And I’m not sure if Russia has a large market for MMA tho or if they care about those guys. And if they’re competing against the UFC, Bellator, LFA, etc in the US market, Khabib is gonna have a hard time.

^ It’s actually smart of Khabib to get those guys in there for some name value and get some fans interested... Before he feeds them to unknown Dagestani killers.

And Khabib Nurmagomedov did hire controversial Diego Sanchez for is Eagle FC promotion, but I hope without his ex coach-guru-manager Joshua Fabia
Sanchez is planned to fight in March in interesting fight with Kevin Lee, and my early bet is all on Kevin Lee to win this fight.
I don't think that Sanchez is fully ready to fight any time soon, he didn't have any training and he was seriously sick for a very long time.
Rashad Evans vs Gabriel Checco is scheduled for end of January.
I am starting to follow Eagle FC competition much more seriously now, and I still can't find their website, can anyone help with that?

They have been, in their own right and time, however, they were MMA fighters. Ok, Belfort started out boxing and later transitioned to BJJ, and Rampage started out wrestling, but for the majority of their careers, they have been doing MMA, and now they are in a boxing match against boxers.
We can't really call this boxing because there are different rules and it's a different ring, most MMA fighters need to know boxing anyway.There is also kickboxing and Muay Thai that look similar but they are very different, and it is also called Thai boxing, they use legs and elbows I think, but it's also not MMA.
Triad Combat is claiming that this sport is in the middle between boxing and MMA, clinches are much different and you can punch someone from clinch.
There is overhook, half thai plum, waist cinch, all punches are allowed both from boxing and from mma.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that this is different. But, as I stated before, it all might be too much confusion for the average fight fan. But, there is no harm in trying and seeing what sticks, changing it up, and evolving through time. ONE have done their version promotion quite well and are pushing the boundaries a bit.

This is a good fight since those fighters are long gone in the UFC, we have a chance to see them back. though they are not in their primal form, we can assure that they will give a good fight since they've been known to be great fighters in their time, especially Rampage. I remember watching him beat his opponents when I was a kid. It's was such a great time back then. Now I might cheer for him and it might be his last fight.

I just don't get MMA fighters transitioning to boxing for a quick buck or two. I get that it's for money, but I just don't get it.

Yes we are going to see fighting again but not in familiar octagon cage and not in real MMA fight but in some mixed rules fighting against boxers.It's interesting concept and they hired some great fighters but I don't understand why creating such circus show with triangle rings and strange rules.
I don't think this new martial arts sport will ever be as popular as boxing or as real mma.
One interesting news for first MMA event in 2022 is that Invicta FC 45 will be Live streamed for free on Youtube, in January 12!
Invicta is all female fighters competition and this main event will be Alesha Zappitella vs Jessica Delboni for Atomweight championship belt.

Dunno... Kevin Lee could be thrown to the wolves imo. The Dagestani wolves.
Seriously tho, of what purpose is Kevin Lee gonna be in Eagle FC except to have Russian bros build there names by beating a once upon a time UFC contender. I mean smart move by Khabib but Kevin Lee will be nothing more than a stepping stool. I hope he got paid well.

Most probably just like that stool. It does look like they are making it a grand promotion in Maimi with Kevin Lee vs Khabib but after that, they are just lining up fighters who are not around for some time like Evans and Barao. Tyrone Spong is good though, he is a boxer and I think he can really show an entertaining fight.
This guy Tawil mentioned in the conference about metaverse and NFT https://youtu.be/N4Mb7rNK7-Y?t=1498 Can we also expect crypto.com shirt there?

Fuck finally Kevin Lee finds a home. Although I'd rather see him in ONE, hey, at least he won't have to travel out of the states that much. As for Kharitonov and Spong, both have similar backgrounds, but Kharitonov has so much more MMA experience, I don't think he will turn this into a kickboxing match, and I am not sure Spong has enough of MMA fights under his belt to really turn on the grappling (admittedly, Kharitonov is not a grappler per se, but he has a combat sambo background and that could be an issue for Spong)
It is now official signing of Kevin Lee and Khabib Nurmagomedov team and CEO CEO Rizvan Magomedov created new 165 pound division for Eagle FC.New signings are Rashad Evans and ex bantamweight champion Renan Barao who is fighting with Horacio Gutierrez in next EFC 44 event.

Ok, that's cool. Wasn't there talk about Diego Sanchez fighting for Eagle? I mean, maybe Diego should firstly sort out some things in his head before fighting again, but maybe that's a possibility. Khabig took a page out of uncle Dana's book and is firing on all cylinders. But the real business will start when and if relevant top fighters start transitioning from UFC to Eagle. Lee is a good catch, but more top names are needed.

Interesting MMA news coming from Khabib Nurmagomedov but this time from his Russian based MMA organization Eagle Fighting Championship EFC .
Khabib is open to signing Tony Ferguson and Cody Garbrandt for EFC and I think that Kevin Lee already signed for him.
Next event Eagle FC 44 is going to be held in United States, Miami, Florida, with main event Sergei Kharitonov vs Tyrone Spong.

One more One Championship event Winter Warriors II is starting in few days and I see some interesting fights to watch for FREE on youtube.
Main event is Danny Kingad vs Kairat Akhmetov but I never watched any of this fighters from Philippines and Kazakhstan.
I do recognize Kevin Belingon who is fighting with Won Il Kwon in co-main event, and interesting for me is lightweight category fight Vitaly Bigdash vs Rong Fan.

Latest MMA news are coming from PFL that announced multi-year partnership with fuboTV for Challenger Series events, and funny thing is that boxer Mike Tyson will be one of the judges.
I know Tyson was a great fighter but I don't think he knows enough about MMA rules that he can work as a judge, and other judges are some NFL players and influencers.
PFL Challenger Series is scheduled for February 2022 and fans with viewers will be able to vote for figthers:

Not just that he comes from a different discipline, but it's that he doesn't have any judging experience or training to be a judge at such a high level. I mean, he could go through the training and do his work and then judge some fights on the undercard, but I don't get what's the point to all of this. I don't get who's benefiting from this. Odd decision. But again, if they have NFL players and influencers as judges, I guess they don't care about the judging quality.

Dude, I hadn't realized until yesterday that Kevin Lee was released from the UFC. It seems they (the ufc) are just waiting to cut someone, trigger happy they are. Anyway, heard Lee might be heading out to OneFC? That seems like a good idea. He might as well try to make a name for himself in Asia. Hope he makes a turnaround.
Yes Kevin Lee was released from UFC and it was confirmed that he is not going to Bellator, but I am not sure if he is going to sign with One Championship or maybe Triad Combat will offer him more money. 
PFL is one more option but I don't even remember when they had last MMA event and there is nothing scheduled before 2022.
Actually, I heard that PFL is not interested in Lee? :O I don't know if that's just a rumor, but it could very well end up with him not going for an American promotion. I still hold ONE in higher regard than Bellator or PFL, but I can imagine how hard it is to travel to those fights (even though European, Asian, and South American fighters have been doing it for years). I am genuinely curious to see where he ends up.
