Australia Impact promotion

Re: Australia Impact promotion

According to Jordan Breen

Ken Shamrock is currently in the middle of filming a Christian documentary about his life and career. The triumphant ending is supposed to be his win over Pedro Rizzo, showing what happens when you give yourself over to Christ.

Maybe that relates to the "Jesus Didn't Tap" sponsor logo in the center of the cage.

good find svino

Anything good happen on this card?

I went and watched a local show. Blood and Sand VIII, headlined by TUF 10 loser Justin Wren!! Woo-hooo

It was OK, I guess. Would have been more entertaining if I could have bet on it.

Pros:

• The organizers did a good job of keeping things moving; one fight after another without a lot of gabby downtime.

• The Filho vs. Kang fight, which was probably the most significant on the card, was pretty good if you like watching ground fights. And there will probably be a rematch.

• A judge actually called a relevant 10-10 round.

• Daley vs. Acacio wasn't too bad either, but it might have been a disappointment if you were hoping for Daley to be super-impressive.

Who won?

Wren's a cool guy and I heard he may either be going back to the UFC or going to Japan.

I didnt see every fight . Like svino said they kept shit moving .I liked seeing Shamrock quit.It wasnt great but it wasnt horrible either

Re: Australia Impact promotion

I watched it. For what it was it was a very entertaining card. Even the Super Heavyweight fight was good, especially that figure four armlock at the end. Filho's fight was easily the best fight on the card though.

Thanks. I'm downloading the event now so I'll skip through it.

SPX, Wren won. It was a terrible fight (as most low-level HW fights are). Wren's go-to move was to rush in with punches and clinch along the cage. The other fat guy kept kicking him in the nuts and he took the whole damn 5 minutes one time to recover. Finally at the end of the 2nd Wren managed to take him down and took his back, flattened him out, and choked him out in like 3 seconds, right before the bell.

I can't say he looked great though. He was winning, but this sloppy horrid was tagging him quite a bit.

Thanks. I can't say I'm a big fan of his fighting style, but he's a hell of a nice and down-to-earth guy so I'm glad to see him get the W.

Oh man, Shamrock saying "as long as people keep paying to see me I'll keep gettin beat up" made me a sad panda.

Why does Shamrock suck so badly now? You can't say he was never good. You can maybe say he was never great, but there was an era when he was certainly among the best. He's old now, but it seems he could at least still hang with other old guys.

I want Shamrock/Royce III. Seriously.

You're a sadist man!

It's sad that Ken is a 46 year old pioneer of the sport who should be comfortably retired but is instead broke and in huge debt and has to continue getting his ass beat for meager paydays.

Dude, surely Shamrock could kick Royce's ass. In the 10+ years since their last fight, I would have to believe that Shamrock has figured out how to avoid those same tired submissions and it's not like Royce is going to knock him out.

Besides, that still doesn't explain why Ken sucks so badly now.

Sapp vs. Shammy to see who can verbal tap the fastest?

Because he's fucking old and has been getting beat up for 17 years?

You can forget about that pipe dream btw. Ken is broke and Royce is ridin clean on 24" chrome with gold teeth.

Hey, Ken Shamrock never quits. Unless you kick him in the leg a bunch of times.
