New secret Brazilian technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6X3RZJhsvY&t=35s From http://www.mmafighting.com/2013/10/7/4814312/video-mma-fighter-gives-up-jumps-fence-and-runs "Evilasio Silva (8-12) defeated Claudinei Angelo (4-5) at JF Fight Evolution in Juiz de Fora, Brazil, on Oct. 5, but not the way he expected. Angelo (8-12) was controlling the action when Angelo’s mouthpiece fell on the mat. Flavio Almendra, stopped the bout and asked Angelo to get back his mouthpiece. It happened again, and Almendra stopped the bout once again. When Angelo clearly spat his mouthpiece to recover from the punches, the referee refused to stop the fight. Angelo went on and asked for a "time out". Silva and Almendra didn’t understood what he was asking for, but Angelo decided to quit. The door was locked, so his only way out was jumping off the fence and leaving the arena. Video credit: Zona de Attack, Esporte Interativo."

Shannon Knapp has tweeted she will have a full fight announcement coming sometime later today. The card is expected to be fairly large (I would guess 14+ fights). She also stated in an interview several days ago that Invicta is ramping up to do 8-10 events next year, but at this point I'll believe it when I see it. The only 100% confirmed fight for Invicta 7 on December 7th (unless the date's changed) is Carla Esparza (c) vs. Claudia Gadelha in a Strawweight title fight. Also very likely is Barb Honchak (c) vs. Leslie Smith in a Flyweight title fight. Cyborg, Miriam Nakamoto, and Felice Herrig have also stated they will be on the card, although Cyborg was actually expected to kick off Invicta's Lightweight division. There is also possibly a third title fight, although what that is is a bit up in the air since it seems negotiations with Jewels Atomweight Champion Seo Hee Ham to fight Michelle Waterson have fallen through, as Ham is booked for Deep Jewels 2. Finally Shannon Knapp apparently has signed a "second Bellator veteran" other than Felice Herrig. The choices on that really are just Jessica Aguilar (world #1 Strawweight) and Michelle Ould (top 10 Flyweight), probably Aguilar. But anyway a lot of news is about to drop tomorrow on Invicta 7 it seems. Chrom1um fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Oct 11, 2013 |

Invicta 7 has released what may or may not be their full card today, although their may be some streaming prelims added later. And, um, a lot of poo poo that had been rumored (or rather poo poo that came directly from interviews with people including Shannon Knapp) turned out to not be true, but they are indeed going with three title fights: Main Card Flyweight Championship Match: Barb Honchak (c) (8-2) vs. Leslie Smith (6-3-1) Strawweight Championship Match: Carla Esparza (9-2) (c) vs. Claudia Gadelha (11-0) Inaugural Bantamweight Championship Match: Lauren Strawweight Match: Felice Herrig (9-4) vs. Tecia Torres (3-0) Strawweight Match: Joanne Calderwood (7-0) vs. Katja Kankaanpaa (8-0-1) Featherweight Match: Julia Budd (5-2) vs. Charmaine Tweet (4-3) Flyweight Match: Zoila Frausto Gurgel (12-3) vs. Vanessa Porto (15-6) Bantamweight? Match: Tonya Evinger (11-6) vs. Kelly Kobold (18-3-1) Flyweight Match: Nina Ansaroff (5-3) vs. Munah Holland (5-2) Prelims ??? Shannon Knapp also hinted that Invicta 8 will be in January with Thug Rose and Bec Hyatt on the card. Cyborg probably will return then as well. As a main card it's pretty loving stacked, as their isn't a single match without at least one Top 10 fighter in it aside from the opener (and Munah Holland is only out of the Top 10 for inactivity, she was #7 last month), but it really feels like some prelims are needed. If Invicta is going to be going to a much more frequent schedule starting in January, it seems like they may indeed have struck a deal with Showtime or whoever. More notes: -The second Bellator veteran signed that Knapp had alluded to appears to have been Munah Holland. -Julie Kedzie will be fighting at UFC Fight Night 33 in Australia (technically on Saturday December 7th as well but airs in the U.S. on Friday), and will not be available to do commentating. -While Invicta 7 isn't actually going up against UFC Fight Night 33, they do appear to be going against WSOF 7.

PSP Women's Bantamweight Rankings October 12, 2013 Basically, I ranked 40 women at Bantamweight to prove a point in a sperg-argument recently and I didn't want that to go to waste. 1) Ronda Rousey (7-0) (UFC) UFC Champion 2) Cat Zingano (8-0) (UFC) Pictured recovering from surgery with Carla Esparza. 3) Sara McMann (7-0) (UFC) 4) Liz Carmouche (9-3) (UFC) 5) Sarah Kaufman (16-2) (UFC) 6) Miesha Tate (13-4) (UFC) 7) Alexis Davis (14-5) (UFC) 8) Lauren Murphy (7-0) (Invicta) 9) Sarah D’Alelio (7-4) (Invicta) 10) Amanda Nunes (8-3) (UFC) 11) Julianna Pena (4-2) (UFC) 12) Shayna Bazler (15-8) (UFC) 13) Rosi Sexton (13-3) (UFC) 14) Jessica Eye (10-1) (UFC) 15) Germaine de Randamie (4-2) (UFC) 16) Jessica Andrade (9-3) (UFC) 17) Holly Holm (5-0) (Legacy FC) 18) Miriam Nakamoto (2-0, 1 NC) (Invicta) 19) Raquel Pennington (3-3) (UFC) 20) Jessamyn Duke (2-0, 1 NC) (UFC) 21) Julie Kedzie (16-12) (UFC) 22) Sarah Moras (3-1) (UFC) 23) Rin Nakai (15-0-1) (Pancrase/Japanese talent agency slave) 24) Tara Larosa (21-4) (free agent) 25) Tonya Evinger (Invicta) 26) Sheila Gaff (10-6-1) (free agent) 27) Jessica Rakoczy (1-3-1) (UFC) 28) Peggy Morgan (2-0) (UFC) 29) Kaitlyn Young (7-8-1) (Invicta) 30) Roxanne Modafferi (15-10) (UFC) 31) Bethe Correia (6-0) (UFC) 32) Valerie Letourneau (4-3) (free agent) 32) Revelina Berto (3-1) (free agent) 34) Sheila Bird (3-0) (free agent) 35) Elaine Albuquerque (6-1) (free agent) 36) Ana Maria (5-4) (free agent) 37) Marciea Allen (2-1) (free agent) 38) Agnieszka Niedzwiedz (4-0) (free agent) 39) Juliete Silva (3-1) (free agent) 40) Aline Serio (5-4) (free agent) Notable people not ranked: -Kelly Kobold is returning to action at Invicta 7 for her fight in over 2 years and just her second fight since she initially retired 5 years ago. She used to be very good (she's 18-3-1, with losses to Gina Carano, Cyborg, and Tara Larosa in her prime), but since I have no idea how good she is now I've decided not to rank her. -Milana Dudieva would be ranked around #22 or #23 but she is moving back to Featherweight for her next fight, where she's spent most of her career. -TUF elimination round loser Colleen Schneider probably would have landed on the list in if she hadn't already moved back to Flyweight. There also appears to be little indication that Bethany Marshall also probably would have sneaked on the list but she's indicated she's also returning to Flyweight. -I can't honestly rank UFC's recent acquisition Alexandra Albu when of her supposed 5 fights, only one is verified (which was supposed to be her fifth but was promoted as her "debut") and she and her coach have dodged questions on her first four opponents beyond the fact they were in Thailand. I have no doubt she's trained in Thailand. As for havng four professional MMA fights in Thailand, I find that sketchy to say the least, not to mention the likely quality of her opponents, or the fact that she would be on the small side even at Flyweight. I can't rank her on training videos or on crushing a can (even her one verified fight was against a fighter who was 0-0). I'll wait until I see how she does against Kedzie.

Yep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z5c1H4_4Vk Holm really needs to move on to proper competition. She's way too good for Legacy FC. That was more an execution than a fight. Bean Fried, as far as I know Milana Dudieva is still a bantamweight. At least that's what Swedish MMA sites are reporting as the weightclass for her fight against Pannie Kianzad.

On a separate note, since 6 fights have already been announced for the Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale, there only appears to be ~6 or so open spots on the TUF Finale for fights, and so it seems that not everyone on the show made it (although I suppose they might have spread a couple fights out to other shows, idk, Or maybe some got injured). Anyway Invicta might be using one or two of the people who didn't make it it seems, and I've been able to confirm that pretty much everyone on the Women's side is training for some sort of fight right now. That being said I've been kind of poo poo at predicting what happens on TUF after the Elimination Round winners, so whatever.

Zuffa could quite easily buy up most of Bellator's star roster, but it's clear that they don't need to. It'll be a lot cheaper to buy the failing company in about 3 months time. Chandler v Pettis sounds like fun.

Alvarez is a guaranteed increase in PPV buys because you always get high drama. Every fight of his is like watching a bar fight on CCTV in fast-forward, he always gets knocked out then bounces back up like he's just used an extra life.
