Here it is. Notice the look Mercer gives Tim as the video starts; Tim had just leg kicked him, then boom, night night big Tim. Oh man. Ray “Merciless” Mercer vs. Tim “The Maniac” Sylvia at “Adrenaline III: Bragging Rights” in Birmingham, Ala., Saturday, June 13, 2009.
Ray Mercer vs. Tim Sylvia press conference video after the jump…
Here is the press conference where it was announced the boxing match was off, then the MMA match was on. The heat gets turned up between Sylvia and Mercer as they exchange words. This was almost as entertaining as the fight.

The major flaw in that theory is that only one of the two got KO’d for the second time by a real MMA fighter….Mercer is not an MMA fighter by any stretch of the imagination. Getting KO’d by Rogers is not an embarrassing loss, not compared to getting KTFO’d by somebodies grand-pa.
All I can say is……WOW! That is a sick KO! Unbelievable……
I guess if you get KO’ed by Fedor it continues into your next fight (Arvloski and Sylvia) lol.

I keep forgetting Fedor didn’t KO Tim , he choked him out.
It was only meant in a joking way I promise. I actually forgot Fedor choked him out instead of KO’ing him too. My bad. Damn
