Interesting news for coming from PFL MMA who made partnership with one crypto casino Bets.io!
This is strategic collaboration deal mostly for PFL Road to Africa project, but this means that Bets.io will have more betting options for MMA events.
I cant wait to see Francis Ngannou coming back to MMA with all other fighters from Africa.
On main page of Bets you can see PFL banner.

Are you going just to watch it live or place some bets also ? Cheesy

The event seems to be big and expected by many, but I with a quick search I did not manage to find any casino to place a bet on this event. 20k fans, but I have never heard of that promotion before. Even though their roster is international (https://oktagonmma.com/en/rankings/) I havent noticed any familiar name (any retired pride/ufc/bellator/cw guy). This promotion seems to be mostly local.

the oktagon 49 event has it all!
the #1 in the oktagon heavyweight rankings and #78 in the world, 'Boss' Hatef Moeil, meets the #2 in the rankings and #103 in the world, Lazar Todev - both cagefighters are unbeaten since 2018!
the highly regarded Christian Eckerlin, unbeaten for 6 years, will be fighting a tough fight after a year off. he will face the battle-hardened 'Apollo' Leandro Silva, who even defeated european mma masters finalist Bojan Veličković.
you can see all the other cage fights in the graphic

So Im going to see it live, I be there in 2 days

Apollo vs eckerlin, at least 20,000 people are waiting for this fight in the hall and even more in front of the TV at home. Apollo is not so famous in Germany, but he is a very good fighter and I think he even has an advantage over Eckerlin, who hasnt lost a fight in 6 years. Appolos stats are 27-11-1 (win-loss-draw) and Eckerlin 15-5-0. Both are almost the same age (36-38), they are only 2 years apart. it will be a great evening, and of course I hope that germany wins.

This case has certainly damaged the good reputation of the Nurmagomedov clan, which previously had truly great fighters and even always held champion titles in their respective classes.
I saw in my trusted news broadcast that there was an official response from Usman Nurmagomedov that the failure of the test was due to the presence of substances in the medicine he was taking and that the medicine was prescribed by doctor after he experienced health problems.
Usman mistake was that he did not notify the Athletic Commission or (CSAC) of this problem from the start.

But I haven't seen any clear news about whether he was actually stripped of his lightweight title belt or not because I haven't been able to find any developments.
This is quite serious problem for the Nurmagomedov family and especially for Usman himself.

You clearly mentions that Usman failed the drug test because he was taking medication, if that is the situation then how come the reputation of Nurmagomedov or his entire clan get questioned? Bellator is not having issues as they are aware of the medical situation he was undergoing during that period and even the commission is aware of the situation and yet they are giving a 6 month suspension.

Stupid rules, but rules are rules. Either you play the game like others, or sit on the bench. Its a professional sport, their work, where health is on scales. It does not make any difference if it is an aspirin or heavy anabolic steroid. Consulate with doctors and your promotion officials.

What they really need is to update the list of substances that are specific only to use for boosting the body and exclude those medicines that are not from it. This is not an easy matter but they really need to consider doing it this way or when they have a new fighter, they need to make sure that he is clean from any of those substances and give him the list of medicines that he could only take while being signed to them. Because this kind of rule will always waste the fighter's opportunity to have a fight and to reach their goals as soon as possible.

P.S. I've checked this case in google. They did not take his belt, but he is still on 6months suspension.

I think it is a huge hit on Nurmagomedov family - CSAC suspends Bellator champ Usman Nurmagomedov for failed drug test; win over Brent Primus overturned. As I understand, Urmar right now is no longer Bellator lightweight champion. Originally he won a fight and defended title. But on November 11 test results appeared. Now he faces a suspension, a fine and a mark on Nurmagomedov family. Even though could be a mistake during testing, the social media has already started pumping that.

I am not sure if they really stripped him from title and there is some suspicious things about this test.
He was sick and he used medication prescribed by his doctor that have this substance, and I am sure he was not using anything to improve performance because he doesnt need this.
Evidence was provided and only mistake was made because he didnt ask for exemption.
Stupid rules.

Well, it wasnt mentioned, but he gonna face 6 to 24 month suspension. Plus add some time for a deeper investigation and double testing. I really doubt that Bellator just gonna wait for end of suspension and let them have a rematch, or pause their current tournament because of that.

I always find it strange when a professionals of such level are so irresponsible towards documents, medicine and etc. Usman said that he took medicine but did not warn athletic commission. I always find it strange, when you earn so much, when stakes are so high, and you use some third party doctors and medicine. I am sure that Bellator has their own docs, they can give at least a consultation.

While I am waiting for UFC event to start I was checking other upcoming MMA events and I saw Bellator has interesting one coming next week.
Lot of great fights and two of them for championship titles in Welterweight and Bantamweight divisions.
I really want to see Sergio Pettis against Patchy Mix, both of them have great results recently but there can be only one on top.

Another Bellator champion Usman Nurmagomedov just got suspended for 6 months and $50,000 after failing a drug test!

Big credits to Francis Ngannou after amazing performance in boxing fight against Tyson Fury.
Now he and his team want to get back into MMA and they are calling UFC and PFL to set egos aside and make this super fight a reality.
I would really want to see this fight but Jones is injured and he has Stipe Miocic in schedule.
PFL did fantastic thing with Ngannou signing, Dana White is going down slowly Grin

(...) and this week I am watching only Fury vs Ngannou boxing fight.

I have mixed feelings about this one. I like Fury, he's quite a character, but it's clearly just a pure money fight, with Ngannou having no chance of winning, unless Fury comes completely unprepared.
Fury is rumoured to get paid $50 million and Ngannou $10 million for that fight. If that's true, that's far more than what he could ever get for a single UFC fight. Pretty wise move from his manager. Given his already 37 years old, he can't ignore such opportunities and he's got nothing to lose.

Now that we are clear with the Juicy UFC 294 I think we are ready for a new event with the MMA for sure and this is on this upcoming Friday

Sorry but I dont know who this guys are and this week I am watching only Fury vs Ngannou boxing fight.
From another interesting news Jake Paul has agreed to fight against Nate Diaz in PFL, and Diaz has good chances with MMA rules.
I dont know exact date but I want to see that fight.

This is one many would like to see since their last fight right at the end Nate tried to pull a guillotine on him.
I would imagine many would like to see what would happen to Paul if they didn't have those boxing gloves on.
It is only fitting to happen since Diaz agreed to fight on his terms and now Paul would be fighting on his.

PFL is the only way to go with this one since Nate retired from the UFC and Jake wants nothing to do with Dana and his company even though his brother Logan is performing in the WWE which is technically the same company as the UFC now due to the merger.

Khabib retired way too soon, IMO. After beating everyone in the division, I was really hoping that a super fight between him and GSP would happen.

He won everything he could, and what would be the point in fighting a much older guy who is out of shape and have severe health issues?
I am sure he would beat him as well and anyone else in his division, so only real test for him would be going to higher division to fight the bigger guys.
Maybe some of his cousins will continue in his steps, Usman Nurmagomedov is best candidate.

I respect Khabib even more now after I see how other fighters are having hard time finishing their carrier.
One of the reasons some of this guys continue to fight even in older age is they probably want to earn more money, and I can understand that if they have to feed their family and pay the bills.
Maybe Pudzianowski should think about training other fighters or something else connected with his strongman caarrier.

Khabib retired way too soon, IMO. After beating everyone in the division, I was really hoping that a super fight between him and GSP would happen. But the moment is gone now.
Pudzianowski's motivation is definitely not just money. He actually owns a successful truck cargo company, a school for bodyguards, and invests in real estate. For him, and many others, it's just the drive to compete. If you've been doing it your entire life and you get fame, recognition and respect, it's hard to just let it go and call it a day.
