I will probably skip this UFC event Eye vs. Calvillo, as there are no interesting fights for me,
but I am excited and waiting for June 20th and heavyweight fight main event Blades vs. Volkov!
Week after that is also great

Too bad 1/2 of the main and co-main event both missed weight. Nobody probably cares too much about this card but it's still not good for UFC's image. Also a bad timing.

Anyone who placed their bet on Cynthia Calvillo is most likely to win as Jessica Eye really struggled to make weight and even said "I’m done guys. I don’t think I can stand". I don't think she'll have enough time to recover and be 100% ready for the fight.

New fights announced for UFC on June 27th
Dustin Poirier vs. Dan Hooker as main event, and whole card is looking very good.
This should not be missed event Wink
Looking at early betting odds, Poirier is heavy favorite, but I am not sure he will win so easy.

I don't know, I've never been there. But AFAIK those countries and their leaders don't like to be seen as too permissive and miscreant. So for public shows they are not as lenient as they can be for private affairs. I do think sponsors and advertisements for alcoholic beverages will be banned for example.
To all my fellow friends, you can visit UAE and Bahrain and if you have money then you can live like a king as you get everything, including drinks and there are ladies clubs and bars and you can get a good lap dance and you can pick anyone you want and have fun and that is the freedom you get in two countries i mentioned, yes they follow the same religion but they have a liberal out take on things.

If a country is open for tourism you have to expect that alcohol and other fantasies are readily available. I do not want to be blunt but that is the reality of things and these are not hear say but what i have experienced. The only restriction comes during Ramadan and you have to respect that and from my experience my Arab friends would party at night and they would fast during day time Grin.

I am not telling that everyone is like my friends but there are many Arab friends who are liberal.

Very futuristic arena indeed... but since it's in a muslim country I'm not sure Dana White will be able to do whatever he wants.
For example I'm not sure the usual outfits of female fighters will be allowed, even more for the ring girls...  Undecided
You have no idea what is going on in UAE, it is not that strict like the rest of the Muslim countries. It is a paradise if you have money and you will get anything and there is no restrictions for Women. You can get a lap dance in dance bars with semi nude girls and you think the fighters are not able to wear their outfits Cheesy .

Here's a couple of tapes to watch before taking some action for the main event.  Smiley  Between Eye and Calvillo, I'm leaning Calvillo.  She's 1.89 at FJ.  

I think Eye is just gonna have a hard time going after the more dynamic Carvillo imho.  

Free Fight:  Calvillo vs Casey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egqHlEO0jA8&t=390s

Free Fight:  Eye vs Clark
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7xkc9XKog4&t=425s

Edit:  And the upstart Adashev seems to be a decent bet at 2.02 vs a declining Tyson Nam.

If we look back at their second fight, DC could have won that one too if not for those nasty Stipe body shots. Maybe that's playing on DC's mind to this day. Nobody wants to go out with a feeling of regret. He'll probably do his best to redeem himself.
It is true that Daniel Cormier was winning the fight until Stipe Miocic started digging deep and started landing some of the brutal body shots i have seen in MMA and it was perfect as he landed many liver shots which took Cormier apart and he was not having an answer for the liver shot. It is a perfect situation and third fight will determine the best heavyweight of the generation.

This is the Island where Ferrari World is located. I thought that Dana was building something by himself, his own venue or something like that. But all that time he was just seeking for a venue. I'm 99.9% sure that is going to be Abu Dhabi's Etihad Arena, that was planned to host its first event on April 1[/url]
Yup the Ferrari World is located in Yash Island but it is a really a huge place and i visited the Ferrari world just to see the spectacle and it is pretty expensive, i am sure they will be building everything from the ground to conduct fights and i have been to the last Khabib fight and it was crazy.

Dana White just fooled everyone making them believe that he is building something near the US  Cheesy.

There are reports coming out that Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje will fight at UFC 253 and i am sure it will take place in Yash Island because the last event was a huge success even though the arena was crazy hot  Cheesy.

During ufc 242, that was in Abu Dabi, women in prelims weigh-ins wear joga pants or something long, not usual shorts. But not all of them had their shoulders covered. But fights they were dresses as usual.

~ I knew it! Burns next match would be a title shot Cheesy. What I'm not expecting is why it seems too fast. I wonder if Burns can be able to fully recover and acquire adequate training with the given amount of time. But anyway, there's no turning back for him. This might be his last chance so he must give everything to beat Nigerian Nightmare.
Burns got a "lucky" break. Recovery time could be a few weeks only because he didn't look beat up from his last fight. Not sure about last chance but this is probably his best chance. The sudden switch of opponents could affect Usman's mentality. It's not easy for fighters/athletes who are mentally preparing for a fighter only to find out that he'll be fighting another.



~
Then he should have retired long time ago.
He havent fought for almost a year. He is 41 already, he has proved everything to everyone already. This is his last fight. Do you really think he is super motivated to train right now? I think this is more Dana’s promotional game and DC will be in the ring mostly for the cheque imho.
You still do not understand what is obvious here, Daniel Cormier does not want to retire from MMA after a loss. He did not fight for over an year is simply because the only fight he wants to do is against a rematch against Stipe Miocic to retire with the belt and not having plans to fight anyone else. Under these circumstances do you think Daniel Cormier is not motivated to finish his career on the top Roll Eyes.

If we look back at their second fight, DC could have won that one too if not for those nasty Stipe body shots. Maybe that's playing on DC's mind to this day. Nobody wants to go out with a feeling of regret. He'll probably do his best to redeem himself.

As DC said, this is going to be his last fight and after he is going to finish his fighting career. Cant wait to see how he is going to retire, with or without champions belt.

I think that Miocic would win, as DC is planning to retire, he wont show 200% of his skills Smiley
Do you seriously think that Cormier will not dedicate in training to win his last fight in his career, it is really a dumb thinking to view that DC will not try to win the fight, any fighter wanted to retire on top for his legacy if not he would have retired when he lost to Miocic in his last fight.

He might be promoting it but that doesn't mean it's available worldwide. It's pretty silly that you can't get it in the UK. Not sure why it hasn't been released yet. I'm sure it would have sold pretty well just on his name alone.
It is weird why that is not available in the UK, the whiskey got the push in the US because of the McGregor brand and the way in which he was promoting in Las Vegas and other casinos.

The trilogy is on Shocked — the best way to make a conclusion on their rivalry! Miocic vs Cormier III will be held on August 15. I'm so excited now. Let's see who will defend the title against Ngannou lol.
Finally we are going to see the final fight of this great triolgy and the winner will have the claim to be the baddest fighter of this generation and if Daniel Cormier could retire in peace if he wins this one, i wished he would have retired after the Derrick Lewis fight on top rather than fighting Stipe Miocic but now he wants to regain that lost title to retire again, either way it will be one hell of a fight.

^  I sincerely hope Usman has a really bad night and royally loses the bout, making Masvidal and Woodley feel they missed out.  Grin
 
Kamaru Usman will be a really tough fight for Gilbert Burns but with the ground credentials of Burns it is interesting if there will be an upset. Masvidal will be pissed off for missing out on the pay battle.

Not as tropical as I imagined but still should be pretty cool. Shame that both Conor and Masvidal were offered fights but turned them down. Those two fighting whether against someone else or together would have been huge. Hopefully they can both get over their temper tantrums with the UFC and get a deal done to fight at some point.

I don't know what his stakes are but it's not something he owns completely and is more like a partnership. He could have anywhere from 10% to 50% or maybe even more or less. Selling out of the product doesn't mean much though if there's not much supply to begin with. You can't even buy it in the UK yet (apart from Ireland).
I thought his whiskey was available in the UK as McGregor is advertising the whiskey all the time even during his fight promotions, i thought McGregor had major stakes in the whiskey business and he is earning money with it on top of the $100 million he earned with the Mayweather fight and i am sure he made some good investment with the money he earned.

He might be promoting it but that doesn't mean it's available worldwide. It's pretty silly that you can't get it in the UK. Not sure why it hasn't been released yet. I'm sure it would have sold pretty well just on his name alone.
