Following a story.

The new ProElite has locked down the details for their second card since re-emerging on the scene. The show will take place at the iWireless Center in Moline, IL on November 5th, and will feature two heavyweight bouts on top. MMA Fighting has the 411:

The main event is expected to be a heavyweight bout between former UFC champion Tim Sylvia and three-time UFC heavyweight title challenger Pedro Rizzo. Additionally, fellow former UFC heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski will fight Travis Fulton, regarded as the busiest fighter in MMA history with more than 300 career fights.

Also expected on the card is the start of an 8-man heavyweight tournament featuring Mark Ellis, and bouts featuring Reagan Penn and Tara LaRosa. Promoter T. Jay Thompson says that a fourth meeting between Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski "isn't in their plans right now, but could be down the road". They are negotiating to have the fight broadcasted on HDNet right now, but nothing is finalized as of yet. The show had been scheduled to take place in Atlantic City, but scheduling conflicts forced them to find a new venue, which just happens to be very close to where Tim Sylvia lives and works as a police officer.
