The resurgent ProElite has inked Nov. 5 for its next major event, and two ex-UFC heavyweight champions have taken co-headlining fights.

Five-time champ Tim Sylvia meets Pedro Rizzo in the main event while three-time champ Andrei Arlovski, who headlined the promotion's first event in August, meets journeyman Travis Fulton.

ProElite 2 takes place at the 12,000-seat iWireless Center in Moline, Ill., which is a stone's throw from part-time cop Sylvia's home.

Broadcast plans for the event have yet to be announced, though the promotion is in talks with HDNet to air the second event and additional ones, sources close to negotiations today told MMAjunkie.com.

Wouldn't be surprised if it went down like that. If Tim is training seriously and in decent shape then he should really win. HUGE 'if' though. Quite an interesting fight actually.Can't believe I'm saying this but I kind of miss Big Tim in relevant MMA.

I could be VERY wrong, but I see Timmay winning this one with that loooonnnnggggg jab of his.I haven't seen either of their fights lately, but I have heard that both have been looking way past their primes.

Fulton is a great citizen.

More interested in these fights than Fedor vs Monson.

I think Rizzo is definitely NOT underrated...I agree, ProElite needs to create some new regional blood/talent if they want to continue to do well.
