Not gonna post it because it is gross, but a dude on tonight's LFA card had serial killer fight shorts, that had pics of Ted Bundy, Richard Ramirez, and what looked like victim photos as well.

i hate that this was a grown man's idea, design, and implementation and an entire organisation is aware and proud that there is literally no content in picture format that you couldn't adorn your shorts with and fight with their blessing

I'm guessing an accidental foul vs a deliberate foul? What they'd use for a NC vs a DQ, although my memory of it is vague.

the rules allow for the ref to rule a low blow intentional or not and penalize accordingly. Basically the difference between a high inside thigh kick and a straight up front kick to the junk.

an attack that was intended to be clean but wasn't because the target is alive and doesn't want to be hit anywhere, but especially the balls, and it happened anyway.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

i clicked through all the way and that fight has an official listing of ended in the first round at 0:00 so maybe its just a joke?

There was an unbelievably gnarly destructive mir lock on CFFC just now. It was probably the nastiest arm lock injury I've ever seen.

Nah, I watched the fight. The first low blow lands within the first minute, and the second not long after the restart. I'm not sure how they indicate a NC in terms of time, but they definitely didn't fight for more than 2 minutes total (not counting recovery time).

Ahah, that makes sense. It definitely looked like a case of Huang's knee being on a direct collision course for Torres's crotch any time they clinched. It definitely didn't look intentional, but drat. I don't think I've ever been whacked in the lady parts hard enough to quit a fight, so I can't even begin to relate. (Did pass out once getting squeezed in a dude's guard before I realized I'd dislocated a rib in takedown drills right before, but that's different...)

Invicta is tonight, featuring a "title fight", except the champ missed weight, so only the challenger is eligible to get the belt with a win.

There's a 20 year old Renzo girl who learned a good headkick, knockdown in the first round knockout in the second.

Given the state of WMMA, it's not unreasonable that a veteran has been in and gotten to the top of small heaps in multiple orgs.
