QUOTE The recently scrapped bout between former UFC heavyweight champion, Tim Sylvia and MMA veteran, Wes Sim will go down after all with the International Fighting Confederation announcing the bout as a world super heavyweight title clash.
The following was recently released by the promotion:
The International Fighting Confederation's world super heavyweight title fight will be the main event of a 10-bout card coming to the Port City, tentatively scheduled for June 5.
Tim Sylvia, the former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion, will battle mixed martial artist Wes Sims for the IFC world title under the lights at Harbour Station.
“This is the first time we'll experience superstars of this level in Atlantic Canada,” said Jack Livingston of SRO Entertainment Ltd., the event's promoter. It's never been done before and people can't believe it's coming.”
The fight was set to go down at an Adrenaline MMA show in Ohio before the athletic commission for the state scrapped the bout deeming it to be non-competitive. Looks like we’ll find out if they were right. |
