TIM “The Maine-iac” SILVA:

“I don’t know how to follow Matt’s speech (see below). I was laughing the whole time. I’m feeling great. I’m stoked to fight Paul. We go way back. We were supposed to fight a couple of times. We’ve both had hiccups. I’m sorry for Pedro (Rizzo). At first, I was supposed to fight him, but there was a change. Maybe he can fight the winner. (Powerhouse CEO Brian Manna later announced that Rizzo would be fighting on the next Powerhouse card.) This is a great card, an awesome show. I go way back with Lambert and Jens. I’m the godfather of Jen’s son. The only problem with fighting in the main event is I can’t watch these other guys fight. I did buy the pay per view and I’m Tivo-ing it. I’ve gone through a lot of changes. I kind of had a 2-year layoff and I’ve been working more on my Jiu Jitsu. Don’t be surprised to see my ground game in this fight.”



PAUL “The Headhunter” BUENTELLO:

“It’s a crazy card. I’m glad to be here. Powerhouse called and asked if I wanted a job. I said I was ready to fight. This fight was supposed to happen before. Tim’s been around a long time and I think he’s still at his best. He knows how to win and I’m glad to be fighting him. I’m up for the challenge and I know he is, too. I’m going for it. It’s going to be a great fight.”



JASON “The Punisher” LAMBERT:

“I’ve been around awhile, like Jens said, back when nobody knew what it (MMA) was all about. I’d say I had a fight coming up and people would ask if I boxed. Now everybody knows and every kid I see is wearing a Tapout shirt. It’s crazy how far this sport has come. I’ve trained my butt off to put on a good show. I’m going for a highlight reel, win or lose. I’m always looking to finish. Hopefully, my opponent (Tony Lopez) comes in good shape for us to put on a great show.”



THALES LEITES:

“I’m very happy to be here and very proud to be part of the team – the first Powerhouse show. I had a great training camp and I’m at 100-percent capacity.”



MATT “The Fighting Hippy” HORWICH:

“It’s a beautiful universe; surfing gods infinitely accelerating current of creativity, flowing one submission to the next, or one combo to the next, is like flowing one cord of note to the next in music, or one sub-atomic particle to the next in string theory. I’m stoked for this opportunity. Thank God for everything. Thanks so much.”



JENS “Little Evil” PULVER:

“It’s cool to be on this card. I love to see this is the beginning with this show. I’ve been around a long time when there were other beginnings. No names. I’ve gone through bumps and bruises, highs and lows, but in the end I love this sport and this is my family. Everybody knows I’m always going out there to throw-down. Only one thing, if I’m not crying, I’m trying. I have to go out there and shake-off the rust.

“Nobody has had to wake me up with smelling salts, seven minutes later, and I haven’t torn anything. I’m only 34. I’ve been getting caught in arm bars…..that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. How can I become a complete fighter? I’m working on categorizing. I’m never really going to retire…no watch, just ride off into the sunset. Maybe you’ll see me someday at Walmart.”

Sylvia-Buentello headlines one of 3 PWP Title fights Aug. 14 in Irvine, CA


SAN DIEGO (Aug. 5, 2010) – The August 14th “War on the Mainland” Pay-Per-View
event, showcasing three Powerhouse World Promotions (PWP) LLC title fights,
will feature a world-class announcing team, PWP CESO Brian Manna announced
today.

Bas Rutten, one of the most recognizable figures in mixed martial arts, will
be the color commentator/ring interviewer, joining blow-by-blow announcer Benny
Ricardo in the television booth. “Classy” Jimmy Lennon, Jr. will serve as the
ring announcer.

“We’ve put together one of the best MMA announcing teams in this business,
along with one of the all-time great ring announcers,” Manna noted. “It was
very important for us to have the best announcers working our first pay-per-view
show. We couldn’t be happier or prouder to have these legends working together
on our ‘War on the Mainland’ show.”

Two-time UFC heavyweight champion Tim “Maine-iac” Sylvia takes on former UFC
and Strikeforce title challenger Paul“The Headhunter” Buentello in the main
event for the vacant PWP Heavyweight Championship, live from Bren Events Center
in Irvine, California.

“War on the Mainland,” presented by Powerhouse World Promotions, is being distributed
by Integrated Sports Media at 10:00PM ET/7:00PM PT in North America on cable
and satellite Pay-Per-View via iN Demand, DIRECTV, Avail-TVN and DISH Network,
as well as Viewer’s Choice, Bell TV and Shaw PPV in Canada, for a suggested
retail price of only $29.95. It will also be available in the United Kingdom
via Primetime Live. The PPV card will also be streamed live on Internet PPV
outside of the United States, Canada and United Kingdom by going to
http://www.WarontheMainland.com.

Rutten, a former Dutch MMA and kick boxer, was a UFC heavyweight champion,
as well as 3-time King of Pancrase world titlist. He is co-host of the popular
Inside MMA show on HDNet.

“I always like working great MMA shows like this one,” Rutten said. “I love
Paul Buentello. He is a top striker. Believe it or not, Tim Sylvia has improved
in the last half-year. He came to my gym for two days to train and he kept
dropping everybody. This is going to be a great fight and we all know it isn’t
going the distance.”

Ricardo was an NFL place-kicker for nine years. Today, he is a stand-up comic
who has broadcasted major worldwide sporting events like the Super Bowl and
Wimbledon many years for Spanish television and radio stations. Benny crossed
over to MMA a few years ago and he has worked numerous MMA PPV shows in North
America.

“I’m looking forward to working with Benny,” Rutten added. “I can’t wait to
talk to him before the show because he must have a lot of interesting stories
to tell with his background in sports. He has successfully made the transition
to MMA and we’re going to have some fun working this show.”

In the co-main event, former WEC titlist Jason “The Punisher” Lambert (25-11-0)
meets 8-time World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champion Allan Goes (17-3-0) for the
vacant PWP Light Heavyweight title belt.

In the third of three PWP title fights on the card (5 X 5, all other fights
are 3 X 5), former IFL middleweight champion Matt “The Fighting Hippy” Horwich
(22-13-1) faces former UFC title challenger Thales Leite (17-3-1) for the PWP
middleweight crown.

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens “Little Evil” Pulver (22-13-1) meets Diego
“El Nino” Garijo (4-1-0) in a Special Lightweight Attraction. “Jens Pulver
started fighting on a show I had – the Bas Rutten Invitational,” Rutten added.
“It was a 32-man tournament and Pulver fought four guys in one night. It was
crazy. I knew back then that he was talented and went all the way. He still
has knockout power. I think he has to focus more. In his last fight, he got
out of an arm bar a few times but then he got caught. He just needs to focus
more.”

Also fighting on “War on the Mainland” is Brazilian middleweight Gustavo “Ximu”
Machado (18-8-1) vs. Rick Reeves (10-3-0) and Mexican welterweight Jorge “The
Naked Man” Ortiz (16-5-1) vs. veteran Terry Martin(19-8-0).

Undercard fights featuring local fighters include lightweights Joao Silva (3-2-0)
vs. Erin Beach (1-0-0), lightweights Cleber Luciano (3-3-0) vs. Todd Willingham
(2-4-2), welterweights A.J. Mathews (3-0-0) vs. Sean Choice (1-0-0), and pro-debuting
lightweights Evan Aitkins vs. Chad McCausland. All fights and fighters are
