Whoever thought that and started to get it into motion should be fired.

I doubt we will see Tim ever again in the UFC but honestly does anyone care? The guy would get blasted by 80% of the HWs on the roster right now.
If you take out Barnett and Bigfoot, Sylvia would be the best guy Cormier has faced. It wouldn't be such a stretch, and it would be marketable in that "odd strikeforce keth jardine fighting for a title because he used to be in the UFC" kinda way.
