FNG Mineev Vs Ismailov II PBP thread

Was a great main event, thanks for posting. Looked like Ismailov might survive to possibly take it 2-1, but was just gassed dead. Mineev was lactic acided badly by the end as well.
 
If anyone interested Vagabov became an mma promotion owner (like Oleinik, Nurmagomedov and Shlemenko) earlier this year.

Some, maybe interesting stuff from pre-fight press conference and interviews -- according to brother of Ismailov scales in their hotel room, scales on first floor of hotel and official scales all were giving different results; also Mineev was 0,5 kgs heavier than Ismailov (or weight limit?) and Gadzhiev said that's ok, we are allowing fighters to be 0,5 kilos heavier in title fights; another stuff from weigh-in -- Ismailov as a Muslim did not want photos and videos of his body above the knee and below the navel to be published, so he wrote/called journalist after weigh-in to remove such photos/videos of him (and seems like he wasn't very polite while asking but he later said sorry); Mineev was naked at weigh-in, seems like he thought that word "снимай" (means both remove and shoot/record in Russian) was told to him while it was told to photo/camera people and he removed his pants and from what I understand there is photos/videos with him naked, Gadzhiev from Fight Nights accused journalists of posting such photos/videos and mentioned that earlier this year Brazil guy (forgot his name, the one that trains in Dagestan and fought Shlemenko) marched through the room during weigh-in completely naked and no one posted any photos or videos of him, also said that now no recording is allowed at early weigh-ins (or maybe journalists too) -- yesterday Khabib's EFC already didn't allowed Shlemenko's guys to record anything at weigh-in.

Also there were question about banned susbtances in a blood of Mineev and Ismailov -- Gadzhiev said that he thinks they are clean while Ismailov joked that both probably would have tested positive for a bouquet of banned stuff. Mineev I think said nothing.
