Can't wait for Sapp to either end his 12 fight losing streak, not show up or tap to punches in the first 30 seconds.

Bob Sapp is the smartest MMA fighter/kickboxer in the history of either sport and if you disagree you are just fundamentally wrong.

JT said he was genuinely loveable if not loving bizarre, there's loads of footage of him at the after party from SFL1 and rather than pretending to be injured he was doing all kinds of acrobatics, stealing microphones and interviewing people asking them how bad he was and how good JT was and then pretending to cry. He could have some serious mental illness he was that manic. The SFL didn't release the footage because it was all just so strange.

Satoshi Ishii vs. Jiri Prochazka
Teodoras Aukstuolis vs. Bruno Cappelozza

the brackets have been engineered for a Mo/Ishii final, this is going to be the worst tournament of all time

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



Canseco says he shot his own finger off cleaning a handgun with a round still chambered, (true he shot his own finger off, probably not true the way it happened as "I was cleaning my gun" is more often than not what you tell the hospital when you were doing something extremely stupid with a gun that resulted in self injury so they don't call the cops.) He later claimed the stitching came undone and his finger fell off playing poker, which was determined to be a lie because it is Jose Canseco.

You stopped reading too soon. He was 'acting' as an informant against terrorists, but a prematurely-terminated polygraph raises suspicion that he was a double agent.

What's the working relationship between Bellator and Sakakibara? They kept puffing RIZIN and Fedor especially on commentary during fights.

edit: I guess they have something going on with Spike TV actually.

Seems worth mentioning that Stephan Puetz lost his M-1 Global Light Heavyweight title to Viktor Nemkov yesterday. It was a majority decision, 50-46, 50-46, 49-49, I'd have to rewatch it but at the time I thought that Puetz won the first 3 rounds.

Ramazan Emeev defended the Middleweight title against Liugi Fioravanti, a name I haven't heard since the glorious BattleGrounds one night Welterweight tournament. Emeev won as Fioravanti's corner didn't let him go out for the 5th round, he was just generally outclassed everywhere. It was a decent decision to just end it there.

So my mate Reece McLaren has taken a short notice fight against Strigel in One FC.

I dont know anything about this other dude.

I trained with Reece a few times in brisbane when he was working up here before he went pro. Super nice guy with a real interesting fight bio. He actually lost to Ben Nguyen who keeps starching dudes in the ufc.

Why hes someone to watch: he just got promoted to brown belt in bjj, he is a golden gloves boxer, he recently got selected as an alternate for the commonwealth games in wrestling.

Dude is legit well rounded and a super cool bloke, can anyone tell me anything about his opponent.

If you really want to help a mate out find out his opponents phone number and call it at really bad hours, both his mobile and house phone, interrupted sleep isn't good for recovery and they won't be able to train as much. If you can do it via Skype from a proxy in another country so as not to get caught and get other people to do it it works best.

Don't try and poison their food, the police really dont like it.

Cindy Dandois is the Belgian judo champion who Meisha Tate brought in to prep her for Rousey. She is nowhere near as good as Meisha Tate, and she has lost to Tonya Evinger at 135. In her last fight she got beaten up by a C-league brawler for a round and a half before scoring a sloppy triangle.

In other words, she's going to do worse than Charmaine Tweet, who was at least big enough to be fighting at 145
