Mokaev very poor here.

Only 23 and maybe the humbling he needs.

Mokaev lost that.

Nate v Jorge in boxing June and only 80 dollars if you are American.😍

The question isn't whether this will be any good, it really won't , but who the hell is going to pay for this ?!

80 dollars, sweet jesus. Some hope of me paying to watch them on a UFC card again, you know it'd be carnage but to watch two MMA fighters box no way I'm paying

I see James Gallagher lost last night by UD

What a bust of a fighter he’s been for someone that Bellator really were desperate to put all of their chips into at one stage

Bellator knew exactly how poor "Jimmy" was , they used him to piggy back off the Connor fame & Irish support of MMA at the time

Look at the lads they had him fight absolute cans ,

Very one dimensional. if he couldn't get the opponent to the ground, he suffered badly. Zero Stand Up ability.

Khamzat Chimiaev fighting Bobby knuckles in the Saudi card in June. Main event, I'm very interested to see khamzat over 5 rounds, if it goes the distance I definitely fancy rob

Porthallian

Decent looking card already.

Main: Khamzat Vs Whittaker

CoMain: Pavlovich Vs Volkov

Gastelum Vs D-Rodriguez

Johnny Walker Vs Oezdemir

Sharabutdin Magomedov Vs Potieria

Khamzat would have been champ at WW but he will get smoked at MW

You had a blow up LW in Gilbert put it on him

Usman would of easily beat him over 5 rounds at wealterweight. I reckon Leon would too

5 rounds is a different fight. And it’s possible that Usman would have taken a 5 rounder.

But I don’t think we can say he’d have done it easily given he was 10-8’d by Chimaev.

Reports from the US that Jon Jones has been arrested for threatening a drug testing agent 😂

you’d assume by now they’re so well acquainted that they’d be close friends

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only individual that can stop Jon Jones is Jon Jones himself.

Graham Boylan had some meltdown over the weekend if you're to believe everything. Banning Petsey Carroll from CW170 was only ever going to end badly for him.

Now he's done a turnabout on his 'ban' on SBG fighters competing in Cage Warriors, certainly interesting times ahead. I feel sorry for the SBG fighters that missed out over the last 8 or so years.

Ufc 304 in Manchester is official. Main card is at 3am though. Presume it's going to be a decent card since they want the American audience to see it . My guess

Aspinall v gane.

Leon v Belal

Gary v Colby

. Pimblet v moicano.

3am, cant the yanks pirate PPV's in the afternoon for a change FFS

EagererBeaver

Isn't that what they did for Bisping Vs Hendo 2?

IIRC a load of lads here were flying over on the Saturday evening and home late Sunday morning.

Ya you're correct. There was a card in Sweden back then that was on at 3am local time too I remember someone from here going to it
