UFC on ESPN+ 3: Błachowicz vs. Santos

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Oh no. UFC for the first time in my hometown and what we've got so far is a bunch of Russians. 
We got some dudes capable of being a UFC fighters too, you know.. 
Damn it, I really hope that all of the rumoured fights ain't happening because I can't see myself to pay to watch some Chechen card. 
I have nothing against Russian fighters but that's simply not what I want to see in person.

Sure sounds like u have something against russian fighters. No offense suki.

I don't, really. Just don't want this event to turn into another UFC Moscow. UFC should give a chance to local fighters which there's plenty of. If I say local, it doesn't mean Russian. 

Bruh. That's what I want to tell you. I want to see local fighters just like UFC Moscow had. I'm Czech, not a Russian. We DO NOT consider Russians as a local people. Czech Republic is ******* Central Europe, Russia is Eastern Europe = different world. Don't get me wrong, I'll be there no matter what but I want to have some fighters to cheer for.. I'm not asking that much, don't you think?

So far it looks like the worst timing for Czech/Slovak MMA. Most of the best local fighters have either lost pretty recently (there are basically no new signings after a loss), their medical condition is not the best or they are tied up by contract in another organization.

Vemola is the one who wants to fight there the most. He's somewhat obsessed with his desire to get back. I actually don't see any significant progress since his UFC days therefore his one and only wrestling style has been overcome a long time ago. He's simply not very fun to look at.

Another fighter and arguably the best Czech or Slovak fighter nowadays, Prochazka, doesn't want to break the contract with Rizin. Rizin would let him to fight once in Prague and that's it. UFC wants him to sign a multi-fight contract though and that's obviously not gonna happen.

Kincl has recently moved to middleweight from his natural welterweight and a fight in the UFC is too early for him. Not to mention his loss to Vemola in june. Personally I don't think he has any kind of bussiness in middleweight.. I see it as a mistake but we shall see, I guess.

On the other hand, Klein looks REALLY promising and seems to be more than UFC ready. Would be great to see him on the card.. the only obstacle is he's not Czech but Slovak, hope it won't matter. 

Attila Vegh is not what he used to be but he's still pretty good. Vemola challenged him to fight against him on this card but he turned it down and said (well, his managment) that if he's ever gonna fight on this Prague card, it would not be against Vemola. 

David Kozma hasn't showed any interest to sign for the UFC which I don't understand (maybe Oktagon won't let him as he's got title defence scheduled already). He definitely is UFC ready so it's a shame. 

Michal Martinek is the most promising heavyweight in here. He's 7-0 and is a former professional hockey player so it could be pretty interesting for the UFC.. not to mention HW division needs a new blood. I give it a good chance we'll see him sooner or later. He had a surgery not a long time ago but I think he should be alright until february. 

Pudilova has been already confirmed and she wants to fight Bethe Correia. 

Makhmud Muradov is perhaps not a Czech but he started with MMA here and lives in Prague for a long time. He's managed by TMT and is in fact their first signed MMA fighter. He's an animal capable of taking the belt one day, believe me.

David Dvorak is really great flyweight and that's the problem. Nobody knows if UFC is getting rid of  this divison or not. ONE FC is perhaps the way to go. 

Petrasek was always considered as a UFC material but that's no longer a subject (at least not this year) as he lost to Kimball last month.

I'm pretty sure I forgot somebody but yeah, these are all promising people worth getting a shot.
Sorry for my English, I'm doing my best. haha

reminds me of the UFC Argentina card recently where theres actually a decent few solid argentines with built up recs,  good criteria and are international ready ( local draws/ media pop) ( in my world the card's theme would have been " Argentina vs the World " but ok maybe too early for this theme) but the ones im thinking of were either signed somewhere else or some reason (s) exists to why they were not featured (signed) for that event

why God why ? why do always mess up our plans ? do we not have any control of ""it""? is ""it"" an illusion ? what really is the point of ""it"" and what even is ""it"" has ""it"" happened / happening or we would never know anyway? and what not

but wait why does ""it"" have to be an / or ""it"" what if ""it"" can just be ""a"" or when does/did ""it"" become ""it"" maybe ""it"" can become ""maybe"" or ""perhaps"" or ""a"" when does ""it"" begin and or end and where does ""a"" begin or were both just an illusion in my mind after playing Red Dead 2 for 24 hrs+ without break

and what not

yeah they are definitly onto something with all this ""it"" business but i prefer ""a"" personally its more in line with my views on spiritual (metaphysical) androgony and how we are not actually an ""it"" at all or in any sense we are just ""a"" 's trying and "Just Bleed"ing to be ""its"" but i could be very very wrong

what if we are not even ""a""'s we are like a poof of an ""a""
