Ares FC 8: Tekenah vs. Siric

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

@drchaotic you're right, this card is hype as ****

Soooo many good prospects on this one. Ares fc continues to be one of the best regional promotions in the world. They always have the best matchups and the best European prospects available 

Hell yeah it is! Only thing is I refuse to believe we're getting a ******* woman's flyweight title fight over a heavyweight one 🤣

I know you aren’t interested in fighters with less than three fights but tekenah looks like an animal. The mma factory has produced a serious talent in her; she doesn’t fight like a 2-0 fighter. I’m shocked it’s so skewed honestly cuz she’s probably gonna win

True but that doesn't even matter. For one she's a huge underdog so clearly people expect her to lose, and more importantly it doesn't matter how good of a prospect you are, NO WOMAN'S FIGHT should EVER headline over a male title fight, ESPECIALLY not a ******* heavyweight title one. That's ******** and like a **** slap in the face. I don't agree with heavier weight classes always headlining when it comes to titles, but I mean come on. This is one of the many instances where it is most certainly warranted. I hope this line up is wrong and Trabelsi and the other guy are actually headlining, cause no one who isn't a hardcore cares about the woman's title fight. 

I'm still gonna watch it. I recognize both ladies have great promise, and the card is ******* juiced to the gills like a senior citizen Yoel Romero cosplayer, so even if the main event is trash it won't ruin my evening, but yeah heavyweight title fight should always headline unless someone like Oliveira or Usman is on the card

Okay sure

And people expect her to lose because people don’t know who she is; she’s headlining because this is the fight that establishes her as a prospect. She’s probably gonna win  

Like cmon, it’s Fernand lopez he clearly knows what he’s doing

Since when tf can you edit comments- 

And yeah I guess so but I feel like they've been building Ivana up even more than the random French girl. Like she's got the looks, fanbase, and skills so idk 

Tekenah vs. Petrović
Alexandra Tekenah, DEC
Idk why tekenah is such a big underdog. She looks legit

Nuftillaev vs. Trabelsi
Azamat Nuftillaev, TKO, R3
This is such a great fight. Trabelsi needs to develop his striking but his wrestling is very high level (former Olympian) and his cardio held up well too. Azamat is a can crusher but looks very dominant. Hard one to call

Nahaye vs. Gomis
William Gomis, TKO, R2
Gomis is a high level prospect

Violet vs. Oudelha
Teddy Violet, DEC
Such a weird ******* fight

Aida vs. Pena
Moustapha Aida, TKO, R2
Aida is talented but has the worst takedown defense I’ve ever seen. Luckily that shouldn’t be a problem because I don’t think pena is the same man he was 5 years ago

Glazkov vs. Begai
Igor Glazkov, DEC
I guess begai is the guy they throw to all their prospects. Gonna have to see if glazkov is a fraud or not

Faiddine vs. Haque
Shajidul Haque, DEC
Both these guys have underrated careers

Chamsoudinov vs. Pallett
Baissangour Chamsoudinov, DEC
This is a tough one. Both guys are very promising.

Tir vs. Bathily
Abu Bakr Bathily, SUB, R1
I have no idea what to expect here. Both are can crushers

Azizov vs. Coşkun
Temerlan Azizov, SUB, R2
Azizov is a promising guy out of mma factory

Batouche vs. Diedrick
Ammari Diedrick, TKO, R1
Diedrick is a very exciting prospect. Good kickboxing background
