at some point in 2016/17 bellator is going to unironically put on a catchweight TUF rivals fight between Leben and Koscheck and bill it as THE GRUDGE MATCH A DECADE IN THE MAKING and it will do better ratings than any of their title fights for the year

Lid posted:oh god loving drat it I've already discussed this in here a bunch, I think! Garry is terrific at leglocks because he's been training with Eddie Cummings and John Danaher for the last several years; aside from that, he's a terrific scrambler, goes back and forth between the ground and standing very fluidly, and is in impeccable shape. He just heelhooked Imanari at the last Polaris.

RE: Freak show fights The people at the bar I was at that night (which is a place that does pretty good business, not a dive bar) were absolutely glued to the television for the Kimbo/Shamrock fight and the ratings for that ridiculous fight show how much people are captivated by these freak show fights.

Gono shouldn't be fighting but he's broke, there was a video interview on Sherdog with him in Brazil asking him why the gently caress he's still fighting, and why in regional Brazilian events, and he nearly breaks down crying talking about his coach or nutritionist or something scamming him

I swear if Kimbo somehow loses this fight it will be the biggest work ever in combat sports Same goes for if he wins it too, but especially if he loses it.

The first takedown Phil got on me was when I threw a spinning back kick and he powered through it and he got that body lock The fact that Phil Davis was able to power through my spinning back kick that was knocking Antonio McKee off his feet the day before is definitely because of pre-fight boning, and has nothing to do with the fact that Antonio McKee is 50 pounds lighter than Phil Davis

my favorite newton memory is joey beltran beating the poo poo out of him until newton landed a freak spinning back fist. i also won't forgive him for that. imagine beltran being champion of anything. newton was on the way to making that happen.
