AFC is easily the greatest MMA comedy promotion ever. Barely trained fighters realizing getting punched in the face sucks in real-time is some powerful poo poo.

Fight Force, the Z-league promotion back home, ran a few PPVs on Ustream back in the day. Best 5 bucks I ever spent on watching men and women fighting for my entertainment.

The company that stiffed all of its fighters was based in Casper, Wyoming. This one appears to be based in Mexico, so it's probably more reliable.

FTFY. There's no Casper in Montana, and Montana's MMA promotions are actually decent and fighter friendly for the most part.

MMA Battle Royale where the ring gets progressively smaller and weapons and body armor are scattered throughout

There could be something to a ring that tightens between rounds... Dunno about the safety logistics, but that could make fights escalate weirdly.

Its really funny the bog standard language Rory uses when he talks about religion as someone who had some teen experience in a pentecostal church. Like they gave him a script of exactly how all pentecostals talk.

Japanese game shows are bizarre and sometimes feature a lot of impossible obstacles. Spike TV used to edit one of those shows and present it as Most Extreme Elimination Challenge or MXC. They just had a half dozen people record voice overs and edited hours of the show down to 22 minute episodes. It was always a good laugh when it was on.

I think the Japanese show was Takeshi's Castle or something like that.

Yep, Takeshi's Castle, brought to us by Beat Takeshi of Battle Royale and tons of awesome Japanese gangster movies.

i clicked through all the way and that fight has an official listing of ended in the first round at 0:00 so maybe its just a joke?

Nah, I watched the fight. The first low blow lands within the first minute, and the second not long after the restart. I'm not sure how they indicate a NC in terms of time, but they definitely didn't fight for more than 2 minutes total (not counting recovery time).

Marching Powder posted:

an attack that was intended to be clean but wasn't because the target is alive and doesn't want to be hit anywhere, but especially the balls, and it happened anyway.

coconono posted:

the rules allow for the ref to rule a low blow intentional or not and penalize accordingly. Basically the difference between a high inside thigh kick and a straight up front kick to the junk.

Ahah, that makes sense. It definitely looked like a case of Huang's knee being on a direct collision course for Torres's crotch any time they clinched. It definitely didn't look intentional, but drat. I don't think I've ever been whacked in the lady parts hard enough to quit a fight, so I can't even begin to relate. (Did pass out once getting squeezed in a dude's guard before I realized I'd dislocated a rib in takedown drills right before, but that's different...)

When I still had FightPass, Invicta was always a great watch. Mostly because these women will not loving die. They'll go 3 rounds with concussions for the MMA equivalent of hotdogs and handshakes. Insanity.

One of my favorite Invicta moments was when their Brazilian translator turned out to also be one of the women fighting on that card :allears:

And also any time Angela Hill or Roxy fought.
