Burns was brought in to fight Bobby Lashley. When it comes to b-league supperweights, the bottom-end of ability is deeeeeeep

If he wasn't paid off to lose, then Burns should be cut. He's incredibly bad.

If Burns was going to take a dive he probably would have dropped after one of those knees so the ref could stop it, or stuck his head into a choke, rather than letting Wren tee off on him for half the fight.

Just tuning in. Anything noteworthy I missed?

E: I love this Dave and Busters commercial because they somehow got their three literally most stupid people on the whole roster and said "yes, these guys should be the face of our promotion in this overpriced bar-cade commercial."

Justin Wren returns after five years so he can donate every cent of his fight purses to support a destitute pygmy tribe in the Congo, which has got to make his opponent feel like kind of a dick. Also it's going to make it that much more depressing when he eventually fights Cheik and gets his balls kneed off.

It's heartbreaking honestly, because you can tell he watched so many pro wrestling promos and was able to even identify common trends and methods used in them, but is still just too tongue-twisted and mentally handicapped to actually execute any of them.

I enjoy listening to Tito attempt to put words together into coherent sentences. His in ring interviews at Affliction (i think) were all time classics.

I showed my sister that one. She doesn't give a poo poo about MMA or combat sports and have never heard of Tito Ortiz. She watched the whole thing and then started showing it to her friends.

What I'm trying to say is that Tito is still a draw.

So a fighter I know has just gotten back on the wagon, cleaned himself up a bit, and 5 minutes ago announced his next fight on Facebook... 2 minutes ago said fighter got a call from the org he fights for asking him to take his Facebook status down as it's meant to be a secret.

I hope this sport or the players in it never change, it's magical.

I figured JT would be a logical opponent for Lashley, who was announced sans opponent on Bellator's next trip to STL. I plan on going to that one so I'll see if I can get a picture for you, willie, but please don't use me to give him any messages as a loophole to your restraining order.

This was posted in the main UFC thread, but it's worth posting here, too: Pancrase 270 will be on Fight Pass on October 4. Four more Pancrase live shows will be on Fight Pass this year. Also, as mentioned in the past, the Pancrase fight library will be uploaded to Fight Pass "within the next few weeks".

In Venice there's a huge TUF multi-panel ad on a wall somewhere along Lincoln. The only other time they had any MMA ads were for Rousey/Carmouche, and it was a billboard featuring Machida/Hendo

Full of bologna

Hey, yinz remember Viacheslav Datsik, that guy who knocked out Arlovski in their pro debuts then went on a crime spree, got sent to an insane asylum after claiming to his court-appointed psychiatrist that he was in the reincarnation of a slavic pagan god, escaped from said asylum by ripping through the fence with his bare hands, stole a boat and snuck into Norway where he tried to claim political asylum based on being a neo-nazi before being deported back to Russia where he demanded to be given the maximum sentence on the basis that he was "too raw for humanity"? Well, contrary to previous rumors about his death in a Siberian labor camp, he is alive and is very upset about the deleterious effect that Alexander Emelianenko's release might have on society:

"Fightland posted:

Emelianenko is no angel himself, having been sentenced to prison for four-and-a-half years in May 2015 after being found guilty of rape. Aleks also has some questionable Russian prison tattoos some have accused as promoting potential Neo Nazi beliefs.

The diabolic Datsik sent his page-long diatribe to the Moscow courts. This included the following rambled passage: “I have known Aleks since 2003. Initially it was sport and friendship. But, I did not recognise his vile and rotten nature. This man is prone to betrayal and deception to profit from his friends and acquaintances.” This is before he accuses Fedor’s sibling of beating women at sporting events.



However, the two were supposedly friends at one point in time according to Datsik. In 2010, Emelianenko refuted this, saying: “This man isn’t a normal person. People like him shouldn’t be around normal people. He should be kept separate from society.”

To that, Datsik then publicly asked—from a prison cell, of course—to have Emelinaneko’s address so he can come find and confront him once he eventually gets his release from prison. If that ever happens, anyway.

It is highly doubtful that Datsik’s plea to the courts will see the time of day. But, this is the latest incident in one of the strangest and longest-running rivalries MMA has to offer.

Evinger almost lost her belt too but managed to cut down. Apparently a bunch of fighters missed weight, was there something wrong with the scale they used to test their cuts?
