SUNDAY NEWS UPDATE
Bryan and I have our weekend show up on the site right now. We also have a very well received show with Debbie Malenko talking about the in-ring heyday of the All Japan women’s office and working with the likes of Aja Kong, Manami Toyota and Akira Hokuto.
Here is footage of the Akira Hokuto vs. Debbie Malenko match, heavily edited unfortunately, that is talked about on the show from January 4, 1993 at Korakuen Hall, hours before that year’s Tokyo Dome match. The injury that ended her career was during this early 1993 match with Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada vs. Malenko & Sakie Hasegawa.
Jon Fitch announced his retirement after his loss to Neiman Gracie last night at the Bellator show in Uncasville, CT.
On the main event decision with Michelle Waterson vs. Angela Hill last night, to show how close it was, media scores were 50% for Waterson and 50% for Hill. Judge Derek Clearly gave Hill the first two rounds and Waterson the last three. Judge Sal D’Amato gav Hill only the first round. Judge Chris Lee gave Hill rounds 1, 2 and 5,. I gave the last three to Waterson but rounds two and five were very close so anything from 49-46 Waterson to 48-47 Hill are viable scores, so the judging wasn’t bad even though in a close fight, people are guaranteed to blame the judges..
The finish of Wednesday’s Chris Jericho & Jake Hager vs. Sonny Kiss & Joey Janela match did 580,000+ viewers in 18-49 (translates to 0.45 in the demo) and nearly 1.2 million viewers.
The only thing in combat sports that trended on Google this week was Conor McGregor on Sunday with 200,000, which was No. 11. Nothing from pro wrestling made the list and last night’s UFC show did not crack the top 20 which would be a rare thing.
MMA reporter Dave Doyle noted that last night’s Bellator show, the last on Spike, ends 21 straight years of combat sports on the station that was TNN, The National Network, Spike and Paramount. It started with ECW on TNN, then WWE Raw for five years (2000-2005), UFC from 2005 to 2010, Impact (2004 to 2014), and finally Bellator (2012 to 2020).
UFC
Dana White said that the work of referee Chris Tognoni in the Mike Rodriguez vs. Ed Herman match was, “the worst I’ve ever seen. He’s f***ing Mazzagatti-level. Some Mazzagatti-level s*** right there. That was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.” Rodriguez had the fight won after knocking Herman down with a knee to the chest. Herman sold it as a low blow and Tognoni ruled it a low blow. Herman came back to win via Kimura submission in the third round. White also said the company is paying Rodriguez his win bonus, feeling he won the fight via TKO. White was also furious at the commission for not having Tognoni watch a replay when the match was stopped to give Herman time for a complete recovery. Most states say that you can only use a replay to look at the finish of a fight and since the fight wasn’t finished, that would seem to make it a forced finish but I do know people have interpreted the Nevada rule differently.
The movie “Bruised” which was Halle Berry’s directorial debut and stars Berry and Valentina Shevchenko as MMA fighters premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival this past weekend and Netflix offered nearly $20 million for the fights. The deal was confirmed between Endeavor, which owned the movie as well as UFC and Netflix.
Raulian Paiva is off the 10/31 show due to a torn ACL in his right knee, which will require surgery. He was to face Amir Albazi.
