 b league preview i decided to eschew the more rote, dry recitation of stats and records (partly because i was getting bored doing it) and just went with a purely vibes approach ONE Fight Night 10 - Friday, May 5 Main Card - 8 PM ET, Amazon Prime Bantamweight Title - Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson vs Adriano “Mikinho” Moraes DJ is real cool and good, but I’ve seen one or two rumors flopping around that he might call it a career after this fight. Previously, he’d said he had a few more years/fights left in him, but maybe as this bout approached he reevaluated things. Or maybe it’s just fake internet whispers that don’t amount to anything. Moraes is fairly large for the division, and he’s very good as well. He might want to use his size on the ground against DJ since I think Johnson was starting to get some good reads on him before the finish came. This should be a great fight, which of course means it will end inside 90 seconds due to a simultaneous double head clash and groin strikes. Bantamweight Title (Muay Thai) - Rodtang “The Ironman” Jitmuangnon vs Edgar Juarez Tabares RODTANG. He hasn’t consistently made it inside the cage recently, but when he does fight, he’s still dangerous and scary. I know nothing about this guy Tabares. RODTANG! Bantamweight Title (Grappling) - Mikey “Darth Rigatoni” Muscumeci vs Osamah Almarwai Muscumeci is a little grapple nerd but he’s real good at grapples. He’s faced a few guys who aren’t pure grapplers, but MMA guys who also grapple, so the lack of legal striking might have hampered them a bit. I don’t know diddly squirt about this guy. Mikey’s probably going to win again. Strawweight - Stamp Fairtex vs Alyse “Lil Savage” Anderson Stamp is a multi-sport star, competing in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA. She’s obviously a very solid striker, but she’s also fairly competent on the ground. It’s not like she just gets taken down instantly and is submitted with ease. Anderson had a brief stint in Invicta a few years back, but I don’t recall anything truly memorable about her run there. She’s been in ONE for a bit, losing to the mighty Android 17. As with most things in life, I must put all my faith in Stamp Fairtex and the Stamp Dance. Middleweight - Roberto “Robocop” Soldic vs Zebaztian “The Bandit” Kadestam Soldic had a ton of signing hype when he went to ONE. He’s a former KSW champ and knocks out most of his opponents. Then he got in the ONE Circle and the fight ended in 3 minutes due to a penis attack. The aristocrats! Kadestam also punches most of his foes to oblivion. However, it should be noted he does have a TKO loss to Ben Askren, which is most shameful. Gotta send a Robocop to catch a Bandit, baby! Welterweight - “Super” Sage Northcutt vs Ahmed “Wolverine” Mujtaba Sage is a sweet boy himbo human golden retriever who has never had a negative thought enter his empty, empty head (Made even more empty when Cosmo Alexandre shattered his skull a few years back). Mujtaba is a grappleman from Pakistan. Good news for Sage: this guy is unlikely to break any more of his face bones. Bad news for Sage: he has struggled against grapplemen. Uh oh, Spaghetti-Os! Light Heavyweight - Aung “The Burmese Python” La N Sang vs Rong “King Kong Warrior” Fan La N Sang hits things hard until they break. One of the first things that always pops into my head when I think about Aung La N Sang (Right after I have to remember it’s not Auld Lang Syne), is a fight he had with Ken Hasegawa, and his body kicks made an enormous bruise on Ken’s side, and then later, Ken posted a picture from the hospital of the big jug of blood that had to be drained from his punctured lung. Super fuckin gnarly! Fan is mostly a grappler, and has lost mostly to grapplers, which is always kind of interesting. There isn’t as much of a risk of that in this fight, which is good, but Fan’s faced a lot of severely undermatched opponents. Eight of his last 16 opponents have been somewhere in the neighborhood of 0-0 to 1-3. La N Sang is probably going to hit Fan very, very hard. Light Heavyweight (Grappling) - Reinier “The Dutch Knight” de Ridder vs Tye Ruotulo De Ridder got his face punched by a large Russian man and lost one title so now he doesn’t want to get face punched again. Ruotulo normally competes somewhere in the 175 - 180 lb range, so I’m sure it’s fine that he’s going up about 25 pounds. Flyweight (Muay Thai) - Jackie Buntan vs Diandra Martin Both fighters have lost to Actual Child Smilla Sundell. Where is Smilla Sundell? Why has she not fought since last year? Is it because she’s in school? I bet it’s because she’s in school. Anyway, Muay Thai is cool, this fight should be neat. Prelim Card - 7 PM ET, Amazon Prime Bantamweight - Kairat “The Kazakh” Akhmetov vs Reece “Lightning” McLaren This is a rematch from 2019 that I’m sure I never saw. Akhmetov took a decision then, and based on what each man has done in the intervening years (Akhmetov 3-0, all by decision. McLaren 4-2, 2 TKO, 2 submissions), I could easily see the argument for another Akhmetov win. He beat guys that McLaren lost to, he’s been active but not running himself ragged, and he’s still a solid fighter. McLaren is more dynamic, based on finishes, but the names on his record aren’t as eye popping. Welterweight - Lowen Tynanes vs Rae Yoon Ok Ok Rae Yoon would probably still be champ if his first defense was against anyone other than Christian Lee. He had Lee hurt early but somehow the TKO didn’t get called and Rae Yoon got a little tuckered out and then finished in the second. Now he’s curtain jerking. Weird!

CarlCX posted:I feel like the UFC's starting to get to the point where the ability to turn it off is starting to feel just as weird as my leaving it on all the time has always felt to me. Dana White uses the press conferences to talk about how bad being woke is, Holly Holm wins a fight and goes on about the groomer problem, Jon Anik randomly shouts out Ron DeSantis on commentary, the UFC takes time out of its broadcast to hold a Donald Trump party and every subsequent fighter grovels at him, I dunno, man. It used to just be 'are you the kind of person who isn't so online to know/doesn't care that Bryce Mitchell thinks the Earth is flat' but the programming itself is more and more often used as a platform to talk about this poo poo and it seems like switching it off must be harder than ever. yeah i agree, though i've just tuned everything other than the fights out and not being american probably helps because i usually just watch the fights on sunday morning and fast forward through everything that's not a fight and watch nothing else, i stopped going on twitter because it just makes me mad, and idk who ron desantis is (deranged republican politican/news guy/influencer/christian genocidal bigot, at least 2 out of these, i'm guessing). CarlCX posted:vibe-check MMA writing is good MMA writing but I've also been concerned about mighty mouse being all 'ehh, maybe i'll retire' right before a fight with a dude what knocked him out i think dj is just an extremely chill guy. after he lost to cejudo in a razor close fight on his xxth title defence he was completely unbothered and said 'good fight, what are you gonna do'. the first two moraes fights were really good, both of them perfect examples of why knees on the ground should be legal, so i'm sure this one will be wild.
