Sorry I couldn't link directly to his forum post but his forum requires manual approval. So the source goes to another site that found this info. source...

With that said we knew he said:

i have one fight left on my contract i want to stay with the ufc but i am going to go were the money is right now Brock is making more m0ney then me that has to change i have a better name then him and i am a better fighter then him, i case u didn’t know my manager runs m1 so i have a pretty good in so we will see what happens in the next few months.

And now to try to save face he is saying

well let me just start off by saying people r fucked up by saying that i want to leave the ufc. I dont its my home and i would love to be there for the rest of my carear. Second I didnt say i wanted or even was thinking about m1 u guys (forum users) asked about it and I told u my manager runs it thats it, so please dont take shit out of context. Some of u people are going to get me in trouble with the ufc.

Man I hope us "people" get him in trouble for what HE said. Granted he didn't say he wanted to go to m1, but on the other hand he did imply it.

[Ramma]

He absolutely implied that he was considering M1...

Lol, think before you type Sylvia

Ever since Tim Sylvia posted a comment on his website about how he feels he deserves more money, every man and his computer-literate dog have been posting and commenting about how Tim is halfway out the UFC’s metaphoric door or is already halfway through a jump into M-1’s pantaloons.

In response to the reaction that post caused, Tim posted a follow up comment on his site:

well let me just start off by saying people r fucked up by saying that i want to leave the ufc. I dont its my home and i would love to be there for the rest of my carear. Second I didnt say i wanted or even was thinking about m1 u guys (forum users) asked about it and I told u my manager runs it thats it, so please dont take shit out of context. Some of u people are going to get me in trouble with the ufc.

Also on a side note, after I was finally able to obtain a membership to his website I asked Tim why Pat Miletich was not in his corner, to which he responded:

and to ur ques. about pat is he was realy busy for this fight and had a lot of stuff going on and wasnt around alot so we talked and he told me who i should take with me.

Cool your jets people, nothing appears to be happening anytime soon.

Five Ounces of Pain | Tim Sylvia clarifies previous comments about the UFC and M-1 Global

Seems Timmy is worried about burning bridges with the UFC. I wouldn't be surprised if Monte told him he needed to get this shit right because M1 probably wouldn't be a home for Tim if he left the UFC.

[Krazikarl]

Yeah, somebody told Timmy that M1 is a bit of a joke right now and trying to leverage it against the UFC in a contract negotiation is just going to end badly for Timmy.

[Warchief]

Now Timmy is eating his words lol.

[strife]

Why does he type like a child?

[Clint]

Especially since he can't negotiate with another org until he is out of his current contract. So statements like "my manager is also the President of M1, so I have other options" are borderline trouble for both of them

I really hope UFC doesn't invest a lot of money in resigning him. Use his salary to give other fighters a raise.

My God, could you imagine how the world would be flipped if he went to M1 and beat Fedor! I don't think that's a world I want to live in.

M1 would have to actually put on a show first and not many people will pay to see just 2 fighters (if Timmay did sign).

[smoogy]

Damn you internet morons, twisting his words out of context!
