Haha, so Bob Meyrowitz is talking about starting up YAMMA and the name was created as a result of a misunderstanding - as he explains it, he was in a restaurant pitching the idea to Russian investors and they couldn't understand why a curved pit was even necessary, so he got a frying pan and they all exclaimed, knowingly, "yama!" So he thought it meant frying pan. Later on he was talking about YAMMA with Oleg Taktarov and was corrected and yama actually meant "burial pit."

The frying pan showed them why the curved pit was necessary?

Listening to Ariel's show right now. Per Shannon Knapp, Miesha Tate, Michael Schiavello, and King Mo to commentate Invicta this weekend.

Miriam Nakomoto had a UFC offer but turned it down. She wants to fight Cyborg in Muay Thai. Also seems to have a Diaz-like aversion to fighting, except she's about 100 times more coherent.

Michael Schiavello, for gently caress's sake. Mo was bad enough on the last show.

I didn't realize you could get ranked #4 by not losing as badly as you did the first time to the champ. Also, I can't really think of any time Tate actually did anything resembling offense. Like just because Joe Rogan goes OHHHHHHHH! doesn't mean that you actually did anything important.

I mean if you're going to go by in-fight performances and not wins and losses, her getting beat up by Julie Kedzie should shoot her pretty far down the list.

She did better than anyone imagined she would against Rousey so until one of the people below her wins again I can see why that loss wouldn't move her down. Losing to the champ shouldn't hurt your ranking too much, they are clearly the best.

I looked into it here in Missouri once and it was $50 per license but I think you just had to apply and pay up and you're good to go.

How does getting pulled for assignment work? Is it just random drawn out of a hat or do new members get lovely small shows or is it broken up by region or what?

Forums user John Cena (possibly the real life John Cena) got licensed in his state, so he might know better. I am going to apply the second I get a proper photo of myself holding the Coleman Cup so they know I am serious.

Honestly I really like what WSOF has going, it's definitely no WEC or Strikeforce, but it feels much more like one of those parallel organisations than Bellator which is mostly preoccupied with tournament stuff

WSOF feels like an EliteXC except the understand they will never compete with UFC. So we get some weird freakshow fights and attempts to draw with goofy poo poo, but there's also some good stuff.

Huerta washed out of the UFC right around when I started paying attention to MMA so I don't know much about him. It looks like he had some legit wins, and if you're can crushing pulling a 6-fight win streak in the UFC is pretty loving hard to do. What happened to him?

At the time he wanted out. I think he had acting aspirations at the time? I just remember it was known he wasn't going to resign and he faced Gray Maynard on his way out maybe to make sure he lost.

Jon Fitch looked good in the Hallman fight but I'm still disappointed he wasn't able to get the finish even at a heavier catchweight against a man with a lot of miles on him.

Andrei Arlovski looked bad in WSOF and still got a UFC contract and what do you know his UFC return fight was trash too. All I'm saying is bring back Fitch.

Arlovski's WSOF run was better than Fitch's. Fitch looked like complete garbage in his second fight and lost his first in a minute. Andrei's only loss was to the P4P heaviest man on the planet.
