^  The thing with competitive sports is, it has become a huge business with athletes getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars in the whole duration of their careers and we still think that these athletes are 'clean'?  I think the lot of them are not.  Take cycling, everybody thought Lance Armstrong was this role model, but no...  Got caught for doping.  So it's just a matter of getting caught.  Does everybody really think the fighters in the UFC, Bellator and these other organizations are clean?  Lol.

But tbh, I don't really care.  I just want to watch these guys throw leather.  If anything, I think it should be regulated.

Of course we longer have sport, but have pharmacology companies competing among each others Tbh, I also care little, but fighters should be informed that their opponent isnt clean enough, so that they should not struggle cleaning also Pharma vs pharma seems fair to me In the end, both of the fighters enter octagon or ring to finish the opponent.

But what I dont like in competitive sport is weight cutting. If you like to eat and is getting bulky easy, stay in a proper weight division. Cutting 5-15kg before the fight, just to get back to being huge in next 24h is cheating.

My social media is now full of "Bellator is now on sale, and PFL is the possible buyer" rumours. What do you think about that? Is it possible that these two promotions gonna merge? This is not the first time I hear about Bellator being on sale or have problems with financing.

It it possible that owners of Bellator that is Paramount Global wants to sell their business and they are looking to find a buyer.
First it was UFC in speculations, but Dana White denied that and said they will never buy Bellator, now next on the line is PFL because they have a lot of money now.
I dont think PFL will buy Bellator, but maybe someone from Asia or Arabian countries will do it.

UFC signed with USADA only in 2015, and Lesnars era was in 2008-2009

Brock Lesnar last official fight for UFC was against Alistair Overeem in 2011

In 2016 Lesnar fought in UFC and got caught by USADA immediately UFC knew he was using roids, yet still let him fight Mark Hunt. Hunt knew he Lesnar is on roids, but still took it like a men a fought him. He has lost, but right now the fight is no contest in their record. I've heard that Hunt tried to sue UFC because they knew Lesnar was on roids and allowed to fight him, but he has lost that case.

Good luck trying to go against UFC, you end up on their black list like many others.
Only guy who managed to escape this modern gladiator prison on his own terms in Francis Ngannou, that is why Dana hates him.  

Does everybody really think the fighters in the UFC, Bellator and these other organizations are clean?  Lol.

I know Khabib was always clean, but he was exceptional fighter, for everyone else I suspect they used something.
McGregor tried all possible drugs he could, and main junky in UFC is Dana White

Superlek Kiatmoo9 has done it again, by winning his fight against Tagir Khalilov, it was a solid 2nd round  knockout from Superlek, and in 1st round, Tagir Khalilov's face was really busted open already, Superlek was super fast his speed was not normal and his solid shots can bust his opponent open it was really a scary fight for Tagir Khalilov, and on the 2nd round the referee has had enough he has seen enough blood and just like what I have said if you had a Super in your name and also got a number 9 on the back of your name you are meant to be super literally super,

While Garry Tonon VS Shamil Gasanov was immediately a wrestling match at the start because Shamil Gasanov the Russian has already have gone into submission holds, and kicked a knee to the head of Tonon it was really brutal for Tonon to throw that knee, but the beautiful thing here is Garry Tonon here have seen an opportunity to switch and have taken the Russians back actually the back of Gasanov was really exposes on the 1st round and just like in the 1st round the 2nd round is a submission fight again and Tonon is really unexpected here because he is now aiming for the knee of Gasanov, but surely Shamil Gasanov was really strong in holding Tonon but surely Gary Tonon had enough and aiming for he leg he have gone with a Kneebar

Even though I have posted this event I totally missed it now watching the replay of Superlek Kiatmoo9 against Tagir Khalilov and Superlek is really on another level  watching the fight I was like watching the movie Ongbak it has precision and there is to Superlek's Muay Thai that I love to watch and you will want to watch it again and again, the accuracy for sure Tagir Khalilov doesn't stand a chance against him, and I totally missed it,

While Garry Tonon VS Shamil Gasanov fight for me was boring, even though I know that Wrestling is incorporated with MMA and I surely learn to watch MMA with the ground game the boring part can not get over me, I was bored in a sense because it was pure wrestling, but still, it is OK

This Friday will be juicy for the MMA fans of the LFA in my opinion

LFA 163: Johns vs. Garcia

Friday 07.21.2023 at 09:00 PM ET

MAIN EVENT
Elijah Johns VS Javier Garcia

It was a fast fight, it ended in Round 2, and it is good that the Mustaches Boy won via Submission rear naked choke on Elijah Johns, and it was a win for Javier Garcia who took the UNF Featherweight Championship it was really amazing, and surprising at the same time, and this will be the same ring where we will see Francis Ngannou for sure let's just wait for that part where Francis Ngannou would just going inside that stage and for sure we will see another great fight,

Interesting weekend is coming for MMA with cross promotion Bellator vs RIZIN 2 and main event McKee vs Pitbull.
With more talk of Bellator ownership change I am starting to think that we could see this two companies merging into one in future.
This is not a big fight card with only five fights but main event is very interesting and I am expecting revenge from AJ McKee Jr, after his only loss in carrier was from Patricio Pitbull in 2022.
I cant find this event for betting anywhere, so I would appreciate if you guys can post if you find something.

Wikipedia is always full of info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellator_MMA_x_Rizin_2

During previous collaboration, Bellator fighters won every fight against Rizin fighters, and as far as I remember, all the fights went full distance. Which means there are no obvious dominance of one promotion over other. Hope this time Rizin guy would get some victories. I would not call it a revenge for previous losses, lets better it be a reputation recovery.

There is one big change for this Bellator-Rizin event after AJ McKee got injured and he wont be able to fight in main event against Patricky Pitbull.
Rizin quickly found replacement for him with Roberto de Souza, that has interesting nickname Satoshi  
Now we have two Brazillian fighters in main event and this will now be much harder to predict outcome.

I found this event on Stake casino for betting, but main event is not added yet:

There are not many Rizin fighters that I have seen but I guess it is just a collaboration or maybe previous Rizin fighters surely all are on Bellator's side now, but anyway
because AJ McKee Jr. has some medical issue Patricky Pitbull is fighting Roberto de Souza which is great because Roberto de Souza is a great grappler but Patricky Pitbull got the better of him with that KO/TKO Leg kick to ground punches was really a solid win for Patricky Pitbull, and because this event is only just 5 fights the Co-Main Event end up so sad with an eye poke and with a No Contest, and Magomed Magomedov have a Brilliant comeback win after that lost to Patchy Mix, so yeah many reputable recoveries for sure,

Great for you to have seen a betting platform for this fight but unfortunately the Main Event was posted late did you see it?

Well, the event was just a 5 fight event so maybe Stake just dump the idea on posting it I really don't know if there is no hype with the event and games they will likely just ignore it sometimes, but upon reviewing the Stake and Sportsbet gambling site I could say the Stake has some variety and they will likely post some event that is least expected like the WNBA if Sportsbet is not posting it or just totally ignores it Stake is posting it but some games where sometimes late so the Bellator X Rizin fight must be posted late aswell,

Great for you to have seen a betting platform for this fight but unfortunately the Main Event was posted late did you see it?

No I didnt watch it after I saw main event fighter was changed in last moment, and it was no surprise that Pitbull won.

Patricky Pitbull said recently that he is sad because of potential selling of Bellator but he is already thinking about PFL fighters in his category.
He probably knows more than us so we are probably going to see a lot of changes in next couple of months, and PFL could get other important signings like Sergio Pettis, Usman Nurmagomedov, Vadim Nemkov, Ryan Bader, Cris Cyborg and others.

[notblox1]

This might be one of the more interesting ONE Championship MMA events that is starting soon, maybe because it includes more fighters from Europe and North America.
There are mostly kickboxing, muay thai and grappling fights, but I think main and co-main title fights will be interesting to watch.
I am always super interested in watching heavyweight fights and in main card there is one of this between Marcus Buchecha and Oumar Kane.
If anyone finds this events available on crypto casinos please post it here.

[cygan]

in 2 weeks the next ksw event will take place in poland. there will be 2 cage fights in which it is about a belt defense. on the one hand Salahdine Parnasse and Robert Ruchała fight for the undisputed featherweight title and Ibragim Chuzhigaev tries to defend his belt against the ukrainian cage fighter Bohdan Gnidko.
more fights you can see from the graphic:

[notblox1]

Dana White Contender Series is starting again and in first week we have five new fights.
I dont know any of this fighters but I am expecting they will give their best performance to sign with UFC.
Whenever there is heavyweight fight to watch I already like that event

Oh! That was a total Bummer for you, and with the current change of fighter it was really undeniable that Patricky Pitbull will surely win that fight it was really a bummer for A.J. McKee to withdraw from that fight due to injury but Roberto de Souza was also a good combatant in the ground but Patricky Pitbull is more technical than him and because the ground will be a little deep with de Souza as an opponent Pitbull have finished it with a Leg kick

2023 DWCS Week 1 is around 11 hours or so.  Don't really know these fighters but just from looking at Tapology my picks are Fernando, Nolan, Machado, Talbott and Dias.

Wouldn't bet it if I had the money tho.  But Talbott could be a good bet.  His opponent is Tracy Cortez's brother who's a wrestler but isn't really good in striking.  Could end with Talbott winning it via decision.

Date:  Tuesday, August 8
Main Card (PPV):  7:00pm EST
Venue:  UFC Apex Center, Las Vegas, Nevada
Live Streams:  



Main Card
Middleweight:  Lucas Fernando vs Cesar Almeida            
Lightweight:  Tom Nolan vs Bogdan Grad            
Heavyweight:  Caio Machado vs Kevin Szaflarski            
Bantamweight:  Payton Talbott vs Reyes Cortez            
Flyweight:  Kevin Borjas vs Victor

We had so many upcoming fights for the MMA but you guys have forgotten the near upcoming fight for Bellator so here it is

I didnt forget about this Bellator event but I didnt have the chance to post more about this event and there is two more days until start
Main card looks interesting with co-main heavyweight big guys Russia vs America clash, and there are few fighters I never heard about but they have very good MMA scores.
I dont know if Bellator will be sold this year or not, but I hope we are going to see more good fights while they exist.
Two place I found for betting on this Bellator event with bitcoin is Sportsbet and Stake:

PFL is finally back this weekend with another event at Madison Square Garden with main event Renan Ferreira vs Maurice Greene in heavyweight category.
Co-main is event is again that suspicious looking Larissa Pacheco that looks more like a male than female, I think I saw Adam's apple there   
Another interesting fight for me is heavyweight clash between Goltsov and Heiderman, as prt of semifinal tournament.
They should all be extra motivated with big reward and if you are MMA fan dont miss this event.

Nobody cares about it at all well all there is are UFC this and that many here don't really care about Bellator, LFA, and other fighting Combat organizations, and with this thread  because there are so many events posted here, and for sure many don't know what to discuss, but surely because the event sometimes have the same time and date that we can not focus on things, well, I am not saying that we should focus on 1 event but we can not control others if they want to discuss other things,

But here are the result for the Bellator 298: Storley vs. Ward

Dont post your trash copy paste spam here anymore or I will have to report your posts.
Thank you.


PFL Playoffs are back and I am little surprised that this event is starting in 24 hours 
Shane Burgos well known ex-UFC fighter and biggest star of the night, and I give him advantage against Clay Collard.
He has small reach advantage but Burgos is fighting in his own town New York at Madison Square Garden, with big fan support.
I found this fight on Stake website, odds are not bad on Burgos:
