Welcome to the latest version of Missing Fists. Here we shed light on battles from all over the world. These busy times may have been overlooked.
Last week I had the bad luck of witnessing my arm with a horrific ripped arm in an amateur match in South Africa. Like a curse of smilethe demon destroying this limb appears unsatisfied as a similar incident occurred in the conquest of Cage Show in Spokane, Washington, just seven days later.
And once again in an amateur fight!

Robbie Vaughn vs Mbinanese
This is the worst deja vu I’ve ever experienced.
Unless you want to lose lunch, your headphones are far below.
You are being warned.
move on.
The disgusting tip of the cap is disgusting to the ever-posting Queen Christen King of MMA’s disfigurement.
So Robbie Vaughn hit a nice body rock slam and then worked for side control immediately, struggling underneath. Vaughn saw the opening of Keylock and it looked like Mboneran had lost his rights. It is unclear whether Mbonerane could not express his submission (he was entangled with something intense), or whether he escalated faster than expected, but the end result was the same.
snap. Or is it more pop? Either way…Barf.
I hope for a proper recovery for Mbonerane, who was smiling at his recent Instagram Stories.

We apologize for sharing that clip with you, but you know that it’s not sincere. We’re going to have this together now. Anyway, make it for you with a sweet knockout.
Mavlonbek Kosimov Vs. Shodimurod Karaev
At Amir Temur Fighting Championship 22 (free replay on YouTube), Mavlonbek Kosimov provided us with the best spinning finish of the week with this gorgeous kick-up side Shodimurod Karaev head.
He put a serious snap on it… ah, he surprised it and had no intention of raising the snap again.
Chef Pramenpen Vs. Sofian Boafia
Deyan Galinov vs. Abdou
Deyan Galinov vs. Abdou
Thanks to Brave CF, Missing Fists has been looking at Burgas, Bulgaria for the first time, with Plamen Penchev making his memorable promotional debut in his home country with this faced plant KO.
Penchev fired completely blindly, but there is no question about his effectiveness. You did a good thing when you opened your eyes and saw them closed.
This is the sixth straight win for Penchev, a 33-year-old middleweight record of 11-1. If this performance is any indication, who can do great damage in a brave cage.
Penchev’s compatriot Deyan Galinov also made his debut, and was very impressive.
Garinoff caught Abdou Sowe on the left of the loop, leading to Punch and Sowe remaining as stiff as a canvas board.
Stephen Stirewalt vs. Thomas Prestredge
Yes, it’s Stephen Starwald, aka Da Pork Powdasa.
It’s certainly a great KO, but that’s a nickname that pops up at you right away.
quality. The posts had more nicknames than the KO itself.

Stirewalt is 6-6 for the 31-year-old Bantamweight, with a 6-6 record, so he assumes he’s not on the UFC’s radar, but he pays $300 and hears Bruce Buffer’s “Da Pork Pounda” screaming “Da Pork Pounda” in the sold-out T-Mobile arena.
Wuzen vs. Chen Lui
At Jue Cheng King Fight Night 101 (free replay on YouTube) in Shanghai, China, Wu Zen provided the perfect example of how to change the speed of your opponent.
For a second he was flicking his harmless inner leg kick, and the next moment he was firing a full force piston into Chen Lui’s jaw. When you play almost 50 professional matches under the belt at age 30, that’s how you do it.
Lucas Gouveia vs. Luiz Felipe Herculano
Marcio Cabral vs. Mailton Azevedo
Marcos Degli Vs. Matheus Severino
Marcio Cabral vs. Mailton Azevedo
Marcos Degli Vs. Matheus Severino
Again, paying attention to the cage is always a good thing. Luiz Felipe Herculano learned this the hard way at LFA 212 in Brasilia, Brazil (also available in Fight Pass).
Herkurano was dropped, but that didn’t stop him from desperately pursuing Lucas Gouveia. It was Gouveia who kept his calm head, and he was rewarded for it when he caught Herculano with another precise punch.
Before the show, Marci Cabral scored a 42-second KO with a slightly coincidence-looking head kick.
You are a judge.
Marcio Cabral knocks out Mailton Azevedo with a sneaky knee on his chin in just 42 seconds. The commentary claimed it was on the body, but no, it was the jaw. Azevedo dived straight away. #LFA212 pic.twitter.com/zf5a4pzroc

At first glance, it looked like a kick to the body that Mayton Azevedo only appeared at the wrong time. But he covered his head in the exact same way he responded to Kabraljab, so perhaps it was a set up all along? Either way, it’s a great finish.

In the main event, Flyweights Marcos Degli and Matheus Severino were aiming to release UFC-worthy statements in the title fight. Eventually, Deguri landed a beautiful right hand and placed Matthews Severino to defend the championship.
The UFC Call will be coming soon.
