^ Love them or hate them all we should care about is that the fighters throw leather and for the UFC to put up good match ups for us to put some action on. The day that stops happening is the day the UFC starts losing its competitive edge. It's just too bad there's no MMA organization that comes close to the UFC and really compete vs the UFC. Dana White is setting the bar up for everybody else.
Do you happen to know, if Bellator, One, PFL or other promotions has contracts with any crypto? Like crypto.com with UFC, gambling casino stake with Adesanya and etc.
I didn't hear about something like this, but I know individual fighters are allowed to have contracts with any sponsors they want in all other MMA competitions outside UFC.Hard to believe in this, as UFC likes to monopolize or control everything. Recently I've seen a post here, where Francis Ngannou could have signed a contract with Coinbase, but since UFC has signed contract with crypto.com, Ngannou has lost 1 million. If not mistaken, many UFC fighters have lost a lot of sponsorship contracts, when UFC signed contract with Reebok. I think you remember how cool looked all these bad boy and venum shorts, cool DeathClutch t-shirts with skulls. Now everyone are forced to wear boring Reebok costumes.

I didn't hear about something like this, but I know individual fighters are allowed to have contracts with any sponsors they want in all other MMA competitions outside UFC.PFL event is kicking off in few hours with great main event fight in heavyweight category between Bruno Cappelozza and Stuart Austin.
MMA fans should start watching prelims with some great fight like Ante Delija who is training with legendary Mirko Crocop, and he is fighting with Matheus Scheffel.
Both Cappelozza and Delija are heavy favorites and odds for them are very low, but surprises are always possible in MMA sport.

What is the difference, despite there is one extra fight on wiki (Davy Gallon vs. Benjamin Brander) ? Both wiki and tapology differ from Bellators card
There is no Lorenzo Larkin vs Kyle Steward fight, which makes wiki more close to original 
Favorites are almost always really favorites and win the match.
That is a disadvantage
As a chance of "wtf was that?" and upset is low. That make whole rooster less competitive, when you that this guy definitely gonna win that guy. This turns Bellator to boxing heavyweight, when there were Tyson Fury era, Klitschko era, Mike Tyson era and etc. Dont forget, that on May 6 there will be Bellator 280.
Why is it worth watching? There are two reasons. Title fight between Ryan Bader and Cheick Kongo. Both are from UFC, where both showed good results. This is going to be their second fight, as first fight ended by no contest after an eye poke. Second reason - ageless Romero will face Manhoef, who usually shows an impressive performance.
And you can find the rest of the card on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellator_280.

Yeah, it should be worth watching. It's good cos the UFC is happening the next day.
And I prefer Bellator instead of LFA which is usually shown at the same time. And Bellator usually gives easy parlay pieces as the fights at the lower level are usually mismatched. Favorites are almost always really favorites and win the match. Unlike in the UFC where there's a lot of parlay pie shitters. Lol.Anyway use this instead if Wiki.

I think Romero would win. Manhoef is more striker, than universal fighter. He is an explosive fighter with limited tank. If the fight goes to distance, statistics shows that Manhoef most likely loose. Romero is very good at wrestling, and only once in his career lost via KO. I think he will counter every Manhoef attack, turn this fight to ground and TKO his opponent, on win by decision.

It's worth watching this Bellator event, and I want to see if Romero will do something after losing at his debuting fight in Belaltor.He is 44 year old and I think it's time for him to retire, but Melvin Manhoef is one year older than him, so it wil lbe intersting fight of veterans.
Big news for ONE Championship, they signed five year deal with Amazon, that is minimum 12 annual events to be streamed on Prime Video.
Exact dates are not yet announced, but I think recent win from Demetrious Johnson in mixed rules fight influenced this deal, and new mixed-rules fights are announced from One.

And I didn't notice that we have two Bellator events back to back. Lol. The UFC should do something like it.
I didn't have time this weekend to watch any Bellator fights but I see that Juliana Velasquez lost her first fight in professional MMA carrier against Liz Carmouche.What I missed is that Cyborg was fighting on other card Bellator 279 and she won again, but I don't think UFC will do something like this.
There was no big names that would attract my attention, but I think next event will be much more interesting to watch with big names coming back.
Note to self on making parlays with huge favorites in low level match ups with records looking something like 1 - 0, 0 - 1, 0 - 0: Stay away. Lmao. Got burned a couple of times and the other one being at the UFC.
But overall, they're good doing it at Bellator events. Just avoid the ones with lines at 1.05 or something. They don't add any more value to the parlay and you're taking the risk of something dumb happening. You just never know.

^ The Swede girl Smilla Sundell was pretty good. I mean at only 17 and getting the W the way she did vs a seasoned Muay Thai fighter in Jackie Buntan. Wow... I don't think I ever saw someone break Buntan's face like that. I wasn't really interested in ONE's Muay Thai and kickboxing circuit but I'm a fan now of Sundell. Can't wait for her next match.

Betting tip for Bellator events. Parlay the favorites. Happening more than not, the fights are mismatches esp at the lower level.

Well, you were correct on giving Collard an advantage. I mean, he is no shlump, but damn, Stephens is on a serious losing streak. Maybe some things need to be rethought.
He is getting older but more important that he had a lot of fights in his carrier, and that can catch up on fighters later in life.Maybe he hoped that changing of organizations will help him to shake things up with weaker fighters, but we can see that in MMA you can always lose one more time.
We are now is busy MMA midweek, with ONE Championship event starting soon, and it's always interesting to watch this for free on youtube.
This time we have some fighters from Europe in main event with Regian Eersel vs Arian Sadikovic fighting for Welterweight Championship belt in kickboxing.

And AJ McKee... Was his win at the first fight just a fluke? Would like to see a third match up. Pitbull had a good game plan and went with it nicely.
So many factors can come into play here, but Pitbull sticking to a good game plan is something I would expect from a seasoned veteran like he is. Also, and I really hate bringing that argument up, but maybe Pitbull just had a mental slippage in the first fight and just got caught sort of speaking. A 5 round full fight is a better indicator of where their levels stand at. This is more in the lines I was expecting in the first fight tbh.
Yup true. I'm hearing AJ McKee doesn't want to have a third fight and he's thinking of going up in weight class at 155. You think he's dodging Pitbull or is he just trying to play mind games? I think he doesn't have to play mind games as the third fight will always be there for him since he won the first match real quick.
Anyway, I missed the PFL. Was the main event good? I've seen meme saying it was a nail biter if you had money on Collard.
Edit: ONE event on Friday.

After longer break we are finally having regular fight card later today in PFL MMA promotion.
Main event is in lightweight category between Clay Collard and Jeremy Stephens, and some people will recognize both of them as ex UFC fighters.
This is going to be first fight in PFL for Jeremy Stephens after he lost five of his last fights in UFC.
I am going to give slight advantage to Collard, he is younger in better form and has reach advantage, but anything could happen.
Other fighters from this card I don't know very well but we could always see new rising star in this fights.

Besides those two, we also had Oliver Aubin-Mercier and Cara de Sapato (and some other maybe less known names from the UFC), both former UFC fighters and both actually doing quite well in their PFL runs so far. The full results are as follows:

Bellator Lightweight champion Patricio Pitbull is now calling for cross promotional match against Rizin LW champion with interesting name Roberto Satoshi.
He said that he wants to see some of his students fighting for Rizin, and I would love to see happening more often with cross promotional fights.
Maybe we could see Champions of Bellator, UFC, One FC compete in some joined super tournaments.

Lol. Good surname. A fighter with the surname Wright would suit him as an opponent )
I would love to watch such super tournaments, it's a good idea. The question is what rules to conduct them - some leagues have minor differences, and some are more significant. It is unlikely that athletes will be happy to participate in fights that are not according to the rules to which they are accustomed.
I forgot to post the results the other day, so here they are:
Arron Pico is on a mean win streak. I remember his first fight, he was so hyped and his loss was, I would say, really mocked, however, he has really hyped his game since, and I remember a couple of nasty TKOs (the body punch one springs to mind). And he's only 25 yo, so he still has some time in this game.

The result sucked for Corey Anderson with the match ending in a no contest instead of going to the score cards as a couple of rounds has already passed. The head butt wasn't intentional. The rematch would have Anderson as a 1.65 favorite or lower. He exposed Nemkov.

on april 23 the ksw 69 event will take place in the polish capital warsaw. this time there will be only 8 duels instead of the obligatory 9 fights.
in the main fight for the ksw bantamweight championship the polish cage fighter Sebastian Przybysz (9-2-0) will meet the georgian Zuriko Jojua (8-1-0).

The fight between Przybysz and Jojua can be very interesting. It will definitely be very even. I hope it will be at a time when I can watch and I find a stream
There is one thing that surprises me. It looks like it is Jojua first fight in this federation and he has already got the fight for the champion belt?
