Monte Cox was right, Tim Sylvia is much better off outside the UFC. Ugh! The former UFC champ on the advice of his manager, Cox, headed for "greener" pastures. He lost in 36 seconds to Fedor Emelianenko and just 11 seconds to 100-year-old boxer Ray Mercer. He does have that big win over Jason Riley. Up next? It could be freak-du-jour Hong Man Choi. In a story first mentioned by The Fight Nerd, Cox confirmed with AOL Fanhouse's Ariel Helwani that Sylvia has committed to fight for DREAM on New Year's Eve.
The 7-foot-2, 320-pound Choi was knocked from DREAM's Super Hulk tournament in September when he lost to 5-9, 190 pound Izuhisa Minowa. All kidding aside, Sylvia should destroy Choi and start back up the ladder towards legitimate heavyweights. There's nothing wrong with another fight to help him repair that wounded ego.
Last night was a big night for upcoming fight rumors. Gray Maynard v. Nate Diaz leads the way. Robbie Lawler is rumored to have been offered a December date against Ronald "Jacare" Souza or Nick Diaz. And the UFC has signed another Gracie.
