This is something to look forward to. Especially with the weird ruleset that will be present at the Rodtang DJ fight. Actually, it's kinda refreshing that these kinds of fights are going on. Also Nice to see Tonon back, but I have to say he is fighting so sparsely that I can't tell where he is going with all of this.

When we are talking about no names, check out free ONE Championship event for free on youtube as warmup for this weekened events.
They have a lot of kickboxing fights this time and few interesting MMA fights I watched because there was few european fighters.

Yeah I get it,  no name value.  But look again..  Ludovit Klein vs Nate Landwehr could be a good match up, so is Andrew Sanchez vs Bruno Silva.  And it’s way better than Bellator’d prelims and main card matches outside the main and co main, that’s for sure... 

And there are some interesting underdogs.  Books seem to misprice the UFC more than other MMA outfits.

He was talking about whole round, not about the way he knocked down his opponent.
Dana can be very critical and I listened to all his post fight comments and you can hear that he was impressed by this guy, unlike guy from UK Jake Hadley that he had lot of bad things to say:

I don't like anything special in UFC prelims this weekend, and Mukhamed Berkhamov vs Jaleel Willis may be interesting welterweight fight to watch in Bellator prelims.
This is classic Russia vs United States, and both guys have impressive mma record, Berkhamov 14-1 and Willis is 15-2.

^  I guess so...  But I feel like the quality of matches in the prelims and the under cards in the UFC are a lot better than the under cards they have at Bellator 268 event.

Anybody got some good spots, leans and picks for the event?  I feel like nobody is really taking some action in these Bellator events.  Lol.

Is this the guy and KO you are talking about ? https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1448090453514072075

Well, that was quick. But no offence, this does not look like something very special. I think Dana White just had to say something about the winner and such words were just regular for a fighter description.

But in general Viacheslav Borschev looks like a very funny and kind guy https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1448091503545438212. I think he is too kind for UFC

DWCS finished and there is a new Russian fighter signed for UFC and Dana White was so impressed with first round of his fight that he called it best round ever and he can't to see him fight again.
Slovakian Martin Buday also won his fight and signed for UFC, Dana White said that he needs heavyweights so I am not surprised to see him joining the team.

I would say it's much Bellator better event than this week UFC event, we have both Light Heavyweight main and co-main event, I am excited to see Ryan Bader vs Corey Anderson in this grand prix semifinals!

Wooh... I thought that Nemkov was going to fight Anthony Rumble Johnson, but now I see he is replaced with Julius Anglickas. Looks like a mismatch to me, despite Anglickas is 10-1 and in a series of 9 straight wins.

Bader vs Anderson is worth watching. Benson Henderson I know from UFC and he was rather good there. All others fighters are not familiar with me. I think I am not even going to download that event and watch, but rather check youtube for best moments of main event or watch events review by youtubers.

It’s a decent Bellator event for the coming weekend.  I really don’t get excited when I get Corey Anderson in a UFC event but for Bellator it’s pump fist in the air card.  Lolol.  And Nemkov being the main event is always good.

So...  Anybody have any leans you want to share? 

Back to favorite Dana White Contender Series that is promising very entertaining five fights and I am especially looking for heavyweight fight co-main event Lorenzo Hood vs Martin Buday from Slovakia.
Few of the fighters have perfect record and with win and good performance they could jump in the top UFC train.

Nope, no touched nerves, just your inability to read what I have written and your lack of quality argumentation. I am simply correcting your wrong presumption about what I have written (even though it's written) and your false assumption that something is correlated to another thing. Don't worry, you'll get a hang of it eventually. Maybe.

It's entertaining to me watching how I touch the nerves of some people who get offended because they never fight in their live but they are experts for fighting, maybe it same way like everyone is a general even if he didn't went to army, or best coach that never played any sports except on his playstation  

See, now you are twisting my words to make your point valid, and it has nothing to do with what I said nor what I am referring to.


If you read my quote with understanding you will see that I first and foremost argued that the show itself, as a televised package, is not entertaining, not the fights as I do not consider fights entertainment, I consider them fights. As you can see in my next sentence I hypothetically consider that someone would think of fights from an entertainment value (even if I myself do not), but than we would have to see what makes these fights more entertaining than any other fight on any other local promotion. If you watch fights solely on the principle that you can see great fights, then do you also watch every KSW undercard? Local Balkan promotions? Third-tier USA promotions? Because if not, you could be missing out on some spectacular fighters.

as for this part


If my comment tells you I was in a fight last time in school then your comment tells me you are probably a Tapout wearing 'Let me bang Bro!' screaming type of fan. Now, I do not think you are one of those, but you are clearly missing the point of what televised sports are in the modern world.  And my ability, experience, or ring time has nothing to do with the validity of my comment.

Haven’t been watching the last couple DCWS events but the guys who fight in it fight for something more important than money or fame...  They fight for their careers and climbing that ladder for the betterment of their lives and the lives of their families.  I’m pretty sure everybody gets it and would appreciate it from that perspective.

And if all else fails, makes bets.  That should entertain you.  Lol. 

Then you should go in octagon and try to fight with one of those fighters tosee how much entertaining fighting is, but you probably got in the fight last time back in the school  
This is not circus show with McGregor and other freaks breaking buses just to sell payperview, its simply fightning and I saw many spectacular fighters that came from DWCS, but you don't know that because you don't follow it.
One of them is Marina Rodriguez who is fightinh in main UFC event in few days.

What am I missing here? Isn't the main idea of DWCS to get those fighters signed to the promotion Why would I be surprised if the sole thing the show was created for is doing just that? Of course, they are signing fighters. What I am questioning is the entertainment value of the show, not its legitimacy of fighters and potential UFC newcomers. As for entertainment, it falls flat. Sure, you could argue that some of the fights themselves are entertaining, but you could also then argue that watching any UFC fight card from start to finish or any other organization could be considered entertainment and, besides of a couple of honorable mentions, I do not.

You are wrong, and good thing you are not any factor for this, you should just look how many DWCS fighters signed for UFC in past few months, that shows how Contender Series became main source for new signings.
It's much easier for Dana to organize something in his own arena and fighters came from all over the world to him, then make some blind signings.

I really don't follow DWCS so this is an honest question, but what are the numbers regarding ratings and how is the fan reception to it? Just based on my short time viewing it I really don't find it entertaining or that interesting. When Dana White Looking For A Fight was first out I thought that it had a cool concept that grasped the viewer's attention and had some entertaining value. However, DWCS is just flat and not much more than a televised local promotion. But that's just my 2 cents.

Dana White's Contender Series Week 6 is starting tomorrow, with five new fights and few new potential UFC fighters.
Josh Weems jumped in as last moment replacement but he missed his weight, and It might be a good idea to bet on Fernie Garcia if odds are right.
I always prefer watch HW and LHW category and this time we have Shonte Barnes vs Joseph Holmes, this could be interesting fight.

Brian Kelleher will fight Saidyokub next year on January 15. He had a good run of 3-1 in 2020 and went 1-1 in this year. The match against Saidyokub will be his 36th professional appearance. Saidyokub is also a good fighter, he won straight 3 games and lost one and won one respectively making him winning 4 out of his 5 matches. Pretty excited for this match.
