Tim Sylvia's recent comments regarding the possibility of leaving the UFC and heading to M-1 Global were refuted on his own forum this weekend. In the new quote, Sylvia had to say this:

"well let me just start off by saying people r f***ed 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."

It could be perceived that Tim is covering his ass. The UFC has strict clauses in their contract that restrict fighters from speaking with other organizations and publicly talking about other organizations, contracts, and any other business dealings. Not only will Tim not want to be in breach of his own contract, he's probably keeping his options open, especially if the UFC decides that the exodus of heavyweights is bad for business.

M-1 Global is still going to be his primary suitor considering the two talents in Aleks and Fedor. Arlovski, Rothwell, Monson, Rizzo, Hunt, Barnett, and others could follow suit and make the Heavyweight division in M-1 Global rival that of the UFC's own division. Sylvia can't fool us. Unfortunately for Sylvia, he still has one fight remaining, and he may find himself in Arlovski's shoes, waiting out his contract until the very last month.
