There was a time when wikipedia mentioned how absurd that decision was, but last time I checked to see what Cro Cop was up to it looks like it's been erased from history. Only the pour souls with the memory of that card can carry it on.

In totally irrelevant news for the few kickboxing fans who know about basketball, Darko Milicic claims he's retiring from MMA to try to be a pro kickboxer. I wish Japan still had kickboxing orgs with money because somewhere out there there's a yakuza guy salivating over all the good freakshows he could put a seven foot tall basketball player in.

So Saki was forced to vacate his Glory title after a contract dispute. He released an official statement making fun of the fight that they're hosting with Bellator and is making GBS threads all over them on Instagram/Facebook. http://www.kickboxingplanet.com/news/official-statement-gokhan-saki-vacating-glory-title/ https://instagram.com/p/5wgQ6egFEI/?taken-by=gokhansaki

Yeah. He's right that he's one of the few draws left in the sport, but I doubt that means anything on this side of the Atlantic. This probably gets said every 10 pages, but it's a shame that kickboxing is fractured to poo poo and run by fuckups. I think a lot of casual MMA fans would easily be casual kickboxing fans if there was an established North American organization with media presence. The sport is the drat definition of stand and bang. Actually getting off the ground with something like that is near loving impossible though.

The dude who runs my local kickboxing gym is getting all nostalgic and posting long rants on his facebook page talking about the history of the American long pants kickboxing scene of the 70's and 80's. Talking about hanging out with Benny Urquidez, doing analysis of grainy VHS videos of 30 year old fights, etc. It's kind of interesting, because my main exposure to that scene is generally people making fun of it online. Now he's obviously biased given that that was the scene he came up in, but he's given me some new perspective on it. There were so many dumb rules back in the day, but according to him a lot of it was concessions that the fighters were not fans of so that bouts could actually get licensed and promoted. People were scared of everything. Boxing commissions saw things like leg kicks and decided that they shouldn't be allowed because they thought that a stray kick landing to the knee would cause too much injury. The occasional Thai fighter would come to the US, have to fight under a dumb rule set and get pelted with beer cups and booed while they did a Ram Muay. Everyone was crazy uneducated. Easy to look back on and make fun of, but people were trying to do the best they could with the available education of the time. No internet. People were pretty sure Muay Thai fights were bloodsport affairs. It was a weird time. Things didn't start getting standardized until it got more popular to train in Thailand in the 80's and K-1 got off the ground.

Wouldn't he have to pay it to his family or something, or is that not how this works? I ain't a lawyer. Or is the case just straight up dropped because it was still in progress?

What's up with Gokhan Saki? He rules but he hasn't fought in like two years and is just kinda sitting around on Facebook relentlessly calling out Rico.
