Is Faygas going pro this fight? I have a reat idea for an interview with him

tattooedMailman said:

to my knowledge Kreg Hartle has not signed to fight on this card....yet
April 09, 2008

Rob - Big House/Warriors Collide said:

The plan is for Eric to go pro on this card. We're hoping to have his opponent announced in the next 48 hours. Kreg Hartle is unmatched as of yet, but we're expecting to get him on the card.

tattooedMailman said:

Rob, where are all the pueblo fighters??
April 10, 2008

ChrisZacher said:

I think it is cool that the card IS NOT full of pueblo fighters and actually has people fighting from other states. To me that is a goo dMMA show, that and the people from out of state are not washed up old guys.
April 10, 2008

ChrisZacher said:

and that is nothing against peeps form pueblo, I just like diveristy in my shows.
April 10, 2008

MMAbuzz said:

I really like how I put those head shots in the fightcard.

*pats self on back*

Also, I'm gonna try and do this for each show. If you see any fighters head shots missing please send me them This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Rob- Big House/Warriors Collide said:

Kieth Wilson does all of the matchmaking for the WC shows. I leave everything up to his judgment for that. lol...you really don't want me to have that responsibility - 'cause I would suck at it! I have another show slated for July 19 in Cripple Creek and one last WC show (for 2008) in late August in Pueblo - plenty of time to showcase talent - local, regional, and national. Stay tuned and good luck to all the Pueblo fighters this Saturday.

Mike... can you send me any fighters photos you have for our fight card?!! Thx!
April 10, 2008

staulky said:

yeah but can we leave out the guy doing the splits this time cause that was kind of a buzz kill.yeah good job on the fight card.
April 11, 2008

nasTY said:

Great card- Vellore and Eric both going Pro! There was so much talk about them when they were both at 155 and now 145 and 170 but they both look to be in great shape (and still tap me at will)Donnie/Cruz and Stout/Melendez- I'm stoked! Plus the return of Shorty! Gonna be great! Mike, you should really give us a pickem for this one :)
April 11, 2008

Rob - Big House/Warriors Collide said:

Yeah - I've take a few hits (rightfully so) for the intermission antics on WC2. I had no idea our MC was going to do that. For this show, Mike has offered to juggle bowling balls and ring girls at intermission - should be just as entertaining.
April 11, 2008

MMAbuzz said:

Man, I had no problems with the 'antics'. Buzz was just having fun, can't knock a guy for that. It was much better than most shows that just have dead silence in between fights.

Personally I like how Steve Alley has the fighter interviews before each fight. If you have the time and resources that would be ideal.

I will offer my services for intermission. What kind of "show" will I put on. Well, I was thinking of Royal Rumble/Last Man Standing sort of thing.
Participants:
- Me
- Nasty
- Staulky Pimp
- Ransom
- that guy that did the splits at the last show
- Buzz Corona
- the drunkest guy and girl in the crowd (guy would hands down be Staulky Pimp, so let's just say drunkest girl)

My money's on Staulky Pimp, mainly cause I know that SOB bites..ankles...
April 11, 2008

nasTY said:

Just know you'll be the first one to tap/ be thrown over the cage! Its nice to see Colorado getting so many big name/out of state fighters. Local shows have been getting so much better.

I miss your old avatar, it had more character :)

interviews.hmmm
April 11, 2008

staulky pimp said:

Royal rumble last man standing hell yeah im all in just let me know so that this time i only have 10 beers before intermission and your money should be on me not just because i bite ankles but because i got two hammers for hands. plus ill wear my shonie carter speedo with my over sized cup. now bite that zacher

AndyDANGER said:

Looks like a good card, glad I can be a part of it, only one problem though... you spelt my name wrong, seriously who spells Andrew with a U at the end thats just ridiculous. I mean I am flying out there all the way from sunny Oahu Hawaii and you would think that they would atleast spell the name right. Oh well looks to be a good night of fights and I will be putting Sam Ferrell to sleep that night so it will be fun.

It's AndyDANGER and I'm a one man riot

Rob - Big House/Warriors Collide said:

I'm sorry to report that Shorty was in a motorcycle accident about an hour ago. From what Brandon told me, he's suffered a broken rib cage and has internal bleeding. He is conscience and has movement in his fingers and hands - not sure about his lower extremities yet. I'll update everyone as I learn more information on the situation.

Please keep him in your prayers and thoughts.
April 15, 2008

KPEAZY said:

Damn. I'll definitely be praying for you Shorty. Hope everything is ok.

Diversity in shows is good if you match them up the way they should. Not saying it is but no one likes miss matched fights. Good luck to the fighters.

Im not going to lie.......this is a very good card. great job...I think ill actually come and see it. Good luck
April 16, 2008

Rob - Big House/Warriors Collide said:

Shorty will be released from the hospital tomorrow. He suffered five broken ribs. The internal bleeding has been controlled. They're going to do some final exams on his spine and he should be good to go.

our best wishes go out to you shorty.

Mike- could you put each guys record by their names? It nice to see how they match up- even though some times a good record or bad, can be decieving...

MMAbuzz said:

Fight card has been updated. This should be the final card...barring any last minute changes.
April 18, 2008

ChrisZacher said:

I agree so far, that this is the card of the year in CO.
April 18, 2008

MMAbuzz said:

One thing I appreciate about this fight card is the carefulness of putting together the card. It's not a 'hey..do you have a 170 pounder?'. The matchmaker (Keith) does his due diligence to see what sort of fighter that 170 pounder is and will not throw someone in there to 'get 12 fights'.

As I was told yesterday by a promoter people go to a show and see 'you'. Meaning, you can have a cool website, a cool MySpace page, etc, but if you don't invest in your actual product (the show), well, it's just smoke and mirrors.

Dr. Alex said:

My dish went out of service last night...BAD. But in my insomnia I watched Warriors Collide II DVD (thanks Mike) and was impressed overall. This current card looks great. You never know what is going to happen with great match-ups (i.e. Houston Alexander KO'd in 8 sec at UFC-UFN 13), but should be a great card if you can keep all these fights.

I've just been informed that Justin Eilers is going to be cornering Brandon Shuey.

Who is Justin Eilers? Well he's fought some pretty big names in the UFC (most notably Andre Arloski and Brandon Vera...both losses) and on another promotions (HDNet is the most recent).

Gonna be a good night of fights as well as some recognizable faces in the crowd.
