- TIM SYLVIA TOPS ADRENALINE IV FIGHT CARD - MMA WEEKLY - Mixed Martial Arts & UFC News, Photos, Rankings & more

Despite early indications of a second Southern showing, Adrenaline MMA will be a local affair for promoter and manager Monte Cox when the fourth installment of the regional promotion hits the Mid-American Center on Sept. 18 in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia will headline his second consecutive Adrenaline card, hoping to shake off a devastating loss to ex-boxing champ Ray Mercer at Adrenaline III in Birmingham, Ala. He faces former Canadian Football League standout Jason Riley.

UFC vets dot the rest of the card, with a light heavyweight match-up between Houston Alexander and Sherman Pendergarst co-headlining the evening, in addition to appearances by Chad Reiner, Forrest Petz, and Joe Vedepo.

...Tim's last 2 fights combined total 45 seconds. He's not a fighter anymore, he's simply coasting off of his formerly good name. I've heard that the night before his bout with Mercer he was bragging about not conditioning himself and eating Taco Bell. Does adding this guy's name to a card draw in any fans? I know for me it's a reason to avoid the promotion as it makes it look like a joke (not that Adrenaline has much dignity to cling to)...
