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.

The current featherweight champion is one of the greatest fighters of all time in being an all-rounder who is great at literally everything. He's like a smaller GSP. TKZ fighting him is about what you'd think from a TKZ v GSP fight going like.

Liz Carmouche rules, Jonathan Haggerty punched a man a lot, and I hope Kyoji Horiguchi got to eat a nice meal.

Also as a forewarning, thanks to the various fight cancellations (we're down to 11!) the UFC now starts a half hour later at 1:30. In case you're afraid of missing Brady Hiestand.

If you scrub right after Nate throws the knee, you can see daylight between his shoulder and the guy’s neck.

KNOCK OUT had a not-particularly-notable show this morning, except for that Certified Beast and criminal Panchan Rina was back in the ring continuing her career after her December 2022 arrest for selling the forged Tenshin/Takeru autographed poster to a mark. But KNOCK OUT posted it to Youtube already so you can watch it.

All the details here about which fights to watch here:

yeah the entire internet going "209 motherfucker 209" over footage of trained fighter Nate Diaz choking out and concrete-dropping a man who is very visibly making the universal sign of 'I do not want to fight you' sure is one of those reminders of why I never got into the Diaz fanbase

Anyone wanna bet on tonight's card? I got Bobby Green (-270), Matthew Semelsberger (-105 coinflip) and Christos Giagos (+130) to win, pick one or best 2 out of 3, loser gets this as their avatar until next PPV:

For UFC, Carl uses the :piss: rating system to denote what should be good fights. For this one, it's Wells vs Semelsberger, Tavares vs Silva, and Blaydes vs Pavlovich

If you're going to watch Bellator, I'd say Macfarlane vs Watanabe and Stots vs Mix are the top choices

Weirdly enough the winner of tonight's main event has a pretty strong claim to be the best active heavyweight in the world, at least til Ngannou gets off the shelf.

I can't decide if it looks like Diaz clinches with him to choke him after he grabs his hands or if the dude goes to drive him against the wall, its hard to see without the whole video and there's people in the way.

Either way getting into fights without getting paid is dumb and dangerous and bad.

Curtis Blaydes will never fight for a championship, Ryan Garcia will never recover, and Danny Sabatello will get another shot at a Bellator belt before Raufeon Stots does.

I kind of feel that an illegal blow thrown with good intentions, isn't illegal? I'm thinking of jon Jones spinning elbow he landed on Bonnar, which hit Stephen square in the back of the head

Intentions are the difference between a DQ and an NC in the event that an illegal strike leads to a finish.

There are some arcane guidelines on back of the head strikes where they only count as a foul if you're hitting an essentially immobilized opponent. If you throw a strike at distance at a moving opponent and it hits the back of the head, well there's not much that can ben done about that. If you have inside wrist on a turtling opponent....

CarlCX
Dec 14, 2003

Some part of this is also the context of the illegal blow. A spinning elbow isn't an attack that would be inherently illegal in almost any circumstance, but a lot of the things we see semi-regularly--groin kicks, grounded knees, kicks while an opponent is grounded--are at best done as misguided weapons and at worst done without regard for the rules period. In Green's case he was trying to do something legal but he did it by turning himself into a skull torpedo, so, y'know, no one to blame but himself.

Unrelatedly, here's my personal annoyance hot take re: Patchy Mix, which has nothing to do with him doing anything wrong or that knockout not being badass as gently caress: If an interim championship is around long enough to get defended it's deeply silly and if an interim championship is around long enough to get defended multiple times and passed around to different people it's loving stupid.

1) slap league stuff sucks

2) the Greene headbutt was different than the Curtis one because the Greene one led to a tko and the Curtis one didn't. If Curtis had a complaint he shouldn't have answered the bell in the next round. He wanted to keep fighting instead, so it's on him.
