Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia will face Jerome Le Banner in Japan.
DREAM officials recently announced the matchup for the year-ending
“DREAM: New Year! 2011” event, but there’s a catch: Sylvia and Le Banner
won’t meet in an MMA contest but rather a professional wrestling bout.
Headlined by a heavyweight matchup between Fedor Emelianenko and Satoshi
Ishii, “DREAM: New Year! 2011” airs live in North America at 1 a.m. ET
on Saturday morning, Dec. 31 (10 p.m. PT Friday evening, Dec. 30).
