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!

Satoshi Ishii defeated Kerry Schall by submission in 2:43 of round 1 with a kimura.

Damn I dont think I realized how old Ikemoto is and didnt know he was retiring. He's one of those guys thats way better than what his record says

Ok have to bookmark this but you ruined my excitement that had been built up while reading the thread by your last post grizzly. I HATE 3 minute rounds. Prefer JMMA judging. 

What I was referring to was THE OUTSIDER card. Their fights are 2 3 minute rounds.

All the other promotions are 2 or 3 5 minute rounds, depends on the importance of the fight.

THE OUTSIDER is 2 3 minute rounds because it's actually considered amateur MMA some of the fighters haven't even really done much MMA training and are gang members, street thugs, etc. who just like to fight and Akira Maeda decided them to let them fight in a ring and form a MMA promotion for them where they could fight freely without getting into trouble for it.

Oh good. Thx. 

Good to see Ishii keeping busy. With Mosnon in that M-1 tournament i'm not sure he'll get that fight anytime soon.

 Lots of finishes in OUTSIDER though, via if someone gets dropped they stop the fight.

They use a 10 count if you get dropped in THE OUTSIDER iirc, I haven't been able to watch the newer events as they're not available to us outside of Japan, so I don't know if they changed the rule set, don't think they have though.

You see any way for us to keep track of which fights will be 2x5 and which will be 3x5 before events? Other than those that are posted on the promoter sites. Shooto posts most of its major cards with round structures, as does Pancrase, but not DEEP, ZST or some of the others.

@grizzly You're right, I do remember being a count but I also remember fights just being stopped after someone gets dropped or sometimes for less.

@skeliher DEEP and Zst are almost always 2x5, unless it's a title fight or something.

@grizzly is the king of all things JMMA :)

There's been a slight change to the ZST 35 main event. Russian RINGS fighter Vitali Krat who was originally scheduled to fight Naoyuki Kotani in the main event suffered a concussion in training for the fight and the doctors have obligated him to pull out of the fight.

Kotani via leg scissor choke.

Two questions.

1) Rin Nakai - any more come out about some dodgyness with her last fight against West? Last minute rule changes at best and match fixing at worst.

2) ZST - if/when they put on some tag team fights, can we pick em? :)

@Ronwah, last I heard is that West was informed that the fight wouldve been ruled a draw or no contest if she won

Yeah, that's the last I heard/read too @live. 1Kg heavy come the weigh in being the justification for that. 

Yo Grizz! Keep an eye out for me to pop up on a Pancrase card in the near future!
 and Greg, yes, JMMA is really delicious, especially the Jewels cards! Those girls are BAMF!
