Yes, agree with that.

Stipe had the perfect game plan and the longer the fight went on the more likely it was that he was going to win.

Plenty of other people for Ngannou to KO but he'll need to improve his ground game to get to that next level.

sorry, I can't get this to embed... choo, choo :D

Ngannou must have been 40lbs or more heavier than Stipe last night. Completely and utterly taken apart. That was great to watch. Loved how Stipe took the belt off Dana and gave it to his trainer/manager to wrap around him. Dana retaliates for the demolition job by not giving Stipe fight/performance of the night bonus. Loved the Katter fight too, looked like it had turned against him and simply took Burgos apart.

Looks like that is the end of Rousey now she has properly signed for WWE. Can't say i blame her and not really worth her while returning to get her head kicked in again.

She was in the right place at the right time and got lucky as a result but the womens division is a bit different now than when she won her fist 10 fights in a combined 20 minutes or so.

People know how to defend/avoid an armbar and as soon as that was out of the equation she was in trouble.

Just about the whole of her career upto Holly Holm was her getting people in an armbar in less than a minute without really taking any sort of punishment at all, She simply didn't have an answer for someone standing there hitting her as nobody had done it before and appeared to have not even the most basic grasp of boxing/defence.

She should probably have retired after this fight as everyone now knew that you just had to hit her before she went for the armbar and you would KO her.

Good luck to her i guess, she made an awful lot of money and helped generate some huge interest in an otherwise nothing division at the time. Not bad for 30 minutes work.

Absolutely. Will Mcgregor now follow suit and go into boxing? 

UFC wise surely Nunes vs Cyborg is coming soon? Rousey is lucky she never fought Cyborg she would have got humiliated

Tyson Pedro with one of the slickest Kimuras I've seen in a while in MMA.

And such a shame Romero missed weight, murder KO.

 

Israel Adesanya will be heard from again. They gave him a grappler and he prevailed. Masterclass in picking Wilkonson apart in the second.

Frankie Edgar is finally human, and Ortega adds ko-power to his amazing subs. Holloway will have his hands full.

 

 

Welcome to the party Alexander Hernandez. Dariush is as very solid top 10 fighter, now without a chin after that and Barbozas flying knee

Potentially relevant story.   What will his next career move be?  I wonder will sumo's loss be someone like Rizin's gain?  He's way better than third tier.  Peaked in the top tier at M1 just outside the elite ranks (sanyaku).  He's only 26 so he's got plenty left in the tank.

Sumo: Egyptian Osunaarashi asked to quit over unlicensed driving

7.jpg?1

OSAKA (Kyodo) -- The Japan Sumo Association has asked Egyptian wrestler Osunaarashi to retire from the sport as punishment for being involved in a vehicle collision while driving unlicensed earlier this year, an official with the governing body revealed Friday.

The 26-year-old Osunaarashi, whose real name is Abdelrahman Shalan, has indicated he intends to comply with the request. The only punishment more severe would have been expulsion from the sport altogether.

The JSA's board of directors met in Osaka to determine punishment for Osunaarashi, the first professional sumo wrestler from Africa. He had had already been fined 500,000 yen ($4,700) by a court over the incident in central Japan's Nagano Prefecture in January.

The JSA has banned sumo wrestlers from driving following past traffic accidents involving them.

Investigative sources said Osunaarashi, who most recently competed in sumo's second-tier juryo division and was scheduled to compete in the upcoming Spring Grand Sumo Tournament in the third tier, hit another vehicle on Jan. 3 in the town of Yamanouchi.

He initially told the association that his wife was driving but later admitted to police he was behind the wheel, while security camera footage also confirmed he was the driver, the sources said.

Osunaarashi made his elite makuuchi division debut in 2013 and reached No. 1 maegashira, the sport's fifth-highest rank, in 2015.

Sumo has been plagued by issues outside of the ring in recent months. In November, yokozuna Harumafuji retired for assaulting another wrestler, while stablemaster Takanohana lost his seat on the board of directors in January, ostensibly for failing to report the assault.

Also in January, sumo's senior referee was suspended and will resign for sexually harassing a teenage referee.
