Their cutting policy combined with their gloves is something more organizations should implement. Why they don't is a mystery. You get 10kg differences between weigh-ins and actually fight weight in other organizations, it's just a stupid rule that needs to evolve in what ONE has, it's not '97 anymore.

The OneFC has a much better weight cutting system and i still expect UFC and another organization will adopt them. From what i remember the OneFC checks the weight of the fighters in check well before the weigh ins as they should be around that weight limit even during off season and the weigh cut some of the fighters go through in the UFC is brutal.

ONE has a good and a bad model of operating. On one hand, they offer diversity with styles and keep fight cards exciting, switching between their version of MT and MMA, however, when it comes to a casual, that tends to get a bit confusing and you are not sure what you are watching, for what they are fighting, so on so forth. Interesting concept though.

They have one more advantage in ONE championship compared with UFC, Bellator and other organizations, there is no typical weight cutting and everyone fights at their real weight.
They are measuring only water in your body so you must be hydrated correctly, and not lose weight with dehydration like bodybuilders and other mma fighters that collapse sometimes.
Most of weight cutting is something like cheating anyway, we see some fighters gain so much weight after weight-ins and they look huge after that.

I know this is an MMA thread, but if you are a fight fan, take a look at the last Glory kickboxing event. The Plazibat/Khababez, Pereira/Vakhitov, and Hari/Wrzosek. Boy those were some classic kickboxing bangers. Like we were back in the 90s.

I don't follow kickboxing or boxing so much, except if some ex mma fighters are involved or heavyweight boxer fight with Tyson Fury.
ONE championship is sometimes mixing their cards with kickboxing or muay thai that is better version of kickboxing in my opinion.

Back to MMA and Dana White's Contender Series starting in few hours...and maybe we have new UFC signing.
Last time I was correct so let's see if I can do it again and pick new UFC guy from this ten fighters.
Dana needs fresh blood in middleweght category to challenge champion Adesanya and I see Mario Sousa can get there if he wins against Chidi Njokuani.
Souza is coming from Brasil and he has great 12-1 MMA record, while his opponent Chidi is few years older, coming from Bellator and has 7 loses so far.
Odds are almost even and I am taking risky bet on Sousa to win.
I found all fights in Sportsbet:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/dana-whites-contender-series-season-5-week-2/matches

Main event Josh Quinlan vs Logan Urban looks interesting but I am not touching that for betting, and I see that Quinlan is heavy favorite to win.

I like the idea of an all-female card. It sends a powerful message and glad ONE was the one to do it. Sure, Invicta has been doing it for years, but this is different when a mixed-gender promotion does it.

I don't enjoy watching women fight each other and messing up their pretty faces, but fighters like Cyborg or Nunes are next level freaks and not very attractive.

KSW63 is also finished, Roberto Soldic defeated Patrik Kincl and cemented his place as KSW Welterweight Champion.
Darko Stosic won in his fight against Andryszak and he was much better, one referee was probably blind for making it split decision and win for Andryszak.
Stosic next fight is for heavyweight Championship belt against Phil De Fries, and next KSW64 event is scheduled for October.

We didn't cover and talked very much about ONE championship or Invicta MMA that is all women organization and it's time to change that.
There are some great fighters in other competitions and sometimes they can sign a deal with UFC like great champ Rose Namajunas, Jinh Yu Frey or Megan Anderson.

One Championship fight card starting tomorrow is all women Empower, and there are some undefeated fighters I would like to see how they perform, maybe Denice Zamboanga or main event for Flyweight belt Xiong vs Nicolini.

https://www.onefc.com/events/empower/

Yeah, We have been neglecting ONE for some time now, that's a shame. I haven't watched a single Mighty Mouse fight since he switched, that needs to change. And I completely agree that ONE female fighters are something to watch out for, I actually regard them as superior to the Invicta fighters. The evolution of female fighters.

edit: Nicolini has been on my radar for quite some time as she fought in BJJ, she is a real threat on the ground.

Agreed. There are also more sexy fighting kittens in Asia than the west. This is Itsuki Hirata. She has a short career, only 5 fights, however, like watching her hehehe.

Also, there are more underdogs that win in women’s MMA because the skills of the girls are not as predictable as men’s MMA.

One Championship made great promotional trailer for this all women event, and sadly for you Nicolini lost this time.
This fighter Jingnan Xiong from China is looking more like a man than a women, but she is having very good 16-2 record now.
I was more interested to see Denice Zamboanga that looks more like women should, but she lost from Korean Seo Hee Ham.

Like always One Championship is posting all their events on youtube for free:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNm02zYb1Us

For some real man fighting, reminder that KSW 63 is starting tomorrow!

Russian fighter Movlid Khaibulaev, a member of the Khabib team,
won a magnificent victory over the Englishman Brendan Loughnane.

Khaibulaev won by split decision (30-27, 28-29, 29-28).
Thus, Movlid reached the final of the PFL Grand Prix, where he will compete for $ 1 million with Chris Wade.

I am still shocked at the amount of money they get at the end of the tournament. Good on them. I think there is a place for PFL as a serious organization not threatening what UFC is doing, but also not being Bellator. They already have amazing fighters, just wish they had more spotlight.

All fighters made weight for Dana White Contender Series, and I found this fights for betting only on Stake website for now, not available on Sportsbet.
Russian fighter Azamat Murzakanov is heavy favorite to win against Matheus Scheffel and I think that winner will be coming in UFC soon.
It might be a good idea to pick AJ Fletcher win against Leonardo Damiani with nice odds.
Fletcher has perfect 8-0 record and he looked very good in face-offs, but this is going to be his first big test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR3eAS4expQ

Movlid Khaybulaev is continuing his unbeaten run with amazing 18-0 record and he is starting to be serious factor in featherweight category.
His next fight in play-offs is with Chris Wade who defeated Bubba Jenkins, and I won't be surprised to see Khaybulaev in UFC soon, he is 30 years old and there is still time for him to shine.

Dana White Contender Series 2021 first week is starting in 3 days and that is good place to find good unknown fighters.
Main event is Azamat Murzakanov vs Matheus Scheffel in heavyweight category and there is one more fighter from Poland i same category Lukasz Brzeski fighting with Dylan Potter.

Bellator related news, Alistair Overeem just said that Fedor Emelianenko turned him down three times including for Bellator 269 and he will fight with Tim Johnson in main event instead.
Overeem last fight was loss against Volkov in UFC after that he was released from UFC, and I remember his name showed up with Junior dos Santos as potential opponents for Fedor.
https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2021/08/alistair-overeem-fedor-emelianenko-turned-him-down-three-times-bellator-269

I am not surprised by that. TheReem is still a one-shot gonna kill you type of guy and Fedor is not as young as a fighter to risk it like that. It's not he might not take it, it's more of a no need to take it. However, that fight would sell better than the one with Johnson, but hey, you can't force someone to take it.

oh, 100% there is, however, I think that he is actually better of with KSW than with any US-based MMA organization. He is good but he is not top-level big money good and fighting for those organizations would be more of a loss of money and maybe a certain part of his reputation if he losses a few. In KSW he can make a legit name for himself in European circles.

Maybe, but I watched few KSW fights and I think it's lower level compared with UFC, Bellator or PFL, and I don't think Stosic would refuse new invitation call from Dana White

Stošić is a real threat for fighters when he's game. He didn't really have much success in the UFC, but that could mean a bunch of things. Even so, KSW is a respectable organization and there is nothing wrong with being successful there.

There is always a chance that UFC calls him again if he continues with great fights and wins, and I think he is much more mature now and ready to take risks.

There is no break in MMA and PFL playoffs are continuing with new round main event Brendan Loughnane vs Movlid Khaybulaev on August 27.
Other great fight is Bubba Jenkins vs Chris Wade in featherweight category.
