News today:
GSP just signed a new contract with the UFC. USADA granted a retroactive TUE to Cyborg, so she is now clear to fight. edit: Quote:

lolololol
Mitrione is ill, and out, the main event for Bellator tonight is cancelled. The CSAC is forcing Bellator to give full refunds to any fans who ask for it before the main event. Chael Sonnen tried to volunteer to fight Fedor with just hours notice and Bellator tried to make it happen, but it didn't come together. edit: It was a kidney stone. Mitrione still wanted to fight, but the commission pulled him. Last edited by alnorth; 02-18-2017 at 06:00 PM.. |

Well, she's no Paige Van Zant I'll give you that, however, everybody and their mother watched(or attempted to) 2 girls and a cup, for free...

I would venture to say that a lot of people that watched that video had no knowledge of what it was before clicking on it. Luckily I caught wind of it from friends before someone was like "hey watch this!"

Right. In my case somebody dared me even bet me $20 that I couldn't watch it for 2:00 minutes without looking away in disgust. I lost that bet by the way:-)

Schedule
Thursday 10am - (Fightpass) - EFN 59, I guess you can watch this if you have the day off? Friday 7pm - (Fightpass) - Glory 38 (kickboxing) 8pm - (Spike) - Bellator 173 Saturday and Sunday nothing So, one good resource you can use when looking at cards from B-level promotions and/or fighters you never heard of is tapology.com Those guys go really deep on rankings, I'm not sure how they do it, but they have a top-100 world list for every division, and then beyond the top 100 in the world they also have lists for every region. (Southwest USA, Midwest, UK, Japan, etc) For small regions you might have a top-10 and for large regions you might have a top-100. If you want to know, say, the #8 welterweight in Illinois who is not ranked worldwide, they have that guy. (just looked it up, its some dude who went pro after going 4-0 as an amateur and fought 3 times in 2016 as a pro, going 1-2) Anyway, I don't recognize hardly anyone on that Bellator card, and judging from Tapology its a very, very bad card even by Bellator standards. Impressively bad. The main event is mildly interesting with the #16 LHW fighting some can who is only regionally ranked, but the rest of the card has nothing. Bellator events usually have a lot of top-100 fighters with the occasional regional fighter, and this card is way worse than that. I guess there's boxing on Saturday, but this is a good weekend to completely ignore combat sports, next weekend will be a lot better. edit: just for laughs, I checked to see how deep the regional rankings go for what is probably a deep pool: LW fighters in Brazil. Holy crap, they have a top-793 list for that group. The very worst pro Brazilian LW fighter, at #793, is a guy who fought 6 times in 2016, going 0-6, finished every time with 3 KO's and 3 subs. |

Thinking a lot about this today, this really shows how much of a sham the UFC matchmaking is. There are a handful of really good 185 lbers on the roster who deserve a title shot. Shit, Yoel Romero was PROMISED one. Rockhold, Jacare, or even Kelvin Gastellum but GSP????
