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.

Ah I see

Also confirmed at Road to UFC Wulijiburen vs Shohei Nose and Xiao Long vs  Min Woo Kim

So the tournament matchups are 

FLYWEIGHT


Rama supandhi vs Choi Seung Guk
Yuma Horiuchi vs Topnoi Kiwram
---------------------------------------------------
Park Hyun Sung vs Jeremia Siregar
Qiu Lun vs Wallen Del Rosario



BANTAMWEIGHT


Wulijiburen vs Shohei Nose
Xiao Long vs  Min Woo Kim
---------------------------------------------------
Rinya Nakamura vs  Gugun Gusman
Keremuaili Maimaitituoheti vs Kazama Toshiomi



FEATHERWEIGHT


Lu Kai vs Angga Hans
Lee Jeong Yeong vs  Xi Bin
---------------------------------------------------
Hong Jun Young vs  Koyomi Matsushima
Keisuke Sasu vs Yi Zha



LIGHTWEIGHT


Ki Won Bin vs Balajin
 Kim Kyung Pyo vs  Asikeerbai Jinensibieke
---------------------------------------------------
Anshul Jubli vs  Patrick Sho Usami
Aili Muratbek vs Pawan Maan Singh



Now looking at the guys left I have taken some guesses of what the other matchups could be. They would work similarly to Knuttsson and Tokkos fights. Also I think some of these will be kept for the semifinals as only 10 bouts are announced per event (9 confirmed at each)


Yusaku Kino****a v Han Seul Kim at Welterweight

John Adajar  vs Jeka Asparido Saragih at Welterweight/Lightweight

Tatsuya Ando vs Takeru Uchida at Bantamweight/Flyweight

Jung Young Lee vs Roshan Mainam at Featherweight

There’s also a third highlighted bout between an Asian and non Asian fighter. Takeru uchida vs Shaun etchell

@cangrejo I was thinking about it and those guys who aren’t matched up with anyone are likely going to alternates should someone drop out

@adrnc oh wow, throwing Sam alvey to the wolves again🤣🤣🤣 I really like the sound of oleksejczuk at MW. I think he will have a lot of success there

Bro WHATTTTTTT. 

**** **** ****. Give sam a layup plz

Polish guys are literally punching the **** out fighters out of UFC.

Jan sent Corey to bellator, Rockhold to rethink his life
Gamrot sent Stephens to pfl
now Oleksiejczuk sends Alvey haha

Whenever polish fighters lose its a bad loss. 

Like they are a bad nail

Sam isn’t getting a layup again, he’s gonna get cut once michel ko’s him

Schulte - Held to rematch on 17th of June at PFL

Pfl cards have been pretty entertaining this year. I also saw they’re giving Jeremy stephens the same can they gave pettis. His losing streak will finally be broken lol

Oh and josh silvera finally fighting so that’s good. He’s getting marthin hamlet 

Also vettori vs rob is slated for the france card. That card is shaping up quite nicely. I desperately want them to sign Taylor lapilus and mansour barnaoui for that card

Also the perfect moment to sign the Lazy King

Oh **** totally forgot about him. Lazy king is awesome. He might get signed outright if he beats amossou

Well, got some ****** news but at least I know why the founder has been out of touch:

He's taking a job with Bellator and MMAprospects is shutting down :(

I'm still gonna finish this month's column there while I look for a new site to write for, thanks to everyone who's ever read one of my articles there. 

@Ayylmao, I can still recommend you to wherever it is I end up but since I'll be a brand new writer as well, it probably won't mean as much. Lmk what you want, might just make sense to pick a site and apply there conventionally

@jrscolwell ahhhh that sucks to hear. Yeah lmk wherever you end up working and I will try and apply myself! Appreciate all the help btw!

Khabib says he wants cross promote a fight between Fedor and Dos Santos and Coker seems on board. That would be awesome.
