I just got back from watching this card live, and it was good fun. IRFA is turning into the best local organisation for up and coming Young fighters with good competitive matchups.

As a bonus I also spotted Joanne Calderwood in the audience. Apperantly she's been over to spar att Gustafsson's home gym, Allstars.

Yep! Wearing a Berserk hoodie myself no less. Shame about poor Alexs, he wasn't very happy with his performance. He was basically Jon Jones in comparison to that loving announcer though, holy crap. On a lighter note Karl's match was really cool. Where were you?

I sat on the "opposite" side bleachers with another guy from Pancrase. There where quite a few others there as well, but we where spread out. The announcer was just as bad last IRFA. Karl was indeed really good and it went well for Martin from Pancrase as well. Shame about Sadibou Sy though, but the guy he fought is a pretty damned good grappler apperantly, so no shame in losing.

From what I hear Sadibou is actually supposed to fight two more times before the end of May, which is pretty crazy, assuming no injuries in his fights.

When interviews with this guy started cropping up most people thought it was some weird joke or wishful thinking. Alas.

Goran Jettingstad posted:

Minowa has a tremendous amount of experience in the ring, while I only have experience in training, sparring, etc. On the other hand, my age, height, and the fact that he doesn't know anything about me and my practice works a little more to my advantage.

Goran Jettingstad posted:

Would be boring to say height [is my advantage], so I'll go with the fact that he doesn't know anything about me and my style. In the meantime we are training to be able to withstand anything we've seen him come up with in previous matches, with marked improvement.

In a bizarre turn of events at RFA 14, Junior Maranhao fell off his stool after the fourth round during the main event Friday night at the Cheyenne Ice and Events Center in Cheyenne, Wy., and he was allowed to continue to fight.

Gif in the article.

Sometimes it's a little scary being an MMA fan. Stuff like this makes me think I should probably never complain about an early stoppage ever again, no matter how egregious. Basically, BJ Penn's corner throwing in the towel between rounds against GSP needs to be heralded as a great moment in MMA history.

EDIT: And if you haven't seen it, "fell off his stool" doesn't do it justice. Dude just straight up face plants into the canvas and doesn't move.

What kind of pathetic excuse for a ring doc watches that happen and doesn't stop the fight? The first thing I think of seeing that in combat sports is epidural/subdural hematoma or whatever those are called. Dude shoulda been in a hospital for evaluation immediately. That is hosed up.

Wyoming State Athletic Commission posted:

As to your question regarding Mr. Maranhao, he was thoroughly examined by a licensed physician after he fell off his stool between the 4th and 5th round of the RFA event in Cheyenne on April 11. He was also examined by his corner men and the referee. All parties, including Mr.Maranhao, believed and stated unequivocally that Mr. Maranhao was medically safe to and capable of finishing the fight. In fact, he fought well in the last round and lost in a close split decision. He was examined by a licensed physician after the bout as well and again found to have no neurological or other medical issues of concern.
The Wyoming State Board of Mixed Martial Arts stands by our physicians and officials and has the utmost confidence in their ability to assess the medical status of Wyoming contestants. Safety is the Board’s number one priority and all necessary precautions were taken at the April 11 RFA event to ensure that Mr. Maranhao was safe to continue fighting.
