Cruickshank signed with Rizin. http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/3/24/11296198/daron-cruickshank-signs-with-rizin-ff-set-to-debut-in-april

Never considered the possibility of a Cruickshank fight with soccer kicks before, didn't realize what I was missing out on.

that's cool and i hope he takes the opportunity to roid like crazy, because in his losing streak he seemed like he was either injured or lost a step

Jaideep is BACK baby!!!!!!!!! Next Rizin card:

110kg MMA - Kazuyuki Fujita vs. Jiri Prochazka
Grappling Tag Match (lol) - Sakuraba/Tokoro vs. Wanderlei/TBA
93kg MMA - Vadim Nemkov vs. Karl Albrektsson
98kg MMA - Teodoras Aukstuolis vs. Jaideep Singh
120kg MMA - Kirill Sidelnikov vs. Chris Barnett
70.3kg MMA - Daron Cruickshank vs. Shinji Sasaki
MMA - Yuta vs. Hisaki Kato (Bellator guy)
56.7kg MMA - Yuki Motoya vs. Allan Nascimento
MMA - Gabi Garcia vs. Anna Malyukova
64kg Kickboxing - Tetsuya Yamato vs. Hiroto Yamaguchi
73kg Kickboxing - Danilo Zanolini vs. Norihisa Amimoto
60kg Kickboxing - Yuya vs. Yuki
Shootboxing - Rena vs. TBA
MMA - Kanako Murata (the female Olympic wrestler who looked like a high school boy that they interviewed in the ring) vs. TBA

Kickboxing matches all look like they came straight out of a regional Japanese promotion, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Rena and the wrestler quietly drop off the card. Apart from the variety of awful loving crimes, Cruickshank vs Sasaki is legit, and Huggy Bear vs Sidelnikov will likely be fun, and if not, be funny.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



I can't believe they found someone else to fight Gabi Garcia. This woman is so obscure that when you Google her, only Gabi's picture comes up. But Bloody Elbow assures me she is a 26-year-old Russian who had won the "Russian MMA Championship" and the "World Cup of MMA in Russia" despite having a professional record of 1-0 so that is promising.

How do shoot tag matches work? Do you still have to physically tag or can you just say when the other guy is about to grab an armbar on you "hey wait I want to switch"

Imanari was in one which is the only reason I know tag team MMA is a thing, and from what I saw you have to physically make the tag.

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.

Saenchai keeps talking about wanting to do MMA, which is interesting because he's still an insanely high level striker and basically a living legend, and also not interesting because he's not just old in Thai years, but he's also old in actual years at 35

Moat fights owned, not a whole lot of moating though. I'll post some pictures later if I find any that don't suck when I sort through them.

e: I got to meet Tsuyoshi Iwakura cause I was sitting next to one of his students. Didn't realize he was the dude that hosed up that chi master from way back.

double e: There was a samurai combat demonstration then a full on samurai royal rumble.

I thought Moat Fights was that promotion where you fought in a 5-foot circle but I guess not.

I'm watching Legacy on AXS right now. Really fun Bantamweight fight just now that got ended by a killer liver kick, ouch.

During this samurai demonstration, any time it goes to the ground, the pull out their knives and stab each other in the side.

It reminds me of when, I believe it was david carmichael, when the question about time limits on the ground in judo, responded that 8 seconds is how long it was expected for you to draw your judo knife and finish the bout.

You missed mentioning the most important fight! You should all root for Karl Albrektsson because he's a nice kid training at my gym and we all have high hopes for him.

So far he's only competed in a few local shows here in Sweden and also grappled in that small tournament that was arranged before one of the Metamoris shows a while back.

I don't know how many people listen to the Sean Wheelock and Big John podcast but they spend a while talking about UR Fight - John was offered a huge payout to do the MMA fight but he didn't want to be associated with it. Sean tries to put it over as best he can because he was one of the commentators and John's just laughing at him like "you're full of poo poo dude, that show was garbage and you know it!"
