Project run away

The Ohio Athletic Commish has nixed a proposed fight between Tim "The Maine-iac" Sylvia & Wes "The Project" Sims, on the grounds that they "felt the fight was not going to be competitive at this time after comparing records and the opponents both fighters had faced."

I have to admit I was confused. Yes, Sylvia is a former UFC HW champ, but Sims has won 3 of his last 4 & just finished a stint on TUF. Sure, he just lost to Bobby Lashley, but Lashley may or may not be the next big thing in MMA. Plus Sylvia just got his lights turned off by Ray Mercer (yes, the old boxer) 9 seconds into Round 1 last summer...non-competitive for who?
