Mostly a myth Thai shin conditioning is largely the result of starting training very young and doing thousands upon thousands of repetitions per week on rock-hard bags, plus regular fights. The Thais actually talk about someone having "a boxer's skeleton", meaning just a hard as fuck bone...

Hope that fight gets done, dying to see it. Was very surprised and impressed when Perry was able to handle MVP so easily in BK last year; I think if he can do that to MVP then Till's more linear style should be a cakewalk.

I guess what will be interesting is the next time he and Khamzat cross paths, now that this is out there. I can see someone in Khamzat's entourage making a thing of it.

Does anyone know why that gym keeps changing its name?

I thought Darren was on his way to BKFC for a showdown with Mike Perry but a UK newspaper is reporting that he's heading to Karate Combat. Bit of a curveball if true. Do those guys pay well? I've heard Rogan and Bas Rutten raving about them but I don't know what the money is like...

The thing I never understand about ONE is every time I hear Chatri interviewed, he's stuttering and stumbling over his numbers, can't remember facts, fudges what should be simple answers etc - I can't understand how anyone has ever given him a dollar in funding, much less tens of millions. If...

In most jurisdictions, if the headline act / event changes, you are required to offer refunds, because people have bought tickets on that basis. You can freely change the undercard - and it will usually be marked 'subject to change' anyway - but headline bouts are different, where the event is...

Agree. Also MMA was in its infancy in the prime-era K-1 days; a lot of that same caliber of heavyweight would now be pursuing MMA. Being able to accrue that amount of top level heavyweight talent was a moment in time, an aberration.

Kuzbass government isn't Kuzbass Muay Thai club; those are two different things

No the dispute was about comments Levin made about his old manager, who runs Kuzbass Muay Thai and is the father of Andrey Busygin, the cornerman / manager of Vakhitov. Whether it went on from there to other matters I don't know, but I followed the original flare-up using Google Translate. As...

By total coincidence, GLORY has desperately been trying to maneuver Tavares into title contention since his return and this eliminates the Vakhitov obstacle at the expense of a couple of other lower-tier Russian fighters who don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. In the covid era...

where was this? Monickedam is not shady, nor is Hilversum

Oberhausen, just across the border from NL Badr had not fought in NL since 2012 at that point; there was a lot of pent-up demand and it was a genuine superfight with Rico Badr vs Wrzosek II won't draw anything like that level of interest or sales, but a main event of Rico vs Overeem should be...

GLORY is non-existent in the UK; about 3000 people came to G5 LONDON and G54 Birmingham several years later had a lot less than that, even with comped tickets.

Terrible market; guaranteed money loser

So the Russian kid who fought in this last episode, he won a decision but he had a sore head afterwards. Turned out to be a fractured skull. He went for immediate surgery and all went well - he's all clear for competing in future. But man .... check out the post-surgery scar: I have never...
