Tim Sylvia

Adrenaline MMA 4 took place at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Friday September 18. In the main event, former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia took on Jason Riley (6-2) and in the co-main event Houston Alexander (9-4) fought Sherman Pendergarst (11-14).

Houston Alexander completely annihilated Sherman Pendergarst in a one sided affair. In the early going Alexander landed leg kick after leg kick until, he buckled Pendergarst.  Alexander continued the assault with several knees and quickly finished Pendergarst with strikes on the ground at 1:51 of the first round.

Tim Sylvia looked to get back to his winning ways against the young up and comer Jason Riley.  Sylvia out-striked Riley from the start landing solid jabs and knees.  Riley showed his resilience in the beginning, but was floored with a huge left hook that sent him crashing to the canvas.  Sylvia followed Riley to the ground, and unloaded several punches, ending the fight at 2:52 of the first round via technical knock out.

Adrenaline MMA will be hosting their fourth show on September 18th at the Mid American Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  Officials within the organization revealed the full thirteen-fight event card including a main event fights between former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia (24-6) and Jason Riley as well as Houston Alexander (8-4) and Sherman Pendergarst (11-14).

Sylvia is currently on a three-fight losing streak with losses to Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and most recently a nine second knock out loss to Ray Mercer.  Sylvia is confident that a successful run of victories will bring him back under the UFC banner.

Also on a three-fight losing streak is Houston Alexander who got permission to fight at the event.  Should he lose his fight against Pendergarst, Alexander will more than likely be cut from the UFC.  Alexander quickly became a fan favorite after his quick knock out victories over Alessio Sakara and Keither Jardine.
