Rizin was throwing out Alpha Female(pro wrestler turned eurotrash mma freakshow fighter) after Gabi caused a joshi grandma riot.

I will enjoy that fight because I love Gabi and her cranestyle.

But her wins will take her to the ultimate jwMMA endboss:

Which you have to guess with how she came out after Gabi's fight they are going to fight.

And here's a fight of hers.

She is a weird combination of Gabi and Bec Rawlings.

e. and Kimbo, in that she wins her fight when her opponent is too tired to stand/live.

Easy matchup for Chael, imo. He'd never let Wanderlei get too close.

Bellator will soon make a bid for one high-profile UFC free agent. But its interest in another apparently has waned.

The Viacom-owned promotion will make light heavyweight Ryan Bader (22-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) an offer within the next two weeks, according to a senior Bellator official.

The fighter currently is within the matching period of his UFC deal, meaning the industry-leading promotion has the right to match any offer made by another promoter.

Meanwhile, negotiations have come to a halt over welterweight Lorenz Larkin after the two sides could not agree on his asking price, the official said.

Coker's sending out another warning shot to guys running their price up in negotiations like when he released Jake Shields, all with the same end goal of running a lean company with a skeleton crew so all the savings can be paid to Fedor to lose fights nobody wants to see

Rizin is hype. I just watched Rizin 4 where the guy comes out in glowing pants and beats on a huge drum. This really brings back memories of watching Pride a decade ago with all these huge fighters.

Edit: Also this dragon trophy and belt owns

it's kind of a mix of 1994 ufc (styles vs styles with ridiculous tma stuff, one night tournaments) sumo (you can win by racking up enough ring outs) and modern mma (ground work is allowed but with the never used elitexc timer, rounds, etc)

also just because he fought again here's one of the most beautifully stupid fights ever

Two decades later, Evangelista Santos’ MMA career has come to an end.

The Brazilian striker, who competed for some of the biggest promotions in the world during his 50-fight career, told MMA Fighting on Monday that he won’t enter a cage anymore.

"Cyborg" last competed in July of 2016, when Michael Page landed a vicious flying knee that fractured the Santos’ skull at Bellator 158. After the surgery, the Brazilian said he was planning on coming back and fighting a few more times, but decided not to risk his health.

“I'm feeling really well, never felt anything (after the surgery), but I don’t think I will fight again,” Santos told MMA Fighting. “I don’t want to risk getting an aftereffect for the rest of my life and don’t be able to pass on my knowledge, and give work to my family.”

Good.

Good.

Thank God. I've never had any reason to like Cyborg, and whenever he comes up I recall him and his wife tampering with the scales to get her under weight to maul a tiny Japanese woman, but I didn't really want him to die.
