Apparently he’s some YouTube star. Saw people calling him the ‘Japanese Jake Paul’ and stuff. He did actually score a knockdown at one point, to be fair. Ended as a draw. 

It was actually overturned after, as when reviewing the tape Hiroya tapped when he had an armbar on and the ref missed it. Was pretty crazy.

Loved seeing Horiguchi get the win back and end the year as champion. Looked great in there. The Gomi fight was way more fun than I thought it was going to be tbh. Really good. Tenshin put on a show again, just so much fun to watch.

Just noticed all the fights are up on Youtube now. If anyones interested in catching up, despite seeing results in here. - https://www.youtube.com/c/RIZINFIGHTINGFEDERATION/videos

I've never heard of them before tbh. So hoping it goes smoothly on fight day.

The Charriere v Banovic and Faiddine v Shanks fights are off as well cause of travel issues.

Crazy this is still going ahead. But still a fun card - https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/65887-cage-warriors-113

Not sure where to put this. 

But no one else wanna put any nominations forward for the UKFF MMA awards?

Locks tomorrow and only 4 of us have put anything forward so far. Would be interested in other peoples thoughts on last year.

Yeah. Rizin 20 was awesome. I couldn't watch it live because of work.

But watched it after and it is way at the top of my list for events of the year. Fantastic card of fights.

Yeah. Seen this on twitter earlier.

Crazy that they are still running tape delay fights over here tbh. Hopefully even with that it runs smoothly, as last time they aired fights over 3 platforms it was a shitshow and we missed some fights.

Im interested. 

Ross18 over there too.

Love the KSW 42 card tomorrow night: 

Just the top 3 fights on ITV4. Should be fun. 

Absolutely no idea why they are putting one of there top prospects in Fabian Edwards on the fucking Sun website. Surely you'd want as many eyes on him as possible. Especially any casuals tuning in just for Aaron Chalmers.

Ring walks now if anyones about - 

Wood & Reed might have just put on the round of the year.

Insane fight. Definitely worth checking out if you missed it tonight.

Saying that the whole card was brilliant. 2 fantastic nights of fights from both Cage Warriors & BAMMA this weekend. 

UK MMA seems in pretty good shape right about now.

I think they're run by Chechnyya's dictator, Ramzan Kadyrov. He's the piece of shit who's currently rounding up homosexuals and putting them in concentration camps. He's also suspected of having had Fedor's daughter beaten up in response to his criticism of ACB's child MMA fights.

EDIT: I see the_mole mentioned this earlier.

Ramzan Kadyrov runs Akhmat MMA not ACB.

Read a few dodgy things about ACB overturning commission decisions in the past. But not heard any other dodgy stuff going on. Went to there Glasgow event and loved it. Just fight after fight. No messing about.

ACB turned into one of my favourite promotions last year. Attended the Glasgow card (wasn't that well attended tbh but the fights were great) and I think I've watched all the cards since then. They usually air free on YouTube.

There slogan is 'Less Show And More Fighting' which is certainly the case. Fighters basically enter the cage as the previous fighters are leaving.

They also have there first card outside of Europe on Friday night. In California - http://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/43182-absolute-championship-berkut-51

WIll be some recognisable names on there for some.

BAMMA tweeted earlier that the full card will be streamed on there Youtube channel for anyone interested.

Going to try catch the best of both. Should be a fun night of MMA.

The Cage Warriors show was definitely streamed live on Fight Pass as I sat and watched it live on there last week, ha.

I'd presume McGeary will fight the winner of King Mo v Davis. Which is happening in May.

Although I'd of thought that if McGeary was on the London card he'd main event. Being a champion and all that. So will be interesting to see if he is on the card since the main and co-main have both been announced.

Love this idea. 

My interest in wrestling is pretty much gone at this point and only come here to see the MMA chat.

Hopefully get more involved in here too.

King Mo has torn cartilage between his ribs and also suffered a fracture. Out for 6 to 8 weeks.

I knew those fights were happening but didn't know it was a 'flag pole' event.

Look forward to it. Seems ages since we've seen Brooks fight. Always has a lot to say on Twitter but hasn't been fighting much recently. Shame cause he's great.

Yeah I was a bit disappointed with Bellator Dynamite. The fights were alright. But nothing too special.

Think not getting King Mo v Davis was a big let down. The big hyped up tournament and then we never got to see the real final. There were definitely some miss-matched fights in there too.

Also was a shame we never really heard from McGeary after the fight. It was just Ortiz and then Davis that got the airtime. I do like Bellator but would like to see guys like Brooks, Pitbull and McGeary get more of the limelight on these bigger shows and not just the new guys they sign. 

I used to be proper into all the Bellator cards. But I started working Saturday mornings and I just couldn't be bothered with the hassle of catching up. So fell out of interest. Usually just watch when King Mo fights these days.

Don't work Saturday mornings anymore and theres a few guys on this card I recognise. So will probably check this out. 

I like the look of Will Brooks. Was quite surprised when he beat Chandler twice (who I rate very highly) so this main event could be a good scrap.

Great to see McGeary win the belt. A very fun fight too. One of my favourites fights of the year so far. Had no idea what the judges were going to do. But Liam deserved the decision. Just so active off of his back. Definitely been one of my favourites to watch recently.

Although it wasn't pretty and wasn't exciting at all. I actually thought King Mo's performance was impressive and very smart. He was fighting aa guy that was vastly bigger and just completely shut him down and just ran down Kongo's gas tank. Kongo could barely stand up at the end there. With Newton losing he could be back in line to eventually get another LHW shot. But I'd like to see him take his 'moneyweight' experiment down to MW too. Could be a force there too. Also...still can't get over that it was a split decision and one of the judges scored it to Kongo. Really not sure what he was watching!

Enjoyed the Invicta event too. Grasso and Aldana impressing yet again. Only a matter of time before they sign with UFC im sure.
