The June 12 weigh-in event for Adrenaline III ‘Bragging Rights,’ featuring Tim Sylvia versus Ray Mercer, is officially in the books. The troubled MMA card is set to take place tonight (June 13) at the BJCC Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
All 28 fighters who tipped the scales yesterday made weight without incident — though former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia stunned the crowd with a scale-busting weight of 310 pounds for his MMA-turned-boxing-turned-MMA fight against former pugilist powerhouse Ray Mercer.
The "The Maine-iac" typically fights in the heavyweight division, capping off at 265 pounds. In his fight with Fedor Emelianenko for example, Sylvia weighed in at 263 pounds, a staggering 47 pounds less than he is for this bout.
This new development has prompted Adrenaline officials to considered changing the name of the Adrenaline III card to "Sagging Rights."
It's unclear if this is part of a strategy that Sylvia had originally intended for his boxing match or just pure laziness on his part. For what it's worth, his cagey opponent "Merciless" weighed in at a svelte 256.6 pounds.
Not that I needed to remind anyone but this "attraction" has f'ugly written all over it.

These two look like they’re rubbing uglies. Mercer looks mildly surprised, Sylvia just looks satisfied.

how is that even possible, how could he have possible gained that much weight whilst still training, this is absolutly rediculous. How can he even say that he is remotly taking this seriously, or taking mma seriously, i wonder if he realises that if affliction does by any chance offer him another fight that he’s going to have to loose 45lbs. How can anyone take this guy seriously anymore, i would love it if mercer actually KO’d him

“Braggin Rights in the Buffet Line!!!” That’s where they’re adrenaline is. Lucky for us they only showed from his chest up, instead of all the UFC posters with his stomach tucked in.
