Not particularly.

- Jub Jub is no longer a champion, as MMMA folded. Han Zi was also employed by them.

- Pepe Magnifique (-330) has been booked to fight Matt McGrath (-140) on the main card at MFC 59: War Machine. He is also in talks with WSOF.

- Jimmy Riley (-1100) has been booked to fight Alan Jouban (+870) on the main card at ACF Brave New World.

- Stan Darsh has been booked to fight Justin Edwards at a Large local show. (First one of these - large local shows are against other real unemployed fighters, so it is possible to lose)

- After his loss, Donny Grumbles left Reign MMA for Legends MMA.

- Red Roo has left Integrated MMA.

My client wishes to express his feelings towards the ruling body; namely, that they are cowards. Only a fiend, unworthy of being involved in our great sport, would fail to recognize GIOTori!'s incredible fighting spirit, and slur his ancestry by pulling him out of the fight. He hopes to educate the fine, upstanding "backstabbing weasels" of the committee on what real mixed martial arts are. Through his instructional DVD set and specialty herbal energy drink. Thank you.

Yeah, are the fight metrics available? Then we can judge who should have won. Although he probably got a judge biased against his style.

So Strickland won because he controlled the pace of the fight for the most part.

FIVE STARS!!

My client wishes to express his feelings towards the ruling body; namely, that they are cowards. Only a fiend, unworthy of being involved in our great sport, would fail to recognize GIOTori!'s incredible fighting spirit, and slur his ancestry by pulling him out of the fight. He hopes to educate the fine, upstanding "backstabbing weasels" of the committee on what real mixed martial arts are. Through his instructional DVD set and specialty herbal energy drink. Thank you.

GIORNO Toriyama would like to address allegations that his instructional DVDs are, quote, "worthless," and - allegedly - "teach wrong on purpose." GIORNO Toriyama urges everybody to remember that the true way of shoot fighting is to find your own road to unparalleled strength. To this extent, his DVDs are a great value and should be considered a staple of any aspiring fighter's training.

In addition, GIORNO Toriyama would like to address the rumors of his detractors who say that the "training session" he was injured in was, in fact, a professional wrestling match. These rumors are completely true. There is no shame. Thank you.
