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.

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.

Cheick Kongo is not young anymore but he can still fight and beat anyone like he showed in fight with Kharitonov and I didn't expect this outcome to be honest.
I am not sure what is next for both of this fighters but Bellator is taking small summer break and next fight card Bealltor 266 is scheduled for September 15.

Quote from: cygan on August 21, 2021, 07:39:21 AM

and here is the complete fight list of the next ksw 63 tournament, which will take place in warsaw.

This should be great fight card to watch and I think that Darko Stosic fight should not be missed, he is ex UFC fighter and he destroyed all fighters in KSW so far.

Seemed like a fun card in Bellator 265. Congo tapped out Kharitonov at the buzzer with an rnc. Now that's exciting. Bellator has had some really good cards latelly, PFL is not bad at all and ONE is up there with the best. Glad to see that UFC has some good competition nowdays.

It's really hard to come by some decent results for this one, but Delija got the best of Goltsov and will be heading to the finals. Also, Cappelozza and Harrison won as well on that card. And on a side note, whoever is doing or in charge of visuals for PFL should rethink taking another line of work, this is an atrocity.

It was easy ground and pound win for unstoppable Kayla Harrison that now has 11-0 MMA record and her next fight is with Guardado.
Delija managed to win by decision, my call was good for betting on underdog, and Cappelozza also got a great KO win so it's now amazing record 13 wins by 13 KO's! Shocked

It's 6 million dollars on the line in this play-offs and Cappelozza is going head to head with Ante Delija in heavyweight category!

PFL Playoffs are starting in two days and again we have great fight with Kayla Harrison with perfect 10-0 record and Genah Fabian (4-1).
Problem is that Harrison is huge favorite and odds are to low on her, so it's better to look for other fight for betting and there are few good ones.

Co-main event Bruno Cappelozza vs Jamelle Jones is interesting clash of heavyweights, and just look at that Cappelozza 100% KO/TKO record from all of his 12 fights! If he wins he wins with a KO!
Jones is also good with his KO record but he has 4 inch reach disadvantage compared with Cappelozza.
Whatever the outcome may be, you should not miss this fight!

One more good fight to watch in heavyweight is Denis Goltsov vs Ante Delija, and my bet will be on underdog from Croatia.
This is probably one of the best fight cards I saw in PFL in last few months.

Bellator 265 Kongo vs Kharitonov is starting tomorrow and there are some changes in fight card.
Jay Jay Wilson missed the weight again and his fight with Adam Borics is canceled, that was supposed to be co-main event of the evening.
New co-main event is Logan Storley vs Dante Schiro in welterweight category.
Sergei Kharitonov is nearly 20 pounds heavier than Cheick Kongo, and Kharitonov is slight favorite to win this fight as odds suggest.
Kongo have big seven inch reach advantage but he is five years older so I have to give advantage to Kharitonov this time, but fight should be interesting to watch.

Not sure if BKFC is really an interest in this thread, but let's say it is... here is a Chris Leben fight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAzkyl5VFsQ

This always looks to me like a glorified bar fight in Boston, but hey, some MMA fight's look like that as well XD Not really my cup of tea, to much chaos but to each his own.

In the early days of MMA, it used to be that way which is full of brawling but this one is bare-knuckle. Its more damaging when there is no protective gear on the hands. He hit the eye by chance and Quentin thought it was a poke in the eye lol.

Sad lives of these old-timers because during their time, they are not paid well. I remember a Brazilian fighter jumped happily receiving about $5K I think after winning and said to Rogan he's happy to celebrate his birthday next week. I wonder how much Leben is paid for this retirement fight.

Yeah, that's what this reminds me of, the olden time, and I for one am not interested in revisiting those early days of MMA

The game has evolved drastically from that period where now it's, for the most part, a sport and not just a fight. Watching BKFC is like watching some old footage from the late 90s.

This will be interesting MMA weekend and big heavyweight fight is starting as Bellator 265 in few days between legendary Cheick Kongo and Russian fighter Sergei Kharitonov and that should be good fight to watch, but my eyes are more focused on October 23 and other legendary heavyweight fight Fedor vs Johnson.
Kongo is 46 years old with seven inch reach advantage but Kharitonov is five years younger and I think odds will be more in his favor.
