Hi guys,

I don"t know if it"s important but UFC Zagreb was rather mediocre. Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou are average at their maximum while the main event wasn"t special at all though props to dos Santos and his career. The rest didn"t count too much.

Look, in kickboxing there are many promotions now but none with really pumping money like the old K-1. Glory, Superkombat, all are dealing with financial problems. New K-1 is nothing better in terms of value. There are some money in China in Kunlun but they need experience for better organization.

But kickboxing with investments would have a lot more potential than MMA. Though there aren"t American fighters almost at all.

At least Chris Weidman, Luke Rockhold or Jon Jones are good, because the UFC is far from the past. They tricked the people with personages like Anderson Silva, Ronda Rousey (at least she"s very good compared with the Spider - he"s a spider but not really such a legend because Weidman or Rockhold would take his scalp) and so on like they are invincible.

I better watch ice hockey.

If they want me to watch, they should better bring Badr Hari and Daniel Ghita in UFC. To see how overrated are the UFC heavyweights these days
 
No pillow gloves in MMA. Yes I'm sure a lot of kickboxers could do ok given time to train but this is MMA. The best kickboxer in the world would get smashed by HWs with any short of grappling skills
 
fuck off then

also...

Badr Hari tried mma and this was probably enough for him to never try it again:

 
Kickboxing is dead, so accept it. I loved k1, its showtime and glory but ppl obviously dont like it as much as mma. So gtf over it
 
Bob Sapp and Hong Man Choi are former K-1 champions. Sapp beat arguably the greatest kick boxer ever by knockout....twice. Schilt an mma washout dominated kickboxing. Kickboxing is a joke and any remotely athletic person could succeed in it because the talent pool is so tiny and filled with unathletic persons practicing niche sport.
 
"They tricked people with personages like Anderson Silva"

16 - 0 in the UFC before a loss
10 (really 11) title defences

yeah ok m8........
great post
 
Brownbelt trolling... Don't see that every day.
 
Yanks might be fooled, but you can't con Europeans into thinking grappling is actually fighting.

Nobody every won a fight by sticking their thumb up another guy's ass.

I think Europeans don't train grappling just to make it easier for them to get taken down and get a thumb up their butts.
