I wouldn't go so far as taking MMA math into consideration here. If said X has beaten Y and Y has beaten Z, therefor X has to beat Z as well. Not really. I would go agree more with your statement that this could go in Fedors favor. Not in a 1-minute hit and run but still, he should be the favorite here. Why Fedor is picking to fight guys like these (low-income possibility, low opponent name value and low public interest for that fighter, but still high risk for Fedor), is still a mystery to me.

Who is Tim Johnson ? On the paper, he looks like a very unstable fighter. He could beat a more experienced guy, but will lose to a less knows and experienced. He reminds me of Tim Silva. Big guy, that wins only due to strength. As I remember, Fedor destroyed Silva in less than 1 minute. But that was Fedor in his prime. Despite he is not as quick and sharp as he used to be, I think this fight will be a repeat of Fedor vs Silva scenario.

But no one should underestimate Tim Johnson. For example he has beaten a guy who has beaten Fedor He could do the same with Fedor.

This was great Bellator event to watch, Nemkov won against Anglickas with kimura submission that was expected, and  Corey Anderson got a great ko win in first round against Ryan Bader.
Now we have great light heavyweight Grand prix final Vadim Nemkov vs Corey Anderson, it's Russia vs Unites States for prize of one million dollars!
I am also super excited to see one more Russian legend Fedor Emelianenko fighting this weekend in Bellator 260 Moscow against Tim Johnson, in what could be the last fight of his carrier.
This event should not be missed and we are going to see many other Russian fighters including Usman Nurmagomedov.

Well, there are numerous factors to why ONE FC has had success finding DJ opponents. One is definitely that they try different avenues, but the other is that in Asian countries they have a much wider pool for his weight class that might play a factor. And yes, I believe this to be an exhibition match, with such a diverse ruleset I doubt it could be anything else.

So is this an exhibition bout where they have equal opportunity in their respective discipline, whatever may be the situation it looks more like an challenge for Demetrious Johnson who is widely considered as the greatest of all time and OneFC trying to throw tough opponents after another. What i find is that unlike UFC who was struggling to find opponents for Demetrious Johnson, OneFc has done a great job.

Actually, the ruleset for DJ vs Rodtang is a split between Muay Thai and MMA rules, with the first round as Muay Thai, the second round as MMA, and so on. So it will be a test for both of them. Even more so for DJ I think because he needs to survive the first round. Interesting and crazy concept. Not sure if it has been done this way anywhere.

I had no idea John Lineker moved out from UFC and joined OneFC, i am not aware of the skills level of his opponent but i am aware of the skill level of John Linerker and it will be an interesting fight because OneFC has some talented fighters in their lower weight divisions.

The fight that i am interested is Demetrious Johnson facing one of the legends of Muay Thai Rodtang and i am a big fan of him when he was fighting in Muay Thai and i do not remember him fighting in MMA and i have no idea how he would fair against Demetrious Johnson but this is a dream fight for the fans because the skill level is of Rodtang in striking is legendary and i consider Demetrious Johnson as one of the complete all around fighters in MMA.

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.
