Oh, I like the smell of my own dumps.
If Elon v Zuck happens, Dana should put carts of tomatoes around the arena to throw at them. Best gate of all time just for the chance to pelt them.

Sometimes these rematches don't make sense but this is not one of those times, Shevchenko was undefeated at flyweight until that fight, and was winning the fight on the scorecards until suddenly finding herself in a grappling exchange after an ill-advised spinning kick, I suspect the rematch will look a lot like the Nunes/Pena rematch from last year.



Counterpoint. She lost the fight like a fuckin' dumbass and instant rematches suck.

It just occured to me that Dana may be riding the lightning and trying to pressure fighters into fights by announcing bookings before they are signed or even negotiated, except with his dipshit billionaire friends. That's very funny to me.

Grasso's a lot loving better than Pena.

That's probably true but they're not fighting each other :shrug:, my point is more that I think the gap between non-complacent Shevchenko and Grasso is similar conceptually to the gap between non-covid Nunes and Pena, but then again father time waits for no-one and Shevchenko is 35 so maybe she just doesn't have it anymore, we'll see.

I can't tell if you're suggesting they fight Aline Pereira (LFA 1-1 record) or if they should both fight Alex Pereira together in some kind of fight circus type 2 vs 1.

Yeah, Mizuki Inoue has either a no contest or possibly dq loss on her record from a bout in like DEEP Jewels where she won by armbar, but she came in overweight. Because: Japan

Bhullar's corner was definitely right -- Malykhin's fading.
Bhullar's been reactive enough leaning away from the mediocre workrate.

I don't think Bhullar's plan of wait this out until he's exhausted is going to work.

It looked to me like Bhullar was in there for the paycheck. Like see if he could win, but just lose safely if he couldn't do it.

There's only one man who could poke himself outside the ring and get away with it, and that was Sakuraba.

Wait, he just said he wants to fight at 93kg (which is 205lbs) for a third belt, he...has the LHW belt, what weight is that in ONE? gently caress their weight classes are so confusing.

Also the Russian translator was not ready for that thing about wanting to have a minute of silence for Victoria Lee and Paopom Watcharin

Ok well he mostly said it in English so I don't have that much insight (other than using the Russian word for "For" (shto), but I went back to listen again and seems like he started it by saying De Ridder, who looks like is their middleweight(205) champ

Muangthai got way too rudimentary after that first knockdown. Sure his brain was scrambled, but going for only desperation body kicks of course just gifted Carillo more catches and return elbows.

Looking at GNI figures, no, it'd be like 40k USD. That said, I'm sure it's tricky to figure out price points for a pretty international fighter roster.
