dana will eventually open pressers with power slap matches

Long after the last contestants dumb enough for power slap have given up he will just spank himself at the podium for five minutes grumbling how if you don’t like it you can watch something else

any journalist who wants to ask a question must first get slapped by one of dana's slappers and the journalist must thank the slapper for the first-hand experience in the world's most exciting new sport

One of the most successful MMA media personalities is a guy named The Schmo whose schtick you can instantaneously absorb by looking at a picture of him



he was one of the first journalists they called to cover power slap.

im not one to assume a person's character based on how they look, but how he looks is 100% a choice made to elicit a reaction of revulsion and violence. it's like he went to law school and just wants people to assault him, because that's how he makes his money

This is probably the fourth time I've heard of him but the first time I've remembered hearing about him before. Every previous time I went "what the gently caress is a schmo?"

You know every free clinic in Vegas knows Nick the Tooth on a first name basis. Matt Serra probably had to submerge in Purell like Baron Harkonnen after rolling with him.

He was there for the inaugural media day, which I only know because I googled it while looking for that picture.

In other news of the sport being annoying, Deiveson Figueiredo retired from flyweight after the last Moreno fight to move to bantamweight, and then he announced he was actually staying at flyweight and was going to fight Manel Kape to get another shot at the title, and now, apparently, he's back at 135 and is in talks to fight Dominick Cruz sometime in September.

Also, unrelatedly but re: all the dirty slut for the writeups stuff, thanks, y'all. It means a lot.

ONE Friday Fights, the A show, is on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwPbujCY1d8

This week, we have a non-Thai fighter in the main event, as Fabio Reis takes on Pongsiri. Reis is a fighter from Portugal who has two left hook knockouts on OFF so far, over Ferrari and Sangmanee. This time, he takes on ONE veteran Pongsiri, who was 1-3 in ONE proper before ONE Friday FIghts started. In OFF, Pongsiri is 2-0 over foreigners, with decision victories over Ferzan Çiçek and Tyson Harrison.

In the main event of the first half of the show, Sinsamut returns off of two straight defeats to Regian Eersel to try and get back on track as he takes on Brazilian Victor Teixeira. Teixeira knocked out Kongthailand just four weeks ago at OFF20, so he has a quick turnaround against a much higher level opponent.

Short notice 185 dude made weight and seems happy to be there. Win or lose they should match him up with Deron Winn at some point, smallest middleweight fight in history (open to being proven wrong by MMA historians ITT)

Everyone else also made weight, except for Jalin Turner at 158, dude needs to go back to Welterweight, he's too tall.

Dumb loving fight and I'm ultimately glad it's not happening in the first place, but hey, the UFC's incredibly bad matchmaking may have inadvertently saved a fighter's life by getting him the first actual medical exam of his career.
