Smaller Promotions Discussion (MFC, Dream, Sengoku, Invicta, ect)

[KapG]

Maybe his arms got tired

i find it very hard to believe that Shamrock couldn't finish Kimbo off with that sub attempt. i mean, damn ...pretty much anyone could have finished him off from that position, let alone a vet like Shamrock. i know his best days are behind him, but still.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Exactly. It was shady.

 

[m9]

I don't know, it seems like an odd fight to have a fix for. I just think Kimbo is a strong dude and Shamrock is an old man.

 

[Rocko604]

That fight reeked of Elite XC.

 

[m9]

Since this is the small promotions thread and we are already talking about Kimbo, I highly recommend the documentary Dawgfight. It's on Netflix and goes deep into the backyard fights with Kimbo, Dada 5000, etc.

 

[KapG]

M9 I saw that but have yet to watch it.

Will take a peak

 

[kurt]

LOL just watched it - so weird!

 

[Avs_19]

Damn.

 

[member 51464]

The second punch definitely seemed unnecessary.

 

[the pen is mightier]

With MFC no longer being active, two of their former fighters will be meeting for what would have been the lightweight title fight on April 22 in Edmonton. Tom Gallicchio and Andrew McInnes.

Is Mark Pavelich selling used cars now?

Well, he is selling MFC.

Benson Henderson made his Bellator debut tonight and it didn't go so well. It was a one-sided beatdown by Koreshkov. 50-45 across the board but there really could have been one or two 10-8's in there. Bendo got dropped a few times in the fight.

Koreshkov had the size advantage but it was still a really good performance. He stuffed every takedown and did whatever he wanted in there.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Bendo shouldn't have gotten an immediate title fight. I guess that was part of the deal.

 

[tmurfin]

Proved once again at Benson has no business at welterweight, just not big and strong enough. But, win win for Bellator, Koreshkov just got a huge boost, and Benson can go down and work for a LW title fight.

Also, you could tell Jimmy Smith had a problem with how Bellator hyped Benson over Andrey. He really dug into Benson and shrugged off anything decent Bendo did in the fight. Joe Rogan-lite needs to tone it down.

Mayhem Miller weighs in 24 pounds overweight for his Venator middleweight fight.. This guy seriously shouldn't be fighting.. Sad at this point.

Maybe they told him 84 kilograms and Mayhem's team botched the math? Completely ridiculous.



... but dropping your shorts in hopes they weigh 24 pounds + asking, "1 hour? I've got 1 hour?"

Classic. Well done.

 

[member 51464]

So does the guy who made weight get to still fight and just get more of the purse, or is it just called off?

The promotion gave Luke Barnatt another opponent for the promotion's 185 Belt.

And Mayhem got another opponent at 205

I think i'm done with bella****

On paper, that looked like a solid "smaller promotion" card. I wish I actually read the mayhem articles when they came out, instead of laughing and moving on. I wonder if it was a publicity stunt to promote the card.

It's not a publicity stunt, Miller just has serious mental issues and evidently nobody around him is doing anything about it.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I still don't buy the fight happening.
