The reason Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov was telling about retirement is because he wants to have opportunity for his other students to shine especially Islam Makhachev who he thought could equally dominate everyone and he knows as an athlete that you cannot be in top shape for eternity and there is a peak time to perform and get out without having any damage.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is the most humble celebrity to could find, hats off to his modest outlook and the way in which he respects everyone that deserves respect.

Mike Brown the coach of Jorge Masvidal tested positive for corona virus and Paul Felder is pulled from the commentary team fearing of exposure from the virus as he was travelling with another coach Din Thomas who also tested positive. The UFC is doing a really good job monitoring and testing everyone and these people were asymptomatic and because of the testing by the UFC they came to know about the infection and hopefully there will not be any further change for the fight card.

Jorge Masvidal is having a great time as Dana White was forced to bend to his demands and he is riding the best script in his career, when Burns was chosen as the next opponent for Usman i was thinking what the future holds for Masvidal but it is magically turned in his favor .

@7788bitcoin that is a great analysis for the main event, how about the rest of the fight card as all the title shots and the main event cards are tough ones to predict but i am picking Petr Yan, Rose Namajunas and Amanda Ribas but the main events i am not sure which one to pick as of yet.

The minister might not be having any other work during the lock down period and he might be watching a ton of conspiracy theories and thought about investigating about the missed world cup of Sri Lanka without any evidence or he might have lost a ton of money betting on that game and now almost a decade later he wanted to find out whether his betting line was correct  . Majority of the politicians are dumb and because they have the power to investigate without any evidence they proceeded without understanding the consequences and hence they had to close them because of the backlash they got. 

It is great to hear that Jorge Masvidal was willing to take advantage of the situation and Kamaru Usman was willing to fight any opponent and it is a really great situation for the fans.

The fight is taking place in Abu Dhabi but without any audience and after listening to Ariel Helwani i had a different thought, even if Kamaru Usman did not get the visa nor board the flight to Abu Dhabi and if Jorge Masvidal gets his demands fulfilled they can conduct the fight in Las Vegas in their own facility Apex center and broadcast worldwide as the main event rather than flying to Abu Dhabi while the rest of the fight is taking place in the fight island.

I thought the UFC had time to negotiate for a replacement but since the fight is taking place in the UAE the possibility we could see the Usman fight is very slim and Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway might be the main event. If the fight was scheduled in the US i am sure the UFC will scramble to make the fight happen and Masvidal would have got the money he was demanding.

I do not see Khabib retiring but i hope he will see it as a motivation to make his dad proud and defend his title a few times before retiring.

Just one more week and i do not see any replacement.

Jorge Masvidal was supposed to fight Kamaru Usman in this fight card but it was not scheduled because of payment issues and this is a great opportunity for Gamebred to get the money he is looking for by taking a short replacement fight but i doubt Usman will be willing to take him on a short notice.

It is not that easy as you think, there are strategies you do against an opponent studying their tapes and understanding patterns and if you are training for months for a single opponent and then there is a switch off opponent at the last moment it is not an advantage for anyone.

The prime example is Khabib and Al Iaquinta fight, there was 6 or 7 opponents changed during that fight week and Khabib was willing to fight anyone but it was not that dominating like the rest of his fights and the so called pundits were taking that fight to compare his flaws in taking down Al Iaquinta and his stand up issues even though he dominated Al Iaquinta every round, change of opponents is a major factor for anyone as these are not backyard fights and these are elite of the elite fighters and preparation means everything.

It is much deeper than what is in the surface, Khabib relates everything in his life through martial arts and training, if you can go back and watch his Russian TV interview while he was injured for over a year back in 2015, he said he felt he was in jail because he could not train nor he could fight and that is how he relates life, if he is frustrated or depressed he gets that relief if he trains hard and overcome that state of mind, it is a completely different philosophy altogether.

When i saw your topic i was curious to know what is going on because ETH is considered as cash which is a complete bullshit in itself if you are aware of it but then alani123 explained where this topic evolved and now that is deleted from reddit itself. Lets be clear if you create a story just for the clicks make sure that it should be believable and if you involve ETH its gone  .

It is wishful thinking that we will see back to back IPL tournaments but for that to happen we should think that the corona situation will be over by the end of this year but the way things are going globally it is highly unlikely we will see the normal days anytime soon, the second and third waves will be keep on hitting and with the huge number of population in India it will take a really long time and if the BCCI consider to take the series outside then it is possible but lets see what they are planning for this year and whether they can do it successfully and after that we can think about other series.

The pandemic has opened a paradox where every country will try to build business within their country rather than outsourcing and that is the changes we will be seeing after this and it might affect other countries that were taking these opportunities to create jobs.

How do you think cryptocurrency will help in economic recovery, it could create jobs if there are projects that could come up with solutions and thereby helping the economy and even then it will be small percentage and when it comes to transactions if you are doing long distance transactions especially across continents then BTCitcoin is the perfect mode of transaction, particularly for export and import business and not for small transactions.
The potential is immense and we will see many developments in the next ten years.

If you think that a gambling site is there to give out free money then you will end up in a situation like you described, you need to be sensible in what you claim.

So where is the accusation, you asked them to delete your account and what is the problem now, you were foolish enough to bet with your life savings and gambling site is not about giving out free money and shit happens if you try to extend your luck for a longer period of time despite saying that sorry to hear about your loss.

He might look like teenager and so does Frankie Edgar who is 38 and Yoel Romero who is 43 but looks like he is ten years younger but these fighters are in elite competition for decades and the body cannot take damage anymore but Yoel Romero is an exception as he is still a tough fight for any elite fighter , look at Jose Aldo he is just 33 but his prime days are over and the same with Renan Barao who was once considered as the top pound for pound fighter but his prime days were over before 30 years of age.

It is a really sad news and during the past few weeks he used to post videos about training hard to relieve his stress because of his fathers condition and now he is no more and how it will affect Khabib is to be seen. About the record, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov is a legend of the sport but not sure about the world record as i searched the Guinness books of records but cannot find that record but it might be a Russian record or they never applied to get enrolled in Guinness.

I would like to see Kumar Sangakkara heading the ICC and Sourav Ganguly who is currently heading the BCCI carrying on in that position for a few years and if these former players are at the helm i am sure we will see good things happen for cricket as they are both legendary players who knows very well how to develop cricket and have the educational background where Sangakkara was a really bright student during his school days and enrolled in Law but not sure whether he was able to complete because he was busy playing for the country and both of them have the leadership qualities to make things great for the sport.

Do you really think it is a realistic possibility that we would see IPL this year in India, it might be possible if they take the tournament elsewhere, the situation in India is really going down the drains and i am witnessing it first hand and i am personally terrified seeing the situation that every other place is marked as red zone and i am stuck in the financial capital and i have no idea what the situation would be.

If you find a member with a red tag then it gives you the warning before you trade with them and there is no point in removing those profiles from the forum as those records should be kept here for future reference.

You have to see these in aspect of the Lightweight division which is the best and the toughest division in the history of MMA, Tony Ferguson is a top level fighter and one loss against Justin Gaethje will not take the shine away from his performances he was doing for the past decade and he was undefeated for a long period of time and you should remember Tony Ferguson made weight two times in a few weeks which is not a good thing for your body and he is not getting younger.

As for Conor McGregor he can fill any stadium whenever he fights and hence it is not a big deal for him, all he need to do is to create interest and a story line so that causal fans gets glued to the screen and he is more than capable to do that and you need to remember Conor McGregor just two fights in the division with one loss and he is not even considered to be in that division. The best bet is to have some fun fights and make the money he can and then retire for good as he is well settled in life with his other business ventures.

During the lockdown when there was no sporting events i started monitoring all the eSports events and i have seen some dubious game plays in the past three months and i am sure the players are manipulating the betting line and it will attract hardcore gamblers.

The match today for example which was dubious was ENCE v Heroic. Heroic won the first set and in the second set they were leading and then suddenly ENCE came from behind and the odds for winning the second set for them was over 10 and they magically won and in the third set they won the first two points and the total odds for Heroic went over 2 and then from that situation Heroic won easily just giving away 3 more points after that.
These is just a single match which i saw today and i had seen many matches like these in the past where the team winning from impossible situations.

I messed up big time in three of my parlay in this fight card by adding Luis Peña and Sean Woodson in all the parlay and both of them lost by submission. It was a really great fight card with 6 stoppage victories and the main card was incredible and i assume you went for over in Dustin Poirier   v Dan Hooker and Mike Perry v Mickey Gall but i was not expecting the Mike Perry fight to go the distance and it was a great pick.

We had some great fights this year and Dan Hooker was involved in two fights and his fight against Felder was also great and this fight against Poirier is another contender and my other picks are Ferguson and Gaethje, Zhang and Jędrzejczyk.

I am sure the funds collected in the name of their token distribution will not be shown as the companies net worth, i assume the funds are collected and deposited in their bank account and that will enable them to collect dividends from the bank and $1.2 billions will get them some change.

The only positive aspect regarding this is that i hope all the ICO that collect funds in the future will be liable to return the funds to the investors if they are not able to fulfill the project and if there is a healthy situation like that then you might see a turnaround in the ICO market that has legit projects and we can weed out the scams.

I do not think they will scrap T20 even if T10 or Hundred catches fans attention but it might hurt the ODI and Test format without a doubt. If cricket has more formats then it is well and fine as we might see more tournaments and club cricket might catch up in the future which is really lacking in the grand scale like we see in Football and for the sport to get popular among new fans they need to restrict the time duration and only time will tell whether it will bring any new fans to cricket.

These formats will have an impact on the quality of players they produce and we might end up with a situation where it is hard to produce any solid players with good defense who could play Test cricket.

Anyone who played cricket could relate to the 10 to 15 overs cricket matches in the backyard or in school and college tournaments as well as club tournaments and during my playing days i was really good at these short formats but i was well aware i was not good enough to play Test cricket or ODI because i lack the stamina or the patience to score slowly and now with these short formats and i am sure you could find millions of players who are really good at these short formats.
