Ex-UFC champ Tim Sylvia NOT fighting on NYE

Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia will not be competing at K-1 Dynamite on New Year’s Eve.

The 33-year-old had verbally agreed his Japanese debut and his agent Monte Cox had mentioned Alistair Overeem and Hong Man Choi as potential opponents. Yet for reasons undisclosed the bout has fallen through at the last minute.

“Just found out not fighting in Japan on New Year’s,” Sylvia twittered on Friday.

Adding to Sylvia’s woes is the fact that he’s recently returned to full health after breaking his right hand in his September victory over Jason Riley at Adrenaline 4.
