Unfortunately I won't be able to watch all of this since I'm going out with friends tonight. Friends fucking suck man. Let that be a lesson, never get friends outside the Worldwide Forum.

0-0 Amirkhan Isagadzhiev just headkick TKO'd 25-12 Bellator vet DJ Linderman.

Crazy prospect.

It says on Tapology he's 2-0 with one of the fights in EFN.

Odd. I distinctly remember Frank and the other guy talking about how this was the guys pro-debuee. Maybe Tapology has listed his amature bouts as professional ones?

 

[europe1]

Floor seems slippery

 

[Koniradi98]

From where does ACB have the money for all this?
Offering free streams in the internet, half empty arenas and what I see they don't seem to have big/many sponsors. But they are still organizing many events (read once that only the UFC has more events) with huge fight cards and also some big names on it and Frank Mir commentating it.

Are they financed by some kind of chechen warlord ?

But I have to admit they have set up a good product.

Yeah, that's probably the case.

That's Akhmat

I don't remember the details. But Luke Barnett talked about how they're funded by some father-son team of bilionares. So yeah, money seems like a non-issue for them.

If money is no issue and they can keep putting out great cards then I guess they're hoping they'll take off eventually. It's just a matter of time.

30-27 Tural

Spirited performance from Nakajima though.

30-27 Tural

Spirited performance from Nakajima though.

Definitely agree. Nakajima was never out of the fight, but Tural clearly won imo. I love how Tural didn't even react to that spinning back to the head in the last 10 seconds.

Well it landed at the end of Nakajima spin and his standing leg wasn't excactly stable so it probably wouldn't hurt much either way

I wasn't expecting too much from it, but I feel like he didn't even blink when it landed, there was that much emotion on his face.

 

[europe1]

Impressive from Ruslan, stopping the prospect. I want a replay of that gnarly slam though!

No shame for Valeriy for losing against a guy with almost 30 fights on his record either. Hopefully he'll be one to keep an eye on in the future.

Yeah there are some odd match-making on this card with very green prospects facing decorated veterans. The Linderman, Ruslan, and now Dukvaha fights for example.

 

[europe1]

Man this is just weird. Dukvaha just going both hands on Lopes squeezing hand when ever he applies pressure.

I guess they must have some sort of sink or swim mentality. Russians have records like that a lot. e.g. if you look at Khabib's record when he was like 15-0 he was fighting guys with losing records or making their pro debuts.

0-0 Amirkhan Isagadzhiev just headkick TKO'd 25-12 Bellator vet DJ Linderman.

Crazy prospect.

I'm pumped to see how he does in the future, I already feel like he'll be up there with guys like Pavlovich and Minakov if they give him the right fights to develop.
