ONE Friday Fights is the best combat sports program hands down

I always look forward to Friday more because of the fights. Makes my morning workday go by so fast.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

someone can correct me if im wrong, but doesn't mark have like his back fused together and like hip and knees replaced? please, hammer don't hurt 'em (yourself)

If ONE could actually get things together enough to actively promote an existing Muay Thai roster rather to the point of it being a known, recognizable quantity, they could really have something with tiny gloves Muay Thai.

As long as they can't even reliably name the people on the card until a few days before the card happens, there's a real, real low ceiling on how high it can go. Which sucks, because it's incredibly fun.

He does and for ages he was a pill addict and drunk, apparently he's been doing liver king stuff and it's helped him quit the drugs n booze so he might live another 4 years but jesus. It's not a sport he should be doing anymore.

It takes a lot for me to get a gross feeling in my stomach, but watching colemans video really gave me that feeling. Its at the point where these older athletes need legitimate interventions. Shame on the AC who licensed The Hammer.

There can't possibly be an athletic commission involved in this, right? This feels like something organized by a youtube channel, hosted in a buc-ees parking lot, and ready to scatter at the first sign of the cops

ONE Friday Fights is the best and has English commentary. Airs Friday morning 8:30 AM ET for about 4 hours. They do small gloves and three rounds. Make sure you also catch the ONE Fight Nights monthly on Prime, those usually have a few MT/KB fights with the highest-ranked fighters.

RWS (Rajadamnern World Series) is also a top promotion, does not have English commentary but has an English ring announcer and graphics. Fights air Saturday morning US time and get posted after as single files on Sundays, with a “full show” file also going up on Tuesday (edit: or Thursday or something). They do boxing gloves and three rounds. Biggest names are Petchyindee guys that left ONE recently, such as Capitan, Rittewada, and Petchmorakot.
This is last week’s show. They’re running their annual tournaments starting in May. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hUBFCvpffM8

So, hey: Remember how I said the Road to UFC 2 tournament was happening at some point and it would probably be pretty cool?

It turns out it's today, in like two hours.

https://twitter.com/BigMarcel24/status/1662310086390185985

And I only found out because Marcel Dorff, who does not work for the UFC, tweeted about it.

The UFC's actual twitter account, which is free publicity with eleven million followers, has not said a thing about it. But they have tweeted about the slap league 21 times in the last seven days.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

We used to watch Oplot here regularly when it's Soviet imagery seemed a camp throwback when having fights between audience members in a strip club. That did not age well.

as a certified Sam Alvey Hater I'd just like to put it on the record that all of those split decision losses were the result of moron judges in fights that weren't that close. They all should have been unanimous losses. Thank you.
