not a bad card at all

everything dana white says is a complete lie

When you’ve got reliable fighters like Karo and Paulo on your card(s), nothing can go wrong

Especially when you’re counting on Paulo to fight twice in just over a week. I don’t see how this won’t payoff. It’s the perfect plan.

Whats the odds for Filho showing up to one of the fights?

He's not

At least as far as I know. He fought Manhoef the 1 time in Dream but I watched that event I dont recall anybody saying it was for the Dream MW title.

by bigdmmafan on Jun 4, 2010 4:23 PM EDT up reply actions

Manhoef… If he would just calm down and fight with control he would have beaten Filho/Lawler.

Paulo still carries around his WEC belt, he clearly has mental problems.

he never did lose it did he?

by kanodogg on Jun 4, 2010 4:32 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions

Chael beat him, but Filho didn’t make weight so the commision made it a non tilte bout. Bullshit. If the Champ dosen’t make weight and loses he should forefit the belt.

He and Ed Soares said they’d FedEx the belt to Chael if Paulo lost the fight.

I know he’s not. Just a sarcastic rhetorical question. I don’t what makes these promotions think they can get away with obvious lies like this. Blows my mind.

by kiteonastring on Jun 4, 2010 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions

Yeah wtf… Why not have him fight the REAL dream middleweight champ Mousasi. They have both talked a lot of trash about each other, Mousasi calling Filho a “donkey boy”. That fight is probably too big for Impact FC.

by Nyfeh on Jun 4, 2010 4:37 PM EDT up reply actions

I really hope these cards are broadcast via an online PPV or something. Filho jokes aside, these are some pretty high-quality cards, the Sydney show in particular. Looking forward to the return of Busta.

by exzacht on Jun 4, 2010 4:22 PM EDT reply actions

Expecting Filho and Monson to fight twice in 1 week is a mistake

and not just because Filho is crazy but what happens if 1 or both of them get knocked out or injured?

by bigdmmafan on Jun 4, 2010 4:30 PM EDT reply actions

Monson should be fine...

Win Sergei Kharitonov SUB Dream 8 4/5/2009
Win Sergei Maslobojev SUB CW – Decade 3/29/2009
Win Roy Nelson DEC SRP – March Badness 3/21/2009

The same can’t be said for Filho.

by Taua on Jun 4, 2010 5:41 PM EDT up reply actions

That doesnt mean shit

I understand that he can do it but if he gets ko’d or injures something he is going to have to pull out.

All I will say is hopefully they have someone on back up or if anyone is unable to go still pay the fighters their money.

by bigdmmafan on Jun 4, 2010 5:47 PM EDT up reply actions

Nice cards (dopers & crazies included.) Strange set up, though. They really are expecting Fihlo & Monson to not only show up, but get through their first fight without incident. Very little recovery time if they have a tough 1st one.

by mrclark707 on Jun 4, 2010 4:37 PM EDT reply actions

I didn’t realize Monson was flakey too.

i wanna see someone ktfo barnett

mighty mo was so close and barnett shoulda been dq’d for ball kicks

and im still pissed at the guy for killing affliction which was a horribly run promotion but dammit was it entertaining, ill forever love the guys who thought it was a great idea to put tito as a color commentator, possibly the funniest moment in mma history was titos struggle with the english language that entire card

We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!

I just love how everything always related back to Tito.

maybe impact will be totally awesome and have tito and bas as commentators

who would talk about themselves more? it’d be a struggle between two of the biggest camera whores in mma

Well, he did challenge for the HW title three times…

Anyway, what’s the odds for Filho no-showing both fight?

by Monday Morning Martial Artist on Jun 4, 2010 5:40 PM EDT up reply actions

And lost every time.That doesn’t make you a champion.That would be like ESPN promoting Kenny Florian on MMA Live as a “UFC Champion” because he fought for the belt twice.

Rizzo is going to smash Shamrock that fight shouldnt even be sanctioned.

Also these guys are crazy to expect Filho to show up to two fights in 8 days.

by KOQ24 on Jun 4, 2010 6:40 PM EDT reply actions

It looks awesome

but a bit crazy. Monson and Filho fighting twice in basically one week?

Features a lot of “crossroads” fights:

Karo – Is he clean and in shape?
Filho – Will he even show up?
Rodriguez – Is he back to being a legit contender?
Rizzo – Is he in shape? Does he still have it?
Bustamante – Still have it or Shamrock Syndrome?
Sokoudjou – Will he fold again?
Kang – Will he fold again?

Somebody needs to say it-I fear for Ken Shamrock’s life.This man was knocked out by a jab from Robert “Buzz” Berry,of all people.Now he’s going to go up against one the deadliest strikers in the history of the heavyweight division?

There is no possible way this fight can end well for Ken Shamrock.

I agree Ken will lose, but Pedro is no longer the same dude who deformed Randys’ leg.

These are good cards, with some name guys and interesting match-ups but where is impact going to go after this. They don’t have the local up and coming talent on these cards to develop their own stars that they will need for the long term. They probably should have split these cards up into 3 or 4 cards, and added more young up and coming guys.
