...ith Bellator.

So I guess Bellator reruns to go against UFC.
Saturday night is weird....

I guess K-1 can't get their act straight. Glory is better anyways.

Question: I am trying to get into kickboxing but I can't find a ranking site for divisions or a "Fight Finder" like record keeper for fighters.....any suggestions?

I have only seen Liverkick's rankings.

Fucking Meltzer is covering kickboxing now? Fuck me.

Kickboxing doesn't really have set weight divisions and there isn't a universal database for it. There's 897897987 sanctioning bodies with rankings and what not but I'd ignore all of them as they're pretty insignificant.

Spike watched the Glory events from NBC Sports like everyone else and where like everyone thought it was amazing. People don't realize that Kickboxing has these monsters that fight each other many much larger then many UFC heavyweights. Seeing these dutch monsters and other 6 foot 5 inch and above heavyweights impress more then many boxing events. Many of these guys are out of a hollywood movie set but much larger lol right in the marketing sweet spot.

Every fight was great except Semmy vs Ghita so I think it will go over well to the casual Spike Fan.....Every fight was entertaining for the noob fan to watch.

At this point it might be better than no one.

I for one don't give two shits about the newbie fight fan that everyone seems to want to market to. I'm just glad that Glory will be on Spike for my enjoyment, however long it lasts.

The stoppage sucked but that devastating headkick from Schilt was awesome...

So Spike is available in 98.7 million US households
Showtime in 80 million households ((incl. subscriptions)
CBS Sports Network in 47 million US househods
AXS TV in 35 million US households

Forgot how big SpikeTV really is. What's source is Meltzer referring to?
