(Karlos Vemola HL reel, with narration by Cookie Monster. Props: gangstervideoscouk via Fightlinker)
With his hulking appearance and string of first-round stoppage victories, Karlos "The Terminator" Vemola is already drawing hype as a Euro version of Shane Carwin. The Czech Republic-bred London Shootfighters product has gone 7-0 in his MMA career so far — primarily in England’s Cage Fighters Championship league — with five of those wins being decided in the first minute of the fight; his longest match lasted 3:14, and his shortest ended in just five seconds. And so, the UFC is giving Vemola a shot, slating him against TUF 10 wrestling specialist Jon Madsen (5-0), who most recently out-pointed Mostapha Al Turk on the preliminary card of UFC 112. Vemola vs. Madsen is slated to go down at UFC 116, July 3rd in Las Vegas.
Besides his intimidating build, Vemola has a couple of good story-lines coming into the match. He’s a training partner of Al Turk, so there’s the trusty revenge angle. He also has personal history with another TUF 10 vet, James McSweeney, who previously accused Vemola of using steroids; Vemola and McSweeney were supposed to fight for CFC’s heavyweight title at one point, but McSweeney withdrew from the match to move to the United States. If Vemola can smash Madsen, maybe he and McSweeney will have their date after all.

commentsAnd Madsen will be cashing this "Czech" in, or maybe bouncing this "Czech". props and +1 to El Famous for original line.
And cross between Jenna, daisy and Kim Couture, you make it sound like a bad thing, didn't you see the fake boobs?smoken!
But he ain't in Brock Lesnar-level dickishness territory yet.
I think you should stay in your native country bud.
“What’s your tactics Karlos?”
“To run at him with punches until he falls over”
I've got Madsen in this one. Al Turk is the #1 heavyweight from Cage Rage IMO so if Madsen had no problems with Al Turk I cant see this guy worrying him.
Oh, and yeah Cage Rage do have pretty good quality ring girls, and theres always at least 4-6 on show, so props to Cage rage for that one
He'll gas 1st round then tap, I wonder if his opponent should hold it for an extra few seconds (ala royce gracie) to humble him a bit..
And yeah, the vid doesn't display anything notable aside from the GnP... maybe a couple of decent takedowns.
Intimidating as fuck? - Check
Only punches with his right hand? - Check
Great wrestling? - Check
Steroid possibility? - Check
Yes it seems he fits perfectly into the UFC heavyweight division. Put this guy against kimbo slice and make kimbo look like a bitch. But please first let him destroy McSweeney. I hate that fucker, he sucks so bad yet he still somehow has a job? I saw him on a poster at the mall today for the new UFC game. I puked all over the escalator and punched an old lady.
But yah this guy isn't ready for the big dogs yet, but I like him already. I love anyone who resembles that kind of aggression in the cage. Wandy style.
i def see maybe a middle-tier, stand & bang quotient being filled on a UFC on VS card.
Off the subject a little here, but why don't the UFC's ring girls shake their junk like CFC?
