Lol what a drama queen!

I watched Tim's video. Its really quite sad for a former champ to kind of beg people to help make him relevant again.

If Tim wants back in the UFC....1.get in shape 2. fight some meaningful fights and win 3. start calling out fighters, 4. don't beg the fans for their help.

Yeah, I remember that. Kinda embarrassing for one of Pat's boys to try & pull that. I think this makes up for it, though:

I forgot about that! I don't even remember the spider bit. That woman was a yetch, I felt sorry for him.

I like Tim, I'm a fan but he's made some dumb moves.

This.

Y'all are too mean to Tim IMO.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing him get another shot in the UFC, and I don't think he needs any tune-ups to do it. The HW division isn't exactly "deep" and the guy has been there before. Even if he gets KTFO in 30 seconds, Tim is a former UFC Champion. I agree, he definitely was out of shape the last time I saw him, but he can shed weight if he really wants to, I'm almost sure he can.

I agree!

This. I was always a Big Tim fan during his UFC tenure, but ex-champ or not, nobody gets a free pass back in.

Sadly, it's been 5 years since he lost the belt to Randy, and 9 years since he was in his best shape, when he beat down Ricco Rodriguez for his first belt. He's been in the game 13 years...I really don't think he has it in him to do what it takes to get back in the UFC.

Prove me wrong Tim.
