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.

@ayy

Thank you. I was trying to remember why I had that fight stored in my brain and I'm pretty sure that's why. I remember seeing the same thing.

Also oban elliot makes his debut against val woodburn (val to 170) at 298. Kinda mad they gave oban a freebie because i think he is terrible

@AyyLmaonnaise 
Obans ok I was kinda surprised to see him at contenders tbh but he made it through, It’ll be interesting to me at least to see how his career goes but eventually plummets

@calfoth yeah I can agree with the dwcs thing, selecting him was a very weird decision. Hes definitely fun to watch but I don’t see him going very far. I imagine with the right matchmaking he can put on some good fights tho

hows UFC 300 looking so far? Do we have any idea who the main event is supposed to be. If i was a betting man I'd say Jones Stipe

Nothing yet, I imagine they will announce it all at once. I don’t think it’s jones vs stipe cuz the return would be too short for jon; I think he needs 8-9 months to recover

Luque has called out Sean Brady for the main event of March 30th card. Idk why luque willingly wants to fight his worse matchup but that would be a solid fight

I don’t mind the matchup for Luque, Brady has no skill beside elite wresling, every other fighter in the top of welterweight has elite wresling whilst also having other skills, Brady wresling is no joke, but he’s one dimensional skills are going to cap his skill at not beating elite fighter. I think Brady is the easiest top 10 fighter to beat beside Wonderboy 

People were underrating Brady because he got Ko’d by Belal, now overating him because he beat Kelvin Gastulim who can’t win a fight

I actually think Brady has underrated striking; his boxing technique is actually very good. However, he has two main flaws, the amount of punches he takes and his cardio 

Brady has solid head movement & idk what it is, but he gets hit so much with his style. It’s weird because he moves his head and keeps a high guard but he just simply takes a lot of damage. His cardio is what’s gonna prevent him from going further than where he is; I thought it was bad because of his nose but I went and watched some of his regional fights and it’s the same thing. He has a good 10 minutes in him (when he is having his way he can go 15 min no problem) and then he just dies in round 3; I’ll never forget watching Gilbert Urbina almost ko him in round 3. 

The other problem is pressure. Brady just melts under pressure. I think luque is a very easy matchup for him though, obviously luque can give him hell on the feet, but luque has always struggled with wrestlers & I believe Brady would run through him similar to how he did KG

According to Red Corner mma shara bullet is going to be on the Saudi card. They are reporting that he’s headlining but there’s no ******* way unless they really are making the Marvin fight. I imagine he fights on the card regardless but main event would be ridiculous

I was under the impression that the card was gonna have like a title fight or a number one contender fight at the least with how they're hyping it, a vettori main event probably wouldn't be the best way to impress the house of saud

Well it is worth noting the source is pretty untrustworthy & also couldn’t decide what was actually happening; the caption said he will be on the card yet the graphic said he’s headlining. I think really it was just engagement bait 

However, vettori and shara were talking about fighting one another & we know Ali can get any of his guys a main event slot so I wouldn’t totally rule out that fight from happening. Would be pretty ******* stupid tho considering umar is also likely on this card and the ufc wants to have a good Saudi card

Ali has something on Dana for sure. Noting can explain how he is pushing his second middleweight with one ufc fight into a main event with a top ten, while Caio Borralho who is only behing Dricus for longest win streak on 185 will probaly have to wait for a uk event to get a ranked opponent againt Paul Craig or at worst fight Andre Muniz.

@77pk it’s a well known fact he takes ufc executives to the clubs every week & buys them drinks and gifts; not just him, but the big three in the “manager mafia” (Jason house, Daniel rubenstein, and Ali). He does the same **** with his fighters in pfl. He definitely has dirt but he also just buys all his connections. I saw a video last week of a massive flashing graphic one of the managers bought in a club welcoming Sean Shelby. It was this massive graphic and they had confetti and fireworks going off

"Manager mafia" is a very good name for those 3 considering they manage at least 80% of the ufc roster, Ali has more pull out these three with how he can get his guys these types of fights and blocking Fernand Lopez fighters from joining the ufc. And is their loss for almost all the time passing on great talent because they don't have one of them as their manager.

Actually Fernands fighters not getting to ufc was fernands fault. He became matchmaker for pfl Europe and stopped trying to get his guys to ufc since he would get paid more for bringing them to pfl. He hid emails from lazy king when the matchmakers tried to sign him and he lied about Taylor lapilus breaking his hand last year (lapilus has since left the gym after this incident). Fernand is one of my least liked people in mma; dude doesn’t care about the sport at all, he just wants to screw over his athletes so he can get paid more 

But yeah Ali’s pull in the sport is actually disgusting. It takes away opportunities from fighters who aren’t as well connected & gives the spotlight to fighters who don’t really deserve it. Some good examples are abus vs Strickland, puna getting high placement & only fighting in big events, and askhabov getting signed despite pulling out of his dwcs fight

Not surprised with Fernand being a *******. Ali managing Puna finally explains to me how a bum like him always gets good spots on cards Stoltzfus beating his ass was great to watch. And i bet that if Vartanyan was manage by him he would already have a fight with someone like RDA and not begging for a chance.
