tim sylvia (Timsylviamma) on Twitter

I saw on his twitter that it said:

"Spike has got me on all night tonight, wonder y "

Could he be hinting at a return?

If so...

who could he fight right now? (Can you guess what i'm thinking?)

[Sick_Lunatic]

Only two heavies without fights.

Timmy vs Lesnar or Timmy vs Nelson (since Carwin's injured). But Brock will probably be out for a bit so Big Country would be the most likely choice, for Jan 1.

And then Frank Mir can fight the other one (Lesnar or Nelson)

Tim would give Brock a lot of problems. More than a lot of guys would just because he is hard to take down and has long crisp jabs.

Lord I hope he isn't coming back. Tim hasn't looked good in a while, I mean when was the last time he beat anyone of any sort of legitimacy? I would almost rather see Ricco Rodriquez back instead

[rob_bills]

big timmay vs big country.. the battle of the bellies

[W.Silva>C.Norris]

Sylvia hasnt looked good since the 2nd arlovski fight. He should just keep working at burger king.

I can't stand tim sylvia but bring him in, I mean who really gives a shit? If he loses good I get to see him get beat up. If he wins then it's just another variable and more fight oppurtunities for us to watch. everyone thinks the hw division is stacked but really it's like 6 entertaining guys to watch. Most of the hw guys people mention are in the same little circle. I'd like cheick (who I don't like) bs sylvia.

please no, I have zero interest in seeing tim fight. Someone correct me if i am wrong but i thought Dana said the only way Tim gets back into the UFC is if he went through TUF. then again dana says a lot of things and goes and does another so who knows.....i think there is lots of heavies much better than tim to bring in to fight big country or mir or lesnar,

[b1uef1ow]

Jeez can Timah even cut weight? Last few fights have been at super heavy weight for him.

If he comes in in shape, I completely agree. If he was fighting like he was back in 2003, I would actually give Timmy the edge but he has had too many injuries. Never been a fan of his, but I definitely think the average MMA fan forgets that he was pretty good at one time prior to all the injuries.

I would give him one tune up fight on an undercard against Yvel or someone like that, or maybe a rematch against Rothwell.
