This is the War on the Mainland live blog for Tim Sylvia vs. Paul Buentello, the main event of tonight’s Powerhouse World Promotions pay-per-view at the Bren Events Center in Irvine, Calif.
Sylvia and Buentello were two top UFC heavyweights in the mid-2000s and haven’t crossed paths until now.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia earned his most significant victory in almost three years Saturday night, defeating Paul Buentello on the War on the Mainland card in Irvine, California.
In the first round Sylvia was getting the better of the punching exchanges and forcing Buentello into corners, where Buentello would tie Sylvia up. Buentello’s tendency to hold onto Sylvia led referee Big John McCarthy to separate the fighters on three different occasions in the first round, a round that Sylvia definitely won.

It’s tough to know what to make of Moosin. Earlier this week, the upstart MMA organization was eyeing a bout between “World’s Strongest Man” Mariusz Pudzianowski and former internet brawler Kimbo Slice for their fall event. Then the very next day the company sent out a press release wherein the “face” of the company, Eric “Butterbean” Esch, harshly criticized the Polish strongman’s fighting abilities.
“I know he allegedly broke his foot in the fight against [Tim] Sylvia,” Butterbean is quoted as saying about Pudzianowski, “but he didn’t show anything before he quit.”
It only gets more out of hand from there, as Esch insists that Pudzianowski punches “like a girl,” and says he needs to prove himself before he gets another big fight with Moosin.
Fun stuff for a press release, but what gives? Is any of this for real, or are Moosin and Butterbean working an angle? To find out, I called up the Bean himself to try and get some straight answers.

It didn’t take long for Moosin USA promoter Eric "Butterbean" Esch to go into damage control when he saw his potential October 9 main event slip through his fingertips.
A day after Sherdog’s Loretta Hunt quashed Moosin executive Corey Fischer’s claim in a report by MMAFighting that the promotion was finalizing a marquee bout between Kimbo Slice and Mariusz Pudzianowski for the planned Chicago show, Butterbean has spun the situation in a press release sent out by the organization earlier today.

After a successful U.S. debut earlier in the year, the Moosin promotion is scheduling an Oct. 9 follow-up, which will take place in Chicago, MMA Fighting has learned.
Moosin executive Corey Fischer has confirmed the organization’s intention for a second show, and said the current plans include bringing back previous headliners Tim Sylvia and Mariusz Pudzianowski, in separate fights.
If Moosin gets their way, they’ll come to the Second City with Sylvia fighting 7-foot-2 Korean Hong Man Choi, and five-time “World’s Strongest Man” Pudzianowski taking on popular former EliteXC and UFC star Kimbo Slice in feature bouts.

Jens Pulver said in May that he doesn’t have a choice; he’s got to fight. Released by Zuffa last month following his fifth straight WEC loss, it didn’t take Pulver long to find his next match.
Pulver (22-13-1), the first UFC lightweight champion, will face Diego Garijo (4-1) on the War on the Mainland debut event Aug. 14 in Irvine, Calif.
Pulver will try to have his hand raised for the first time since beating Cub Swanson in his WEC debut at WEC 31 in December 2007. Since then, losses to Urijah Faber (twice), Leonard Garcia, Josh Grispi and Javier Vazquez chased him from the WEC. His last four losses have been in the first round with three straight by submission. Pulver is one of just two fighters to beat former UFC lightweight champion BJ Penn at 155 pounds. The other is Frankie Edgar, who beat Penn for the title in April.
The main event features another former UFC champion, Tim Sylvia, against former UFC, Strikeforce and Affliction heavyweight Paul Buentello. Sylvia will be fighting for the first time since submitting five-time World’s Strongest Man winner Mariusz Pudzianowski with strikes at a Moosin event in Massachusetts last month.
