Welcome to the most recent version of Missed Fists the place we shine a lightweight on fights from throughout the globe that will have been ignored in these hectic instances the place it looks like there’s an MMA present each different day.
No person needs to have their mind rattled or arm damaged or their ligaments torn in a combat, however I’ve to assume these outcomes could be preferable to actually having your head eliminated out of your shoulders.
(Huge thanks as all the time to @Barrelelapierna for his or her weekly lists of one of the best KOs and submissions, and to @Grabaka_Hitman for importing most of the clips you see right here. Give them a comply with and chip in on Patreon should you can.)
Mackenzie Stiller vs. Cristina BradorCheyanne Bowers vs. Maritza SanchezMitch McKee vs. Pedro Nobre
Bulldog chokes aren’t the best submission to complete, however as soon as they’re cinched in there are few holds which might be extra viscerally terrifying. At LFA 127, Mackenzie Stiller hit an ideal bulldog choke, which pressured a fast faucet from Cristina Brador.
Stiller has had plenty of memorable submissions already in her younger profession, however this vicious effort could be on the prime. I can’t think about any combat fan criticizing Brador for signaling her submission as quickly as doable. Stiller was going to take that head again as a trophy.
The ladies have been doing harm that evening as Cheyanne Bowers additionally continued her sizzling streak with a scientific rear-naked choke of Maritza Sanchez.
That’s seven wins in Bowers’ previous eight fights, together with her solely loss throughout that stretch coming through cut up determination to fellow UFC flyweight hopeful Shannon Clark.
In the principle occasion, bantamweight prospect Mitch McKee had a enjoyable brawl with veteran Pedro Nobre that ended with Nobre going evening evening.
You’ll be able to catch a replay of LFA 217 on UFC Battle Cross.
Kurban Zainukov vs. Muhammad Amirzoda
We had some severe spinning and profitable at a BetCity Battle Nights occasion in Nevinnomyssk, Russia, and I’m not speaking about on-line roulette. Kurban Zainukov loaded up and landed on the button, immediately flooring Muhammad Amirzoda.
Zainukov set that up superbly with winging left hand that Amirzoda bit on, probably anticipating a hook or a even spinning backfist as Zainukov continued to twist. However as an alternative, Zainukov lifted his leg excessive and caught Amirzoda dipping proper right into a kick. That can do it.
Moreno Kacapor vs. Abu Bakr BathilyMohamed Soumah vs. Alka Matewa
Over at Ares FC 34 in Paris, it was the fitting hand that was la frappe du jour, as Moreno Kacapor and Mohamed Soumah so splendidly demonstrated.
Kacapor caught Abu Bakr Bathily proper throughout the chin, then proceeded to simply fall on him and unleash ground-and-pound hell. Finally the referee wakened and stopped the combat, making Kacapor the brand new Ares FC heavyweight champion. He provides the belt to a set that features two different regional titles.
Soumah went full baseball pitcher with a windup and throw that landed squarely within the strike zone.
Based mostly on the outcomes, I’d say he hit about 92 on the radar gun.
Drew Arpin vs. Trevor Sullivan
Whereas we’re monitoring numbers, let’s get the stopwatch out for Drew Arpin, who rushed Trevor Sullivan in an newbie bout at Cage Warriors 73.
The official time of the stoppage: 9 seconds! And you possibly can actually shave one or two off as a result of Sullivan was out means earlier than he hit the mat.
Matthias Lohner vs. Ludwig WolperElvis Prince Grohmann vs. Tolga Atik
For the consideration of the Division of Swangin’ and Bangin’, right here’s Matthias Lohner.
Lohner let that left hand fly with no setup, which could not be fairly, however it labored. He adopted up by driving proper hand by way of Ludwig Wolper’s chin, leaving him limp on the canvas. That was apparently a 150-pound catchweight bout, however that’s a heavyweight KO if I’ve ever seen one
Severely, these German MMA Championship dudes have been punching one another so onerous.
Elvis Prince Grohmann cornered a floundering Tolga Atik and it wasn’t lengthy earlier than Atik crumbled to Grohmann’s livid fists. Like with Brador above, you received’t catch me judging Atik for tapping out to strikes, not when the punches are coming in with that a lot warmth.
David Dvorak vs. Mohammed WalidKhalid Taha vs. Edgar DelgadoHenrique Madureira vs. Nikolaos Serbezis
OKTAGON 76 goes down Saturday at midday ET in Frankfurt, Germany, and you may test it out on Oktagon.television for a bit over $15 USD. Nonetheless, should you missed this previous weekend’s motion in Hannover, don’t fear, they’ve acquired you coated there, too.
Former UFC fighters David Dvorak and Khalid Taha made robust circumstances that they’ve loads left to supply within the cage, with Dvorak bouncing Mohammed Walid’s head each which means with a slugging overhand, and Taha simply leaving all of it on the market in an try and make Edgar Delgado’s head one with the mat.
Middleweight journeyman Henrique Madureira could have stolen the present although as he utilized a pointy feint to arrange a thudding knockout proper.
You’ll be able to hear somebody within the viewers screaming, a sound that may absolutely hang-out everybody within the instant neighborhood for years to come back.
