MMA news updates

Instead of spamming the boards everytime I see some cool news, I’ll post it here. I’ll also keep track of prospects I like, new signings to ufc/dwcs/Bellator/etc.

Yeah I wanna see him soon. Sucks the bontorin fight got called off. I would’ve liked a schnell fight but they booked nicolau. Maybe he fights loser of royval/askarov or dvorak 

Dude said kai is elite...

lemme guess reynolds, you think Jerome ******* rivera would beat Kai?

Reynolds can you keep your toxciity out of this thread pls 

We don’t need arguments

If There was no weight cut involved then i say its 55-45 tagir. But since there is a weightcut i say tagir atleast 65-35. 

Striking is close(Maness-Power, Tagir-Better Technique). Cardio and grappling advantage to tagir

The fight will likely play out close though, because tagir likes to make fights close. He dosent control the fight, kinda like emeev and jotko

Okay can we all agree to just come back to this topic once the fight plays out to settle this? Reynolds has Tagir and everybody else has Maness. This is why the fight is happening; to find out who is better.

I like both of these guys. Dont think im biased


I just see this being another misha cirkunov situation 

Danny Henry is back

Love to see it

You could swap out Kape for Perez, Askar or whoever you want, it just depends on perspective. I just think that Kape has found his stride and will keep his streak going

That low volume problem could bite him in the ass if he doesn’t fix it for sure

Kai is elite. Cody and Askar were supposed to get title shots off beating him yet he won both bouts convincingly. Those are legit wins no ifs, ands, or buts.

Wooow 

Garrett armfield vs Christian rodriguez added to Oct. 29. Hate that one guy has to start on a 2 fight L streak but that’s gonna be an amazing fight. I think both guys are super good but c-rod is a ******* beast imo

Is Armfield at Bantamweight?

Nevermind Rodriguez is a featherweight, Armfield too small. Needs to go to Bantamweight imo

* Edited at 08.10.2022, 9:57 PM ET *

Yep both guys are making their bantamweight debuts, where they should be 

Okay good, Armfield gonna be a nice dog than 🤔

Rodriguez is a bantamweight too, the fights at 135 


Ehh idk, ceerod is ******* good man. I mean so is armfield too; that’s why it’s such a great fight. Both guys are unassuming, but incredibly talented. I think both will do very well in the ufc besides one starting off 0-2

Christian showed rather good grappling defense against Pearce, just had poor fight IQ that I'd say was because of his inexperience, Armfield showed good striking against Onama, maybe cos of the takedown threat but Onama was winning the majority of the wrestling/grappling exchange anyways so I doubt it lol. I'll take Christian in that fight, I'm decently confident, but yeah should be a good fight!

Also I just gotta say, Oct. 29 is stacked as hell. It doesn’t even have a main event yet either 

october in general looks good too no lie. 

October 1st is Dern vs Xiaonan which isn't the best of Main events but still a good fight and it has a very good undercard

We get a break

October 15th is set to be Strickland vs Cannonier as a main event which I don't mind, will most likely be a technical showing from Strickland or a back and forth chess match with Cannonier landing the KO blow. It has a decent set of undercards so far with:

Cub vs Martinez which should be a great striking fight
Grasso vs Araujo which isn't bad at all imo
Vergara vs Taira is not only a good fight at flyweight, great showing for two great up and comers but it's also a great test for what is said to be the future of flyweight

And it even has what I assume to be the co-main event, a banger fight between Askarov and Royval.

October 22nd, is a dream card

and like you said October 29th is shaping up to be great

Anybody mention Uriah Hall retired?
