Cruickshank is an example of how this sport has room for several levels of televised mma and I hope things shake out so that we get/keep them.

it'll be interesting to see how the ufc weighs having a branded big time minor league with not wanting to be seen as a monopoly. there will always be a japan org and a bellator/strikeforce like org but I doubt they make a move to create a unified b league now that they can air everything on fight pass.

and really if you listen to lorenzo talk about it, they've kinda done it already with fight pass and their tv cards. all the poo poo we bitch about w/r/t no one knowing who half the card is anymore is a lot to do with them basically running what would have been a minor league years ago under the ufc name now.

I'M A BIG STUPID IDIOT WHO GETS TRIGGERED FROM THE WORDS SPORTS BALL AND HAS SHIT OPINIONS ABOUT CARD GAMES. ALSO I SAID I WAS GOING TO QUIT HEARTHSTONE OUT OF SPITE OF A TAIWANESE WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP SO REPORT ME IF YOU SEE ME POST IN A HS THREAD
That's bad though because it creates a situation where I don't care about the 19th best guy at 155 or whatever, but I would have cared about the second best guy in Battle Arena: No Limits: Maine.

Caol Uno had his first fight in Shooto in 1996, and he's fighting again next month.

Remember this? According to sherdog, Uno is scheduled to fight in five days on SHOOTO - MOBSTYLES PRESENTS FIGHT & MOSH. If that actually happens, Uno's active fighting career will have officially spanned twenty years, during which there is not a single year in which he did not fight. That is absolutely flabbergasting.

Vitor hits the 20 year mark in October and has only had one inactive year due to steroids and title shot timing.

There's a large amount of catchweights (or unusual weight classes) on that card.

That is crazy as gently caress.


Also I went back and watched the rest of the one fc card from this weekend just gone. Outside of Askren being boring as gently caress that card was pretty great in terms of wild brawls. Some of those fringe guys aint got a lot of cardio and the best grappling acumen but loving hell do they throw hard all the time.
