OSJ Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Screw that, I want to see 57 year-old Dump run in and beat the fuck out of Gabi with a kendo stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the UFC has given permission to people to do wrestling related stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if doing pro wrestling (or boxing) was permitted in her new deal Cyborg just signed. If WWE had gotten to her first, Ronda vs. Cyborg in some funky PWG angle would probably be possible. The Four Horsewomen against Cyborg, Claressa Shields, Gabi, and Marion Reneau would be the hottest angle in Southern California since the heyday of wrestling at the Olympic Auditorium. Hopefully, someone can get to Claressa in time to tell her how to work a punch because that would be an automatic attempted homicide charge if she accidentally potatoed one of those girls. If they thought Amanda Nunes and Amanda Bell hit hard... OH BOY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Apparently Gabi was confronted by some guy who questioned her about cutting in line when she was getting her lab work done for the fight and he questioned her for fighting grandma's in Japan before he leg kicked her and drove off... Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 The fight SUCKED and I think she lost but somehow two judges saw 49-46 and one somehow saw 50-45! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 InVicta FC 26 was another very good show with the last 3 fights being the best of the night. You can see why everyone sees a Huge upside in Dern and Maia was able to win even with getting rocked twice in the fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her ground game is obviously already there. She's gaining more confidence in her striking, which is important. Didn't get a chance to see Virna's submission win, but I can't imagine she would be far behind either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I thought about posting Dern would be in UFC by the end of 2018 but thought I might want to save that for 2018 Predictions thread. Yeah Virna's submission was silky smooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 As expected Carvalho won by KO but it only took 30 seconds and you could hear a pin drop in that arena after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Dern has surprisingly really good striking relative to her experience and for her background. Unlike many BJJ players, she throws with real intent to harm and not just for points or setting up clinches. She could be a huuuuuge star in time. Watching Rico vs. Ben Saddik and I seriously have no fucking idea how Rico didn't go down from some of the shots Jamal landed on him in the first, much less basically take over the fight starting in the second. That fifth round KO was legendary. I think I'm going to start watching more kickboxing and dig into some of the old K1 classics. This shit is so good.

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 I gotta catch up on Glory. I spent the afternoon watching the DeGale vs. Truax Showtime Youtube stream and by the time that was over, the UFC card was about to begin so I only caught a GIF of the main event finish.

Guest Edwin Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Four more fights have been announced for the upcoming RIZIN events at the end of the month: December 29: Shizuka Sugiyama (15-4-1) vs. Kana Watanabe (1-0) Hiroyuki Takaya (22-14-2) vs. Baataryn Azjavkhlan (2-2) Satoru Kitaoka (40-15-9) vs. Strasser Kiichi (18-7-2, 1 NC) December 31: RIZIN Kickboxing GP: Tenshin Nasukawa vs. Yuta "Cat" Hamamoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 If the dude Takaya is fighting didn't have a Fightfinder pic, I would swear that Baataryn Azjavkhlan is the name of a fictitious person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Takaya should be able to KO him. The best guy he's fought is Takafumi Otsuka and he lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the point is to get Takaya a win since he is on a losing streak and to set him up for someone else who would benefit from having Takaya on their resume as a win, but he is one of those guys even past his prime that you would like to see matched against another decent fighter to make a good scrap. I'm surprised they just didn't do this on a previous show and then put him against the person who they want to win at NYE because Takaya hasn't fought for Rizin since the first show two years ago.

Guest Edwin Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Agreed, but I honestly can't think of a hot local prospect at 145 right now. Also the official poster for the events is fantastic. I'm surprised they haven't gone after Hioki or Kanehara. One would think they would be locks if they ever decide to make a FW GP at some point.

Jiji Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 God damn it, I had no idea that Fight Pass uploaded so many Shooto shows from the early 2000s. They also have a tonne of K1 other than the MAX stuff. I just watched like 5 Wanderlei fights from IVC in about 12 minutes lol. It seems like they also added a buttload of Pancrase from the late '90s and early '00s. I watched Bas put the hurt on some Japanese dude in '98. I had no idea he was still doing Pancrase at that point. Also watched Minoru Suzuki get slapped into a bloody mess by Pride alumnus Kazuo Takahashi. FEAR MINORU SUZUKI (lol). I would be even happier if they bought the Sengoku WVR library. There were some fucking wild fights going on there, including but not limited to the incredible Jorge Santiago/Kazuo Misaki series. Anyway, I remember the last time I checked for this kind of stuff, Fight Pass' library was not nearly this deep. It's really impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I cancelled my Fight Pass subscription some months ago as I didn't really use it. The live streams they have aren't particularly events I look forward to and the UFC prelims they air aren't either. Considering they purchased some of the K-1 library, they should upload the HERO'S stuff. There was a ton of great fights there featuring KID, JZ squashing Japanese FW's, Tokoro, Saku, Sexyama and Caol Uno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was searching up some KOTC stuff on Google as far as confirming some results, I came across the random KOTC stuff on Fight Pass. Then, I started to check from Google if the HDNet era KOTC stuff was on there and I ended going on this long ass internet trip resulting in me on the KOTC website to the event page of a show from 2010. I saw this gem: Quote Bout #7 (Professional) Tyler Dillishaw VS Czar Sklavos Winner: Tyler Dillishaw via Unanimous Decision after three, 5:00 rounds Did Terry Trebilcock type these results himself, did they go off the NSAC bout sheet order, or did someone try to go and do this from memory? I know it was his pro debut, but goddamn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
