This is what I was hoping Delija would adapt to, I always said if he added more wrestling into his game he'd be tough to beat. A fight with Grabowski would be fun, I think Delija has the tools to beat him if he doesn't let Grabowski take him down.

Can I upload video from IPhone without tube?

Just for you my friend:

Spoiler

Oli Thompson defeats Minowaman by unanimous decision
Chris Barnett defeats Emil Zahariev via TKO 2:58 Round 2
Fernando Rodrigues Jr. defeats Antony Rea via TKO 1:52 Round 1
Yosef Mohammad defeats Dion Staring via TKO :48 Round 1
Shinichi Suzukawa defeats Ik Tae Jin via TKO :18 Round 1
Satoshi Ishii vs. Nick Rossborough via Submission(arm lock) 4:22 Round 1

Awesome thank you!

Spoiler

Slightly surprised that Rodrigues pulled that off, he's not going to last long versus Yosef in the next round though. I still think Yosef will take the tournament, he's too fast for Huggy Bear. Barnett hasn't fought any exceptional athletic talents that have more speed than him, Zahariev looks like he ate at McDonalds daily for his training camp leading up to that fight.

Eric Prindle signs with Pancrase expected to debut aug 9th.

Also Lorenzo hood (who lost to your boy) just signed with Bellator

 

[theojamal]

anybody have footage of the huggybear fight (2nd round tko) from today's IGF 3 tourny?

 

[Farbeyondthesun]

I think Yosef Mohammad might be UFC bound with that win... Wouldn't hurt to pick up some more experience though.

Hood isn't bad, big scary looking dude anyways. He trains with Joe Cason. I would have grabbed Brandon Griffin instead though.

Pancrase mma press release:

PANCRASE Heavyweight class is now even stronger! Eric "The American Soldier" Prindle will enter the Decagon!!
PANCRASE MMA have signed a fight contract with experienced former Bellator MMA fighter, Eric

 

[The_Renaissance]

Kraniotakes is fighting Lahr?! That's going to be a huge size advantage, Lahr is tiny at 205!

Yep, Lahr should be MW, he's only what, 5ft 9in and not particularly jacked either. Andreas will smoke him based simply on size and experience.

A shame Sanchez didn't keep fighting, now he's hitting his mid 30's and he's probably past the point of no return in terms of his athletic lifespan. If he did the drop to 205 he would fare better, he's too small for HW.

Dmitry Sosnovskiy vs Artem Oleinik at OFS 4

idk wtf is going on with him. How can they not be able to throw him on an undercard?

Also Lavar Johnson is fighting in the main event at the eagle mountain casino June 26th but that's all the details i got no opponent or name of promotion. Feel free to do some snooping

Does anyone know much about Nicholas Roehrick?

It looks like he wrestled for Gardner-Webb University and has some BJJ training. He doesn't fight much, but last fought his second pro bout in Jan 2015.
