lol not sure if this has been posted but after Dana's whole "flags are back, people are too soft nowadays", they apparently didn't allow Khamzat and possibly Islam to walk to the ring with a Palestine flag?

 B-League Round-Up Invicta FC 54: McCormack vs Wojcik Oh hello. Is it time for your quarterly Invicta check-in already? Time sure does fly, doesn’t it? Let’s see what the premier all-women’s MMA organization has on store for this card. Danni “Mac” McCormack defends the Strawweight title against Karolina Wojcik. This is a very surprising fight, mostly for the fact that McCormack has not yet dropped the belt in the trash en route to a UFC contract. I mean, she’s Irish and everything! Danni took the belt against me-favorite “Tina Black” Valesca Machado back in March by a solid unanimous decision. On that same card, Wojcik was edging out Ediana Silva by split decision, one fight removed from losing in a vacant title bout against Machado in 2022. In the co-main event Valesca Machado (Everyone simply cannot stop talking about her because I won’t let them!) takes on Kalindra Faria. Faria was last seen on the global stage losing to triangle armbar to Joanne Wood in 2018, and last notched a victory over a then 3-0 Dina da Silva in 2022. Hopefully Shannon Knapp has read my letters that say “let tina black beat people up more” and this is her answer. The rest of the card is solid enough. Kristina “Warhorse” Williams looks to rule rear end over Combate Global legend Dee Begley. Hilarie Rose brings a 6-6 record, with those six wins coming over fighters who are currently a combined 9-28 up against 3-2 Andrea Amarao (Those 3 ladies are 4-13 right now. Yeeps!) Riley Martinez takes on the accomplished judoka, German sumo champion and TV news presenter Julia Dorny. I am so glad I got to type that last sentence, MMA is so weird. The card starts off with “Sweet” Maria Djukic taking on Fernanda Araujo. Araujo is only 2-3 as a pro, but she has amateur fights with Pam Sorenson and Peggy Morgan dating back ten years ago. You may remember Peggy Morgan from TUF 18 (to quote Carl, JESUS CHRIST)

I'm not a podcast person but I'm a longtime fan of Rampage and Cain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzOwJp4Jh5k&t=50s Cain gets into the prison stint a little bit, but I just appreciate all the details. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Oct 24, 2023 |

Dan Henderson is on the JRE and aside from some boring stuff about bow hunting at the start its pretty much Henderson telling war stories about wrecking world class fighters with like 2 weeks notice and its pretty great.

I'm guessing they offered Stipe an easy interim title fight so he could have a belt for when they remake the Bones fight next year to put some shine on it as though unification means anything and he told them to gently caress off. Also no one wants to see Bones versus Pavlovich or Aspinall so when Jones is back and they set him back up with Miocic, it further under values their interim title. 10/10 business decision really.

I'd put the odds pretty high Pavlovich/Aspinall is to crown whoever takes over after Jones/Miocic ends in double retirement.

moctopus posted:I do not care about Jones v Stipe in 2023 at all. It's the only even remotely interesting fight Jones has in the division now Ngannou is out getting paid and like you say, it's not especially easy to care for. Ngannou Jones was only interesting because the chances of Jones getting violently switched off was in the realm of possibility, even if very unlikely. If they were to give Derrick a red panty night against Jones I'd be okay with that though. Especially if he Derrick Lewis'd and won somehow.

FishBowlRobot posted:So Stipe can continue to decay Get Stipe on the Rogan/Dana mutant protocol. This fight feels like a test case for me -- I'm against steroid use, but in the absence of attempts at legitimate testing or controls, I'm definitely ok with people upping their juice (whether from 0 or not) when fighting known dopers.

coathat posted:How is stipe the only interesting fight for jones? Do you think he's cleared out the division with a single fight? With how much he's been talking about retirement soon even before this injury (another major one for him, and ensuring he can't even try to fight again until he's 37), it's unlikely he's accepting a fight he sincerely believes he'll lose for what is probably his final fight. In terms of fights that leaves open (a scrub, Ngannou which ain't happening, the interim scrub winner, and Miocic), Miocic's closest to what'll happen that could result in Jon losing, but also even older and even more banged up than Jon, but also that makes a loss funnier

Josuke Higashikata posted:Heavyweight is in a very bad state It's not though, Jones has fought one guy in the top 5, I'd like to see him fight all the others with Stipe probably being the least interesting fight given his age. Yes the division still has a bunch of fat one trick ponies but it's not like they JDS / Cain days when there were no options for title fights.
