Ok, not semi-legal, but it will be allowed to take a joint between rounds I am sure something unusual will be allowed. Because who needs another promotion when there are already a lot of them. Promotion must stand out with something to be noticed. Dana did not have a best childhood, but he had some good connections (Fertitta brothers and their money) and businessman's vein. Nate has only "hood and brothers". We already have Khabib, his popularity and sponsors, but his promotions isnt even close to fame of "middle class mma promotions". Anyway, if Nate really makes his own promotion, it will be interesting to see what it will be and he will achieve.

There is no such thing as semi-legal because he is asking for official promotional license, so everything is going to be legal with normal rules.
Dana White didn't have best childhood and he was able to make something like UFC, so it doesn't really matter.
Start small and I am sure he is going to earn more than warming bench for years in UFC.
Now I see Nate is saying that trilogy fight with McGregor will happen for sure, maybe in Real Fight Inc

Dana White Contender Series Week 7 is starting in few hours and we have plenty of fighters from Brazil.

He indeed prepared for this by leaving the UFC, and I wish there would be promoters that would support his own combat sports and unlike Khabib Nurmagomedov that already has some sponsors, and indeed even though Khabib is the face of the Eagle FC combat sports he has a team that will help him with a lot of things and he surely got his sponsors like Elite Development, FLXcast, and a cryptocurrency Saitama token that has a current value of $0.00169815 USD so pretty much it is ready to go, while that Real Fight Inc, is not yet established but wishing it success,


As I am reading your comments about the Combat sports of Nick Diaz, there is something that comes to my mind, well maybe USADA will be banned on his combat sports would likely the use of weed will not be prohibited, well you said the Diaz brothers will surely be setting their own rules and they would likely be fighting in it aswell, well after reading it all I surely now doubt if this could be a success, but I could be wrong, and let's surely hope it succeded aswell,

Good to hear that. But I dont think Diaz brothers will have similar support and sponsors Khabib Nurmagomedov has. They are simply on the different level of media. I cant even imagine what promotion will Nate has. As he has a problematic childhood, it might be that the fight in his promotion will be semi legal, or rules will be weird. By looking on Diaz brothers, their lifestyle, I find it hard to believe their promotion will have high level of professionalism. Anyway, I might be wrong and good luck to Nate.

Big news coming in MMA world as Nate Diaz announced launch of his own combat sports promotion called Real Fight Inc, and he is going to apply for promoter license.
Diaz has plans to host MMA, boxing and jiu-jitsu events, so he went the steps of ex-champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Difference compared to Khabib is that Nate Diatz could also be active in fighting, so he is going to stay active.
Exact date for first event id not clear, but we are going to find out more after his fight with Khamzat Chimaev in UFC.

There are a lot of boxers and now MMA fighters in Brazil indeed that is why there are many Brazilian in the UFC and any MMA sports events, like the Rodolfo Bellato and Victor Petrino, well this fight is a rematch for these two and on the 1st fight Victor Petrino won via KO/TKO with just 1 shot and in just 25 seconds Petrino defeated Bellato but I think Rodolfo Bellato is a different fighter now that is why I like to see how much he improved,

Another one is Gabriel Bonfim surely has a lot of experience but Trey Waters surely is a must-watch fight and the lightweight fight between Ismael Bonfim and Nariman Abbasov, and the fighting kitten Tereza Bledá,

Lot of fighters from Brazil this week and main event could be interesting in Lightheavyweight division.
Dana White is always looking to add new blood and that heavyweight Jimmy Lawson VS Kevin Szaflarski could be good KO fight.
Szaflarski is much taller, has reach advantage and more fights in his carrier.

Here are the next Dana White's Contender Series surely I want to know who's going to be new and will be next to get the contract,

All information was from TAPOLOGY

From his recent posts all I only see is that he spammed his links everywhere, and I wouldn't so much trust results shown there.
It's better to use proven and tested websites like Flashcore that have everything you need, and you can also use Tapology website for live MMA results:

You own this website? If we could also filter by MMA organization, that would be nice.

Here is the result of my picks yesterday, for the Dana White Contender Series 2022: Week 6

Yusaku Kinoshita VS José Henrique ROUND 3 KO/TKO - WIN

This TKO is so superb it was in the 3rd round but in their early rounds both men are giving their all and pretty much Yusaku Kinoshita is dominating the fight, that punch just went straight to Jose Henrique's face that surely hurt him, even though he has countered it Yusaku Kinoshita indeed have a durable chin, that has to withstand those punches and earning him the UFC contract,

Matěj Peňáz VS Sedriques Dumas ROUND 1 SUBMISSION - WIN

Sedriques Dumas doesn't hesitate going straight to Matej Penaz and to give him one punch and then a takedown, indeed Penaz has a guard and was about to stand up but Dumas was locking his head to a Guillotine it was a standing Guillotine that Penaz could not get out the power of Dumas hold was really impressive so he gets his UFC Contract,

Viktoriya Dudakova VS Maria Silva ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

Pretty much it was a win for my Fighting Kitten Viktoriya Dudakova, pretty much she got many points and was dominating the fight even though it was a decision win, she still gets the UFC contract so congrats to the Fighting kitten Viktoriya Dudakova,

in 10 days the next ksw event will take place. and this time there will finally be a fight for the heavyweight belt - in the cage the champion from england Philip De Fries (7-0-0) and the german-brazilian Ricardo Prasel (2-0-0) will face each other.
all other fights you can see in the graphic

On the September 23 we are having Bellator 285.



You can find detailed information about the card on Sherdog (I see no reason posting whole card here, as I am not familiar with most of the fighters, but if you know someone cool from it, would gladly take a closer look on him). There are two fights I am interested watching: Peter Queally vs Benson Henderson and Yoel Romero vs Melvin Manhoef. Henderson is a former UFC lightweight champ, but Romero and Manhoef are just interesting to watch.

we are having a Contender Series 2022: Week 6 today, and maybe it can be a remarkable one,

Yusaku Kinoshita VS José Henrique

A middleweight fight and a great addition to the Middleweight division, Yusaku Kinoshita can have a ground game but I sure don't know if it is decent enough but José Henrique got a decent record and most of them are KO/TKO, or his opponent having to retired, but I would go with the more well-rounded fighter and for me, that is Yusaku Kinoshita,

Matěj Peňáz VS Sedriques Dumas

Another middleweight fight, and pretty much looks like a decent one aswell, for me Sedriques Dumas is likely a well-rounded one, but I am not so sure because this is the first time seeing him fight, and I am just relying on their stats, Matěj Peňáz has a decent striking giving his background on muay Thai, but Sedriques Dumas is a freestyle that is why I think he is a more well rounded than Penaz, so my pick will be Sedriques Dumas,

Viktoriya Dudakova VS Maria Silva

Fighting Kitty Spotted, for this fight, Maria Silva got a more experience with pro fights, but given Viktoriya Dudakova is a good advantage over her height and reach and for me, she surely got a chance, both women can take the fight on the ground but I am not familiar with their stand-up, but for this fight, I am going with the Fighting Kitty Viktoriya Dudakova to win this,

Yup!  Good call...  He made the right adjustments and had his strikes and leg kicks hitting the mark.  The first fight it looked like DJ couldn't find the right distance.  And after watching the match, you just have to wonder why did the UFC agree to trade DJ for Askren.    It was def not a good deal in hindsight.  Imagine if DJ was still in the mix at 125 in the UFC.  He'd be going against Fig, Moreno, KKF and the rest of those guys.

I watched both events and I found ONE FC 160 a lot better than ONE FC on Prime.

Well, Demetrious Johnson gets his revenge even though he still has the same problem with Adriano Moraes with the Height, and reach but he surely stood up and shows that he is the one worthy of that belt, right now Demetrious Johnson doesn't count so much on takedowns because of the height and weight advantage of Moraes, but he is now capitalizing with his feints that he can control Adriano Moraes movement with only feints, that is why Adriano Moraes doesn't know what to do with Demetrious Johnson anymore, for getting up feints for him he is already controlling the fight,


It was a great fight Demetrious Johnson is just playing with his feints, while Adriano Moraes is just curious about what he is going to do, he never realized that he was the puppet of the puppeteer, but in the 1st round Adriano Moraes was the dominant because of his height and reach and Demetrious Johnson was just giving his all in stimulating his movements to Moraes so in the later rounds he could be controlled by Demetrios Johnson's feints that got the mighty mouse an uppercut and the flying knee landed on Moraes that cause that Knock out,

Well pretty much ONE FC is that generous to its fighters unlike uncle Dana White who's taking most of the money while giving just a small amount to his fighters, I think ONE really knows the danger involved in this kind of combat sport that is why they are repaying their fighters with the amount of money they deserve,

Here is the video of knee knockout https://youtube.com/shorts/1nLBMIXJ-Go. I was busy and skipped that event, but watch some short videos on the Instagram. I looked that Demetrious won so easily, in a playful manner. But it turned out they were fighting for 4 rounds and Moraes was dominating in the beginning.

I did not know that ONE FC is so generous with their bonuses. They gave 50k to Demetrious Johnson, Nong-O Gaiyanghadao, Panpayak Jitmuangnon, Marcus Almeida and Superlek Kiatmuu9. Same amount UFC give as a bonus.

I said Demetrious Johnson is going to win this time, but this was spectacular KO win!
If you didn't watch this One championship event you can watch lead card on youtube and main event that was strange mostly stand-up fight:

Extra information: UFC fans knows about ref Herb Dean and he is going to work in ONE from now on.

Results for the fight on One Championships

ONE Championship 160: Le vs. Tang

Rae Yoon Ok VS Christian Lee ROUND 2 KO/TKO - WIN

Right now Christian Lee is not aiming for those takedowns I guess Rae Yoon Ok has been readying his defense for those takedowns, but Christian Lee this time has taken the fight on the stand-up this fight should be finished in the 1st round but Ok Rae Yoon have hangout to dear life until the 2nd round and on the 2nd round he looks hobbled enough for Christian Lee to deliver the finishing knee to him,

Thanh Le VS Kai Tang ROUND 5 DECISION - LOST

It was war seeing these two fight but pretty much Kai Tang has landed so many heavy strikes on Thanh Le to get that reaction in nearly knockout, and Thanh Le left leg was damaged and you can see that his movement was limited but surely it was a great fight for a co-main event to be like this but surely that leg damage has cause Thanh Le to lost against Kai Tang,

Paul Elliott VS Martin Batur ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN

I thought this fight was finished in the 1st round because Paul Elliott knocks down Martin Batur but Batur recovered instantly and try to clinch on Elliott, but because Batur have let Paul Elliott do his thing on him because of that sudden knock down now Elliott is gas out and has been easily taken down by Batur and do the ground and pound on Elliott turning the tables on Paul Elliott it was a big come back,


ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson 2

Adriano Moraes VS Demetrious Johnson ROUND 4 KO/TKO - LOST

I really thought that Adriano Moraes was dominating Demetrious Johnson, until the 2nd round, but Johnson was a sturdy dude to crack, that Moraes in the 4th round seen has slowed down and was out of gas, that was the time Demetrious Johnson landed a punch that causes Moraes to be out balanced and then he delivers a knee to the face that causes Moraes to be knockout cold,

Nong-O Gaiyanghadao VS Liam Harrison ROUND 1 KO/TKO - LOST

It was a crushing defeat for Liam Harrison and the Muay Thai Leg kicks were so powerful that it was really crushing Harrison, I should not underestimate Nong-O Gaiyanghadao, and the fight lasted for just 1 round,


Superlek Kiatmoo9 VS Walter Goncalves ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN

Superlek is so much chill inside the ring he doesn't mind at all that 1st knockout on Goncalves he is just standing and waiting for his opponent to stand, and when the 2nd elbow touches Walter Goncalves for the 2nd time it was all over, the name Superlek and that 9 on his last name really is legality to his strength,

Diandra Martin VS Amber Kitchen ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST

Amber Kitchen, in the first round, was really something for me she won that 1st round she is on the advantage in that round but something is off on her in the progressing rounds or maybe she is gas out because her movement was getting slower for me she is still the winner

No I didn't watch it, but I am watching their youtube channel highlights and hoping they will broadcast live Adriano Moraes vs Demetrious Johnson.
My bet is on Johnson to win this rematch and he is light underdog, so odds are not bad at all.
There is no UFC or Bellator events this week, so One mainevent is best we can watch now.
