ARES on Saturday
WW - Lazy Goat Abdoul Adbouraguimov (26/France/14-1) will surely be UFC bound if he defends his title against Karl Amoussou (27-9)
MW - Akhmed Salamov (28/France/4-1-1) fights Jose Galindo (?/Peru/5-0)
FW - #25 William Gomis (25/France/9-2) fights former UFC champ Renan Barao (34-9)

SW - #10 Ewelina Wozniak (29/Poland/6-1) fights #23 Anastasia Feofanova (32/Russia/8-1)
I'm stock for this event, had I not been so broke this month I would have driven to Paris to watch it live...
Sadly, some of my most anticipated fights have been removed
I'm pumped for the "Lazy GOAT" (I had to check to make sure you were being cheeky with that nickname
okok, he's apparently still
the Lazy King...) vs ol'
Karl Amoussou,
(that I always used to confuse with Bertrand Amoussou, that we didn't like in my group of friends/family since his French PRIDE commentary was pretty shitty, and for other reasons... that in retrospect weren't very fair)
But I really wanted to watch
Yassine Boughanem take on Fabio Kwasi (it would have been Kwasi's first MMA bout, so it would have probably been a fun stand-up battle)
I was also anticipating
Dawid "Roman" Romanski, from Poland, (a guy with solid boxing/kickboxing skills, and who had the good idea of getting his inevitable submission- losses-from-early-bouts out of his system as an amateur, so his pro record looks pretty clean) vs
MMA Factory's
Temerlan Azizov
But sadly this bout was also scrapped
Anyway, to speak about fights that are actually happening, I'm really glad they managed to find a fight for
MMA Factory's
Damien "The Walking Dead" Lapilus, after both of his original match-ups got scrapped...
Damien might be the less talented of the Lapilus bros, with his younger brother Taylor being the badass elite that I hope will be signed by the UFC for the next UFC in France...
But he's still very entertaining to watch, and you know what, fuck it, if at the next UFC they get
Taylor "Double Impact" Lapilus to fight on the main card (I've read that it was a possibility, but since Dana and Fernand Lopez aren't in good term I hope it doesn't mess with the fights, like it did when Dana had a beef with Vadim),
I really really hope they also get older brother Damien to put on an exciting scrap on the undercard, so they spectators are encouraged to enter the building and find their seats ASAP instead of chain-smoking outside and taking one last shit and a few last shots.
So yeah, Damien better win this one, but it's gonna be tough, his opponent
Amin Ayoun is also a veteran, and if he lost his last fight against the talented
Ahmed "The Butcher" Amir for the BRAVE CF lightweight title,in a 5 rounds battle, before that Amin was on a 8 fights winning streak...
It ain't gonna be easy for the older Lapilus, but if he wins I hope it means he gets a slot on the preliminary card of the next UFC Paris
I guess his opponent kinda overlooks him though, since he's signed to fight at BRAVE CF just a month after fighting Lapilus...
there, he will face someone I had meant to talk about in this very thread, the UFC veteran ,Brazilan
Lucas "Mineiro" Martins
(20-6 in general, 4-3 in the UFC)
"Mineiro" might seem washed up, since he lost his last 3 fights, but they were all against good competition... he lost via knee injury during a takedown in a BRACE FC title fight against "The Pride of Palestine" Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady
"Mineiro" then lost to Bubba Jenkins, another solid veteran.
And all the guys Martins won against after being released from the UFC, they weren't cans, he beat a lot of good fighters with good records!
So yeah, keep an eye on this guy, I'm not proud of it but after he left the UFC I kinda lost track of him, and only a couple years back did I realize that he kept fighting at the highest possible level he could from his POV.
It's a shame he only fought once at Jungle Fight, right before getting signed by the UFC... that's likely the fight that got him noticed, so...
Okay, enough talk about unrelated BS, let's focus on Ares FC 7
