Siver lost to an 800,000 year old Kawajiri, 2 years ago

I'd be pretty confident in an 800,002 year old Kawajiri beating BJ Penn

I think Penn was just crazy out matched by a young and really good up and comer in Yair.

Siver experienced a similar defeat against a young and talented McGregor.

I think it will be a better fight than people expect.

I don't know about "better".

"Closer" or "more competitive", possible.

Since when did Siver become this scary guy that might seriously hurt another old but much better fighter?

Edit: He's loving 38, has had more fights than BJ and won't be able to juice as much as he used to.

He lands that spinning back kick roughly once per fight, and BJ could totally have fatty liver disease and get flattened by a body shot.

I think BJ just took such a savage beating from Yair that to some people it looks like he can't fight at all anymore, but I think he was just hopelessly outmatched there and the UFC sacrificed him to build up Yair.

Siver seems like the kind of match up he should be getting in the first place, and at one point I think they were supposed to fight at 199.

Oh. Duh. Rockhold is skipping LHW because he thinks he would of course have to face up with (and probably beat up) his friend DC.

I don't know that I'm right but if I am it's pretty funny.

rockhold got mad at someone for minor meathead reasons, he's not fighting at heavyweight and he doesn't have a deeply considered plan revolving around gym politics to do so

Rockhold's thing would normally be a single MMAjunkie headline that gets swept under in favor of Bellator Books Royce Gracie vs Bas Rutten or something, but it's just slightly more plausible than it used to be because the recent WME-IMG management choices make dumb poo poo like that more acceptable than they used to be, particularly if you're a top-ranked middleweight who knows no one's getting a title shot for another year and a half.

also BJ's probably gonna beat Siver and this cycle will start all over

I don't really think it's a dining philosphers problem for choosing a weightclass but I wouldn't be surprised if he went up to HW. MW seems to be a bit of a logjam atm and full of killers at the top.

Jerry Millen courted him for a long time and he signed with Rizin saying that they showed him a lot of respect etc, then when they booked him a fight he dropped off the face of the Earth for a custody court case and in another show of respect Sakakibara called him a massive bitch

Signed with Rizin, tried to debut on the Dec 29 card but later withdrew

Also

quote:

On October 15, 2016, Carwin participated in a boxing exhibition match against professional skateboarder Jason Ellis at EllisMania 13. Per the unique rules, Carwin literally had one of his arms duct-taped to his body to box Ellis. He won the bout via knockout in the second round.

If you can't beat Joseph Benavidez you won't beat Mighty Mouse. I don't know why they're giving this kind of fight to Nguyen but maybe he was the only one who would accept the fight (featherweight is shook).

I'm glad they are though as opposed to rushing everyone to MM as quickly as possible. Even if (and likely will) he loses to Joe B it'll be great fight experience for him.
