TAPOLOGY: JMMA THREAD (Frequently Updated!)

Gregory gave me the heads up to start a thread solely based on JMMA. So here it is. I'll mainly be focusing on everything JMMA oriented, so I'll continuously post cards, updates, results, info and more. Results will have their own separate threads. Enjoy your JMMA!

I think HelloJapan might be Stu3ufc, an old poster from Sherdog. I know newmexico1 and GoForkYourself are for sure - huge fans of JMMA but sadly I don't see them posting much now. I'll subscribe to their channels.

Damn that's a lot of fights haha.
A big influx of JMMA events will no doubt see a weekend in the not so distant future hit 400+ fights.

Yeah, most fights are 2 3 minute rounds.

All this JMMA looks delicious

Also last, but not least, Satoshi Ishii is fighting Kerry Schall at IGF "GENOME 25" on March 20 at the ***uoka Kokusai Center in ***uoka, Japan.

It's a pro-wrestling card, but that will be a MMA fight.

Wonder how long before we see Barnett on a IGF card . he trains with a lot of their recent fighters.

Edit : nm he was on Genome 23
