(Rooting against these guys will be easy, but who do you root for in this one?)
United Glory recently announced that it will be putting on a pretty decent eight-man welterweight tournament that will include guys like former BoDog Fight champion Nick "The Goat" Thompson, DREAM 170-pound tournament winner Marius Zaromskis and Roan Carneiro.
Although the line-up is decent, one hypothetical match-up that could materialize may be more intriguing than the fight card itself.
I should have known it was going to be a rough night. Not more than a few minutes into the Impact FC broadcast, ring announcer James White made the first and most obvious of several noticeable blunders, drawing a blank in the middle of his opening addr…
I should have known it was going to be a rough night. Not more than a few minutes into the Impact FC broadcast, ring announcer James White made the first and most obvious of several noticeable blunders, drawing a blank in the middle of his opening address.
It got a laugh and few jeers from the Australian audience, but it was also a sign of things to come for the pay-per-view broadcast. White, like Impact FC itself, served as a useful reminder that this MMA promotion stuff is harder than it looks.
There are two ways of looking at this: 1) Impact FC is still pretty new at broadcasting MMA events, and whatever gives fans more fights to watch and fighters more chances to get paid is always a good thing, or 2) What makes these jokers think they deserve $30 for a show that looks like something you’d see on late-night public access TV?
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.

Released from the UFC for a late punch against Josh Koscheck, Daley brings his explosive hands to the land down under against Brazilian striker Acacio.

At some point this weekend, Paul Daley is going to have to look around at the company he’s keeping in Australia and ask himself some tough questions.
Who knows, maybe he already has.
Maybe when he sat down for the pre-fight press conference and looked around to see himself surrounded by aging ex-champions and noted MMA misfits of every stripe, perhaps that’s when it started to sink in that he had found himself in a sort of MMA purgatory.
Daley already knows why he’s on the Impact FC card in Sydney this Saturday and not in the UFC. We all do. After losing a decision to Josh Koscheck at UFC 113, he threw what may have been the most notorious and yet least damaging punch in UFC history. Least damaging to the recipient, anyway.

As if you needed any reminder. For whatever reason – probably psychologically rooted in our inability to look away from the scene of a car crash – the MMA media has covered the shit out of Impact FC’s rapid fire debuts in Australia during the last couple of weeks. Last Friday’s show – in which Josh Barnett crushed some can named Geronimo Something-or-other — was just a subtle aperitif before tonight’s main course, which is available on pay-per-view for all to see, beginning at 10 p.m. EST/7 p.m. PST.
Look, we’re not going to beat around the bush here. Impact FC needs you to buy this card. For evidence, look no further than the promotion’s refusal this week to buy Bob Sapp a plane ticket from Bulgaria to Sydney because it allegedly couldn’t afford it. If true, that’s not the mark of a cash-rich business, people.
