Here's a pretty in-depth article about Cyborg trying to make 135. I didn't realize that the UFC was chipping in to have this guy live with her. I still won't believe it til I see it though.

Want to read dunc's take on this. Isn't that Lockhart dude the other guy selling snake oil to lose weight like Dolce?

That's pretty God damned insane but if it makes a Ronda/Cyborg superfight I'm all for it.

Earlier today MMAJunkie reported that the World Series of Fighting plans a one night eight man elimination tournament to be held in Seattle in November with the following tweet:

"1 NIGHT ONLY! 8-man LW tournament! Nov 20th in Seattle live on @NBCSN! Winner gets Gaethje/Palomino! More TBA!"

The problem with this? Leaving aside the ABC’s medical committee’s stance that elimination tournament MMA should “not be endorsed” Washington State law prohibits elimination tournaments. You can access Washington State’s Law Relating to Combative Sports here.

Specifically RCW 67 08.015(4) bans elimination tournaments reading as follows (bold emphasis is mine):

quote:

No amateur or professional no holds barred fighting or combative fighting type of contest, exhibition, match, or similar type of event, nor any elimination tournament, may be held in this state. Any person promoting such an event is guilty of a class C felony. Additionally, the director may apply to a superior court for an injunction against any and all promoters of a contest, and may request that the court seize all money and assets relating to the competition.

From WSOF exec @AliAbdelaziz00: Hey brother, (yesterday) in the interview I misspoke. Seattle is where we were trying to go but found out they don't allow tournaments. We are working on other locations. The tournament is for sure happening though.

Guillard showed up to the Gaethje fight four pounds overweight, rendering it a non-title bout. He was then pulled from his next bout after failing to provide medicals in a timely fashion and refusing to do media to promote his fight, aside from an interview with Submission Radio in which Guillard slammed the organization and its executives. Guillard ultimately asked for and received a release from his WSOF contract, leaving Abdel-Aziz frustrated by the very public manner in which way the situation played out.

"People know what Melvin is," Abdel-Aziz said. "And honestly, I'm upset with Melvin. Because after he asked for his release and [manager] Malki [Kawa] asked me, and we gave him his release and he sent me a text message saying ‘thank you, I really appreciate it,' the whole thing is he's going on the internet and talking about WSOF is s**t and UFC is s**t. He's s**t. Like, Melvin sucks. Honestly, I think he's an explosive, athletic guy, he's getting older -- it's not working for him.

"Listen, Melvin, we had some sparring sessions in the gym at Greg Jackson's, and I beat Melvin every time. Melvin is never going to be a world champion. Melvin is going to be a world champion of one thing: he taps. That's what Melvin does. That what he does, he's the world champion of tapping.

"All you've got to do is just match him up with a wrestler. He's going to take him down and finish him. That's how I finished him in the gym and Greg Jackson was a witness of that."
