Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia, who at 33 years old looked more washed-up than the 48-year-old Mercer. This fight was originally scheduled for May in Atlantic City, but Mercer couldn't get sanctioned by New Jersey's Athletic Commission.
It was the type of fight that makes us think of the movie "Diggstown" with James Woods and Lou Gossett Jr. Just watch Sylvia collapsed on Mercer's first punch nine seconds into the fight.
