He's just so fucking cool.

Noiri serving up hooks and uppercuts.

Noiri terrorizing Kato against the ropes.

Starting round 2 off with a series of Yoza kicks.

Noiri dropping Kona Kato with the 2-1.

I gotta buy that and Manhunter. Get me a William Peterson double feature.

My favorite part of Dick Tracy is just Al Pacino being a weirdo.

Noiri hits Ryo Murakoshi with an uppercut knee in their amateur fight. After watching Sylvie's video with Chamuekpet explaining his vertical knees, it's really cool to see Noiri using something very similar from his Kyokushin arsenal.

Making a lot of effort for a fight that's just going to end in an eye poke.

Junto Nakatani’s perfect body punch knockout.

Boonlai gets warned for kneeing Chamuekpet in the dick.

A fun exchange between Chamuepket and Boonlai that ends with Chamuekpet going for a spinning back elbow.

I looked through the cast, guys. Jose Aldo isn't in it, nor anyone playing him. We will not be getting a Jair Bolsonaro takes refuge in a UFC fighter's Minions themed room scene in the movie.

After exchanging simultaneous knees Chamuekpet recovers faster than Chaidet and lands a left straight that ends the fight. Chaidet gets up but the ref see he isn't all there and calls the fight. Chamuekpet wins the Rajadamnern Stadium Featherweight belt, making it his 9th stadium belt.

Chaidet, showing true Nak Muay behavior, tries to murder Champuekpet.

After getting back into the ring Chamuekpet tries to capitalize on Chaidet's leg getting caught on the rope. He misses with the straight and catches a hook to the face that stuns him for his troubles. Chaidet does his level best to finish the fight as the bell rings.

Chaidet decided he's had enough of Chamuekpet and throws him out of the ring.

Her instincts in the pocket are not good. She just let Choi land real 3 bad punches on her before remembering she should clinch or push her off. In the 3rd round Choi and her break the clinch and Kimura just turns around and bends over until the ref calls for a stop in the action.

Her 1-2 is fast, but she telegraphs it by jumping in to throw it all the time. Her amateur boxing debut against a much more experienced opponent just check hooked her all the time for it. Choi didn't try to fight for the outside foot position so Kimura had the left straight practically given to her.

K-1 uploaded the Kimura vs. Eun Ji Choi fight in full. She's not that good. I'm sorry. Standing chamber side kicks are cool and her lead leg dexterity is really good. She just needs more of a game than that and her not as amazing as promised boxing.

Learning the Vertical Knee from the Legend Chamuakpet Hapalang (MTL trailer, 1 hr 25 mins) YouTube video by Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu - Muay Thai

A fun little teaser of Sylvie and my favorite Nak Muay of all time, Chamuakpet Hapalang. Talking about his vertical stepping knee, how to throw it and why he likes it over the normal stepping knee.

RIZIN still does better fighter walkouts, highlight videos and event posters while not being a BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY! UFC just wants to cut as much cost so shareholders and management can maximize their take of the profits.

We can still put out just as unimaginative and boring videos and event posters like we've always done. We just don't have to pay anyone to do it!

I have successfully called in. Yay for me!

No, we're not named after the ultimate evil from Lord of the Rings. We're named after the life force stealing Pterodactyl man from the Marvel comics. What do you mean that's not much better?

www.rolfolsenastrophotography.com/Astrophotography/Nebula... Been working on this for a while. Have to say it was probably one of the more challenging datasets I have processed due to the delicate combination of LRGB and narrowband data required to tease out the colours and fine structures in the nebula as well as the deep background detail. About the image: This deep view of the Helix Nebula combines light from traditional LRGB filters together with specific narrow Ha and OIII wavelengths to reveal the colourful and complex structures of this magnificent planetary nebula. The Helix Nebula is located around 700 light years away towards the constellation Aquarius. It is one of the nearest planetary nebulae and therefore appears quite large and detailed although its surface brightness is rather low. The nebula is the result of a sun-like star shedding its outer layers during its final stages of evolution. Several rapidly expanding shells of dust and gas surrounds the intensely blue stellar remnant in the centre, giving the appearance of a giant eye in space. The inner and outer shells were expelled from the star approximately 6,500 and 12,000 years ago respectively and are expanding at a speed of 32-40 kilometres per second. The brightest ring is currently two light years across, while the faint outer structures extend to a diameter of four light years - the same distance as between the Sun and the nearest other star; Alpha Centauri. Powerful ultraviolet radiation from...

Trying to decide if I call into work now to tell them I'm not coming in or try and fall back asleep.

I haven't seen it, but I remember seeing this trailer for an erotic thriller called SHADOWS OF THE STORM where it was Ned Beatty getting caught up in murder with Mia Sara, and thinking yeah, we haven't seen enough doughy guys headlining in this genre.

I didn't catch much Glory as I should have, so I never caught that. Just "THE BIG KABOSH!" and "Here with me is Mike Kogan!"

I think I hate Mauro a little bit more. Mostly for all his time in PRIDE pronouncing "suplex" the French way and saying how pro wrestling bastardized the word. That and saying he'd wanted to touch Gina Carano with his dick on broadcast. I can't remember if he apologized for that call or not.
