Tim Sylvia VS Ray Mercer Video

MMA’s Adrenaline III Bragging Rights at the BJCC Arena in Birmingham, Alabama was held Saturday night (June 13), with the main bout between former UFC champion Tim Sylvia and former WBO World heavyweight boxing champion Ray Mercer.

We’d normally tell you to skip ahead to the video at this point if you don’t want to know the results, but it’s hardly worth the bother. Perhaps backing the controversy surrounding the match, Mercer knocked out Sylvia in not just the first round or the first minute, but the first ten seconds.

Ray Mercer gives away his game plan and lays the pressure down on Tim Sylvia at the Adrenaline III press conference:

“It’s all going to boil down to who is a real man and who is going to do what we said we was going to do. We are going to get in there and he can kick and all that. I ain’t going to be kicking or nothing. I’m going to be doing boxing.”

If the fight does hit the floor, however, Mercer claims he is up for it:

“I’ll do MMA, MCI, AT&T, I’ll do all of it,” Mercer said. “Anything he wants to do I’m ready.”

Tim Sylvia threw one kick then Mercer threw a right that connected and put Sylvia straight to the floor.
