^ Not really a good event but if you guys wanna watch a good beating then Magny vs Prates is def for you. Lol. Watch Prates last match, I think it was against Radtke who's also gonna fight in the same event. :D :D The UFC knows what their doing by pitting him against somewhat a known commodity in Magny. They need to prop up this guy Prates as he's really decent. His next fight after winning this one tho... Pretty sure he'll be matched up against somebody really good. Hopefully the bookies keep lining him up as the huge favorite. ;)

Here's a replay...

UFC Free Fight: Carlos Prates vs Li Jingliang
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoJBn7Y6mIU

I want to put a parenthesis to your message. I think Jingliang should drop down to a lower weight class. He struggled in a similar way in the Khamzat fight. Not everyone can be like Mike Tyson (including me :b). He can have better fights at the lower weights. Flyweight or bantamweight might be better for him.

Next event is such a filler event (except de Ridder fight - this is guy is former One FC two weight class champ), that I would rather speculate whos going to be Shavhat next opponent. Shavkat says he is ready to fight anyway for interim belt. Belal says that he is off for 6 weeks only and hints that maybe they should reschedule their fight, instead of fighting someone else, or he trolls Shavkat about interim title, when he is off only for weeks, not months.

Kamaru Usman is expected and he seems to be eager for it. After Belal posted about his injury, he posted the following: https://x.com/USMAN84kg/status/1852046445148541338

Anyway here are the results for this weekend's event.

Brandon Moreno def Amir Albazi

I thought in this week event for one of the main cards of the fight between Brandon Moreno vs Amir Albazi would give surprise with Amir Albazi victory but in the end Brandon got the victory and this also made Amir Albazi have to accept his second defeat while fighting with UFC. Brandon victory also gave him sense of happiness over the disappointment in the previous fight which had several defeats, he was quite dominant with such hard punches that he got the absolute decision victory.

Who has noticed that Chimaev has changed greatly? Not as a fighter, but as a person. Compared with his jungle behaviour, running to octagon, being loud on conference. With a humbler person with glasses, sitting calmly. Does anyone knows what happened to him or have any clue why a person could change so much ? He is like turned from aggressive teenager into 40 yo adult Cheesy

Yes because of his one-year old son is in hospital and needs to get multiple surgeries on his kidney which is why khamzat seems more reserved and calm this time around. This could honestly make him an even better fighter than before.

I guess he has confused millionaire and billionaire Grin

one or two extra zeros on back account, but such a huge difference irl. If I am not mistaken, then Topuria has earned 750k just for the fight. Plus he has got a bonus, ppv sales, sponsor money. Perhaps other sponsors benefits besides ufc official (maybe someone gave him and his family black suits for free or built in-home gym with creo bath for free) also gave him something. I would say he has earn more than a million for his performance against Max. But not a billion definitely.

I think we can all agree that Topuria or any other fighter is not going to make a billion dollars in the UFC. Grin

At the weekend's event. I watched the Rose and Blanchfield match and the next match.
Rose started well in the first and second rounds of the five-round fight, the referees decided so anyway.
In the remaining rounds, Erin Blanchfield managed to intimidate her, closed the distance, stopped her from striking, used her wrestling, it worked and she won the match.
The match between Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi was a very comfortable one for Moreno. Albazi took all the hits and was only able to takedown once, but he could not control Moreno.

I didn't watch or bet, but looking at the result, I'm glad I skipped and the majority of this event ended up in a decision. They said that if Rose wins, she will get a title shot, and Brandon still got it.

Now that Topuria has a name in combat sports, I think he will have a better offer. If he is just into boxing, he would definitely make millions as young as he is. Ryan Garcia at 24 has more than $40M net worth. Wait a while and we might be seeing him crossing over to boxing if he can escape Dana.

After the fight I found out that Topuria is a billionaire. For me it's like an anomaly. I mean some fighters are born from hard life so fighting becomes their passion. And most fighters who started from poor people and they fight to get money and improve their life. But Topuria is different. He is super rich since birth. And he loves to fight. And fortunately he can use the financial advantage to shape himself into a tough fighter. I can say Topuria is like a lab product because he has personal training and several personal assistants who monitor his physique, routine and nutrition. As a result he became a very complete fighter. One of the coolest sayings from Topuria is that he fights not for money, but for legacy. It looks like he will be one of the longest reigning champions in his division.

Forget Topuria, he wasn't a billinoner, If he was that rich, I don't think he would do mma. Fighters usually decide to become fighters because they live in bad conditions, the best example is the Bronxs.

Ilia Topuria is from Georgia. His parents immigrated from our country in 90s. They didn't do it because they were rich, they did it because they were poor and wanted a good life. Quality of life was very low in my country during that time and everyone was trying to migrate for a better life. Ilia's parents migrated with that reason.
How he became this rich is unknown for me but if everyone wants, I'll try to search for it, there might be some info in my local language. Btw I have a doubt that he might befriend with criminals. That's very common with fighters, especially with Georgian fighters because criminality was part of our mentality, it got fixed only a few years ago.
In one interview Ilia said that he does stock trading but I don't believe that. There is definitely something hidden but at the same time, we don't know how popular Topuria is in Spain. He might be making millions of dollars from advertisements and sponsorships. Is there someone from Spain to talk about him?

I've seen different info. Not a broken toe, but Muhammad go feet finger infection. Found a picture how it looks https://x.com/dannyseguratv/status/1852014990011621462. Looks nasty. One thing I was always interested about - such sick condition does not happen in hours or in just one day. This is not about Belal infection, but about all fighters who got such things. When dont they contact doctors when infection just started, but do it only when it is to late and it requires surgery or special actions. Like a person has a normal body part, make one blink and its already infected, rotten and damaged. It takes days. Its always a discomfort in infected area. But they are always so careless, that it leads to such NSFW condition... Especially refers to all those video of huge pimples with litres of pus. How come a person be so careless about his body and hygiene?

Yikes... Whatever it is, hopefully he gets well soon and the UFC makes a good match up for Rakhmonov. Hopefully it's Chim agreeing to go back down to 170. But wouldn't mind if it's a scrap vs Edwards or Usman for name value... It could even be vs Jack Della Maddalena who's in a 7 fight winning streak in the UFC.

Here are the weigh in results...

Brandon Moreno (125.5) vs Amir Albazi (125.5)
Erin Blanchfield (125.5) vs Rose Namajunas (125)
Jhonata Diniz (257) vs Derrick Lewis (266)
Caio Machado (205) vs Brendson Ribeiro (205)
Marc-Andre Barriault (185) vs Dustin Stoltzfus (185.5)
Trevin Giles (170) vs Mike Malott (170.5)
Pedro Munhoz (135) vs Aiemann Zahabi (135.5)
Ariane da Silva (125) vs Jasmine Jasudavicius (125)
Victor Henry (135) vs Charles Jourdain (135)
Jack Shore (145.5) vs Youssef Zalal (145)
Rodrigo Nascimento (264) vs Alexandr Romanov (261)
Garrett Armfield (135) vs Serhiy Sidey (135)
Chad Anheliger (135) vs Cody Gibson (135.5)
Jamey-Lyn Horth (126) vs Ivana Petrovic (125)

Everybody made weight, but I heard that Lewis is out. Not sure why.

It looks really bad, really bad. A bad injury, Belal will have to rest for a long time because of this injury.
I wanted to see this match, unfortunately it didn't happen, which made me sad.
Will they look for a new opponent for Shavkat or will Dana White arrange a completely new match in another weight class? Will Alex Pererira save this card too Cheesy

DDP vs Chim will be a badass, because we will see first time when DDP special ability to eat damage without taking any damage wont work Cheesy

I close my eyes and already see how Chimaev starts the fight with a double leg takedown, takes DDP to the fence and searches for position to choke DDP. A good chance to avenge Tills, Chimaevs friend, loss Cheesy

Funny how nobody gives a damn about Strickland, who is #1 and lost to champ only by split decision, and havent fought for 5 months.

Got some bad news:

Dana White in Trouble as Belal Muhammad Out of UFC 310 Fight Against Shavkat Rakhmonov

Their fight supposed to be last big fight and numeral event in 2024.

Oooohh right! There's that Darren Till angle.. They could even show vids of them training together to prepare Chim for DDP. Can't wait and hopefully the UFC does put Chim first. I don't really care for the rematch atm.

As for Muhammad, there's some news going around that he broke his toe. I guess what the UFC could do is make the Pantoja match the main event and make the Rakhmonov fight an interim championship and match him up against either Leon Edwards or Kamaru Usman. And doesn't Chim fight in 170 too? They could even call him up and make him an offer.

That's a bummer...
They are reporting Belal will be out for around 6 weeks, which is not that long. It would make sense for Shavkat to wait rather than to fight someone else on the 7th Dec.

Pereira is ready to drop weight to save the event. Volk is ready to gain to save the event Cheesy

I am 1000% sure of that Cheesy

Rakhmonov wished Belal recovery and states that he is ready to fight anyone for interim title. Btw, Usman fought last time year ago. He fought Chimaev on a short notice. Maybe he is able to prepare for Shavkat, 1 months is not enough, but still it is something. Usman could be a good match-up. They are close in rating table also. If Usman wins, a good chance for him to get belt back.

Very likely scenario. Chimaev has really good ground game. He seemed to prefer to engage in striking exchanges in his past fights (excl. Whittaker) but his grappling abilities could be the best in the division, or at least in the top 15.
I like DDP but I'm not giving him much chances if he were to face Chimaev. I think Strickland might get the title shot first. If they let Chim fight for the title next and he beats DDP in a similar fashion that he beat Whittaker, they won't have any worthy opponents for him anymore, so it makes sense for the UFC to squeeze a bit more money out of DDP and Strickland.
And let's not forget they are slowly preparing Bo Nickal to enter the top 15. He would be a great match-up for Chim in terms of the wrestling game.

Maybe Anka will accept it he seems very aggressive to have this fight before but this is a very short notice too which he might turn down.

Belal didn't give a reason? That's weird but I think Shavkat is a bit too much for him. UFC could have given him at least someone fair size and at his skill level.

I might be overestimating Khamzat, but what makes me overestimate Khamzat is Khamzat because he makes everything he does look so easy in his matches, so what he does is very impressive in my eyes...

Potan will probably fight against Ankalaev in his next match. Potan has a high probability of winning that fight. However, we will see how good he is against takedown attacks in that fight. Maybe then we will have a better idea about a possible Khamzat and Potan matchup...

By the way, I think we should not forget that Izzy put Potan to sleep and Khamzat is undefeated... :) Of course, there were bad periods when Khamzat had problems making weight before the match, and I think that should be a bigger shame than sleeping but he is undefeated... :)

I didn't see any surprise results at UFC 308... I especially followed Ibo Aslan. He had a very fast finish. He trained with former kickboxer Gökhan Saki. If he gets better rankings, the popularity of this organization in Turkiye will increase. Dana White said that if more fighters from Turkiye get to this level, one day we can have this event in Turkiye. That's why I care about Ibo Aslan. His knockout in less than 15 seconds was great. He is an important fighter for us...

İbo Aslan's UFC adventure is going very well. I hope he goes to the top ranks, he has potential.
He had Gökhan Saki in his corner, İbo Aslan said he felt much better with Gökhan Saki in his corner.
I believe we will see him in the top 10, I hope so, his rise in the UFC will have a big impact on the spread of mma in Türkiye.
