Dutchies got any dodgy streaming sites that has 24/7 streams for some of your channels?

Enfusion seems to be live on Viceland there.

If one of them actually works it'll have to kick off any minute now.

Viceland is a bit of a 'rare' channel here, didn't see it listed on any of the m3u lists I could find.

Spam my shit from sherdog to here as well!


Figured I haven't really posted about this yet...


A while ago Kunlun changed their B-level events to a new format and those are now called Kunlun Combat League. There's been something like 45-50 of these since late October. 5-7 events a week, ~6 fights per event, Monday-Tuesday usually off days. All at the new purpose-built Kunlun venue in Tongling where a couple of the last numbered events have also been held.

Gyms/teams from 16 different Chinese cities.
Fights at 52.5kg (women)/61.5kg/66kg/70kg/75kg/80kg

Every event gets decent posters and they also do short break down of the fights, in Chinese anyway.














They're currently in a qualifying stage of sorts, 3 best teams from both groups of 8 teams get through to the next season, or I guess what's the actual start for the league. The bottom 10 teams have to qualify by beating 10 new teams trying in for the league.



Mostly new young Chinese pro fighters, but also a bunch of Thai's and Russians/Belarussians/Iranians etc.



The venue probably fits 1000-1200 people or something around that and attendance has seemed to be pretty good so far too. The fights are, or at least were, also broadcast on late night tv. Hopefully is sustainable for them.

VODs used to work very conveniently straight in VLC too:

Now I guess there's someone there who can't follow a simple workflow and the date based naming scheme just became garbled

Fun things going about next year for RISE. They're doing 3-4 events the scale of RISE125/129 (few k in attendance) with two 8 men tournaments. At 57-58kg expect to see Tenshin, Suakim, Rodtang and Shirou. At 61kg, Taiga.

Also, forgive me but I'm going on a brief social media hiatus (actually K1power, great if you can temporarily suspend me till Dec so I don't wander back by habit). Expect to see me back by the time of the next K-1 event

[fartsmeller]

It sucks that the dynamic hasn't moved on from Tenshin having to beat on these absolute cans from other sports, like Floyd Mayweather, in between the serious fights.

Seriously though I'm really glad that they've expanded the RISE world series concept and aren't doing one night tournaments. Suakim and Rodtang put themselves and their opponents through the grinder. Can't wait to see the matchups.

See you in December dude.

[rictor]

I'm still amazed Tenshin vs. Mayweather is actually going through. Wonder who funds this. Like who is really giving the money :hmmm:

But either way, it's still a big fight and great publicity for Rizin. Or maybe it's a bigger publicity, but for Tenshin?

This is 5 days old news but I just saw it today in a chinese forum

[fartsmeller]

Yi Long asked to fight the biggest guy in combat sports but there was a bit of miscommunication

[Shadess]

Think it wasn't actually Yi Long but some slightly more random guy.

Between this, the UFC & Bellator events and Wilder vs. Fury this is a pretty big weekend of fights.
