Don't forget that the Bellator card is going to be on tape delay which means spoilers are going to be out there on who wins.

I have a soft and possibly racist spot for the name Mosi Tatupu. His son wasn't able to carry on the name legacy but he did make it in to the NFL.

I love how much Coker is clearly in the tank for several inexperienced prospects even after they lose to scrubs and/or show no MMA aptitude whatsoever.

Let's just end this tangent with Ken-Yon Rambo and move on to Paul Daley trying to go after Michael Page of all people in the crowd.

we can only get like 4 pages of posts on off-hour UFC fight night threads, why would there be more than 10-20 posts on some tape delay bullshit from the dollar store knockoff UFC?

As good as you could hope. I was worried he might look tentative standing like in the Wonderboy fight but he was aggressive and landed the better shots in the 18 seconds the fight was standing. He was very persistent with his wrestling and obviously once he had Daley down, Daley had nothing for him. Rory vs Lima/Larkin is going to own.

i guess that fight between the 12 year old and the 24 year old was earlier and the child won by rear naked choke in the first. why'd you have to show mercy, Yamasaki?

The whole article is interesting, but to me the most interesting part is this bit of foreshadowing:

quote:

Since Momo is just three centimeters shorter and three kilograms less than Yamazaki, I have decided to accept the offer from Deep Jewels because I believe Momo is fully capable of fighting Ms. Yamazaki. As far as I know, in the past, Jewels has done fights between 13 year olds vs adults, 12 year olds vs adults, and in those fights, the younger fighters won by submission.

Roxy got strikes all of a sudden knocking down her opponent who went on to spike her at one point to get out of an armbar which seems illegal.

That sweep by Roxanne was dope. Making the the other woman look like a white belt (which she might honestly be.)

Edit: Haha. Roxanne by ground-and-pound KO was not something I expected. That elbow split her wide open.

D'Alelio has been fighting in MMA too long to be a white belt.

But she just got brutalized by loving Roxanne Modaferri.

I wonder how good Roxy would be if she trained at Syndicate (or probably any where in the US) for her whole career, instead of being over in Japan for such a big chunk

To be fair, Roxanne's started looking way better during her Invicta run. It's a shame that improvement only started after she got fired from the UFC, but what can you do.

She'll be invited but she really seemed to hate the TUF house.

Yeah it seems like Roxanne's style shifted from "anime" to "actual fighting" a little while back. It's kind of insane.

What would Roxy be like if Japan didn't exist is an interesting thought experiment but the answer is 'probably working in finance somewhere'.

Now that I've thought about it, she'd definitely be one of those real life superheroes that walks around in spandex and challenges drunks to no shoes kickboxing fights.

Did Roxy not get robbed in her last fight that was for the invicta title or did I imagine that?
