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.

This still begs the question why the gently caress they had such a hard on for Eddie Alvarez.

"I respect the girls who defend the country’s honor at the Olympics, in wrestling, boxing… But I do not support female MMA. A woman must be a domestic goddess, raise her children and be feminine. There a lot of different sports which help her in that. But MMA is not one of them"

Sherdog is very pleased.

quote:

There is some truth in this, but gender/sex roles were the same for thousands and thousands of years for the most part, and similar throughout most cultures and ethnicities, with some differences, of course... It's (gender and sex roles which lead to the notion of 'family' in civilized societies) not something to flakily dismiss over 20 years so some kids confused by the very new screwed up system can express weirdness to get attention. It's a joke. I'm glad the Russians are smart enough to know it.

The family system took us from the jungle to freakin MOON over 50,000 years. The stronger the family system, the more fathers were involved in the homes of their children, the better the street and the better the society in terms of useful production. Be VERY careful throwing away the traditional idea of family, it got us into space in the first place. Women having complete free reign and breeding with whoever they find cute that particular morning has always led to more primitive less civilized societies.

If you only want to watch the cream of the crop fight, they aren't for you. If you like watching rock-em sock-em robots, they are very entertaining.

If after hearing the result in the Ross Pearson fight and thinking "we need more fighters like Diego Sanchez back in the UFC" thereby looking at Leonard Garcia as "entertaining" then fighting is not for you.

Edit: The Other Man has been identified

quote:

First, the third man involved in the assault has been identified as Corey Thomas, who many may recognize from the show Megan Wants a Millionaire. You may remember this show because it was cancelled after only 3 episodes aired, amid controversy stemming from the deaths of contestant Ryan Jenkins and his wife Jasmine Fiore (Jenkins allegedly murdered Fiore and committed suicide). Thomas is said to be suffering from two black eyes, a broken nose, and other injuries he sustained when War Machine beat and bit him.

Let's not forget the other violent case in MMA

Battered wife: Josh Grispi a 'great father' and 'I'm not going to throw away our marriage'

By Jesse Holland @Jesse_Holland on Aug 13 2014, 12:25p 105
Gary A. Vasquez-US PRESSWIRE

Because "he can get better with help."

Authorities called it "the worst case of domestic abuse they've ever seen."

But Josh Grispi's wife, Kaitlyn Grispi, doesn't understand what all the hullabaloo is about. Sure, "The Fluke" beat the stuffing out of her, then turned the family pitbull against her, but he's not the wife-beating creep the media is making him out to be.


That's according to her comments to Middleborough's Wicked Local:

"My husband's a great father and my kids miss him so much. It's hard. My son's birthday is tomorrow. It's just rough. It's sad because they're making it out to be way crazier than what it was. Yes. What he did is wrong. That is wrong to put your hands on a girl, and I understand that and I know that. I'm not just going to throw away a marriage. Behind closed doors, everyone has a fight. Maybe not that far, but everyone's gonna fight. Every marriage has its problems. Does that mean you give up on it?"

I know the marriage vows say "in good times and bad," but hopefully a line gets drawn at some point.

Especially considering the unsettling text messages Grispi sent his wife (read them), promising to find pleasure in her slow, painful death. And that doesn't even take into account the drugs and weapons found at his residence at the time of arrest (full report here).

Considering the charges levied against him, they may be a decade from reuniting, which in the end, will give her plenty of time to think this thing through. Maybe she can call Christy Mack for advice, since the hospitalized porn star knows a thing or two about violent abusers.

His messages

quote:


"UR (expletive) dead and if u even try n bring my kids into it the worse it will b for u and if u try and make a seen (sic) I'll choke u unconscious and smash ur throat and if u get worse n run around after I'm goin to let Buddy have at u and I'll walk out of the room."

"Don't cure (sic) you whore, That's all u think abor (sic) ur a (expletive) scum bag piece of (expletive) who I'm goin enjoy choking to death."

"U better not b bluffing about cops cuz I don't joke ur dead when I see u... Literally. I don't care I'm going to beat u n throw u to buddy, Ur dead."

So far we have had a powerbomb KO resulting in five minutes before the guy was stretchered out, another KO which was a complete faceplant, and a guy successfully pulling off an omoplata to immediately jump on the side of the cage in celebration, fall backwards, and spike head first on the steel ring apron.
