Chrom1um: Dec 31, 2005; Come and join my doomsday cult!

Invicta just signed 15 new punchladies:

Atomweight (105lbs)
� Amber Brown- 3-1

- World #5 AW in the Unified Rankings

Strawweight (115lbs)
� Livia Renata Souza- 5-0

- Good prospect, BJJ specialist (#19 in my unreleased FLW PSP rankings)
� Karolina Kowalkiewicz � 4-0

She's a very good prospect, not ranked in the Unified Rankings but ranked #23 by PSP
� Mellony Geugjes - 0-1 (18-5-2 Kickboxing, 10-0 Boxing)

� Herica Tiburcio- 7-2

World #12 SW (#17 by PSP)
� Ashley Greenway- 0-0 (4-1 amat.)

� Joanna Jedrzejczyk � 4-0

- World #6 Flyweight (I had her #7 FLW in my unreleased PSP rankings) apparently dropping to Strawweight (still listed at FLW in the press release but SW on the website, and she was leaked ahead of time as a SW)

Flyweights
� Rachael Ostovich - 0-1 (6-0 amateur)

� Valerie Letourneau � 4-3

- TriStar grappler
� Delaney Owen � 0-0 (7-2 amateur)

� Roxanne Modafferi � 15-11,

(listed at BW in the press release but FLW on the website, and FLW is her natural division) (#30 BW PSP rankings)

Bantamweights
� Peggy "Daywalker" Morgan - 2-1

(#31 PSP rankings)
� Cindy Dandois - 5-1

- Was previously retired and this is a really, really unexpected signing. She was a former Top 5 FW when FW was the big women's division, and she actually beat Marloes Coenen in her debut match. Mostly a grappler type.
� Irene Aldana - 3-1

Actually kind of decent from the match I've seen of hers. (#38 PSP Rankings)

Featherweights
� Faith Van Duin - 4-0

- Technically she is the world #4 FW. Her record is kind of suspect since she picked up 3 of those wins in a one-night tournament, but FW needs anyone they can get.

I managed to track down the results of that DEEP Jewels card, and my fave, Mizuki Inoue, missed weight so she was ineligible to win the fight. She armbarred Emi Tomimatsu in the third, so she lost by DQ. Why even have the fight if one person is unable to win? :psyboom:

That sounds really damned wierd. Why not just do what normal promotions do, and issue some form of financial deterrent, like the fighter who misses weight giving up part of their purse.

Supposedly she will be turning pro after her most recent can-crushing a couple of weeks ago (her amateur record is now 5-0). This is according to Ronda Rousey, so it's likely true.

Signs point to yes.

Because gently caress Japan. FightMatrix has rejected the outcome and is counting it as a win for Inoue. Sherdog had it recorded as a "loss" but changed it to a No Contest sometime in the last 12 hours or so (thank god, as this saves me from having to register a Sherdog account to vent my nerd rage at them). Also, Shannon Knapp recently affirmed that Inoue is still under contract to Invicta so hopefully Invicta can rescue her from crooked Japanese promoters.

Meanwhile, because Inoue managed to tap out Tomimatsu in her "loss," Tomimatsu is merely the Interim Champion. Inoue will probably be offered a rematch. I hope to gently caress she isn't contractually obligated to take it and can get the gently caress out of there. Maybe Roxy can hook her up to come and train in America, idk.

Meanwhile, in other Deep/Jewels news, for the zero of you who care, Mika Nagano has canceled her retirement match after getting married and pregnant, and while they still have a core group they rely upon, they're generally in a bad way. The one bit of bright news talent-wise is that former Top 10 Strawweight Saori Ishioka is returning from retirement. She won't be Top 10 when she returns, hell she'll barely be Top 25, but she's still pretty decent and is only 26 (she originally retired at the age of 24), so it'll be interesting to see how she works out.

Chrom1um: Dec 31, 2005; Come and join my doomsday cult!

From the When We Were Bouncers series:

Enson Inoue posted:

I RECENTLY GOT IN THE middle of a situation at an MMA show called RINGS: The Outsider. It�s a group run by a famous wrestler named Akira Maeda, and a lot of Yakuza fight on those shows.

Maeda�s organization got a reputation as being kind of crazy because a lot of the guys who fought there didn�t understand it was a sport, and so things would become personal. A guy would be watching his brother getting pummeled in the ring, and he�d take it personal and then things would happen outside the ring. You can�t have that, because if it happens too much then the police just shut the event down.

I would get paid just to be at these shows because I�ve got a lot of connections with the gangsters and the Yakuza people. Because of the respect they have for me, they usually try to control themselves to a point where they don�t riot or anything like that.

One night I was at a show and after one of the fights, the guy who won stood over his opponent a little bit longer than he should have and screamed down at him. But nothing physical happened as they left the ring, so I thought everything was okay and I just sat there waiting for the next fight to start.

Then all these big security guys came up to me and said that there was some poo poo going down in the back. Which struck me as weird, because I was like, �You guys are security, why the gently caress are you telling me?� (laughs) But then I realized that if they�re coming to me, there�s probably some crazy-rear end riot going on with gangsters who aren�t gonna be listening to the security guards.

So I walked in the back, and sure enough there was the two [Yakuza] fighters squared off with each other, and none of the security guards wanted to get involved. So I stepped in between the two guys, and even though they were both going crazy, they at least calmed down a little bit when they saw me. You could see them start to control their anger a little more. [Then] I noticed that the official security guys weren�t even standing with me to have my back -- I�m just standing there between these two guys with all their friends behind them, and the security staff is completely out of it!

Now, the usual idea would be to separate the guys involved, but I did things different. The way things go in the gangster world, if poo poo goes down you have to settle it now. If you�re gonna hurt each other, if you�re gonna solve it, you have to do it now. Because if you let it go and it goes through the [Yakuza] families, then even if the higher-up guys decide everything�s cool, you might still have the lower guys hurting each other. You don�t know who�s gonna tell what family member, and who�s gonna run into who. The whole problem can escalate, get out of hand.

So I took the two [fighters] in a room, just me and them. They were still worked up to the point where they looked like they were gonna throw down, but if they did it in there it would be cool [because it was] just two guys -- no weapons, no friends are gonna jump in, it�s just us. They kept yelling for a while, and then the guy who lost the fight started crying -- like, angry crying. But at the same time, [he] seemed to be more sad than pissed off. I guess those guys used to be friends, and he was sad that the other dude had disrespected him.

At that point I said, �Okay, this is cool -- it�s better that I�m not here so you guys can sort this out�, and I stepped out of the room. When the security guys saw me come out alone and close the door, they said, �What the gently caress are you doing? Why aren�t you in there?!� (laughs) But there were no knives or weapons in that room, just some lockers and some chairs, and how much damage are you really going to do to each other with chairs?

The security guys tried to go in there but I stopped them because, you know how sometimes when there�s people around trying to stop it, a guy will get braver? You know, he says poo poo that he probably wouldn�t say if it was just him and the guy he�s mad at, all alone. Sometimes having a crowd around can turn a mouse into a lion. But with just them alone in a room, there was no pride involved and it could come down to what the issue was really all about.

I listened through the door, and I heard yelling from both guys, then it turned to crying, then the crying turned to talking, and after that everything got resolved. Hmmm... I guess this would be a better story if somebody got stabbed! (laughs)

Because of the respect I have with these underworld figures, I�ve gotten really good at getting people to talk instead of go to war. Which is actually really funny, because back in the day I [was the first guy to] jump up and say, �Let�s fuckin� take it outside!� (laughs) The first option I used back then is the last one that I want to use today. The way I do things now, problems get sorted out and nobody has to get hurt.

Willie I'm sorry to say that a win there is not getting him into the UFC. Beating someone who is 11-11, after not fighting for 22 months, and being age 35... not a good combination. "Fight didn't count" meme has run its course, but Bob Sapp fights literally don't count, so in real fights he's 2-0-1 in the last 3 years. Not a ringing endorsement.
