I remember when I used to want to watch Fury FC and I couldn’t, lol I remember watching Fury FC online, and I was watching fights that were streamed by Mike “The Truth” Jackson. Now Fury is on FightPass, The camera work is a little slow, but the production is a lot better and the talent is still very rich

Main Event

Very technical round with Simpson using some good footwork

Round 2

Technical, until Simpson scores a highkick and drops Echeverry, and then follows up with some ground and pound. 🚩Simpson wins by TKO read more

MMA is back to full capacity in Texas, Fury FC 44 took place at the Bayou City Event center in Houston, TX and this was the first event for Fury on UFC FightPass. I’m so glad that its on FightPass because paying for some of the Fury events can be rough… I mean the fights are good, but some of the production can be absolutely horrible. With the FightPass deal, the production is significantly beefed up

This show had Prelims and Postlims, in between those, the main event showcased CJ Vergara vs Jacob Silva for the Fury FC Flyweight title. These two top level flyweight had a war, and CJ Vergara captured the Fury FC Flyweight title, by TKO in the 3rd round, in one of the best fights I’ve seen across any promotion, this year, so far. Check out my Best in Texas post read more

MMA in Texas is back! At 50% capacity, but that’s better than no capacity. I tuned in to Fury 43 broadcasting from Humble, TX. We got to hear the crowds scream at an event for the first time in a long time. And I think the UFC should think about coming to Texas. 50% ain’t too shabby. The fights… I didn’t think the pro fights were very good. The amateur fights showcased some upcoming talent. Anyway in the main event featured Nico Echeverry beating Edmilson Freitas for the Fury FC Lightweight title read more

I’ve been kinda keeping up with the Fury promotion. They have great talent down there in Houston. The atmosphere is good, but the judging is soooooo bad. You guys saw it at UFC 247. It can get down right horrible at times, and I really think there is legit corruption there. I cant prove it, but the scores just dont make any sense.

Main Event

Christian Lira vs Jacob Silva – Featherweight – Fury FC title

Round 1

Silva bounces well, throws some good single strikes. He backs up and rocks Lira with a flying knee and is able to get him down and beat him up. 🚩Silva wins by TKO read more

My Picks are so bad. They are horrible this week. I know some people check this site just for the picks. But damn, I feel like I let some of you guys down. I was also requested to expound on some of my reasoning for the outcomes of the fights. I’ll do what I can

Jon Jones def. Dominick Reyes

Controversy. I’ll start by saying this; I was very impressed with Reyes’ cardio. He sort of has a point about that whole “athlete” schtick that he’s pushing. He had enough in the tank at the end to fend off the take down and look decent. I thought he won that fight. I thought Reyes won 1 & 2 and Jones won 4 & 5. Round 3 was tight, and I personally think that Reyes edged it. The fight could’ve also been a draw with a rare 10-10 round for round 3. I really really need to watch the Thiago Santos fight again. Anyway, Jones had to answer the question if he’s still evolving. As of right now, I say “No”. I dont think he’s evolved since the Thiago Santos fight. I didn’t see any new tools in the toolbox, I didn’t see any sublime skill that he’s known for. I also didn’t like his interviews leading up to the fight – They just didn’t seem honest. What do I think Jon Jones should do? He should Go to Thailand and work on a clinch game – seriously. He needs to just keep evolving. Reyes deserves a rematch. read more

So LFA 81 took place in Costa Mesa, California. There were some good fighters there. King of the Cage always lends some good talent to LFA when they come into town.

LFA 79 Round by Round Results

Richard

So, I’ve been thinking if I should do the round by round results for the LFA since, its so widely available now. I’m not sure if I should just do commentary on fights, or just keep on doing what I’m doing. I missed a couple of LFA events. I’ll try to get back to them. But this LFA was LFA 79 Royval vs Williams. Royval has had a couple guys pull out of fights, he’s had the TV deal cancellation, he’s had injuries and various amounts of bad luck that was stopping him from getting to the title, but all that stopped today. read more

OK, So fury FC 39 kicked off in Houston at the Bayou Event Center. The promotion has been putting on a lot of fights, they’ve been traveling, and they’ve been attracting a lot of talent. They will be in the DFW area soon, and I hope to go to the show, but there is sooooo much MMA in DFW at the moment. Anyway. Great fights. The “amateurs” on this card do work.

Main Event

Leomana Martinez vs David Rivera – Bantamweight

Round 1

Rivera shoots in and Martinez jumps guillotine. Martinez eventually kicks his opponent off and gets up. Martinez drops Rivera twice and puts an unholy beatdown on him until the round ends. The fight really could’ve been stopped here. read more

Fury 38 was at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio. The Fury Promotion is heavily active in South Texas. There were some fun fights. CJ Vergara was fighting for an interim 125 belt, he didn’t make weight, so its kinda like the scrapped the whole belt situation, and said, “Who ever wins will fight the champ” – Good stuff
