A whole 3 days early??

[Eggroll]

I`m looking forward to the next Fight Night, especially the prelims. I went to highschool with one of the guys fighting (Rory Macdonald) so I`m hoping he can make a name for himself.

mousasi is fighting Goodridge on Dynamite under MMA rules! i had read before that he was on the card but his fight would be under K-1 rules or w/e that kickboxing onry shit is

[Blarg]

It's amazing to me how strange japans matchmaking is and how last minute even their biggest shows are put together. Aside from the strangeness the dynamite card on late tonight is really quite good and I'm looking forward to the fights.

God damn that gergard is like a heavier bj penn with his fighting in 3 weightclasses

Dynamite is starting for those who are staying awake.

[archibaldcrane]

For some reason I'm watching 17 year old slanty kids punch and kick each other.

[Blarg]

Yes, the dynamite cards are strange indeed, they like to have their youngins kickbox each other for some reason or another.

[archibaldcrane]

Both fights were entertaining at least. I'm hoping Minowaman can pull this out.

[archibaldcrane]

Holy shit that was amazing lol. Totally fucking unexpected. So fucking boss.

[Blarg]

I was playing a game at the same time so I missed the punch and stoppage

[archibaldcrane]

Stop brogaming! Fites are on!

[Blarg]

I'm playing dragons age and it's like 1000 hours long and I only rented it for a week, if I don't beat it then game will be angry.

[Blarg]

What the hell do you call that submission?

[tyven]

DVRd dynamite! so excited to watch it when i get home, it is tough skipping all of those comments

[Gryffes]

Aoki a classless fuck?

[Blarg]

Aoki a classless fuck?

Couldn't you tell he was doing a lesnar impersonation?

[noblemountain]

Couldn't you tell he was doing a lesnar impersonation?

lol...that's the second time he's broken someone's arm on purpose by my count. The first time "may" have been accidental. This time it was definitely not an accident. If it was America, he'd be fined or suspended by whatever athletic commission's state it happened to be in, in Japan...he'll get a new commercial.

[Dimmauk]

In case anyone hasnt seen it

Shinya Aoki vs Mizuto Hirota


Alistair Overeem vs Kazuyuki
