Rickels was good in a high cardio, super active kind of way but he had a string of injuries in 2013 and I don't think he ever recovered

Rickels also always has inexplicably intense crowd support

Aside from the shady commission, Bellator's only other reason to go to Mulvane is because they have Rickels. His house is a 5 minute drive from the venue so everyone around knows him and just putting him on a card there ensures a good gate. He's basically the only fighter in Bellator that can sell out a venue. Also most people seem to come only for him, because win or lose half the crowd just leaves after his fight is over, whether or not he was in the main event, which give some insight into how little Bellator attendees actually care about Bellator's "good" fighters. Probably the reason that they fill their prelims with locals that no one outside the area has ever heard of and run more postliminary fights after the main event ends.

I don't know where else to put this but Keith Jardine has a bit part in Inherent Vice that I didn't realize until just now. More people need to know this.

I posted about it when the movie was new (I'm a Pynchon reader so I was like one of six people who was super eager to see it) . He's pretty good and has a few lines.

Like i said, they were once close pals or something and then some stupid bjj specific supp drama happened

Reminder that Invicta is tomorrow on fight pass, although it just lost its co-main. Headliner is Alexa Grasso though (who I could have sworn the UFC signed but I guess she has been injured for ages and so is fighting in Invicta again), who seems to be pretty good.

Sucks that Aldana is out, but Grasso is cool and MIZUKI is cool.

Cyborg was moving in straight, so maybe that was enough to keep him conscious throughout.
