gently caress. Paul Taylor was one of the first times I came to realize liking and rooting for pure strikers is usually a good way to end up heartbroken.

If I'm looking at his Facebook page correctly, Krazy Horse is out of jail and has signed a 2-year, 8 fight contract with King of the Cage.

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.
Kimbo Slice has the exact same body that I do.

it's going to own

Also here's a pretty sweet quote from Patricio Freire:


I think he should come to UFC where he will be respected.

Coker outdoing himself to get hosed over by a foreign promotion?

When strikeforce was in full swing, my most passionate desire was see the cohen brothers make a "burn after reading" style movie on MMA, where an assortment of morons and charlatans play scott coker for a fool endlessly, ultimately ending in tragedy. I still think they could make the definitive MMA movie.

Seems they might actually be involved. It's tough to tell what's going on with Glory at the moment since it's a bit of a mess, money is tight, and their TV deal is up after the next event. Is the press release up somewhere?

Oh, well then I'll dish the hot kickboxing politics scoopz:

I can't speak for higher up involvement from Glory, but I can tell you that their matchmaker (Cor Hemmers) isn't doing the matchmaking. Coker is running the show and has delegated matchmaking to someone he trusts from AKA (but it's not Bob Cook). Coker's wanted to get back into kickboxing for a while, and wants big name fighters for this show, not the stuff you've been seeing in Glory recently. This isn't just a recent whim, if anybody remembers the weird Badr Hari in Strikeforce idea.

There's a worry from certain corners that Spike will stay in the kickboxing game, but that they'll do so with Coker rather than Glory. We'll see whether that happens and whether the Glory brand/staff is retained later today.

If McCarthy refs Kimbo/Ken, we are looking at a combined 144 years of life experience in that cage. Is this the oldest main event of all time?

Someone explain to me how Coker got in bed with Bob Cook? AKA had a lot of say in Strikeforce signings and matchmaking and it appears Bellator is continuing with this. Is it a Cung Le thing?

Sounds like Overeem just got a little more job security in the UFC. Can't imagine Zuffa wanted him as a free agent too much in the first place, but especially not if there's an idiot back in the mix who will give him too much of someone else's money to kickbox and do MMA again.

The UFC isn't cutting any heavyweights, injuries and a shallow division means you never get more than a handful of heavyweight fights on any given month, meanwhile there are about 500 lightweights on the roster.

Cook did the matchmaking for Coker's promotions I believe all the way back in the kickboxing days, until someone pointed out that this was bullshit when they had AKA fighters on every show and they hired Rich Chou as a professional fig leaf

My favorite thing was Sherdoggers referring to Rich Chou as a matchmaking genius when in fact he was just paid to stand around and take the heat for Bob Cook.
