I watched some Robeto Soldic fights and he is amazing fighter, famous in all Poland as champion and I wonder when UFC will invite him.
His win record is great with over 80% of KO/TKO wins, and last time he lost was back in 2018, and he is favorite in this fight.
One thing I have problem is finding crypto bookies that are offering betting on KSW events...

Let's get back on Dana White Contender Series starting in few hours with main fight Ulberg vs Oliveira
Countdown for start and voting, and we can see Oliveira is favorite:

^  Ulberg seems overvalued at 1.50 and having a record of 2 - 0.  I mean sure he trains with Eugene Bareman at City Kickboxing with likes of Adesanya and Volkanovski, but still...

I guess we'll see.

Edit:  Btw..  New UFC pool is up.  Bumped up the prizes a bit with a chance to double up if you guess the Fight of the Night.

And there's a 500 USD bonus if you pick everything right for the whole card.

I guess we'll see.

The City Kickboxing and Eugene Bareman gained a big reputation in a short period of time because of their training and the method of fighting which has more faints and movements and the legend is that the entire team is spending time shadow boxing faints as this is the least explored concept and Israel Adesanya is the front liner that showcased that.

And there's a 500 USD bonus if you pick every right for the whole card.

Will be joining in a couple of days, good to see a juicy bonus .

How to watch their past fights, no idea about these fighters and never watched them but i am interested to learn about them.

This seems like a new organization - FameMMA

I just saw it on Bitsler and their next event is just two weeks away. Obviously, I don't know anything about their fighters but you might still want to add as long as there's a bitcoin bookie listing it. There's probably a good number of people betting on this that we're not aware of.

One FC is on live rn.  You can stream it live at their YT channel.  The matches are surprisingly better than some of the ones at LFA and Bellator.  A couple of nice finishes...

One FC has been doing well in coming up with good cards. It's probably one of the very few organizations where fighters talks less. No fake rivalries whatsoever unlike UFC

Nope..  No bets.  I do not know these guys.  I saw FJ open lines for the event before this one tho.  This current event had no lines available.

Edit:  The champ had his nose broken like how Blachowicz broke Reyes' nose at UFC 253.

Edit:  He got the win tho.  It was a good fight.

I'm not familiar with most guys here other than the fighters of Team Lakay, the champs and their rivals.

I thought the champ was losing the match until that well timed knee. Damn! Good job of him defending on the ground where the challenger was said to be the most dangerous.

I wish this organization gets more exposure in more crypto sports bookies. Totally deserving.

I missed the fight, these are the fighters i need to study watching their past fight before placing a bet. Since you are watching the fights is there any special talent we need to look forward that has the potential to become champions.
Why Bellator is making fights on week days, i was looking forward the Corey Anderson fight as i was sure that he will be winning the fight because of his wrestling against Melvin Manhoef who is basically a striker and Corey Anderson dominated as expected but i wonder what the odds were for this fight.

This seems like a new organization - FameMMA

It is some new polish MMA organisation but it is below quality of better known and biggest polish mma KSW.
I will investigate more and think about adding it in future on the list.

Are you betting on this event? If so, what crypto sportsbook are you using?

I watched ONE championship before, but I didn't found any crypto bookies supporting it so far.
If anyone finds any crypto bookie with any MMA organisation other than UFC and Bellator, please post it here.


Bellator 251 is finished and Corey Anderson won with TKO like I predicted.
Great debut in Bellator!

All results:

[tokeweed]

^  It was a huge mismatch.  But I guess it was Bellator's way of promoting their new signing I guess.  Lol. 

Anderson wants Nemkov next.  That should be an interesting fight and I'm hoping the books go heavy on Anderson.  I'd like to have Nemkov as the underdog. 

[notblox1]

^ I think that I never saw Nemkov fight before so I can't judge, but there is still time to organize and promote that fight better

Next we have Bellator 252, on November 12

Main card
Patricio Pitbull Freire   vs.   Pedro Carvalho
Daniel Weichel   vs.   Emmanuel Sanchez
Yaroslav Amosov vs.   Logan Storley      
Emmanuel Sanchez vs. Daniel Weichel
      
Prelims
Aaron Pico   vs.   John de Jesus            
Roman Faraldo   vs.   Pat Casey            
Devin Powell   vs.   Manny Muro            
Jornel Lugo   vs.   Schyler Sootho            
Kara Lynn Hoad   vs.   Amanda Leve            
Keri Taylor-Melendez   vs.   Emilee King            
Gabriel Varga   vs.   Brandon Phillips            
Lucas Brennan   vs.   Andrew Salas

We have two unbeaten fighters Yaroslav Amosov (24-0) vs. Logan Storley (11-0), Pibul vs. Carvalho for Bellator featherweight title and grand prix quarterfinals. Interesting event so don't miss main card.

^  Nemkov is Fedor's protege.  He's good.  He could prolly make it at UFC LHW since it's really a pretty soft division rn.

Anyway..  One FC is live in a couple of minutes.  It's really surprising to see that it's more competitive than a lot of the Bellator match ups.

Former UFC guy John Lineker will be at the main event.

I just asked Bitsler if they could also open a line for OneFC. Support response seems positive but we'll see until the next event.

Yep and he's up against one of my favorite fighters from Team Lakay (Kevin Belingon) - a former champ too. He's fought some of the toughest dudes in the division like Bibiano Fernandes and Reece McLaren but let's see how he does against former UFC fighters.

edit/s while I watch:
Adiwang vs. Minowa - damn I didn't know how Minowa escaped that Kimura in R1!
Welp, ugly win for Winowa but it's the result that matters.

Looking forward for Geje Eustaquio (another from Team Lakay) - great striking match in first two rounds and nice scrambles in the third.

Tough loss on Kevin Belingon. I've never seen him getting beaten on striking. Good lesson to learn from.

Here are Bellator 252 results and expected Pitbull win in main event, and Logan Storley lost hid first fight in mma.
Patricio Freire said he is best in the world with this words ''I am not the best featherweight in Bellator, I am the best featherweight in the world''.

Main card
Patricio Pitbull Freire   vs.   Pedro Carvalho, KO
Daniel Weichel   vs.   Emmanuel Sanchez, Decision
Yaroslav Amosov vs.   Logan Storley, Decision    
Emmanuel Sanchez vs. Daniel Weichel, Decision
      
Prelims
Aaron Pico   vs.   John de Jesus, KO            
Roman Faraldo   vs.   Pat Casey, KO            
Devin Powell   vs.   Luis Muro, Decision            
Jornel Lugo   vs.   Schyler Sootho, Decision          
Keri Melendez   vs.   Emilee King, Submission            
Keri Taylor-Melendez   vs.   Emilee King, Submission            
Trevor Gudde   vs.   Khonry Gracie, TKO            
Lucas Brennan   vs.   Andrew Salas, Decision

I just asked Bitsler if they could also open a line for OneFC. Support response seems positive but we'll see until the next event.

Maybe we can ask Betnomi also to add more MMA events on their page.
I think they would be open for suggestions.

Former UFC guy John Lineker will be at the main event.   

One more ex UFC fighter and he won this time.

all fights/duels that will take place at ksw56 (2020-11-14) are now known
 
...

the main fight takes place between the polish opponents Michał Materla and the croatian Roberto Soldic

yesterday the ksw56 gala took place and in the main fight the polish fighter had no chance against his opponent Roberto Soldic, who won after 4:40 min in round 1 by knockout

[Bttzed03]

Another bookie that has lines for MMAs - https://adkinsbet.com/sportsbook/upcoming/overview

They have the contender series but no UFC (lol) but they got Bellator too and some unfamiliar fighting organizations (to me at least) like:
1. Oktagon
2. Russian Cagefighting
3. Invicta FC
4. Legacy FA
5. Brave CF

edit: they have the UFC events but it has its own tab (separate from "combat sports" "martial arts" that includes the list above).

[tokeweed]

^  Just checked.  They're lines are slightly more juiced than the likes of Nitrogen, Stake and FJ.  But they do have interesting options like horse racing and dog racing.  

Btw..  Weigh ins in a couple of hours.
