hahaha I am just upset from my loss, and looking at him, I mean her she sure looks like a transwoman, not criticizing all transgenders, I respect them all, it's just an excuse for me for losing a bet but still congrats to her performance, it was a dominating performance per se, she even think twice in getting a submission but instead done a ground and pound on her opponent, but if she is using some gender modification substance I think this win is surely not credited as a win,

I know I know But still not nice to say something like that. I bet many of us if we go into the ring we will be accused of looking and acting like girls,,, the smallest girl in lowest weight category probably KO me in 1 second  

You just need to familiarize yourself with all of the sites you will need and if you don't have knowledge about a certain fighter just research and look up what style the fighter is using watch some highlights, was some training, and look at the fighter stats will surely help you a lot, at first you would simply not have any knowledge on some terms or fighter but given some good and informative site will likely get to you advantage,

The Israel Adesanya fight will have to wait and it doesn't mean that Pereira defeated Strickland that is number 4 on the ranking will now likely have a title fight match, Alex Pereira will need to climb up a ladder, to face Issy, and for Khamzat Chimaev Is in the Welterweight Division by challenging Alex Pereira he would need to go up a division and that is the Middleweight division, surely that will be a great fight t watch but also it is not yet verified if a fight will surely progress,

The problem is not there is not any sites but there is too many sites and some of it seems to be just totally opinion and opposing to each other. It is sports so of course that is the way but feels much easier to read up about baseball and tennis which I also do not know about,,, MMA feels very much different.

Any idea when the next match is going to be announced? Also no info from sites about this

Just follow https://www.ufc.com/events and you will be up-to-date with most interesting Or check https://www.tapology.com/ from time to time to see what is going on in MMA (or a similar https://www.sherdog.com/). These three ages will be enough.

It is no use to follow lots of sites. Most of them post fake news or rumours or inflate big fights from nothing. It will be enough to follow top fighters twitter accounts to follow who trashtalks and wants to fight, just to know what is all drama is about. But only match makers and money decide who will fight who.

Yup! I know it is not nice, but I have said it already, and it will never be taken away, but still respect both fighters Larissa Pacheco getting the W was really awesome, and Genah Fabian even though she lost it was really a great fight aswell, maybe I am just carried away by the situation, but still I will not take back what I have said, and I am saying what I have to think of her, but still further test and I think we can know if she is clean of not from that hormone drugs because they can never use those and competing with someone that don't have genes of a man, I think it is illegal to sports and mostly combat sports like this,

Well, you can always get 2nd opinion from the first news you have read, if multiple the article would have the same opinion then I think that will be the truth, but surely you will need to gather information first, and a great way in gathering information is to ask, surely MMA is much more different other combat sports, that is why it is called Mixed Martial Arts, anyone is allowed to used whatever kind of technique of style you used in combat it is surely allowed, but apply some rules in boxing then MMA is born, and I have said any kind of style and martial art, from Wu-Shu, Kung Fu, Taekwondo or a mixed from a variety of Martial arts you want you can surely used it, and there is no limit in learning martial arts,

I think Harrison and the UFC had something lined up for Amada Nunes right before Nunes' championship rematch vs Pena.  If she had won that, Harrison would fight Nunes in a cross league deal thingy or whatever you guys call it.  Harrison was there with the audience during the Nunes - Pena match, all ready for the UFC's dog and pony show had Nunes won.

I don't think this was UFC because Dana White doesn't like any cross promotional fights, but I want to see fight like this.
What I heard few months ago is that Bellator and PFL worked on some cross promotion, it was connected with Fedor Emelianenko last fight I think.
Problem with cross promotion fights is that it would be considered as exibition fights unless some joined organization is created.

Sherdog + Tapology is new for me thank you

Yes, it will be considered as an exhibition match, and I am wondering where did tokeweed get the news, I haven't seen any when I googled it up, but I have seen a video that Dana White was saying to stay where she is, she can surely fight all the woman on PFL, but going on the UFC she will have a bigger problem, well, this was last year but maybe there might be a new update for this and Dana White will let Harrison to step foot on the UFC and fight a decent fight of her life,

Well, those sites help me a lot in posting here in the forum, you can never miss an event anymore, and I think google could also be a source for good news but it could also get bad news and fake news so I think caution is needed always seek a second site for comparison, but if it is not trusted then it is still better to ignore it, and wait for official sites that you trusted,

Social media can sometimes be very bad if you don't know how to handle it, always be prepared or ready for the following negativity that you may read, but it can also have positive ones that are really informative, well I am using social media but I really don't believe in some article that I see there, youtube can also be a great source if your having doubts with your picks or who to bet you can always check up the fighters highlights watch their recent fights,

Twitter and social media not for me. Some small bad experience and recovering,,, I lost a lot of my life to social media  

I use social media and mostly twitter to find out why on press conference or during stare downs fighters act weird or are so pissed of. For example in UFC, to heat up crown before he fight, fighters start from calling others for a fight or doubting in their fighting skills. Dont count it as a real serious source of info, this is more like a bonus to hype around.

I suggest to create a twitter account, find some popular fighters, follow them and fighters they follow. Sometimes it is more fun to watch two adults throwing poop on each other during months, then watch one of them being KOed in first round

[TheNineClub]

I personally stick to Bloodyelbow for anything regarding fight news, I never got hooked on Twitter, but I have a friend who swears by it regarding fighter altercations, hot takes after fights, and the fastest news you will find anywhere if you follow MMA journalists. So there are pros and cons definitely, but it's a sewer of shit you have to go through to get to the good stuff XD

I didn't follow Bloodyelbow until but I bookmarked it now, for MMA news MMAjunkie is one of the best websites and they have very good youtube channel that is sometimes better than official UFC channel.
There are other news sources but MMAjunkie is usually fastest and sometimes they have exclusive insider news.

Now it's break time for most MMA organizations, but one of them is starting tomorrow, that is LFA 135 Leyva vs. Reis.
This is nice little warm-up for UFC event that is starting this weekend, and you can watch it if you purchased UFC package.

I am doing that aswell to my social media accounts but maybe leea-1334 has a bad experience in using social media, for me, I think to create a new account and be unanimous this time, so even if someone would bash you online, or say something or commented hurtful things all you need to do is ignore, and from that because Social media is really a good source of news and even though it is rumors, I think it is a good topic for the community, and you can also ask or talk to the community and I think there will be many members that will surely engage, you with what they think,

It was on round 2 when Alfonso Leyva Steamrolled Daniel Reis with Elbows and got Reis on the ground overpowering him to get to top position and a barrage into his ground and pound mode, Leyva was so powerful and is still undefeated right now, now gaining the rank that he deserves he will eventually get what he truly wants, MMA world is on a break but tomorrow will be the event on UFC, but I am not really interested with all the events there but will be posting what I think may happen in the fight and what is my picks, for the UFC Fight Night: Dos Anjos vs. Fiziev,

[Sarah Azhari]

This is the match we've been waiting for. I know it seems impossible to happen, but if both argue with each other in the ring as trainers, so we will see them fistfight beside his boxer training and continue in the next is necessary to keep his name.

Well, I am not really waiting for it, but there are many fans that are still curious in seeing what may happen in their fight, but for me, I could see which will dominate and that is not Tony Ferguson, even though Khabib Nurmagomenodov is early retired, and Tony Ferguson keeps on fighting, there is no chance for him to beat Khabib Nurmagomedov, in a wrestling match,

Many people are curious because 5 times canceled, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020. if fight happens this year I'm sure there will be many sponsors and if not happen in the near future, they will be too old to continue the showtime.

Not so much bad experience just I realized it wasted a lot of my time and actually was not so helpful in finding out actual information,,, but specifically to crypto it even made me waste a lot of money, stress, time, no positive gains just a lot of wasted time. Since leaving social media my work life and personal improved a lot. I used to spend hours surfing and then got little sleep 

Thank you everyone for answering my questions of course.

I do not find that kind of thing entertaining,,, there is even more nonsense maybe for football which I watch and follow but the most I do is watch some viral meme sometimes if it is really funny or someone I like. I guess I see the team more than the individual but of course for MMA it is way different. I wonder if there are clicks that fighters are part of?

You got your point. My point was - for example the roots of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor conflict has started in twitter; from Artem Lobov posting shit about Khabib and Co. All the trash that McGregor was punished for has started in twitter. It was not because two fighters gonna fight and both showed on cameras how they hate each other. As MMA and UFC is more about entertainment, trash and promotion then fights, following fighters twitter accounts is like an addition to sport. Like a "directors cut" or "extra scenes" on DVD with a movie, if we draw parallels between MMA and movies.

Lol I'll never forget with McGregor trash talk to Khabib during their hype before the fight, McGregor even making a joke about Khabib's father who have been passed away, it doesn't good to make a joke for a person who passed away, but if you view in different perspective it's actually funny. McGregor even met Khabib on Las Vegas and become a friend, even it's doesn't last longer.

However McGregor is already become more good person after his lose against Khabib, I think he already learn and built his good character to become better person.

I think this fight was clash of two opposite thinking-living, and UFC with Dana White just used their argument to pump it and promote it like crazy, earning a lot of money for all participants.
Both Khabib and McGregor truly disliked each other but it grow into big hate in later stages, but Khabib showed to be a bigger man, he retired on top and he kept respect from all MMA community.
McGregor is now just washed away average fighter that only earns money from fights only based on fights before Khabib, he has no more passion and he looks slower and weaker.

However McGregor is already become more good person after his lose against Khabib, I think he already learn and built his good character to become better person.

No he didn't become any better, drinking all the time he is the same lowlife like before, but nobody cares about him anymore.
There are some talks he is directly connected with mafia cartel in Ireland, and he made some stupid tweets when Khabib was introduced in UFC Hall of Fame.

I like this analogy  Someone told me also if you watch the kickboxing fights in our neighboring countries, the fights themselves last 10 to 15 minutes each, and that's half of that avoiding and moving around. But the 1-2 hours before is all about extended version, smaller fights non official, and both supporters talking shit and getting drunk!

So I get it

No he didn't become any better, drinking all the time he is the same lowlife like before, but nobody cares about him anymore.

I think the Irish cartel thing is farfetched,,, basically anyone who made it out of some countries generations ago (Italy, Ireland, Hong Kong are some examples) of course have someone in the family who paid cartel services to help them move. It does not make them linked.

Anyway, I also think he has become 'nicer' than before, but that is my new impression!

Your post is totally wrong my friend

McGregor made jokes about Khabibs father, while he was still alive. But when Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov passed away from covid, McGregor has send his condolences. McGregor made fun not only of Khabibs father, but also his wife. Because Muslim women cover their faces, he has told that Khabib is married to a blanket or a rug. He has even made fun out of Muslim nation...

Khabib and McGregor were never friends. When Khabib only joined UFC and McGregor was already a star there, Khabib made a picture with Conor. That is it.

Dont know where you have noticed McGregor becoming a good person. He is always using trashtalk to get into opponents head. Cant say that he is a bad person either. This is just business

[tokeweed]

^  I remember there was a time when McGregor was still doing well at 145, he was somewhat all praise for Khabib who was just a prospect at the time.  He even predicted that Khabib would become a champ at 155 one day, which he did.  But little did we know it was going to be those two having a bitter rivalry.  And that's an understatement.  It's an all out war between those two camps until now.

Anyway here are a couple of events outside the UFC that could be worth keeping an eye on.

ONE Championship 159:  De Ridder vs. Bigdash

Nicer?! Anyone can pretend to be nice.
Check out his twitter account and all the stupid things he is saying all the time when he gets drunk or on drugs.
Back to his fighting skills, he lost most of his recent fights, except win against washed up old Donald Cerrone who has even worse record and he is now retired.

This is just business

I never saw any other 'businessman' in MMA that is disrespecting other human being and all of his family members, dead and alive.
I don't know if he is good or bad, but I know he acts like lowlife drunk junky all the time.

Interesting all Brazillian LFA 136 event Rio de Janeiro vs São Paulo is starting in few days, and maybe some new youngfighter will appear.
If you have UFC Fight Pass you can watch this event live.

Haha ya ok I took a quick look and he writes like a teenager who wants attention,,, but I bet you most of those tweets are not even done by himself but by his social account manager. That is how it works these days right?

Still, I would like to see him get one more big fight, maybe with different rules like last man standing submission/KO only. Do they have such events?
