yea, I was just posting it as a fact that he is the first.
Is it an accomplishment? yes
Is it actually meaningful? Not really, given what Carl just posted about it.


Parnasse over in KSW had the chance to be the first just a few weeks ago but lost a decision.

Another great write up Carl


We do have fights going on right now! PFL Europe prelims started. No idea how you watch them, I think it was via DAZN?

The main card is free. Starts in 2 hours
Main has Cédric Doumbé which is all anyone cares about

Weird finish to the PFL Main event

The clip cuts out the first time Cédric pointed to it and Marc saying fight on.

https://x.com/PFLMMA/status/1765861288863818234?s=20

They are saying Cédric had a sliver in his foot and after many zoom ins to his toe it does look it.

Goes down as a TKO for Baki

I think Marc is in the right. Fighters can't call a timeout.

Maybe it gets overturned to a NC

Nope.

Purely Marc's decision based on the events how he saw them.

I guess Marc could have paused it, had the doc come in and check, but it's not a eyepoke or low blow. He doesn't know the injury just that Cédric isn't fighting and keeps pointing to his foot. (While Cédric does speak English to expect him to have the word splinter right away in that atmosphere I think is hard)

Grand Prix was good poo poo.

Rico is loving monster. He got dropped so hard form a spinning backfist and could have been finished.
Dude just has insane recovery to come back and get a 4th knockdown to win the Prix

I want to upload the ancient 09-PrideGPFinalsHQ.mpg in Coleman's honour but of course youtube has removed it a thousand times already. Is there anywhere you can stick 25MB of extremely copywritten material beyond an "everyone can view this" cloud account link?

Could try https://streamin.me/ still cloud but no account required.

Another option is upload it to a discord channel and copy the link.
Some of my links from months ago still work fine

That basically locks in fighter pay will never be good.
And give ufc even more dominance over the overall mma landscape.

Details to still come out but lol that they settle for so little, just like fighter pay in the first place.

TLDW: While 1200 fighters are in the Le suit, only fighters that are residents of the US, fought in the US or US citizens are eligible. Nash thinks that brings it down to around 1K. Johnson suit is 1500 but for various reasons it probably be under 500.
Lawyers will take 20% or so via the lodestar method.
For the fighters, most likely the proportional method. If I understand him, basically whatever a fighter made during the period the suits range, is what they will get. (ie example if the suit is 100Mil, and you got paid 1Mil, you get 1%)

Why is McGregor not headlining 300

What Lid said is a massive reason why. On top of all the steroids

The other big reason just why any fight hasn't been announced is its rumored Conor is on his 2nd to or last fight of his contract. UFC has been very strong over the past years to get fights to re-sign instead of fighting out the contract.
And the guess is Conor doesn't want that cause he could easily go over to KSA, get paid tens of millions and fail at boxing again.

ONE card was fantastic. Big rec to go watch it

Bellator starting

Bellator Champions Series: Belfast - Friday, March 22, 12 PM ET, on Max

Welcome to the shambling corpse of Bellator, propped up in a gruesome facsimile of life for reasons yet to be determined. Join me, won’t you, in the slimiest viscera and most putrid slop Irish MMA has to offer.

The prelims will see Geoff Neal’s brother, Grant, take on Luke Trainer in a matchup between one-loss guys. Steven Hill and Jordan Newman put their undefeated records on the line, as will the equally 3-0 Abraham Bably and Isaiah Pinson. Fun fact about those last two guys, they both got their pro starts by whooping on a certified jobguy. For Bably, it was Jan “The Monster” Lysak, currently 2-27, and for Pinson, it was Idrees “Grumpy Bear” Wasi, currently 3-20 (I really should finish my Found A Guy series at some point, huh?)

Next up is the Ireland portion of the prelims, as Nathan Kelly meets Super Fight League (Boom! Pow! Punch, kick, wow!) veteran Vikas Singh Ruhil. Then Ciaran Clarke faces Darius Mafi, pending Clarke’s ability to make weight, and apparently pending Mafi being allowed to fight since he had a bout listed on the 9th with results currently pending. I’m no kind of Fight Doctor or anything, but I’m not sure if a guy who fought a mere 13 days ago should be getting back in the cage so soon. Seems bad!

The prelim card ends with two members of the “We Got Beat by Alex Shabliy” Club, with Alfie Davis meeting Tofiq Musayev. Should be a good fight! Just make sure to keep Shabliy far away from the cage, so as not to spook the fighters.

The main card starts with more Ireland Time, as James Gallagher faces Leandro Higo. This fight was originally made last year, but that was during Gallagher’s “Not Fighting Anyone Right Now” phase. Hopefully things are trending in a more positive direction for Smallgregor.

Then for some reason we get Tim Wilde versus Manoel Sousa. Guess Irish Time can never last very long. Fabian Edwards looks to rebound from his loss to Johnny Eblen by facing Aaron Jeffery, who is most notable for either losing to both Brendan Allen and Caio Borralho on the Contender Series (not great) or for punching Austin Vanderford in the face (marginally ok as a litmus test for fighting prowess, pretty funny if you dislike Mr Paige VanZant).

Co-Main Event sees Patricio Pitbull finally defending the Featherweight title against Jeremy Kennedy. It is time to see if the 36 year old Pitbull is Too Old for This poo poo, or are there indeed Levels to This poo poo, and the guy with the nickname “Junior Bacon Cheeseburger” learns he is woefully overmatched. I think this should be a good fight, since Kennedy has looked pretty solid in the past, though that obviously comes with the girthy caveat that those stellar performances have been against guys who are demonstrably Not Patricio Pitbull.

In the Main Event Corey “Beastin Overtime 25/8” Anderson faces Karl Moore for the vacant Light Heavyweight title. Insanely useless fact: If Corey Anderson beasts 25 hours per day for 8 days per week, and we assume no other temporal anomalies in the Beastin-Verse, that equates to an additional 69.333 Earth-standard 24-hour days of Beastin opportunities if Corey were to Beast for an entire year, uninterrupted. Which I think he will do, once he wins the Bellator Light Heavyweight title after he punches Irish Karl in the face.
edit: 15 minutes and still not a fight. Just talking and videos

He has a very big case of 'i can't go out on a loss' apparently.
