Bellator most of the time have an interesting matchup to watch and the recent one was the Bellator 285 with Yoel Romero VS Melvin Manhoef and it never failed me to watch that fight, well that Chimaev VS Diaz fight was going to be a one-sided fight and pretty much many are disappointed by it so the UFC has to think of a plan to scrap the match-ups by causing a ruckus and fiasco, I think Khamzat Chimaev is involved to this plan that he is not scared of doing such a thing and partly missing that weigh,

For me watching matchmaking is one park that I am watching and picking those fights if the odds are tasty then I would gladly bet for it, but sad to say if the odds are a land slide, I would not bet on it, but still enjoy watching the fight,


We will never know the real reason or his real intention in doing this thing, but maybe this is just to get sympathy or get the attention of a certain person, I think we can all have answers on Instagram or any social media accounts the answer for this, well he might try a new career or go on being a celebrity, he recently posted a photo of him edited it with the Rock and Kevin Heart, so maybe it is really legit but let's just wait for him to say what he really truly wants,

Kevin Holland is not going to retire at any point in the near future. In any case, I do not trust him at all.
There is no doubt in my mind that he is an absolute troll and that he is just doing this to get some sentiment out of people.

I have to say that Khamzat Chimaev once again came up with a dominating performance. A submission win in the first round.
Who is going to be able to stop this guy? I wonder who is going to be able to do that. I also agree with you that Kevin Holland probably did not get paid as much as Diaz did.

Anyway, I don't see any reason why Kevin Holland would decide to retire at this point in time. After all, he has had a lot more losses in his career than wins.

I tune into Bellator events now, and again. I do find them heavily skewed a lot of the time though, and if you check the odds they usually reflect that. I'm much more interested in sport in general when I've put together an accumulator, without it I wouldn't watch nearly as much as I do.

Bellator doesn't really make that possible, due to the matchmaking they seem to do. At least with the UFC, there's only the occasional landslide. For example, like the Nate vs Chimaev fight that got cancelled. I wasn't all that interested in that fight due to the matchmaking, but also the odds didn't make it exciting at all.

Yes, it is better to be injured, cut, or have broken bones than to have your life taken away, there are certain things Boxing and MMA differed, and MMA the referee is responsible for stopping the fight and they will not count 1 to 10 for a knock out they will cut the fight short if they think there other fighters are not capable of fighting anymore, that is why even though many are saying that MMA is more brutal and barbaric for some but for me I have learned a technical analysis that it is way safer to fight on MMA, because if we could see it on the technical aspect of things you would know that in MMA it is OK to have a follow up punch than getting it on the head multiple times,


Just as I have said in my recent post Floyd's nickname is literally money, well that fight with Mackenzie Dern VS Xiaonan Yan will be an epic one that is for sure, that fighting Kitten Mackenzie Dern has a killer body that will surely kill any opponent she fights, Tabatha Ricci is another fighting kitten that I want to watch as well there are so much exciting matches that surely I am anticipating to watch, well cleary the UFC fight was next week and I am likely waiting for the Dana White's Contender Series that will be on 09/27/2022,

Floyd = Money.

It would be fun watching women fight and show something like what Tai Emery did. Sure its going to be fun, it will kill the OnlyFans girls. Tai Emery flashes her tits to the fans after winning a KO fight in BKFC.  It will happen again as she promised she will show more. And probably not just her, some women may also do this. This will probably make BKFC popular.  

I think Dana will be furious if someone does flash tits in UFC cage.

@TopTort777 I got your point dear,,

I think that getting cut is far better compared to not being alive.

We all know about the broken bone injury that can happen in MMA. That certainly does not happen in boxing. But broken bones can heal. I think we all know about Parkinson's disease. The best boxer of all time,  Muhammad Ali suffered from Parkinson's disease because of getting hit on the head too much. At least those don't happen in MMA.  I know that at one point in life everyone has Parkinson's disease because of being old. But because of boxing that can happen a lot quicker.

The point that I am trying to make is, injuries from MMA can be career-ending, but injuries from boxing can be life-ending.

Now point me where in the post that you have quotes I have written that MMA is more brutal, lol? And be my guest, read my posts that came after what you have quoted and I think you would be amazed. If not still not amazed, redo that until amazed 

That Bellator fight was really awesome to watch Benson Henderson was great taking those advantages to good use, while Yoel Romero is pretty much great I thought the fight was going for a decision Yoel Romero snuck a great takedown for him to pulverize Melvin Manhoef it was a great fight and Romero still has it in him,

While Yoel Romero is still keeping the pace on Bellator Khamzat Chimaev, is going up on 185 lbs, so likely he will be switching on both divisions, he might target Paulo Costa because they got beef on one another, or he can take of Robert Whittaker but for me, he will likely have problem with Whittaker and he wants to train with him so I think Paulo Costa will be a good fight and getting to the champion on the Middleweight division, I think missing weight had some good sign for him but for me this is likely what he is planning, to get the Middleweight and then the Welterweight division,

Yeah it's boring with UFA and without football, but there was very good Bellator event with Yoel Romero just finsihed, so maybe you can check that.
There is also Dana White Contender Series I am watching recently and they are great to watch, Dana is forcing them to show all their skills.
I am not specially excited with next UFC event starting this weekend

He might just be trolling the UFC and Dana White for not having the fight he wants, and we all know that Kevin Holland accepts the fight that he doesn't have the preparation for and gives the UFC the fight that they want, him against Chimaev, but Dana White doesn't want to give him what he wants and I don't know if Daniel Rodriguez or Neil Magny, but either on these fighters he wants to fight,

After reading an article I couldn't believe that he wants to retire early but after looking at his Instagram post I think he wants to say something, that this is all set up for the UFC to listen to him,


Kevin Holland might want bigger money on this but I don't really know if that retirement was just a stunt, so the UFC or Dana White will see it, I surely don't want to believe it, but again he has made a solid statement he might want to change career or even fight on an exhibition match with a high payment exhibition match, or this is just a set up so the UFC or Dana White could see it, and pretty much his fans were upset hearing this,

It is because boxing fights are not very brutal in many people's eyes since fight injuries in boxing is more on swelling and cuts happen when an injured part exploded after hit, headbutts cut, accidental elbow strikes and didn't even think that repeatedly receiving blow to the head is dangerous that may result to brain hemorrhage which makes it much more dangerous. In MMA, it looks very dangerous compared to boxing because damage in mma have injuries that looks like very brutal but what I mostly saw are cuts, broken bones though mma is still dangerous since there are serious injuries too like fractured skull that may be the cause of death if not lucky to survive since it is possible that a piece of fractured skull will hit the brain after impact and also we know that there are many ways a fight will stop.

I think he mean about barbaric and brutal is about bloody or huge cuts that's usually happen on MMA rather than boxing, not about death. I tend to agree boxing is more dangerous than MMA since the stoppage on boxing are to late until the boxer fall down after taking so many punches.

MMA are more flexible to hit on most part of your body and you can win via submission that doesn't make you have serious injury, while boxing is more targeted to your head which increase the chance of getting brain damage.

Oh..  And here I thought you just made that thought out of the blue.  I searched Kevin Holland and he is really giving hints about retiring...  Lol.  But you're right.  And it's also hard to take the guy seriously given his history.  He usually kids around a lot so I wouldn't be really surprised if he was just doing it for engagement and the lulz.

He prolly got paid some money but I doubt it's as big as what they paid Diaz.  At the post fight press conference Diaz says he lost count on how much the UFC paid him.

If you think MMA is more barbaric and brutal compared to boxing you obviously haven't done your research. I would suggest you look up how many fighters have died in the last 5 years in MMA and how many fighters have died in the last 5 years in boxing. In MMA, or in the UFC which is the most popular stage of MMA, the fight is stopped whenever one fighter gets knocked out or concussion. But in boxing, if a fighter is knocked out there is a count of 10. If the fighter stands on his feet in the count of 10, he can continue and after that, he gets beat up more and more.

This is a list of fighters dying because of boxing:
List of deaths due to injuries sustained in boxing

And this is a list of fighters dying because of MMA:
Has Anyone Died in UFC (MMA)?

Now tell me which one is more brutal?

However, the only real reason why Floyd Mayweather has agreed to fight Conor McGregor is money. Floyd knew that Conor will never win against him in the boxing ring.

In any case, for the next event we have our favorite sexy fighting kitten Mackenzie Dern. She is BJJ expert hehehehee.

Everybody is searching for new careers nowadays but combat sports from Floyd's exhibition spree. Like Nate wanting to fight with Jake Paul. Everybody's turning to exhibitions like Anderson vs Fedor Emelianenko.

Holland retirement is too early for his career, he can do a lot in sports so he might be famous for short-term notice. If Dana White needs someone to fight that very moment, he can call Kevin.

As for Kevin Holland, you never really know what's going on with him, since he loves to troll the fans, and the fighters he fights. I don't think he'll be retiring, unless he's got a contract for boxing, since I wouldn't have thought he's made enough money in his career to retire just yet, when arguably bigger named fighters than him, with longer careers are complaining about the money they make, and basically being homeless in some cases.

I believe Chimaev claimed that or something along those lines, I know he lived in the gym that he was training at. So, no I don't believe Holland when he says he's retiring. Although, maybe he got a little extra on the side for accepting the fight against Chimaev, and basically keeping the event alive.

For me, it will go the distance and it is a win for Israel Adesanya, I know Adesanya is quite cocky and nobody likes his fighting style but apparently, this will surely be saving his skin, for me, I think that Izzy has already learned from that Jan Blachowicz fight, and that he can sure win this match if the fight go the distance, and a definitely for me  Izzy might take the high attitude but he would surely have a hard time on this and it will be going to be an easy fight.


I think Pereira will still go for the old approach the one that ends up with Israel Adesanya in their kickboxing match and this kind of punch was the one that is haunting Adesanya, but if Alex Pereira would have trained for a takedown and wrestling then for me I would definitely go with Alex Pereira, but it can not happen in a short moment of time, and if Israel Adesanya would not let his emotion surpasses him then he might lose this, but I am still going with Izzy here,

And just in Kevin Holland retires??? from sports and searched for a new career and posted on his Instagram and shockingly retired before hitting 30 years old, but before this, he is talking about being a champion and correcting all the mistakes he is been doing inside the octagon and now he is then retiring but I think he is asking something from the UFC and he doesn't get it, because he posted a Daniel Rodriguez VS Neil Magny fight that is happening October 15, I think he might be asking for a Niel Magny fight, but I guess Li Jingliang should also be upset in this fight aswell because he didn't get that rematch he deserves, for me, Li Jingliang was the one constantly screwed here,

As for moving up, I didn't take it being cocky, I thought it was rather respectable to be able to risk your zero by taking on a challenge which a lot of people said wouldn't be an easy one. I'm more of a fan of people who dare to be, than are naturally gifted, and get it all.

I know Izzy does have a cocky persona, but I just think most of that's self belief. He believed he could of done it, and every interview I've seen since he's basically said he tried to do his best, and he wasn't good enough.

Damn, I hate weekends without UFC. Especially since other sports are taking a break too.

^
Adesanya will not be cocky when facing someone like Pereira. He knows Pereira has the power to shut his lights out given the opportunity to strike. Bending almost didn't work with Whittaker, he got lucky that its not a solid punch and use his way to counter. He may not be able to do that against Pereira. He will probably just keep the distance.

But had Izzy really slowed down seeing his last 3 fights did ended just UDs?
