Apparently Emerson waited until 3 days before the flight to try to get a passport and then they said "no, we shall not give you a passport, let alone expedite this, because you owe 3K in child support."

All this after his MT coach (not Oyama) bought a bunch of new luggage and travel necessities, as well.

Is he exceptionally loving dumb, are passport applications somehow extremely fast in the USA, or did he just not want to die and found an easy out?

The finals were Zack Zouggari vs Hiroaki Suzuki (who probably should have lost his semi-final fight)

Round 1 was all Zouggari, r2 was maybe Suzuki and r3 was Zouggari again, so of course one judge has it for Zack and the other two say draw. R4 was kind of close, but Zack landed a bit more. Same decision, one judge for Zack, two for draw. Fifth round was sort of even, then Suzuki landed a good combo that wobbled Zack and the ref calls the fight :mad:

You -can- get a same-day expedited passport, you just have to show up in person at your local passport office, demonstrate an immediate travel need and pay like three times as much for it, but if you're going to that kind of effort they do a quick check to see if there's anything you might be trying to run from, like, say, thousands of dollars in unpaid child support

so basically, it's Rob Emerson, you know the answer.

Guess who's getting their poo poo together? That's right, it's not Glory, who postponed Glory 19 until some point next year.

K-1 signed a broadcast deal with a bunch of Chinese networks. They previously did like 80 million viewers on Hunan TV, and now they've got their next 3 events planned out.

January 1st is China vs USA
February 1st is China vs Japan
March 28th is China vs Thailand

Three names so far for team USA are Kevin Ross, Tiffany van Soest (although Lion Fight are apparently not happy about those two) and Andrew Tate, who you might remember fighting Sahak Parparyan in It's Showtime years ago.

Interestingly, Gabriel Varga is going to be fighting a Korean on the card even though he's under contract with Glory, they've apparently OK'd it.



They also signed Yod.

While it wouldn't be surprising if the tough schedule of a top Muay Thai fighter would eventually bring a tragic end to a fighters life, what has come to light after Sangmanee's hospitalisation is much more sinister.

Sangmanee was not suffering from an injury inflicted in the ring. Doctors have confirmed that he was poisoned, and that if he hadn't been admitted when he was he might have died due to kidney failure.

For now, Sangmanee is still under close observation. What happens next is not yet clear.

The scariest part of this story is that this isn't the first instance of a fighter being poisoned this year.

I realise this is obviously betting related but I had no idea it was so widespread.

Ross fought Omigawa, won by doctor stoppage due to a cut on Omigawa's eyelid.

Later on, (And this was only through the nico nico chat), it was announced that Ross' win was overturned and the match was a no-contest. Unless it was a cut due to an illegal strike, which I don't think it was (But it was super late at this point), that's pretty hosed up.

In one semifinal, Nieky Holzken meets Murthel Groenhart, while the other pits Raymond Daniels against Jonatan Oliveira.

If you listen to Tyson talk about boxing, he's actually incredibly knowledgeable about both technique and the history of the sport and can analyze what's happening in bouts he's watching with an incredible degree of accuracy. Cus used to make him spend nearly all the spare time he had when he wasn't working out watching old tapes and explaining to him what he saw and didn't see the fighters doing.

I'm not sure how much this will extend to kickboxing, but Tyson as a fight commentator is likely to do a vastly better job than most people would expect.

I'd be shocked if it gets them any press outside of the journalists they're already paying to cover them. I dunno, like in a vacuum I wouldn't think it's a bad thing or a big deal because I love Tyson, but the situation they're in and the dumb poo poo the new CEO says (like saying they were going to try to sign Cowboy...) makes me look at everything they do in a bad light
