Fresh off a loss to newly-crowned UFC heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (31-4-1), heavyweight Tim Sylvia (24-4-0) is hinting that he might jump ship and move to another organization.

But his bitter loss to the Brazilian champion isn't the reason. Instead, Sylvia is upset that wrestling superstar Brock Lesnar (1-1-0) earned more in his UFC debut than Sylvia did for the championship fight.

"I have one fight left on my contract," Sylvia writes at tim-sylvia.com. “I want to stay with the UFC, but I am going to go where the money is. Right now Brock [Lesnar] is making more money than me. That has to change. I have a better name than him, and I am a better fighter than him."

Lesnar earned $250,000 for his fight with Frank Mir (11-3-0), which lasted only 90-seconds before Lesnar was forced to tap out due to a kneebar submission. Sylvia earned $100,000 for his losing efforts against Nogueira, plus another $60,000 for winning "Fight of the Night".

In the face of such glowing disrespect, Sylvia is saying he may leave the UFC.

"My manager [Monte Cox] runs [M-1 Global] so I have a pretty good in, so we will see what happens in the next few months," he writes.
