I hope it's one of the recognisable guys from the last calcio storico match that got streamed. Moat Fights owns.

Also if pretty much any of those Bellator allegations are true that's messed up as heck

It's this. He takes a huge overhand right while on one leg. I don't know how you can watch that and think "wow he didn't get hit very hard."

This is where you quote yourself about the Italian casino owners being the least corrupt promoters.

It really is astonishing how frequently and with what vigor that statement gets proved right.

I think the most damning statement about Coker's judgement is he YET AGAIN hired Mike loving Kogan, because that's worked out so well every other time it's happened.

Yeah, like people make fun of failing upwards in Hollywood or the tech sector or whatever, but:

Mike Kogan made his name by using Royce as a way to get his foot in the door whereupon he was part of Dynamite USA, where the whole thing was a disaster and his client tested positive for so many steroids that the lab equipment blew up when measuring his power level, parlayed this ultimate failure into the non-existent role of president of FEG USA, a fictitious division of a company set up to prevent K-1 getting caught up in a tax evasion scandal that jailed its owner, they secured a US TV deal for which they didn't get paid, and Mike Kogan himself was on commentary making racist jokes and saying things like he didn't know a 10-7 round was possible in a sport where knockdowns are counted, wrote a paid blog on some website where he couldn't stop his racism bubbling over Richard Nixon style and called Rampage a "house n      ", used his PR skills to coach his most important client King Mo into publicly talking poo poo about the commission for suspending him for taking steroids, getting released from a contract that would've got him into the UFC, and is still constantly publicly racist. Then he used his expert negotiating skills to get Nate Diaz a worse contract which he repeatedly publicly asked to be released from.

Like there's a bunch of people in MMA, particularly from the early days, who just kind of bumbled into some weird important position but long term can't really hold it down. But Mike Kogan has thrown up failure after public failure in addition to having the kind of social media no-nos that would get you weeded out of the admissions process for pretty much any job. He's like a third rate Ken Pavia and behaves like somebody quantum lept into his body and was instructed to ruin his career but he keeps getting better and better jobs somehow.

"I don’t want to cause harm to anyone, I just want to be healthy. I was afraid, but I know I can walk now. It would be devastating to become paralyzed because of an infraction like that."

Yeah it would suck to not be able to walk because someone who fought you broke the rules

quote:

"The truth is it happened pretty much the day of [the weigh-in]," Mayhem said. "The jet lag is one thing I forgot to take into account. Let me just tell the fighters out there in the world, if you're ever having some jet lag issues and you're trying to make weight and you're within about seven pounds of the weight, do not buy a bunch of liters of water and leave them by your bed because you too will step on the scale grossly overweight"

"I was pretty light," Miller continued. "I was like ‘alright, we're gonna do this!' But yeah the jet lag and I bought a bunch of liters of water and when I woke up the next day they were all gone and I was like 'what the gently caress did I do? I'm hosed. I just hosed myself'... I feel terrible about it but the truth is it's been four drat years since I ever had to make weight so I'm not surprised."

"I slept drank 15 pounds of water" is certainly one for the books, thank you for your contribution to comedy, mayhem

Who is the fighters crazy mom who shows up at all the Russian B-league shows and instantly has a camera planted on her while her son fights absolute snoozers of fights? I was half watching the Russian card on fight pass last night when she rushed the cage after her son lost to start scolding him and clipping him around the ear.

I want to see more of her.

Pudz is KSW's cash cow so it's unlikely they'd work a match for him to lose.

I figured maybe some mobsters might have bet on the other guy, but it sounds like Pudz was whooping on him in the first round so I guess he just gassed. It is funny watching him methodically do everything wrong to defend the guillotine though.

Sounds like Khalidov had a pretty bizarre performance in his title defense too
