I need to watch this Kumite. Senegalese wrestling sounds intriguing enough.

Senegalese lutte is amazingly stupid, it's like oil wrestling crossed with sumo promoted by the Nollywood version of the KSW guys. Also one of the big stars is no poo poo named Balla Gaye

That card looks like a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. It in fact looks like most Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. Neat! Is this an elimination tournament? The page doesn't say other than that it is Ganryujima 3 and mentioning finalists and semifinalists in previous Ganryujimas.

it doesn't look like it's a tournament unfortunately, but running the event page through a translator it says there's going to be a weapons and armour fighting demo, lol

http://ganryujima.jp/?grjm_events=1905

also the capoeira guy who got that youtube ko is fighting the guy who knocked out a 60 year old and their youtube channel is wonderful

you were just saying the other day that you can't name a lot of fighters in the ufc's top 10. i think the huge roster of the UFC is not necessarily the biggest problem there

I looked it up and found this:

From it I learned that one of those men is probably Balla Gaye, Senegalese Wrestling is the greatest sport, and that fireworks look weird on sand.

Senegalese wrestling does indeed own, and it features in hyperbolic caricature everything that this thread cherishes. There's a longer-form article from SBnation (I think?) that details it.

I think that's where Bigfoot's witch doctor does most of his work.

I played it on psp tv a few times, once with cortXbomb providing commentary.

Might see if we can swing another showing down the line.

That was a 50 meter something, but it weren't no sprint. Bob looked like he was rushing toward his walking frame.

They did a rehearing and decided they were too harsh, he's eligible to come back next May provided he pass a drug test around that time. It's believed the reason he was also in talks with Rizin (including for a Fedor fight) was to step around that so he could have at least one fight sooner

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
While Wanderlei vs Chael in Bellator would be a big fight I do think Chael would get more by fighting under UFC (both short-term and definitely long-term) so he would stick with them. The Vitor fight we never got, a trilogy with Anderson, a fight with Machida... wow I forgot how many Brazilians Chael used to pick fights with.

I have no doubt that Bellator will find a location that does not honor other state's AC decisions. They might even be able to borrow Dada 5000's boat.

The theory has been that if a promotion circumvents a commissions ruling by having a suspended guy fight overseas or whatever they would have a harder time getting events licensed. It will be interesting to see what happens when bellator tries them on it

what's chael's relationship with the ufc nowadays? he's such a company man but after the drug suspension he seems kinda out in the cold. i can definitely imagine dana bringing him back though, they loving love their company men. fighting in bellator seems like a good way to sabotage a future career as a ufc analyst or whatever.

He already had a cushy analyst job that he lost due to the suspension, it's possible that bridge has already been burned.

Nah. He and Dana White always got along and he still hasn't had a negative thing to say about them. The UFC isn't going to hold a grudge against him for being an admitted tiny-balls haver. It'll be more about money than anything.
