Rizin spoilers

Spoiler

Ian McCall lost last night via TKO (cut from sharp rope) after slicing open his face by running it down the ring ropes going for a take down.

Just seen a video of the end of the fight...

Spoiler

Such a shite way to lose a fight, then for Manel Kape to start shit-talking at the end like it was something he done that won him the fight.

McCall is a prick anyways, so I’m not exactly sympathetic.

Way too many events just lately, this is the third event in a row I've only realised is / has happened because I've seen spoilers somewhere online.

Four fighters on the main card of a PPV show I've literally never heard of, including a headliner who has a submission loss to Tonya Evinger within the last year.

There has never been a more pointless division than the UFC Women's Featherweight division. At this point Invicta's sole purpose is to crown a champion who can then be fed to Cyborg, regardless of what division they are actually champion of. I could understand it more if Cyborg could be considered a draw, but she isn't.

Way I view Cyborg is I admire her talent and I like watching her do her thing and demolish people but I'm not gonna pay to see it nor am I gonna stay up late to watch it.

Draw for me for this event was 100% Ortega / Frankie. Super crazy KO and I got so sad that Frankie got murked, but goddamn, Ortega / Blessed is going to be fireworks. Right up there with Khabib / Ferguson as the best fight UFC can make now. Can't wait for it, hopefully it's made for June or July.

This has been a problem for a couple of years already, though. It doesn't help that they needed Cyborg to save this card after Holloway got injured, so they would have thrown in a broomstick in there for her to dismantle. Last year was already abysmal, though, it had a OSP / Okami main event in 2017. 

Don't worry, though, because we're getting CM Punk in June!
