When you wrote Usman Nurmagomedov I instantly thought of a visual combination of Kamaru Usman and Khabib XD Altho, if you had a combo of those two fighters in one fighter...damn. regarding AJ and Patricio, both are accomplished grapplers more than strikers, I wouldn't mind seeing them throwdown and grapple a bit more in this match, could be interesting...

Yes, Khabib cousin has same name like Kamaru Usman but he is also a great fighter that has a perfect 12-0 record and I am wondering how Bellator snatched him from UFC, but lightweight category is stacked everywhere.
One more interesting fighter is Khasan Magomedsharipov who is brother of UFC fighter Zabit, and he is fighting with Jonathan Quiroz.
This Bellator fight card with Pitbull and Usman is probably better than some fight cards we see in UFC on paper, but let's see what happens in few days.

Great main event at Bellator this week end:  Patricio Pitbull vs AJ McKee.    I also see a Nurmagomedov in the card.  Is that the one who doesn’t really wrestle and kicks a lot?  I like that guy if it’s him.

And Nurmagomedov line is at 1.10.  Lol.  Over/under set at 1.5 rounds and favors slightly the under but Nurmagomedov inside the distace line at around 1.60.  I think that’s value.

He is Khabib's cousin with a perfect 12-0 record and I won't mess with him because I see that most of his wins are KO or TKO, only two fights ended with Decision, and he is a members of American Kickboxing Academy.
I am sure he is getting better in everything including wrestling if we know his coach is also his famous cousin below:



Here is his interview before this Bellator fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LrFSOMJraM
He is prepared very well for this fight and he is in America for two months.

One day left for next event Bellator 263 and look what happened in press conference between Patrico Pitbull Freire and A.J. McKee, big argument and they had to be restrained after that, reminding me a bit on scenes we see more often in UFC
Maybe someone wanted to create this and get nervous reaction right before the fight, but even without that it's hard for me to predict winner in this 50-50 fight that even bookmakers show with their odds.
McKee is well rounded, he has 8 inch reach advantage and amazingly perfect record 17-0, while Pitbull has some loses in his carrier but he is the champ in this category and has more experience because he is 8 years older than McKee.
I will give slight advantage to McKee but anything can happen in this fight and I expect to see a spectacle, probably one of the best fights to see in MMA at this time, and this Bellator card should not be missed!

^  If the line is 50/50 and you think the match itself really reflects the 50/50 line then it’s prolly good to go for the guy who has some physical advantages, the youth and the momentum.  I’d bet McKee here if I felt like gambling...  It’s a toss up.

If you want more value, McKee inside the distance is at 3.  I’m not sure if a crypto book has props for Bellator tho.

That was a nice submission guillotine win for AJ McKee and like I predicted we have a new champion fully deserved with perfect record 18-0.
Massive win for him as he earned $1 million prize, and he is calling all other featherweight fighters in the world to face him even outside Bellator.
We are talking about UFC champion Alexandar Volkanovski, Max Holloway and Brian Ortega from UFC, but Pitbull also wants his rematch.



Usman Nurmagomedov also won his fight very easy in first round, and Khabib must be very proud and happy for him, and same goes for Khasan Magomedsharipov who also won his fight with Jonathan Quiroz.

Now hold on there young McKee. First of all, someone should tell him that call out fighters in organizations that don't do crossover fights with his organization is just plain idiotic. Second of all, his performance was admirable and his finish, even if questioned by the Brazilian corner is a finish nonetheless. However, making such a noob mistake and not going in for the kill when that uppercut floored Pittbull tells mi he has much to learn before callouts like that.

Glad that i stayed away from this fight from making a bet as i did not want to bet against Patrício Pitbull as i made many winning bets in his career and the only reason i stayed away is because A.J.McKee was undefeated and i never thought that it would end in a submission victory against Patrício Pitbull .

Usman Nurmagomedov also won his fight very easy in first round, and Khabib must be very proud and happy for him, and same goes for Khasan Magomedsharipov who also won his fight with Jonathan Quiroz.

I am placing a bet whenever Usman Nurmagomedov is fighting because he is a future champion and i expected him to be in the UFC but Bellator gave him a much better offer and i do not think there is anyone that could be a challenge for him in his division in the Bellator.

It's not idiotic at all to have cross organization events with some special tournaments like we have in boxing and other sports.
He has all the rights to call off any fighters in the world and I am not at all impressed with any of featherweight fighters in UFC but I am not saying they are bad fighters.

I think that coach Khabib should get some reward for cross coaching so many great fighters and cousins in all mma organizations including his own eagla mma.
Nurmagomedov family is proving their worth and guys like McGregor and his clown friends are going down shamed in history.

It's idiotic because none of the fighters he called out is doing cross promotion so, his call out's are in fact pointless. MIght as well call out someone from the HW division, same chance of that fight happening. Cross promoting is a great idea, I never said that the idea is idiotic, but UFC is having nothing to do with it so this whole call-out makes as much sense as him saying he'll fly out of the arena on a unicorn.

Some big news from MMA world, and we finally know who will be the next opponent for Fedor Emelianenko, for Bellator Moscow event, and that is American guy Tim Johnson with record 15-7.
This event is planned for October 23 and we are going to have classic fight Russia vs USA for probably last fight for the Last Emperor Fedor Emelianenko.

Dan Hardy is very near of big comeback in his fighting carrier after being UFC commentator for years, now he is planned to fight in ONE Championship with John Wayne Parr!
His MMA record is 25-10, his last fight was long time ago in 2012, he always wanted to return but UFC never gave him the chance.

Yup. After some stupid back and forth between JWP and Dillon Danis, Dan Hardy stepped in and is interested. Now, I know Hardy is a MT guy as well, but it's hard to imagine he would come on top in this one.

Tim Johnson? I mean, sure, I guess, he's been through Bellator and UFC with a mixed result, and for all I know could pose a threat to Fedor, but at this point, I don't see the appeal of this fight at all. Do this types opponents really make money for Fedor?

[tokeweed]

^  I hope Dan Hardy is fit to get in the cage and fight again.  He has a heart condition and that was the reason why no commision would clear him to fight. 

And I think the UFC should do another trade or splash the cash for McKee not like what they did with Chandler.  They waited too long to acquire Chandler.

I think that coach Khabib should get some reward for cross coaching so many great fighters and cousins in all mma organizations including his own eagla mma.

Nurmagomedov family is proving their worth and guys like McGregor and his clown friends are going down shamed in history.  

Khabib Nurmagomedov will be using his Eagle promotion as a launching pad for his fighters to get signed in the global stage, either in the UFC or in Bellator  and we knew he will be a great coach as he was managing all of his Russian fighters even in the gym in US at AKA and everyone will follow him and that is because of the reputation he made and the reputation of his father.

Khabib Nurmagomedov cannot be compared to anyone else, after retirement he was offered a $100 million fight contract and he rejected that, anyone else would have jumped on to that offer.

Dan Hardy will not get medically cleared in the US and the UFC will not take risk like that.

I do not think the Bellator will let go of McKee like that.

Hmm...not sure about that. I doubt he would force a fight if he himself thinks that his medical condition is not cleared. But either way, UFC is not in the talks for that, I think ONE is the organization that will have that fight since JWP fights for them on an on/off basis.

I know...  But Bellator will prolly have a price in mind.  What if the UFC offered Max Holloway plus cash for AJ McKee.    I mean some deal like that could happen.  It happened in the past with Demetrious Johnson and Ben Askren.  And Dana White could include Conor McGregor as a free bonus.  Lololol.

I'm not really seeing or getting all the hype around him. I don't really see why the UFC would go out of their way to get him. If anything Pitbull (not the singer XD) would make much more sense, or even getting Mousasi or even Bader back than McKee. I mean, we are talking from a marketing perspective after all, and honestly, people don't really know who he is.

[tokeweed]

^  That’s the thing.  What hype?  There’s no hype around him but what he has is talent.  He is obv legit and a talent like that should be competing among the best.  And he’s just 26!  Pitbull, Mousassi and Bader are old..  I think over 35.  Lol.  With McKee they could build a brand around him cos he’s a fresh talent.

[pauloaragaomelo]

He is prepared very well for this fight and he is in America for two months.

The perfect successor to Khabib based on current records, quite enthusiastic to see Khabib stay active behind the octagon providing motivation to other wrestlers. If he manages to score a 20-0 record that would be great and we'll see if that will materialize in the games to come.

Exactly, he is a damn good fighter, and I bet Dana White would love to have him in his UFC team, but he can't catch them all

Bellator 264 Mousasi vs Salter event is starting in few days and we have one more great fight card with main event fight for Middleweight Championship belt fight with five rounds.
Co-main event is also looking great with Russian Andrey Koreshkov and Sabah Homasi fighting in Welterweight category.
Third great fight I am keeping my eye is between fighter from Dagestan, Russia Magomed Magomedov and American Raufeon Stots.
Both fighters have only one defeat each, and Magomedov is the only fighter that beat Petr Yan in fight (not counting that fake champ Aljamain Sterling).
