so mayweather is fighting nasukawa at rizin lol, what the fuck. i assume the rules will be rigged so he wins easily

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Mayweather wins via omoplata or a flying heel hook.

turns out mayweather just thought (or claims he thought) it was a three round exhibition for some wealthy people and didn't expect it to be some official event, so he's backing out lol

unrelated, but i enjoyed this vid:

@no country for old wainds did you see that crazy ass knockout yesterday?


Not mma but fuck it, this thread will do.

Cant wait for the Larratt vs Cyplenkov matchup.

Larratt has been the most dominant armwrestler for the last 10 or so years and is a complete class act and beloved by everyone .... but Cyplenkov is a beast and is in top form.And the guy looks like the human version of the fucking Hulk. If this was a matchup with their right i would say Devon would take it easily, but it's with their left so this should be very interesting.

Larratt...


@0:43 that's the GOAT, John Brzenk
@1:36 that's The Mountain from Game of Thrones




Cyplenkov...


cant wait for this one.

yeah i saw lmao. i feel bad for korean zombie, that's a hell of a way to lose a fight.

yeah man, he had that fight in the bag. All he had to do was take few steps back and wait ONE MORE FUCKING second for the buzzer. And the angle in which it hit him was so fucking weird. Dont know how someone can generated power with that shot. I think KZ contributed more to that knockout by lunging in than Rodriguez did with that goofy ass elbow. I think Tai Tuivasa's elbow knockout earlier this year was far more brutal.

Josh Barnett is the shit. He's always posting metal videos on his page.

One of the greatest heavyweights of all time. I was looking for his knockout of Pedro Rizzo when they had their rematch back in '08 but cannot find a single clip of it on youtube. And the guys last fight was awesome, him and Arlovski went all out like the OG's they are.



edit: from his wiki page
Personal life
In an interview on The Steve Austin Show, Barnett confirmed that he is not religious. In his spare time, he enjoys driving and repairing automobiles, preferring vintage models. He is a self-proclaimed cinephile and cites the director's cut of Blade Runner as his favorite motion picture.[8][54]

He plays and is a fan of the card game Magic: The Gathering.[55][56]

Barnett's moniker 'baby faced assassin' of being young looking when he was young and the new nickname 'The Warmaster' was given by the British death metal band Bolt Thrower which is a character from a fantasy-themed wargame call Warhammer 40,000.[57]

That is fucking awesome.

He's the true Little Horus.

anyone gonna watch fury wilder tomorrow? i really don't know what to expect from this, mostly because i don't know if fury's back to somewhere near his peak. i think he wins if he is, but i'm favouring a wilder KO because he probably isn't.

@TechnicalBarbarity your boy tuivasa is against JDS too. probably at some weird ass time as it's in adelaide.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... surprisingly its going to be aired live here around 5 in the afternoon. Really looking forward to it. Mark Hunt and Shogun Rua are also fighting tonight. It's gonna be great

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Silva vs Adesanya should be a pretty good bout. Really looking forward to that one!

 

[Krow]

How in the fuck did Fury get back up from that? Lame result but jesus fucking hell how can you knock someone out that can stand back up after that?

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah, that was fucking unreal. there are probably literally only a few people in the world who get up from that.

that rochin card was garbage (and tapper's 114-110 seems like a misread to me), but in his own way fury was also kinda lucky to escape with a draw. i did think he won by at least 2, probably 4 rounds though.

 

[no country for old wainds]

this got me emotional, not gonna lie. HBO is inextricably bound to boxing in my mind. it'll be really strange not to have it around anymore, even though it's been kind of shitty this past few years. this is a pretty great little retrospective.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Yeah not having HBO boxing around anymore is going to be pretty weird.

Anyone gonna be watching the big fight his weekend?

 

[no country for old wainds]

probably yeah. he failed another test and it got moved to cali just ‘cause they’ll give him a licence or something?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

oh so that's why they moved it? Haha what a dopehead.

not surprised though, the UFC has been a joke for years now.

 

[no country for old wainds]

lol forgot to respond to that but it's ridiculous at this point. they're bending over backwards to let him compete because everyone knows he's their best fighter and their "p4p number 1" got trounced by him repeatedly.

anyway, came here to post this.
