Apparently DEEP are picking up the reins for the traditional hastily planned, ultra long NYE card. I'll be surprised if they get anything beyond a NicoNico streaming deal and a bunch of fights that they'd usually put on anyway.

Satoshi Ishii vs Heath Herring is apparently in the works :geno:

I don't know anything about Herring other than that he was supposed to be good in PRIDE and that Lesnar couldn't finish him despite mauling him for 15 minutes.

Also if you have UFC Fight Pass, watch his classic trashweight fight with Kongo at UFC 82. It's a Cheick Kongo fight that features mostly grappling, enough said.

Herring's mostly noteworthy for having lost to Cro Cop, Fedor, Nog, and Brock all in their primes.

Heath Herring is asthmatic, not very ring-smart, and not good at any aspect of the fighting game. He was nonetheless able to be ranked in the top ten during PRIDE's heavyweight heyday based on nothing but being able to throw knees and scramble into extremely weird positions, plus toughness. Even in this dumb sport, rarely has so much been done with so little.

Literally none of Etherington's opponents have a winning record. He's a can-crusher brought in to make Lashley seem impressive.

His opponents have a career record of 11 and 38. 6 of the wins were from one Polish dude called Tomasz Czerwinski. One of his wins came by a DQ in under a minute because of punches to the back of the head.

Lashley isn't exactly a world beater, either. His most significant win was against Wes Sims.

I predict this is gonna be a lot on more interesting fight than Bellator or Lashley believe.

Has Modaferri ever walked out to Roxanne by the Police?

Edit: From her FAQ on her site

quote:

7) How about coming out to "Roxanne" by the Police as an entrance song?
Roxy: How about not? That song is about a prostitute. I am not.
But it’s such a great song!
Roxy: Then you can enjoy it. Far away from me. and you can stop singing it to me now, thanksbye!

You big baby

Also:

quote:

11) Would you ever go out with me?
Roxy: I'm sorry, I'm already married. To MMA! :D That means I'm "MMArried."

And yet in 2014 she is a better striker than #3 bantamweight Miesha Tate.

It's p easy to see why Internet autists like her, she's one of them.

There were and still are plenty of reasons to love Fedor. Mostly because I genuinely don't think he ever cared one bit about anything going on around him and still managed to put on an alltime great run.
