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

[bittraffic]

Another great Combat Fighting Sports are Bellator which will have its event this week

I am not very much excited about this Bellator event, not big names but I see fighters have good records so we might see some interesting fights and surprises.
Similar case is in this week UFC event, but we can't have big flashy events all the time so I am ok with that.
Maybe boxing fight between Jake Paul and Anderson Silva will get more attention from people and mma fans, including me. 🥊

Though we're fans of MMA I also don't see Silva not winning against the built of Jake. I'm thinking Silva can't stand it when he is cornered. Even if he can block the coming strike, Jake will break him.  Yep, this event will grab the audience of the Bellator seeing no familiar names on the cards. If something big happens in Bellator, we could just watch the replay of it.

This is boxing and Jake Paul proven already that he has skill to win fights, and I had my doubts about him when he started doing this.
He has only five professional boxing fights with four KO wins, but he is much younger than Anderson Silva.
Good news that both fighters  made their weights for main event so we have this fight officially confirmed now, so let's get ready to rummmble. 🥊
There is one more UFC fighter on this fight card Uriah Hall who is fighting against Le'Veon Bell, so it's going to be intersting to watch his first boxing fight.

it's time again for the next ksw event in poland
this time on november 12th the fight for the ksw lightweight champion bout will take place between the reigning champion Salahdine Parnasse (france 8-1-0) and the polish cage fighter Sebastian Rajewski (4-2-0)
more interesting fights you can see in the graphic below

I just learned that Fabian Edwards that is fighting in upcoming Bellator 287 event Piccolotti vs Barnaoui, is actually younger brother of better known UFC fighter Leon Edwards.
Fabian Edwards is fighting in Middleweight category and he is two years younger than Leon who is currently fighting in Welterweight division.
This makes his next co-main event fight against Charlie Ward much more interesting to watch tomorrow.
Weight-ins are availaable next, and Bellator is broadcasting Prelims live and free on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkEQq6lO1oI

After you have said it, I suddenly looked at the picture of Fabian Edwards and the striking resemblance was really there, but surely the skill was really far from that of Leon, but looking at his fight with the Legendary Lyoto Machida, Lyoto Machida really needs to settle down his gloves but Fabian Edwards might be a solid striker, and surely Fabian has a solid record in the Bellator and looking forward if he can win against Charlie Ward,

Yup! Uriah Hall is fighting as well, maybe he wants better pay for this match, or he really loves boxing just like Anderson Silva, and right now he will be making his debut in boxing against Le'Veon Bell, right now against his opponent I think Uriah can win this one, and the Spider can make Jake Paul bleed, I really want that to happen, but this is the MMA thread and that Jake Paul VS Anderson Silva fight will be having a boxing rule format,

What do you mean his skills are far from his brother Leon Edwards?
Fabian has great MMA record and he lost only two times against Vanderford and van Steenis; his brother Leon lost three times in his carrier.
It's normal he has less fights because he is younger and his style and category are different, but he was ranked top two fighter in Middleweight category before his last fight.
UFC would be very happy to sign this guy.

Well, I am just saying because Leon Edwards was on the UFC, and we all know the level of competition, Than with Bellator, and I am not comparing their Records either anyway Fabian Edwards is really younger than Leon Edwards and could also become the Middleweight Champion someday, but I think at the end of the day we can not really compare the two because they are different and have different styles, Leon Edwards has a confirmed black belt in  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while Fabian Edwards does not, but at the end of the day I think there is no need in comparing the two,


Well this Coming November 3, we will be having the Ares FC 9: Lapilus vs. Ayoub 2 and it will be broadcast on UFC Fight Pass I know I really don't know most of the fighters here, but it is good to explore some combat fighting sports that I think might have future success, and right now is broadcast into UFC fight pass,

This week we will have LFA146 event, this is the second semi final in featherweight division between Marcio Barbosa vs Gabriel Santos. Gabriel Santos is a rising star who's a young fighter and have undefeated record, Marcio Barbosa is a big challenge for him.

Only fighters from Brazil in this fight card, that could be interesting for locals in São Paulo but I am not sure people around the world want to see this.
Cage warriors could be more interesting to watch, with fighters from many countries and that main event looks interesting, but I have to admit that I am not familiar with most of the fighters.
PFL MMA looks very inactive, I can't remember last time they had event, and next one will be in one month.

[YuginKadoya]

Ares FC 9: Lapilus vs. Ayoub 2 is commencing tomorrow, and here are my picks I am just basing on each fighter's stats, this is my first time trying out if I got a keen eye for certain fighters by just looking them at the paper,

MAIN EVENT
Damien Lapilus VS Amin Ayoub

This is the 2nd time these two would fight, and in the 1st match Damien Lapilus won with a doctor stoppage in round 2, for me both fighters can end the fight standing or on the ground but Damien Lapilus might have a much stronger power than Ayoub, his fight with Leandro Rodrigues, have declared a win with a medical stoppage so he has done something with those heavy punches, so my pick will be Damien Lapilus,

CO-MAIN EVENT
Robert Valentin VS Pietro Penini

Robert Valentin could have the power, for me, this could end with a rear naked choke or a guillotine choke, or even an old fashion ground and pound, this is what I see may happen with this fight, for sure, my pick is Robert Valentin,

PRELIMINARY CARD
Soslan Gagloev VS Pavlos Ntatidis

For me this kid even though he got 2 lost as an amateur he sure proves that his professional record will be sensational while Pavlos Ntatidis, really has some experience I think the Russian kid got heart and surely he needs losses to put himself to victory, that is why my pick is Soslan Gagloev,

[notblox1]

I am not watching many LFA events in MMA but I might start doing this after I heard they signed a contract with Aline Pereira, sister of UFC 281 title challenger Alex Pereira.
Maybe it's in their family blood to have good fighters, but I see she was doing kickboxing pro fighting for few years and she had mixed results.
Her first fight in LFA is going to be against Helen Peralta in about two weeks in LFA 147 Melo vs Costa.

I have seen her, fight, and man this is Alex Pereira's little sister she fights like his brother, I thought I was watching Alex Fighting, She made easy work on Crystal Lawson it was a one-sided win, and just like Alex Pereira she is still hungry for more fights, and I think she will do great in the LFA and a great addition with the woman division, of the LFA.

Now, here is the result of the Ares FC 9 fight, and the only win I got was on the preliminary card,

MAIN EVENT
Damien Lapilus VS Amin Ayoub ROUND 5 - ENDS IN A DRAW - LOST

I really never expected a DRAW for this fight, for me Damien Lapilus won this fight it was a robbery this is why I never trusted ending a fight in a decision, they should try and give their all to knock out their opponent,

CO-MAIN EVENT
Robert Valentin VS Pietro Penini ROUND 3 - NO CONTEST - LOST

Likely a sad ending for this fight, remind me of not having a bet for Ares again, but yeah it was really not a great thing to happen and I would not want to discuss it here because I am upset about what happened with the fight,

PRELIMINARY CARD
Soslan Gagloev VS Pavlos Ntatidis ROUND 1 - KO/TKO - WIN

1st round submission this kid is really remarkable, and I surely am not wrong about what I have seen on the paper on him, but surely it was really a risk in betting for Ares FC and this is my 1st time doing it, but I think it was really a great experience in doing so,

After Cage Warriors 145 ended, we will have another Cage Warriors event in this Saturday at Bec Arena, Manchester. This fight the main event is Christian Duncan will risk his belt to fight against Marian Dimitrov. IMO there's no chance for Dimitrov to beat Duncan since Dimitrov haven't fight after 3 years which his skill might not be same at it was.

My all attention for this week in MMA will be focused mostly on mega fight in UFC Adesanya vs Pereira, and I would watch other MMA events if they broadcast them earlier.
Both Cage Warriors 146 and KSW 76 are starting the same day as UFC so I am not sure if I will be able to watch anything else.
Exact time for Cage Warriors 146 Saturday 11.12.2022 at 01:00 PM ET, for KSW76 is exact same time, and UFC is starting only few hours later at 06:00 PM ET.

Yeah, maybe I will just watch couple of the main event on Cage Warriors 146 and KSW 76 since all of my bet on UFC 281. Usually I just watch the replay when I don't have free time or busy, especially when the fight is goes to distance, I don't really like when the match only end for one round. Because it's one sided and the opponent is really weak for getting KO'ed at early round.

Like you, I am more Focus on the Main Event of the UFC because all answers and doubts will surely be answered from that fight, and in actuality, the odds were so close this time to some of Israel Adesanya's past fights, so I am not really posting any other MMA events this time, I am more focus now on UFC 281 and it will be an epic of a fight? perhaps for some if Israel Adesanya did win for them it will be a boring fight, and if Alex Pereira would win this then it will be a KO/TKO that is what I am seeing here, but for me, I am more looking at the technicality of the fight not because someone can KO/TKO or just win over his opponent, I am more on the technicality of things and I am still siding with Israel Adesanya, and will not be getting to another boat, or not just because the other knockout the other in the past doesn't mean that history will repeat itself,

Yeah, maybe I will just watch couple of the main event on Cage Warriors 146 and KSW 76 since all of my bet on UFC 281.

Because it's one sided and the opponent is really weak for getting KO'ed at early round.

I am doing the same thing, Watching it on replays and sometimes analyzing some details of the fight well in this Cage Warriors 146 event there are so many canceled fights and switch fights because of fighters pulling out from the event because of some reason, but overall I will look forward on the Main event Christian Leroy Duncan, Adam Cullen, and Luke Riley,  are the once I am rooting right now and looking forward if they can still manage to stay undefeated in Cage Warriors,

It's time to get back on other MMA events now that amazing UFC 281 is finished.
Bellator 288 is starting in few days with amazing fight card, main event is Vadim Nemkov vs Corey Anderson, and co-main event is Patricky Pitbull vs Usman Nurmagomedov.
This is two title fights in Light Heavyweight and Lightweight categories worth watching, and we have Kbabib's cousin Usman as extra motivation to watch.

It's very busy midweek calendar for MMA and I don't always watch Invicta events but this one could be interesting to check out as this is tournament style.
Maybe some of this girls will shine today, get noticed by Dana White and sign contracts with UFC.



ONE Championship have two events starting in few days, and both of them are being held in Singapore Indoor Stadium.
ONE 163 Akimoto vs. Petchtanong will be broadcasted on youtube, and Abbasov vs Lee will be shown on Amazon Prime.
If you like kickboxing than watch Akimoto vs Petchtanong and Kryklya vs Azizpour in One 163, and on Prime you can watch more MMA and muai thai fights.
There are not many familiar MMA faces but this is good way to prepare for UFC event this weekend.

This is an interesting event for me the Main event is just OK Vadim Nemkov is a decent fighter, but recently lost to Jiří Procházka on Rizin, and have decent wrestling now, that Accidental head clash was really a bummer on their 1st fight but they it really happens and ended the fight with no contest, but right now I think Vadim Nemkov is stronger than before this is an interesting OK main event,

But the fight that I am waiting for was the fight between Patricky Pitbull and the undefeated Usman Nurmagomedov I will be rooting for Nurmagomedov for sure,


Well, Bellator was my 2nd MMA combat sport that most UFC has been trying their luck for the belt, and I have a lot of well-known fighters on Bellator so it is easy for me to pick, without hustling up to search for that fighter, and for me after UFC, Bellator has provided me good winnings with my picks recently,
