Fightcard for CFC #4

by Ronnie Liddle on May 4, 2008 9:25 AM EDT

This update from Australia promoted by Kid Nate. Thanks for the news from Downunder, Ronnie!

The people at CFC have announced their fightcard for the upcoming promotion on May the 23rd with a somewhat interesting line-up. Recent EliteXC signee, Hector Lombard and Kyle Noke will be fighting separate opponents on the same night. Interesting because I would have thought EliteXC would have wanted Lombard on one of their fightcards ASAP instead of `risking' him with another promotion. Also, Noke fighting Downunder too? Has his contract expired (and not been renewed) or are we starting to see a sort of cross promotion co-operation between EliteXC and CFC in the beginning stages?

Nice to see Lombard is not doing a cut-and-run with his fans Downunder. Thanks Hector.

Full Card below.

Josh Payne vs Kevin Croke

Kian Pham vs Matt Wilkin

Andy Kappas vs Urosh Pavicevic

Clint Joyce vs Priscus Fogagnolo

Bernado Trekko vs Denis Kelly

Anthony Perosh vs Emmerson Rushing

Kyle Noke vs Carlo La Torre

Brian Ebersole vs Wade Henderson

Shane Nix vs Xavier Lucas

Hector Lombard vs Fabiano Capoani

Bit of background - Priscus Fogagnolo trailed for the Beijing Games (in Judo) but lost in the final to Daniel Kelly. Priscus is an ex powerlifter... never seen him throw a punch but yep, my tip is to watch for Priscus in the future.

Re: Fightcard for CFC #4

Good to see some Australian MMA getting some blogerage.

CFC 3 would have been good if it wasn't for the douche bag commentators. I seriously could do a better job. Please contact me Fox Sports if you are reading this, because the current commentators you have remove all enjoyment.

Lombard had his dirty dirty way with Yunker at CFC 3. The guy is psycho, so it will be cool to see him again. Noke has the potential to make some waves in the middleweight division, he just needs to be a bit more careful. Perosh unfortunately looked terrible in his last outing. His stand up is scarily bad. I'll put it like this, Perosh's stand up is so bad that Koji Oishi sits at home watching it and says, "damn, thats bad".

Overall it's another decent card, provided you see it live or you watch it on mute. CFC is definitley Australia's best promotion.

Re: Fightcard for CFC #4

I'm not sure if the CFC or FOX 'supplies' the commentators for their coverage but the fans deserve commentator(s) that can tell the difference between a single and a double, an open guard and a closed guard etc. To not supply 'this must' will kill off the local market with fans saying - how professional can these guys be with commentator(s) so ill informed?

Rematch between Noke and Lombard anyone?

Re: Fightcard for CFC #4

That would be pretty awesome if they had a rematch but I doubt EliteXC would like it too much.

Re: Fightcard for CFC #4

I thought that I was fighting Anthony Perosh... I'm kind of pissed. This is a crappy way to get news. But if what Scupitt is saying is true about his standup, that is probably why they aren't flying me out there. It just sucks to be out of the loop.

Re: Fightcard for CFC #4

Sorry to give you the bad news, mate. The CFC guys should told you themselves. Poor form to find out via some blogger. That said, I wouldn't put all the faith in the world in their website/prelim fightcards So maybe they got it wrong.

CFC 2 - Priscus didn't fight after they said he would on their prelim fightcard. No explanation, no nothing as to why he was off the final card.

CFC 3 - Yunker was a last minute replacement to fight Lombard because the original guy couldn't make it into the country.

So maybe, just maybe, you should be speaking to your agent or the promoters yourself, ask them: What is going on?
