KSW is a testament to what you can accomplish as a regional if you have a) money, b) good talent scouts, and c) no steroid policies.

Also, speaking of fighting organizations that aren't poo poo, let's be reminded of the ones that are: https://twitter.com/TElliott125/status/1665028315273662464 So if you fight at the Apex, you don't get to bring your family anymore because that would sacrifice the eighteen seats they can sell to extract ticket money. edit: unsurprisingly it is now deleted, but it was a Tim Elliott tweet about the above CarlCX fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Jun 3, 2023 |

Meanwhite, Chatri is filming a thirty minute promo about the master craftsmen making him a new taller chair so he can throw wads of cash directly into the ONE ring like he's at a strip club

Another potential KO of the year https://twitter.com/combate/status/1665123995832795136?s=20 The timing on this kick is just crazy good. https://twitter.com/Grabaka_Hitman/status/1665123143113900033?s=20 KSW show all around was pretty good. And it being only $10 nothing i mind spending.

Does KSW allow grounded kicks or did Khalidov just get super lucky timing that?

So, and I'm not gonna post it because there's video so also be careful if you decide to go looking for it, a 16 year-old kid in Russia died during amateur competition. For whatever reason the requirement to wear headgear had been waived for his fight, he took a spinning kick to the head and dropped, and between the kick and somewhere between the landing he did not survive. I remain genuinely shocked this does not happen more often.

So, fun story that's come out from reporters and managers talking about this on twitter: Apparently at some point in the last year the Nevada State Athletic Commission made the quiet and most definitely independent decision to stop releasing information on medical suspensions. Reporters now only get to see if a license is or is not suspended with no additional context on reason or duration, and if you're a manager, well: https://twitter.com/dannyrube/status/1665433965178544135 This is an extremely positive change that portends absolutely nothing bad for fighters and will end extremely well.

I feel like fighters should be able to sue the athletic agency for... withholding information concerning their regulatory work? Would work better if they had a union.

Eh, he probably shouldn't be fighting elite competition anymore but at 38 he's probably still got a bit in him? Been over 2 years since the leg.

He should retire but it's a fine litmus test. If Chris gets hurt by the least powerful middleweight mainstay in UFC history it means he should hang them up. In 2017 preferably

We calling Brad Tavares elite competition now? Tavares is reliable but he is the most perfect, platonic ideal of a gatekeeper imaginable. Discovered that there's someone called 'Wellington Turman' in the middleweight division and need some time to process that.

Yeah, I don't think Brad Tavares is out of pocket as an opponent for Weidman if he's going to fight, I just wish he wouldn't. Dude took a bunch of horrible knockouts very quickly and then exploded his leg and he's turning 39 in like a week and a half, I feel like it will end poorly.

It's like a year between Rockhold and Romero, 5 months between Romero and Mousasi (that one is too soon), next loss is jacare a year and a half later, and then it's another year before he fights Reyes. Seems...not any different from a bunch of other fighters? I think it stands out more because he was a champ.

Seems...not any different from a bunch of other fighters? I think it stands out more because he was a champ. It's three years and ten months between the Rockhold fight and the Reyes fight, and I would say taking five knockouts in under four years is less common than you think. It's pretty rare for a fighter to even GET five knockout losses in the UFC without having a real long tenure, and most of them are guys like Arlovski and Cerrone and Struve who spread them out over years. I'm pretty sure Bigfoot took as many or more knockouts in as short a period of time, and the result was the UFC releasing him and his continuing to fight being looked at as one of the most shameful scandals in the sport. Also, fun fact I found while double-checking the concussion reports after the Mousasi fight: Weidman also says he got concussed in the Machida fight and has no memory of the last two rounds. So it's actually even worse than I thought, which makes me feel good about our sport.

yes, getting ko'd over 5 fights in less than 4 years is actually quite normal and not any different than everyone else who was doing it such as ________________

Yeah I guess when you put it like that I have a much harder time disagreeing.

From 2011-2016 he was finished 8 times. From 2011-2015 he was finished 6 times. His last 11 finished losses are 9/10/2011 5/26/2012 5/25/2013 9/13/2014 2/22/2015 11/14/2015 5/8/2016 9/24/2016 6/2/2017 6/13/2021 6/24/2022 I'm going off Tapology so I don't know if it's a clean 1 punch KO or just TKO, they don't list that difference most of the time.
