Zwicker is tough but he will get destroyed. I’ll watch.

Looking forward to Minakov vs Johnson this weekend.

This upcoming UFC on Fox card is great.

This has been a great month.

My main critic of Rizin is they are only having one HW fight on NYE, Crocop vs TK (a legends fight). It is NYE man, look at the old NYE cards, some of the best in the sports history.

They got a 1-0 chick vs a 0-0 chick on the NYE card, that is not the sort of fight that made fans around the world fall in love with JMMA.

Shinju Nozawa-Auclair is pretty and she might be a good fighter but nobody wants to see a 1-0 vs 0-0 WMMA on “the new Pride’s” NYE show.

And Garcia fighting that 53 year old is criminal.

UFC 219 is on paper 10x better than both Rizin shows combined.

I’ll still watch the Rizin shows but there is not much there this year.

The Japanese can't even get Carwin for God's sake. Looks like that Yakudza money running out

They need some billionaire financing like Fight Nights Global.

Can’t wait to watch the uncrowned HW champ of the world fight tomorrow.

UFC on Fox will be awesome too.

Despite the occasional bullshit cards or fights… this is why I can’t stop being a diehard UFC fan, cards like this. I like some other promotions but UFC is still the gold standard for top to bottom quality cards that make you want to sit down and watch all twelve or fourteen fights instead of just the top three or four.

The real world champion “The Next Emperor” Vitaly Minakov is also set to fight Tony Johnson in a few hours.

War Minakov!

BJ Penn Forever - The real world champion "The Next Emperor" Vitaly Minakov is also set to fight Tony Johnson in a few hours.

War Minakov!

According to Minakov, he received about 20k for Kongo fight and even much less for the Volkov bout. Coker prepared a better contract for him but Minakov couldn't sign it as he was already set to fight Graham on Fedor vs Fabio card.

btw The Next Emperor (or The New Emperor? something to that extent) is what Kadyrov calls Aleks these days lol

That is a shame he has had the issues with Bellator/Fight Nights.

Promotional bullshit can be annoying. You know, as fans we want to see the best guys fighting each other.

Really unfortunate we can’t see Minakov vs Miocic/Ngannou/Werdum because of the structure of MMA.

You are right, it is “The New Emperor”.

That is hilarious Kadyrov calls Aleks that.

Too bad Tank Abbott and Aleks never fought when Aleks arrived on the scene.

Someone should have let those guys get drunk and had them fight each other bare knuckle in an actual bar or back alley. Could be a whole new genre of MMA, like that team MMA crap and knight fighting.

Getting into the home stretch:

Dec. 23 KSW

Dec. 23 ACB

Dec. 29 Rizin

Dec. 30 UFC 219

Dec. 31 Rizin

So far so good.
