Not everyone will try to go legs and start to wrestle with a striker

So Ben Askren will have a chance to prove that he is worthy to be in UFC as he will headline an event in October 26 and its in Singapore.
I was waiting to see his next fight as the last knock out was unexpected and that is the only way you can lure a wrestling based fighter and Jorge Masvidal played the mind games perfectly by holding his hands behind his back and then sprinting towards him and i was really shocked to see the fight ending within seconds.Ben Askren is a big star in One FC but in UFC, he is not as special as he was treated in One FC. I hope he can redeem himself and ask for a rematch with Jorge Masvidal.
He is a popular fighter in the Asian circuits and he was a champion in Bellator too and UFC has some legit talents than the rest of these promotions and he will be having some tough competition inside UFC.BTW Ben Askren has been twitting about Bitcoin lately.
Ben Askren is pro crypto from the start and he is an intelligent individual who takes investment seriously. 
So Ben Askren will have a chance to prove that he is worthy to be in UFC as he will headline an event in October 26 and its in Singapore. When he fought Jorge Masvidal at UFC 239, prior to the fight his mouth is unstoppable but on the fight it self, all it takes for Jorge Masvidal is just 5 seconds to shut him up.

Ben Askren was undefeated in One FC and he has defended the belt for quite a long time that's they treat him well. I think UFC respects those achievements that's why he is still given the chance.

However, Conor was the only fighter to win a round versus Khabib. I reckon that with more focus on training and none on the drink and cocaine, he might give the fans a more competitive fight.
All three judges scored the third round to Conor McGregor but it was a really close round and in that round Khabib wanted to stand with him and bang without going for the take down and the rest of the rounds were hands down mauling as Conor had no answer for his chain wrestling. For someone who likes to party and own a own brand of whiskey it is hard to stop drinking and hence a competitive fight with Khabib is unlikely as Khabib takes him to the ground maul him and then stand with him and not in the first two rounds.Here is the scorecard
Quote
i have seen Javier Mendez telling that when Khabib came to the gym initially he never used to wear protective gears nor mouth piece even while training and even if his coach ask him to do so he will never listen because when he competed in combat sambo there was groin strikes and head butt and Khabib fought and never got defeated and he was not comfortable wearing all the protective gears and that shows his mentality.
Exactly. I would suggest McNugget Fans to watch "Anatomy of a fighter" youtube series just to get an idea where the guy comes from. When you have been trained for war the ring is nothing. A 'cut' is nothing when you have been training for your whole life both Mentally and Physically. The only way I see Khabib going down is by a TKO, else I don't see how he ends up on the losing side.

Only if he 'proves' himself. Let's not go there yet.
Not really, the quote of his dad was that he will give them the rematch, his dad didn't put any conditions, other than it being in Russia:
Quote
Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov told YouTube channel Zhivina100: “If McGregor wants it, then Moscow is waiting for him.
“He said once that he has more fans here than Khabib.
“We want to host him in Moscow, he is welcome – we are waiting.”
“He said once that he has more fans here than Khabib.
“We want to host him in Moscow, he is welcome – we are waiting.”
So it doesn't sound like anything other than a direct invitation to fight for me. Unless someone knows russian and can translate the source directly, 2020 rematch looks likely, unless Conor fights an intermediate bout and losses which is unlikely.
I also talked before about potential fight in 2021 Jon Jones vs Israel Adesanya,
and latest news is that someone needs to change weight category. We can also see Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic
Interesting times ahead of us

Joanna Jędrzejczyk vs. Michelle Waterson
Joanna Jędrzejczyk is a really tough opponent for Michelle Waterson, i am going with Joanna Jędrzejczyk because she was a former champion.Cub Swanson vs. Kron Gracie
Mackenzie Dern vs. Amanda Ribas
The rest of the fighters in this card, i have no idea.
I am exited for Max Holloway vs Alex Volkanovski that is planned for UFC in December 15th 2019
Some nice early odds for Holloway!
I think he will have no issues with Volkanovski
Anyway we are back to Fight Night here

watch "Anatomy of a fighter" youtube series just to get an idea where the guy comes from.
Will Harris is a real talent when it comes to capturing the essence of creating a good documentary and he is a one man army who does everything for his films including editing and i respect his talent and i am a fan of his movie making.When you have been trained for war the ring is nothing. A 'cut' is nothing when you have been training for your whole life both Mentally and Physically. The only way I see Khabib going down is by a TKO, else I don't see how he ends up on the losing side.
I do accept this fact, you can go back and see i said the exact same words, fighting is really uncertain and you can get any result and that is what we saw with Ben Askren as he was knocked out in record time and that can happen with Khabib but it is highly unlikely as his take down is different than rest of the grapplers and wrestlers.

You have got to be fucking kidding me!! He did "good" only cuz he fucking cheated like 6 times during the fight. You need to put Connor's dick aside and see the fight from a neutral pov mate. He doesn't deserve a 2nd chance after the way he got fucking mauled.
I do agree with this point, there is no way Conor deserves a second chance and after all he only had 2 fights in 155 pound division and he was completely dominated by Khabib and he will not get a rematch immediately but eventually they will fight if Conor come back and fight and get to title contention.Let's just see how Khabib handles Tony Ferguson. He's never been cut, let's see if he can deal with some massive cuts because he will get caught on Tony's elbows eventually.
I am sure Khabib will not bother a drop of blood or two, i have seen Javier Mendez telling that when Khabib came to the gym initially he never used to wear protective gears nor mouth piece even while training and even if his coach ask him to do so he will never listen because when he competed in combat sambo there was groin strikes and head butt and Khabib fought and never got defeated and he was not comfortable wearing all the protective gears and that shows his mentality.

Conor did better than all of his previous opponents if you actually look at the fight from a neutral pov.

Fighting is a very complex game,
For Khabib it isn't, it's his fucking life. I would suggest you watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnOVaDaGslQ to see where Khabib comes from. He is a fucking killer and the environment he grew up in can't be compared with anything that he gets in the ring... smdh...
Ok mate fair enough, im done discussing with Khabib nuthuggers which claim you aren't looking at things from a neutral POV. Let's just see how Khabib handles Tony Ferguson. He's never been cut, let's see if he can deal with some massive cuts because he will get caught on Tony's elbows eventually. I will not comment on Conor further. But like it or not, there's a rematch happening in 2020, mostly because Khabib's dad said they will give him the rematch in Russia. We will find out one way or another if Conor ever had a chance. Everyone acted as if Conor never had a chance to beat Nate on the second fight specially at 170lbs and he did what was suppose to be impossible, which is why I can't rule out a win on the rematch even if by a low margin.
I'm with thekool1s. I think McGregor needs to prove himself first (vs Gaethje, Poirier, Ferguson) before being given the biggest fight in his division. He's not the fighter he was imho... 'You can't train in silk pajamas'. Lolol.
But I'm willing to take all that aside, let him fight Khabib for the entertainment value of the build up.
Lets us not forget the KARATE HOTTIE is also competing and is the MAIN Event
I dont think she will win but I do think she will lose looking HOT
I dont think she will win but I do think she will lose looking HOT
Thank you for posting news...
it will keep me motivated to watch here.I hope there will be some more submissions and less punching...
Whoa! I know what you are thinking!
hope it can be pure submission as well, but anyways my girl Michelle Waterson really has an amazing body and beauty as well but I guess Joanna Jedrzejczyk has the upper hand when it comes to reaching, but I hope Waterson has much experience when it comes to fighters that have a height and reach advantage than her, but I guess Jedrzejczyk outrank Waterson when it comes Muay Thai and kickboxing background against Waterson that are only versed on Karate, Joanna had a large odds than Michelle but I am still hoping that Michelle Waterson can pull win if she can take this fight to the ground with her Wrestling and Submission moves, But Joanna had a good striking advantage so Waterson needs to be clever in making a move and pounding her to the ground.Anyway, I am still going with Michelle Waterson against the higher odds for Joanna if Waterson would win it is a big win for me as well.
Everyone wants a piece of Khabib. They almost fought but Max still wants that fight https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/ufc/max-holloway-explains-why-he-needs-to-fight-khabib-nurmagomedov-for-his-legacy/?amp
This sure is interesting to watch too. I don't know if Holloway improved his ground game though. He's been submitted before.

Good to see Cub fighting again. He was fun to watch some years back and I thought he could become a UFC champion.
