It was nice to see Neiman win, especially since he got to bust out some ultra slickness like this. Rest of the card was just blah. Rolles should stop fighting.

I wish Cro Cop had finished the triangle attempt because it would've been a perfect way for him to go out. Trying to submit people from his guard is Cro Cop's "Charlie Brown trying to kick Lucy's football".

Also I've always loved the Mendes bros all white layout.

Yeah it looks like they train in the loading program from The Matrix. Also, while I would never want Rafa to transition to MMA full time, I think it would be cool to see him fight some really bad fighter on a Z-League show to see if he could do something like pull off an MMA berimbolo.

I'm hoping at some point we'll see an MMA triple threat match. Now that would be strategically interesting.

Reading results for the recent IGF shows is so weird. Pro wrestling titles defended in shoot matches with worked storylines while aging shoot fighters do worked matches. The only thing that makes sense is Minowa tapping out scrubs.

It's always fun when someone stumbles across HiP Show for the first time. Seems to happen every few months.

I have a friend who's adamant that HiP show is terrible because it harms MMA's ability to be taken seriously. My counter-argument is that it's really loving cool and who gives a gently caress?

XFL was the same sport as the NFL with some specific rule changes. HiP show is a goofy game show relative of MMA. I'm not seeing your point.

did you see the xfl.

I watched one game when it was on nearly 15 years ago. Still it took place on a field, and not a crazy obstacle course or something. This is why the comparison is odd.

Why am I arguing this? I'm not the one who was against HiP show.

HiP Show can't possibly rack up the same kind of damage as having Tito and Rampage running around as free radicals in a constant state of creating and destroying ppv's, female fighters, unborn children, porno marriages, contract terms and their own backs.

I usually don't condone the current crop of Gracies winning in MMA fights, mostly because it's hilarious to see them lose (Like when Rolles Gracie got obliterated by Derrick Mehmen), but Neiman Gracie is a hero because he tapped out [http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/7/7/5876311/wsof-dustin-holyko-white-power-domestic-violence]immense shithead, criminal offender, and basically neo-nazi Dustin Holyko[/url]

A tattoo constitutes a legally binding contract as far as I know, so she is War Machine's property.


Serious question though, has she had that tattoo lasered off yet? I know it's expensive and might've forced her to take more time off of work than she'd want, but you figure after a break up you'd get the tattoo that says you belong to them removed.

That was Sean Gannon, who talked a ton of poo poo on the UG, then beat Kimbo in a 'streetfight', then somehow went 1-1 in the UFC. That street fight is fantastic to see kimbo gas instantly then get dropped a few times and shoot crappy singles. Plus his entourage interferes whenever he gets into even a little trouble.

Gannon had one UFC fight which he lost. Brandon Lee Hinkle then lost to Jeff Monson who would eventually lose to Tim Sylvia, thus unifying the UFC heavyweight title with the lineal Kimbo Slice bumfighting title.

I can't imagine how terrifying it must be to have a referee move you to the middle of the mat and carefully put you into a fully locked in heel hook position with Palhares. It must be like being marched to the gallows.

I'm surprised Avellan didn't just concede the match before the restart.
