Twice postponed, the fight between Pedro Rizzo and Tim Sylvia was announced this Wednesday, according to our collaborator Junior Samurai. The bout is set to take place at the November 5 Pro Elite event in Illinois.
Not having fought since July 2010, the heavyweight from Rio de Janeiro is riding a three-fight winning streak, two of which came by way of technical knockout – against legends of the sport Gary Goodridge and Kan Shamrock.
Now former UFC champion Sylvia has put a spate of bad results behind him by rattling off four back-to-back wins, all by knockout, but lost to Abe Wagner in his last outing, at Titan 16. Who do you think takes this one, dear reader?
