Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia has announced his retirement from the sport, his MMA record is 31-10-0-1NC. Sylvia fought in the UFC for five years, capturing the UFC Heavyweight Title twice by defeating Ricco Rodriguez at UFC 41 and then defeating Andrei Arlovski at UFC 59. Sylvia was released from the UFC after losing a UFC Interim Heavyweight Title fight to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 81. Sylvia was expected to compete at a Reality Fighting event this past weekend, but his weight ballooning to 371 pounds and a variety of health issues caused the fighter to announce his retirement.
