Missed Fists: Everybody Dances Now with Stamp Fairtex, More

Welcome to the latest edition of Missed Fists, where we highlight struggles from around the world that may have been neglected in these turbulent times, where it seems like an MMA show is taking place every day.

Unfortunately, we must start on a lower note because law dogs punish Jolassanda, a beloved MMA archivist, who has played an invaluable role in providing footage and information for this film. Be sure to follow their new account.

@Jolassanda is dead; long life @ Jolassanda1!

Fairtex stamp against Asha Roka
Alaverdi Ramazanov vs. Ognjen Subject
Thanh vs. Kotetsu Boku
Giorgio Petrosyan vs Jo Nattawut
Ilias Ennahachi against Petchdam

AL: Two words: Out. Permanent.

JM: Ok … so I have some thoughts.

First of all, I have no idea what it was, but I am incredibly here for that. Secondly, does Stamp come for the best MMA dancer of Valentina Shevchenko? Because he feels a bit like that and frankly, it's the most competitive challenger that Shevchenko will have for the next five years.

AL: Challenger? The title has been taken. Nobody likes Valentina Shevchenko's victory dance after the fight, but she will still be singled out by the UFC's anti-pagean fight. Where are the backup dancers? The pyro? Where is the dance between the rounds?

On the other hand (maybe in response?), Valentina recently shared an excerpt of her dance from her old days of Peruvian reality TV, so I may have spoken too soon.

One thing is certain: Stamp can fight. Her kick-boxing and Muay Thai honors are well known, but the 21-year-old is now looking to conquer the world of MMA. She made her debut in July of last year with a 19-second knockout and now she has to show off her bidding skills against China's Asha Roka.

Speaking of Muay Thai, here is Ognjen Topic who takes a foot in front of the head, then who mocks Alaverdi Ramazanov to bring it.

It was broughten:

JM: That's the definition of more balls than brains. Ramazanov tried, very politely, to tell Topic to stay behind. In fact, he asked her repeatedly. But nooooooooo. Subject was to continue to get up until Ramazanov, finally, insists.

To continue, it's clear that ONE does not know what they have with Thanh Le, burying him in the middle of the map like this, but fortunately he's still tearing down the fools in such a way that it requires attention, showing off the former lightweight champion, Kotetsu Boku, to order.

You have to be ready for a title now?

AL: Certainly. The is probably the best lightweight that has not fought for the UFC and Bellator (he made an appearance in the Contender series), so ONE has a guard here.

Friday's show focused on kickboxing, including the semi-finals of the 155-pound tournament and the main event of the 135-pound championship.

Italy's Giorgio Petrosyan continued his momentum of the tournament, beating Petchmorakot twice and beating Jo Nattawut to qualify for the final, where he will face Frenchman Samy Sana with $ 1 million.

JM: I'm going to do this thing that is terrible but sometimes we can not help it – it did not look like the hardest shot in the world. Yes, he lands neatly and he clearly strikes Nattawut's head, but he stays on the ground with the same kind of troubled and confused look that you get from a liver, not one at the chin. I'm surprised it's the end of the fight, frankly. Maybe Giorgio broke his nose, like when Robbie Lawler stole Rory MacDonald's soul?

AL: If Petrosyan ended his fight with a precision shot, Ilias Ennehachi went in the other direction, becoming more and more berserker to annoy Petchdam and bring ONE belt to the Netherlands.

JM: You talk about a guy who absolutely rocks for fences. When we think of "champion kickboxing", we usually think of these very pretty artists striking violence. I'm not saying that Ennahachi is not that, but this final combination was more like a deadly pressure on a combat button than the ballet of violence you had been expecting.

AL: You can watch all of ONE Championship: Dreams of Gold on B / R Live or ONE, or YouTube for non-US residents.

Nikolas Motta against Cesar Balmaceda
Santos Curatolo against Elgun Khanoghlanli

JM: Moving up a gear, let's talk about the Fury Fighting Championships, which last weekend's event (available on UFC Fight Pass) in Atlantic City, New Jersey, offered strong bangers. Among them, the pioneering KO of the week, Nikolas Motta channeling Joe Frazier and leaving Cesar Balmaceda in the realm of spirits.

AL: Motta was a cast member on The ultimate fighter: Brazil 4 (who could forget?). It has had mixed results since then, but it was a great way to make its CFFC debut. Balmaceda and he were in fact a main replacement event after the fall of a welterweight title fight, making Motta's performance even smoother.

JM: Santos Curatolo is to watch. It's a little too early to say that we'll see him at Call-Up, but with a 3-0 record at the brisk weight and a workout at a respected gym with UFC veteran Nick Catone, he's n & # 39; 39 will not need much more to be understood. in the big leagues. Especially, he keeps KOs like that.

AL: Three professional fights, all for CFFC, and three first-round finishes. Curatolo, 24 years old and from New Jersey, is a pure flyweight at 5 feet 3 inches. It might be helpful to add a new member to the UFC if he was to continue to rebuild this division.

Tomasz Romanowski against Lukasz Zielonka

JM: Speaking of the major leagues, I do not know if you know, but Stipe Miocic stopped Daniel Cormier with punches to claim the UFC heavyweight title last weekend.

However, these punches were not the best in MMA last weekend. The honors will go to Tomasz Romanowski, who made an unlicensed appendectomy on Lukasz Zielonka at Babilon MMA 9 in Miedzyzdroje, Poland on Friday.

AL: We see a lot of good body shots, but there is something about a straight punch that takes away any wind at the sails of someone who is awesome to see.

Kai Asakura vs. Kyoji Horiguchi
Ayaka Hamasaki Suwanan Boonsorn
Victor Henry against Trent Girdham
Manel Kape against Takeya Mizugaki
Jarred Brooks Haruo Ochi
Hiroto Uesako against Yves Landu

Now, we would be angry if we did not talk at least briefly about some of the notable events of this weekend's Rizin 18 show in Nagoya, above all …

JM: Nope. I refuse.

AL: You refuse.

JM: I refuse.

AL: Explain.

JM: I will not do it. I can not do myself. It's officially a Stan account of Kyoji Horiguchi and Rizin did not take place.

AL: I've got video evidence that champion champ rocked by Kai Asakura in 68 seconds in an untitled fight actually happened:

JM: Look, if the belt is not online, that does not count. That's how it works, right? I'm going with that.

AL: There is also video evidence on FITE TV PPV, intended for those who wish to verify the veracity of these images themselves.

When the loss arrived, it reminded us of two or three bad losses of untitled JMMA. Wanderlei Silva lost unanimously to Ricardo Arona in the 2005 Middleweight Grand Prix (205 pounds), before successfully defending his belt against Arona. More shockingly, Jorge Santiago was blitzed and KO'a part of a round of Mamed Khalidov in 2010, although he also won a split decision in a rematch to defend his middleweight title Sengoku.

I therefore call Horiguchi to defend his rice belt by split decision against Asakura by the end of the year.

JM: Does not have. Count.

Do you know what matters, though? Ayaka Hamasaki winning the title of queen of Ronda's armband (who in turn assumes the role of Yuka Tsuji).

In addition, here's a funny fact: Tsuji's last career loss was lost by Hamasaki. This was your Jed Talks about Smackgirl.

AL: Circle of life.

We can not stress enough that Hamasaki is the best fighter in the world at 105 pounds and that it is not particularly tight.

Then a sweet bid from Victor Henry, who @VonPreux points out, should put him in shooting position for the bantamweight title of Kyoji Horiguchi …

… Oh, wait.

JM: Damn, this tweet has not aged well (or maybe since, as previously discussed, Kyoji did not lose last weekend).

And wow, this is definitely the submarine of the week. Inverted triangles are notoriously difficult to finish, but Henry has little problem here.

JM: Graceful this event was depressing. Understand me, Manel Kape is one of the most exciting fighters in the game, but it must hurt the eyes of poor Takeya Mizugaki.

Nothing gold can stay in MMA.

AL: Mizugaki's chin is unfortunately no longer what he was, but it's still a beautiful W for Kape.

And now, the former UFC flyweight, Jarred Brooks, "The Monkey God," debuts at Rizin:

JM: Finally, something delicious! Brooks' mask is spectacular and reminds us that the UFC produces a monochromatic product devoid of personality. I'm glad we can finally reverse this discussion and talk about fun things!

AL: Do not forget we are talking about Brooks, the man who succumbed to the loss after being dropped on the head trying to reprimand Jose Torres.

So of course, this one ends in 10 seconds without dispute after an accidental shock of the heads opens a cut on Haruo Ochi. Brooks was unhappy.

JM: Man, this sport blows.

AL: I think the solution for Brooks is to have his head removed. In this case, there should be no problem.

And in a spirit of delirium, we have Yves Landu who absolutely loves Hiroto Uesako in search of a strong moment.

JM: FINALLY.

This is what I expect from Rizin, a violence that is completely insane, majestic and glorious. I greet these two men as a poet warrior and greet Uesako because I thought he was going to be knocked out, but the man has hardness to spare.

AL: Uesako survived Landu and won in the round of 16. Yes, Landu fell, but damn it, he came out like a hero.

The command

JM: Good news for the end of the week: we have added a beautiful soul to our ever-growing collection of fighters that we report as boosted in the UFC. The featherweight champion M-1, Nate Landwehr, whom you probably know best from Missed Fists earlier this summer, where he held a prime spot, was signed this week by the UFC.

Lee and Meshew, makers of King MMA.

AL: If Landwehr brings half of the excitement that he has shown that he can produce in his year fighting candidate with Viktor Kolesnik in July, the UFC will have another solid addition to its stacked featherweight list.
