Are you kidding me? He seriously wants to return to the UFC?. He hasn't won a fight in years and when he did he usually put everyone to sleep. The only time he's in an exciting fight is when he's getting his [expletive] ass handed to him. Look, he just got beat by a near 50 year old in under 10 [expletive] seconds. How do you expect to be taken seriously after that? He just made MMA look like a complete joke. If he has any hopes of ending his career in (the) UFC he will have to go on TUF. There's no other way he's getting in."

-Dana White addresses recent reports that former UFC champion Tim Sylvia would like to finish his career in the UFC. Once considered among the top five heavyweight fighters in the world, Sylvia was recently dispatched in embarrassing fashion, being dropped by 48-year-old former pro boxer Ray Mercer, in his MMA debut, just 9-seconds into the first round of their fight this past weekend at Adrenaline MMA III. The loss was Sylvia's second in as many fights and knocked the New England native out of a marquee fight with Paul Buentello at Affliction: "Trilogy".

What's next for Sylvia is anyone's guess, but after coming in more than 45-pounds overweight for his last fight with rumors that he hasn't been training, one would surmiss that a treadmill and some restraint at the dinner table would be in order if the 33-year-old Sylvia wishes to push his name back to respectablility in the sport and earn another shot at the UFC.

Eh, Sylvia is ass. Dana's right, he's made a mockery of the sport by doing all this circus shit, and getting KTFO by a guy who fought in World War I

Test won't give you abs. It was probably just a banned substance like winstrol or anavar (cutters).

If you go on gear and dont work out properly (along with a good diet) you will just bloat...ie-Sylvia.

lol Sylvia. It seems like everyone on Earth dislikes this guy, almost makes you feel bad for him. Dude can't fight, has a personality none likes, but one that people don't exactly hate. So no one gives a fuck if he fights or not, they just don't want to see him win. He would probably hurt the TUF brand by being on that show. I'd easily skip a season of TUF if he was on it.

He should consider being a bouncer at a strip joint and call it finished.

"Sylvia was stripped of the title nine months earlier after testing positive for the steroid Stanazolol after his title defense against Gan McGee. Sylvia vs. Mir was supposed to happen earlier, but Sylvia failed a second steroid test before the first scheduled date."

thats a qoute from the UFC 48 story....cuz sylvia fought mir....when he got his arm broken..
