Don't see instant replay in the UFC very often.

alnorth 11-10-2018 08:31 PM

Yeah, that was egregious. That ref clearly and obviously ****ed up in that fight.

**** that guy, mistakes happen, refs can and will blow calls in fights, but during that replay he was only interested in desperately convincing the Colorado AC that his call was right when he obviously blew it. If your ego is too big to admit to a mistake on replay, then you should not be a UFC ref.

Korean Zombie is looking really, really good.

alnorth 11-11-2018 12:07 AM

Goddamn, Korean Zombie's fights are so ****ing fun to watch. I wish he was able to stay healthy.

Got a couple of fun UFC fights this weekend, and in other news UFC.com completely redesigned their web site, which is going to take a while to get used to.

Friday

7pm - (Fightpass) - Invicta FC 32, Spencer vs. Sorenson

Usually with Invicta you know what you are going to get, a bunch of newcomers and maybe a couple top prospects.

This card is one of the exceptions, this card is fantastic by Invicta's very high standards. All 4 fighters in the last two fights are top prospects who are probably close to the UFC, and below that you have several other legit prospects and ex-UFC fighters.

Saturday

3pm - (Fightpass) - Cage Warriors 99, Webb vs. Radcliffe

This is the top B-level promotion in Europe, but this particular card is pretty bad. You should probably watch college football instead.

7pm TV - (6pm Fightpass/7pm FS1) - UFC Fight Night, Magny vs. Ponzinibbio

The main card is pretty good, with a great final two fights. Darren "the Damage" Elkines and Neil Magny are both fun to watch, so you'll at least want to tune in for the end. The prelims.... not so much, its all prospects and guys you probably never heard of.

alnorth 11-16-2018 10:57 AM

Wow.... they really need to cancel this fight. Its not just that she missed weight by 2 full pounds, but she was a zombie who could barely walk and stand.

Weight cutting is the ****ing worst...

alnorth 11-16-2018 11:42 AM

Its a shame because Cynthia is one of the few strawweights who is kinda fun to watch, but yeah. Its the 2nd time she missed weight that I remember, and this one was egregiously bad. She either needs to hire a nutritionist or go up to 125.

She's only 5'4" though, so its probably bad eating habits. She needs to be more disciplined and stay closer to wait during the offseason.

2nd domestic violence incident we've had this year. This time, the fighter was hospitalized with a broken orbital bone and her fight in January is probably off.

So it says it was someone close to her, but doesn't mention who it might be. You think it was a boyfriend/SO?
