Pedro Rizzo beat Ken Shamrock in the second edition of the show
Impact FC held the first two editions of the event in July in Australia with cards full of renowned fighters such as Ken Shamrock, Pedro Rizzo, Paul Philo and Paul Daley, but according to a report from the American website Cage Potato, the organization is experiencing serious financial problems. According to the article published this Friday, the promotion did not fully pay off the scholarships of the fighters who performed at the shows held on July 10th and 18th, in the cities of Brisbane and Sydney, respectively.
Armenian Karo Parisyan, Cameroonian Thierry Sokoudjou and American Jesse Taylor confirmed the information, however, Tom Huggins, one of the event organizers, denied the news through an official statement.
“This statement is categorically false. My responsibility is to organize the event and the sponsor of the show was (Andrew) McManus (promotion partner). I think that because of the professional that McManus is, all fighters will be paid.”
In both editions of Impact FC, several Brazilians were in action. At the Brisbane event, Thiago Minu, Bira Lima, Joaquim “Mamute” and Gerônimo Mondragon, and at the show in Sydney, performed Glover Teixeira, Murilo Bustamante, Murilo Ninja, Paul Philo, Daniel Acácio and Pedro Rizzo.
The third edition of Impact FC was scheduled to take place in Brazil, with no date set yet.
