The main event for Adrenaline MMA III will feature a boxing match between former boxing heavyweight champion Ray Mercer and former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia.
Most fans and observers have deemed such an event a 'freak show' and it just got a lot more freaky. Sylvia and Mercer will box in an MMA-styled cage.
This fight was originally scheduled to take place in New Jersey but the state athletic commission refused to sanction the bout, that is when Monte Cox decided to move the fight to a place where there is no regulatory body, Alabama.
For those keeping track, Tim Sylvia, a MMA fighter who has never professionally boxed, will fight a forty eight year old boxer, in a state with no regulatory body and in a cage.
Will the referee be the bearded lady?
