I'm so fucking excited for this. Can't believe YAMMA will finally be surpassed for biggest PPV trainwreck of all time!

 

[Fox318]

See inside the theater

Also it apparently features a revolving stage so this might be the first MMA fight ever to feature a spinning ring

 

[Brinbe]

Gonna be a legendary disaster. Cantwait.gif

 

[RBH]

Is that the same Jenn Sterger whom Brett Favre sent those text message to a few years ago?

 

[parrotbeak]

Thank you for that link. That was interesting, I think.

Makes me want to watch this thing.

 

[-MD-]

It's my fight!

 

[Bluekaveli]

I read everything after thinking it was the brawl for all.

 

[Fox318]

And the show that's on tonight seems to have way more class than the fight show

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Greatest Card Evar. Bless Up.

NO MEN ALLOWED

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Yo offtopic but when is Stitches finna fight? Since he won't be fighting Game who he fighting now?

NO MEN ALLOWED

 

[Baby Milo]

is Bisping out of the UFC?

 

[Fox318]

is Bisping out of the UFC?

Nope.

You are able to do grappling matches and BJJ tournaments but you can't do fake sports like pro wrestling.

 

[bigkrev]

is Bisping out of the UFC?

No, but UFC fighters are allowed to compete in Jujitsu/grappling competitions, like Metamoris, without breaking their contract

what a time to be alive

i can't believe how effortlessly big brody was able to take off his hoodie without even disturbing his fitted

 

[Fox318]

apparently they have done Wrestling , Boxing, and MMA shows at the arena before.

Kinda curious on the ring setup as a boxing ring is not a place for wrestling and vice versa.

 

[Fox318]

New fight added to the card

 

[Archaix]

They got Shannon Ritch to show up? How'd they do that? A warm meal and a vague possibility of a check?


For anybody who isn't familiar: Shannon Ritch started fighting professionally in the 90s and had a 14 fight winless streak almost 15 years ago. And that was just the first of two separate ten fight losing streaks in his career (record 53-79).

His opponent doesn't seem to have any sanctioned fights since 2007. He beat Ritch twice by KO before then.

 

[Jamie OD]

Still expecting half of the remaining fights to get cancelled before bell time.

 

[UberTag]

Still expecting half of the remaining fights to get cancelled before bell time.

What happens if they do? Does Riff Raff play an extra set? Does Daniel Bryan do a run-in and choke Justin Roberts out by yanking on his tie?

 

[Razorskin]

We'll get to relive Summer Slam 2002 with the Angle/Mysterio fight!

 

[Heel]

Apparently, Maverick Harvey vs. Shannon The Cannon is a rematch. Put your trust in me and click this link:

[Sweeney Tom]

Yep, it's their third fight. I think Ritch lost both, but Harvey hasn't fought since

Here's Harvey btw

More details on the card

Rey Mysterio vs. Kurt Angle: 2/3 falls
​This is a pretty straightforward pro wrestling match. So much for Angle's retirement, eh? Both guys are making a nice payday for this one, so my only hope is that it's good. Given their history, I think it should be but Father Time can be a real son of a bitch.

Chael Sonnen vs. Michael Bisping grappling match
Sonnen comes into this with a big advantage, but Bisping is riding a high after recently dispatching Anderson Silva inside the Octagon. This one is three five minute rounds and a submission ends it. If no subs happen, it's a draw. There's no ill will here -- just two guys competing.

Roy Jones Jr. vs. Vyron Phillips boxing match
​So this isn't exactly the RJJ vs. "a fan" for $100k that had been originally discussed, but the 33-year-old Philllips is a pro MMA fighter and amateur boxer that the state commission would sign off on. RJJ is also 47 years old, so there's at least somewhat of a chance Phillips could pull something off.

Mavrick Harvey vs. Shannon Ritch MMA fight
​I had never heard of Harvey before Saturday and research shows he hasn't fought professionally since 2007 when he lost three fights in a row. He rematches the 45-year-old Ritch who brings a 53-79 record into this one. Yes, you read that correctly. This is his first fight of 2016 and he's looking to improve on an 0-3 2015 in which he lost three times in the first round, including once to SHONIE CARTER. Enough said. This will be terrible.

With all that said, see you at 9 PM EST Sunday night!

Whoever managed to get investors for this is wasting their talent, because they can clearly sell anything.

Regardless of outcome, there are only losers in this event
