I am going to support Rakic Aleksander in fight against Volkan Oezdemir.
Rakic is more complete and better fighter, and odds are solid now.

Aleksandar Rakić and Volkan Oezdemir are really powerful strikers and i am not expecting this fight going the distance, considering the odds and seeing Volkan Oezdemir as the underdog i am going with him as he is a really powerful striker who once fought for the title and if Rakić is able to win then he will fast track his way to fight Jones.

Tell me...  Who do you guys think was winning this bout before that weird elbow from Rodriguez.  It was pretty close (tho slight edge went to KZ imho).

Korean Zombie was clearly winning the fight and with one second left Yair Rodriguez produced an wonderful reverse elbow like no one ever saw in the history of fighting and even Korean Zombie never anticipated that shot coming and hence he was confident with his movements even during the final few seconds, i would rather run if i knew i was winning the fight rather than entertaining the crowd .

I wouldn't say clearly.  It was obv so close.  Did you watch the tape?  I gave KZ the slight edge but I wouldn't be surprised if I give it to Rodriguez the next time I watch it.

if Rakić is able to win then he will fast track his way to fight Jones.

It is a long road for Aleksandar Rakić to fight for the title, he just faced one top contender in his career and that is Jimi Manuwa and this will be a huge test as Volkan Oezdemir is not an easy fight for any striker in the division and the only competition he faces is against elite level wrestlers and i would like to see them fight as the main event rather than 3 rounds, since both are good strikers i am expecting someone to sleep .

Yes i have watched the fight and i scored three bouts to the Korean Zombie and in the third round i think Yair Rodríguez edged him and in the final round too Korean Zombie was winning the fight and if it goes to a decision then i am sure Korean Zombie would have won the fight but that elbow changed everything and that too at the last second.

We have a fight night in South Korea and the surprise for me is Frankie Edgar taking the fight against Chan Sung Jung aka Korean Zombie in a short period and hence it is really difficult to understand how much Frankie is prepared for this fight without a full camp but i would always like to pick Frankie Edgar because of his experience and his talent inside the ring and even at  this age he is able to pose a challenge to any contender in the division and i am picking Edgar to win . My picks are, Edgar, Aleksandar Rakić, Mike Rodriguez, Liu Pingyuan

[KennyXBTC]

Okay.


Korean Zombie is totally badass .

hope he can earn a title shot from this fight

'Korean Zombie' Chan Sung Jung wins on home soil, beats Frankie Edgar by TKO

Chan Sung Jung had not competed on South Korean soil in more than 11 years. He made a triumphant homecoming Saturday.

Korean Zombie dominated this fight 100%
Easy win for him.

Other co-main event Rakic vs Ouzdemir was much more equal but judges decided for Volkan win.
It could go either way

I am yet to watch the fight but Korean Zombie finishing Frankie Edgar like that  i did not expect that and i did not expect Volkan Oezdemir and Aleksandar Rakic going the distance and the Choi Doo-ho getting finished is another shocker as he had a huge hype when he came into the UFC and had some great fights.

Well I am just saying that I want to see a McGregor and Edwards fight in the future if that would be possible to happen.

It will be a really huge fight, Leon Edwards is British and Conor McGregor is Irish and the fans will be crazy and we might even see the fans fighting each other in the lobby but the big problem is that Leon Edwards is a natural 170 pound fighter who does not cut much weight and Conor McGregor might walk around at that weight and if they fight it will not be an easy fight for Conor McGregor as Leon is a monster and his legit defeat was against Kamaru Usman in 2015 and after that he is on a winning streak.

Yes! that is what I want to see to happen but I want McGregor to have a fighting chance against Leon Edwards maybe he can pull out a stance knowing how Leon Edwards very well but in my opinion as well I want Leon Edwards to win this and make McGregor knows his place, I never was a fan of McGregor and I think that he really got his attitude that is why I want somebody to shut him up for good, Sorry for all Conor fans here but that is all my opinion Khabib Nurmagomedov all the way!

And regarding Fight Night 165 between Frankie Edgar VS Chan Sung Jung, I think the Korean Zombie is a total badass and Edgar is out of his league against his opponent this time After his recent defeat against Brian Ortega and Max Holloway Frankie Edgar should think this up and might want to change into another career or maybe think about it well that is just my opinion, and having a lot experience than The Korean Zombie with 31 Matches right now It is clear to have a Retirement pull as Ben Askren did, I think he had an upcoming fight against Cody Sandhagen in a Bantamweight fight next month but because of TKZ's TKO win over him this is a major set back, and I don't likely to see a retirement for him but his tweet just give me an idea that he might pull something like that.

Right, it was a complete domination from the Korean Zorean, no disrespect to Frankie Edgar but I think he needs to contemplate about his next options (not just his hair).

Give the Korean Zombie the next title shot, I think he deserves it.

^ ^  You can't take away anything from Edgar imo.  He took the bout on short notice when Brian Ortega pulled out.

It is true that Frankie Edgar took the fight in short notice and that too for the main event and he took that chance and did not went his way and the funny thing was his hair style as i have not seen him in a retro get up  , we might see Frankie going down to 135 pound in his next fight. Now Korean Zombie is calling for a title shot but i think he should wait as Max Holloway might get his rematch next against Alexander Volkanovski.

I felt bad for Frankie Edgar. He is old and is nearing his 40s. And a late notice fight made it worse. Props to the Korean Zombie for doing his job well. I would love him to fight Valkanovski. Max can have a tune-up and then fights the winner.

I will give an edge if the opponent is a striker to Conor McGregor as his worst enemy is a wrestling based fighter like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson but if he is planning to take on Leon Edwards which is 170 pounds division i doubt whether Conor McGregor will be having the same knockout power as Nate Diaz was able to take his punches how about a fighter who is in the top ten in the division, i bet he will not knock them out.

It was a short notice fight and hence you cannot come to a conclusion just by this fight. I have not seen many Korean Zombie fights as he is not a PPV fighter.

LMAO the hair!  Yup!  That was my first reaction too.  Still, I think the bout could be more competitive if he had a full training camp.

But I think Edgar won't get any more title shots in any weight class he's going.  His best years are behind him.

Donald Cerrone responds to conspiracies that he’ll take a dive against Conor McGregor

“Hell no, I’m not bowing down,” Cerrone said. “There’s a bunch of sh*t going around, people keep telling me ‘I heard you’re getting paid to take a dive.’ There wouldn’t be enough money in the world for someone to pay me to take a dive. I could never look myself in the mirror if somebody paid me to take a dive. Sh*t, never happen.

Well, I am not saying that this fight can be possible but I just want McGregor to perish on Edwards's hands but yes Leon Edwards is in a different league and I say there is no seem the brilliant thing that McGregor can surely have a fighting chance against a wrestler in Khabib's kind of level, Well I will not sure expect something like a fight to happen.

It was a short notice fight and hence you cannot come to a conclusion just by this fight. I have not seen many Korean Zombie fights as he is not a PPV fighter.

Well maybe you're right and maybe a rematch is needed so it may conclude that Korean Zombie really have the wits to take on a different caliber fighter but we can not neglect some things he did and the experience he gains in the past and I think he still has a long way before making it to another division.

Conor McGregor is getting ready for his newxt fight...and posting some pictures on his Twitter.
This fight will be important for us to see if he can still fight, or maybe he can work only work like mma commentator and trash talker

The rumor is that Donald Cerrone will be paid good enough to loose the fight, the reason for these rumors is because they are fighting at Welterweight and even Dana White said if he defeats Cerrone he will be getting a crack at a rematch between Khabib which makes no sense and the tickets for UFC 246 are sold within 3 minutes which is insane consider the way in which he lost the fight to Khabib and yet he is still having a bigger fan base which is really crazy.
