Kai Kara-France is fighting, he's a really fun Flyweight from New Zealand, kickboxing heavy action fighter. I would have said his opponent was kind of a nobody except he choked out Tim Elliott in his last outing. Brad Riddell is another one of the City Kickboxing boys who had a loving cracker of a fight last year against Jamie Mullarkey. Those two in particular I'll definitely be watching.

I hope you get crushed to death by a fat guy trying to commit suicide by falling out of a window and when the paramedics answer the local bystander asking if you'll live, he just says "fat chance" and laughs.
Brad Riddell can be fun

Both main event fighters made weight, Costa is probably IV'ing his way back to being a balloon animal as I type this.

At weigh ins he looked like alot of fighters look after they rehydrate. I was surprised he's only like 1 or 2 inches shorter than Izzy considering how swole he always looks.

I remember when Holm was shook walking to the ring for the Rousey fight.

Dawodu is a pretty fun kickboxer iirc. Should be a decently entertaining main card

3 and a half hrs till the card starts. Izzy is going to steamroll Costa and it's the last we'll ever hear of him.

Costa is one of those guys I plan to enjoy while he's here because the second his chin starts to go it's gonna be a really awful decline.

Was the immediate follow up because one of them needs a training bra, due to the gyno?

It says volumes to me that Costa ate Romera's offense for rounds and Izzy knocked him out.

Eh, many fighters lose their chin after facing extremely challenging hitters.

Look what happened to Condit and Lawler.

Shame about Reyes. He actually grew up in the same town I did. In the Embedded videos, him and his posse just bled High Desert hood rat energy.

Lots of fighters have said it isn’t power that knocks you out, it’s speed accuracy and the surprise. What caught him was spectacularly accurate but at an extremely odd angle.

the punches Izzy dropped Whittaker and Costa with were pretty similar, lean back left hooks that caught them both reaching and awkwardly positioned, just real slick poo poo

Costa's KO loss didnt come from a shot on the chin. It was a glancing shot on his temple that started the final flurry.

"chin" is just a term for "apparent ability to absorb head strikes"

He has come home, where he belongs. The Ancient Mariner returns to lead his first team to glory, forever and ever. Amen!


It seems to me that Izzy cuts like almost no weight, is that just me seeing him as scrawny or has anyone ever asked him about his weight cuts?

There’s that video of Izzy and Hooker sparring, where the middleweight doesn’t look that much bigger than the lightweight.
