MMA Superstar: aspirant to two belts, holder of none.

Incidentally, I wonder how many people have noticed that ONEFC could also stand for ONE FAILED CAREER. At this rate" "ONEFC after another" would probably be a more appropriate name for the organization.

Someone should start a new B-league OP with this title; the current one is way out of date. Volunteers?

Genuinely kinda curious what b-leagues are left at this point

There's the AXS.tv ones which at this point are pretty much just RFA and Legacy shows.

Oplot is dead, KSW runs shows super rarely.

Tachi Palace is back and streams about once every 2 months.

Bellator has its own thread, Invicta is now under the Zuffa/ Fight Pass label...

Shooto Brazil and Jungle Fights rarely if ever seem to be on anymore and Combate keeps cancelling broadcasts on short notice.

Is it really just OneFC, a periodic Fight Nights Moscow show, Tachi and WSOF left?

Oh and TitanFC, I forgot they have a TV deal now

Grandslam MMA last night was awesome. ROAD FC still does cards. EFC Africa does cards every month or so.

I read on some random blog that's probably not credible at all that Leonard Garcia is one win away from getting back into the UFC. I just watched his last fight in Legacy. He won, but he's not giving me the impression that he's learned how to throw punches that actually touch his opponent. Besides the one that ends the fight, Garcia doesn't appear to come close to landing anything with his hands. He's finished his last three fights, but man do I hope Zuffa is smart enough not to waste a spot on him.

how is it "wasting" a spot?

even if he loses he's still an exciting fighter and i'm pretty sure he's mexican which would let them stick him on some mexico card (iirc ufc 180?)

Also when he was badly outclassed twice by Nam Phan, a fighter who then went on to lose multiple 10-8 rounds to Jimy Hettes and Dennis Siver.

Garcia is the perfect kind of fighter to spice up a fight pass card, especially one that has a lot of unknown or unproven prospects. Unbelievably, there is definitely room in the ufc for Leonard Garcia in 2014.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
Leonard Garcia is not an exciting fighter, don't let his wins over cans say otherwise. He throws many punches but nothing lands, he's just a brown midget matt riddle

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
Leonard Garcia is exciting in that he can take a punch and it's fun to watch better fighters show off their striking skills.

Also that version of Leonard Garcia you're thinking about peaked in the 2nd Nam Phan fight. His last 3 UFC losses were not fun, just sort of sad.

Please rewatch the video I posted above. I'm not known for my insightful fight analysis, but allow me to direct your attention to any moment of the fight. I rest my case.

Garcia isn't even looking at his opponent when he gets the KO. His striking percentage is literally better when he puts his head down and swings like he's Daredevil.

Leonard Garcia should only fight those Brazilian knock-offs of real fighters, like Wanderson Solva or whatever.

I wonder if he's able to pick things up directly in front of him in his everyday life or if he has to look at the floor and sort of angle his fist in a circular motion toward the object.
