KSW puts on some good solid entertaining shows. I've been buying their cards for the past year or so. It helps they are only like $10. Would totally recommend buying it.

He did commentary all night for the card. And numerous times called out Paddy and others, I think Beneil a bunch

Also, said that if Punk wants his job back (he does commentary for them) he has to fight Renato to get it back

Because this weekend's card is being held in California Manouk Akopyan was able to file a request for the rare actual, legitimate minimum payouts on the card with the commission, and from greatest to least:

I may have mixed feelings on Mackenzie Dern, but whoever her manager is, they're the best in the business.

I checked everyone and see if they fought in Cali before

Alexander Volkanovski: $125,000 ($60,000 win bonus) 12/29/18
Paulo Costa: $120,000 (includes $60,000 win bonus) 8/17/19
Merab Dvalishvili: $10,000 12/9/17
Henry Cejudo: $100,000 (no win bonus) defeated Demetrious Johnson 8/4/18

It also appears none of the three people the UFC offered a shot against Leon Edwards were Belal Muhammad. God bless the endless attempts to destroy the welterweight division.

I wonder if he just made it known he won't fight, like Khamzat , cause Ramadan. Still crazy it wasn't even offered but given how they treat him not too crazy.


So which 3 fighters they offer? I just assumed it was Belal, Khamzat and Shavkat. I don't know if Shavkat is a Muslim but he had an injury last fight to recover from.

According to a buddy

quote:

Also, the title is a pretty good pun. Reading is as Es "Top" (2 words) means both "He is the best" and "He is Top(uria)" but if you read it as "Estop" (one word) it means "to finish" as in KO

I can't do a write up nearly anything remotely to Carl or Lobster but just to mention KSW EPIC show Saturday.
It is another arena show which usually means KSW goes out of their way to put on a crazy fun show.
Last time a guy rapped while on top a van with a giant cake and girls firing off flamethrowers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=outU0orcBTU

This show should be pretty fun for the very fact it has all sorts of match types.

Like MMA fights? You are getting 4 of them
Muay Thai more your thing? We got a caged MT fight!
Sub only? Oh you bet there is a sub only fight
How about a boxing match? Of course!
Any wrestling fans? How about a good old No Holds Barred match! ( i honestly have no idea what the rules are)
The answer to the age old question which is better BJJ or Judo, will be answered in a BJJ vs Judo match!
And finally for the old heads out there rules match!

wtf is Chandler testifying about, didn't he just get here?
My guess is he will testify to current contract negotiations stuff since he is an active fighter (Tate I think is still active).

I'm a bit surprised company bootlicker DC isn't in the list


You also have managers as well.
Ali Abdelaziz
Jason House
Josh Jones

Just Ali only is laughable. The guy is practically "employed" by the UFC.

ONE Championship 166 - Friday, March 1st. 7:30 AM ET, PPV

Instead of my normal method of a full card breakdown, I’m just going to talk about the stuff that sounds Pretty Interesting.

There are 3 Muay Thai and one kickboxing bout on this card, and those are usually pretty good. I was hoping we’d get some actual Thai fighters, but I’ll take whatever tiny gloves face punching is on offer.

Arjan Bhullar and Amir Aliakbari are facing off in a heavyweight tilt. This one should be fun to watch because Aliakbari is probably going to be full of around nine different illicit substances. But this fight is two heavyweight wrestlers, so it’s probably going to resemble a pair of elephant seals clashing for about thirty seconds and then they’ll just lean on each other for the rest of the fight.

Next up, Jarred Brooks defends the Flyweight title in a rematch against Joshua Pacio. Since their first bout, Brooks lost to Mikey Muscumeci in a submission grappling match, while Pacio defeated Mansur Malachiev. It’s a flyweight fight, so I expect a lot of action, both on the feet and on the ground.

In Lightweight title action, Kai Tang defends his belt in another rematch against Interim champ Thanh Le. Tang and Le had a good fight back in 2022, and a knee injury kept Tang out of running it back immediately in 2023. Le kept busy with an Interim title fight against Ilya Freymanov, submitting his opponent in just over one minute.

In the Main Event, we have another rematch, as Anatoly Malykhin takes on Renier de Ridder once again. Will Dutch grapples be able to survive against heavy Russian punches? Probably not, considering what happened last time!

It's violence morning over on Prime

This isn't a "one Friday night" card. It's a numbered ONE event and therefore has all sorts of fights.
Also, it's in Qatar so they want to show off everything.


And Herb with the red card! Lmaoooo

I wonder how much Bhullar has fleeced from Chatri over the years.

Is Chatri even there? Someone else was holding the belt in the ring

And, good fight! Finally some action
drat, main event already.

Expecting Malykhin to get a finish again. The drop to LHW isn't going to change anything I think.

The constant body work Malykihn put in really paid off. Every time against the cage he went to the body for 1 or 2 punches. And he got a solid 1 or 2 knees to the head in that last finishing exchange on the ground.
RDR just had nothing for him.

And I beleive this makes Malykhin the first MMA fighter in a major org to hold 3 titles at the same time.
Also, still laughing at the size of the titles
