Former UFC heavyweight champion “Maine-iac” Tim Sylvia (24-6) agreed to an interview with Fighters.com before his fight versus Jason Riley (6-1) at Adrenaline MMA 4 in Omaha Friday…until he peeped my questions.

“Chad, I am not going to do this interview,” Sylvia graciously responded.  “I don’t like how this whole thing is coming accross.  Sorry.”

Below are the questions that Sylvia refused to answer along with what Fighters.com could dig-up.  You decide if Fighters.com’s questions were out of line.  Of course, Fighters.com would prefer to put Sylvia on the record on the issues fans are chattering about.   And, Fighters.com stands by everything written here as told by reliable sources, but sources can only speak from their point of view.   It’s unfortunate Sylvia won’t tell his story.

Fighters.com: Looking back, was the “Merciless” Ray Mercer (1-1) fight a good decision?

“Croatian Sensation” Pat Miletich (29-7-2) defeated Thomas Denny (25-18) via knockout in the main event of Adrenaline MMA 2 Thursday night in Moline. Ben Rothwell (26-6) set the tone during the bout just before Miletich’s victory with a submission victory of his own via strikes over Chris Guillen (13-12).

Showing no rust from age, the forty-year-old Miletich revisited yesteryear with a dominant performance over Denny. The victory by knockout was both impressive and surprising in contrast to Miletich’s fight record richly built off of submission wins.

Pat Miletich officially won via knockout at 0:50 of the second round.

Heavyweight Ben Rothwell (26-6) showed no remnants of his recent loss to “Pitbull” Andrei Arlovski (14-5) when he quickly dispatched Chris Guillen (13-12) in the opening round with a barrage of heavy elbows.

Ben Rothwell officially won via submission due to strikes at 3:40 of the first round.
