Impact FC is back for the second time this month with part two of their mixed martial arts debut "Down Under" featuring a collection of former UFC and PRIDE veterans set to throw hands on July 18 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Sydney, Australia.
All fighters set to compete on this weekend's "Uprising 2" card made their respective weights, and far as shenanigans go, Paulo Filho did not disappoint.
As Jordan Breen reports from Sydney, the maligned middleweight enigma, looking "gaunt and sucked out," missed weight on his first attempt -- which didn't come until 20 minutes after the last fighter weighed in.
After an hour long trip back to the sauna, a depleted "Ely" returned to the scale in his birthday suit. He clocked in at 186, but there's no telling what his condition may be for tomorrow's contest against Denis Kang.

I feel like kang could read the scale from the other side of the towel……..or take the commissions word for it…
Paulo thinks his nuts are talking to him again.

HAHAHA!!!
That’s exactly what I thought. Rizzo is probably thinking the same thing.

BJ is going to be back in Cali training and Marv is back! Bad news for Frankie. I will be betting the house.
Unlike Randy Couture's,
Chuck’s style is not suited for a long career. It should have ended years ago but Couture who is six years older can still go a couple more. The era of careless brawlers is over. If BJ doesn’t incorporate takedowns in his game, I fear he might meet the same fate.
Remember when I asked if BJ could and would take Edgar down before their first fight?
That was your answer back then:
BJ doesnt need to take him down
But if he wants to he will.
Open up the Shit Gates and God Bless Marv

Would you answer the same today?
The only real possession you'll ever have is your character. — Tom Wolfe
yes,
BJ is a much better boxer and he did win the first 3 rounds comfortably in my book last time around. Chuck Liddell was a brawler, BJ is far from it.
Come at me bro!
Different fighters no doubt.
It’s my personal belief that Penn’s BJJ skills outweighs Frankie’s ground game a lot more than Penn’s boxing skills outweighs Frankie’s boxing. in fact, I wouldn’t grade Edgar’s boxing skills much lower than Penn’s. Edgar has better footwork hence the difficulty to connect and take down.
Don’t write Edgar off again in this upcoming rematch I would advise. I’ll say the exact same thing I said prior to their first fight, BJ needs to catch him and use advantage of superior BJJ and size and forget about the prideful desire to prove he is a better boxer by trying to KO Edgar. Knock out artists as we see with Chuck and so many others, just can’t last past their prime and Penn is certainly approaching that line considering his long history of poor conditioning.
If he’s smart, he will do to Edgar exactly what GSP did to him. Attack the weakest part of the enemy line, win the fight and let haters hate.
Edgar is ready for BJ’s boxing any day of the week.

damn pretty impressive card
regardless of the has-beens and washouts… this is still a nice lineup imo
Does Paulo not have any family that can help him out? For christ sake the guy has been messed for years now, does he not have anyone that actually cares about him enough to get him the help he needs and stop him from taking fights he has no business being in.
Don't Worry
Dennis Kang always finds a way to lose.

Great card
That card looks insanely good. Who says only the UFC has good fights? Shamrock, Rizzo, Bustamente, Filho and Ninja all on the same card? It’s almost like being back in PRIDE.
My guide says 10 pm eastern time on PPV.
Brock Lesnar is the #1 P4P fighter in the world. My top 5 P4P list is.
1 Brock Lesnar
2 BJ Penn
3 John Fitch
4 Matt Hughes
5 Matt Serra
wow
If strikeforce got together with Impact FC like they have with dream, they could have an AMAZING 185 lb tournament.
Paulo Filho
Denis Kang
Murilo Rua
Jeremy May
Murilo Bustamante
Jesse Taylor
thrown in with
Dan Henderson
Mayhem Miller
Nick Diaz
Jacare Souza
Cung Le
Robbie Lawler
and Tim Kennedy.
plus 3 more and youve got a 16 man bracket.
shamrock

Well...
I wouldn’t go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What’s he gonna do? He’s Samoan.

Soa was originally fighting Bob Sapp
It was probably going to be at superheavyweight.

impact
fights were okay, couple of good back and forth fights that went to decision, couple other good finishes, but most were not that interesting. shamrock looked horrible, i am by no means an athlete but my granny’s legs looked bigger than shamrocks.
announcers
the color commentary was horrible i had to watch with the sound off, and the ring announcer was even worse. he totally forgot someones name at the start of the show
