His condition has worsened. It appears we might witness an angry Khabib return on September and his anger might also be used by Dana and Trump for storyboards and propaganda against China's coronavirus.

I also predict Weili Zhang will be thrown to Valentina Shevchenko's den by uncle Dana hehehehe.



In the latest report from media outlets, it’s been said that Abdulmanap’s condition has worsened and he is now on life support as he cannot breathe unassisted (via RT). Abdulmanap has been battling COVID-19.

“More than 20 of my close relatives have suffered (from) COVID-19 and also had to stay in intensive care. Some of them are not with us anymore,” Khabib said, as translated to MMA Junkie by two sources. “As for my father, there’s been so much support, and people kept asking about my father.

The greatest of all time is determined by the domination of a fighter, Jon Jones never lost a fight in his career and he is the youngest champion in light heavyweight division and if he was not involved in personal issues Daniel Cormier who i think is another one of the greatest fighters ever will not even get the opportunity to become the champion at light heavyweight division. Just check the resume of fighters Jon Jones faced in his career and that is more than enough to determine his greatness. The cleaned out the legends of the sport and now he is cleaning up the present generation.

Light weight, Welter weight and Middle Weight division are packed with talents and since Jon Jones cleaned up the division there is no challenge for him in his division.

I was impressed with Angela Hill and i did not expect her to fight a close fight. I thought Angela Hill should have given the victory and even though i waged a bet on Claudia Gadelha to win but it was disappointing because she was knocked down in the second round and she was loosing the stand up battle.

Even i was expecting Overeem to sleep because of his glass jaw but i have no idea how he survived

If Woodley accepts the fight then it can be a title eliminator against Leon Edwards .

I was surprised Overeem wasn't reemin' after that knock down.  Lolol. 

Next event is gonna be just another filler event.  If only Woodley took a fight vs Leon Edwards.  It would've been waaay better.

We can see that Alistair Overeem really fight smartly in this fight over Harris although I am happy with the results I did have a doubt that he could win over Walt Harris still I do really want him to win this match even though I have bet on Harris, This sure let Overeem take a mark that he has changed with the way he does things in the ring after the Horrific Injury he concurred in his fight with Jairzinho Rozenstruik but again I think that nobody can stop this man in getting what he wants.

And I think Claudia Gadelha looks Impressive and she never gives up in finishing the fight against Angela Hill it is a grueling fight but she managed to sway the judges that she is better than Hill, she admits that Angela Hill was a fast opponent, that is why kudos to this beautiful and strong woman for winning.

First, I disagree that the LH is the toughest division because Lightweight is a tougher one . Second, no doubt that Bones is a good fighter because I once became fan of it. However, I noticed that he is not the same as before. Before, he was so aggressive, hungry for glory despite of how big his opponent is (I suddenly remember how he beat Machida and Shogun); but now it's very obvious that he is always playing safe in his recent fights. Therefore, I realized that he is not the greatest of all time. Check the HOF, they are closer to be proclaimed by that title .
Not only the size difference but also the eye pokes or any skrt of dirty moves lol. Just kidding.

I was expecting Walt Harris to win the fight considering the weak chin of Alister Overeem and i was not aware of the tragedy and the emotions he was going through and if i knew this situation i would have stayed away from betting on him, either way it was a great fight as Overeem was able to somehow able to survive the first round and then come back and finish Harris in the second round.

These were great picks, Alistair Overeem showed his veteran class, i thought he would get knocked down in the first round but survived and came back and win the fight in the second round.

Conor McGregor is showing the good side, the pandemic might have changed many .

If Jon Jones is planning to move to heavyweight he should wait for Francis Ngannou to win the title which will be probably in a years time and then fight him and it will be the biggest fight in heavyweight in a very long time.

The light heavyweight division is the most talent stacked and the toughest division and Jon Jones ruled the division like anyone else in history and that is the only reason every consider him as the greatest MMA fighter of all time, the heavyweight division is not even competitive.

Israel Adesanya is not ready to fight Jon Jones and that is not his fault, Jon Jones is not going down to face him, Israel Adesanya has to come to his division and i bet Jon Jones will smoke him simply because of the size difference.

I did not bet in this fight because of the emotional stress Walt Harris went through after loosing his step daughter just recently.

For those who were not aware of the Aniah case where she was kidnapped and murdered and that is the reason the fight against Overeem was cancelled last time and i was not sure in what shape or emotional Walt Harris was and hence did not wage a bet in the fight. It was emotional to see everyone reaching out to him after the fight.

These were 3 good events in just 7 days. Sadly now we have to wait again for some action. Even though there is a scheduled event UFC 250 on June 7, but it is still TBD tag.

although Overeem is a little ahead with the age in my opinion he remains a first-class fighter, he has resisted very well to Harris's initial outbursts and managed to keep him(Harris) on the ground for most of the time in the second round until the technical knockout, i had bet on Harris

Psh! I'm not buying this hahaha. Bones only seems brave and ready to fight on the way he talks against Predator but in reality he's scared of leaving the Light HW division ~ change my mind . If you remembered, there's also a beef existed between him and Adesanya before and yet nothing happened lol. See? That's the same thing we can foresee in this recent case with Ngannou. You know what, Jon already got nothing to prove in his "comfort division" so he must be the one who step up and not his opponents if he's really eager to fight them. Haay lot's of talks but no actions .

UFC Fight Night 176

Overeem KOs Harris in round 2 - I think it was a mistake for Harris to go in for the kill in the first round after landing some good punches. It's no secret that Overeem gasses out quickly but it was him who gassed out after throwing a flurry of punches. He should have waited and pushed the pace in rounds 3 to 5. Kudos to Overeem for remaining calm though.

Other fight results:
Jotko wins by unanimous decision over Anders
Ige wins by split decision over Barboza
Gadelha wins by split decision over Hill

@eaLiTy. That is good but bad for Conor, however hehe.

It appears Jon Bones Jones might rescue his career and image by fighting on the heavyweight decision. The opponent will be the big fellow hehehehe.

My bet/tips for tonight's fight card. Feel free to follow or fade. 

Anthony Smith came out and said about the details of his injury, he had a broken nose as well as broke his orbital bone and not one but two teeth are gone and the brain damage he attained and i really doubt he can be the same fighter again with the kind of injuries he sustained.

  His father opened his eyes and hopefully he will recover well. The support and prayer he from everywhere was surprising, even McGregor praised his dad and wished him recovery.

McGregor only fought twice at 170 pounds in his career and that too against Nate Diaz, his record is one win which was really close and a loss where he completely gassed out.

Even if the restrictions are lifted, they are spending a lot of money constructing the infrastructure and it will be ready by June as per the words of Dana White.

Alistair Overeem VS Walt Harris I really think this is a great main event on the heavyweight division, and I really like Alistair Overeem he is one of the most skilled heavyweights in the mixed martial art industry, but his opponent look beefy and intimidating Walt Harris won both of his bouts in 2019 scoring both fights in knockouts but his fight with Arlovski has turned into a no-contest after a failed rug test, But still, Walt Harris is showing a good sign in winning this in my opinion, I really like Overeem but I think Harris can win this fight.

This is what I know and this could be wrong. But, based on the scenario that you posted above (fight ends in the 2nd round), the winning bet for it would be Over 1.5. If my understanding is correct, the Under 1.5 will only push through if someone will win on the 1st round.

Anyone, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. 

Was scrolling through ufc new on youtube and found out that Ngannou and Jon Jones are started “to talk” to promote their next fight. I’m a bit confused, isnt Jon Jones in other weight division? Jon’s dirty style wont help him to survive agains the beast. One punch and his head will fly through the fence

I agree with you Overeem is still a star fighter and it's still pleasant to watch him fighting but he begins to get a little bit old IMO.

---

BTW could you tell me what that means :



It means more or less than 1.5 rounds will be completed or will have been started ?
If the fight ends in the second round. 2 rounds will have begun but only one will have been completed. So what would be the outcome for that bet?
