Affliction Entertainment, scheduled to make its MMA debut on July 19 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., keeps building this event with the latest news
Tim Sylvia recently sat down with the Baltimore Sun to discuss a variety of issues including his upcoming fight for Affliction on July 19. Sylvia is preparing to take on Fedor Emelianenko, who is widely considered the best heavyweight in the world. Below are some interesting experts from that interview:
Sylvia On Fedor Being Ranked Number 1:
Sylvia "Creo que puedo ganar a cualquier boxeador del mundo"
Real estate mogul Donald Trump, who recently partnered with Affliction Clothing to create Affliction Entertainment, and heavyweight fighter Tim "The Maine-iac" Sylvia (Pictures), held a media conference call Thursday to promote the July 19 Affliction Banned pay-per-view card, headlined by Sylvia's title fight with top-ranked heavyweight Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko (Pictures).
Sylvia discussed his game plan for Fedor and said he felt confident he would win the fight. Oddsmakers, though, have Sylvia, ranked by Sherdog.com as the No. 4 heavyweight in the world, a heavy underdog.
While not exactly on point about his fight with Fedor, perhaps Sylvia's most interesting remark was that if the money was right, he would like to become a professional boxer.
"I believe I can beat any heavyweight boxer in the world," said Sylvia, a former UFC heavyweight champion who competed in the Octagon for years before moving on to Affliction.
Neither Trump nor Sylvia took reporters' bait to bash the UFC, which decided several weeks ago to go head-to-head with the Affliction Banned pay-per-view by broadcasting a card of free fights on Spike TV, headlined by UFC middleweight champion Anderson "The Spider" Silva vs. James Irvin (Pictures).
Even so, Trump said, "I think it's probably not great for the sport -- although a lot of people are going to be watching, but I have a feeling we will top them because we have the better fighters. I don't know if it's a good business strategy. How about if I answer that question on Monday" following the competing July 19 cards?
Asked by one reporter to react to UFC President Dana White reportedly calling Affliction Vice President Tom Atencio (Pictures) a "T-shirt guy," Trump rose to Atencio's defense, but refused to attack White in the process.
"Tom's done an amazing job," Trump said. "And so has Dana White as far as I'm concerned. Dana's been very respectful of me and very nice to me. And I will always be of him."
Trump said entering the MMA world by partnering with Affliction is a natural move for him, noting that he has promoted many boxing matches over the years, including several of Mike Tyson's fights, and that his Atlantic City, N.J. hotel, the Taj Mahal, has staged numerous MMA events.
"I happen to enjoy it," Trump said. "I watch it. I like the MMA stuff. It's the new wave.
da gusto leer lo que dice este tio, no puede ser mas sensato, no es nada gallito y es supersencillo.
si ganase a fedor (cosa imposible, por definicion) me alegraria por el

Pues Merrill no veas la fama que tiene en los foros guiris eh? Lo ponen siempre de vuelta y media por chulo y flipadet, yo la verdad que nunca he seguido mucho sus declaraciones la verdad...
yo he leido en sherdog algunos que lo machacaban pero a base de bien.
en concreto era por que le tio es cazador y decia que se cargaba zarihuellas por que tenia una plaga en casa....
(en imma conto que cuando se retire de las mma seria cazador profesional y que se fue con randy a cazar pavos con arco)
bueno pues le pusieron de redneck, capullo, asesino.....en fin que no se por que voy a contracorriente de los hardcore fans

Hola a todos, soy nuevo en postear aunque llevo meses leyendo el foro, creo para mi desgracia que Fedor va a perder su primer combate contra el gigantón, ya le toca perder y Sylvia es un hueso más duro de lo que la gente piensa, ojalá me confunda.
