That is spectacular.



I particularly like how dude dropped his hands, ducked into the kick, AND froze in place so it would be certain to hit him. Put his own head on a tee. Flawless technique.

It's the way I'm leaning. His only legitimate recent-ish loss is to Rothwell, and Rothwell - especially roided - would steamroll that tournament. Nelson has faded a ton since they fought, and Meathead has improved.

Though I'd not be entirely shocked if Mir ate a bunch of wild-caught organic kangaroo meat and showed up looking like his old self. Nobody in that field would have anything for a good version of Mir.

I agree. I'd love Mir to have some magic left in him. If Fedor murks him, he's making it to the finals easily. Chael will gas trying to take down fedor and rampage is far too slow imo.

I feel like the Fedor who got murked by Mitrione and needed to own the entire athletic commission to eek out a split decision over Fabio Maldonado should lose to even this dusty version of Mir, but you are right its a winnable fight for both guys. I think the winner of that fight will fight either Mitrione or Bader in the final if it all goes without a hitch, but realistically we will see a double alternate bout between Rory Mac and a tasteful but affordable memorial wreath for Kimbo Slice

the funny brazilian loss meme but this time it’s Matt Mitrione saying the only reason he lost to Nelson the first time was Joe Silva tricking him into fighting in the WEC cage https://www.mmafighting.com/2017/11/27/16706620/joe-silva-responds-to-matt-mitriones-claim-that-silva-lied-about-roy-nelson-fight

its not hard to trick Mitrione. I figured he's lived long enough to let that sink in.

Still a funny story, tho.

I can remember without looking that it was in a small cage. I don't know why that fact stands out in my memory, but "Holy poo poo these fat dudes are basically fighting in a hot tub and lol Shitrione is out" pretty much has its own entry.

“To say I lied says I did it with intention,” Silva said. “Even if I knew the dimensions, with everything we had going on, with so many shows and so many fights to make and so many guys falling out, if I was this evil genius, why would I go out of my way to stick it to Matt Mitrione of all things?”

There's some insane kickboxing politics fuckery going on. Just going to quote this wholesale from Karaevfan, a valued member of the kickboxing illuminati forum:

quote:

Tenshin's opponent will be determined from volunteers (RIZIN is accepting submissions till December 4th on its site). The interesting thing here is to see if any K-1 Japan fighters are willing to try it out. Takeru vs Tenshin for NYE got shot down when Takada suggested it earlier this year, so I guess RIZIN is out of ideas or goading K-1 into it.
