The Most Hated UFC Champion
Tim “The Maine-iac” Sylvia, although successful in 5 heavyweight title fights, which is one less than all time record, is one of the most hated UFC champions ever.
He entered the UFC in 2002, finishing Wesley Correira, then the following year he knocked out Ricco Rodriguez to become the UFC heavyweight champion.
But after finishing Dan McGee in his first defense, Sylvia tested positive for steroids and relinquished his title.
On top of being a cheater, Dan McGee didn’t feel like a real challenger so Sylvia didn’t feel like a real champion.
But after losing 2 title fights to Frank Mir, and Andrei Arlovski, Sylvia got a 2 fight win streak, to earn another title shot, this time finishing Andrei Arlovski.
He then defended his title 2 more times, both of which are some of the most boring fights in UFC history, where Sylvia used his range to score enough points to just win a decision.
But thankfully Randy Couture came along to show everyone what a true champion is by dominating
