The Palgrave Handbook of Contemporary Gothic, edited by Clive Bloom, Palgrave Macmillan, 2020. Cover image by Angela Waye / Alamy Stock Photo, info: palgrave.com.

The Palgrave Handbook of Contemporary Gothic is the most comprehensive compendium of analytic essays on the modern Gothic now available, covering the vast and highly significant period from 1918 to 2019. The Gothic sensibility, over 200 years old, embraces its dark past whilst anticipating the future. From demons and monsters to post- apocalyptic fears and ecological fantasies, Gothic is thriving as never before in the arts and in popular culture. This volume is made up of 62 comprehensive chapters with notes and extended bibliographies contributed by scholars from around the world. The chapters are written not only for those engaged in academic research but also to be accessible to students and dedicated followers of the genre. Each chapter is packed with analysis of the Gothic in both theory and practice, as the genre has mutated and spread over the last hundred years. Starting in 1918 with the impact of film on the genre's development, and moving through its many and varied international incarnations, each chapter chronicles the history of the gothic milieu from the movies to gaming platforms and internet memes, television and theatre. The volume also looks at how Gothic intersects with fashion, music and popular culture: a multi-layered, multi-ethnic, even a trans-gendered experience as we move into the twenty first century.

July 3rd time killing: What sort of UFC veteran fights can we expect for DWTCS?

Joey

July 3rd

So by now word has reached MOST fine folks about the UFC's Tuesday night show; Tuesday Night Contenders. Thus far it's...a thing. It seems like a modest attempt to at the very least take a swing at developing and churning the bottom of the roster over somewhat. Five fights every Tuesday with prospects and proven regional veterans trying to crawl their way into the UFC. We've got commentary confirmed (one will be legit, the other one is going to be a Bananarama tape with no case with Snoop and Urijah Faber goofing around). As of now some REALLY great fights are being put on (Manny Vasquez vs Joby Sanchez, Matt Bessette vs Kurt Holobaugh to name a few) and even if it's JUST five fights on a Tuesday, it's something for the people who subscribe to Fight Pass to get excited about during the week.

NOW having said that, Dana White and the UFC have both hinted that guys on the cusp of getting cut COULD in theory get the opportunity to maybe earn themselves a longer leash in the org through fights. Whether that's veteran vs veteran or veteran vs prospect outside of the UFC remains to be seen. It looked like they would be doing away with that BUT Dana mentioned it recently and so I'm assuming it's still in the works. In any event, I want to just try and conjure up 15 fights that would absolutely fit the Tuesday Night Contenders format for current UFC veterans who could use the opportunity to get some fights. Plus JUST for fun, I've thrown in some non UFC guy fights that would make sense too. Everybody loves bonus MMA. In trying to keep with the spirit of the show thus far, I didn't go too far in terms of regional overseas guys. Just a lot of local fighters OR fighters who fight out primarily in the states.

1- MW Oluwale Bamgbose vs Eryk Anders

A genuinely enjoyable wacky ball of energy, Bamgbose has had a really tough go of it recently in the UFC. He debuted on short notice vs Uriah Hall and lost in the first round. He took another short notice fight and KO'd Daniel Sarafian before racking up two straight losses vs Brazilian fighters Cezar Mutante and Paulo Borrachinha. He's too fun to not be in the UFC BUT it'd be totally reasonable if the decision was made to pull the plug on him. How about giving him a chance vs Eryk Anders? Anders is a Bama linebacker turned MMA fighter who is raw but uber talented and has just captured LFA's middleweight championship. At the very least, this could be the kind of fight that promises to be JUST wacky enough to be worth watching on a Tuesday night.

2- LW Ross Pearson vs Freddy Assuncao

Ross Pearson is an awesome fighter, one of those guys that it's not too hard to get behind. He's been at this a good long time and the recent results are less than ideal, I think we could all agree. Still if Pearson wants one more crack at it (and you don't want to see him slumming it up on Bellator undercards), then a fight on Tuesday Night Contenders might make sense. Freddy Assuncao is one of those guys people have expected to join the UFC for quite some time but injuries and inactivity have hurt him. He's a good fit for this kind of show as a Titan FC champ.

3- LW Marcin Held vs Takanori Gomi

So obviously financially this makes zero fucking sense. That said, if you ignore the amount of money burnt putting this one together, I think this fight could be all kinds of amusing. Gomi is on what feels like an eight fight losing streak while Held has lost every UFC fight he's had so far; decision to Diego Sanchez, decision to Joe Lauzon and KO vs Damir Hadzovic. He could in theory be 2-1 since he was dominating Hadzovic and IMO beat Joe Lauzon. This fight could at the very least be an awesome little deal for FP subscribers.

4- MW Alex Nicholson vs Chris Camozzi

Nicholson's claim to fame INSIDE the cage (!) is a kind of questionable win over Devin Clark at 205 lbs. Clark's a fine win but outside of that, Nicholson has been finished twice and beat by Sam Alvey. Now I thought he beat Sam Alvey but still. Sporting a nifty 1-3 record, Nicholson might be on his way out. A fair "loser gets axed" fight would be a guy like Chris Camozzi! Camozzi is coming off three straight decision losses and you get the feeling that the bloom is off the comeback rose. This is the sort of fight that's buried as likee the third Fight Pass prelim on the show or whatever so hey! Might as well give em a little shine.

5- WW Jake Ellenberger vs James Nakashima

The Matt Brown KO gave Ellenberger a chance to jolt some life into his somewhat shaky caeer. It was a short lived glimmer of hope ultimately as Ellenberger has lost two straight. He showed some improved striking vs Mike Perry BUT alas alack! It was not meant to be. James Nakashima is an MMA Lab prodigy getting a slow burn through the regional circuit who might be due for a shot soon.

6- WW James Moontasri vs Erick Montano

Moontasri is a fun fighter who just seems to be consistently struggling to find any sort of weight in the UFC. Even having said that, his losses are to some damn good fighters like Alex Oliveira and Kevin Lee. Erick Montano is one of the TUF LAM winners who should, in theory be given extra rope to see if they can cut it. As such rather than just cut your losses and rather than abandon any hope in Mexico, why not do Moontasri vs Erick Montano?

7- WW Jim Wallhead vs Rodrigo Vargas

Jim Wallhead is a longtime veteran who finally got his UFC opportunity and unfortunately ha scome up short twice. Wallhead is capable, competent and probably on the fringe of being UFC quality. As such, how about he faces a guy like Rodrigo Vargas? Vargas has been fighting primarily out in Combate Americas

8- WW Hayder Hassan vs Derrick Krantz

The UFC has been trying to make Hayder Hassan a thing for a while now and it totally makes sense. Hassan was the MVP of the season where the Blackzillians and ATT feuded, complete with him taking three fights in like a months time. Hassan was even invited back for the redemption season where he lost AND THEN got another chance to take a fight. He's just a fun fighter they seem sensitive to---and so giving him a decent regional vet like Derrick Krantz I GUESS makes a lot of sense. Maybe Krantz can have a Gerald Meeaschaert type run.

9- LW Andrew Holbrook vs Hakeem Dawodu

Holbrook has already proven himself to be capable of an upset when he knocked off Jake Matthews in Australia. Holbrook tends to get wiped out violently in his fights and while I'd just, ya know, SIGN Hakeem Dawodu, if I HAD to get cray cray, giving him Holbrook is a perfect test for his skills. Then again I mean I'd just sign the fucking guy.

10- LW Reza Madadi vs Alexander Jacobsen

The Mad Dog has taken some fights on short notice and taken some flat out undesirable fights recently. At 1-3 since his UFC return, Reza might be on his last licks. Alexander Jacobsen is the sort of dude Madadi would be fighting if relegated to the regional circuit; a hyped up European who has competed primarily in Cage Warriors and boasts an 8-1 record.

11- BW Justin Scoggins vs Mark De La Rosa

The mova back down to 125 lbs was a bust for Scoggins as he slipped up and had a booboo at the worst time possible vs Ulka Sasaki. Rather than let a very talented yet flawed fighter go, give him one more chance vs an undefeated Mexican prospect. De La Rosa is best known as the dude who Mark Schiavello tried to shame for turning down a fight over concerns that his opponent wasn't going to make weight, opting to simply stay in his hotel room. He's parlayed THAT into a decent run at Combate Americas. It'd be a good test for both guys.

12- BW Kwan Ho Kwak vs John Castaneda  

Keeping up with the theme of Singapore card failures vs Combate guys, let's pit Kwan Ho Kwak vs Combate Americas champ John Castaneda. Kwak is 0-2 in the UFC but has been apart of two enjoyable fights while Castaneda has been one of the real rising stars of Combate Americas since its inception.

13- LHW Josh Stansbury vs Anton Berzin

ALL the TUF 19 guys! Berzin sports an undefeated record and holds gold in CFFC, the same org that gave us the likes of Lyman Good, Jimmie Rivera and Nick Gordon. Not to mention Paul Felder and some of the other DWTCS guys. Josh Stansbury is on his 9th UFC life so you might as well see what happens if you give him one more chance vs an undefeated guy.

14- MW Uriah Hall vs Brett Cooper

While it started on a bit of a rough patch, I'm not even sure Baloo could get Hall's career out of this current talespin it's in. He's also been fighting inarguably some of the world's toughest competition with Mousasi twice, Robert Whittaker and Derek Brunson all thrown into the mix. On the other hand, Brett Cooper has been a busy dude overseas since Bellator basically got rid of him. It's a fine fight and a decent potential bounceback challenge for Hall. Worst case scenario Cooper guarantees you a few tough fights.

15- HW Anthony Hamilton vs Karl Roberson

Anthony Hamilton's "win one then lose one" streak finally came to an end as he's racked up two losses in a row; both by early finish. He's a pretty reliable HW in terms of getting to fight night and he's clearly capable of beating some guys so hey! One more shot seems fair. How about lanky CFFC LHW Karl Roberson?

TUF Redemption: Can anybody actually get redeemed here?

Joey

Feb 27th

Let's be fair and not  mine words; the TUF Redemption season is just a show. Its goal, in so many words, is to just provide some content for Fox to fill out a bit more of the FS1 schedule and add give TUF one more go. It's no longer first viewing content but a schedule is a schedule. Even the pseudo journeyman aspect of it is a departure from chasing prospects and finding new names. Nobody from this show is going to turn into a star in all likelihood and chances are even less likely that the fighter who "wins" does anything but occupy a roster spot. But can they stick? Can ANY of these sixteen guys stick around? Let's play a little guessing game and from the sixteen fighters presented, try to find who is most likely to make a home in the UFC once this is all done. NOT win the show, I'm not arguing that, just which fighter could stick around beyond the requisite 2-3 fights.

14- Tom Gallicchio TUF 22 Opening round elimination vs Marcin Wrzosek 19-9 record no UFC record 0-1 record since TUF

Soooooo I am admittedly confused as to why Tom Gallicchio got the call here. Maybe there was a lack of TUF guys for the gig (I find that a bit tough to comprehend) but he's here nonetheless. I could think of about 5 lightweights/welters I would've preferred over him (James Jenkins, David Michaud, Igor Arujao Jon Manley) but whatevs. I'm not sure what Gallicchio memorable either. He's a little bit on the smaller side and I don't see anything remarkable about him.

13- Jesse Taylor TUF 7 Finalist* 30-15 record 0-1 UFC record 24-13 since TUF

*Got removed from the spot because he's an asshat.

Jesse Taylor has a style that could totally lend itself to him winning this entire show. A bigger bodied guy who is almost certainly a middleweight (are they even fighting at a weight class here) is now being given the opportunity to fight dudes who fought as low as 145 lbs. That and if the TUF format speaks to the path of least resistance being the guy who wins then the grapple happy Taylor's got a chance. Reality though suggests that Taylor is done as even a mid level guy. Since the start of 2015, Taylor has racked up a 3-4 record and has been finished in all of those fights. He's been mostly getting thrashed by guys in Russian organizations after getting the axe from WSOF after making their MW title finale. Taylor, if he won, would probably fizzle out pretty quickly.

12- Hector Urbina TUF 19 First round elimination 17-10 MMA record 1-2 UFC record 1-2 since TUF

I like Urbina a lot. It wouldn't be wrong to suggest that Hector Urbina, at 29 years old, has a lot to still offer MMA. The problem is that Urbina's run in the UFC was really just a buoyed attempt at breaking through in Mexico.  That's fine and all---but chances are Urbina wasn't UFC quality to begin with unfortunately. Last time out, Vicente Luque smoked him in a round which isn't a deathknell (Luque will be a title contender soon enough) but it was proof that Urbina lacks a real home. He's too slow for 170 lbs and not strong enough for 185 lbs.

11- Justin Edwards TUF 13 Opening round elimination 9-5 MMA record 2-5 UFC record 3-5 since TUF

Once upon a time, a Justin Edwards type would have a place in the UFC. Back in the days of Sam Stout, Yves Edwards, Piotr Hallmann and so many others holding spots at the LW junkfest table, a Justin Edwards would've fit right in as a not too good, not too bad sloppy lightweight. Unfortunately for him, times have changed and the landscape at 155 lbs is loaded up. The lightweight division is now the best in MMA (IMO) and so Edwards has no place. As a welterweight? I mean he wasn't good there either. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that Edwards probably will only stick around beyond a fight or two if he does what he normally does; has an exciting fight where he loses or gets finished in a crazy fashion.

10- Seth Baczynski TUF 11 Quarterfinals elimination 19-14 MMA record 5-6 UFC record 7-7 since TUF

Seth Baczynski deserves a lot of credit, far more than he deserves, for his success as a UFC fighter. He was apart of a flunky heavy sort of TUF class but he went on to rack up some pretty damn good success even AFTER losing to Brad Tavares and getting released the first time. Baczynski's not a bad fighter, just a guy who is somewhat limited and couldn't hide those limitations forever. It's even worth pointing out that at one point he won four straight fights in the UFC and he holds wins over Matt Brown and Neil Magny. Unfortunately this is a guy who has lost six of his last seven fights and three of those were by stoppage. He's old, the chin isn't what it used to be and he wasn't a great athlete to begin with. Seth might be done on the top level.

9- Julian Lane TUF 16 Opening round elimination 11-7-1 MMA record 0-0 UFC record 7-7-1 since TUF

I don't know why I don't have Lane higher up on this list. I guess I'm just perplexed about what he is. Of all the fighters involved, he's the natural WW who has been super active since not making the cut. He had a really impressive (at one point) four fight winning streak before the bottom fell out. He'll make for some silly fun at least during the garbage TV portions of the show.

8- Gilbert Smith TUF 17 Opening round elimination 12-6 MMA record 0-1 UFC record 7-4 since TUF

Ah Gilbert Smith. Back to the days of TUF 17 where we thought the show would produce a new crop of 185 lb talent. Tor Troeng, Josh Samman, Kelvin Gastelum, Bubba McDaniel and Uriah Hall were going to fix the ragged 185 lb division! So the TUF middleweight season only produced one truly great fighter in Gastelum but that's neither here nor there. Gilbert Smith has had a decent enough go of it outside of the UFC including wins over some solid fighters like Bojan Velikovic and Bristol Marunde. He rebuilt his stock in RFA to the point where Bellator came calling. Smith went 0-2 in Bellator, losing both fights by decision, and now he's back on TUF. Smith is a powerful dude who has improved to the point where he offers something up just about everywhere he goes. He just lacks an elite skill, isn't much of a fight finisher vs reputable competition and showed serious signs of slowing down athletically and cardio wise in recent fights. It's worth noting he's 35 years old so the time is running out on him.

7- Ramsey Nijem TUF 13 Finalist 9-6 MMA record 5-5 UFC record 5-5 Post TUF

It could be argued, by which I  would not disagree,  that Ramsey Nijem is good enough to be in the UFC right now. Nijem's one of the few guys to beat Beneil Dariush in the UFC and his wins tend to either be very exciting or finishes. The same could be said for his losses as well; with Nijem being finished in four of his five losses. Ramsey's well rounded, he's got power in his hands and he's a squirrely active fighter on the feet and on the ground. The problem ultimately is that his chin has never been good and he's fought some brutal competition (Carlos Diego Ferreira, Tony Ferguson, Beneil Dariush, Myles Jury, Justin Edwards, James Vick and so on so forth). What's more, Ramsey Nijem was openly vocal about how much he disliked the UFC after his release, bemoaning their pay structure and their contracts. So now he's back? This feels like a fuckjob upcoming and so IF Ramsey wins the show, chances are he won't be hanging around for too long.

6- Dhiego Lima TUF 19 Finalist 12-5 MMA record 1-3 UFC record 3-4 Post TUF

So Diego Lima is an interesting guy and one of tthe fighters who, in theory, could surely stick around if he gets the right kind of matchup. Lima's problem is that he's not his brother so the expectations were always sort of wonky. He's a decent all around fighter who can challenge you from a variety of ways. He's just not very dynamic and his chin is questionable. Since losing in the TUF finale to Eddie Gordon, he had a so-so  run in the UFC (two stoppage loses and a win over a guy no longer employed) but seemed to find his groove on the regional circuit with two wins including an impressive five round decision win over David Michaud in Titan FC. He followed that up with a controversial stoppage loss to Jason Jackson (BTW where is HE on this thing?!) where his chin once again reared its head. If you protect him, he could find a place as mid level filler.

5- Joe Stevenson TUF 2 Winner of the season 33-16 MMA Record 8-8 UFC record 10-9 Post TUF

I wish I could rate Joe Stevenson higher. Stevenson is a huge part of my MMA conscious and he was a key figure for me as I got into the sport. It's crazy to think a TUF winner who fought for an interim title and has six bonus wins under his belt is now scrapping to try and save his career. Watching Stevenson's fight(s) on youtube, you can sense that the guy who once fought BJ Penn is essentially gone. Now most fighters don't age gracefully but Joe looked surprisingly slow and incapable of pulling the trigger. Maybe that's just rust. Ultimately Joe is a guy who fought as low as 145 and will be fighting guys who could probably crack at 185 lbs if not higher.  I want this to end well---but chances are it won't.

4- Mehdi Baghdad TUF 22 Opening Round Eliminated 10-5 MMA Record 0-2 UFC Record 0-2 Post TUF

Mehdi Baghdad shouldnt have been released. While he's not the first fighter to get cut after pulling out via an injury, it doesn't sound like Mehdi had any sort of malice behind him. It wasn't like a certain HW claiming injury to go film a movie for instance but he was still nixed none the less.  It didn't help that he had pulled outof a few fights previoussly. Mehdi's last fight was a split decision loss to John Makdessi in a fight most people thought he won, outstriking the Canadian. Baghdad's biggest weakness is that he's hittable on a show filled with power punchers and he's undersized. Otherwise I'd pick him to beat almost any 155er here on the show. Worst case scenario, he find a spot as a niche fighter at LW.

3- Hayder Hassan TUF 21 Finalist 6-3 MMA record 0-2 UFC record 0-2 post TUF

Hayder Hassan was on the Blackzilians vs ATT season of TUF and he was one of the few standouts. ATT rode him like Sea biscuit, having him five three times on the show. He went 0-2 on the show but he lost to two awesome fighters in Vicente Luque and Kamaru Usman who are  beating everybody. No shame there.  Hassan is a powerful guy who hits hard, has pretty great cardio and if you can overlook a few key flaws (he's hittable and his ground game is sort of kind of mediocre), there's no reason he can't be an all action addition to the UFC at welterweight. Like a poor man's Tim Means.

2- Ed Gordon TUF 19 Winner 8-4 MMA record 1-3 UFC 2-3 post TUF

So if this was a middleweight redemption deal I'd pick Gordon over anybody. He hits hard, he can wrestle, his weaknesses (mediocre grappling, eh cardio) are less likely to be exposed in a tournament format. The problem I have with Gordon, who was probably good enough to not be cut in the first place, is deciding to try a cut to 170 lbs on a reality show. That's sort of what hamstrung Sam Alvey's chances on TUF and turned him into a late notice UFC replacement down the line. It's a pretty miserable idea to be honest. Gordon is really good enough to carve out a niche in the UFC; the problem is that niche isn't too high up.

1- James Krause TUF 15 Eliminated/Didn't Qualify for the House 23-7 MMA record 4-3 UFC record 8-3 Post TUF

I mean.....he's basically the Mac Danzig of this season. He's a ringer designed to ensure that either a) a name is created by beating him or b) a competent fighter wins the whole show.
