Combat Sports Positivity? Where?

[wandshogun09]

Not MMA but fuck it. Andrew Tate got beat up on some Misfits Boxing thing last night. And apparently the guy he lost to was awful himself which makes it even funnier. It went the distance but it did provide this wonderful image…

There’s “Top G”.

Even in his prime, Tate's combat sport career wasn't as impressive as he makes it out to be.

The kickboxing world title he won was apparently akin to winning a King Of The Cage or Gladiator Challenge title in MMA. A dude who ranked kickboxers across organisations when Tate was active claimed he never considered ranking Tate near the top of his weightclass (my memory is hazy, but this was possibly Lucas Bourdon). Gabriel Vaga also studied Tate's fight and described his skills as "so-so", not a bum, but not someone who would thrive in the major kickboxing organisations such as Glory.

I will also add that I found it sad that Kugan Cassius and IFL have been sucking up to Tate lately. I don't pay much attention to Tate typically, but an interview with him conducted by "Koogs" popped up in my suggested videos a few weeks ago. Cassius was all over him, openly bashing Tate's critics rather than staying neutral.

Yeah IFL went down the pan a while ago for me. I used to subscribe to them on YouTube and follow them on Twitter but there was a point in this whole ‘influencer’ Boxing thing where my feed was just full of Onlyfans women or whatever who were Boxing on some show, doing interviews with IFL with headlines of them talking about sucking dick and stuff. I mean, there’s a place for all that stuff but I don’t need it in my sports content. It was everywhere at one stage to the point it became so annoying I just unfollowed and unsubscribed and I haven’t looked back.

I didn’t see Kugan pandering to Tate but it doesn’t surprise me. Also saw the other day, they were interviewing Tommy Robinson. The clip went viral because Ty Mitchell confronted him and shoved him so I saw it. It wasn’t Kugan doing the interview to be fair but the guy who was doing it opened up by saying he was “more than delighted” to be interviewing Tommy Robinson. Yeah, bollocks to IFL.

If you wanted more reason to hate IFL, I've seen it mentioned on boxrec forum that it has received funding in the past from the Kinahan lot.

 

Amusing weekend for Internet dickheads getting twatted.

I think that's more or less an open secret.

IFL were sponsored by MTK for ages. Furthermore, Kugan publicly endorsed a documentary, which speculated that high ranking police officers and the government were involved in an attempted murder of Kinahan at a boxing weigh-in.

I did find it amusing that Kugan was well up for a ruck with Prince Patel (a Super-Flyweight), but did fuck all when Chisora kicked off on him during an interview.

🤣

There was also this video of some little prick called Jack Doherty who I’d never heard of until now but apparently he goes around fucking with people then hides behind his bodyguard/security talking shit. Well, he tried that shit with Andrei Arlovski of all people this weekend. Even the bodyguard shat it…

So yeah, between these three examples and the Tommy Robinson thing, a great weekend all round when it comes to dickheads getting checked. 

[Cousin Jim Bob]

Jack Doherty is one of those dickheads who have been booted off every big streaming site, Twitch/YouTube etc and are now on Kick with all the other fuckwit's.

He does that IRL constantly live streaming shit, causing trouble everywhere. Like Rampage's idiot son.

Amusing watching Arlovski just casually batter his whole crew and security. Like the Tommy Robinson clip you can see the fear in their eyes, when their security is either not there or has run off.

With his phone in his hand the whole time which makes it even funnier. I wish he properly hurt at least one of them though. You could tell he wasn’t even in second gear.

Cain Velasquez is a free man.

Hopefully he can just have a quiet life with his family now. Social media is full of people going “he should never have been in prison” but that’s bollocks. As a parent I can totally understand why he lost his head and went after the wrong’un but in the process he put a bunch of innocent peoples lives in jeopardy. He had to serve some time for that. It’s nice to see him back with his family though.

Guess you can never discount him making a return to MMA, or even Bare Knuckle to make some quick cash for his family.

Major Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul vibes with that video too, especially when it turns into a POV vid from the trumpet player at a minute in.

It might be a bit too soon but it really wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up on the Rousey vs Carano show on Netflix. They’re gonna need an undercard. I wouldn’t trust his body not to completely fall to bits on him though. He was injury prone at the best of times.

Here’s an interaction I never expected but had me grinning from ear to ear. Arnold and Stipe!

Not MMA, but this is a lovely little moment. Description explains what's going on.

Changed the thread title because why not?

Lovely clip that. Would’ve been better without GAD though! Nah really nice to see that.
