hahahaha, the plexiglass power struggle against a bear while he has food strapped to him and the football match against 100 children actually looks awesome. i heard they were doing another bullshit k-1 rules sparring match with masato and kohi but this looks way better

yea he probably has one of the most interesting perspectives in the sport with how vast & intricate his role with ufc was but he hates doing stuff like that probably for good reason.
I couldn't believe i saw him in the airport right after ufc 204 and couldn't think of a decent question but I had been up like 24hr+ by that point and was just like Buhhhh Hello i'm normal, hehe.

as part of a thing for college years ago i had to connect with foreign exchange students from Japan and Korea, and the easiest way to do that with Japanese students was to talk about our shared love for " Bobbu Sappu " and Mark Hunt. it was a lot of fun. we watched TKZ-Poirier with the koreans and that was a real fun thing to do too

It sadly doesn't surprise me that a dude like Bob Sapp who was/is a steroid elemental, has taken a lot of punishment even before throwing fights is probably a bit hosed in the head. It goes hand in hand with combat sports, it seems.

Same. Hopefully he does a book or something. It wouldn't sell at all because only like 500 people know who he is but I really want to know how that dude sees things.

I would read the poo poo out of a Joe Silva book. I wouldn't even want a tell-all or whatever, just his insights into the fight game. There's probably no one on the planet who has watched as much MMA as he has.

I want to see Sapp get tapped out by a bear. I know he’s garbage, but I can’t help it. Also man is clearly gaming the system now, so good for him.

I may even try and create an op, but I doubt I’ll be able to do much besides just copy and paste from the Rizin FB page.

Can't blame Sapp for making a hustle. If people are going to keep giving him money for throwing fights or doing crazy stunts with bears in plexiglass boxes, he'd be a fool to turn it down.

Yeah, I mean it’s not like he’s done anything to not deserve some easy paydays. Plus it usually gets other people paydays too as Willie pointed out.

Yup, that bear’ll never want for anything again. Nor his children, and their children.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

bad is probably unfair, cool stuff is probably going to happen in a bunch of fights like Gomi's opponent getting a legal kill on Indian soil, and Kitaoka vs Japanese Dave Strasser could actually be a really good grappling match. But it's punctuated with fights with extreme badness potential like another Gabi Garcia fight, Cindy Dandois, and a promotional tie in fight with the upcoming animated feature film "Early Man".

Outside of the bwgp there's nothing that looks meaningful in any way, just a load of stuff happening for no reason that nobody cares about

Apropos of not much at all, Cindy Dandois won her last fight by virtue of her bosoms being too heavy for her opponent to get up, and the referee decided that counted as a stoppage.

The Gabi Garcia Grandma Executions are up there with fights where the ref lets a concussed and defenseless person get punched thirty times in terms of making me feel profoundly uncomfortable with the dumb thing I've chosen to watch.

But thankfully RIzin has decided to help me out by also booking Gomi/Yachi so I can have that overwhelming sense of dread for both cards.

I'm not necessarily proud of this but I'm gonna leave it here anyways.
Gabi Garcia's career would be much more of a travesty if she was the murderous bulldozer she appears to be at a glance. She's barely beating these grandmas with wholly unrefined brute strength and laughable technique and they're usually left none the worse for wear despite the apparently awful mismatch they were in.
