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.

If the UFC ever hold an event in Asia featuring Nate Landwehr, I demand that Carl's preview be titled "Never Get Involved In A Landwehr In Asia".

Outstanding preview as usual, Carl!

Getting my ONE Friday Fights preview in at the last second:

ONE Friday Fights 10 - 2022-03-24
Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand

Airs 8:30 AM ET to 12:30 PM ET on Youtube

ONE says that last week, ONE Friday Fights was the “most-viewed Muay Thai event in history.” So, you don’t have to take just my word that it’s a great show, everyone in Thailand is watching it too.

This week’s main event features Yodkritsada battling Theptaksin at 132 lbs. Both are making their ONE Friday Fights debuts. Yodkritsada, known as “The Human Rock,” is 31 years old and already has a 1-1 record in 2023. In 2022 he was 4-2-1, after having no fights in 2021.

Theptaksin was out of pro fighting for a year between October 2021 and November 2022, and is 1-1 since his return. He is 25 years old and is the WMTC 135 lb champion. They were originally set to meet on 2/25 but the fight was delayed because Theptaksin hurt his elbow in his knockout victory over Yodchai on February 1. He says he has been training two months for his first fight with the small gloves as well as his first time doing only 3 rounds.

Notable on the undercard is the return after only three weeks of “I’m Him” Lawrence Phillips, who made a literal impact on the Lumpinee crowd with an 18-second slam knockout of Ben Parker at OFF7.

Part 1

Petklangna vs. Shingo Shibata (MT 145)
Anton Petrov vs. Luca Lombardo (MT 160)
Lawrence Phillips (2-0) vs. Akhmed Baguzhaev (1-0) (MMA 265)
Yu Karino (8-2) vs. Ivan Parshikov (9-3) (MMA 145)
Yod-IQ vs. Samuel Bielen (MT 145)
Chorfah vs. Sherzod Kabutov (MT 136)

Part 2

Thongpoon vs. Tomorrow (MT 118)
Supalek vs. Sonrak (MT 135)
Teeyai vs. Manolis Kallistis (MT 125)
Rak Erawan vs. Chusap (MT 116)
Paedsanlek vs. Panrit (MT 145)
Yodkritsada vs. Theptaksin (MT 132)

The second half of this week's ONE Friday Fights was not aired on Youtube in the US, and was instead aired only on "Fan Duel TV." I had to VPN to Canada to see it. ONE is loving allergic to becoming successful, I swear.

Belated thank yous. It was also art therapy, so hey.

Also Tamires Vidal/Hailey Cowan and Manuel Torres/Trey Ogden are both off tomorrow's card, so we're down to eleven fights and what'll probably be a whole bunch of dead air.

I always thought it was a little odd he only got 3 fights in the UFC. He got two good subs and his only loss was really because of incompetent refereeing. He fought some guys too.

If I remember correctly Genki said in some interviews that he hated the cage and in general was displeased with the UFC, and that was back in the day where Pride and K-1 were getting into bidding wars for national heroes and the UFC's minimum pay was $2k/2k, so that probably ended the possibility real fast.

Yeah I'm not watching that. Fire the ref into the loving sun.

Props to his opponent for actually trying to kill him. I'd have probably stopped after I made him an unconscious sack of meat. And that's why I'm not a loving fighter.

He held and transitioned the sub so long that he woke up from passing out to find himself in an armbar. Unreal.

The dude choking the dude and then breaking his arm is absolutely not the least at fault.

He could have stopped choking the dude when he passed out, and then not have broken the sleeping man's arm.
He's the most at fault, he held all the power to stop and didn't.

Everyone sucks here, but the dude actually doing this is the one with the control.
