c-spam cannot afford



I could actually see Cyborg beating Gabi in the cage despite that being the one matchup where she would be on the bad side of a size advantage. Cyborg's striking isn't anything to sing about, but it's worlds ahead of Garcia's.

And I've only seen her first fight, but Gabi did not respond well to pressure. Size aside, pressure and tenacity are what Cyborg brings to a fight.

Yeah but would she if the other woman had 5 inches and a hundred pounds on her (or whatever the real difference is since Garcia's measurements are all made up)

I believe entirely that Gaby is 220ish or more easily. She is loving huge.

In this hypothetical fight Cyborg would be on equal amounts of gear and probably in the 190 range. Gabi is bigger for sure but not monstrously so. Remember Cyborg cut from 170 something for her latest 140 fight.

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.
I'll admit when Palhares was first given the boot by UFC I was hopeful he would learn not to crank on submissions and work his way back to UFC since I did enjoy watching most of his fights. But then he just kept doing shitheaded things and being a bad guy. So gently caress him.

So if Palhares is currently banned by the NSAC but taking fights in Poland, are there going to be any repercussions for that? They generally look down in people who are banned taking fights elsewhere, and being petty and small minded as they are they might take this as a personal affront.

Not that that would be a bad thing in this case, because gently caress Palhares.

They could prevent him from ever getting licensed to fight in the US again and/or garnish any future purses from his fights in an AC-controlled state, but if he just keeps fighting in Europe and Asia there's not a lot they can do about it. Brazil is a maybe; I'm not sure what kind of relationship CABMMA has with the US commissions.

There's kind of a mixed precedent for this situation so it's hard to say. I can't remember the exact details, but I think after Vitor popped one time the NSAC told him that if he took fights outside of the US to circumvent the suspension, it would negatively affect him when he did reapply. On the other hand, when Shlemenko popped the CSAC didn't really care if he fought outside of the US.

Mind that Shlemenko hasn't fought in the US since then.

same. I'm happy with child kickboxing tho.

Also Oct19th, please watch Alaska Fighting Championships. The last event they had didn't have a fight outside of the first round and it was some of the funniest poo poo I've ever seen.

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/10/6/13187164/fedor-criticized-chechen-dictator-child-mma-fights-threatened-by-kadyrov-cronies

quote:

The oldest of Kadyrov’s children, Akhmad, is 11 years old and weighs 30 kilograms. He eventually won his fight by KO. The other two sons, 10 and 9 years old, won unanimous decisions and were awarded miniaturized belts for their efforts while Kadyrov’s henchmen celebrated around them.

...

The next day, the President of the Russian MMA Union, Fedor Emelianenko, criticized Kadyrov’s promotion for hosting child fights.

“What happened at the tournament in Grozny is unacceptable and, moreover, cannot be justified,” he wrote on his social media account. “Needless to say that kids under age of 12 cannot even attend MMA fights (in Russia) as spectators, but here we had little ones as young as eight beating each other up in front of happy adults.

“I am outraged by the fact that the head of Chechnya was watching over it. Didn’t [the Chechen] sports minister tell him about the fact that children under 12 cannot participate in MMA under any circumstances?”

Fedor’s criticism was met with public humiliation and threats from the Chechen people, mainly Kadyrov’s fighters and cronies. UFC lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, WSOF flyweight champion Magomed Bibulatov, Akhmat MMA president Abuzayed Vismuradov, and others all had choice words for Fedor for his decision to stand against them.

...

One of Kadyrov’s closest allies, State Duma rep Adam Delimkhanov, even threatened that Fedor will be “held responsible for his words against Kadyrov’s children.”


I know Fedor is close buddies with Putin so I'm not really sure why Ramzan and his cronies would call him out.

I don't think they are close friends, I think Putin likes to be around winners, Fedor isn't useful to him other than that.
