And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Cro-cop? What the hell? I thought he was (as good as) dead. He's fighting a dude who's old enough to be his older brother.

Edit: My first ever Rowdy Ringsports post outside of UFC threads. The end of an era, and probably not the beginning of another one, because I don't have anything worthwhile to say.

she did not, she was publicly shamed on the 29th in a carny pro-wrestling segment and her comeback will happen sometime 2018

It is his annual retirement fight in Rizin.

Having an intermission unexpectedly last an hour and filling it with an endless Frank Trigg monologue is essentially a war crime.

Horiguchi should be in the UFC, Tenshin shouldn't be on the biggest media stage for a kickboxer in Japan fighting no hopers from REBELS or amateur boxers. The Takeru fight will never happen but he should fight Yoshiki Takei

The intro alone makes it worth it. Granted that and the first fight was all I saw before passing out so I’ll be watching it later in between deep frying food for NYE.

Oh any footage of Sapp and the Bear emerge yet?

I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
Rizin would be perfect if RENA won and the intermissions weren't six hours long.

Yeah, the experience of that Rizin card would be way more enjoyable if you watched it after the fact with the inexplicable 90-minute intermission cut out. And maybe just skip Cro-Cop/TK which was basically a stand-in Gabi Garcia grandma fight.

Was it Frank Trigg that called the hispanic fighter "the good kind of mexican, not the stabbing kind" or was that another dipshit?

I do remember Frank Trigg calling a fight with blatant white supremacist tattoos on and him being like "I gotta teach this kid." I think it was one of the Strikeforce pre-shows that have probably been lost to the ages.

It was Pat Miletich who wanted to suck off the guy with ss tattoos that got his rear end beat, however your general point that Frank Trigg must be tried at Nuremberg and hanged for his crimes is broadly correct

I'm pretty sure the weirdly racist commentator was Joe Warren, who also joked about Cro-Cop being a pedophile and talked about visiting Japanese prostitutes when he thought they weren't broadcasting.

After some further thought, I believe you are thinking of the time Mike Kogan's phone got hacked and he said Antonio Banuelos listens to Cure and doesn't know how to cut grass on commentary. To the best of my knowledge, Frank Trigg merely strangled his wife and is wanted by The Hague for the Misaki "fight"

I was going to make a post in the ufc thread about how pointless having cyborg fights is and maybe they should just have her fight gabi garcia for the steroid golem of the world championship. Then I checked gabi garcia is google quickly to make sure I hadn't said anything too mean and discovered she came in 12kg over weight to fight a japanese grandmother who used to be a pro-wrestler. How does japan keep doing this.

was this the white supremacist who turned out to be a convicted child rapist or was strikeforce just really good at picking them?
