Here's the vid of the weigh in, just bizarre, as if taking off the shorts would help :pac: That little guy with him is apparently his muay thai coach but you just don't know what to believe with Mayhem.

strange alright. What was with the attempted shocked look when they gave out his weight? Was he really trying to act surprised he was that far overweight? Fair play to Barnett, very professional to even do the face off and shake his hand after that.

Schiavolin was the MW who was supposed to be fighting Barnetts new opponent, he'll be down the chippy right now trying to make LHW

Absolute dummy but great to watch bar the holding, his ground game is phenomenal.

Leave him alone lads, he's a changed man! He said so at the last Polaris but then he didn't get in a position to do any damage. Saying that, i wouldn't send my enemy into the cage with him.

I can't tell if the last Polaris was a sign he changed, or just how great Tonon was at shutting him down.
This time he faces a guys playing fancy dress Vikings. He'll rip his leg off if he feels like it

He got the flu and pulled out of the card..... Or didn't want to miss Roddy's wedding haha

I think he's on in about 3 fights time. I found 3 different live results pages through google and they all show different order of fights .

Thanks sounds right dodgy to me. Never even got on twitter to say so and his recent posts there sound 'not normal' as Lance would say.

Zero-Cool

Wow, head down swing for the fences. He was my favourite fighter in Strikeforce and Dream. Slick jiujitsu and tough as nails

I turned it on earlier but David Haye was on talking and Id just watched him fight some donkey on another channel so had to turn him off

Lol! Bit weird how they get him in for MMA guess they need a face who is a fighter. The French lad looks proper legit he is small for bantamweight be impressive if he can hold both belts for a while now. Maybe we'll see him on a European UFC card in the not too distant.

Any fighter will do type of thing? I cant get my head around them having a boxer for MMA. If they wanted a face, but someone who at least knows a little, they could have went for Alex Reid. Fight fans will know him just aswell as Haye, but argubly general public may know him more than Haye just because he's a 'celebrity'

Insane speed. Timing on the elbow was superb.

I assume that's why they got him. Scary world when Alex Reid is as well known by the masses as David Haye! Maybe back in his Jordan days but Haye gets a lot of media in the UK so a lot of people know who he is especially with him being on Dave.

Yeh they can feed a couple of randoms to him and build up a bit of a story before throwing him to the wolves (or more accurately the mouse!).

Subcomandante Marcos

The reason Haye is always on the BAMMA shows is he's one of the owners of the promotion.

read about that headkick earlier but the video wasn't working. I really hate headkicks on the ground, gives me a sick feeling in the pit on my guts

Definitely not cool alright. Surprised a relatively large promotion like One allows it.

That 'soccer kick' just isn't right. It shouldn't be allowed.

Definitely doesn't show the sport in a good light either. It's one of those clips that the anti-mma crowd will have a field day with.

Wrongway1985

Kick like that ah, just no skill and bad form

Mellor

I hate soccer kicks. Simply because they are most likely to happen when the opponent is already out. Unlike a standing head kick.
I'd also expect they generate more force than a standing head kick due to better leverages, less inhibition in the opposing muscles etc

Ya I think a major thing is it takes away intelligently defending yourself out of the equation, defense mode not given a chance with a soccer kick

DrPhilG

I'm not a fan of soccer kicks either although funnily enough I'm in favour if allowing knees to a downed opponent.

Partly to avoid the nonsense of making a knee illegal but placing your hand on the ground but in general I think it's a more valid technique on the ground rather than just being a killer shot to an already unconscious opponent.
