I'm going to CFFC 36 tonight, which is going to be broadcast on Comcast PPV. Tiger Schulmann's Finest versus Some Guy From TUF 19 is the main event, I'll try to write a trip report.

Does it get more B-league than WSOF prelims? No. No it does not.

Prelims at 7:30, main card at 10. No I don't know who is fighting; that would take considerably more effort than the card is worth.

I like how he gets a semi main vs Sefo, makes a big comeback and gets the KO, then his next fight isn't even on the main card of their weakest show to date.

edit: oh that's why

CFFC 36 report: $55 for a maybe $35 event. Some gross mismatches, gassy light heavyweights, early stoppages, and a straight up squash match by Lyman Good. Somehow Andy Main lost a split decision with one judge giving him 30-27 and his opponent 30-27 and 29-28.

People! I'd like to say a couple words for you: If you have a dream in your life... go head! It's a possible! Go head! I can do that!
It's good to know that no matter how despicable you are as a human being, there will always be an MMA promotion that loves you unconditionally somewhere out there.

-Just lucky, I guess
So the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) are currently arranging a world championship in amateur MMA. I don't know much about the championship in itself, but some fights filmed by the Norwegian team popped up in my youtube feed, so I guess I'll share them here. Strictly speaking, amateur MMA isn't the same as b-league MMA, but I hope this is ok nonetheless.

Some information about the IMMAF and the championship can be found here.

Here is a pdf with the amateur rules that are being used.

And here are some fights:

Two people from my gym are there as well. And it's not surprising that the photos are from Sweden. The whole IMMAF initiative seems to have started up here. I guess we like to organise amateur sports

It's possibly my coach had something to do with the design of the website since he's a graphic designer and the head of SMMAF.

No.

Jon Fitch is no longer on his weirdo vegan diet. He's back to eating meat every day. He's going to be a light heavyweight fighting at 170 again. Bring Back Jon Fitch

I knew everybody had been playing musical chairs with opponents but I didn't know Hallman was in. He's old and broken now but it would be bad news for Fitch if he has one last drop of the Hughes magic. I like that fight, it will probably be terrible.

It really sucks that no matter how great Nick Newell does...as soon as someone beats the gently caress out of him it's going to make terrible terrible headlines and probably crossover like mad. The even shittier thing is that strikes me as a legit reason to keep him out of the UFC :smith:.

Greg Savage from Sherdog said that there are STILL Athletic Commissions that wouldn't sanction a fight featuring Newell, which is crazy, since he has held his own in his own and is still undefeated.
