^  Now I do.  Lol.  Horiguchi was owning Pettis’s ass before lucking that fluke KO.  But I’ll take it!  Lolol.  I almost regretted betting for him but a win is a win.  Cheesy  I hope Pettis is lined the favorite because of it.  I will def fade him if his opponent is decent.  I think there’s gonna be another grand prix for Bellator bantam weight for 2022.

Watch the replay of the main event.

At first glance I think Pettis is a decent underdog, I like Scoggins and John De Jesus could be another decent underdog, Kamaka is taking the fight on short notice and has bad cardio.  Crutchmer and Carlyle lines look decent too.
I don't understand why Pettis is considered so big underdog in this fight and odds are very good on him to win, maybe this Horiguchi is some hidden karate gem but I  never saw him fight before.
Pettis is defending the belt, he has three inch reach advantage and he won last four of his fights.
Many MMA experts are also prediction Pettis will lose this fight but lets see what happens in few hours.

^  I think it’s hilarious.  Lol.

Anyway looking at the Bellator event, it really looks decent for MMA’s ‘B league’.  Could make a couple or so bets here.  At first glance I think Pettis is a decent underdog, I like Scoggins and John De Jesus could be another decent underdog, Kamaka is taking the fight on short notice and has bad cardio.  Crutchmer and Carlyle lines look decent too.

Here’s the roster for the event.

Edit:  I didn’t realize Kamaka was cut from the UFC.

Thinking about this lately, and I wouldn't be surprised if Triller started putting on MMA fights. I mean, they sure have the money and the chops for it. And with fighter pay always being questioned in the UFC, I would think some relatively big names would gladly transition. However, I can't seem to figure out what the end game would be in that scenario. I don't know if there's room for another promotion.
I don't think they will start anything related only to MMA fights, because there are more than enough organizations for that, but that is why they invented this new mix of combat sports.
Here is one video of triangle ring, highlights, with Rampage Jackson and other talking that Triad Combat will be serious:

Yeah, I don't know about this triangle ring. Watching it now, it just ain't my thing, I don't see a reason for it. I get that they are trying to create something of their own, and with the landscape of MMA being kinda full, there is not much room. But I don't see this concept sticking. Again, I understand their position, but I doubt this will go anywhere far and will maybe have some followers and that's it, like M1 multi fighter matches or the armored battles.

Triad Combat sure got a lot of attention and I am sure they have financials to make this profitable when they signed some big MMA names like Rampage Jackson and Mike Perry.
Triller made a lot of money on boxing promotion and they are not in good relations with Dana White, so they will do everything to cut of piece of mma cake.

Bellator is finally back this weekend and so is Sergio Pettis in main event with Kyoji Horiguchi from Japan in Bantamweight category.
Pettis is defending his title in this fight, he is black belt in jiu-jitsu and taekwondo and he has reach advantage compared to Horiguchi.
I don't see any familiar faces in other fights on this fight card but main event is worth watching for sure.

I don't know what this is but looks like Triller created some freak Triad Combat with triangular rings and hybrid rules.
No kicks or elbows are allowed in Triad Combat, but clinching and striking from the clinch is allowed that makes it different from boxing.
We can see some familiar MMA veteran faces like Frank Mir, Mike Platinum Perry and Derek Campos.

Kubrat Pulev vs Frank Mir
Alexander Flores vs Matt Mitrione
Michael Seals vs Mike Perry
Brian Vera vs Derek Campos
Scott Sigmon vs Albert Tumenov

FFS, another bastardization. Everyone under the sun is nowadays trying to come out with some hybrid/cross/different thing and honestly, it ain't going nowhere. I mean, even with the ONE Mighty Mouse vs Rodtang fight, those combo rules might have seemed fun at first glance, but the longer I look at it the less appeal it has. Talking from a sporting perspective, not a money-making perspective that is.

We have small break this weekend with major MMA organizations like Bellator and UFC, but ONE championship have their NextGen 3 event on November 26.
This should be broadcasted on Youtube live and FREE so anyone can tune in worldwide and watch on over 150 countries.
Main event is Lito Adiwang vs Jarred Brooks and I don't know any of this fighters, but it's only six matches and you never know if we see some new big potential.

I'd say ONE is doing good on having some of their events free on YT. With MMA being still somewhat in its infancy, free access for newcomers is still a must in my opinion. More organizations should opt for that type of promotion. I mean, not all of their content but some that give new people a glimpse into what the whole package is about.

After quick and routine win few days ago against Kavanagh, next fight for Cris Cyborg could be as soon as in January with Cat Zingano, if Scott Coker and Bellator agrees.
It all started when they started calling each other on twitter, but I didn't know that Cris is very interested in Bitcoin, and she event accepts BTC donations and wants to help spread adoption  Smiley
Now I respect her even more after this move.

Khabib’s Cousin, Usman Nurmagomedov Arrested For Hit & Run On Cop

I havent found it on English language media, but the picture of Usman standing in a gym with another fighter is an old picture. Everything is "not ok". In Russian media it is said, that with pictures in instagram Usman tries to prove that he was not in this car and was in other place (gym). But people already has found denials of that. It is also mentioned, that the cop got traumatic brain injury, concussion and some bones are broken. He can get 5 year sentence for that.
I know about him and I watched him fight several times in Bellator, he has perfect 14-0 record without any lost fight so far... only 23 years old.
According to one article it appears that license plates for this car were removed and it's still unclear who the driver was, but I hope that this police officer will get better soon.
It would be a shame for him to go in jail and maybe Khabib will help him with his connections.

Bellator 271 weigh-ins with staredowns completed and fighters are ready to show their skills tomorrow showing their new haircuts like Kavanagh  Wink
Anything less than Cyborg win would be sensational and that could only be result if she underestimates her opponent.
Scott Coker praised Cyborg in his interview and he is open in letting her do some boxing and other martial arts while staying in Bellator.
He confirmed that last Fedor Emilienko fight is planned for next year in Moscow!

All Bellator fights you can find in Sportsbet, and I am considering betting on over 1.5 rounds in main event, hoping Kavanagh will survive that long:

Bellator 271 Cyborg vs. Kavanagh is starting in two days and this should be one more easy win for Cris Cyborg like the odds are sugegsing.
I never watched Sinead Kavanagh fighting but she is challenger coming from Dublin, Ireland, her nickname is KO and I can't see how she can hurt and beat Cyborg.
Betting on final outcome is not worth it, but after looking at Cyborg KO win record of 79% I think we can see that one more time if you can find that for betting anywhere.
Co-main event should be much more interesting to watch with heavyweight Tyrell Fortune fighting against Linton Vassell.

Cris Cyborg moved away from the UFC, if she wanted the rematch she would have demanded against Amanda Nunes, but we never head about that, but instead she did not resign and moved to Bellator. There is a lack of talent in higher weight division and Cris Cyborg is the best of all time and the only challenge in her career was Amanda Nunes and she was clipped during a wild trade and she will not find any opponent that could trouble her ever again  Grin.
Cris Cyborg had many fights with Dana White in UFC, he even said that working with her was a nightmare, and she received much better offer from Bellator, so I see no reason why she wouldn't move to organization.
It would be amazing to see rematch with Amanda Nunes but you can fight only with fighters you are being offered and I think that Sinead Kavanagh is not on that level, but she is decent fighter.
Other fighters from Bellator also said they are being paid much better than in UFC, one example would be Corey Anderson.

There is no competition for Cris Cyborg in any weight division other than Amanda Nunes and i wonder what the odds would be, i really wanted to see that rematch but that is not going to happen Undecided.
