Guys, cool down, FIGHT NIGHT 163 a dull shit card turned out compared to 244
When will you start discussing Blachowicz vs. Jacare

[notblox1]

I am not to exited about this UFC Fight Night 1644 in Brazil
None of the fighters I follow are on the card.
Jan Błachowicz have better odds by bookies, but he is going at Ronaldo Souza home.
Anything can happen really

[YuginKadoya]

Abubakar Nurmagomedov might be too confident going into this bout and for David Zawada it is a do or die fight and he already lost two fights and if he lost this fight he would have been released from the UFC and everything was going according to Nurmagomedov and he took him down but he never expected he could get stuck in a triangle chock and  Conor started his fun games after the fight.

After David Zawada's two consecutive lost he then makes a comeback by making a win over Abubakar Nurmagomedov and after their fight he humbly respects the Nurmagomedov family despite all the trash talks he got so respect to the guy, and I think this is not been expected by Abubakar at all.

Zabit Magomedsharipov is not ready to face Max Holloway and he needs to improve his cardio and i was surprised this was a 3 round main event and if this was a five round event i am sure Zabit Magomedsharipov could have struggled. There is another interesting fight we can have in this division and that is Yair Rodríguez v Zabit Magomedsharipov as both were supposed to fight earlier but Yair Rodríguez pulled out for unknown reason and i would like to see that fight next.

That is what I think as well, Zabit Magomedsharipov is not yet ready for a Max Holloway fight Although Zabit's limits would mostly only for four to five rounds he can have a fighting chance if he would surely build his Cardio but in the latest news he said that he is certainly having trouble with a bacterial infection and that is what he is having problem regarding his cardio,

But yes I also want to see a Zabit VS Yair fight as well and rooting for that day to come.

The card is having all the veterans fighting to make money and hence no one is interested in these fights  . One thing i did not understand is that Jan Błachowicz is a light heavyweight fighter and Ronaldo Souza is a 185 pound fighter and i am not sure why he moved up and took that fight and Maurício Rua is another veteran who is in the later part of his fighting career, the rest of the fighters are literally not known to me.

But yes I also want to see a Zabit VS Yair fight as well and rooting for that day to come.

Since Max Holloway has an opponent to face in Alexander Volkanovski which is scheduled for the December card we might see Zabit Magomedsharipov and Yair Rodriguez as they are ranked 5 and 6 respectively and any fight with these two opponents will be a spectacle for the audience as you will see many unorthodox techniques.

Since this is a Brazilian even you will see many fan favorites in the event and in the main event Jan Blachowicz is the favorite as Ronaldo Souza is moving up in weight.

Among all the fighters I'm familiar only with Souza and Rua. Haven't seen Rua for a long time. I was thinking that he has retired...

Jan Błachowicz - doesn't seems like a problem to Souza, based on opponents Blachowicz had. If was an experienced UFC fighter, Blachowicz loses, if not - a win
Rua seems to win his fight as he is more experienced.

Stop joking, Craig, Oliveira, Muniz, Perez, Ramos, Garagorri, Moraes - these names are at least by ear. And the cherry on the cake, the beauty Ariane Lipski, who lost at the beginning of the summer, Molly McCann. She’s a fighter so-so, but it’s always nice to watch a beautiful girl

Nick Diaz might fight again. However, is this only Nick and Nate's plan to make more money out of a losing situation? I reckon the Diaz brothers are using their popularity in the sport only to get the money. They might have lost their passion for mixed martial arts.


While Nick Diaz said he was “absolutely not” interested in resuming his fighting career, he may make an exception for Jorge Masvidal.

Earlier this month, Masvidal collided with Nick’s younger brother Nate. “Gamebred” scored a third-round TKO win via doctor’s stoppage. Nick was none too pleased with Masvidal saying that he wanted to “baptize” Nate.

Diaz dropped hints of wanting to fight Masvidal in AT&T Stadium. Helwani reached out to Diaz’s team, who confirmed that that’s the one fight Nick wants for spring 2020.

They want to make money out of fighting. But they definitely love the smell of blood in the same manner they love the smell of cash. Nate's loss to Masvidal is something he can make an excuse of. And so asking for an opportunity to face him again inside the octagon in a rematch is both income-generating and a great opportunity to prove that their previous battle could have gone the other way had the doctor not intervened. Let us wait what Dana has to say on this.

Well, if there are surely a big chance for a Zabit Magomedsharipov VS Yair Rodriguez fight then that will be great and I think that there are fans that are very likely to have this fight, but I am having a doubt if Zabit can have a solution with his Cardio then I guess he would likely have a fighting chance against Yair Rodriguez, but that will be a lovely fight to watch.

Let me start

Date   November 16, 2019
Venue   Ginásio do Ibirapuera
City   São Paulo, Brazil

Fight Card (ESPN+)

Light Heavyweight   Jan Błachowicz   vs.   Ronaldo Souza            
         

In this fight I think that I have seen an article about Souza's Mental Health that he nearly quits UFC even though they are saying that this issue has been taken care off, I think there will still be a problem with Souza's performance, while in the other hand Blachowicz’s is a fairly durable fighter that can surely take Souza on in my opinion, And maybe Blachowicz’s can have an advantage in this fight.

She was supposed to be the 'next big thing' in the UFC but turned out to be something like Sage Northcutt and to some extent, Ben Askren after two straight losses to Clarke and McMann.

She's due tho.  I like her as the slight underdog here.

The Diaz brothers are making money outside the UFC as they are involved in the weed business and promoting them and they are making use of their popularity well and Nick Diaz is not even interested to be back in the fight game anytime soon as he was offered different fights earlier and considering their popularity the UFC would have offered them a heavy check too, they understand it is not about belts now a days and they are trying to make the maximum money within MMA.

Nick Diaz did opened up on a possible return to MMA. He is old at 36 but he knows he can cashout millions due to him and his brother's popularity. Dana White is fucking UFC fighters with low payments compared to boxing stars where viewership is nearly at par. Chasing a title fight to win a belt can be the gateway for fighters to become popular and earn big. But fighters with solid fan base can get paid better than champions. Look at Connor McGregor, everybody wants a piece of him rather than the champion Khabib. Connor is more than just a UFC belt. Boxing is actually  where the fight money is. It's the reason why many UFC star fighters wanted to fight boxing superstars. Nate Diaz took a boxing license trying to lure someone, Stipe Miocic wanted to fight Fury and Masvidal wanted to fight Saul Alvarez. These UFC fighters can get paid in millions fighting those boxing stars though they will get beaten badly.

The main fighters might not be earning the amount like Floyd Mayweather but i doubt none of the boxers will be earning that kind of money and if you look at the rest of the fighters in a boxing event none of the fighters will be getting paid like they get in the UFC, so the comparison is not meaningful.

These UFC fighters can get paid in millions fighting those boxing stars though they will get beaten badly.           

You cannot compare and expect a different result when a boxer steps in MMA and the other way round, boxing is one dimensional and MMA is multi dimensional.

Not just Floyd Mayweather. There are too many high paid boxers out there that UFC superstars can't match in terms of purses. Saul Alvarez, Manny Pacquiao, Anthony Joshua, Vassily Lomachencko, etc. Some of them are not even world champions. I guess even the likes of Derek Chisora and 21 year old prospect Ryan Garcia are more expensive than the current active UFC superstars.

I'm talking about the money. Don't get me wrong. I like MMA. Just facts, no excuses.

I will watch main event BLACHOWICZ VS JACARE...
but probably skip other fights, or watch some if I have time.

As this is in Brasil check your time zone and countdown

Nick acting like the Big Brother while staring at $$$ 
"All I see is f*cking dollar signs right now"

Jorge did a poll in his youtube channel where he asked his followers who they want to be baptized next and Nick was among the list. Conor was the fans favorite though.

As to the potential Masvidal - (Nick) Diaz fight, I don't think it will generate the same hype with the Nate fight. UFC should grant Jorge a title fight instead and he deserves it.

That's because boxing got higher viewers/watchers than MMA which also means higher revenue at the same time ~ change my mind. It so happens maybe because world boxing championships are first founded compare to MMA championships (I believe so, tho I'm not really sure about this) thus they now have more supporters than MMA. Another factor to be considered is the tehnicality, Boxing could be understand even by a grade school student while MMA is way more complex than that. Do you think every people knows what a Kimura is? Of course not, so they tend to watch boxing oftenly than MMA. I hope you can get my point .

I agree with your point that boxing is a one dimensional sport and it is easy for everyone to understand but MMA confuses the new audience and it will take time to understand the sport but boxing is a sweet sport and the different organization and greedy promoters killed boxing but now we are seeing a new wave of talents and we are seeing a resurrection in the audience interest.
