The former UFC heavyweight champion has signed with Triller and is expected to fight Kubrat Pulev in Triad Combat in early 2022, with late February targeted. A Triller official confirmed the news to MMA Junkie following an initial report from TMZ on Tuesday morning.

Pulev beats him like he did Mir. He can KO Ngannou too within two rounds.

Lol

Lol

I know they have different rules and OK if JDS wants a check, but Pulev is still so close to prime and there are levels to this shit.
I mean, he could have went for a fatality with Mir if he wanted.
I don't know. Seems like another plane crash into a train wreck matchup. Pulev is the last one I'd want to get in with for one of these things, currently. Too closely removed as a top HW boxing contender.

I agree!!

Mir should be thankful that Pulev pulled back from not sending him to the intense care …

TMZ reports that former light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson, 39-years-old, will collide with 44-year-old former UFC champion Vitor Belfort, who earlier this year blew away Evander Holyfield in a single round.

Dawson (36-5, 19 KOs), inactive for the last two years, is a lot younger than the 59-year-old Holyfield, who entered the ring after 10 years of inactivity.

JDS should keep going with AEW. Instead he chooses annihilation

Lol! True

JDS will get hurt, this is basically boxing.

I spose you could argue JDS doesn't have the chin anymore to take very significant punishment, most likely he'll be KOed but hopefully not a Cain style beatdown.

He's just a fantastic human being.
Did the same when Wladimir Klitschko & Anthony Joshua finally had the balls to get in the ring with him.

Unless your a female reporter he ain't pulling back at all!

 

[Hitdepruns]

This will be embarrassing. Im not watching.

JDS is going to get hurt badly here. That dude needs to stop fighting before hes a vegetable.

 

[Jonny Ninja]

Slightly less of a mismatch than Mir but still unlikely to get out of the first round. I’ll watch
