    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

  5. Oh im in deep still.

    Never miss UFC (Contender Series & TUF as well), KSW, Cage Warriors, Invicta and Rizin events. All prelims & main cards. Used to watch Bellator all the time but got a bit fed up of them having a shit TV deal and only watched the bigger shows or fights that interested me. This has changed a bit now with the new tv deal and the addition of more European shows. Usually watch ONE, but missed a few shows recently because of work. Wanted to get into PFL, but missed a lot of there shows and just never had the time to really catch up.

    Been to all the UK UFC events in the last few years and been to the last 3 International Fight Weeks, UFC 217 in NY and went out to Khabib v Conor in October and already booked up for this years IFW too.

    Listen to a lot MMA podcasts throughout the week and always catch the Embedded, Countdowns and fighter interviews during fight week. Surprised I have time for anything else tbh, haha.

    Although I only really got into MMA around late 2012. So maybe not as burnt out as some people.

  6. Best MMA Fighter: Daniel Cormier, Israel Adesanya, Amanda Nunes, 

    Best MMA Event: UFC 229, UFC 230, UFC 231

  7. Love the KSW 42 card tomorrow night: 

    Main Event - Champ vs. Champ
    Mamed Khalidov (34-4-2) vs. Tomasz Narkun (14-2)
     
    Co-Main Event
    Michal Materla (25-5) vs. Scott Askham (15-4)
     
    Lightweight Title
    Mateusz Gamrot (13-0) vs. Grzegorz Szulakowski (9-1)
     
    Women’s Flyweight Title
    Ariane Lipski (10-3) vs. Silvana Gomez Juarez (6-1)
     
    LHW - Lukasz Jurkowski (16-10) vs. Martin Zawada (27-14-1)
    LHW - Chris Fields (12-7-1) vs. Marcin Wojcik (10-5)
    FW - Filip Wolanski (10-2) vs. Bartlomiej Kopera (9-3)
    WW - Krystian Kaszubowski (5-0) vs. Christopher Henze (8-0-1)
    FlyW - Karolina Owczarz (0-0) vs. Paulina Raszewska (0-0)
     
    Lipski is a beast. She probably gets paid pretty well by KSW. But if not then she needs to be in the UFC. Would be a top addition to the FW division. Gamrot, Materla and Khalidov are always fun watches too. Some British interest which Askham making his KSW debut as well

    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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.
