Wikipedia must be lying because "Lodune Sincaid" and "Justin McElfresh" cannot possibly be the names of real people.

I wish I could still find the image of some B-league guy's record where he had a bunch of wins over guys with seemingly fake names because they were all off shoots of well name fighters like Greg Maynard, PJ Penn, etc.,

Chandler got handled by Will Brooks in the rematch, who then struggled to get past Ross Pearson and got tko'd in his last fight (by a welterweight after breaking a rib, to be fair). He's good but I'm not sure he's good enough to be top 10 in the UFC.

I think Brooks took the Pearson fight on short notice. I'm willing to chock that performance up to the short notice and maybe UFC debut nervousness.

The cowboy fight was bullshit though, Olivera missed weight by a country mile. I can't really hold that against Brooks. He looked competitive until he broke that rib.

I'm sure brooks will look better when he comes back and is fighting actual lightweights.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
i don't mind brooks as a fighter but other cowboy beat the absolute poo poo out of brooks in a way that had very little to do with six pounds heavy. taking into consideration his performance against ross i'm going to say that ill will is a solid top 15 guy. and i'll stop there.

e: holy poo poo other cowboy isn't even ranked at lw. that will change, but god drat.

Speaking of Guillard he is currently suspended for testing positive for a "non PED" and his way around this is to fight in some bare knuckle boxing thing in the UK

You need haters. Fellas if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of them motherfuckers. If there's any haters in here that don't have nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me

quote:

In an interesting twist, Mitrione stated that he signed his bout agreement "blind," not knowing "The Last Emperor" would be the man standing in front of him come fight night. Since some may have dismissed that notion, "Meathead" appeared on "The MMA Hour" to confirm that he had no clue he was going to face Emelianenko until that night he shook his hand.

"They approached me and said, ‘We have an interesting concept for you.’ So I said, ‘Okay, what’s that?’ So they said, ‘We’re going to offer you a fight, we have an opponent in mind and we’re not going to tell you who, where or when. But, we think you’re down enough to do it,’" he explained.


can anyone think of a legitimate reason for doing this?

it's as good a guess as anything, but seriously who cares enough to even write up a new contract like that. it sounds like someone heard how matchmaking used to work in japan and was trying to emulate it but in a seriously lame way

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.

DumbWhiteGuy posted:

Yeah, it's a lie. Meathead had actually said he was fighting Fedor weeks ago and deleted it, Meltzer brought it up.

I guess Rizin just(?) announced veteran pro wrestler/judoka Shinobu Kandori vs. Gabi Garcia for the New Years Eve show.


they already call Kandori "the Strongest Man in Women's Wrestling" so I'm afraid the jokes have already been made
