Impact FC 2 results

Last night was a delightfully exciting big name Mixed Martial Arts Card taking place in Sydney Australia with many well know Pride, UFC, and Dream veterans.  It was one of those things the MMA elitist fans were drooling over and the card defiantly delivered a wild and exciting thrill ride for us all. The event was packed with all sorts of finishes and only 2 of 10 fights even made it to the third round, and only one to decision.

The first three fights were prelims and were not broadcasted; here are the quick results;

Ken Shamrock fighting for a title?

Ok MMA has taken a page from boxing on this one. Ken Shamrock (27-13-2) is set to come back from his suspension and into the cage March 6th for the International Unlimited Fighting WFO belt. That’s not a typo Ken shamrock, yes the guy who hasn’t won since 2004 (the late Ross Clifton doesn’t count) and has only 2 wins in almost 10 years. This has the feel of a washed up Evander Holyfield fighting for some obscure title all over again. Shamrock should have retired years ago after getting his lights turned out by Rich Franklin in 2005.

Seriously? Liddell vs. Ortiz III

26149_image_53_preview_mediumAs the night closed on the TUF finale Dana White made the announcement of Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz as the TUF season 11 coaches. Do we really need to see a third installment of Liddell vs. Ortiz? I think not, the two faced each other previously at UFC 47 and UFC 66 with Chuck Liddell winning both via TKO. We usually only get trilogieswhen the fighters split the first two or if maybe there is some controversy but there was neither here. Liddell clearly won both fights and there is nothing to warrant this other then shits and giggles. Neither have anything to gain from the fight except maybe Ortiz getting some revenge.

As coaches though I like the idea since both have been there and were good doing it. Liddell was one of the coaches along with Randy Couture for season 1 and Ortiz coached in season 3 along with Ken Shamrock. This guys will work with the fighters and make them a better fighter when the season ends. I can only hope that when the season ends these two will fight as the main event at the finale free on spike.
