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.

I did even though I didn't understand the announcer, and Michal Martínek was huge going inside the cage and touching the floor of the cage, he was really taller than Darko Stosic but the fight started in a fashion where Darko Stosic intimidated Michal Martínek pressuring him to back away from Darko so much while Darko Stosic pursued him with that menacing look that he has for sure this Heavyweight fight was finished before it can get started, that kick and a follow up 1-2 punch of Darko was enough to make Michal Martinek goes down, and if we can not get the rematch between him and Philip De Fries I really don't know what is next for him let's just wait but for sure a title much is more appropriate,


Yes! I agree Darko Stosic surely has the power in his punch but if he rushes things so much it ends up bad for him with this recent fight Michal Martinek is backing so much that it was like he is making a trap for Darko as Stosic has guessed this and then when he landed a kick he knew that Martinek was rocked because of this and following up with the 1-2 punch, as I have said it was finished before it has started,


For sure as I am watching the fight there is no technicality with their approached as if they are still in the UFC then they will end up with a record just like Derrick Lewis for sure, as the UFC Heavyweight is now changed because of Cyril Gane, and now the additional of Jon Jones in the heavyweight have shifted the division into another upgrade for sure,

But still a classic brawl is just sweet to watch,

Everyone ages differently, but yeah, he'll be 47 in Feb. But I think he's the type of guy who has been competing his entire life and just doesn't know when to stop. And I'm not saying he should, if he can still perform on at least a decent level, then who am I to stop him? He's still a big name, so KSW will probably try to milk him as much as they can. Maybe they'll be matching him up against younger and prospective fighters, who could boost up their careers by defeating a big name like Pudzianowski.

He is fast but sometimes he can rush thing to much and that is how few people caught him off guard.

Stosic is among top fighters in KSW for sure, he is second placed below Phil De Fries who is their number one star.
Both of them are ex UFC fighters and they lost most matches there.
Mariusz Pudzianowski was good before, but he is to old now.

I just watched it. I wasn't familiar with Stosic, but he looked pretty slick. Pretty fast hands and impressive explosiveness for a heavyweight.

I haven't been following KSW in a very long time. Can anyone loop me in on who's the biggest star there nowadays? Do they have anyone of the calibre of any of the former stars such as Khalidov, Gamrot, or Roberto Soldic?

Did you watch the fight?
This was brutal KO win for Stosic in first round, and it is easy to find it on youtube and it lasts only a few minutes so you wont lose much time. , but let me just say that Stosic sent Martinke to sleep  
Maybe next fight for Stosic is rematch with Philip De Fries, but this was last fight on his contract with KSW, so maybe we see some changes.

the cage duels for the oktagon 48 event are now fixed. oktagons 1st ever flyweight championship fight will see Aaron Aby, one of europes best flyweights taking on Elias Garcia, highly skilled grappler and showman in the cage. with an impressive total of 14 finishes, Scott Askham, a giant in the mma scene will be taking on the tough german cage fighter Marc Doussis. with all 9 of his wins being stoppages, MD will be a huge threat in the cage. 2-time ksw champion Antun Racic vs. 3-time cage fighter champ Jack Cartwright go head to head for the bantamweight division title #1 contender spot.
a fiery clash between #3 and #5 in the welterweight division sees 2-time oktagon title challenger Alex Lohoré and 'dracula' Ion Surdu, boasting 9 1st round finishes.
all other duels you can see from the graphic

It was not surprising that Darko Stošić won this one as a former UFC fighter watching the fight Darko Stosic was constantly following Michal Martinek while Martinek backed away from the pressure Stosic kept on following him, and with that 1 punch from Stosic and Martinek is finished for sure and it is not really surprising because this is the Heavyweight Class after all,


For sure the Nurmagedov Family name is pretty well-known in the world of MMA and yeah the Nurmagomedov name is surely a great Staple in this community, of MMA and this is thanks to Khabib Nurmagomedov's dominant winning because of his wrestling the Dagestan wrestling has become well known and surely if you see a Dagestan fighter many will assume that they have pretty good wrestling,


Sure Darko Stosic's win against Martinek will go down the history for KSW Heavyweight, and Stosic's winning this with a one-punch fashion just like most heavyweight fighters for sure,

The Nurmagomedov family is quite popular and is known to many people in MMA circles and from this family champion was born namely Khabib who was able to defend his UFC title for quite long time before deciding to give up the title by retiring early.
Usman Nurmagomedov is currently the Bellator Lightweight Champion with an undefeated record making it possible for Dana White to try to invite Khabib cousin to join and become a UFC fighter.
I think he can also be great fighter there just like Khabib.

Currently Darko Stosic is ranked number one in the KSW heavyweight class and his fight against Michal Martinek will be the main event at KSW87.
There is only one day left in this fight and I think Darko Stosic can be the favorite and win this match so he can really deserve his current position.

After Khabib every cousin of his with family name Nurmagomedov is valuable asset for any MMA promotion.
I am sure UFC and Dana White would do anything to have Usman Nurmagomedov sign for them and join lightweight division.
He is only 25 years old, so anything can happen.

I almost forgot about this KSW event, but nice to see ex UFC fighter Darko Stosic in octagon again.
He is favorite to win but Martínek has reach advantage, and there are holes in Stosic defence to exploit.
Whole main card is very good with Ivan Erslan and other good fighters it is worth watching this if you can.

Sportsbet have KSW87 event available for betting: https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ksw/ksw-87/matches

Usman Nurmagomedov is seemingly too good for Bellator which is why for me if he dominates every fighter in Bellator then it is time for him to change combat-fighting sports company for sure maybe the UFC well this is just what I think but it is for Usman Nurmagomedov's decision but surely that fight was boring to some because Nurmagomedov was taking this fight cautiously,

The Information was from Tapology: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/104170-ksw-87-stosic-vs-martinek

It was another win performance of Usman Nurmagomedov, and for sure he played it safe in winning he is too quick for Brent Primus and you can clearly see the technicality of his punches you can see it into Primus's face bloodied by Usman Nurmagomedov's punches, Cris Cyborg also won against Cat Zingano,  Liz Carmouche also win her fight against Ilima-Lei Macfarlane


And the Crowd goes mild! well, the crowd didn't really like the performance that is why they booed both fighters but Usman Nurmagomedov didn't give a thought about it as long as he won the fight sure he was OK with it, and because Numagomedov approached the fight with caution, as long as he is safe and it was a win for him that is OK with him, and on this fight Usman was dominating both stand-up and the ground game that is how dominant he was inside the cage,

Another win for Usman Nurmagomedov!
He made it look so easy against Brent Primus, and he now has perfect  18-0 MMA record 
I dont think there is anyone who can beat him in Lightweight division, and I would like to see him fight against fighter from UFC Islam Makhachev, only one who can challenge him.
Outside of UFC fighters he is going to fight against Shably or Pitbull in Bellator Grand Prix final.

For sure she has her own reason for doing this, for sure she wants to retire badly and not do that World Title One Fight Night, but she has her own decision, in doing so, in my opinion, and because I have watched the recent interview of Angela Lee on Ariel Helwani she said that she is compromising her her when Stepping inside the cage for sure and the recent passing of her sister Victoria Lee, is something that is hard for her and the accident that she has was revealed to be not really an accident but a self inflicted suicide attempt for sure after hearing all this my conclusion was, that she has a depression for sure,


For sure Khabib Nurmagomedov's Cousin Usman is a fighter who bore the Nurmagomedov name and many fans have awaited his fights like most fans I am also looking at Usman Nurmagomedov's fight for we also have former UFC fighters as well, we have Cris Cyborg, Liz Carmouche, but we also got a canceled bout and that is Ryan Bader vs. Linton Vassell fight

PFL just signed another ex UFC fighter Derek Brunson for light heavyweight tournament with big reward of $1 million.
Brunson is not in his prime with 39 years but he has very good MMA record and he is going to make this tournament more interesting.
I am expecting few more fighters t sign in next months, previous competitions were very popular.

Surely I was also late when I saw the news Angela Lee is surely a popular champion in the world of MMA and her unlikely retirement really sent shocking news to all of her fans and many are wondering why, sure you can see some answers on why she decided to retire from the world of MMA here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7WwVZ9y9Ks

Well, my assessment of her retirement I think there is something to do with her depression and the sudden passing of her Sister and fighter Victoria Lee, for sure in that interview she will surely unveil some of her depression and her suicide attempt in 2017, for sure her retirement was for her common good and for sure this will likely lift up the Burden she is feeling right now so for me this will surely free her on that Shackles,


Nice! Usman Nurmagomedov is fighting in this card, I am also thinking of posting it here after the PFL event but you have beat me into it, for sure thanks for covering it up, and on this fight card Usman Nurmagomedov VS Brent Primus is the main highlight for this event and this is going to be stunning for sure, former UFC fighter Cris Cyborg and Liz Carmouche is also in this event card, and is the Co-Main Event and both is the Main card for this great event for me I will likely post my bet and prediction for this fights and what I think could likely happen, and how I wish Usman Nurmagomedov would likely go t UFC someday,

I'm not really surprised.  All the pressure was getting to her.  The pressure to win, the people's expectations of her and the pressure of being a mom.  Ooof I think that's a big one.  I mean I'm not a parent yet, but I've seen a couple of ky friends got their GF's preggo right after college and they just changed.  Like they're outlook in life got a lot serious but you could see a part of them wants to get out of it.  Lol.

Anyway I think she'll be back and do one of those coming out of retirement matches and challenge the champ.  She also prolly just needs some time off.

This week is going to be hot in MMA Bellator promotion with some amazing fights, and I would rate it better than this week UFC event.
Khabib cousin Usman Nurmagomedov who has perfect mma record 17-0 is fighting in main event against Brent Primus.
In co-main event big Cris Cyborg is fightinh for  Featherweight Championship belt against Cat Zingano, and Liz Carmouche with Macfarlane for Flyweight Championship title.
Sadly Vassell Withdrew from fight and there is noone to replace him in fight against Ryan Bader.
A lot more fights will happen in prelims so I recommend every MMA fan to watch this event.

A little surprised by Angela Lee decision to retire before the fight for the world title at One Fight Night 14 and even though I may be late with this news the decision to retire before this important event begins is actually very unfortunate because Angela is fighter who can be said to be very good and will be remembered as legend.

It is reported that he will also auction off his world title belt and the trousers he wore at the 2018 world championship and the proceeds from the auction will be given as a donation.
Is anyone here following Angela Lee developments?

For sure Rodtang was lucky back when he got Stamp Fairtex and unlucky at the same time just look at the punch and kick power of this girl for sure Rodtang is getting so many bruises from that and surely maybe that is why they break in the 1st place, well, kidding aside that fight with Ham Seo-Hee was epic Ham got Stamp down on the 2nd round with a clean shot but Stamp scramble with grappling to evade Ham's shots and from that the ground is proven effective for Stamp Fairtex in getting his recovery, and on the 3rd round that kicks to the body has proven that Stamp Fairtex has the power in making her opponent go down in a KO/TKO fashion victory for sure it was a great performance for Stamp Fairtex
