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.

wait i thought aldana was fighting nunes

Nah that was just a rumor. Fizzled out

Also do Bronx vs beneil is being targeted for a main event in may. No specific date given 

Any idea why the most recent Octagon picks are still pending?

Nah, I’m not the editor for that region. Probably sayat didn’t watch it live and hasn’t gotten the results emailed to him

2 new fights for March 11th. 

Ricardo ramos vs Austin lingo 
Anton turkalij vs vitor petrino 

anton anton

Now looks like Tony gravely vs victor Henry also on March 11th. Guess Henry isnt the guy we thought he was. I got tony 

******* gross that they're even thinking of putting that on top of a great card like the SA one. I hope Aldana atleast gets a cool looking finish with the hands, cos otherwise they just ruined the card.Even worse is that this also leads me to believe that they're going for the trilogy between Pena and Nunes now, which also ******* blows

Nah, ain't no way Pena Nunes 3 is happening, but they better gtfoh with that Aldana Pennington horse****. Idgaf how exciting Irene is and how much I like her, they better NOT EVEN THINK about putting that **** as a main event in front of a live crowd. They won't sell a damn thing. Turkalj vs Petrino is a good fight, I actually think The Pleasure Man takes it and re-establishes himself as a prospect. Petrino aint all that

Also the latest Octagon event does have results, its had them for a while. It took a couple days to get them in (I kept refreshing Maksum's profile every few hours to see if the results had finally been entered) but they're there now

Yeah I hope not but if they do end up putting Aldana vs Pennington 2 as the main event of UFC SA then they won't have a choice other than Nunes vs Pena 3, so I hope they put a better main event for SA and do one of Pennington or Aldana vs Nunes and the other one who wont be booked vs Pena

The sad truth is it’s likely going to be main event

Will be a huge bullet through the "amazing-ness" of march 2023 no lie

Yeah hopefully the rest of the card rounds it out 

Reynolds is constantly sucking off Dana here and saying he pays for every PPV because he hopes to get a 12k contract one day

Turkalj really pissed them off on the contender series. How else do you explain getting Jailton and now Petrino back to back.

I like Aldana, but I think Pennington is hit or miss tbh. Ketlin and her kind of put up a stinker in her last fight, and the worst thing is that it was close which meant literally neither of them did too much damage too each other. I hope Aldana does wild ass **** like she did in her last fight, so we can move on from throwing Pennington in to get her face bashed in by Nunes

With Turkalj, the only unranked light heavyweights that didn't just fight or have a fight booked were either Petrino, Camur, or Ed Herman. Everyone that doesn't fall under that category are either ranked or hurt. I also think Camur might be hurt again

It shows how little talent they have at light heavyweight. I think there's just too many fat heavyweights that don't want to cut down to light heavyweight on the regional scene, and there's obviously not too many specimens of humans that weigh 205 pounds

Yeah, LHW is tricky because sometimes the most athletic ones drop down to middleweight, and the lazier ones turn into Jake Collier
