So did they actually dock Sapp? I didn't understand anything the ref was doing.

So I guess tomorrow's Invicta card lost a couple fights due to injuries a while back, and then another a couple days ago and one more today right before weigh-ins. They're down to just seven fights on the card. No idea if it's still starting at 9PM ET as originally planned, but it's on Fight Pass tomorrow night.

Ibragimova's right eye is a disaster. She's had a couple good entries, shame she hasn't been able to finish a takedown.

e: welp. :geno:

Here we all were, sitting around thinking Kimbo/Dada was the dumbest fight of the decade. Turns out it wasn't even the dumbest fight of the weekend. A 68-year-old woman made her MMA debut and got TKO'd. Not the ugliest stoppage in the world, but considering her age it is pretty bad.

The slam that preceded the finish was really beautiful, too. I hope somebody gif'd it (or webm'd it, or whatever format the kids are using these days).

Yikes. This is not a good look for Bendo. He's stuck outside getting battered. I still think he can win if he can get Koreshkov down but now I don't know if he can finish a single or survive getting into clinch range.

Carvalho is a turd. He's making a Melvin fight boring and after landing an illegal knee to the groin he kept throwing elbows at Manhoef's head even after Big John was wrapping him up and telling him to stop.

And now he's flagrantly raking at Melvin's eyes.

Taking Melvin down should be an illegal technique ("timidity" is a foul under the Unified Rules), so by my count Carvalho should have been deducted 5 points already, and should be losing 30-19 going into the fourth.

Amazing that the guy who (allegedly) drove a railway spike through Sugar Ray Leonard's dog's head to send a message turns out to possibly be the less lovely of Bellator's CEOs.

My favorite part is how Fabio beat Fedor nearly to death for four minutes and the commentator's best theory on why he slowed down was that he didn't want to beat the legend.

So Mitrione came pretty darn close to getting KO'd yesterday (personally I thought Big John could have stopped it when Mitrione crumpled) before coming back and winning, and said after the fight that he had no memory of getting dropped.

Bellator has him scheduled to fight Oli Thompson in 3 weeks. I've never liked Mitrione, but for his sake I hope he gets to see a real doctor at some point before that fight.

My dad was really into boxing back in the day, and he always laughs and shakes his head when I suggest that a guy that got run out of Boston by Whitey Bulger (not that Dana was a criminal or anything; it just sounds funnier to describe him that way) and a pair of union-busting casino moguls are probably the least-scummy combat sports promoters of all time.

This is some next level poo poo from Bellator though. I don't recall Coker being especially lovely in this particular direction when he was running Strikeforce (though maybe the Showtime people were more involved than the Viacom suits are now?), but especially on the heels of Dada5000 and Kimbo (not to mention that whistleblower's claims about falsified medicals), you'd think they wouldn't be scheduling he-borg so soon after a bad beating, or Mitrione just a few weeks after getting hit so hard he didn't remember getting dropped. Even just for the sake of appearances.

I realize that Drysdale took a bunch of strikes to the body, but this is Dada5000-level gassing after just a few minutes of grappling.
