I like morning Coffee so much actually, but yeah this is going to be a great watch as well and it seems that there is a change to the fights you have posted, and that is the canceled bouts and the changed opponent bouts, this is why we check the TAPOLOGY site more than the wiki ones, thanks to tokeweed for the site but I got you covered,

Changed Opponents Bout

• Patricky Pitbull vs. Sidney Outlaw - Pitbull Injury Changed to Tofiq Musayev
• Adam Piccolotti vs. Tofiq Musayev - Musayev to Co-Main Event
• Vladimir Tokov vs. Justin Montalvo - Tokov Withdrew Changed to Archie Colgan
• Justin Montalvo vs. Archie Colgan - Montalvo Withdrew Changed to Bryan Nuro

Cancelled Bouts

• Kai Kamaka III vs. Akhmed Magomedov - Magomedov Withdrew
• Ethan Hughes vs. Kevin Hand - Unknown Reason
• Viktor Nemkov vs. Jose Augusto Azevedo - Nemkov Injury

The Funny thing here is the Vladimir Tokov VS Justin Montalvo fight after Tokov withdrew but was changed to Justin Montalvo VS Archie Colgan then Montalvo withdrew and change the fight to Bryan Nuro, I don't know why fighters keep withdrawing from a fight because it is not indicated,

We have Bellator 283 this weekend.

I dont want to suggest you to watch whole event, but try googling Lima and Nurmagomedov fights on Sunday, maybe you will find something worth spending time while drinking morning coffee

Well, maybe these two are cursed to see each other inside the ring, but many are surely wishful they can have a glimpse of the Tony Ferguson VS Khabib Nurmagomedov fight that will be sponsored by someone, I am sure curious to see now, back then I am not expecting these fight but if I can see Khabib Nurmagomedov fight again why not, or even in an exhibition only match as long as these two are involved, why not but I really doubt Tony Ferguson will have a chance on Khabib on the ground because for me Khabib Nurmagomedov will just steamroll Ferguson for sure,


Well, I am just curious about your life and what really happened between you and the social media thing, I guess Social media or the internet can be bad if used wrongfully but if used in the right could bring happiness and contentment and every people has their own experience to such things it just happens that you are in a harsh spot that is al, but I am glad that you really overcome it,

Anyway, you can surely ask us about what link is very useful or can get you tons of information about a given event, fighters, and upcoming match we are glad to comply,


About Umar Nurmagomedov, I think he has potential and just like Khabib has said Umar Nurmagomedov has fast lightning kicks but if he mixed it with boxing it could be a perfect combination, and he is also well-balanced and well-rounded in his ground game aswell, I really like is kicks and just like Yair Rodriguez I think Umar Nurmagomedov can also do unusual kicks as Yair can do, but that is for him to be well rounded in some aspect,

the fights/duels for the upcoming ksw 72 event are now also fixed.
and with the cage fight between croatian Sara Luzar-Smajić and polish Emilia Czerwińska there will again be a female duel.

Both brothers Usman and Umar Nurmagomedov are direct cousins of Khabib Nurmagomedov and I think they have advantage and open doors in UFC.
Umar is already in UFC he has a perfect 15-0 record but he is currently fighting in Bantamweight division.
Usman fights in Bellator currently and he is few years younger than Makhachev, but I see nothing wrong in both of them being in same division of UFC, and let the best man win.

Exactly. UFC already has Makhachev, and so far they dont need another "unbeatable guy from Dagestan that will make noise in division". I bet if or when Islam Makhachev becomes a champion, he and Khabib will try to talk and push on Dana and try to force him to sign Umar. By the time Umar joins title race, Makhachev will retire and together with Khabib, they will help Umar to become a champ. It will like a Abdulmanap legacy - 3 UFC champions out of one gym. Or this is just my fantasy

Chris Gonzalez is a really strong opponent and will be a challenge in the feet as he finished his last opponent with strikes and has a background in wrestling and hence it will be an interesting fight. The reason Usman Nurmagomedov did not sign with the UFC is because he fights in 155 pound division and they have Islam Makhachev coming up the ranks in the 155 pound division and to avoid that clash they took the wise decision to join Bellator and hopefully later in his career once Islam Makhachev retires he will make his debut in the UFC.

Big news are coming for MMA in next months, PFL is preparing their big Europe debut in 2023, but warmups for this will be next month with two playoff events.
First qualifier fights will be in Cardiff on August 13 and second in London on August 20.

For Bellator 283 that is coming next weekend Usman Nurmagomedov finally got strong opponent Chris Gonzalez like he asked.
Nurmagomedov has perfect 14-0 record and I am sure he can be in fight for the tile of Lighweight division in Bellator.
It's strange that Dana White didn't snatch him to UFC already.

When I was a kid, I had a VHS cassette with MMA fight. I am not sure that it was exactly UFC fight, but I remember some skinny guy in kimono was trying to choke much bigger guy. Both of them were lying on the canvas. Big guy was lying on a skinny guy and trying to crush him, while skinny was in a weird position for choking, yet still trying to do it. Big guy had huge neck, skinny guy small hand and had not enough strength to put enough pressure on a neck They lied down like this for 15 or 20 minutes, doing little action. Sort of 2 men sleeping one on other in the ring In the end small guy managed to choke big guy.

That was hell of a boring fight. I would give "-10" points of entertainment on the scale of 0 to 10. If I was a spectator of this fight in the venue, I would have called for a refund. I am so glad MMA fight now have time limits and ref can give yellow cards for no action and put both fighter in stance fighting for no activity in parter.

I think that must have been when I first started watching because I do somehow have a memory of those fights taking a lot of time and lasting much much longer. But I think the modern version is more fun, faster as a result and no protection on those who like to take the fights longer,,, though at the same time you do miss sitting down and watching a very long fight.

Thank you for all your answers and help everyone,,, much appreciated.

I think nowadays all the MMA fights are 3*5min or 5*5min with standard rules. Back in the beginning of 2000, and outside the US (first UFC events has sort of a 30 or 35min rounds), there were MMA tournaments, when fighters needed to win 3 fight during one evening to take the prize. Or in Japan there were MMA fights with rules, when no ground game is allowed in first round, and starting from second round you can fight what ever you want (I think if was made to make fights last longer and be more entertaining).

Haha ya ok I took a quick look and he writes like a teenager who wants attention,,, but I bet you most of those tweets are not even done by himself but by his social account manager. That is how it works these days right?

Still, I would like to see him get one more big fight, maybe with different rules like last man standing submission/KO only. Do they have such events?

Nicer?! Anyone can pretend to be nice.
Check out his twitter account and all the stupid things he is saying all the time when he gets drunk or on drugs.
Back to his fighting skills, he lost most of his recent fights, except win against washed up old Donald Cerrone who has even worse record and he is now retired.

I never saw any other 'businessman' in MMA that is disrespecting other human being and all of his family members, dead and alive.
I don't know if he is good or bad, but I know he acts like lowlife drunk junky all the time.

Interesting all Brazillian LFA 136 event Rio de Janeiro vs São Paulo is starting in few days, and maybe some new youngfighter will appear.
If you have UFC Fight Pass you can watch this event live.

^  I remember there was a time when McGregor was still doing well at 145, he was somewhat all praise for Khabib who was just a prospect at the time.  He even predicted that Khabib would become a champ at 155 one day, which he did.  But little did we know it was going to be those two having a bitter rivalry.  And that's an understatement.  It's an all out war between those two camps until now.

Anyway here are a couple of events outside the UFC that could be worth keeping an eye on.

ONE Championship 159:  De Ridder vs. Bigdash

Bellator 283:  Lima vs. Jackson

Your post is totally wrong my friend

McGregor made jokes about Khabibs father, while he was still alive. But when Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov passed away from covid, McGregor has send his condolences. McGregor made fun not only of Khabibs father, but also his wife. Because Muslim women cover their faces, he has told that Khabib is married to a blanket or a rug. He has even made fun out of Muslim nation...

Khabib and McGregor were never friends. When Khabib only joined UFC and McGregor was already a star there, Khabib made a picture with Conor. That is it.

Dont know where you have noticed McGregor becoming a good person. He is always using trashtalk to get into opponents head. Cant say that he is a bad person either. This is just business

I like this analogy  Someone told me also if you watch the kickboxing fights in our neighboring countries, the fights themselves last 10 to 15 minutes each, and that's half of that avoiding and moving around. But the 1-2 hours before is all about extended version, smaller fights non official, and both supporters talking shit and getting drunk!

So I get it


I think the Irish cartel thing is farfetched,,, basically anyone who made it out of some countries generations ago (Italy, Ireland, Hong Kong are some examples) of course have someone in the family who paid cartel services to help them move. It does not make them linked.

Anyway, I also think he has become 'nicer' than before, but that is my new impression!

I think this fight was clash of two opposite thinking-living, and UFC with Dana White just used their argument to pump it and promote it like crazy, earning a lot of money for all participants.
Both Khabib and McGregor truly disliked each other but it grow into big hate in later stages, but Khabib showed to be a bigger man, he retired on top and he kept respect from all MMA community.
McGregor is now just washed away average fighter that only earns money from fights only based on fights before Khabib, he has no more passion and he looks slower and weaker.

No he didn't become any better, drinking all the time he is the same lowlife like before, but nobody cares about him anymore.
There are some talks he is directly connected with mafia cartel in Ireland, and he made some stupid tweets when Khabib was introduced in UFC Hall of Fame.

Lol I'll never forget with McGregor trash talk to Khabib during their hype before the fight, McGregor even making a joke about Khabib's father who have been passed away, it doesn't good to make a joke for a person who passed away, but if you view in different perspective it's actually funny. McGregor even met Khabib on Las Vegas and become a friend, even it's doesn't last longer.

However McGregor is already become more good person after his lose against Khabib, I think he already learn and built his good character to become better person.

You got your point. My point was - for example the roots of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor conflict has started in twitter; from Artem Lobov posting shit about Khabib and Co. All the trash that McGregor was punished for has started in twitter. It was not because two fighters gonna fight and both showed on cameras how they hate each other. As MMA and UFC is more about entertainment, trash and promotion then fights, following fighters twitter accounts is like an addition to sport. Like a "directors cut" or "extra scenes" on DVD with a movie, if we draw parallels between MMA and movies.

Not so much bad experience just I realized it wasted a lot of my time and actually was not so helpful in finding out actual information,,, but specifically to crypto it even made me waste a lot of money, stress, time, no positive gains just a lot of wasted time. Since leaving social media my work life and personal improved a lot. I used to spend hours surfing and then got little sleep 

Thank you everyone for answering my questions of course.


I do not find that kind of thing entertaining,,, there is even more nonsense maybe for football which I watch and follow but the most I do is watch some viral meme sometimes if it is really funny or someone I like. I guess I see the team more than the individual but of course for MMA it is way different. I wonder if there are clicks that fighters are part of?
