Rumble's been in a lot of the non-Japan size-disparity travesties. I will never forget the look of abject terror on Yoshiyuki Yoshida's face before Rumble splattered the contents of his skull all over the place. :ohdear:

I'm surprised he actually stayed retired given the state of LHW. The UFC should offer him a boatload of money to come back. If nothing else, his fights are a spectacle.

For serioustalk, my wife and I have a complete plan drawn up for opening a dispensary if they legalise it in Australia. I've already sent out tentative feelers to suppliers in the US who are more than willing to airfreight us supply while the local growers get their operations off the ground.

They legalized where I live (lived, I guess) 2 years ago and it's insane how fast they spring up... Kind of risky business (one got fined out of existence a few months ago cause their edibles didn't have accurate measurements) but it's good money and the demand exists for sure....

If my health was on point, I'd have opened one in Oregon a year ago. There is no reason to let this rush pass you buy if you have something to invest. Good on Rumble.

quote:

Bellator MMA’s tape-delayed nightmare is no more.

The promotion has agreed to terms on a new five-year, “nine-figure” distribution deal with online streaming service DAZN, Bellator officials announced Tuesday at a press conference at Viacom’s New York headquarters.

The partnership will see Bellator air seven events per year exclusively on DAZN, plus an additional 15 events that will be simulcast in the United States on both Paramount Network and DAZN. Events that air via tape delay on Paramount Network will nonetheless be streamed live on DAZN.

“This exciting new partnership with DAZN is a game-changer for Bellator,” Bellator President Scott Coker stated in a press release. “The investment will enable us to continue expanding our roster with free agents that make sense so we can put on pay-per-view-worthy fight cards that fans will want to see. Plus, on DAZN’s worldwide platform, our fights will be seen live for the first time to new audiences around the globe.”

The deal is slated to launch with the September 29 event in San Jose that features a champion vs. champion superfight between Gegard Mousasi and Rory MacDonald, a fourth match between MMA legends Wanderlei Silva and Quinton Jackson, plus the start of Bellator’s upcoming welterweight grand prix. That event will air exclusively on DAZN.

DAZN’s deal with Bellator follows a similar partnership the Perform Group-owned streaming service inked last month with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing promotion worth a reported $1 billion over eight years. That deal will see DAZN stream 32 boxing cards per year on its platform, and combined with the Bellator partnership, DAZN could soon become a viable new player in the combat sports space.

“From launch, you’re going to have access to a premium, prime boxing fight night or a premium, prime MMA fight every single week of the year,” DAZN CEO James Rushton said Tuesday in New York. “I think it’s fair to say, from launch, DAZN will be a must-have for combat fight fans, and we’re excited. We take on that challenge of disrupting a market, of disrupting an industry, of disrupting and helping grow a sport."

Coker learned something from Strikeforce! Bellator's love of hasbeen freakshow fights might actually carry that dumb network enough that if they lose the Paramount slot(doubtful) he'll have a place to keep Bellator visible.

it's hard to tell exactly how good this is because of the lack of specific numbers, but it seems like a good move for Bellator and a really awful move by some rich guys that own this streaming service. Imagine paying 1 billion over 8 years for boxing??

On their website: "DAZN is currently available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Canada and Japan." so it is not looking good. I'm going to guess its a rights issue. Is Bellator on TV in the UK in some way?

I was reading up on them a bit. Turns out if you take steroids and do no exercise, you're likely to gain more muscle over a certain time frame than someone who exercises but has no steroids. Kind of insane
