The Headhunter faces a tall order at UFC 107

By Neil Davidson, THE CANADIAN PRESS
Dec. 8, 2009

The UFC heavyweight division promises to get a little more entertaining Saturday night when Paul Buentello returns to the fold.

The 35-year-old from Austin, Texas, was last seen in the cage at UFC 57 in February 2006 when he laid a beating on Gilbert Aldana.

"Don't fear me, fear the consequences, baby," he said after that fight, delivering the Buentello slogan.

"Put (someone) in front of me, I'll bring it, guaranteed," he added.

Now Buentello (25-10) is back, looking to cut Stefan (Skyscraper) Struve down to size on the undercard of UFC 107 at the FedExForum in Memphis. The main event sees B.J. (The Prodigy) Penn defend his lightweight title against Diego (Nightmare) Sanchez.

At 6-11, Struve (22-3) is a tall order for one of Buentello's signature head kicks. But Buentello reckons if he can get close to the 21-year-old Swiss pipe cleaner, he can take him.

For the six-foot-two Buentello, it's a second chance to shine at the highest level of the sport. It took some two dozen fights to make the UFC the first time, knocking out Justin Eilers in the first round in February 2005 at UFC 51.

Buentello caught Eilers with a left and right, turning his legs to jelly.

"Seven years I've been trying to get here and I'm here," he said in the cage after stopping Eilers. "Awesome."

Buentello went on to submit Kevin Jordan and then got a crack at heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski at UFC 55. Buentello came straight at the champion and was felled by a right that send him crashing face first into the canvas after just 14 seconds.

He rebounded to beat Aldana but left the organization after that.

"I didn't want to leave," he said. "My manager at the time just figured I could take my services somewhere else, just try to bring my value up and then try to come back to the UFC and have a bigger value. . . . It was kind of a bad move."

Buentello went 3-1 in Strikeforce and then 2-0 in Affliction, which folded fight operations earlier this year. He didn't think the UFC would pick up his contract.

"I'm pretty much of a humble guy and didn't realize I had done enough to get back to the UFC," he said. "I was just kind of going to move forward and then got the call that the UFC wanted to get me back in, so I jumped all over it."

He had options, with Strikeforce looking for heavyweights to match against marquee Russian Fedor Emelianenko. But Buentello opted for the UFC.

"It's the premier promotion to be involved in," he explained. "Every other promotion I've been involved in either is not just putting enough fights on or it just closes its doors."

He points to his original opponent Todd Duffee pulling out through injury, saying other promotions might have just scratched the fight. The UFC had opponents ready and kept the fight on the card.

"That's one thing about the UFC, if they tell you you're going to fight and you're healthy, they're going to keep that fight going. Other organizations would just scratch me off the card and put another fight on the card that's ready to go instead to trying to match me up."

Buentello says UFC fans will see a more agile fighter this time around. He has added a nutritionist and personal trainer to his team and plans to fight Struve at 245 to 250 pounds, down from 252 to 260. He's put on muscle and shed fat.

"I feel real light on my toes," he said.

Buentello is a longtime member of the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose although there are reports that he has been at odds with them recently over his choice of management.

The fighter has long commuted from Texas to California, training most recently with AKA heavyweight Cain Velasquez, seen by many as a star in the making.

"It's kind of weird, it's like a whole another world for me, I'm basically living two lives," Buentello said.

Buentello rents a room with friends in San Jose, where he keeps a car. Being away from wife Stacy and their family - he has kids aged 10, 15, and 17 and two stepsons aged 19 and 21 - has not been easy.

But things got better when Stacey, whom he met some 13 years, got a job with United Airlines. A five-foot-six, 118-pound baggage-handler, Stacy has enabled Buentello to commute back and forth more often as needed thanks to her airline job.

Growing up in Amarillo, Texas, Buentello played football and baseball - and even had some minor league tryouts.

He boxed as a kid and was drawn to fighting when the Unified Shoot Wrestling Federation - a former of MMA with open-hand striking - came to town.

"Guys got to go in there and just beat each other up and didn't get in trouble," he said. "Back then that was a huge thing, to actually fight and not go to jail. Plus you got paid for it. Back then it was $500 to win and a dollar to lose. So it was kind of motivating to get in there and start fighting and win $500 on a weekend."

Tall as a kid, he had had to fight on occasion when challenged.

"I always had that competitive edge, always had that attitude fight first, talk later. That's how I was kind of raised. My dad always taught me, don't ask, if somebody hits you, hit them right back and don't stop until they start yelling for help."

Buentello proved to have quick hands, which he says - if delivered right - make for "shock and awe" power.

"It's not the power, it's the speed - and speed kills," he said.

"If I threw with power I'd be off balance a lot and fall over like most of the guys do, but if you have perfect technique and have that speed in your hands, you're going to get some clean knockouts," he added.

With the UFC looking south of the border at Mexico, Buentello is a handy heavyweight to have around. He's also no shrinking violet in the cage. He has gone the distance just twice, defeating Gary Goodridge in Affliction in July 2008 and losing to Bobby Hoffman in a 2003 King of the Cage fight (a defeat he avenged two fights later).
