MMA Mania hosts Saturday open thread on guilty-pleasure films
MMA Mania launched its Saturday open thread with a question for fight fans: what terrible movies do you secretly love?
The site's Tim Edwards opened the July 25 discussion by citing two of his own picks — "The Family Man" and "What About Bob?" — before steering readers toward sumo action from the Nagoya basho and other weekend combat sports talk. MMA Mania's open threads typically blend off-topic chatter with fight news roundups on event days.

Edwards included clips of Daieisho catching Kotoshoho off guard and Takayasu dropping Yoshinofuji, both from the previous night's matches in Nagoya. The tournament wraps tonight, he noted, though neither wrestler shown can claim the championship.
The thread also pointed readers to recent coverage, including Kamaru Usman's reported injury during his loss to Dricus Du Plessis and Darren Elkins drawing a new booking. MMA Mania's daily open threads run throughout the week, mixing MMA news with reader-driven tangents on film, food, and other diversions.
