You don&#8217;t recognize the name? Buentello, 36, was around during the day when the UFC heavyweight roster was a bit thin. Andrei Arlovski was the champ and the promotion had a tough time finding opponents before UFC 55. <\/p>\n<p>Buentello (27-11, 3-1 UFC) stepped up to the plate but he wasn&#8217;t ready and fought recklessly. He treated his career the same way when he walked away from the promotion in the middle of 2006. Buentello&#8217;s schedule got real sketchy and he made little money so when he had the chance to get back into the UFC, he jumped at it. But it&#8217;s a different world now in the UFC heavyweight division. It&#8217;s brimming with solid prospects and every fight could&nbsp; be your last. <\/p>\n<p>Buentello lost a close decision war against Stefan Struve at UFC 107 and now he has Cheick Kongo. What does a loss mean? Buentello can&#8217;t even think about it. <\/p>\n<p>He badly needs the win so he made a radical move from Northern California to the Denver area. Buentello, respecting the altitude change in Broomfield, Co. has been in the area for the last six weeks. He thinks it&#8217;ll make a huge difference in his fight on Sunday. &nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time isn&#8217;t on the side of Paul Buentello.
