They want to make money out of fighting. But they definitely love the smell of blood in the same manner they love the smell of cash. Nate's loss to Masvidal is something he can make an excuse of. And so asking for an opportunity to face him again inside the octagon in a rematch is both income-generating and a great opportunity to prove that their previous battle could have gone the other way had the doctor not intervened. Let us wait what Dana has to say on this.

This UFC card does little of interest for me other then 2 or 3 fights
I am excited for 'VIOLENCE QUEEN' to win in her home country

Nick Diaz might fight again. However, is this only Nick and Nate's plan to make more money out of a losing situation? I reckon the Diaz brothers are using their popularity in the sport only to get the money. They might have lost their passion for mixed martial arts.


While Nick Diaz said he was “absolutely not” interested in resuming his fighting career, he may make an exception for Jorge Masvidal.

Earlier this month, Masvidal collided with Nick’s younger brother Nate. “Gamebred” scored a third-round TKO win via doctor’s stoppage. Nick was none too pleased with Masvidal saying that he wanted to “baptize” Nate.

Diaz dropped hints of wanting to fight Masvidal in AT&T Stadium. Helwani reached out to Diaz’s team, who confirmed that that’s the one fight Nick wants for spring 2020.

Stop joking, Craig, Oliveira, Muniz, Perez, Ramos, Garagorri, Moraes - these names are at least by ear. And the cherry on the cake, the beauty Ariane Lipski, who lost at the beginning of the summer, Molly McCann. She’s a fighter so-so, but it’s always nice to watch a beautiful girl

Among all the fighters I'm familiar only with Souza and Rua. Haven't seen Rua for a long time. I was thinking that he has retired...

Jan Błachowicz - doesn't seems like a problem to Souza, based on opponents Blachowicz had. If was an experienced UFC fighter, Blachowicz loses, if not - a win
Rua seems to win his fight as he is more experienced.

Since Max Holloway has an opponent to face in Alexander Volkanovski which is scheduled for the December card we might see Zabit Magomedsharipov and Yair Rodriguez as they are ranked 5 and 6 respectively and any fight with these two opponents will be a spectacle for the audience as you will see many unorthodox techniques.

Since this is a Brazilian even you will see many fan favorites in the event and in the main event Jan Blachowicz is the favorite as Ronaldo Souza is moving up in weight.

The card is having all the veterans fighting to make money and hence no one is interested in these fights  . One thing i did not understand is that Jan Błachowicz is a light heavyweight fighter and Ronaldo Souza is a 185 pound fighter and i am not sure why he moved up and took that fight and Maurício Rua is another veteran who is in the later part of his fighting career, the rest of the fighters are literally not known to me.

After David Zawada's two consecutive lost he then makes a comeback by making a win over Abubakar Nurmagomedov and after their fight he humbly respects the Nurmagomedov family despite all the trash talks he got so respect to the guy, and I think this is not been expected by Abubakar at all.


That is what I think as well, Zabit Magomedsharipov is not yet ready for a Max Holloway fight Although Zabit's limits would mostly only for four to five rounds he can have a fighting chance if he would surely build his Cardio but in the latest news he said that he is certainly having trouble with a bacterial infection and that is what he is having problem regarding his cardio,

But yes I also want to see a Zabit VS Yair fight as well and rooting for that day to come.

I am not to exited about this UFC Fight Night 1644 in Brazil
None of the fighters I follow are on the card.
Jan Błachowicz have better odds by bookies, but he is going at Ronaldo Souza home.
Anything can happen really

Guys, cool down, FIGHT NIGHT 163 a dull shit card turned out compared to 244
When will you start discussing Blachowicz vs. Jacare

Zabit is in a category that is different from others, not sure about his normal walking weight but with the height he is having about 185 cm it is unusual to see a fighter weighing at 145 pounds and there is no clarity on how much weight he is cutting to get to this weight division, what ever be the case he is extremely talented and the only flaw is his cardio and how he utilize his energy inside the cage as he usually gas out in the final few minutes of the third round and to become a champion he needs to improve his cardio to last five rounds.

Ok guys, I understand that Zabit should focus on cardio more or at least be more prepared.

But when I look on him I really want to go with to McDonalds or any other fastfood and simply feed him 

I always thought, that if you substract 100 from your height, you will get your ideal weight (kilos and centimeters ) That doesnt work with Zabit

Zabit Magomedsharipov is not ready to face Max Holloway and he needs to improve his cardio and i was surprised this was a 3 round main event and if this was a five round event i am sure Zabit Magomedsharipov could have struggled. There is another interesting fight we can have in this division and that is Yair Rodríguez v Zabit Magomedsharipov as both were supposed to fight earlier but Yair Rodríguez pulled out for unknown reason and i would like to see that fight next.

Do study about building a strong cardio vascular system that will help in delivering more oxygen to your muscles which is crucial in having a good stamina. It is not about skinny bones and cutting weight it is about strengthening your cardio vascular system .

Abubakar Nurmagomedov might be too confident going into this bout and for David Zawada it is a do or die fight and he already lost two fights and if he lost this fight he would have been released from the UFC and everything was going according to Nurmagomedov and he took him down but he never expected he could get stuck in a triangle chock and  Conor started his fun games after the fight.

What are you talking about everybody needs cardio in their workout and it doesn't mean that if your skin and bones it only burns fat but also from muscle and it strengthens the heart as well, he will surely get the benefits of cardio not just to last long in his fight but a benefit to strengthen his muscles as well Performing cardio can give you additional benefits above lifting, Strength and cardiovascular workouts can work synergistically so both workouts will come in better results than training his strength alone, But recent interview to Zabit that he got an infection that is why his cardio got impacted in his fight with Calvin Kattar.

Congrats to the winners on the UFC Fight Night 163

Feeling sorry for Khabib's Cousin Abubakar but David Zawada exposes Abubakar's weakness but then again I think he is just starting and can attempt another try on his next match.

Abubakar Nurmagomedov actually lost the fight in the first round due to submission and his debut got a reality check as you cannot win the fight that easily and even when you take the opponent down the chances of submissions are really high if you are not careful and that is what happened in this fight  .

Alexander Volkov is a veteran of the sport and he was a Bellator heavyweight champion and Greg Hardy is fighting because he thinks he can beat most of the trained martial artist and he has the power, but when there is a skilled fighter in front of you, power will not help you that much and that is what happened in this match.

It was reported by that Hardy had injured his right hand. But regardless though, Volkov is the better of the two overall, he has all the tools to beat Hardy that night.

Hardy just rely of his jabs and power shots, but this is a good lessons for him, he really need to train a lot, I didn't see him use his legs, probably throwing couple of low kicks. Volkov started the fight with kicks and then they trade jabs. But Hardy had a good chin though, I think it was in round 2 wherein he was hit by a high kick but just take it.

Good night for most russian fighters.
Hardy had some injury during the fight and Volkov was better in this fight.
Danny Roberts Bombs had nice KO vicoty against Zelim Imadaev

If he'll add cardio to his training, he would die. Come on, the is already thin like a straw and weighs 66kilos. Imagine him doing cardio, cutting his haircut and beard - skin and bones.

Well, I guess it is not available in any regular channel so sorry I guess but you can surely watch live streaming on ESPN+ but it is not available to some countries due to content right issue, like what happens to my county Live Streaming is not applicable as well, or if you had access I guess you will need to pay for you to take a peek on a match, I am currently watching on my local cable channel on FOX Sports and it is on at the moment,

Edit: No Preliminary Card I am watching the fight between Shamil Gamzatov VS Klidson Farias de Aubreu right now that means this is all on the Main Card.





Well, I also think Zabit Magomedsripov need to train his cardio and enhanced this department so he can have a better chance against Max Holloway, Even though he is a real contender for a Max Holloway fight, in my opinion, he is not ready if he would have a problem with his cardio.
