Two former UFC stars were in action last night at Adrenaline MMA IV in Council Bluffs, Iowa, among others. Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia and UFC light heavyweight fighter Houston Alexander were both looking to pick up much needed wins when they stepped inside the cage last night, and both did just that.

Anderson Silva says he wants to fight at heavyweight and has his sights set of former-champion Frank Mir, Georges St-Pierre continues to recover from a groin injury and is likely to return to action in January, and Efrain Escudero vs. Cole Miller and Drew McFedries vs. Tomasz Drwal are set for the Spike TV broadcast of the UFC 103 undercard.
