    Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Four

    Two US based heavies that may make it to DWCS in 2025 made their pro debuts recently. The first is Adrian Palmore and the second is Devon Simons. They are still very early in their careers, and both are very different fighters. Palmore has heavy hands and a wild striking style, while Simons is...

    Great event. Glad Horiguchi took it. Now it's time for sleep.

    Wow, Ashizawa is savage. Reminds me of Michael Page throwing the Pokeball.

    I haven't been all that into MMA the past year, but hey, no time like the present to stay up all night watching JMMA on NYE.

    Contender Series Season 7 thread

    Crossing fingers they can get Ben Tynan on the show. He's still pretty inexperienced, but even inexperienced he's better than a lot of the HW's they've already signed. Plus it's HW, you gotta take anyone with potential, the division as a whole is a wreck and every org wants to patch their...

    How would Tyrell Fortune do in the UFC?

    You can argue the merits of different training camps, but Tyrell trains to be something he will never be. If you look at Curtis Blaydes, he trains tons of wrestling at a camp known for their wrestling. Curtis knows he's a wrestler and has embraced that for better or worse. He obviously is...

    PBP LFA 141: Talundžić vs. Brown on September 9 (UFC Fight Pass)

    Big Vanilla is going to have an easy win. Lance is going to get rolled pretty badly as a short notice replacement. Also Chris Brown is exciting, he has some crazy finishes. Looking forward to this card a lot.

    Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Four

    Jakori Savage loses by brutal KO to Braxton Smith in round 1. I had Savage on the list, but he was a fairly big question mark. Looks like he needs more work. Smith is a shorter (5'11") heavy nearing his mid 30's. He was a wrestler and has kickboxing experience and heavy hands. Not sure if I'm...

    Is there anyway to watch the old Bellator events?

    This was said above, but I know for a fact the old Bellator's are out there in torrent land. I don't visit them anymore due to bandwidth concerns, but there are some private torrent trackers out there that have a ton of hard to find events. All the old Bellator's, like 100GB of Shooto events...

    Good debut for Tynan. He needs to work on his defense, more head movement and footwork. He got tagged a few times and just kind of ate it, and while he got away with it this time, there's gonna be guys who will put you out in the big orgs. Other than that he looked great on the ground, did what...
