The Underground

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight kingpin Tim Sylvia weighed in at a staggering 371 pounds for his super heavyweight fight against Juliano "Banana" Coutinho, scheduled for later tonight (Jan. 3, 2015) in the Reality Fighting mixed martial arts (MMA) event inside the Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.

From The Underground:

"Tim Sylvia's fight tonight at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut has been cancelled," added promoter Monte Cox. "The Mohegan Commission did not give him medical clearance to compete."

Sylvia, 38, is mired in a three-fight losing streak and was last seen dropping a unanimous decision to Ruslan Magomedov at Fight Nights: "Battle of Moscow 13" last October. It should be noted that on Sylvia's official Facebook page, he's listed as a "Weight Loss Coach" at Visalus.
