Insane knockouts but the highlights seem somewhat diminished by the lack of crowd reaction.

Kampfkalender is freaking awesome and converts every event to your time zone: https://kampfkalender.de/
Edit: Also shows the applicable streaming service, but only for Germany, I think.

Still one of the sickest knockouts I've got to see live (on screen). The way Reyes folds on the canvas looked so scary.

Summary: Pay is weighted towards the top guys who earned decent money. McGregor e.g. earned about $25 million in the revealed time period of 2011 to 2016. The stars in their prime days earned about 3-5 million per fight.
What I found interesting besides that is that the McGregor effect seems to be real: Jose Aldo earned ~10 times as much in his fight against McGregor than in his other two fights with revealed payouts.

136 mph in a 50 mph zone "while also weaving in and out of traffic". If that is the full story, he really should go to jail for that imho. Sad to see that he is such an irresponsible person.

Georgia follows Colorado in allowing knees to grounded opponents and 12-6 elbows for ONE, so maybe we'll eventually get them in UFC as well.

Do yourselves the favour and watch this ridiculous Muay Thai fight from today's card. Beautiful violence.

Especially considering that it might well be a knockout if he loses. And two KOs in such quick succession have got to be terrible for long term health.

If you don't wanna read the article, here's the list:

JP Buys
Jake Collier
Carl Deaton
Andre Fialho
A.J. Fletcher
Hannah Goldy
Kamuela Kirk
Tucker Lutz
Jannifer Maia
John Makdessi
Shane Young

Sad for poor Buys and crazy turnaround for Fialho after the hype with which he started in January of 2022 with two wins. His example really should caution fighters to not be overly active in my opinion, especially if you have a kill-or-be-killed kind of fighting style.

He's a fucking idiot but goddamn is he funny: "I saw doctors today. The progress is good. I’m happy and proud of this because I’ve already tested my hand Saturday in the arena. They are so proud of the service because I punched [someone]. They said, ‘Paulo, you did pretty well. You are not allowed to do any exercise except beat some Chechen heads if you see them in front of you.’"

First time I saw Doumbé. Looks like crazy power and I actually found him very likeable as well. Exciting!

Absolutely beautiful violence. Split him open, knocked him out cold, and all that with a gorgeous, flowing combo of hands and elbows. Muay Thai rules!

I love the smell of MMA while the sun is still up for once.
