Bonjasky had eye surgery in like 2009 to fix his eye and then didn't fight for 3 years, but I guess he didn't consider that to be retirement since he had some fights in 2012 and 2013. He finally actually retired in early 2014 after beating Cro Cop. As much as any fighter (or pro wrestler) really retires.

E: Wait no that'd make Melvin Apollo Creed, which he is not. Unless Remy lands a head kick in which case he'll be Apollo Creed in Rocky 4.

It's still being negotiated but what a stupid and terrible idea. I'm sure the Guangzhou audience will go absolutely wild for Nazi experiment Vs Frankenstein's monster. It does nothing for anybody and is delaying somebody's chemo lol

So I was reading this article about the mental maturation of this hothead Serbian soccer player and stumbled across this great quote.quote:football saved him from a life he would rather not imagine. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4766100/Newcastle-s-Aleksandar-Mitrovic-insists-grown.html

Kickboxing's lust for death makes full bloodlust era PRIDE look like a class on hugging and caring for one another. Sometimes i feel bad for being an NFL fan as these guys are sacrificing their later years for my enjoyment and then I remember I also watch a sport which is going to be hosting multiple death matches in the coming months .

They want to keep Rico busy and get him a spectacular finish because he basically never finishes anyone, so they brought in a brain-dead monster from a different sport. I hope it goes to a decision.

For some reason this 🗿 vs Verhoeven match has been on my mind for the whole day. Its just so pointless. And to top the poo poo sandwich i just saw this interview with Silvas manager. quote:
And just to cap of this sadness here is a grim reality of what is waiting him in the future. quote:
Here is Gary talking about his life with CTE https://youtu.be/S5OUt53-6YM TheCool69 fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Aug 19, 2017 |

The worst Gary Goodridge story I ever heard was on the day he fought Pat Barry, somebody recognised him, approached him and said he was looking forward to watching him fight later. Gary had no idea he was fighting. Just thought I'd darken your day

Did Goodridge have a pre-existing health condition? He seems way more legit punchy than, well, anyone ever. (From not boxing combat sports)

brain damage can manifest in all kinds of ways, it really depends which parts of the brain are damaged. my dad has taken a few since he used to race bikes in the days before helmets were compulsory and his memory is pretty bad too, nowhere near that bad though. on the other hand hes a very happy person and he hasnt had any emotional problems or anything like that but in some cases one hard whack can turn people into serial killers

I talked to Gary about butts on twitter, that was pretty cool. But mostly he tweets inspirational things.

The landscape is so fractured it'll probably never happen, but Noiri is definitely big enough for lightweight and there are some incredible fights for him there

this is just the clip of mark hunt killing jlb and i realise that everyone reading this thread has seen it a million times but personally i can't remember seeing a version with such excellent quality video and sound. the sound of the crowd when hunt takes him out might be one of the best crowd reaction sounds in combat sports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0VklykiAk4

Next couple of K-1 events aren't looking so hot: Up first on the 18th there's a 67kg tournament quote:Primary Welterweight Tournament They tried to get Qiu Jianliang in the tournament but he turned it down, also Taiga was supposed to have a better opponent but he had to pull out after getting injured pulling someone out of a burning car. Melsik is probably going to take the tournament if his shoulder is back up to speed. On the 23rd of November there's a "heavyweight" tournament which unfortunately still keeps the 4 foreigners and 4 Japanese format, and you have to plumb some loving depths to find 4 Japanese heavyweights. The card isn't finalised but the tournament is: quote:Heavyweight Tournament However they're finding a way to make it fun, per karaevfan over at Kakutougi: quote:One fun thing. Glory has a decent card in Amsterdam on the 30th of September, Robin van Roosmalen vs Serhiy Adamchuk and Nieky Holzken vs Alim Nabiyev. Hesdy Gerges is on the undercard and there's another pointless tournament too. Also a general roundup of stuff: There was a small regional K-1 event that hosted fights for Peter Aerts' son and daughter, they both won. Takeru is featured in a movie where the plot is that a string of unfortunate events results in an actor having to fight Takeru Krush 80 was held today or yesterday but nothing good has come out yet

K-1 is on tomorrow, if you have a VPN or other on line treachery it should be here: https://abema.tv/now-on-air/fighting-sports From what I can tell the show should be starting at 1:30am Eastern/6:30am UK time but there might be some child fights before that time. In Japan they're broadcasting from 10:30am to 9pm, which is nuts.
