Sylvia and Nogueria Slated for UFC 81's Main Event

While plastering his picture and using his celebrity status to sell tickets, Brock Lesnar has been bumped down a peg and will not headline the fight card against Frank Mir. The fight will take place that evening but the main event will be Tim Sylvia and Antonio Nogueria for the interim Heavyweight Championship.

UFC 81, which takes place the night before the super bowl, was the hopeful return of Randy Couture but he refuses to fight in the UFC. If he did, he would have faced Nogueria in a defense of his title. We all know the history of Couture and the UFC since they couldn't sign Fedor Emelianenko.
