Updated : Impact FC signings

Well then we might have met as I was at the fight as well when he fought Ferrozzo. Yeah Jackson is a guy somewhat forgotten by MMA fans in general along with Kenny Monday. Both were amazing wrestlers who had an incredible impact on the sport as a whole. Another guy from that time period that doesn't get his credit is Igor Zinoviev. He was a beast, fought John Lober with a separated shoulder going into the match. Which just makes Frank's win over him even more impressive.

I got lucky and did trained at the old Guy Mezger Lions Den gym as a kid, my dad did the legal stuff for Ken, Jerry and some others that night, so if you remember a llawyer with his like 10 year old kid, that was me haha

funny that we were at the only UFC ever in Puerto Rico !

Zinoviev definitely doesnt get credit, mainly because average mma fan know a days dont know what the hell Extreme Fighting was they had Zinoviev and Maurice Smith as champs, and Zinoviev was undefeated with the big win ove Enson and draw with Lober

Speaking of Puerto Rico, do you remember the fight int he Audience with tank Abbott and Alan Goes? the Brazilian guy MArco that was at the heart of that whole fight was just recently killed here in Rio.

damn thats too bad

yes I do remember Tank Abbott being Tank Abbott (a dick), he got suspended for while for that brawl didnt he?

I also remember at UC 12 I tihnk it was when Alex Andrade and Ken Shamrock almost got into it with the Extreme Heavyweight CHamp , it was pretty nutty

Pedro Rizzo fought and defeated Gary Goodridge last night.

damn next up for Rizzo is Ken, I was hoping big daddy could rough Rizzo up so Coleman vs Shamrock would have to happen cause Im worried about Ken vs Rizzo

Ken's in trouble, Bird go fuck up Rizzo so Ken can fight Coleman instead

MMA just might have a Nancy Kerigan moment

hahahah

updated

will be shocked if all of this goes according to plan thinking Monson can go on 8 days rest and RIcco on 15, hoping Filho shows up twice

good luck

Why doesn't Impact try and throw together some tournament to transpire over these events?

That's a lot of fighting to be put together. Filho fighting 3 times in the same month though?

Barnett gets a can?

I don't know anything about him other than what was reported in the initial release. A young impressive prospect, not a can. But not a fight Barnett should take to help his standing in MMA.

No he is borderline can Wolf. I looked him up awhile back to see if he was related to JDS because of the last name when I was bored. Just checked again and he has a win against Assuerio Silva and he has losses to shit fighters. The guy has been training with Machida, but even a great fighter with one eye can't be much help. Sup LA? lol Barnett should kill this dude and I can't believe Shine can't find another fighter besides Geronimo. Honestly I only see a few good fights on the cards. Alot of has beens against turds for the most part. If the no names beat the legit names then Shine might be able to make weight around the world. The shows will still have most of our interest just to see the outcome. I want to see who Daley fights.

You are assuming that these other heavyweights wanted the fight. A fight against Barnett is a dangerous proposition for a heavyweight right now when heavyweights are a commodity in the sport and a loss could derail the plans of a heavyweight who feels he is on the verge of getting into the UFC or Strikforce, also Bellator has their heavyweight tournament coming up and have signed many heavyweight because of that there by taking them out of circulation. Just food for thought.
