^  It is part of the package.  For around 10 bucks a month, you get to watch all cards of the Fight Night events live and all early prelim and prelim cards for PPV events except for the main card.  It's a good deal and it's like what..  the price of a couple of over priced hot cafe americanos from your favorite coffee shop.  Lol.

But yeah..  I'll prolly get my subscription reactivated again soon.  

And here are the results for the Road to UFC.  Semi finals and the finals dates and venue yet to be announced.  Maybe 'soon'.

^  Yeah it's in UFC Fight Pass if you have a subscription.  I got mine cancelled just a couple of months ago as I couldn't watch the events live lately.  Just some irl stuff going on that's making me a tad busy.  You could find live streams at Reddit tho if you don't want to get a subscription.  Lol.
I wouldn't pay anything to watch something like Road to UFC or Dana White Contender series, but it's ok if they are part of all UFC package.
I know easy way to find livestream for just about any sport events, but I have similar problem like you and I can't watch everything because I don't have time.
Whenever I miss some important MMA event I try to watch highlights or short clips with good fights.

Two Road to UFC are finished, so we have to more to go, andf I see lot of winners are from China, Korea and Japan.
Lot of MMA action this week, and one more event we have tomorrow is Cage Warriors 139 Bailey vs. Trinidad.

in less than a week, more precisely on 18.06. the next ksw gala will take place in torun, poland.
This heavyweight fight looks interesting, but I don't know most of the fighters on this fight card.

besides the co-main event where Marcin Rozalski (7-4 mma), the former ksw heavyweight champ, will once again step back into the ksw arena and will face kickboxing legend Errol Zimmerman (103-13 kickboxing) in a special mixed rules bout, there will also be the fight for the ksw lightweight title between the defending champion Marian Ziolkowski (24-8-1) and Sebastian Rajewski (12-6)

And the prelims at least have a betting market for us to drop some bets on.  The Road to the UFC events are just for watching.  Alone it's meh but watching it with friends over beers could be fun.

This looks cool..  Since UFC 275 is going to be in Singapore, the UFC organized a couple of tournaments for fighters located around Asia.  The winner of each tourney gets a contract in the UFC.
I saw this but I was not sure where exactly to post information about this fights.
This is something like Dana White Contender series, but this time it is all connected with upcoming UFC event, something like pre-prelims  Cheesy
I don't know if they are going to broadcast this live for free or they going to charge for this as well?

I think Khabib just want to rent Fedor Emelianenko for few fights in EFC Cheesy He has already promised, that he will try to organize JDS fight against Fedor. While making this post, I tried to remember, who is in heavy weight division in EFC, and it turns out it is hard to find their fighters roster. JDS, De Castro, Kharitonov (or he was more a guest fighters than a EFC fighter?), Spong (he is more LH). That is it?
Latest news from Fedor Emelianenko is saying that he doesn't want to have have against Junior Dos Santos in some mixed promotion fight, because he lost his last fight with Yorgan De Castro in Eagle FC.
Dos Santos lost last five of his matches so I would agree with Fedor that he needs better stronger opponent, because he won last two of his fights and he is in very good form.
De Castro, Kharitonov are in heavyweight category in Eagle FC, Rizvan Kuniev is a champion, but I can't find their full list of fighters anywhere.

To me the main problem of Ivan Erslan is that he fight mostly against locals. No doubt that fighters from Poland and Croatia are strong. But what will he do against BJJ guys from Brazil ? Erslan fight usually ends quick via TKO/KO. Is he ready to fight a guy who knows 1001 way to make a submission from any position? UFC is full with such guys. I think Erslan can compete well against UFC strikers, but guy that have belt in wrestling and BJJ will his main problems.
He is training in American Top Team Zagreb and they have biggest skilled fighters there, so don't worry about that.
It's just a myth that UFC has superman fighters with super powers and some cross promotion would prove that very easy.
I heard Khabib is talking with Bellator owner and they are thinking about creating something like this.

As a fan of strongman, I always take notice when Pudz is fighting Cheesy I just can't believe they are still spinning him as the former world's strongest man XD It's been 12 years since that XD Anyway, two of my somewhat local fighters had a spot on the card and they did well. I had a chance to train a bit with Francisco Barrio and he is an amazing wrestler and strong as an Ox. Glad to see him win.
I didn't watch any of the fights on that card, but I am not surprised that Pudzianowski won, and that was great for anyone who placed on him as big underdog.
Easy win in first round both for him and for Ivan Erslan in light heavyweight category, he could be one of the fighters to sign new contracts with UFC.
This is possible with only one defeat in his mma carrier and being 30 years old, with help of American Top Team Zagreb and Mirko Crocop.


Yeah, he's definatelly a prospect, and I get what you are saying, but I am not sure if throwing him into the UFC is a good thing just now. The bigest issue is money as fighters in this part of the world really struggle to financialy stay on top with all the expenses that come with a fight in the US (presumably as there are not many shows in Europe). Sure, sponsors are an option, but that might not be a longterm option and KSW makes more sense, atleast for a few more fights.

ONE 158 event is finished and I saw couple of nice KO's made with a perfect shoot and a kick in liver that created late reaction and shut down in opponents.
You can watch all fights with over five hours of action for free on their youtube channel, and you can find some of the best fights separately if you want:

As a fan of heavyweight division, I am amazed how many heavy people are there Cheesy

Pudz is an amazing man. 45 and still kicking asses Cheesy And I must say, he is quite good in fighting, for a man with such a weight and physics. First I thought he would be sort of a freak show fighter. Like Bob Sapp, Akebono, Yarborough (google that guy lol), Hong Man Choi or Butterbean. But he has got good stamina, which is weird, because he must be dead after few minutes of action. And some fighting skills.

^  Yup.  I'll be happy with whatever's on that's related to MMA or fighting.  I'd be open to watch some boxing if there was any good match ups.  Lol. 

There's also this event which looks kinda interesting because of the name value of the promoter's name.  I'm not sure if Faber really is the promoter tho or if the organization is just using his name.   Will look it up later.

https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/88046-urijah-faber-s-a1-combat-2-talbott-vs-dorado

The match ups are mostly low level...  Like looow level low, lower than the Contender Series.  But looks like it's going to he a fun watch.

This week we are taking a break in most MMA organization except Cage Warriors and KSW 70 event starting tomorrow with big heavyweight fight between legendary Mariusz Pudzianowski and Michał Materla.
Materla is a big favorite and he is much younger fighter, but Pudzianowski has big weight and reach advantage, so I think it's good to try betting in him as underdog.

I think this is going to be not last Eagle FC problem with fights. Eagle FC is full of veterans. You never know when they get injured. It is promotion duty to get this guys fixed. As the fighters getting old, their sores will remind themselves more often. It will be hard to plan card with veterans.

The best tactics for EFC is to let fresh blood fight veterans, get experience and become matured elite fighters. Fans go watch EFC only to see sound and popular names. If they wont build their own stars, when all veterans retires or get injured, EFC will go bankrupt.

I think Khabib is just trying to get everybody's attention by having all the ex UFC fighters in his roster and having them fight each other.  And it's not just the popular ones too like Kevin Lee or JDS.  The less popular ones who got cut from the UFC are in there too like Pitolo and Andrew Sanchez...  Then when the EFC finally reaches a milestone in ratings, he'll start feeding these ex UFC fighters to unknown Russian and Dagestani killers.  Cheesy  Lolol.

Anyway it's true tho.  I think the EFC is a lot better than Bellator.  If only EFC lines are made available by the bookies in crypto.

They have mix of younger and experienced older fighters, but injuries happen to all MMA fighters even much younger like it happened with Rakic knee in UFC recently.
They are all training very hard every day pushing their bodies to extreme levels, and dos Santos returned dislocated shoulder to it's place and he is not feeling any pain now, but he is going to take some recovery break.
