However, this card is great by "names" only. A lot of these guys just don't have it anymore, possibly including Rampage.

Rampage vs. Lindland could be good, but it could also be a huge borefest. Lindland may lay and pray all night long like he has been known to do. Some people may say Tito is the worst at this, but Lindland takes the cake.

He gets the job done, but that doesn't mean he is fun to watch. And I'm not sure why the UFC protected Rich from Lindland because there is no doubt in my mind Rich would beat him. It would be tough, but Rich could definitely take him. And so could Dan.

I just wish we could get a couple these guys into the UFC. I'd be happy then.

In the end, it is a nice card full of big names for the WFA's first event back. That's really a big step when you think about it. However, it's not a card worthy of throwing down $35 or $40 on.

But a lot of the UFC's aren't either, so take that for what it's worth.
No way in heck I'd pay $40 for that card. Heck it kills me to pay that for a UFC fight. I think the KOTC and WEC events are overpriced as well. The last KOTC fight cost $30. Thats crap...........

I'd like to see $12.95 for the KOTC/WEC events and $24.95 for the UFC/Pride events. Stick the WFA event somewhere in the middle there. $18.95

Pipe Dreams, Pipe Dreams.............

I didn't realize that Bas' last fight was against Kevin Randleman in the UFC way back in 1999.

What the heck happened to the guy? Didn't he win the title in that fight?

Bas vacated the HW title to drop to MW to challenge Shamrock, nagging injuries took him out of the game though he's wanted to compete all the time. He would mention occasionally during a Pride broadcast about how he wanted to fight Sakuraba, or Rickson but nothing ever came of it.

I honestly thought these rumors of Bas' return were going to be like the Gracie vs. Shamrock match but it became official not long after the rumors surfaced. I'm pretty excited myself.

Maybe I read it somewhere, or maybe I'm too smokey, but I thought I heard that this PPV wouldn't be available til sometime well after the event date. Something along the lines of 6 weeks or so...
Anyone know anything on this?

Default World Fighting Alliance Announces Remainder of Fight Card

World Fighting Alliance Announces Remainder of Fight Card for
WFA: King of the Streets On July 22nd

Rising MMA Stars Collide as Mayhem Miller Takes On Former
“Ultimate Fighter” Lodune Sincaid

LOS ANGELES, June 21, 2006 – Today the World Fighting Alliance (WFA) unveiled the remainder of its fight card for the upcoming WFA: King of the Streets national Pay-Per-View event live from the Forum in Los Angeles on July 22nd. Four additional under card bouts were announced today, each featuring names well recognized and respected within the MMA ranks.

Jason “Mayhem” Miller (14-4-0) vs. Lodune Sincaid (9-2-0)
This bout pits two of the sport’s youngest and most over-the-top personalities against one another. After a successful tour of duty building a name for himself in Icon Sport events in Honolulu, the man they call “Mayhem” brings his one-of-a-kind persona to the WFA to face Lodune Sincaid at King of the Streets. Sincaid, best-known for his role on the first season of Spike TV’s “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series, brings a respectable 9-2-0 record into the ring in a bout that will determine which of these rising stars is most poised to take his game to the next level.

Rob McCullough vs. Harris Sarmiento
The man they call “Razor” gets a chance at vengeance as these two face each other for the first time since Sarmiento defeated McCullough two years ago. Since that bout, McCullough’s been a flawless 6-0-0, while Sarmiento’s path has been marked by several defeats. McCullough’s motivation will be for redemption, while Sarmiento knows a victory at WFA: King of the Streets could get his career back on a winning track.

Jorge Oliveira (2-1-0) vs. Marvin Eastman (12-6-0)
This bout features veteran against “up and comer” as the Chute Academy-groomed Oliveira looks to further establish himself in the sport with a victory over MMA veteran Eastman. On July 22nd, Eastman’s sights will be fixed firmly on reclaiming the top-ranked status he once held in the sport, despite the youthful ambitions of Oliveira.

Jose Landi-Jons (21-11-0) vs. TBD
While many North American MMA fans may not be familiar with Landi-Jons, past wins over UFC champion Matt Hughes and Pat Militich should be enough to illustrate the talent and legitimacy of the man many know as “Pele.” The Brazilian submission specialist has 21 career victories and actually has as many victories coming by way of knockout as he does by submission. He looks to etch his name in the minds of North American MMA fans at WFA: King of the Streets.

These four matchups round out an already unparalleled fight card featuring the long-anticipated return of Bas Rutten as he squares off against Kimo, “Rampage” Jackson’s rebirth in North America taking on Matt Lindland, undefeated rising MMA star Lyoto Machida facing Lion’s Den veteran Vernon “Tiger” White, former UFC veteran heavyweights Ricco Rodriguez against Ron Waterman, and Ivan Salaverry taking on Art Santore.

Tickets for “WFA: King of the Streets” at The Forum are available at all Southern California Ticket Master outlets (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernadino and Ventura Counties), online at Ticketmaster.com or charge by phone at (213) 480-3232, (714) 740-2000, (661) 322-2525 or (805) 583-8700. The event will also be shown live on pay-per-view television via iNDemand and Dish Network (check local listings for details).

Anyone know the charge for this one? I'm going to be on vacation but may find somewhere to watch it. I can't find it at all on Dish Network, and InDemand doesn't list a price yet.
