Best in Texas 2020

We’ve had a rough year for MMA in 2020. There are so many fighters that missed out on their development this year and I’m pretty sure a lot of fighters had to quit MMA, because of the pandemic, but hopefully a lot of real fighters still have that spark and continue to train and get better. Some people say that you should never have a plan B. – 😅 I’m an advocate for plan Bs, and plan Cs and plan Qs, because you never know what life’s gonna throw at you, There is a vaccine now, and I’ve heard that its effective, so hopefully in 2021 we can all put this 2020 madness behind us. I dont know how the vaccine will work, but I’m hopeful. Just hopeful. read more

Women have a tough time in the fight game in general. They may need to travel to get fights, They may need to move up and down in weight classes, and sometimes life just gets in the way. A lot of good female fighters in Texas never really move on from the Amateur scene. Id really like to put Sam Hughes on this list. She’s fought in Texas a couple of times, but she really is from the PNW. She’d be number 1 or 2 on this list. Demopoulos fights out of California, but she’s had several fights in Texas read more

XKO 44

XKO 44: “All in” Round by round results

XKO 44

XKO 44 took place at Gas Monkey Live in Dallas, Texas, and they played on the gambling theme all night. “Vegas style” fights took place, and there were both Muay Thai and MMA fights on the card.

I missed some of the Amateur fights, but I caught a couple of good ones before they moved to the main card

Muay Thai

Tracey Thompson vs Turbo

Round 1

Both guys look tentative and both started with their hands down. Not very skillful from either guy, and I can picture both of them getting fucked up by a 15 year old in Lumpinee Stadium. The fight seems like a “Muay Thai fight for MMA” and I feel a little bit better watching it, once I figure out what it is. read more

What was unBROKEN in 2019?

Jan. 12 At XKO 44. The Hooters girls were unbroken – I’m not really a horn-dog per se, but for some reason those Hooters girls at the show did something for me. Also The rap music mixed with Tejano was unbroken. – It was more of rap music mashed up with Tejano, I’ve never heard that before, and I was impressed.

Jan 18. At LFA 57 Taylor Johnson was unbroken – The man ran through Aaron Chambers. I was also a little surprised that he was stopped by Jiu Jitsu ace Andre Muniz on the Contender Series. Sometimes they let too savages fight each other on that show read more
