In an article by Dave Meltzer over at Yahoo! Sports, Tim Sylvia talks after his WAMMA Heavyweight Title match with Fedor Emelianenko. Fedor won the belt by defeating the big man from Maine 36 seconds into the opening around by a rear naked choke submission.
“I know I’m one of the best heavyweights in the world, and I was amazed at him,” said Sylvia. “I really don’t think that he’s human.”
Emelianenko laughed about the comment.
“I’m human,” he said, noting his thumb came out of its socket during the flurry. “I thought I was the guy to beat him,” said Sylvia. “But I’ve never been hit so hard. I think it was a choke across the windpipe because that hurts. But my pride’s hurt, that’s about it.”
