    They're going through with it. "Merciless" Ray Mercer, the 48-year old former heavyweight champion, takes on Tim Sylvia at "Adrenaline MMA III: Bragging Rights". The event will take place at the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center in Birmingham, Alabama, after having been moved from its original venue in Atlantic City due to the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board refusing to sanction the bout. Other fights on the card include UFC veteran Jeremy Horn vs. Chris Davis, and UFC veteran Rich "No Love" Clementi vs. Sasuke Zapata. The event is not scheduled to be broadcast.

    Sylvia is scheduled to take on Paul Buentello in MMA later this summer for Affliction.

    Sylvia recently pouted about wanting to fight Brock Lesnar and wanting to finish his career with the UFC.

    You got one of your wishes, Tim. Don't push for two.

    I get the vibe Sylvia is a loser.

    If this fight wasn't silly enough...

    Adrenaline has the MMA fights in a cage. So, Sylvia and Mercer will box in the cage.

    I bet Sylvia is gonna kick/knee Ray Mercer.
    Also, I can't believe his career has come to this, he used to be a UFC champion, if he played his cards right he could still be a mid level/gate keeper HW in the UFC.

    Re: Sylvia vs. Mercer Saturday; Horn, Clementi also on fight card

    he got jealous and pissed that Lesnar earned 250K for his fight with Mir and Timmy earned less even though he'd been with the UFC for years.

    I guess he doesn't get the whole 'putting asses in the seats and selling PPV's' part of how you get paid.

    Sylvia has become a freak show.

    What a fucking joke.

    Guess that poster is now pointless.

    Re: Sylvia vs. Mercer boxing match cancelled, changed to MMA fight

    I wonder how much Sylvia was gonna make from this match. He had that million dollar payday from Affliction, theres now way he could be short on money so soon.

    Re: Sylvia vs. Mercer boxing match cancelled, changed to MMA fight

    He wants a HW title fight. He thinks there is money (and respect) in boxing. Problem is the only money in boxing is at the top, and he's not going to be fighting one of the Klitschko brothers by beating up a 48-year old (not to say boxing isn't kind of fucky right now, especially in that division). Plus he's not a draw. Supposedly this fight isn't being advertised in the LOCAL paper in Birmingham, let alone nationally.

    The only explanation is that his fear of losing/humiliation is leading him to follow the guidance of his dipshit manager. Not to be dropping freshman psychology on this, but it's obvious he's got a bit of a complex. He wants acceptance, always has. He wanted it from MFS (where Hughes and Pulver used to shit on him), he wanted it from the UFC fans (but he couldn't figure out that being exciting is more important than not losing), and he wants it from the MMA community (that's what he says he's boxing for--respect).

    Problem is he takes shortcuts. Safety first fights with Monson and Arlovski, folding against Couture, quick taps against Nog and Fedor, steroids, a pointless boxing career--he's misguided.

    whenever I hear the name Monte Cox, I think Douchebag.

    Silva is that clueless guy who doesn't know how to win the fans over for sure. He's obviously very insecure.
