Sylvia responds to Couture's Trash Talking

Recently, Couture criticized Sylvia, stating that Tim has been fighting mainly not to lose, rather than to win. The current UFC Heavyweight Champion responded to those comments.“I don’t think they’re justified at all,” stated Sylvia. “[Andrei] Arlovski was game until I rocked him. When I rocked him, he didn’t want to engage. I chased him for a while and I cut him off. As soon as I cut him off, he got out of there. Same thing with [Jeff] Monson; when I threw some big punches and big knees, I hurt him and dropped him. For the most part, he was trying to take me down for the whole fight. You can’t finish somebody when they do stuff like that. I’ve only seen Randy finish somebody like once or twice I think.” “The role’s reversed a little bit. I think Randy is trying to get himself motivated. I think he’s trying to find ways to make himself think that he can win,” added Sylvia regarding Couture’s comments. “I don’t need to trash talk, I’m the heavyweight champ of the world. I think I’ve proven myself and I’m going out there one fight at a time. Hopefully at the end of the night my hand is raised and I beat a legend.”
