Tim Sylvia will main the July 19th Affliction: Banned pay per view from the Affliction MMA group. His opponent is Randy Couture's dream opponent, Fedor Emalianenko. Of course, Tim lost the UFC Title

to Couture in their famous match last year. Tim also lost the UFC Title before, when Frank Mir broke

Tim's arm. Frank, of course, also defeated Brock Lesnar in Brock's UFC debut. Tim left UFC and signed

with Affliction. Now Tim is fighting Fedor.

 

Can you follow all that?

THE BALTIMORE SUN interviewed Tim about a variety of subjects in an interview that you can read in

its entirety HERE .   

 

Key Excerpts:

 

Baltimore Sun: How’s the training going for Fedor?

 

Tim Sylvia: Good, real good. I’m preparing the same way I prepare for anyone else, I train my ass off and may the best man win.

Baltimore Sun: If you win against Fedor, do you think you would deserve the title of No. 1 heavyweight in the world?

 

Sylvia: Yeah, I’ve answered this question a couple times. I just don’t think, in MMA it’s hard to label someone as No. 1. I think the top five guys are all No. 1. It’s just so tough, we’re all so competitive. It’s so close and in MMA anything can happen at any given moment. I don’t care about being ranked No. 1, I care about beating the best guys out there.

 

Baltimore Sun: Can Affliction compete with the UFC?

 

Sylvia: I don’t think Affliction is even considering competing with the UFC. They are just looking to put on quality shows, pay the

 fighters well and have a good time doing it because they can.

 

Baltimore Sun: Down the line, do you see yourself back in the UFC or have you put that behind you?

 

Sylvia: Yeah, eventually I would like to be back in the UFC. Right now, I have other opportunities and there’s a chance for me to make some money as a free agent so that’s what I’m going to do right now.

Baltimore Sun: Do you have friends in the UFC who are coming to you with complaints now that you’re currently out of the organization?

 

Sylvia: I was with the UFC for five years. I have a lot of friends in the UFC, eh, you know what, no comment. I eventually want to fight back there some day and I left on good terms.  

 

Baltimore Sun: Speaking of Internet idiots, what do you think about Kimbo Slice?

 

Sylvia: I commend him for becoming somebody and making a living for himself. I’m not mad at Kimbo for making a living -- he’s a self-made man. They put his fights on You Tube and then they said, I wanna pay you $300,000 to fight on prime time TV. You can’t get mad at him for that. You gotta get mad at the people putting fights on TV. There are better guys to showcase, guys who have busted ass, who have fought for 200 bucks and had to get stitches and have paved the way for other fighters. A guy like Kimbo can walk in and be on prime time to fight a bum -- it’s not fair to the true mixed martial artists.

 

Baltimore Sun: What do you think about Brock Lesnar?

 

Sylvia: I think once again, he’s a guy who it’s not fair to come in and be the co-main event. To have one fight and get half a million, it’s not fair to guys like me and guys like [Antonio Rogerio] Nogueira.  I know why they try to do this -- to get more fans -- but there are guys out there who have been loyal to the sport and when stuff like this happens it’s like a slap in the face.

Baltimore Sun: What did you think about the decision in the Forrest Griffin-Quinton Jackson fight? Did you think Griffin won?  

 

Sylvia: No, I didn’t. I love Forrest, he’s a great guy and they are both good friends of mine, but that’s why I was talking about judges. I really believe Forrest won round two and I believe he won five, and Quinton dominated the first round -- maybe a 10-8 round -- and won rounds three and four 10-9, but judges just weren’t educated enough in MMA.
