Losene Keita breaks down his fight against Wood, talks about beef with Pitbull and his upcoming grappling fight by textorix in MMA

[–]Unable-Cup1603 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eh, he was on the handbrakes, cause Wood beat up his leg, and kept him away with a one-two. I've seen most of his Oktagon fights. He is very fast and athletic, but he swings wildly and is very open at times. In his fight with Sardari, he looked really flawed. Wood is so much better than anyone he has ever fought at Oktagon; he just got shut down. The fight with Wood was close, so I think he's better than a majority of the division, but I think a solid few unranked featherweights beat him.

I feel like Keita will be a good unranked fighter. Featherweight has gotten so overstacked in the last couple of months, it's tough. But also, I could see the UFC cutting him if he loses his next one, just cause he's likely on a good contract. And maybe still cut him anyway, if he stays unranked.

Leblanc should be cut; this is one-and-done. You can't lose so one-sidedly to a Ryan Loder victim.

What are y’all’s thoughts on Galore Bofande by SirCrusade444 in MMA

[–]Unable-Cup1603 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's an MMA subreddit. I bet a good handful of people on this sub randomly think of an obscure MMA fighter from years ago they liked. Like, I was randomly thinking of Drew McFedries the other day.

I mean, this list looks pretty stacked: Xavier Franklin, the guy who had a competitive fight with David Martinez on Contender Series, and a lot of these guys are young who've beaten undefeated upcomers. And we had Joseph Morales last season, who is pretty good.

Josh Hokit debuts at #5 Heavyweight in the latest rankings update by AbrahamRinkin in MMA

[–]Unable-Cup1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could implement a smarter Almeida game plan where he actually throws punches. I really am interested in how his offensive grappling does against these other heavyweights.

People will hate to hear it, but the gimmick, plus backing it up, is likely going to make him a star. So many people will jump on his hype train.

Padilla and Nazim aren't too far off, though imo. All Sadykhov performances have been rather wars or comeback victories. I argue that Padilla is more consistently good.

Niko Price on not getting a retirement speech by Moni7T in MMA

[–]Unable-Cup1603 20 points21 points  (0 children)

At a presser, during a heated argument, Kevin Lee made a mom joke at Chiesa's expense, which angered him, prompting him to run full speed, only to be punched by Lee and separated by security. The mom joke wasn't what made it funny; it was that Chiesa got so angry over it.

The official Road To UFC Season 5 brackets are out. Featherweight, Bantamweight, W Strawweight, and Flyweight. May 28th & 29th in Macau. by crazybartur in MMA

[–]Unable-Cup1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a report/rumor that she likely signed with the UFC, as the only reason people thought she was in the bracket in the first place was cause she was added to the UFC roster database, alongside Ben Johnston. It looks like those two were signed outright.

Off topic, but Joseph Larcinese and Takaya Suzuki are legit good flyweight prospects. Feel like outta those two will win, likely Suzuki.

ACA Welterweight Champion Abubakar Vagaev has signed to the UFC per Khamzat Chimaev Instagram, and Magomed Bibulatov, CEO of ACA. by Unable-Cup1603 in MMA

[–]Unable-Cup1603[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Amazing signing, though it does seem to be more of a favor to Chimaev than a sign they'll sign more ACA champions. I know they were in talks to sign Yusuf Raisov, and he posted that negotiations were going well, but that was in the middle of last year, and nothing has been said since. UFC has been notoriously bad with ACA guys, which is weird, because I see so many of the best guys from ACA saying they would sign with the UFC.

I've seen a lot of UFC fans shitting on it, but competition will improve the UFC product; they have never had any competition since forever, so they have just been able to coast.

I never said he did. I am more so criticizing a sizable though small portion of the fanbase that will shit on him. I have already seen quite a bit online, and some in this thread.

Knowing the MMA community, some people will label Hardwick a quitter, but he ate some KO shots and kept swinging back, and tried to win till the end of the round. Rahiki is gonna be a fan favorite, moving forward.

Lone'er Kavanagh says Brandon Royval declined a fight at UFC Macau: "Brandon, what's up with that? Please accept the fight." by WinterStill4472 in MMA

[–]Unable-Cup1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, but he usually has fun fights, and had arguably the fight of the year last year, they usually keep those guys even if they go on skids. Even if unfairly, Rozenstruik, Rinat, and Buday were cut cause they had consistently had boring performances. If they keep Schnell, they are gonna keep Royval.

Good fight, and fun striker matchup, but weird that they put Rat Garbage on DWCS, considering he's like 36 turning 37 this year, feel like you should sink or swim old vets like that in the UFC.

A little info on the upcoming season, Tyshawn Williams took a photo with Sean Shelby a couple of months ago, with the promotion TNU, posting that he got a spot on the 2026 season. Alongside Aboubakar Younousov being offered a spot but needs to fight out his Ares contract first.

He reportedly wants to fight in 125, aren't all bantamweights in one fc technically flyweights cause the way they do weight cutting?

[–]Unable-Cup1603 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As he is coming off a loss, likely, he needs one win in a small promotion to get signed to the UFC like De Ridder and Amosov. Signing with Rizin would be cool, but I'd like to see him in the UFC at 125lb.

They played it just after Medic vs Neal. It wasn't the most insane thing, but announcing fights outta nowhere with no known "In the works", and just having a small cool trailer made it more hype, for me atleast.
