This is the Impact FC 2 live blog for Paulo Filho vs. Denis Kang, a middleweight bout on tonight’s The Uprising pay-per-view from Sydney, Australia.
FIlho, formerly the No. 2 middleweight in the world, looks to slowly climb back up the ranks by taking on UFC veteran Kang.

Things change pretty damn fast in the world of MMA- one moment you’re being heralded as a welterweight contender in the UFC, the next you’re getting canned for sucker punching a dude with hair you described as ‘fraggle-ish’. Now just who could we be talking about? There’s just so many guys who’ve been involved in […]
Things change pretty damn fast in the world of MMA- one moment you’re being heralded as a welterweight contender in the UFC, the next you’re getting canned for sucker punching a dude with hair you described as ‘fraggle-ish’. Now just who could we be talking about? There’s just so many guys who’ve been involved in that scenario…
Now that you’re done rolling your eyes, we’ll move on to the latest news regarding ex-UFC welterweight Paul “Semtex” Daley, who fought Daniel Acacio on Impact FC’s second show last night in Sydney, Australia. No, Daley didn’t sh-t the bed as you may or may not have been hoping for; in the third round he opened up a large gash on Acacio’s head with an elbow, and after several follow up G-N-P strikes the Brazilian verbally tapped. If you think this means you might see Daley back in the UFC anytime soon…we’re thinking you might want to rethink that conclusion.
Just like Impact’s first event last week, this card also featured several notable fighters; yes even if some of them are no longer fighting under the big Zuffa lights. Case in point- accomplished middleweights Denis Kang and Paulo Filho fought to a split draw, while “Shogun” Rua’s brother Murlio “Ninja” Rua, tapped out Jeremy May with a first round guillotine choke.
In the card’s main event, Ken Shamrock demonstrated rather effectively that he couldn’t check Pedro Rizzo’s leg kicks, and was stopped by the heavyweight in the first round.

If you can imagine a fight card populated by has-beens and no-accounts, filmed by the blind and narrated by the guys from “Flight of the Conchords” (except without the genuinely funny parts), then you have a pretty good idea what it was like to watch Impact FC’s first-ever pay-per-view on Saturday night. “The Uprising” was filled with plenty of the awkward pauses, even more awkward announcing, terrible camera work and retro graphics that we’ve come to expect from fledgling MMA promotions. As for the actual fighting? It played out about like you might have predicted, too.
Indeed when, just a few moments into the broadcast, nattily attired but totally incompetent ring announcer James White forgot his lines midway through his introductory remarks and had to stop cold to confess he’d drawn a blank, you knew it was going to be a long night. Despite how many times we were informed by the play-by-play team that the action in the cage was “thunderous” or “amazing” the show – filmed around noon local time in Sydney, Australia in a partially filled arena — felt so flat that the fighters themselves would’ve been hard-pressed to break the monotony. Luckily for them, it didn’t seem like they were trying too hard.

If Pedro Rizzo‘s performance against Ken Shamrock at Impact FC proved anything, it’s that even when the other skills start to atrophy, leg kicks are the last to go.
The 36-year-old Brazilian spent the first few minutes feeling his opponent out with his jab, then used his heavy right leg to batter Shamrock’s thigh in the opening round of their main event fight in Sydney, Australia.
While it usually takes time for the damage from leg kicks to accumulate, it only took a few of Rizzo’s slicing shots before Shamrock was left hobbled and helpless, forcing referee “Big” John McCarthy to stop the bout at 3:33 of the first round after the wounded Shamrock offered no response to a few perfunctory punches from a reluctant Rizzo.

(Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with Paulo Filho’s next tattoo)?
When the upstart Impact Fighting Championships organization announced it would be putting on a series of events in Australia anchored by a cast of controversial WEC, PRIDE and UFC castaways like Karo Parisyan, Ricco Rodriguez, Paulo Filho, Ken Shamrock, Paul Daley and Jesse Taylor, Ben and I figuratively high-fived each other in anticipation of the sheer amount of material for the site the event would undoubtedly produce.??
The fact that the first show basically went off without a hitch would have lost us both money if we trusted our predictions enough to bet that there would be problems with the show.??

(Ironically, this is the most non-crazy tattoo Paulo has.)
Realizing that chronically unreliable personal demon chaser Paulo Filho will do well to make it to one of his scheduled July Impact Fighting Championship bouts, the Australia Athletic Commission has disallowed the Brazilian from competing on both the July 10 and July 18 cards as planned.
Graciemag announced the news we have all been predicting today.
Filho (20-1), who was originally also slated to fight at Impact FC’s scrapped July 3 event in Perth, takes on K-1 Heroes, PRIDE and UFC veteran Denis Kang (32-12-1, 2 NC) on July 18 in Sydney if he makes it to the show.
