This is great. Just yesterday I was telling my friend how dissapointed I am not seeing Rupponen fight more often. He should win this one.

[kainer2]

WAR Jimmy !!!!!!

[kumikala]

Wow they can pull this kind of shows in Slovenia? Boy have I underestimated that country ;)
WAR MIKKO!

[RedHawk]

Pedro better have a good showing here or .........

[kentaro]

looks like a good line-up.

[belko]

Alistair confirmed to me that he will fight there if he has no injuries ;)

[bbbmarc]

Zlatko Mahic - promotor of the event deserves nothing but apraisal, of course that they could be some changes on the card, but i think that most of the big names will be there, me too...

Rizzo vs. Faverus is an exciting but highly peculiar bit of matchmaking.

Faverus stopped being a heavyweight and even competed at 84 kg (and is no longer part of Team Schrijber). Both have a Dutch MT background and it is even possible they trained together back in those days, although I'm not sure about that.

On the other hand Rizzo needs a striker that keeps on coming and that's exactly what Faverus brings so there it starts being exciting.

[ChristophVB]

Cybor'gs coming off of a brutal brutal loss so he will be hungry more than usual, which is pretty hungry imo.

[derUbermensch]

I hear good things about Ruponen, could be good

looks like a good line-up.

WFC 2 > UFC 62

WFC 2 > UFC 62

Bero :(

Chuck - Sobral is 10x better match than any of other matches here.

That's true, but overall this has better line-up than UFC 62.

From www.wfc.si :

"Pedro Rizzo has hurt his knee and he wouldn`t risk on waiting on his recovery. we was hoping that he would get better with the therapy, but It has been 3 weeks already.We did everything we could hoping that Pedro would recover fast, but today he told us he still feel his knee and decided to go to Holland . He told us if it was in the midle to the end of October he would take the fight, but 30 of September is just too soon. he is going to Holland in 3 days to see a specialist. we spoke to another replacement for Rizzo from same team Assuerio Silva, and he is ready to fight ! He is under a contract with the UFC right now."

One would think Rimbon/Overeem would be a strikefest, but Overeem could easily trip-side mount Rimbon anyday of the week
