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

[TopTort777]

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,

Lol, you would better speak for yourself. As you have mentioned UFC, then lots of fighters from there participate in other promotions after they are released. Bellator is full of former UFC fighters. Importand point - not every fighter that is released from UFC is a bad fighter. Sometimes fighters cant came to agreement about the contract. Mousasi or Demetrious Johnson for example.

I will speak for myself. I dont watch Bellator, KSW, PFL or One events from beginning to an end. I dont watch UFC events fully either. But, thanks to notblox1 reminders (post with event), I watch tournament reviews on youtube, and if I got interested in a fight, I watch it completely. We discuss so little other promotions because they are little information about them.

For sure we all have our own opinions to watch and not to engage with the discussion or not for there are surely guys who are interested but there are guys who are just interested in the UFC but suddenly become aware of other MMA just like me in the past, we can not likely compare all MMA organization for sure but yes there are likely fighters from the UFC that are not really bad but end up getting into other organization because the UFC is likely doesn't care about them just like what happen to Demetrious Johnson,

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

Sorry about that I don't really mean that way, what I mean is I don't see some discussion about the fights or maybe some fights being bet on Maybe I was comparing the UFC and other MMA organizations in this thread which is wrong and I truly Regret that, Sorry again I will not post any copy-paste, here but let me still make a discussion with the said events Sorry again and I was really wrong on what I am saying,

Sorry about the misunderstanding What I want to say is all  we do is share some events for Bellator, LFA, PFL, and OKTAGON, while we engage in discussion in the UFC thread but surely because of the many events we can not pick an event to make a discussion, so yeah I was really full of myself when saying that maybe the influence of Alcohol have made me say something like that so Sorry again to @notblox1 the Original Poster for saying such things that are not really appropriate and wish for forgiveness,

Dana White was again talking about other MMA promotions after latest Contender Series Week 5 event.
He does not understand why anyone would buy Bellator for $500 million, but I think he is saying this only because of ex-UFC fighters like Cris Cyborg, that had argument with him.
He is scared from competition, and I dont know how much Bellator is worth but I know there are many great fighters there who are against Dana.
I would love to see merge between PFL and Bellator, this would be bad ass competition for UFC and Dana White.

I've also heard some rumours that UFC have kind of financial difficulties, then those competitors possible merge can take a huge piece of his audience pie. Today, PFL does not look like a silly low rated promotion for rest of the mma fighter, anymore. PFL went from "wow they had a tournament with 1 million prize" to "we have Ngannou", "We might get Jake Paul in our octagon" and etc. They really start to strongly pull blanket to their side. Bellator is full of UFC former stars, PFL looks like have money. Their combo can be dangerous to UFC. No wonder Dana is nervous.

This one is crazy https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwWczB6AnGC/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D. Transgender man knocks out biological woman in MMA fight What do you think about this? I know there are transgenders in swimming and weight lifting (few even were participating on Olympic Games). One thing you compete individually or in team, and dont have much physical contact with opponent. The other thing you legally smash women while basically being a man. Dont think this is fair.

He is also talking about the NBA The NBA beat them and they beat the NBA, for sure The other MMA companies will be on the talk and will be compared with the UFC, and for sure a talk on the merge could likely be happening if the MMA industry keeps plummeting in their sales and revenue for sure a merge could likely happen, or maybe UFC will buy all competitors so they could fly solo,

For sure he is still a man and even if he is transformed and his genitals or appearance change he can still punch hard like a man, kick like a man, and be taken down as a man as well because for sure he still has the chromosomes of a man, I really don't know what is happening why a Trans man could fight in an official MMA company this is really unfair and other MMA company should not be allowed this to happen and for this to be a norm for them,

[YuginKadoya]

For sure LFA 166 was not so much of a banger and the Main Event and the Co-Main ended with a Decision win we are ready to embark on a new event for sure and for me because the Tyson Fury VS Francis Ngannou fight is on the corner I am saying that we are having a new LFA event this coming Sept, 15,

What interesting is that the main event brought together Jonathan Piersma VS Devin Smyth and both of them were quite good fighters but Devin Smyth himself lost in his last 2 fights even though he previously had 9 wins.
Maybe later there will be quite a fierce battle because both of them really want to win in this important battle at WELTERWEIGHT.

Jonathan Piersma himself has a much better fighting history than Devin Smyth so there is a big possibility for Jonathan Piersma to become the favorite and have a big chance of emerging as champion.
However this is only a prediction so there may be many errors that could occur.

However this is only a prediction so there may be many errors that could occur.

I have seen the highlights of these two fighters and I was really kind of excited to see this main event for sure, Devin Smyth has two losses, but looking at it that 1 loss was on the Dana White Contender Series in 2019 and he failed to get into UFC, for sure but with the LFA he was caught by Maycon Mendonça in the round 2 while Jonathan Piersma is really an interesting match both have the same style all I can say is the winner will be with the best in the ground defense, for me I am leaning more towards Jonathan Piersma for this fight

While the Co-Main event is an interesting one aswell Shamidkhan Magomedov VS Bakhromjon Mashrapov for sure Shamidkhan Magomedov has some striking and a ground game aswell while Bakhromjon Mashrapov sure has a black belt but he never end his fight with a submission but for sure he is also great with it, for sure the Main event and the Co-main are the pretty much interesting in this event,

You are right Jonathan Piersma has an interesting history of his previous fights and I also think that he will be an interesting fighter for sure in the future he is still 27 years old so he is still improving, while his opponent is Devin Smyth is 28 years old and still improving as well, for sure both is an interesting fight because both got great striking and has a ground game but for sure Jonathan Piersma has an explosive takedown and Grappling for sure so for me Jonathan Piersma has a slight advantage,

For sure both the Main event and Co-main event are interesting to fight and I love to see them and make a prediction from them, The fight will start on Sept 15 so there is still time to make preparations and maybe bet for this fight but for sure this is an interesting event for sure and for sure the PFL is a young Company for sure it is still in the process of Strengthen itself, and for sure this new athletes is what the PFL is needed to improve their quality against the other fighting League surely the UFC,

[notblox1]

I've also heard some rumours that UFC have kind of financial difficulties, then those competitors possible merge can take a huge piece of his audience pie.

I never heard anything about UFC financial difficulties, they have more than enough sponsors and they pay fighters much less than all other sports.
Maybe Dana White has financial problems because he spends a lot of money on drugs and other stupid things, but Dana White is not UFS
His Contender Series is also making him money, he is picking good fighters without paying them any money, they only sign UFC deal if they perform good or above average.
Tomorrow is another Contender Series Week 6 with another potential of 5 new fighters signing up.

[YuginKadoya]

LFA 167: Piersma vs. Smyth the main event ended up in a fast 51 seconds Spinning Wheel Kick KO/TKO of Devin Smyth to Jonathan Piersma it was a shocking performance for sure you never see a KO Spinning Wheel Kick like that in any combat sports before, it was brutal that it was shocking at the same time, while Shamidkhan Magomedov VS Bakhromjon Mashrapov ended up in a Decision win for Shamidkhan Magomedov and even though it was a decision win it was a great Unanimous fight for Shamidkhan Magomedov and Liam Anderson VS Jay Manning ended with a Submission Anderson have to catch Manning with a Rear Naked Choke, also Eduardo Penha ended the fight with an Armbar Submission against Jessen Ramcharan for sure LFA has some unique fighter as well,

The next match will be LFA 168: McKee vs. McPadden and for the LFA fans this is surely a great fun fight to watch aswell as LFA 167 was wrap I think LFA deserves a credit in bringing great game to us,

[notblox1]

With all the news and rumors regarding changing of ownership and business value, show must go on with another Bellator even that starts in two days.
I am really interested in main event between Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards for middleweight title.
Eblen has perfect MMA record 13-0 and Fabian Edwards is brother of better known UFC fighter Leon Edwards, and he has very good 12-2 MMA record.
This event will happen in Dublin, Ireland and I think Edwards have more fan support, and reach advantage in this fight.
I dont remember any recent MMA event that had so much fights, 21 with 5 of them in main card, so it should interesting MMA night in Ireland.

UFC is owned by Endeavor group and they are purchasing huge entertainment brands left and right and they are one that recently purchased WWE the wrestling company and i do not think they are under financial difficulties. The problem with PFL and Bellator is that they need to find talents that can stand out if they want fans to watch each and every show, UFC is doing that constantly and other promotion needs to do a better job promoting the fighters.

Transgender man knocks out biological woman in MMA fight What do you think about this? I know there are transgenders in swimming and weight lifting (few even were participating on Olympic Games).

In Olympics they will not allow biological man to face a biological female. This should not happen in any sports let alone in fighting as it is unfair.

I watched a brutal fight between two tough Muay Thai fighters and it was held by ONE and since the first round Rodtang was very aggressive and managed to make Superlek head hurt until blood was literally dripping down his face.
Muay Thai fighting is one of the most exciting fights because the fighters have very good power and the power of their kicks and punches is also very strong.

From this fight I thought Rodtang could beat Superlek but in the jury decision Superlek won by absolute points over Rodtang.
Superlek tends to hold Rudtang hands more often and push him to the corner of the ring and this is one of the reasons why Rodtang cannot freely attack.

Congratulations to Superlek on the win.

That was one hell of a fight. I also thought Rodtang deserved the win but surprisingly the judges gave it to Superlek. And most people that talking about this fight also thought Rodtang won. It's a shame Superlek came in 5 pounds overweight. That's a lot of weight difference already. Rodtang's strikes would've brought more damage on Superlek if they came in at the same weight. And without the added weight, Superlek's strength when he's holding and pushing would've been thwarted at times.

People are demanding a rematch. Also, we want to see a 5 round fight and not just 3 rounds since this is a super fight between two warriors.

Spectacular fight indeed and Johnny Eblen made it possible and won against Leon Edwards' brother Fabian Edwards, it was the punches of Eblen that got Edwards to the ground, and from that, he mounted and hit with the Barrage of elbows and punches, it was a KO with for Johnny Eblen for sure it was a slow started but both fighters got their grove it was hell breaking loose on this fight for sure, that Eblen has unleashed,

That was one great fight aswell that was held by ONE Championship and Rodtang was also a well-known personality in the Philippines which is why I surely know him Superlek Kiatmoo9 was well-known but for sure that was his fight against Panpayak Jitmuangnon and for sure Rodtang had a fight against Demetrious JOhnson for sure that was one mixed matches for us, but in this fight Congratulation for Superlek Kiatmoo9 and like I have said you will not be super if your name and number and alpha was combined in your name it was a literal Super then a number of 9 for sure it has no losses or what so ever,
