Impact FC staged another "Uprising" late Saturday night/early Sunday morning when it brought a cast of MMA notables to its July 18 pay-per-view from the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Sydney, Australia.
Leading the charge "Down Under" was former UFC and PRIDE heavyweight Pedro Rizzo, bagging and tagging Ken Shamrock with little-to-no resistance.
People may find it kind of sad that Shamrock still competes well into his forties despite losing eight of his last ten bouts, but what's really sad is that after 17 years in the fight game, "The World's Most Endangered Man" is incapable of checking a leg kick.
"The Rock" coasted to a first round TKO -- and barely broke a sweat in the process.
Speaking of sweaty Brazilians, Paulo Filho put his weigh-in troubles behind him to face off against Denis Kang. Unfortunately the results were inconclusive as the fight ended in a split draw after three rounds of back-and-forth action.
UFC exile Paul Daley got back into the win column with a TKO victory over a very game Daniel Acacio. "Semtex" sliced his way to a verbal tap out in the third round after landing a nasty elbow from the Brazilian's guard.
In other action, Murilo "Ninja" Rua took a submission win over Jeremy May, Jesse Taylor forced Murilo Bustamante to call it quits and Glover Teixeira lit up Marko Peseli for a first round TKO stoppage.

I would rather
go to a Hook N Shoot event in Evansville, IN then watch this show again.

Jesse Taylor? Impressive victory over a long ago contender. Still, Taylor wins.
Making a difference.
Either that or he pee'd on himself in the cage
and Busta refused to engage and risk getting JT’s pee on him.

why is ninja rua not in the ufc?
Please don't ever let Carwin fight Big Nog! It would result in death
Can't decide who I hate more, Penn or Edgar
I've wondered this myself...
You’d think with Shogun being the LHW Champ he could put a good word in for his brother.
That said, I don’t think Ninja would make much noise in the UFC’s MW Division.
Arlovski : Kang : GSP : Rampage : Lytle : Huerta : Quarry : Serra : Wandy : Pulver : Alvarez
true but there are still some interesting fights for him there. Better than the cans he has been facing in Brazil

Agree
Also if you look at some of the guys he’s lose to Henderson,Arona and Jackson, all these guy have big names in mma there no shame in getting beat by any of them. Not to mention he arguably won the Jackson fight. I say give him a shot in the UFC. Hell even if he loses to the best guy in the division he would make a good gate keeper.
Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them.

True.
I say bring him over to the UFC.
But there’s no way he’d get as much success as his brother. With the recent health problems he’s had, and his questionable chin, I don’t think he’d be in the UFC for long, although he’d give us some awesome fights whilst there.
Arlovski : Kang : GSP : Rampage : Lytle : Huerta : Quarry : Serra : Wandy : Pulver : Alvarez
agreed
i wouldn’t even mind seeing him in strikeforce, as long as he is somewhere better than he is now and has better opponents to face

Ninja first of all has been on a slow but bad decline.
Also when Kharitonov fucked him up, he got a brain bleed after that fight. That’s why he went down all weird in that fight. He’s had two brain surgeries since and simply has not been OK since. He is not fit to fight at a high level or worth it for the UFC to take that risk. Right now also, you hear people in know saying the man can barely talk normal.

decent fights
but man that announcing and commentary was horrilble. made you want to watch with the sound off. really unproffesional looking event but some alright fights.
My Thoughts Exactly
Commentary wasn’t too good, camera work was HORRIBLE! I mean MULTIPLE TIMES you missed a big hit or slam because they had a bad angle. The fights themselves were entertaining enough, all the verbal tapouts show you why these aren’t UFC guys anymore.
Give a man to fish and feed him for a day. Kick his stupid ass and maybe he will leave you alone.
verbal tapout
to leg kicks, come on Shammy, even for you this was a bad loss.
" Its a good thing you look good in that suit, cos that's all you're gonna be doing - wearing a suit."
wow!!! richie vas was awesome. Come on Aussies!!!!
By the way, shammy looked pretty small. And JT money has awesome personality. Nothing like the Ultimate Fighter which made him look like a douche. Bring another card to Australia please UFC.
hahaha wtf submission retirement ?
Leg kicks are the most underrated weapon in MMA

Oh Graham you fool..
I know he’s a kickboxer but come on, get atleast some sort of submission defense PLEASE.

I would think that going 1-5 will all sub losses would tell him that he needs it.

His ground game still needs major improvements
but damn does Daley throw some bombs
yeah, sort of frustrating that he went and threw that punch...he would have had some other good fights win or lose.
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
agreed
