Tim Sylvia vs. Ray Mercer just got stranger

The main event for Adrenaline MMA III will feature a boxing match between former boxing heavyweight champion Ray Mercer and former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia.

Most fans and observers have deemed such an event a 'freak show' and it just got a lot more freaky. Sylvia and Mercer will box in an MMA-styled cage.

This fight was originally scheduled to take place in New Jersey but the state athletic commission refused to sanction the bout, that is when Monte Cox decided to move the fight to a place where there is no regulatory body, Alabama.

For those keeping track, Tim Sylvia, a MMA fighter who has never professionally boxed, will fight a forty eight year old boxer, in a state with no regulatory body and in a cage.

Will the referee be the bearded lady?

Grid set for 24 Hours of Le Mans, Peugeot starting 1-2-3

As we reported yesterday, Peugeot was clearly the fastest in qualifying for this weekend's running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The record-setting runs of all three 908 HDi diesel-powered LMP1 cars places Peugeot's entire field of entries 1-2-3 on the starting grid. That's impressive considering two of Peugeot's car crashed during the past two weeks of practice. Audi is hoping that its team's experience, quicker pit stops and more fuel efficient R10 LMP1 cars will eventually carry it past the Peugeots, despite starting fourth, fifth and seventh on the 55-car grid. And thanks to the speed of Lola Aston Martin driver Stefan Mücke whose petrol-powered car earned the sixth spot on the starting grid, not all the front runners will be diesel-powered.

As for classes other than LMP1, the next fastest LMP2 class was dominated by the Porsche Spyders not surprisingly, while LMGT1 is being led by the #63 Corvette Racing C6.R. The Corvettes will be chased this year by the particularly fast #50 Larbre Competition Saleen S7 and some slower but determined Aston Martin DBR9s from Aston Martin Racing. Finally, LMGT2 will be another great battle between Porsches and Ferraris, with the #76 Imsa Performance Matmut Porsche 911 GT3 RSR on pole for the class. Remember the amazing GT2 class finish of last year's race between Flying Lizard's Jorg Bergmeister in a Porsche 911 GT3 RSR and Risi Competizione's Jaime Melo in a Ferrari 430GT? If not, watch it again here as a reminder of why Le Mans is absolutely amazing.
