I don't know why you involve my name in others' wars because you see that guy in every guy on the internet. Also their discussion was in private and we don't know what else they discussed. Some guy deleted his tweet in which he swore on another person the day before his last conflict, and it was not the Rumanian. But I am not interested like you to hunt all the freaks. I thought on this forum we don't bring in discussion other forums. Rant Thread for off topic |

I didn't ban you directly, because I wanted to see what you had to say for yourself.
Nobody is involving you, but you. There really is no 'hunting down all the freaks', because it's the same person behind every account.
You're not even hiding it; similar usernames, the exact same style of writing, spamming people's PM everywhere you go..
If you think your behaviour elsewhere somehow doesn't count here, think again.
Harrassing people for not putting Romanian fighters in their rankings? Do you not realize the level of insanity that takes?
I hoped to avoid going through the same routine that ultimately leads to banning you again so I've been lenient and showed patience, but some people just never learn.
So I'm going to say this, fully realizing you'll ignore it: please don't try signing up here anymore in the future.

The weirdo threatened me a few years ago on sherdog through PMs that he will find me and cut my throat. I replied back to him to come meet me face to face in whatever place he wants ( funny thing is he is actually from the same city as me).Surprise , surprise he did not come. If he showed up I would have beaten the national national anthem out of him.

I for one am glad the Spongcast era of Kakutougi is over. I prefer the tranquility to his spam.

I really tried, but there's only so much I can tolerate.
We don't need any toxicity here.

Interesting Dutch Fight Podcast with some big names from the kickboxing world including Hassan Ait Bassou, Mohamed Ajua and Rachid Lamalam .
Lamalam has worked as a manager/behind the scenes guy for the biggest promotions including It's Showtime and Glory, where he left last year.
Didn't listen to all of it, but some interesting tidbits and opinions that came up:
Random:
- Pro fighters coming in over weight is a disgrace.
- Unfluencers getting big chances is an insult to real fighters.
- Joe Schilling has a bad attitude.
- Part of the reason Leko was so angry after his first fight with Badr is that Leko flew out of the ring during his own entrance, cutting his face and shin in the process. Apparently you can see signs of it when you closely study the footage.
Glory:
- After they took over It's Showtime, Simon Rutz stayed with Glory as an advisor, but asked to be bought out when they wouldn't listen to any of his advice.
- Management doesn't care about people and has no clue about fighting.
- During Glory's early days, their business structure was a reverse pyramid with way too many decision makers.
- Glory is on its last legs. All their decisions are built around short term succcess.
- Their medical inspection is very good compared to a lot of other sports/promotions.

Random: - Unfluencers getting big chances is an insult to real fighters. Don't really see much issue with this, don't watch it if you don't care for it.Glory: - After they took over It's Showtime, Simon Rutz stayed with Glory as an advisor, but asked to be bought out when they wouldn't listen to any of his advice. Hmm...thought they paid him outright and he stayed on to sort things out for a while at least like people often do. Figured he then left willingly or he just wasn't part of their plans and Glory froze him out. You certainly want some experience but quite frankly you wouldn't need that many many of those legacy people either, specially if they were expensive.- Management doesn't care about people and has no clue about fighting. - During Glory's early days, their business structure was a reverse pyramid with way too many decision makers. Yea  - Glory is on its last legs. All their decisions are built around short term succcess. Not so sure about this. They do in some ways want to wring out more money directly now than before. But then they do also build their online viewership and the upcoming Glory Fights/Glory Fight Fight Fight streaming service isn't exactly something for just short term either, they could just keep doing what they did for the past ppv events.- Their medical inspection is very good compared to a lot of other sports/promotions. At least something good  |

Don't really see much issue with this, don't watch it if you don't care for it. Honestly I can't stand it and agree with the notion that it's a big middlefinger to athletes dedicating their lives to get even a fraction of the opportunities these social media clowns get. I get it: it's all about numbers, I understand the logic and reasoning behind it, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't have an issue with it. It's bleeding into kickboxing as well. Promotions like WFL putting influencer fights on the same cards with the pro's, Glory taking social media followers into account for their rankings etc. During the podcast it was implied that Jason Wilnis' Glory contract wasn't renewed, because he didn't have enough followers on Instagram. What? I mean, it's a bit hard to follow up on that, because Wilnis has been going through a bit of slump and a statement like that might be damage control, but I woulnd't put it past Glory. Not so sure about this. They do in some ways want to wring out more money directly now than before. But then they do also build their online viewership and the upcoming Glory Fights/Glory Fight Fight Fight streaming service isn't exactly something for just short term either, they could just keep doing what they did for the past ppv events. I'm not sure what to think. Going without an event for 8 months and putting all your chips into a so-so Badr headliner in hopes of doing a 10k+ crowd and great PPV numbers while being unable to secure a meaningful TV deal for over a year doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. One of the points being made was Glory's inability to truly create new stars and the overreliance on Badr and, to a lesser extent, Rico. Of course Glory's brought up a lot of guys that our community tunes in for, but in terms of reaching a larger, more general audience, I get it. Don't get me wrong G78 card looks great for the most part, but somehow I can't help but feel like this is somewhat of a Hail Mary shot. The one thing that does give me some hope is that Glory has been signing a good number of fighters. Let's see. |
