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.

Was this about the Harrison fight? I don’t remember seeing such a free flow of blood before. Very metal but also somewhat concerning. At what point do you stop a fight due to blood loss?

Watching Karate Combat on BeIN sports (which apparently is in my tv’s TV Plus app). It’s also on YouTube, too?
https://www.nbcsports.com/northwest/seahawks/marshawn-lynch-will-provide-color-commentary-karate-combat

Rutten is fine, Callen is annoying, Marshawn is quiet but has some goofy energy to match the incredibly fake cgi backdrops out of Tekken, which Marshawn pronounces Taken, it turns out. I think he was comparing a dropping spin kick to King’s moves.

The rules prohibit elbows and knees but allow takedowns and 5s of striking on the ground, which I like. It matches the vibe those karate one knockdown demonstrations that end with a punch to the downed fighter.
And I just saw a fight ended where the ground punch KOed the guy, where a 10 count would have saved him.

I think the formula on standup combat sports has refined some to be more watchable by casuals, but I would at best just watch it in passing at a bar.

The hired extras with coolie hats in what is supposed to be Southeast Asia but looks like Mesoamerica is lolful.

Def watch the KO for how the rules enabled it, and that crazy rhabdo reaction during the decision announcement in the last event.

They're up to Pride 5 and they've just learned not to do no time limit fights because Renzo Gracie keeps stinking up the place.

Two more notes about Karate Combat:
- they're being even cagier than the UFC about where they're producing it, just completely not acknowledging COVID. The official stance is that "it's in space"
- Bas Rutten is billed as 6'1", and both Callen and Beastmode are 5'11", but Marshawn comes off looking much bigger:

He is standing a bit closer to the camera (both he and Bas can touch that table in front of them, but Marshawn is like leaning on it), but it doesn't feel like that'd be enough. Maybe he's wearing huge sneakers and the other two are in dressier shoes.

Holy poo poo. These Pride streams are a gift. I had never encountered Olaf Alfonso before, but his pre-fight promo he claimed to have not trained or lifted weights in six years and only meditate and visualize fights and claimed a bunch of knife and bullet wounds from "Working for the military"...

So yeah Sakurai flatlined him in less than two minutes.

That's the kind of fighter I love to see get wrecked over and over. They're just awful and try to give themselves some air of mystique by saying weird poo poo. Exquisite.

My favorite part was her punching him repeatedly in the back of the head because he's so fat that it was nearly impossible to actually hit him anywhere else after he faceplanted and poorly curled up.
