Speaking of late 2000's things making a comeback, Bloodstain Lane is still a thing?
Truly we live in the darkest timeline

Karaev Fan posted about K-1 55kg champ Yoshiki Takei's life story and Jesus Christ. I'd only google translated his wikipedia page which glosses over the big detail. I don't know what to say, but shit, what a story. Not Wikipedia/Google Translate's fault that the English language lacks a ready translation of the handy Japanese word "oyako-shinju 親子心中 (parent-child murder-suicide)" Takei's documentary is here (though in choppy footage). The gym he was raised--POWER OF DREAM--raises other problem children who've become noteworthy kickboxers like Egawa and weirdly enough, Singh Heart Jaideep.

Wasn't it confirmed that the non American fighters get paid some of their fight money as image rights and that's not reflected in athletic commission stuff? Incidentally, are Glory fighters get paid in tickets? I'd assume that wouldn't be on the slips either. K-1 Japan started uploading its fights in VR. Pretty funky though I wish they had multi angles

So now those Hiroya and his lawyer's accusations against K-1 seem doubtful at best after Anpo brothers defected Try Hard and started their own gym just to stay in K-1. Well, to be fair, there's also this possibility they didn't want to stay on the shelf for a year or go to court and try to get out of their contracts with K-1. Either way, it doesn't look that good for Hiroya, the gym owner. Any word about Matsukura? While I don't doubt that TRY HARD has legit grievances towards K-1 Japan, they've obviously overlooked the fact that there's a reason K-1 is able to impose those contracts to begin with. There's a world of difference between a kickboxer for RISE and a "K-1 fighter". Matsukura is fighting alongside HIROYA for RISE 125 on the very same day this event is going down. He faces Son Hyun Lee (Hiroya fights Takaya lol)

RISE 125 (featuring Tenshin vs Rodthung) gets some new additions
- Hiroya vs Takaya Hiroyuki - Matsukura Shintaro vs Son Hyun Lee
Lets see if Takaya can get his KB record up to 1-3 a decade past his prime
Incidentally, the mainstream kickboxing media has done a terrible job of covering the top kickboxing org in the world

Karaev is back!
<script async="" defer="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script> Why did it take him so long? He is 35 and hasn't fought since 2009. Sad, the guy was one of the most entertaning fighters of all time. Haterz gonna hate. 10 years ago I saw Karaev do this to Kim and swore to my friends that he was back for real this time and was gonna repeat the same thing to Semmy. I still believe

I don't think there's anything Dana or the day-to-day execs at the UFC can do at this point really. If they get rid of Conor, then that's also goodbye to any prospects of a million buy PPV in the near future. No way in hell that passes with the WME board of directors.

Beyond the Nintendo stuff, I usually play long RPG type stuff on the PC. TBH I'm getting the PS4 mostly cause I'm tired of not having played Persona 5, but would be up for anything

Ahh, the dude saying in how a great shape Benny and the Stoicas were judging by their shadowboxing on a video was priceless. Rudelb, where are you? Benny got robbed from his title just cause pillow-fisted Rico caught him with a lucky punch. Rico boy can't run from him forever. Benny champ 2018.
