That's absolutely the behaviour I expect of a future associate of Vladimir Putin.

There is an actual pornographer that is a goon. He's had a bunch of threads in A/T that have all been fantastic reads. War machine's experience is atypical.

Pornographer interviews/Honest Q+A/exposé pieces are always extremely fascinating reads, for all the reasons you'd expect. Unless you expect them to be sexy, and then you're probably going to be disappointed, but I'd definitely recommending reading if you stumble across those kinds of things on your daily browsing.

Cody has come out of retirement:

"I've been knocked out a lot more growing up just being crazy, like skateboarding, snowboarding, sh*t like that," he said. "I used to knock myself out a lot. So it's not like I'm gonna take any more knockouts fighting. I think I have pretty good head movement. I've had my concussions everywhere. Fighting isn't that much more dangerous than life. Whatever I'm doing, I'm doing something with a risk of getting hurt."

Early stoppage.
He could have done a spirit bomb pose too if the ref had left the other guy to turtle up a bit longer.

Quality fight here and by quality I mean "hilariously horrible"

Lei'D Tapa missed with the glove touch.

Not a good sign for the odds of her landing a punch even if she wasn't dog poo poo.

"We have been keeping it under wraps but are now proud and excited to let everyone know that we bought a brand new cage for Cage Titans. We had an amazing 2015, selling out all 5 shows, and wanted a way to say thank you to everyone involved, especially the fighters, by investing back into our product. In the end, we couldn't think of any better way than getting this new, top of the line "stage" for all the fighters to showcase their talents in and are looking forward to breaking it in tomorrow night!"

Fedor probably has to face a rough 20 seconds before Wandy gasses.

He can probably 1HKO Wandy though.

Chael coming out of retirement for Wanderlei is probably the lowest possible risk fight Chael could take. Unless Chael somehow forgot his entire arsenal of wrestling ability, there's no way in hell he can't take Wanderlei down and hold him down for 5 or pound him out before.

Wanderlei's mouth on his carboard standee looks like when they put a real moving mouth on a photo on TV shows

I dunno, I think those odds aren't stacked enough in RJJ's favour, maybe the dude should have to use only his right hand at fight time.

Mackenzie Dern looks like she could be a good prospect for the 115 division. Her BJJ chops are beyond elite, beating Gabi Garcia in open weight and is only 22 right now. She debuts in July at Legacy FC, but she does BJJ from around 125 to 130, give or take a couple so she's going to be big for the weight and might struggle to cut.

Nice to see some good young prospects in WMMA as a whole though.

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


She's preparing for her debut so you'd have to assume that she's doing at least debut level stuff. She posts her striking drills on Instagram and poo poo. Who knows though, like you say. MMA is a tough game

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


That's pretty smart of her to take a fight in a lower league and quite a while on from that then. I mean, maybe she turns out as a hopeless striker and hates getting punched in the end, but she seems to be doing things right.

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


Eddie Bravo made his invitational as an antithesis to that and it's on Fight Pass from now on. There's a huge event next month on the 24th with some massive BJJ names so if you have Fight Pass and want to see submission grappling, that ought to be good.

I think it's no-gi but I can't say cos his site isn't working.

Ban him for life and then Palhares keeps fighting in Italy and nothing can be done about it until Italy decides that they're abiding by US athletic commission rules.
