Think that Aoki can actually submit Sakuraba? Because he's certainly not going to KO him.

Or at least I pray that Sakuraba has enough chin to avoid being KOd by Aoki at this point :smith:

In 2 of his last 3 fights Sakuraba was tapped out by Jason Miller & Yan Cabral. Yeah, I think Aoki can submit him.

Why do the old K1 guys have such loyalty to showing up as short notice fighters to weirdo Japanese events that may or may not pay them? When Japanese fighters do it you can kinda chalk it up to bushido spirit or whatever but I can't really see the incentive for these guys outside of Yakuza debts.

if all it took was one guy dying on the mat to make fight camps revise how they do weight cuts, I'd be all about the fight day weigh ins.

what is the worth of a human life? less than eliminating people gaming weightclasses in fake sports for gay aesthetes, apparently

I think in Aerts' case it's because he's a friendly, sociable kind of completely fuckin crazy

Also a Russian channel called Match TV will be airing both events live (starting at 1am EST tonight) if you're so inclined

Apparently, RIZIN uses full Pride rules (soccer kicks and stomps), including a 10 min first round followed by two 5 minute rounds. (GP fights are 2 rounds). The WMMA fights are 3x5, the Mix Rules Miyata vs. Watanabe fight will be 2x3, first round K-1, second MMA. Sapp is rematching Akebono under Shootboxing rules.

You can watch using Hola, or another Russian VPN in HD at http://matchtv.ru. Otherwise, alternate link here: http://ok-tv.org/channels/6-match-tv.html.

lol good to see japanese promoters keep insisting on different rules for female fights. remember when megumi fujii was the best fighter in the world as long as you only had to fight for 9 minutes and there was no ground and pound allowed and automatic standups after 30 seconds

also even though i know he's sub-usa kickboxing heavyweight level, hyun man myung has been beating up fat guys in mma and looks like he might fit in at bellator

the remaining participants in this tournament of dreams are: hong man choi, mighty mo, really fat chinese guy

They announced the next round of the tournament, it's Hong Man Choi vs. Chinese guy and Mighty Mo vs. Hyun Man Myung. Mo was supposed to fight that guy in the first round but they changed it to him beating up Choi Mu Bae for the second straight event, and Hong Man Choi looks so frail now that it's actually pretty sad to see him getting in the ring still.

I assume this is kosher since there's no legal way to watch in the west and it's not a PPV anywhere.

My fave story from Japan was when my friend fought Rin Nakai and she was given different rules to her opponent, they made out it was a mistake and that it would be corrected up until the last second when they went whoops sorry we can't change the contract now fight or don't but we won't pay for your flight home if you don't.

Mizuki Inoue missed weight for a fight in Deep and the way they punished her was to have the fight go on as planned, and when Inoue won with an armbar they just declared her the loser by DQ instead.

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.
