Tim Sylvia vs Jerome Lebanner booked for Dec. 31 pro wrestling bout in Japan

Photo

Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia is back on the FieLDS 'Genki Desu Ka!!' fight card for Dec. 31, 2011, at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

But he won't be fighting.

Instead, "The Maine-iac" will be facing off against K-1 kickboxer Jerome LeBanner in a pro wrestling bout under the Inoki Genome Federation (IGF) banner as part of the New Year's Eve extravaganza that will include Fedor Emelianenko vs. Satoshi Ishii and the DREAM bantamweight grand prix finals, among others.

Sylvia was originally booked to sling leather opposite domestic do-badder Brett Rogers, but "The Grim's" legal run-ins threw a monkey wrench into those plans.

Here's what else to expect from the Genki Desu Ka!! supershow:

Star-divide

DREAM Bantamweight Grand Prix:

135 lbs.: Bibiano Fernandes vs. Rodolfo Marques

Lmaooo

Jason Miller is a retard with straight hair and curly teeth.Hes a couple of dolly mixtures short of a quarter and spends his time swinging of a tyre attached to a rope! I should have listened to the MMA royalty on here,especially Jay,ANS and ViolentMike who kept reminding me that Mikes wrestling was the best at 185 and 205 and that if Greg Jackson,Randy Couture,Blackhouse,ATT or team quest ever needed any tips on game planning Wolfsalir is just a phone call away

Exactly

That’s blatant disrespect to the Undertaker.

Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart

Sylvia wishes he had an undefeated streak going.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

i don't understand this stuff

You put on fake fights… With real fights?… So bizarre and leads to too many moral questions for me.
