WHAT THE gently caress

Battlegrounds MMA is hosting an eight man Welterweight tournament held over one night, tonight.

We care because it's on PPV and it has the following comentary team:


CHAEL P SONNEN

Notable for having a being involved in a property scam or something, having a big mouth, beating up Anderson Silva for five rounds before tapping out with like a second to go and then pissing hot afterwords, being an excellent MMA coach, almost beating Jon 'Herb' Jones via freakish foot injury and having a fatal weakness to triangle chokes. Was recently released from the UFC after testing positive for all the drugs. Currently competing in non NSAC sanctioned events only.


JIM "JR" ROSS

Notable for having his dad make him kill a bag full of puppies or something, I'm not sure, and for being 'the voice' of the World Wrestling Federation. Went legit and called some college football games for a year in the early nineties (I wanna say UGA?). Got fired from WWE beacuse he's Vince McMahon's bitch and he didn't stop Ric Flair talking about wrestling at a press event where Ric Flair was invited to talk about wrestling. Currently hosting his own rasslin' podcast where he gets known racists on to talk about how they're not racists and is generally very bitter.

SPECIAL RULES


The Atlhetic Commission posted:

“Other than the normal requirements for MMA regulation, additional health and safety elements have been added,” Miller told Sherdog.com. “New CT scan, new EKG, new dilated fundoscopic, SCAT3, Sickle Cell, King-Devick, and IV fluid are available.”

In addition to the newly acquired equipment, there will also be some special rules enforced.

“Elbows are not allowed until the final match of the tournament. There will also be a mandatory rest period between bouts at a minimum of 30 minutes and maximum of 45 minutes,” Miller said. “In addition, there are mandatory medical tests in between rounds and before/after each bout, as well as three additional medical personnel at cageside.

In college Trey Houston got wicked drunk and jumped headfirst into the shallow end of a pool, breaking his neck. I would not lay money on him going all the way tonight

I have thrown in with Cody McKenzie and I feel you should, too.

Remember, other fighters might have better striking, grappling, wrestling, cardio and more blood than he does, but he is going to win.

First fight starting, one guy who's post-gyno surgery and one guy who's wearing a rashguard. This is off to a fantastic start.

The non-Chael announcer is Jim Ross, whose voice is an intersection of deep oklahoma accent and partial facial paralysis.

Dean Stone's announcing is the worst part.

Also, I liked Chael advocating Cook to "take some time off, re-evalutate things, and probably quit"

Taylor can wrestle, has a lot of experience and has racked up a number of decent-level B-league scalps. He's also dumb as a post and managed to beat Kendall Grove without stopping him, so enh.

Cody didn't actually miss weight. He initially came in over, and then went and donated a pint of blood and came back and made weight within the time limit.

Cody McKenzie, ladies and gentlemen.
