DETROIT, MI - Former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Tim Sylvia was involved in a fight at a bar in downtown Detroit Michigan with 7 foot, 320 pound WWE Superstar, Glen 'Kane' Jacobs (pictures below).

No details are currently being released on how the fight started. A witness says the two were arguing and Tim Sylvia instigated the fight. Jacobs quickly took Sylvia to the ground and repeatedly punched him in the face. The bartender along with a bystander helped pull Jacobs off Sylvia. Sylvia was said to have suffered a broken nose and a black eye.

The police were notified but since the fight was not prolonged and neither men wanted to press any charges, no arrests were made. Sylvia was driven by a friend who was with him to the hospital to treat the broken nose. Glen Jacobs left the scene with his wife shortly after.

More details to be released as they come in.

Proving yet again, no matter how much of a bad ass UFC fighter you are, there is no substitute for cubic inches and a little ground fighting skill.

Hell, I don't blame Glen. He was with his wife, and Sylvia started the fight with him in a bar full of people. If I were in Glen's shoes I would have probably kicked his ass too.

Glen is actually a very level headed guy, and a very active libertarian.

Here is an article from Jan of '08:

Quote:

ABC's Z. Byron Wolf reports from Nashua, N.H.: Ron Paul does not have a security detail. The closest thing is a retired customs inspector who acts as Paul's driver and body man on the road.
So, it was a little odd to see an enormous -- truly, a well-muscled giant -- standing behind Paul in a red polo shirt, and looking menacing when the Texas congressman was mobbed by supporters after a speech to a meeting of the Liberty Forum in Nashua, N.H., today.
Turns out, it was not an addition to the small cadre of family and staff that travel with Paul, but a new supporter: Glen Jacobs, aka "Kane" from the WWE. Jacobs was appearing at the Liberty Forum, independent of Paul, but has endorsed the congressman's bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
Another featured speaker at the Liberty Forum today: John Birch Society president John McManus.
It is unclear if Kane, who has made a career of looking menacing, meant to do so today, but it appeared like it would hurt if he body slammed you as he lumbered behind Paul, among supporters.
Appearances can be deceiving, however. When asked by reporters earlier if he ended up campaigning for Paul, would he ask people for their vote "nicely?" Jacobs said that "Libertarians oppose the use of force, of course." Asked how that jives with his wrestling career, Kane said that it's different because, "You know, the other guy steps in the ring with you."

Sure did. I heard he had recently slipped back into the drugs. No foul play so I'm guessing it is drug related.

UPDATE-- There are some online reports going around saying WWE Superstar Kane had gotten into a bar fight with UFC star Tim Sylvia this past week in Detroit. However, neither man was in Detroit at the time of the alleged incident.
To confirm, a WWE spokesman dismissed the story, telling The Sun: "This is a total fabrication."
Kane also offered comment to the British newspaper.
"I was sitting at home at the time and someone told me – that was the first I'd heard about it," Kane said. "I hear I handled it pretty well though. I'm happy with myself! I'm pretty sure Tim won't hold a grudge."
Kane went on to say that he and Undertaker have taken part in MMA training.
"Wrestlers are a little tougher than we're generally given credit for and I think we'd represent ourselves well," Kane said.

Quite true sir...

Good thing I wasn't there either, because at 6"0", 230lbs, and over 50, I'd have shot and killed both people who were lucky enough to not be there either.............

Don't fuck with old people. We're tired, cranky, and we will kill you.

All I'm saying is: Rematch in the cage ASAP!
