 I'm starting to feel sorry for Chandler, he pushed really hard for the fight with McGregor but might end up with nothing but wasted time. At least he's earning some money from The Ultimate Fighter show, so it's not all that bad for him.

Michael Chandler is preparing hard for the match up if you follow his social media and the match up against Conor McGregor is an golden opportunity for him to make a substantial amount of money and hopefully he will be able to fight him.

Just done watching UFC Singapore just now.  And as I said I think Blanchfield vs Santos should've been co main event as it had title implications.  It was also the much better match to watch than Chikadze vs the other guy.

Missed the entire event as the timing of this fight card was way off than usual. Looking at the results not many upsets.

I forgot this event was starting really early because it was in Singapore, so I only managed to watch main event between Max Holloway and Korean Zombie.
It was amazing KO win by Holloway but I think Zombie was really good up until third round when he started to attack without thinking or defense.
This was amazing carrier for Korean Zombie and I am sad to see him officially announcing retirement

I completely forgot that it was in singapore so I was exposed to a lot of spoilers until I watched the whole main event. It was a really good event. The main match Max Halloway - Korean Zombie match was really great and it was a dramatic ending. Korean Zombie ended his UFC journey by having two heavy defeats, first with Volkanovski and then with Max, by fighting fearlessly in the halloway fights and even knowing that he would lose. In this event, Max really showed a lot of respect but in the last round Korean Zombie had nothing to do but attack. Max Halloway never shy away from such fights and provided a very hard TKO hit.

And there is another thing which builds up from a young age between the kids of Dagestan. It’s being a disciplined individual. They are learning to show value for everything. Even for something that we take for granted in our life which is time. They do not waste time. At least most of them.

And they of course follow discipline and religion a lot. Which helps them a lot in future to be what they want to be and be very good at it. Oh, and most of the time they are out of the distractions that we have. Especially the distractions that almost any children has which is playing games on the mobile phone from a very young age or having an affair. They are out of that.

This is something that the religion of Muslim has disciplined Well I can say that not really all are so disciplined but in their religion, they do this and do that without much hesitation not all Muslims is Discipline with something but the Dagestan fighters surely know that being Disciplined in what they do they know that it will surely bear fruit in the end, and surely because Khabib Nurmagomedv have proven this in his career, that all of the guys he trained will surely come-out monsters inside the ring, well not including Khamzat Chimaev, and surely he is not Disciplined enough in his religion but surely Khamzat has proven even without that Hardwork was one of his best goals,

The fight was surely early because it was in Singapore so surely instead of a Saturday start for USA time it was in Asian Time where the time was pretty much early I also missed the fights even though I was in the Philippines and because I thought that the fight will Start on Sunday time which it was really early I missed making my Prediction and bet for sure I should make my prediction and bet much early than that,

Surely the Korean Zombie goes into Zombie mode in this fight which Max Holloway isn't expecting but surely Max Holloway make adjustment pretty fast when the Korean Zombie goes in this mode, That is how good Max Holloway is even though the Korean Zombie has pretty much shown his best performance Max Holloway just adjust fast enough to make preparation toward this and gave the Zombie a hard time I think this is how good Max Holloway is, and respect for him giving much respect to the Korean Zombie and hat Retirement was really expected he did say that this could be his last fight so it was he just tried his best against Max Holloway for sure,

Surprised many forgot the time difference and not realizing it started so early then completely missed it. Here the early prelims were 5 in the morning. The main event was around 9, so it was understandable many were already out the door beginning their day.

Great for Max Holloway saying how hard he was and being graceful in his post fight interview with standing up toe to toe with the Korean Zombie:
Max Holloway reflects on KO win against 'The Korean Zombie'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw5UDub_kDk
Here was the "long ass walkout song" Max was telling everybody about from the above interview but it was the best in the business:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y02RfA63KmE

It was like being at a rock concert and was a really great thing to witness.
Greatness from TKZ even if not getting the outcome he wanted but a career to remember going against the best of the best.

[tusandii]

The battle is getting closer and we will witness how Adesanya will fight with a feeling of passion and emotional that is mounting.
I can't wait to witness it soon, to see Adesanya throwing heavy blows at Strickland's body.

Isn't this a great lineup for the UFC, fighters with careers on the rise and each with a belt in their hands.
Islam Makhachev should also be in that row.

I have done a study about comparative religion, First of all the religion is not called “Muslim”, the name of the religion is “Islam”. The followers of Islam are called Muslim.

Of course, following Islam has made them mentally strong. They are not including themselves in all the distractions, and also all kinds of degeneracy that is going on in the West. So they grew up being disciplined from a very young age. And it is easy to be motivated to do something. But it is very hard to actually be disciplined enough to continue doing that every day. That’s why 99% of the population fails to be great. But then there is that 1%  like Khabib Nurmagomedov. And that is also why there is the need of a father figure or the actual biological father of the child to be present in his life.

Yup..  The roster for belt holders look good atm or let's say interesting.    A better look for all title holders was at 2013 imho.  The champs were DJ at 125, Cruz at 135, Aldo at 145, Edgar at 155, GSP at 170, Silva at 185, Jones at 205 and Cain Velasquez at HW...  The UFC's golden years imho.

Even though Alex Pereira defeated Sean Strickland it doesn't mean that Israel Adesanya can defeat him easily, because there could be an adjustment for the fighter that we don't know of if Sean Strickland's defense is good for Israel Adesanya but not against Alex Pereira, well what I want to say is don't underestimate Sean Strickland but for sure I will bet for Israel Adesnaya,

Well, for sure he should be but for sure he needs another win now it was a controversial win over Alexander Volkanovski, so with his latest fight he should win this with a dominant win over Charles Oliveira, Islam Makhachev needs a dominant win on this one,

I have done a study about comparative religion, First of all the religion is not called “Muslim”, the name of the religion is “Islam”. The followers of Islam are called Muslim.

Of course, following Islam has made them mentally strong. They are not including themselves in all the distractions, and also all kinds of degeneracy that is going on in the West.

And that is also why there is the need of a father figure or the actual biological father of the child to be present in his life.

Nice! Thanks for the Correction and heads-up I was wrong I forgot that the word was Islam and the people of Islam were Muslim often I hear my Muslim friends they will always say we are Muslim and then we will answer that we are Christians, so I thought that Muslim was the religion, but thanks to the heads-up about this,

For sure the mentality of the earthly things if they focus on it, and if they focus on the task at hand Muslim fighters have an edge in their every fight but surely there are sometimes Muslims that have deviated in the Islam faith, those with less faith,

[Smack That Ace]

I forgot this event was starting really early because it was in Singapore, so I only managed to watch main event between Max Holloway and Korean Zombie.
It was amazing KO win by Holloway but I think Zombie was really good up until third round when he started to attack without thinking or defense.
This was amazing carrier for Korean Zombie and I am sad to see him officially announcing retirement

The fight was surely early because it was in Singapore so surely instead of a Saturday start for USA time it was in Asian Time where the time was pretty much early I also missed the fights even though I was in the Philippines and because I thought that the fight will Start on Sunday time which it was really early I missed making my Prediction and bet for sure I should make my prediction and bet much early than that,

I definitely remember that Max Holloway was not as good as this before. And of the words the start of his career. But he has definitely improved over time and has become one of the best boxer. I know he is an MMA fighter, but he is definitely better at boxing. I was actually expecting the same type of fight from these two. Both of them brought out the best of themselves from each other. I can say that both of them have respect for each other as well. And of course, Max Holloway is on another level. He can read his opponent and make adjustments. Just like Khabib Nurmagomedov said, "Max Holloway is the real gangster".

[TopTort777]

As I have said, Holloway took Zombie to a boxing class. He has let Zombie to try this and that, and ended everything with an overhand. Good that Max is not a barbarian, and did no jump on him over with hammerfists. Also feel sad that Zombie retired. We gonna miss another big name. I wonder what is next for Max? Fourth fight agains Volkanovski?

[tokeweed]

^  Yup, it looked like TKZ was getting outstruck then at the last minute he went 'fck it let's go' then went ape shit and got caught for it.  Lol.  He was never going anywhere in the UFC even if he played it safe.  So might as well go out with a bang...    He was gonna retire anyway, so yeah...

Here's a free fight of Gane.  I think next event has match ups that would make nice parlays.

Anyway, I'm starting to take the Contender Series now after O'Malley became 135 champ.  He got his first break going into the UFC thru that show.  Didn't really take it seriously before.  Lol.

Week 4 in a couple of days.

Date:  Tuesday, August 29
Main Card (Fight Pass):  8:00pm EST
Venue:  UFC Apex Center, Las Vegas, Nevada
Live Streams:  



Main Card
Lightweight:  Bolaji Oki vs Dylan Salvador

Featherweight:  Mateo Vogel vs Timothy Cuamba            
Middleweight:  Marco Tulio Silva vs Yousri Belgaroui            
Welterweight:  Carlos Prates vs Mitch Ramirez

[TopTort777]

I think O’Malley is not the first guy from uncle Danas Contender series who is showing great results. For example Jamahal Hill current/former light heavyweight champ came also from Uncle Danas big show. There is guy Bo Nickal, who says he is better in wrestling than any Dagestan boys, is from Contender series also. He could be next middleweight champ. Just few years, Izzy would become old and Bo would be the one who will have a title fight. Remember my words

Surely many fighters in the UFC keep on improving every time they fight and an example of this is Justin Gaethje In Gaethje's past fights you can see that he was very aggressive and was not setting up things, not fainting when he fought and just throwing random punches, and surely his kicks were also additional to this improvement, so in his fight with Dustin Poirier he already knows what to do, and yeah Max Holloway now is pretty much improving aswell in this fight with the Korean Zombie,

As I have said, Holloway took Zombie to a boxing class. He has let Zombie to try this and that, and ended everything with an overhand. Good that Max is not a barbarian, and did no jump on him over with hammerfists. Also feel sad that Zombie retired. We gonna miss another big name. I wonder what is next for Max? Fourth fight agains Volkanovski?

Max Holloway has respect for the Korean Zombie which is why he didn't make something that could cause any concussion to the Korean Zombie when he retired I really think he already knows that the Korean Zombie will retire for sure that is why he did this, It was really amazing and chilling when the Korean Zombie announce his retirement and Max Holloway has given the floor to the Korean Zombie for sure,

Anyway, I'm starting to take the Contender Series now after O'Malley became 135 champ.  He got his first break going into the UFC thru that show.  Didn't really take it seriously before.  Lol.

Nice one We really don't give any attention to the Contender Series likely too busy in preparation with the fights and bets for the upcoming event but for sure the Contender Series is another thing to get new and upcoming prospect surely looking at the fighters that will fight in this Contender Series that we have right now later,

Where is that lazy tokeweed? Where is new event announcement? I could have done it myself, but I am on vacation. Kinda hard to make all that post editions on the phone  

Anyway, it is gonna be Gane vs Spivak. Who do you think gonna win? All shows that Gane. He gonna recover his reputation after fight with Bones.

[Hirose UK]

Even though Alex Pereira defeated Sean Strickland it doesn't mean that Israel Adesanya can defeat him easily, because there could be an adjustment for the fighter that we don't know of if Sean Strickland's defense is good for Israel Adesanya but not against Alex Pereira, well what I want to say is don't underestimate Sean Strickland but for sure I will bet for Israel Adesnaya,

On this card many people think that Adesanya will easily win against Sean Strickland because in the previous fight Sean Strickland was defeated by Alex Pereira and when Adesanya underwent a rematch against Alex Pereira he managed to win and everyone made that fight one of the keys to early victory for Adesanya over Sean Strickland.
It seems like that way of thinking is the main idea that everyone has but actually it's not that easy to determine which of the two can be the winner.
To bet I will also still choose Adesanya as the main favorite.

I guess here is what you are looking for and because you are on mobile that is why you didn't see the latest event that he posted for sure the Gane VS Spivak will be a banger Sergey Spivak got the power while Ciryl Gane got the technicality, in some fights like this I surely sided more on the fighter with the most technicality in striking,

Well, for sure they are comparing that fights, and just like you I also think that many are thinking the same scenario, which is terribly wrong, even though Sean Strickland was defeated by Alex Pereira, Izzy and Pereira is a different fighter and looking at Sean Strickland latest fight he is a different Strickland that is good at defense for sure Israel Adesanya will have a difficult time against him, the defence of Strickland was surely something else, but we still have time to analyze it if it will pose a threat to Israel Adesanya or not, and I think we should Focus on Gane VS Spivac fight for now,

[tokeweed]

I think O’Malley is not the first guy from uncle Danas Contender series who is showing great results. For example Jamahal Hill current/former light heavyweight champ came also from Uncle Danas big show. There is guy Bo Nickal, who says he is better in wrestling than any Dagestan boys, is from Contender series also. He could be next middleweight champ. Just few years, Izzy would become old and Bo would be the one who will have a title fight. Remember my words  

Oh...  Def agree on Bo Nickal.  And he's the kind of guy you like rooting for.  He's smart and articulate in interviews and acts like a regular guy from what I've seen.  Total opposite of Adesanya who's trying too hard to be cool but it's all just cringe.  I used to like him when he was still coming up the rankings...  But now, meh.  Not a fan.

Here's another free fight.  For Spivak this time.

UFC Free Fight:  Spivak vs Lewis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEmyzNPxLKw

Btw, another guy who would make a champ in the future is Tom Aspinall.  Good fighter, smart and down to earth.

[TopTort777]

That being “a regular guy” from Bo Nickal might cause his path to a title foght be longer than usually. UFC dont like calm, shy, regular and not interesting fighters. I agree that before becoming a champ, Adesanya was completely different. When he bacame champ, he became more cautious, he risks less. I think with his trash talk he tries to compensate boring part of his fights.
