Blood Diamond's Kickboxing Record

You guys remember Stephen Thompson claiming and the UFC hyping him as a "56-0" Kickboxer? Meanwhile most of those fights weren't professional, some probably karate tournaments, recordings and actual record of most of them didn't exist....oh and some of the ones that did exist were in like highschool gyms. Joe Rogan said he was the best pure striker in MMA ever, Firas Zahabi called him the "Michael Jordan of striking ". What a fugatz kickboxing record.

I really cannot find much about Blood Diamond's kickboxing record pre-UFC. In an espn interview, he claims to have forgotten the exact # of fights he has had in china and NZ. He reportedly has over 100 fights and only 1 loss.
I think he is on some frank dux kumite 1,000 and 0 shit. He has 1 recorded loss to Sharaputdin Magomedov <FookIsThatGuy>
in china and another losses on video to victor mechkov and carlos hicks from the king in the ring. Obviously most fighters cannot be undefeated forever, but this kickboxing acumen seems fluffed up.

Shara Bullet is a fucking beast and potentially a future contender.
 
He won the king in the ring tournament here in New Zealand. Other winners have been Izzy, Carlos Ulberg and Dan Hooker from that team. I feel like Blood Diamond has benn rushed into it a bit but the real next prospect to look out for out of CKB is Navajo Sterling, he'll be fighting at LHW I'd say but could probably make middleweight, he's bigger than Izzy but a little bit smaller than Ulberg.

Yikes. This is completely wrong lol.

It's a generalization, but pretty accurate.
MMA is pretty multifaceted and we just had a major injury in two headliners in a row, with Anthony Smith also going out via injury though he wasn't a favourite and was a massive under dog.
There is no sure thing in MMA.

It really isn't accurate at all, mate, as when it comes to gambling, there's plenty of ways up the mountain.

95% of my income comes from gambling on MMA and while betting on big dogs works if you know what you're doing, I've had way more success doing the absolute opposite. Some of the best gamblers I know don't just chase big dogs and make plenty of cash.

To take two of your three example fights posted above, I had Yair/Rod ITD in a multi, and I had Aspinall/Blaydes ITD in another. Both weren't anywhere near big odds and both came in. Regardless of the way those fights played out, both still looked like they would have hit even without the injuries to me.

Little legs that pay nothing work well, if you know what you're doing, and a lot of people make bank off that, as I have in the past. WMMA fights are the easiest as they have low finish rates and fighters are more one-dimensional, so its easier to get a read. WMMA just to reach the 2nd round pays fuck all, but I've made a silly amount of cash from nothing with those.

You know that not many can do that though. Most of us run the odds of upsets and multis for a bit of fun with 5-10 dollar bets.
To win on what you are talking about I need some big cash to drop.

Huge diff between Navajo being matched with a dangerous grappler in his debut vs lets say an "average" striker. Theres a lot of politics at play, match making is fn annoying because of this from what I have heard.
 
All I know is he looks very raw and amateurish in MMA, he has been given his UFC run way too soon, he needs much more fights and experience in MMA.

In fairness to Blood Diamond one of his kickboxing losses is too one of the top MW MMA prospects in the world.

So, you raise my awareness of a great undefeated dagestani prospect, so I google and find out he just got arrested for almost killing a guy that was making out in public...
I apologize beforehand, but fuck you...

When I was more serious, I was doing 3k per multi. One of those a card would win me close to 4k profit.

I bet with smaller stakes now and do around $300 per multi as of recently, and I'll do as many as 3-4 a card.

Honestly, there's people on some facebook groups that have fuck all clue what they're doing and they do multis like this and do well.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but multis on low paying legs have always worked well for me, whereas I've learned how to do singles and bet 15k worth of those card after card and not done anywhere near as well.

Again not many have that much disposable income floating around that they can lose. We both know that.

Yeh, fair enough, but you can get up to those sorts of amounts pretty quickly with the right approach. I started with $250 and was doing 3k mults within 2 months.

Dude's a clown who attacks civilians because he's too strung out about kissing in public.

From what I understand Shara was being respectful, albeit not minding his own business, but he was actually the one who was initially physically attacked and defended himself.

The incident was without question a product of Shara not minding his own business and acting as the moral police, which he had no right to do, but the man who he approached about the public display of affection did physically attack him first and he responded in kind.

Now, he definitely should have left the premises after defending himself instead of waiting to fight the guy outside and everyone can agree that was an egregious error in judgement, but that was due to ego more-so than being a violent individual.

He is definitely the greatest MMA striking prospect we have ever seen come out of Dagestan.

I don't think he almost "killed the guy" but he definitely made an egregious error in judgement, one that he will surely learn from as he becomes a more well known public figure.

Needless to say, the guy is trash.

I can't see many normal, good, morally upstanding citizens getting into that situation, let alone stamping on a dude's head, let alone when they're a world class fighter.

Fuck him.

Hopefully he'll be banned from ever travelling to the US.
