He didn't look that bad I think? Augusto either broke a finger or his hand in the first round which limited him and helped Rumble. But not enough to almost finish him in the first.

Rumble said during at the post fight conference he didn't even know that happened to him in the fight.

He faces the champion Nemkov next so that's going to be a test.

This weekend in B-League Action

Thursday

PFL 2021 #4

Featherweights and Lightweights are on tap this Thursday in the PFL SmartCageTM. There will be Russians, guys you think are Russians but aren't actually from Russia, and also a few UFC wash-outs. The top of the card features one of boxing's brightest stars, as "Cassius" Clay Collar looks to continue his winning ways as he faces off against Brazil's Joilton Lutterbach. Oh, also, Claressa Shields makes her MMA debut against Some Lady who is 3-6.

Friday

ONE Championship: Full Blast 2

ONE is airing a lil 4-bout tape delay card. I don't know whom any of these fellas are, but we've got both kickboxing and Muay Thai inside the cage, so that should be neat.

Bellator 260

Bellator is back in front of a live audience! The prelims aren't much to write home about. The "biggest" name is probably Nick Newell, though the best fighter on the prelims might be Ty-wan Claxton, or I'm just convinced he is because he had some good early matchmaking.

Anyway, the main card will see Aaron Pico take on A British Man, I suppose to see if Pico will actually use his vaunted wrestling.

Speaking of wrestling, Paul Daley is also fighting on Friday, taking on Jason "The rear end-Kicking Machine" Jackson in a match that will probably be billed as featuring no wrestling, but I'm sure someone's gonna shoot a desperation double leg at some point.

The main event sees Douglas Lima defend his Welterweight title against the undefeated Yaroslav Amosov. Lima's probably the best non-UFC welterweight around, and while Amosov has an impressive record, I don't think he's got the kind of wins to make me favor him over Lima.

Should be good, though!

Invicta Phoenix Tournament

Invicta's back with another installment of the Phoenix Series one-night tournament. Eight atomweights will face off, with the winner getting a title shot at Alesha Zappitella. The first round bouts will be selected by fan voting, so that's pretty cool!

:siren:e: Forgot to add Invicta's event, whoops! Fixed now:siren:

I get that it's probably all but impossible to find an active fighter, in that weight class, with a winning record, to be the probable stepping stone for a debuting Olympian, but yikes.


Porto/Joanne is scratched because Porto weighed in at 128lbs, but the commission said her heart rate and blood pressure were too high and called a failed physical. Her manager is contesting it, and apparently she's going to be forced up a weight class if she can't prove she can cut weight healthily? That seems like a lot for b-league MMA

Pfl is back tonight. Shields making her mma debut, Pettis was postponed 2 weeks

Shields has moved from like -460 to -265 since earlier this week, probably because of that espn article that was like she's been training mma for 10 minutes and has no idea what to do on the ground

quote:

In early April, Shields participated in her first mixed martial arts sparring session. She admitted she was "afraid" of it.
"Of course, fighting on the ground [was scary]," Shields told ESPN. "Not knowing how to get back up. Not knowing how to keep somebody from grabbing me or not being able to stop somebody from taking me down. Armbars and all of that kind of stuff."

The goal for Shields in that sparring match with teammate Kayla Yontef was to stay standing as long as possible. Shields said Yontef took her down 15 to 20 times during that session. Such is the steep learning curve for a world-class fighter who really only started wrestling, grappling and throwing kicks when she arrived at JacksonWink MMA in early December.

Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in boxing and a three-division boxing champion, said she feels much more comfortable on the ground now as compared to 10 weeks ago. But her strategy when she makes her MMA debut against Brittney Elkin, a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu who has won grappling titles, isn't going to be a huge mystery.

"The game plan is to stay the f--- away from the cage," Shields said. "That's it. Stay in the center."

Shields' coaches indicated she has improved dramatically -- as fast as they have ever seen -- ahead of her debut in the cage on Thursday in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn, two of the top coaches in MMA history, not only believe Shields will do well as a beginner, they think she has a chance to be an all-time great in the sport if she continues to work at it. But it's going to take a lot of work
