Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Got the idea to this after visiting the Sherdog boards the other day. I know the Sherdog boards are a breeding ground for cretins but it is a place where you find out loads of little tidbits of news that usually bypasses the standard MMA news sites or if it's posted passes with little fan-fair. I didn't wanna clog up the news thread with stuff so i thought i'd create a different thread to post minor news/fight announcements that i come across that some of you may find interesting, im a sucker for useless infomation so this kind of stuff interests me, so here we go...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 17, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) * Alexander Emelianenko's first fight since coming out of prison is on 27th September, he's fighting Geronimo Dos Santos in the WFCA promotion in Russia. * KSW's main and co-main event's are set for the Dublin show on 22nd October, main event is between Mariusz Pudzianowski and UKFF favorite James McSweeney. Co-main is a KSW rematch between Norman Parke and Mateusz Gamrot (Gamrot beat Parke by Decision in May). * Brennan Ward/Dave Rickles are fighting each at Bellator 185. * Zack Makovsky has signed with ACB and is headlining a show they are putting on in Canada on October, he's fighting some bloke called Yoni Sherbatov. Thiago Tavares is also on the card. ACB is random as fuck. Edited September 17, 2017 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 17, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2017 Speaking of ACB being random... * There's another ACB show in the UK next weekend in Sheffield (i'll probably stick this in the UK thread in the week because i plan on watching it), but the main event is Luke Barnatt vs. Scott Askham. I wasn't even aware that the UFC had released Askham, but that's about as good a domestic 185lb fight as you're gonna get outside of the UFC.

Wouldn't mind being able to tell the grandkids that I was there to see the arsehole that is James McSweeney get smashed to bits by a jacked up boydbuilder.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2017 If you want to really tell the grandkids, you might want to sell it better as "seeing the five-time World's Strongest Man beat up possibly MMA's biggest bark".

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 22, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 22, 2017 Julian Lane is the latest MMA fighter to sign with BKB (Bare Knuckle Boxing) in the UK. He's signed on to fight Jimmy Sweeney (fresh over a win over Melvin Guillard). Ex-UFC Light Heavyweight Goran Reljic is also with the promotion and holds their Light Heavyweight Title.

Keith Houchen Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Probably not the only bare knuckle boxing you'll see in Coventry that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) So the girl folk are out of the house for a bit and I'm watching Bunce's Boxing Hour with a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich. I'm having a nice time. What could possibly ruin this? He was promoting tonight's Barnatt-Askham ACB show, by the way. He's not crossing over to fight Anthony Joshua. Although I wish he was.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 23, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2017 ahhh nice to see him on there. Ive got the episode to watch, i'll check it before i watch the ACB show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev2050 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Watching ACB and thought I recognised that voice. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm a big Mir fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2017 His interview with Bunce was OK to be fair. And I've always gave him his due as a commentator. I still think he's one of the best in the game at that. But it's just his face and whole smug demeanour. I can't help wanting to see him get twatted. He's saying that he's hoping to fight for both Bellator and ACB soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 24, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 24, 2017 yeh, when Mir was commentating regular for WEC he was probably my favorite PBP guy in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 29, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 29, 2017 Frank Shamrock is facing Kazushi Sakuraba in Rizin on October 14th...under grappling rules. 15 years ago it would have been the biggest fight in the sport, i like the grappling rules fights Rizin are adding to their shows though, it beats seeing Sakuraba beaten to a pulp.
