Khabib once said that Charles had a red zone that he had to be careful of. If he (Charles) succeeds in bringing you into his world, then you will fall into the deepest ocean. This refers to Charles' extraordinary BJJ abilities and Khabib admits that. The problem is that Khabib is Makachev's trainer who has god level sambo wrestling talent and I think Charles' defeat in the first fight was because of Khabib's support and guidance during the match.

Sorry I'm late. Was busy with work.

Yeah, you all should man up, find a real woman, get married and have children. Simping for "kittens" is not going to get you anywhere and you're just contributing to the overall degeneracy. Quit that now and thank me later.
Also, men are the ones that are supposed to do the fighting, not women. If you enjoy women getting beaten up and looking like the below, you need to seriously self-reflect.



That is all. Good night.

The game of the most of the player was changed now in the good way,the game of the Charles and Dariush was improved in the good way.Charles had the potential to win the game with their own sportsman spirit as a wrestler.Even though the Islam was the good strategic player compared to Charles,but I can’t say the Charles will lose the game.Islam had their good win against the Chandler and Justin,which made he was the unique player.In both the matches,people community though Charles will loss the game.But the same was changed at the end of the game.

Recently the UFC has not been making too much noise. At least in my personal opinion, I have seen that UFC do better. So they should try to make those fights which will generate more noise/popularity for themselves instead of thinking about which is too accurate.



That is actually going to be a great idea. John Jones versus Francis Ngannou. A lot of people are definitely going to turn up to see that fight. And even though I know that previously, Dana White and Francis Ngannou had their differences, Dana White is not going to mind when he is going to earn a lot of money. But what will Francis say about that?

Yup I hope so too.    I don't really care about the rankings that much anyway.  I just want good match ups and to see new blood going for the title.  If the UFC were to get every title shot solely from the rankings so we have to watch Jones vs Gane again, then Jones vs Pav and we'll only see Aspinall take a crack at it after a couple more years.  But by then Jones prolly might have already retired or Aspinall got a serious injury and we would end up not seeing that match up.  :/

And here's a fight replay of one of my underdog picks this weekend...  Not sure why the UFC is featuring him.  Maybe they also think as I do. 

UFC Free Fight:  Alhassan vs Ribeiro

But isnt one of refs tasks to save a fighter? Whether it is 1 second left or 4 more rounds to go. Imho, after a second elbow, I would have stopped it. The opponent stopped defending. Imho it looked stupid to stop at the last second. Why not let land more 2-3 elbows then and hear the siren?

There are fights when a fighter was winning, but got KOed on the last seconds (like Volkov vs Lewis, KOed when there were 11 seconds left). Why not let one guy continue hitting the other ? He will get 10-8 or even 10-7 for that round, but could lose the whole fight in the end.

Thankfully he got a quick rematch against Islam Makachev despite his knockout loss because usually when something like that happens and when the fighters undoubtedly lose the fight like what happened to him, they often move to another weight division and try their luck there and forget about the past but this time since there is no one out there who can fight both of them, they need to see against each other inside the cage again and settle the rivalry once again. I doubt Charles can train that fast to match and counter Islam's wrestling skills but after Islam has shown his weakness in his fight against Volkanovski, I'm sure Charles has learned a lot on how to beat him from that.

Seriously I forgot about that match a bit. Thank you buddy for reminding me ! In that match we can see that Charles has changed a lot for the better and he knows how to face wrestlers. Dariush to me is one of the best wrestlers in LW. And Charles was able to finish the fight well. Honestly, I believe Islam will win but I also don't look down on Charles. He is a very interesting fighter. When people think he's going to lose, like his matches against Chandler and Justin, it all ends up being a win. That's what makes my adrenaline pump every time I watch Oliveira's match.

Well, I think we are just appreciating the Beauty of our fighters sure there is nothing wrong with doing that in my opinion, and these Fighting kittens will surely have hype and fans like that Vanessa Demopoulos is also fighting in this card

Well, Montana Dela Rosa Beauty is surely a killer sorry I totally forgot about her, but sure I will be betting only for the Karolina Kowalkiewicz VS Diana Belbiţă  fight on this card well I can not make my bets on all of the fights for sure, well, the Montana De La Rosa fight with Stephanie Egger was canceled and was changed to JJ Aldrich for me JJ Aldrich is much dangerous than with Stephanie Egger in my opinion,




For me, his fight with Brian Ortega was pretty much outdated and if they would fight again it would be a different scenario for sure the ground defense of Volk was very much improved, and on the Islam Makhachev fight for sure you can see the difference and for me Islam Makhachev's wrestling is much advance than Brian Ortega's wrestling for sure,


In the recent fight of Charles Oliveira against Beneil Dariush for sure if you notice the power of Islam Makhachev against Dariush for sure you can say that this is a different Charles Oliveira the power of his strikes was elevated and the technicality was there for sure he might have a chance on beating Makhachev but I can not take out the fact that Islam Makhachev also has improved a lot as well so if Oliveira improves Makhachev also improves,

Volk's match against Ortega is strong evidence that Volk can also be choked with submissions. Makachev has also done it but not as deep as T-City has done. It's just that I admit that it took a fighter with a high level of grappling quality to put Volk in that situation.


Charles holds the record as the fighter with the most submission wins in the UFC. However, the ability to submit with Brazilian jiujitsu can only be done if Makachev can be taken down. And that requires a high level of wrestling. I doubt whether Charles has it. Makachev's only loss was by knockout. So there's no record of how to beat that guy with a submission.
I think the additional weapon Charles needs for this matchup is TD Defense. I'm not sure someone will reach a high level of wrestling in a few months time but for surviving takedown attempts I think it's a more viable option to consider.

Where is @pawell77? He might be angry and tell you to change your ways if you post these images of our sexy fighting kittens heheehehe.

It also appears the you have forgotten Montana dela Rosa who will be fighting a woman with a big forehead. I speculate that she is very much being underestimated for this fight.

That is the Spirit! I know most of us here can surely Appreciate a fighting kitten even though some only have a few, a couple even 1 fitting kitten is enough and a great pick as Karolina Kowalkiewicz is something that has a perfect figure for sure, and from her 5 consecutive losses but her determination never stop there as she got back up and won 3 consecutive wins and her last win was with Vanessa Demopoulos, and even though it was a decision it was but for sure Diana Belbita has a Zebra kind of stats and Karolina Kowalkiewicz could win this fight,


Adding up the ages of both fighters sure that there will be different odds for this fight aswell, and adding their age sure Bobby Green is a crucial fighter and his age might become a hindrance in the future well in this match a younger opponent can likely win in the fight but Bobby Green with his 37 years of age might also not become a hindrance against Grant Dawson,


For sure he has tried his best not to offend Alexander Volkanovski, but Volk surely doesn't have a small neck at least that is what I see, or maybe because his body build was like that because he is a rugby player but you are right when Volk can read this, this might crack him good because when I was reading this I almost spit what I am drinking,

To play referee's advocate, the fight was in the last second of the final round, he literally stopped it in the last second. It was a clear mistake but I kind of understand his hesitancy.

I haven't seen a full fight, so no idea why has it ended with a technical decision, defined as:
“If an accidental foul causes an injury severe enough for the referee to stop the bout after ½ of the scheduled rounds, plus one (1) second of the fight has been completed, the bout will result in a TECHNICAL DECISION awarded to the fighter who is ahead on the scorecards at the time the bout is stopped.”
Those elbows looked legal, so I'm clueless on the reason for that ruling.

Aspinall fighting Jones seems a predictable result. Aspinall may like it of course getting a title shot will flatter him but that doesn't mean it's not a mismatch fight.

If Dana really wants a big fight, they should book Jones vs. Ngannou for a cross promotion to make this fight possible. There is nothing more to wait for than this one. HW use to be an exciting class but Dana not making it happen makes the division suck.

I think right now, John Jones is the Money fight. So they are going to put him against another fighter who can also generate a good amount of buzz. And I personally think that Aspinall can do that right now. So I personally think that they are going to give him the fight against John Jones. I also agree that John Jones is not going to stay for a long time in the UFC. This time I think he is here for the money. And he is trying to get as much money as he can, actually, I should say, making as much money as he can, while he is still in decent shape.

I don't know if the ranking is going to matter much in this. They are probably going to go with the fight that is going to make them more money.

All Charles needs is to get to Islam with jabs from a distance. Once he sees he hurt Islam, he can then make more combos to end up on Islam's back. Front kicks are hard to catch yes that also can be mixed with his jabs. He just needs one good shot to hurt Islam before going for combos, 5 rounds will be enough to find that shot.

If he gets impatient and carelessly risks again, he'll be submitted. Islam is prepared in all ways, he can even duck a jab, throw a counter from under, and end up lifting Charles.
The odds will probably be Charles 2.00 and Islam 1.40

^  I think the UFC will go for Jones vs Aspinall after Miocic.  In Aspinall's last post fight interview, he said he was ready to go for the belt now.  As from the interviews prior he was hesitant and kept on saying he needed more time to develop.  And I don't think Jones is staying long in the UFC.  He'll prolly have a couple more fights in the UFC after Miocic then retire.  So yeah I hope the next one is vs Aspinall.  He'll be a great champ if he wins.

I think I'd rather see Pavlovich vs Gane.  Dunno...  

Edit:  Just checked the rankings.  It looks like Pavlovich should be next for the title as he's ranked higher.  And it's Aspinall who should be going for Gane.  :/

There is also Ciryl Gane in heavyweight roster. What about him? Maybe he is the next to test Aspinall or Pavlovich? I doubt that Gane is gonna have another title fight, but he is top2 right now. Imho he should test someone before a title fight.

We all remember how Dana White and UFC fans complained about Mario Yamasaki and Steve Mazzagatti judging. Recently found this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtoAZ_3I8CT/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D. I am speechless. 5-6 unnecessary elbows... Wtf ref was thinking about ? This even hurts to watch. What surprises me most - this fight officially ended with "Technical Decision (unanimous) (30–27, 30–27, 29–28)". This is not a TKO, but a UD...

I believe everything is going to depend on how he comes back from his injury. He definitely has time. But obviously the question is, Whether Dana White is going to give him a chance or not. I also think that Dana White is not going to risk his money to give him another chance. Unless he looks in really good physical condition. I believe he is going to get a chance if his physical condition is really good when he comes back from injury. Which I think is probably not very realistic to think about to be honest. But obviously there is a chance.

100% agree. Aspinall Vs Jones is an absolute must. Aspinall will probably have to score at least one more high-profile win, as he's not yet hyped up enough to pull out a proper big-money PPV fight. No offense to Stipe, but I think Tom is much better fighter, he's definitely hungrier. If Jon Jones wants to retire as a GOAT in full glory, he will have to face Aspinall, otherwise it will look like he's running away from the real challenge.
Technically Pavlovich would be next for a title shot, but I can't imagine Jones being interested in such fight.

Easier said than done. As soon as Oliveira commits to a punch, Islam will shoot for the legs. Probably he mix some jabs and front kicks, but keeping safe distance for 5 rounds at this level is impossible to pull off.
