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.

that fight doesn’t make much sense

Song kenan came out of hiding 

Good to see him back

I appreciate him returning but he’s gonna get a rude welcome back

This further proves my opinion than Ian Garry is a bum who wont even make it to the rankings before getting exposed. His win over Gabe Green was good and made him look like a legit threat and then they pull this **** 🤦 This fight makes literally ZERO sense

It’s just to get him experience and a finish. They’re giving him
The Suga sean build
Up

UFC is desperately trying to get a European star lol

A European star? You're aware they passed up on signing Mansour Barnaoui and Roberto Soldic recently? They also don't even try sign most of the good polish fighters. It's pretty clear they want them British and Irish, I wouldn't say "European". 

they're paying Paddy and Ian like $20k each right now. Highest paid fighter from the EU region is probably Leon since he's the reigning champ.

why would they invest 6-7 figures just getting big names when they already have two guys who are getting a big fan following and they're so dirt cheap?? they're basically banking on these guys becoming stars while they constantly just give them these small contracts, that way the profit the UFC makes off of them is insane. it's why whether you like Conor or not, he is   severely   underpaid by the UFC. He was in a similar situation as Paddy and Ian - he was selling a **** ton of tickets for the UFC while getting paid something like $50k per fight lol

Wow askar askarov has unretired. However, he’s fighting in ACA, not the ufc. Very interesting move 

Woah, I’m not surprised he unretired but it’s a weird choice to fight in ACA. They probably payed him a bag tho

Cedric doumbe is fighting the biggest test of his career when he fights 4-1 pawel klimas on March 4th. You gotta think this is his last fight before the ufc should he win

It's funny cause Ian Garry looked like **** against Jordan Williams until he landed that one punch, and then looked decent against Gabe Green, who is far more better than Williams. I do think that Green is better than Song tho, but I guess Song is more of a veteran than Green. My guess is Garry knocks Song tf out cause Song's chin may be gone at this point, and they should give him someone like Rowe, Carlston Harris (if he wins), Jeremiah Wells, or someone like Luque, Chiesa, or Magny if they want him in the rankings after that fight

Cedric will do well till he hits grapplers too bad 170 is full of them esp at the top.

LMAO what the ****. Askar Askarov just signed a deal with ACA. Tf is this ****? Did this mfer really just play the UFC and trick them into thinking he was sick so they could release him??? 💀💀💀

Basically yeah 

Oh damn you already reported the news. Damn. 

Well I say good riddance tbh. **** that boring bum. We all know Moreno beat his ass basically 30-27, and Kara France schooled him as well. He was never gonna be champion, so if he wants to go get easy wins in Russia who cares. We already saw him lose to the best

Dude talked a lot of **** and then put up a lousy performance against KKF. The only time he was winning the fight was when he just laid and prayed

Tbh, if never being champ make you bad they‘re no point for 90-95% of the roster 

Askar would be in the top 20% of the roster, maybe 10%, 

Damn, pissed off a lot of salty little Russian ***** fangirls I see ☠️☠️☠️ Yeah Askarov was a top 10 or even top 5 flyweight, I’m not saying he’s bad. I’m just saying Moreno is his father and he was never gonna be champ. That’s all. If someone like Topuria did this **** I’d be seething, cause we don’t know the full extent of his potential. We knew how good Askarov was and what his ceiling was

Kai Kara France has 90+ take down defense, Askar had a bad match up to be fair as a grappler to fight a guy you can't takedown, 

It's sucks to not have a top 5 guy in the UFC anymore, I want to see the best fight the best, Askar one of the best at flyweight, Also can't really say he reach his potential when he only lost one fight in a bad matchup

Also, Not being champ is a very casual opinion, 95% of the roster will never be champion,
