Tim Sylvia looked better than he has in a long time at Adrenaline MMA IV.

Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia made a successful return to the cage Friday night, Sept. 18, in Council Bluffs, Iowa as he defeated rising prospect Jason Riley with a first round TKO.

For a time Sylvia considered branching out into professional boxing. However, after a very quick KO loss to elderly ex-boxing champ Ray Mercer, Sylvia realized that trying to start a boxing career at his age was not the smartest move.

by

Two Tim Sylvia (24-6) articles in two days — what is the world coming to? It looks as though Sylvia is returning to MMA action, and no it is not with the UFC. Instead, the big guy will climb back into the cage against heavyweight Jason Riley (6-1) as part of Monte Cox’s Adrenaline promotion. Riley confirmed the bout via his Myspace account.

According to nwitimes.com “Adrenaline IV” will likely take place at the Mid America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Sept. 18. Also expected to fight on the card are UFC veterans Houston Alexander and Jeremy Horn.
