Rumored Chimaev vs Imavov is now being planned for a title fight, early stages

That s a lot of religious intolerance for a full-time social justice warrior like yourself

Cry more little Russian propaganda bot.

Our homosexual activist is traumatised by Khamzat just because he is friends with the GOAT dictator. You are so full of oestrogen do you get pregnant just shaking a man‘s hand?

Kadyrov's slowly and painfully dying, by the way. It seems Allah does exist, after all.

Anyone remembers Khamzat's predecessor, Abdulkerim Edilov? He fought Prochazka and a bunch of other fighters. He was deputy prime minister of Chechnya and at some point tasked with training Kadyrov's son, Adam. Was getting Porsche cars for his service. Edilov mysteriously disappeared 3 years ago and was subsequently confirmed dead. In Chechnya it's heavily rumored that it was due to either him banging Adam or overlooking his drug use. Adam's bodyguard disappeared as well. So good luck to Khamzat.

You can just feel the tension here.

The grappling advance Chimaev can't deny.

What makes you think it's collapsing, comrade? I'm inside and can't tell.

Who says it is the UFC, and not Khamzat himself?

Because Khamzat always asks for fights and UFC takes forever getting him one.

Khamzat talks and tweets more than anyone except Costa. He always claimed he wanted fights and what not, and lied about being allowed to fight in the US.

So he is about as trustworthy as Dana.

Russia's liquid assets are below $50B, Ukraine has elimnated 20-40% of Russia's refining capacity (many estimates closer to 40%), forcing Russia to halt fuel exports and actually import fuel to stave off a fuel shortage. Russia is running a $100B deficit with a massively overheated war economy -- once those $50B in liquid reserves are gone, hyperinflation will begin. Despite massive government spending, Russia has low unemployment with not enough people to fill the jobs demanded by the economy, leading to zero growth (stagnation). Inflation is estimated to be 18-20%; too high for the 16.5% interest rate to handle. This stagflation is going to wreak havoc.

The war is also going badly with over a million casualties. Russia is cooked, and things only get worse once you are forced to end the war.

The longer this is going to go on, the more Khamzat is going to suffer, with his association to war criminals inside Russia.

I am in the beginning stages of worrying that we are in for a HUGE lull in action between now and the White House card

HW and LHW are both looking at potential inactive periods

MW may = 7-8 months away

WW mega fight coming up, that's awesome.

LW = nothing booked and seems Paddy may be getting a shot without a top 5 win. Meh.

FW - anything ?

BW and Fly coming up- ok. Not super intriguing matchups but at least the divisions are moving. I guess I need to try to convince myself to consider Joshua Van a threat.... is he? Pantoja has looked pretty solid.

BWB- probably gonna be a year or more between fights


.....

I have a Sneaking suspicion that we have some UFC shenanigans and interim belts in the future.

Imavov vs Khamzat will happen after Ramadan or much earlier than ppl are being lead to believe.

As far as LW, Gaethje will be next up for Ilia with Arman lined up afterwards if successful vs Hooker. Where it gets interesting is Paddy vs Holloway maybe happening. Arman could get skipped over again.

FW has loads of contenders but things need to be sorted it out but we are bound to see things heat up with Evolev, Lerone, Diego, Yair, Zalal, & Aljo.

BW is nothing but rematches & possibly Yadong thrown in the mix soon.

WW gonna be fun no matter the outcome of JDM/Islam & is a stacked division with tons of matchups that could be mixed & matched. Plus Shavkat will be coming back soon.

FLW is Pantoja's world & everyone else is just living in it.

Val & Weili happening & with Dern crowned the new champ that opens up a good amount of opportunities for contenders in that division.

Tom, Gane, Pereira moving up, & Jon possibly coming back is gonna be the talk of the town for a good while.

Also things get interesting at LHW with Poatan leaving. The division isn't stalled if Pereira isn't holding gold at 205.

My point being is that there will be some interesting & exciting things happening leading up to the white house card.

Dark horse for the white house card is Pantoja vs Merab btw.

So he is about as trustworthy as Dana.

He asked for fights and UFC made excuses. They could have put him on any of the cards outside the US if his visa was a problem but chose to wait for the muslim card (this was after his year long layoff after beating Holland). But since his last fight was in the US, now they want to wait until at least May to let him fight again? Even after he asked to fight in October and November, etc? Shameful.

UFC could book him with quick turn arounds if they wanted to but choose to let him fight about once a year. At this rate he'll be out of his prime within two fights. It's horrendous.

Yeah, I saw the data, the only thing I doubt is over a million casualties. We have about 140,000 confirmed and verified casualties meaning the actual number may very well be closer to 300,000. But a million seems too high to me.

The worst thing that can happen to my country is another 25 years of Putin.

That said, I doubt Khamzat will suffer much, he's a UAE citizen and will simply stay away if things get hairy in Russia. No one will ever extradite him and being a murderous dictator's poster boy is much less of an offense than actually kidnapping, killing and torturing people. He's in much more serious danger if he somehow crosses Kadyrov while the latter is still alive.

Why would the UFC want one of their more marketable fighters and now champions to fight less?

As long as he doesn't fight, he doesn't lose and remains the champ. Once he loses, his marketability would fall sharply.

Khadyrov s sick?

Khadyrov s sick?

Yep. Allegedly it's pancreatic necrosis. Has trouble walking and talking.

Once Russia’s Most Volatile Region, Chechnya Is Bracing for Succession

Amid rampant speculation about his health, Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-allied strongman who rules the region, has been noticeably absent from view, while grooming his teenage son for the future.

Yet Kadyrov manages to look significantly worse than Putin, who is 25 years his elder.



With Putin it may be mostly wishful thinking on our part but with Kadyrov even the Western media took notice.

The casualties are 100% real. If you're Russian not inside Russia, then you won't see it yourself. Nor will you see it if you live in Moscow and St. Petersberg, because Putin is trying to shield recruitment from the "core territories" to protect his "good ethnic Russians" from the war.

But go to smaller towns and look at their war memorials, which aren't even complete, and compare it to the Soviet war in Afghanistan:


If you venture outside of the core Russian territories and actually go to some of the regions where Putin is heavily recruiting meat for the meatwaves from, you will see it. And tons of troops are listed as "missing" when in reality they are dead. Also there are dozens of videos showing essentially Gulags holding injured/maimed Russian casualties to prevent them from going back to society, to avoid having the realities of the war be made obvious to Russian society.

And Khamzat can flee to whatever country he wants (in this case UAE). As long as he continues being photographed with Kadyrov, he will be hit with essentially secondary sanctions. He can't fight at UFC 325 in Sydney because of this. The only reason he's allowed to fight in the US is because Trump is friends with Dana White & Putin. And that could easily change in the near future.

Well, we lost about 13,000 in Afghanistan so it's clear that the current toll would be dozens times higher. The number I was talking about, 140,000, was verified using obituaries and memorials. Many are still missing, yes. The recruitment is not forcible right now, people are incentivized to join meatwaves by huge payouts. In Moscow they are the highest. That's why the society at large remains mostly indifferent towards casualties.

As much as I like the idea of secondary sanctions for Chimaev, they couldn't even sanction Emelianenko who openly endorsed war and that didn't prevent him from fighting in the US even before Trump's return.
