Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia wants back in the big show.  He'd heard Dana White talking about the Nate Marquardt situation, where Dana said that he's all about giving people second chances.  On his Twitter account, Sylvia wrote:

 

I heard u say in a interview that everybody makes mistakes and u will give anybody a 2 chance. Well I would love one.

 

Tim is a still a solid heavyweight fighter.  He ticked off 4 straight wins after his shocking KO loss to Ray Mercer, but he got blown out in his last fight, losing to Abe Wagner by first round KO back in January.  So it appears that getting back into the Octagon is going to entail more than just Dana White's forgiveness.  Big Tim is going to have to look good, get some wins and earn his way back in.

Tim has a long way to go. First he needs to lose weight, in his last fight he weighed in at 311 which is quite a few pounds more then then 265 pound limit for Heavyweight. I don't think Tim is likely to ever return in the UFC, an era gone by.
