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

Cyborg's not fighting Cindy Dandois anymore. Instead, she's fighting someone who lost to Cindy Dandois.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, but selecting Fedor's opponent has been a massive shitshow apparently. Millen is telling people it's going to be a rematch and trying to hint that they're somehow putting Crocop or Hendo together, but I don't think he actually really knows anything at all.

King Mo is now fighting this guy http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Brett-McDermott-89439

Wicky Akiyo is on the card, but under kickboxing rules as a showcase for Hiroya, who has been consistently proven to suck poo poo and not be any fun to watch.

On the flip side, K-1 champ Takeru is on the card, and he's completely dumb as poo poo and owns to watch, and will be fighting some unknown Chinese guy for no reason

Takeru is the dumbest best fighter in the world and his fights own so goddamn much, can't wait to see him idiot-murder a no-name Chinese guy.

This goes without saying for most of you but for those who it doesn't - Crocop and Hendo are both still under UFC contract and if they so much as breathe an attempt to fight Fedor on New Years Zuffa lawyers will parachute in to destroy them. Jerry Millen is a moron.

She has a good w/l at 9-1, but then, dear god, I checked out some of her opponents.

Her last win is over a bantamweight who is 3-3 with a loss to a strawweight, and whose 3 wins have a sum record of 1-14, give or take a few losses because I'm not bothering to figure out "at time of their fight." Her win before that is against a woman who is 3-1 with wins over the same no-win cans as the previous.

And those seem to be her best wins.

It seems that beating up fat ukrainian housewives gets you a title shot in Invicta.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

including tournament bouts, there's now 25 fights confirmed for the two cards that comprise the new year's shitshow and a one-legged jt vs a retired japanese heavyweight is legitimately one of the best fights they put together. only kickboxing nerds could possibly care about this, which is an amazing accomplishment for an mma show

Brandon Vera with the easiest win of his career, finally a Heavyweight Champion. Just in ONE Championship rather than the UFC. Horrible mismatch, dropped Cheng with a left hook, he got back up & ate a head kick & that was it after about 20 seconds.

You folks just missed a hilarious ball punch in full guard, and then the ref tapping on the guy's heels while he was curled up cringing in pain in the middle of the cage. Possibly deserves some kind of year-end award.

This is some high-quality poo poo straight from Russia.

The highlight had to be the EFN house band & the choir of the Russian Army doing a rousing rendition of Smells Like Teen Spirit to walk out Josh Copeland for the main event. Russian MMA is certainly characterful.
