oh my loving god, the brazilian commission didn't approve manhoef's medicals, the fight will happen but without oversight. but the tv channel has a deal to only air events overseen by the commission so Gringo Super Fight is some kind of hellish dark ages unwatchable show

It'll air next Sunday on Esporte Interativo. I'll have a link up in this week's B-league update, never fear.

Presented in DTS ES 6.1 where available.

The best part happened after the fight when the reward hunter came looking for his reward.

quote:

Right after Manhoef’s win, PRIDE veteran and former WEC middleweight champion Paulo Filho entered the cage to challenge the new champion, and Gringo Super Fight promoter Antonio Tolentino announced that Manhoef will fight the Brazilian in November.

Manhoef had no idea, though.



Manhoef, who suffered a first-round submission loss to Filho in 2009, wasn’t asked about the fight before the challenge, but accepted the fight. Filho wanted to fight Manhoef tonight, and even called him to fight outside the arena, but they will have to wait for November.

"I don’t mind," Manhoef said. "No problem, I will beat him. No problem."

This is already happening in soccer with predictably hilarious results (except with real names). http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2012/sep/10/brazilian-youngsters-name-game-copinha

quote:

Americano-MA boasted a Roberto Baggio in their squad. The tournament also stood out for its 15 Romários (or Romarinhos), one of whom is the son of old Baixinho himself.

Finally, we come to the best category of all: misspelt names. This year's Copa São Paulo included touching tributes to Dutch legends Frank Rijkaard and Ruud Gullit. The resulting names – Raikard and Rudigullithi
Looking forward to Mhark Colimané

WSOF feels like an EliteXC except the understand they will never compete with UFC. So we get some weird freakshow fights and attempts to draw with goofy poo poo, but there's also some good stuff.

The problem is that Ali Abdel-Aziz, who isn't even a great promoter, is also the matchmaker while also having a day job as a fighter manager (albeit mostly for some UFC fighters), and he's loving horrible at actually using the whole roster. This has led to numerous notable talents retiring because of lack of fights (Din Thomas, Gilbert Yvel, Jorge Santiago, and Gerald Harris off the top of my head). They burned through their entire Welterweight division before making a title match between Josh Burkman and Steve Carl, and did the same thing at BW before Marlon Moraes tried to win.

They've managed to piss away their HW and LHW divisions both into utter states of disarray.

They've signed Ashley Evans-Smith after she beat Fallon Fox, but have signed no one for her to fight. Their women's Strawweight division is utterly hosed should Jessica Aguilar lose.

He has the matchmaking skills of a slightly above-average Sherdog fantasy-booker and the same level of tact to boot.

If Guillard doesn't win against JZ, watch AAA forget that he even exists.

You mean FFC? It's run by Orsat Zovko (Crocop's manager) and probably the manager of whichever Croatians end up on the card so be careful but it's good that he's got plenty of notice, and even when he ran the Glory show with Crocop/Bonjasky somehow they didn't give it to Mirko. However, the K-1 thing.
