Not only was he pulled from the Affliction card, but he expressed interest in ending his career with the UFC... heres what Dana had to say.

Former two time UFC chmpion Tim Sylvia (24-5) recently talked to Fighters Only Magazine expressing interest that he would like to end his career with the UFC. However when the 33-year-old Maine-iac squared off against legendary Mercer, 48, in a mixed martial arts encounter that formed part of the Adrenaline III show in Birmingham, Alabama. Sylvia was knocked out 9 seconds into the bout by an overhand right which left the former champion on the canvas, forcing the referee to call an end to the bout. The president of the UFC, Dana white was vocal on his thoughts regarding Sylvia’s comments on returning to the UFC:

“Are you kidding me, he seriously wants to return to the UFC?†asked White “He hasn’t won a fight in years and when he did he usually put eveyone to sleep, the only time he’s in an exciting fight is when he’s getting his [expletive] a$$ 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 inâ€

Say how you really feel Dana

Dana doesn't hold a grudge or anything now does he?

That is funny because Sylvia is one of the characters in the UFC video game for the heavyweight division.

thats because when they sign with the ufc they sign away their "likeness," it allows the ufc to use it for a certain period of time. isnt arlovski on the game also?

Tim is done....when a 48-year-old knocks you out in 10secs, TIME TO GO!!!

As is Tito and some others that have moved on. Like I say all the time, Dana White is a shark.
