She's fighting a kickboxer (69-4 as an amateur and 3-1 as a professional) making her MMA debut.

Make of that what you will.

So there’s a non-zero chance gabi gets picked apart from distance and eventually KOed. Nice!

I don't understand what I just saw, but I'd love seeing old UFC fighters doing that. I am possibly the only human on the planet that enjoyed the coach's challenges on TUF.

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.

I'm still very upset that I'm never going to see Gabi Garcia vs Cyborg

Based upon Gabi's piss poor striking in the few matches of hers I've actually stomached, I think Cyborg would beat her up pretty badly. Cyborg is a real fighter even if w145 is a wasteland. Gabi is a talented grappler whose primary skill has been to be 50-100lbs heavier than her opponents via lots of steroids.

Cyborg is only 20-30lbs heavier than all her opponents due to steroid abuse. Gabi Garcia makes Wanderlei Silva look small.

So a couple months ago I saw something with Ken Shamrock where he explained, in a way that actually sounded logical and not like... insane Ken Shamrock stuff, why he protested the submission stoppage vs Royce at UFC 1 - like he explained it with a plausible thing that sounded legitimate.

I cannot remember at this time what that explanation was, and I can't find it. Anyone know?

I remember seeing some bullshit about how he was told that match would have different rules or would be best 2 of 3 or something, but I found this article where he admits defeat:

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2804552-ufc-1-25-years-later-the-story-behind-the-event-that-started-an-industry posted:

Shamrock had tapped the mat, and Gracie released the hold—only for both to discover the referee had somehow missed the entire exchange and was looking for the fight to continue.

"He's staring at me and I'm on my knees looking up and the whole time I'm thinking, 'I just got choked,'" Shamrock says. "'I just lost.' And I couldn't understand how that could happen to me. I don't do this, I can't lose.

"Royce said: 'You tapped. You tapped.' And I looked at the referee and nodded, because I did. I mean, I lost. There's no question I lost. I said, 'Yeah, I tapped.' And that just tore me up inside to have to say it. It's his job, not mine, to stop the fight. For me to have to not just lose, but say out loud that I lost—I was just like, 'Argh!'"

I see. How trained was Bob Sapp exactly? Also when did he "stop trying"?

I think he stopped trying after CroCop broke his orbital. From then on, if he didn't win immediately, he folded like a house of cards.

e: I just looked it up, and he actually had quite a few wins after that. Looks like it was between 2005-2008 that he quit giving any fucks.

Here's Bob Sapp going one on one with Mark Hunt in a tug of war contest:

They're not going to make these lads cut to 265, right?

Pudz actually only weighs around 260 for MMA competition anyways. I don't think KSW cares about weight classes, though, when it comes to Mariusz.

I believe that's the fight where the reason it was never stopped was because the ref could hear Diaz still talking non stop poo poo while grounded.

That is correct. Big John said he did not stop the fight because Diaz was still alert and poo poo talking on the ground the whole time.
