Pudz should be an easy fight for Mir but get out with Fedor. I get it after all the shittalk itit w an embarrassing loss but no reason at all for a rematch.

agree with that. even if Fedor somehow wins a tournament, i can't see any reason for him to take this fight. at that point it should be retiring or Cro Cop and then retiring.
but Mir vs Kharitonov why not. could be little sad, but still fun.

Now Mir-Pudz is an exciting fight even it was surreal 4-5 years before.

I find it interesting that all these fighters are now so keen to go fight in Russia.
Obviously they're paying very well.
So what's happening in Russia to generate this? Must be big TV deals and high attendance. Any Russians wanna check in and say what's up?

I do like a good freakshow so am always down for a Pudz fight. Mir should win but he looked so slow and weak in the last fight that you never know. The guy is aging really badly in fight years.

A bit delusional if real.
Doesn't he know or does he just don't give a fuck that Pudzian has a contract with KSW ?
KSW would never let Pudzian fight for ACB, especially not in Poland .
And why should Pudzian want to fight for ACB, anyway?
Btw. I read somewhere that Khalidov wasn't profitable for them (*cough cough*), Pudzian won't be cheaper.
And I thought that Kharatinov is now only fighting in Russia.

It's mainly the owners of companies investing a lot of money because they love the sport. The TV deals aren't anything special I think. Otherwise, I actually believe that a lot of those companies are losing money.

Russia always had the potential. Now you have a government who takes huge value on militarisation (I dont judge) the male youth. Putin as a martial arts fan. Martial arts has resurfaced in that environment in the heart of the society and simply has the viewers and fans. Be it wrestling, Sambo or mma.
Other reason is the high level technical skills in caucasus region with all the religious fanatics. Their only way of success is by martial art as education is next to nonexistent. They are tough, skilled and hungry. Combine that with an Oligarch from that region who massively pushed his fight team financially.
Imo mma is there to stay in Russia and has a solid base regarding talentpool and viewership interest.

I'd be all for those matches, except with Fedor. If Fedor wins the tournament, why would Mir get a title shot? He needs to get some wins in Bellator, lots of guys deserve a shot over him. He is close to last in line at this point.

Kharitonov would end Mir's career.
I think on Russian non-cabel/satellite channels you can find live broadcasts of only Fight Nights and sometime M-1 (both main cards only, I think) (not sure about ACB but I think this year or in 2017 at least one of their events was broadcasted). M-1 now has their own TV channel as well as ACB. But I think Vadim said that M-1 have TV contracts with Brazilian TV, Italian TV and something like their events is broadcasted in more than a 100 countries.
I think attendance is the problem. And I think, most Russian promotions are like a blackhole - wealthy guys spends their money on them without profit. I think only M-1 is able to cover their expenses or gain some profit.
I think aside from Fedor and his team almost every Bellator fighter from Russia is allowed by Bellator to fight there. Recent examples - Kharitonov, Minakov, Shlemenko.
