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

[notblox1]

Bobby Seronio is not much more experienced, but he had more amateur matches and he didn't lose any fights so far.
I wouldn't bet on this fight at all, but I like this this event overall and as for underdog pick I would chose Jeremy Kennedy to surprise against Aaron Pico.

Congratulations to me for correctly predicting big underdog win 

in 11 days the 75th ksw event will take place.
the 9 fights are fixed and there will again be a fight for the belt in light heavyweight
the champion from turkey Ibragim Chuzhigaev will fight against the croatian cage fighter Ivan Erslan

There is lot of time until this event starts, but when you mentioned croatian fighter Erslan, I saw other fighter from Croatia Roberto Soldic Robocop signed a contract with ONE FC.
He came from KSW and he was champion in Middleweight category, but I think ONE is offering better money and stronger opponents.
His first ONE FC fight is scheduled for December 2 against russian fighter Murad Ramazanov!

What I like about KSW events, that I see a lot of heavy guys in every event. And most important, a lot of new faces all the time. Either KSW dont have USADA analogue, or Eastern European cuisine is specific and stimulates people to grow

I like KSW for their fighter's imperfect techniques. I like how guys throws punches sweepingly and if they connect, they connect with a KO

Just correction is not KWS but KSW

I'm just curious where they got spar, most of them are from Eastern European. I know what happens there, the conflict between Rusia and Ukraine is maybe affected practice and spar. Bohdan Gnidko from Ukraine is the fastest KO in KSW history, I respect to him.

Next 9 days we will see 144th LFA event

The main event is Muin Gafurov vs Diego Silva for LFA Vacant Bantamweight Championship, the co main event is Jordan Heiderman vs Daiqwon Buckley.

Honestly I'm more interested to watch Heiderman vs Buckley since Heiderman is a ground fighter and how he can subs a big fighter like Buckley. I don't think it's easy to subs someone who have a big body because your reach might not enough to hold his body.

I dont think that Russia-Ukraine war really affect their sparring or preparation, as they (for example Bohdan Gnidko) dont train in their homeland. If we talk exactly about Gnidko, then he only competes under Ukraine flag, but has multiple training camps all around the world. For example to practice striking, fighters go to Thailand for couple of months. Or they can train easily train in their own gym. You just need to train reflexes and know how to defend from bjj/wrestling attacks. You dont need to train with Royce Gracie to know all that.

P.S. The war between Ukraine-Russia does not mean that it happens 24/7 on all Ukraine territory. All the bloody and scary crap happens on territory that borders with Russia, the opposite territory of that is peaceful.

Congratulations to me for correctly predicting big underdog win  

Well, congrats to you for making correct predictions on the underdog, but I really don't recommend underdogs sometimes if they don't prove much, you would just waste money on them, but if you see an underdog that can prove anything is possible, and is good in paper, then go with underdogs you can surely accumulate a large amount of money,

Anyone who purchased UFC package could watch upcoming Cage Warriors 144 with main event Wooding vs Martignoni.
I didn't watch much of Cage Warriors fights but this week there are no Bellator or UFC events so this could be interesting card.
They have some contract with UFC so it's possible Dana White will watch this fights with one eye, for potential new fighters he could sign.

Just Because the LFA 144 and KSW 75 are going to be next week October 14, I will have a quick pick of the Cage Warriors match and eyeing making a good pick on it aswell,

Cage Warriors 144: Wooding vs. Martignoni


Dominique Wooding VS Michele Martignoni

There are no booked fights on stake for Cage Warriors, so I will be judging each fighter by their technique and skills, Well for me Dominique Wooding could have a slight reach advantage, and pretty much so far in cage warriors his record shows no decision wins but KO/TKO wins only but he has 4 losses, while Michele Martignoni, for me Michele Martignoni has some stuff going on in the ground, so submission is his turf, but Wooding has a good takedown defense so my pick will be Dominique Wooding,

Carlo Pedersoli VS Madars Fleminas

For this match, I would go with the well-rounded fighter the young athletes in my opinion had a bright future, and 13 wins is surely a great deal while Fleminas has 10 wins, but has a great impression that this guy will win but for me, my pick is Carlo Pedersoli,

Jasmine Favero VS Awa Sow

I have seen a fighting kitten on cage warriors and this is Jasmine Favero, I think she got more experience because of her Amateur fights so my pick will be her,

[notblox1]

Just Because the LFA 144 and KSW 75 are going to be next week October 14, I will have a quick pick of the Cage Warriors match and eyeing making a good pick on it aswell

For anyone who didn't know, ex UFC fighter Alistair Overeem switched to kickboxing and he signed a contract Glory Kickboxing.
He is now 42 years old but still kicking and fighting today in Glory Collision 4 with Badr Hari.
Prelims will be live on their youtube channel, and I watched few parts from press conference and I saw Overeeem gained some weight and changed his haircut
Just look at his face and arms at 35:37 minute, he is huge!

WOW! I really don't know why he switches back to kickboxing again and this time to settle the score with  Badr Hari, he looks like a massive wreak-it-ralph character, and that 3rd fight with Badr Hari was really a great match the fight has gone the distance and it was a decision win for Alistair Overeem, I think Alistair Overeem was very effective in this fight because of his Blitz it was the same with the Demsey Roll but it was a forwarding strike but in Overeem's case he incorporates some flying knee with it when he goes forward, that is why he becomes a devastating opponent inside the ring,


Now here are my Cage Warriors 144: Wooding vs. Martignoni results,

Dominique Wooding VS Michele Martignoni ROUND 5 DESICION - LOST

1st round was really for Wooding but in the 2nd round Martignoni had found an opening in countering Wooding with grappling and it was a relentless grappling that Martignoni did to Wooding, pressuring Wooding to the ground so the people know who the judges scored the most and the new Bantamweight Champion Michele Martignoni, won over Dominique Wooding,

Carlo Pedersoli VS Madars Fleminas ROUNDS 2 SUBMISSION - WIN

It was fun watch this fight Carlo Pedersoli was really hoping for an opportunity, over Madars Fleminas and he surely knows that Fleminas is a great Striker, so when he saw an opportunity in round 2 he grab that and take him via rare-naked choke

Jasmine Favero VS Awa Sow ROUND 1 SUBMISSION - WIN

This girl is truly amazing jasmine Favero is the real deal a real fighting kitten that when she saw an opportunity does it and make the win, over Awa Sow,

[notblox1]

WOW! I really don't know why he switches back to kickboxing again

One reason is money, but I dont know how much he is going to earn.
They offered him good deal he couldn't refuse, and Glory Kickboxing is one of the best promotions in that sport.
And his decision proved good because he won this fight against Badr Hari with unanimous decision.

I’m seeing rumors that Connor McGregor has announced his next opponent and the date of their fight. Is there any truth to this? I’ll admit I was hoping that he’d get a bigger name but it should still be a good fight (if the rumored details are to be believed). Hopefully this leads to another run at the title for him. It’s been too long since he’s had a good win.

I don't find any official statement about it, I've read on few articles said McGregor will not fight until 2023 since he's currently focus to cast Road House Remake for the upcoming 2023. So there's no way for McGregor will fight when he's still become an actor.

I think if McGregor will back to UFC in the next year, he either fight either Dustin Poirier for the trilogy or challenge Jorge Masvidal which is on Welterweight division.

Connor is heavier now, Masvidal is likely.  Its going to be a big event for him although he isn't the kind who will win in heavier division. Dana suggested Michael Chandler for his next fight by the end of this year or early next.

Or the better option for him is just the  McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather Jr in boxing again. This is way profitable for him than the UFC.

And his decision proved good because he won this fight against Badr Hari with unanimous decision.

I think he surely made the right decision, and he is looking good in that fight he looks buff and menacing, and his opponent Badr Hari doesn't really stand a chance against him because he looks bulky and menacing his blitz has a greater impact on his opponent, and it seems that his opponent's shots aren't effective in him because of his buff body, surely 1st round in my opinion was for Bahr Hari but Alistair Overeem have shown that he is still the real deal,

I think it is on the horizon and I have read an article that it might be Justin Gaethje in the Welterweight division the said return will be in early 2023, after his last fight injury, which means both fighters will need to bulk up to attain the said requirements for they Welterweight division, for me Justin Gaethje will be on the advantage regarding his fight IQ, but we haven't seen if McGregor has a new style in his sleeves,

This is a subject for UFC topic, and we are talking about all other MMA competitions except UFC in this topic Bellator, KSW, PFL, ONE...
I don't care about McGregor, and he is just a shadow of former fighter, after Khabib put him in his right place.
Now he is good only for promoting alcohol and fights with some low level fighters.

Jasmine Favero VS Awa Sow ROUND 1 SUBMISSION - WIN

This girl is truly amazing jasmine Favero is the real deal a real fighting kitten that when she saw an opportunity does it and make the win, over Awa Sow,

when I look at her stat is 2-0-0 with 2 wins, I really think before look the stat she is a senior player in MMA pro, and may have played many fights. She looks a potential player in future and looks a bit pretty to fight in the ring. Now, she (the bull) growing up to top #18 rank Europe Western Women's Pound for Pound, and I believe doesn't need much time to growing in top 10.

Thanks for the information. Alistair Overeem somehow disappeared from my radar. I thought he has finished his career, after he his UFC contract finished.

Overeem and Badr Hari were always rivals. Their original story is - Badr Hari called UFC fighters pussies and told that they are trash in real combat action sport. Overeem has stopped MMA training for a while and concentrated on kickboxing to kick Hari's ass. He did that in 2008 and won K1 trophy. Later they had a rematch and Hari won. In their third fight in October 8 2022, Overeem won by UD and Badr Hari finished his career after that fight.

Overeem is huge again, because there is no USADA in Glory

Jasmine Favero is a beauty, because of the amateur fights she surely has an edge over Awa Sow, while Sow only has 3 fights 2 are losses, she is no match against Jasmine Favero, but surely we don't expect to a girl fight to be that extreme, it was a one-sided fight but the match has ended in a decision and Jasmine Favero won the fight, for me she is a fighting kitty in the Cage Warriors,


Right now maybe two to three days prior to the time we will be having the MMA fight we want to, and that is KSW 75 and LFA 144, will be giving my pick for this fight and I really want to hear some of your guy's opinion what do you think and those do you think will win in the said 2 events, main-event for KSW are Robert Ruchała VS Damian Stasiak fight while LFA 144 Muin Gafurov VS Diego Silva I would surely get my picks on some of the fights in that said event, so I have so much to tackle and research, on what to do,

[notblox1]

Overeem is huge again, because there is no USADA in Glory

Yeah but they have different categories and I think he is top heavyweight kickboxer now.
I watched his post fight interview and he challenged the current champion Rico Verhoeven for the title fight, but it looked like WWE promotion to me
He said that he would beat him easy in street fighting, but he wanted to say in MMA, so maybe next year Overeem could be a kickboxing champion.
