PrintRay Mercer gives away his game plan and lays the pressure down on Tim Sylvia at the Adrenaline III press conference:
"It's all going to boil down to who is a real man and who is going to do what we said we was going to do. We are going to get in there and he can kick and all that. I ain't going to be kicking or nothing. I'm going to be doing boxing."
If the fight does hit the floor, however, Mercer claims he is up for it:
"I'll do MMA, MCI, AT&T, I'll do all of it," Mercer said. "Anything he wants to do I'm ready."

Why wouldn't Mercer box?
He was training for a boxing match, it’s not like he would have been able to put togethe an MMA game on 2 days notice.

He is trying to influence Sylvia more than just saying he will come out and box.

What influence? Sylvia has largely boxed his way across MMA – when’s the last time he really mixed up his game? Excluding the rare kick/TD (see: Tre Telligman), he just stands straight and punches. It’ll be a boxing match anyway, just with MMA gloves.

This is such bullshit...
I feel bad for Mercer man… honestly.
The guy trained his fucking ass off, he’s 48 years old. I hope Tim Sylvia tries to strike with Ray Mercer, and Ray lands a 4oz of pain to his chin and KO’s him.

Agreed.

I spend an average of 10 minutes each day wishing bad things upon Sylvia.

Its also awesome that they couldn’t have discussed this before the press conference.
I dislike Matt Hughes.

have mercer announce to the crowd right b/f the fight his intention to forfeit if taken down. in that event, tim would get the MMA “win” but it would be obvious to all who the better boxer was.
There’s your loophole boys and girls :)
I still
can’t believe this is going to happen, wasn’t the first indication that this match was a joke when they had to move it to an area that doesn’t have an AC
