Ya Evander is more in the Rizzo category than the Shamrock category if he had to say he was like either of the fighters last night.

Shammy didn't look too bad until he got legged kicked to death. I think he could still compete with Coleman.

Wolfy I finally understand obsession with prehistoric creatures, you were the little kid at the beginning of Jurassic Park who mocked Raptors.

Not to mention his wife has a grill like a T-Rex!

That kid was a huge fat ass. I doubt I weighed as much as he did when I was a freshmen in highschool. I always thought that kid was a faggot. I've loved nature and predators since I could change the channel.

If a fighter travels to Australia to compete on a pay-per-view that's being headlined by Ken Shamrock vs. Pedro Rizzo, the chances are pretty good that they did it because they needed the money.

And it the unfortunately case of Impact FC, they may not get it.

Cage Potato reveals that most, if not all of the combatants who participated on the Impact FC fight cards on July 10 (Brisbane) and July 18 (Sydney) are not in receipt of their complete fight purses.

Karo Parisyan, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Jesse Taylor have since confirmed the report.

And it may come as a complete shock (not really) that the failure to compensate said fighters stems from a lack of communication/cooperation between the financial backer and the MMA promoter.



First up is Impact FC financial backer Andrew McManus, as he throws promoter Tom Huggins under the bus:

“[Tom] Huggins has run back to Brazil and is uncontactable, whilst I (who never negotiated, contracted or was a party to any deal) have now been left trying to find funds to pay the men whilst all the false promises of sponsorships (never happened) and late gate sales and walk up all turned out to be lies.”

Huggins, naturally, didn't appreciate the accusations (or the tire marks):

“That statement is categorically untrue. I can provide you with the agreement between Andrew and myself, which clearly demonstrates that my responsibility was to procure fighters and make matches for the event within a given budget. The agreement clearly shows that ALL of the financing for the events, including fighter purses, was the responsibility of McManus. That being said, I feel that at the end of the day McManus being the professional that he is will fulfill his obligations and that the fighters will be paid.”

There's much more to the story over at Cage Potato but in the end there is really only one thing that matters: A group of fighters who are trying to make a living traveled to Australia to compete. They held up their end of the bargain and now it's time for someone at Impact FC to hold up theirs.

I hope bird does not read this but coleman would beat the shit out of ken. Im sorry but wathcing ken fight and train the last few years makes me think I should get out there and fight. Ken is as slow as a 60 year old man.

the only chance Ken has against COleman is a sub off his back which was never Kens strong point

I think its safe to say Kens knees are so fucked up he cant even shoot anymore hence the fact he hasnt shot in about 5 years

Bob Sapp said they were shady promoters about a week before the card and they werent going to pay. Sapp called it.
