Not much of a scuffle.

More a kerfuffle than scuffle

I’m glad Cyborg’s arm healed well after posting & snapping it.

Sarah smiles like a psycho when she’s ready to fight. It’s really creepy.

pretty funny that 5 stories down from this one is the discussion regarding if Cyborg is a meathead or not. Example A right there in that video. I have one unit on Villesanor so hopefuly he comes through

Justin Davis?

Just a bit curious about Justin Davis as a last-minute replacement opponent for Dennis Hallman. According to FightFinder, it appears that Davis trains at Victory Athletics, which is the gym that Hallman runs in Olympia, WA.

Hallman fighting one of his own students at a catch-weight just seems a little sketchy. Can anyone shine any light on this situation?

by Scott Haber on Jun 18, 2009 11:12 PM EDT reply actions  

I think Justin came to class wearing a H.I.T Squad T-shirt and Hallman lost it.

What a meat head.....

I just now read that thread, and it looked pretty fun.

Meatheads, useless academia, revenge plots…all good…

Weigh ins are so lame.

Idk about you guys

But really pushing at weigh ins is old and played. People really need to stop doing it.

kaufman looks like she could drop a weight-class—that’s not rude when it’s fight-related right??

by rickards on Jun 19, 2009 2:52 AM EDT reply actions  

I’d agree except with the American female MMA scene, being 135~ is where you need to be to get fights.
And she handles herself well.

by Simco on Jun 19, 2009 3:33 AM EDT up reply actions  

She can’t. She used to fight 145, and she really has nothing left to cut after 135.

i dont think cyborg is that good…at least from what ive seen and his record doesnt really reflect it either….should be a good scrap but joey is gonna smoke him! haha get it…

by baldspot23 on Jun 19, 2009 3:06 AM EDT reply actions  

wait

so beerbohm and ludwig is a catchweight fight also, or is 160lb a new weight class?

by baldspot23 on Jun 19, 2009 3:09 AM EDT reply actions  

Not even Strikeforce knows anymore.

Shayna looks terrifying. And hot.
 
Sarah just looks terrified.

No, she doesn’t. That’s her “zen smile”. It means she in the zone.

I’ll take your word for it, but you’re not disagreeing about Shayna, right?

No. THat would be silly.

Man, if people are gonna get into these scuffles at every weigh-in, we should move the weigh-in to right before the fight and put them in the ring with a bottle of pedialyte and a hamburger.

Wait, that might actually make this a blood sport.
