If this is a cheap PPV I’ll get it. This is actually a well matched card for anyone who in general like fights, reagardless of the relevance of the rankings.

Not bad card IMO.
Thales looked very sharp against Jessie Taylor in the MFC.
Good for Jens.

Their iconography is rather "classic-UFC"-esque

But that’s cool. Looks like an interesting card as well.

except the guy in this logo has better tits than the “ulti-man” from the early ufc logo’s

The hand holding the “World Championship MMA Matches” Belts should have been a 4-ounce glove rather than a boxing glove.

Cool card. This will actually show where Big Tim’s skills are at the moment.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

I’d watch it.

Looks like an MFC card ... and a pretty good one at that.

Buentello KOs Sylvia completely invalidating all of Fedor's post-PRIDE opponents to date.

I’m calling it now.

Nah, Buentello is the exact kind of opponent that Big Tim thrives on. All power strikes, but a shorter reach and not oustanding cardio. Sylvia should out jab and out clinch him to a decision victory.

Buentello couldn’t even KO Struve. He doesn’t have that one-big-shot power that seems to give Tim trouble. Tim will win a decision here very that looks a lot like his fight vs. Vera I think – lots of making Buentello carry his weight on the cage and some limited punching.

by EvilScott on Jun 25, 2010 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions

Tim is shot, Buentello is going to find a home for his big right hand and down will go Timmy once again.

Interesting...

This is my neck of the woods, and we usually don’t get the “big” regional type cards like this. If the tickets are cheap, I might go. That venue is pretty decent.
