MMA talk - PFL, Bellator, KSW, ONE...

[TheNineClub]

Last MMA ONE championship event in 2020 COLLISION COURSE 2 is finished, you can watch full event video, and next event Unbreakable is planned for January 22, 2021:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWDEhQLL3SY

If you can't watch it all, try to watch short KO Edson Marques vs Raimond Magomedaliev, Brsail vs Russia/Dagestan, starting around 30 minute 

Not a bad one at all. Actually, Magomedaliev did Marques a favor by knocking him out so early because he was doing solid work on his leg, and by the looks of how Marques was defending those leg kicks, he would have his leg torn off by the end of the night. This was Marques first pro loss and an introduction to the big leagues. Let's see who they pair him up with next.

Well, this happened

I mean, this is a freakshow fight that is typical for organizations like KSW and Bellator, so I wasn't really interested, however, the fighters invested time and effort in this happening, so to bad they have to scrap this. Pudz should not accept any shot notice fight and just wait it out.

It looks like i have more catch up to do with other promotions as well, i only watch UFC and may be Bellator but if there are other interesting shows and if there are upcoming fighters that have the potential to be in the UFC one day i would like to know. The only problem i see is that i do not find many data available even to make a bet let alone videos available. If anyone can help me out in these regards it would be great.

Regarding the fights themselves, I would recommend you take a look at One championship, especially their upcoming ONE ON TNT I and the other TNT upcoming fights. As the organizations are getting bigger and more financially backed, there is less and less reason to lock at it as a potential for fighters who can transfer to the UFC, but as a great outlet to see what former UFC competitors can do in other organizations (Rory MacDonald, Demetrious Johnson, Eddie Alvarez, Paige Van Zant to name a few)

A bit late with this one, I thought someone would already post it Well, here are the results of this past KSW event. The Polish fighters had a really good night, only Stošić was able to get one on them. I guess they had some wind in their sails following Jan Błachowiczs title defense in UFC. There were no victories via submission this time, guess the Polish fighters prefer their stand-up.

One Championship is in my radar because i lost a few bets betting on fighters that went from UFC and then getting defeated like Eddie Alvarez and Sage Northcutt getting a brutal knockout and Demetrious Johnson who never had any real competition in the UFC got his hands full with two good opponents.

Rory MacDonald is in Bellator and i do follow them but i am yet to watch any PFL or KSW fights nor have any idea about their fighters.

Actually, Rory is in PFL as of late 2019, after he lost his Bellator belt to Lima. PFL has had a bit of an inactivity period due to the pandemic, but the is scheduled to fight on April 29 of this year against David Michaud. I honestly don't know anything about his opponent, but all the better, maybe it turns out to be a good fight.

Bellator 255 is starting in one day and it is going to be interesting with main event Patricio Freire vs Emmanuel Sanchez.
We have two more Khabib cousins Usman Nurmagomedov fighting against Mike Hamel, Magomed Magomedov vs Cee Jay Hamilton, and it will be nice event to watch as UFC is taking a break this week.
Other big news from Bellator is that Fedor Emelianenko will fight next and Junior Dos Santos or Alistair Overeem are next on the list.

Neiman is also someone to watch out for, 2 degree BJJ black belt from Renzo Gracie academy, his only loss came from Rory MacDonald, and there is no shame to that, Rory is a beast. Neiman is fairly inactive when it comes to BJJ, but that happens with a lot of BJJ competitors that try to do MMA and BJJ professionally at the same time. I always wanted to see someone from the Gracie clan and somebody from the Nurmagomedov clan go at it.

^  I heard Jason Jackson is pretty good too.  Dunno...  But he trains at Sanford MMA with Gilbert Burns, Michael Chandler and some other good guys under Henri Hooft.

The card has a lot of huge favorites that look parlayable.  Hmmm..

I didn't watch him so far, but he is originaly coming from Jamaica and has interesting nickcname The Ass-Kicking Machine
Neiman is slight favorite at bookmakers, he has only one defeat aso far and I see he is a submission specialist, so this should be interesting fight to watch.
Prelims are starting in few hours so get ready for watching.

I am a big fan of Patricio Freire and his fighting style and i do think that if he was in the UFC he would have been a much bigger super star and i will not bet against him and Usman Nurmagomedov is another talent the Khabib family is grooming.

Other big news from Bellator is that Fedor Emelianenko will fight next and Junior Dos Santos or Alistair Overeem are next on the list.

Fedor Emelianenko should have retired and never return, right now we are not even seeing the old legend who dominated everyone and age is a real factor and a match up against Junior Dos Santos will be awesome and i do think that JDS could knockout Fedor and retire him for good  .

Other match ups i am looking forward this week is OneFC where the Muay Thai legend Rodtang Jitmuangnon will be fighting and i would like to see his ground game and Eddie Alvarez is fighting but not sure about his opponent and Demetrious Johnson defending his belt.

[notblox1]

It was expected win in first round for Pitbull in Bellator main event with guillotine choke, and he could be fighting with A.J. McKee next for featherweight grand prix final.
Usman Nurmagomedov also won like we all got used to from all Khabib cousin fighters from Dageszan, Russia

MMA is back this weekend and one day before UFC we have big fight between Ryan Bader and Lyoto Machida in Bealltor 256 Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Tournament.
Ryan Bader is heavy favorite by bookmakers and I can't see Machida surprising him, especially coming from two loses and at his 42 years but last time in 2012 Machida was better and won.
Bader is younger and overall better fighter and I expect him to fight in semi-finals against Corey Anderson next who needs to defeat Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov on April 16th.

Current champion of division is Russian Vadim Nemkov who was better than Bader last time so we may see rematch in final if he wins Phil Davis and probably Yoel Romero next.

One more interesting fight is with ex UFC/PFL fighter Jeremy Kennedy and Hungarian Adam Borics who only have one lost fight so far in his MMA carrear.
Kennedy is slight favorite but I need to watch some Borics fights to know more about him.

The game plan of Ryan Bader is simple, wrestling take down and ground and pound and i have not seen a Lyoto Machida fight in a really long time and even i am hoping Ryan Bader to win this easily unless he gets caught by some nasty front kicks when he level changes for a take down  .

Current champion of division is Russian Vadim Nemkov who was better than Bader last time so we may see rematch in final if he wins Phil Davis and probably Yoel Romero next.

Surprisingly Bellator has a much better Light Heavy Weight division than the UFC as they have Phil Davis, Yoel Romero, Vadim Nemkov their champion and Ryan Bader and now Anthony Rumble Johnson

Does anybody know where we could stream the EFC live?  It’s Khabib’s promotion.  I thought it was gonna be in UFC Fight Pass but it isn’t.  I don’t think it’s gonna be in YT either.

These Russian dude look tough.  Tougher than the KSW guys.

Interesting news and I didn't know that Khabib became the boss now  
I bet Dana White will still work with him and bringing fighters to UFC directly from EFC, and it's no wonder if we see all Khabib cousins winning everywhere they fight including Bellator.
This will probably include all fighters from ex soviet union, and I am not sure about live stream but I think it will be available on some sport channels posted in image below.

ONE Championship is having their first event broadcasted today on American television network TNT 1 and this is their biggest event ever with big names like Demetrious Johnson fighting with Adriano Moraes for Flyweight Championship.
Second big name is ex UFC fighter Eddie Alvarez fighting against Iuri Lapicus in Lightweight category.
I found this event on Betnomi website and both Eddie Alvarez and Demetrious Johnson are big favorites but keep in mind that Brazillian Adriano Moraes is current Flyweight champion in ONE.

How was it?  I wasn’t able to watch it.  And I’m guessing most matches were wrestling heavy kinda like the UFC back in the day, around 10 years ago with fighters based in the US..?  It’s turning out that Russian wrestlers are pretty good too.

I didn't watch all the fights but I liked what I saw and it all looks similar like UFC but in Russian, there was even some crowd in the arena.
Artur Guseinov vs Brazillian Marcio Santos was most interesting fight for me and there was atleast one or more Nurmagomedov students fighting in this event.
You can check their youtube channel were they uploaded most of the fights I think:
