glory is really low rent these days, but they did manage to re-sign saki (he was supposed to be fighting cavalari on the last card but got injured). there's lots of kickboxing going on in china right now that's impossible to follow. but really the only org that's reliably putting on great shows is k-1 japan, they just had their 65kg japan tournament, but the schedule for the rest of the year is japan and world tournaments at 55, 60, and 65kg.

i can't stress enough that k-1 japan is the only kickboxing org that's consistently good and actually feels like kickboxing used to. they're slowly starting to put on heavyweight superfights (which i think is a bad idea but whatever) but the talent they've got at the lower weights is fantastic. their 55kg champion has a flatout ridiculous style but is probably the most exciting kickboxer on the planet right now as a result:

this was a goodass fight from the last tournament too:

you can subscribe to their youtube channel where they post full fights a month or so after events, or watch on nicovideo if you're a weird guy who can figure that stuff out.

I enjoy this sport, where they give you a golden belt if you savagely and deliberately kick a man's leg in half, but if you celebrate with a sweet backflip you will be punished for going too far

I suspect in this case indefinitely is meant literally rather than "forever" and they will just give him a token suspension or fine. That or other commissions won't uphold it because they have no such rules

Will WSOF 30 be worth watching? I'm gonna be in Vegas that weekend and general admission tickets are like $35 after convenience fees, I might just try to convince my friend to go with me and see my first live fights.

Card looks like this:

MMAJunkie.com posted:

Champ David Branch vs. Clifford Starks – for middleweight title
Jon Fitch vs. Joao Zeferino – for vacant welterweight title
Jake Heun vs. Vinny Magalhaes
Abu Azaitar vs. Danny Davis Jr.

No info about the prelims yet. Thanks in advance.

You might see a cool sub and Fitch will definitely lead blanket a dude to win a belt. Sounds like $35 well spent.

fujita hasn't won a fight since david rickels painted on walls, the last time he got knocked out he had old man conniptions and nearly died and that was six and a half loving years ago, is Inoki secretly hiding on the boardroom floor kicking their matchmakers in the kneecaps until they agree to make someone literally expire

For $35 you should definitely see it. Live mma is a cool experience even when it's not top level.

“I truly honestly believe that if it wasn’t for the pills that I’m taking, my life would have been done a long time ago. I would have taken my life, absolutely. Mental disability is a huge thing. It’s got me crippled," said noted dementia sufferer and Canadian Donald Trump supporter Gary Goodridge to Inside MMA in January. "My days suck. When I wake up, I feel like going back to bed. I could get a job, then I’d forget I had a job.”

I can't blame to guy for having bad opinions given that his head is all sorts of hosed up. Ostensibly sane and non-brain damaged Americans have supported Trump for worse reasons.

quote:

Less than 24 hours after Justin Gaethje‘s indefinite suspension was revealed to the public, it has been lifted.

[...]

Josef Mason, director of the Colorado Boxing Commission, told MMAWeekly.com Wednesday morning that he simply wanted to be sure that Gaethje understood the “concern by the commission for the safety of all around the cageside area.”

After having a conversation with Gaethje on Tuesday, he was taken off suspension as of Wednesday morning.

Also Mayhem got arrested again

quote:

TMZ.com reported on Wednesday that the troubled former UFC and Strikeforce talent was arrested for vandalizing an Orange County, Calif., tattoo shop with graffiti in January.

Sherdog.com confirmed via online court records that Miller was taken into custody on Tuesday, with his bail set at $1 million. According to the report, that figure was so high because Miller was out on bail for a previous felony at the time of his arrest.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
