They are Bitetti cards down under
Impact FC is owned by the guy who used to promote Bitetti Combat

he beat 2 guys named sergei with impossible to pronounce russian last names in consecutive weeks by the same submission
damn what are the odds of that
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
quite low
but Sergei Kharitonov, although less active in recent years, had a pretty damn good PRIDE run and is still pretty legit
LOL at Filho making it to 2 fights in 2 weeks, even if they are in the same damn place.
this is washed up, roidhead, headcase central. Monson and Kang are the only somewhat reliable guys on this thing.
and Mike Goldberg wishes he could commentate on the July 10th card just so he could say Keith “The Dean of Mean” Johnson. if you don’t get that reference, there’s no hope for you
maybe one is 2010 and one is 2011???
I would give Filho a 50/50 chance of fighting twice in 2 years, lol.
You're right Mike Goldberg.

Make that 3 fights in 3 weeks for Filho and Monson
according to the event ticket page
This is getting a little ridiculous.
Well, Bellator did not send him his paperwork
because he was too strong. Maybe Paulo is able to fight 3times in 3 weeks.

Honestly, it sounds like Bellator may have dropped the ball with the administrative end of that deal… although Filho’s reasoning is absurd.

i don't care
i want to see all of these fights… well not all, but the obvious ones. is this gonna be a youtube only viewing event? probably on HDNET, fuck comcast.
Boo Comcast!!!!
"It's got to be a lot harder to find holes in Machida's game if your hanging from his nut sack"
where's your comcast?
I get HDnet on comcast in boston.
Use all ten points.
Damn. Monson, Filho, Barnett, Daley, Rizzo, Rodriguez, Rua, Newton, Parisyan, Shamrock, Sokoudjou, Kang….
Either this promoter is spending LOTS of money, or he is smart and getting these former contenders right at the perfect time. About a year ago, to get Parisyan, Filho, Daley and Barnett alone, it would have cost some serious cash. But now that they have all had some type of meltdown, they must be taking a significant pay cut.
You know MMA has come of age...
..when they launch a seniors tour.
What next? Fantasy camp?

We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
this is actually pretty damn awesome
thank god i get hdnet
but this many names in the mma world dont come cheap its prob not a very financailly smart move for impact fc but honestly i dont even remotely care as long as the fights happen
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
Some good fights there
Outside of the top few guys in Strikeforce, these cards are as good as anything outside the UFC.
This is weird.
I feel like this guy is putting on UFC 28, 29 and 30.

I was pumped when I saw these fights!!
but after scrolling down past all the comments I just feel depressed and confused…
