I think that was just a one off deal because of Fedor. The tape delayed, digest version of the show didn't exactly do gangbusters on Spike. I am surprised AXS hasn't tried to make a play for CroCop/Wand III and the 12/31 show though. I say the latter simply because people will probably stay up to watch out of curiosity once the UFC 207 festivities end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 InVicta FC 20: Last 4 fights were the best of the night and Hill looked great again then we got a shocking ending in the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 On the last ever Legacy FC show, Gerald Harris is fighting a guy who showed up at 225 for a welterweight fight. The Oklahoma commission approved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 That was EVIL. Jesus fuck, he put his forearm under his chin just to make sure his head bounced off the mat, then peaced him out. And Harris jumped up multiple weight classes just to do it. Inhuman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 As much as we like to hate on Schiavello, that was a hilarious call made even better by the crowd reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 "He slammed him on to the astral plane." Did I hear that right? Also, apologies if already asked and answered, but is Legacy being absorbed by another promotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are merging into one entity technically. Since Mick Maynard (who ran Legacy) is with the UFC as a matchmaker, Ed Soares (who ran RFA) is running the new promotion and is no longer managing fighters.

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Holy shit. If you watch only one kickboxing fight this year, make it Danyo Illunga vs. Michael Duut II. It's an insane rollercoaster of a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 lol, I just put it on and I still had the markers on from last night and the Duut/Illunga fight is all striking flurries. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 I just got done watching Tom Duquesnoy vs. Alan Philipott, the BAMMA 27 headliner. Tom Duquesnoy may be the best prospect I have seen in years. That's gotta be his last BAMMA fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setsuna Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I actually slogged the whole way through that Rizin show. It was everything you expected (and more or less depending on what you actually expected). I enjoyed it more than I thought it would. This probably isn't news to anyone but Joe Warren is a terrible commentator. The Baruto fight especially he just went back and forth on 'TK should have stolen Baruto's lunch' and 'Baruto has the best cardio of all 350+lb athletes I've ever seen!'. Seriously Joe, how many have you seen? My highlights : -the Cruikshank-Kitaoka fight was a good opener. Surprised that Kitaoka came back on that one. -Herring was gut-wrench german suplexed in the first round and got the crap kicked out of him. Amir was totally gassed in the second though and Herring clearly won the round. Surprised it didn't go to a third with the way the fight had progressed despite the whole-fighting scoring system. -Was the crowd saying boo or Baruuuuuuuto? I've never made that joke before so give me a break. -Surprised Cro Cop took out Mo. Those two really shouldn't have been matched up in the quarterfinals but I guess they needed something to sell this event on. I'm actually looking forward to Baruto - Cro Cop just because of the dynamics on this show. And yes, that means I do plan on spending another whole afternoon watching Rizin. Probably going to be a bit strange switching to it after UFC207. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Eversport is the official, unofficial Rizin stream for people not in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Yumiko Hotta vs. Gabi Garcia went about as well as expected. Hotta started off by running the ropes and then immediately got annihilated. Like Gabi drilled her with a left as Hotta was coming off the ropes. Only in Japan. Five stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Why is there a strange joshi wrestling angle happening with Hotta/Kandori, some lady I never seen before, and Gabi/Cyborg? Also, Gabi sounds like Thiago Alves and that's very creepy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
