And to make matters weirder, Tenshin’s last bunch of fights have gone the distance. My 100% casual speculation is he’s lost a step due to putting too much time into boxing. I think Takeru will hand him his first loss and a T/KO at that. But I would have said that any way, I just like Takeru’s fighting more to begin with.

Yeah I think Takeru will absolutely mess him up. That exhibition with Taito was cool though, I’d like to see that fight

yeah pretty much all the fyads fell off at some point and rheinhold might be lost in the boreal forrest of northern canadar for all i know. plenty of folks have me coming back but it wasn't what it once was. speaking of, please read my screenplay: Wasn't What It What Once - The Life and Downfall of Richard Kyanka

Yeah, like, aside from that I am terrible at shitposting there is a reason I try to go information and discussion-heavy, we already had our shitposting golden age, the shitposters have passed into legend and now rather than having prominent shitposting quality our main feature as a location for MMA discussion is it being one of the precious few forums left to do it that isn't also one of the worst places on the internet.

He's still in Sacramento with Team Alpha Male, he took the start of the pandemic off and came back to the regionals last year and has still not won a fight since 2017. He mostly posts stuff on instagram of constant, mostly-nude Team Alpha Male hangouts.



He seems happy.

Ah, thanks. Sucks that he’s still on a losing streak but at least he’s in good spirits with his shirtless family.

K-1 K'Festa 5 Update

I don't see the full show posted because I am at the whims of Chinese Youtube (also no files for Rise El Dorado yet), but at least someone posted a big chunk of it:
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Jr4y1s7nQ
This file contains the first 13 fights out of the 21 fight show, and contains 11 fights with downs and 10 finishes. So if you are liberal with your "skip forward 30 seconds" finger, it's an extremely easy watch that I recommend.
These fights are on that file, bottom to top:
code:
Open Weight GP Semi-Final 2
Open Weight GP Semi-Final 1
Kongnapa Weerasakreck vs. Shoya Suzuki (Light)
Shintaro Matsukura vs. Julio Cesar Mori (75kg/165lb)
Yuki Takeuchi vs. Satoru Nariai (61kg/134lb)
Kenta Hayashi vs. Hayato Suzuki (Super Light)
Fukashi Mizutani vs. Ruku Kojima (Super Light)

Open Weight GP Opening Round
4: K-Jee vs. Mahmoud Sattari
3: Kyotaro Fujimoto vs. Hidenori Sakamoto
2: Satoshi Ishii vs. Kosuke Jitsukata
1: Koji Shikuwa vs. Seiya Tanigawa
Reserve: Hisaki Kato vs. Ryo Aitaka

Rui Hanazawa vs. Ryunosuke Hoshi (Open)
DO NOT READ THIS SPOILER UNTIL AFTER YOU WATCH THE FIRST ROUND OF THE GRAND PRIX: Satoshi Ishii gets a rib injury in his round 1 win and withdraws, so Semi-Final 1 contains the winner of the Reserve fight.

My specific fight recommendation from that file is this:
Kenta Hayashi (20-8-2, 14 KO) vs. Hayato Suzuki (10-7-1, 6 KO) (Super Light)
Hayashi is a former K-1 lightweight champion, and won the 2018 lightweight grand prix. Suzuki is a former Krush super lightweight champion, but is on a three fight losing streak and hasn't won since October 2020. Very competitive and entertaining.
When researching this write-up I can see per K-1's website that Hayashi's entrance music is "Dead & Gone" by T.I. featuring Justin Timberlake and Suzuki's entrance song is "I Get Lonely" by KEIJU.

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.

back when they wrestled probably but those guys have been doing steroids and pro wrestling for years, there's no way they have the mechanics or flexibility anymore

So much so that "the UFC is suddenly going to Singapore for the first time and in a format that means they're locking down as much regional top talent as possible" feels pretty impossible to not see as the UFC trying to step on ONE.
