Did Shamrock just run out of arm strength on that choke? He had him RIGHT THERE

He gassed on a choke

He literally didn't prepare for Kimbo to be stuck like that for any longer than 10 seconds

Bromine posted:

So, is Bellator always like this?

I don't know, but damned if it didn't make me excited to see Tito in a title match later in the year

I like that they're praising Kimbo for his power, completely ignoring the fact Shamrock gassed while keeping him still on the ground

I justed watched Bellator for the first time in a couple of years, but gently caress I cannot take that organization seriously. It gives of this cheezy pro-wrestling vibe with the garbage entrances and roidfreaks. How can anyone take this poo poo seriously if they really don't give a drat about their real fighters? Scott Coker is a dipshit.

It's the TNA of MMA and deserves to be treated as such

I agree but the oh-so-close guillotine followed by the ko did seem like one of the shittier rocky movies.

A geriatric gassing holding a guy still and then being blown over by one punch after getting stood back up isn't even in the top 50 most unbelievable things to happen in MMA this year, and the year hasn't even lasted 6 full months yet

What is this Fedor news based on? There's a rumor he's coming back every few months it seems.

Even if he were to end up in the UFC it might be best for him to consider moving down to light-heavyweight. He was always a small heavyweight who relied on his skill and speed to take down bigger opponents, so with advancing age he should probably try to compensate for the loss of speed and stamina by moving to the lighter division.

Compensate for the loss of speed and stamina by moving down into a lighter division where the other fighters are faster and better conditioned? Seems good.

Oh god that's actually going to be used for the one-night tournament with King Mo, and the main event of 2015 Tito fighting for a belt, that they announced on the Kimbo/Shamrock event :lol:

attackmole posted:

Remember when Ken Shamrock said he was gonna do a bare knuckle fight against James Quinn McDonagh earlier in the year? Was there ever any news about that after a vague announcement? Obviously it's a loving joke with next to no chance of happening, but they announced it in January claiming that it would happen in April and then it's just been radio silence since then. I was at least hoping for some train wreck twitter meltdowns and maybe some old school pikey youtube video rants.

It just never happened, he fought Kimbo in that hilarious event a month after it was supposed to happen

So through two fights, we have the canniest can that ever canned, and a guy who I'm pretty sure got KOed off nothing.

Through three and we can add a guy getting one-punch murdered

First round was poor but I didn't think that was that bad of a first female fight in SUPERKOMBAT. Boring but at least there weren't ridiculous things like there were in the rest of the fights

ed: Just as I say that, majority draw :lol:
