Believe FNG is still on Fight Pass - this happens next week
Is Marina Mokhnatkina Russia's Ronda Rousey?
Sure, invoking the name of Ronda Rousey can easily be seen as a bit of a gimmick, but with four wins in less than six minutes of total cage time, Marina Mokhnatkina may be worthy of a comparison.
Like, Rousey, Mokhnatkina established herself at the highest level of a single discipline – in her case, sambo rather than judo. At 29, Mokhnatkina is a six-time Russian champion, two-time European champion and, most importantly, a four-time world champion, which is the highest level of the sport, with sambo not recognized as an Olympic sport.
Mokhnatkina is now focused on MMA, and she turned pro in June 2016 and quickly racked up four first-round submission wins – two by armbar, one by Achilles lock and, most recently, a kneebar.
On Feb. 22, Mokhnatkina (4-0) faces Liana Jojua (5-2) at Fight Nights Global 83 in Moscow, with the promotion’s inaugural bantamweight title on the line. Can Mokhnatkina keep her impressive streak alive and become a pioneer in the women’s game in her native Russia?
Ahead of that FNG 83 clash, check out Mokhnatkina’s most recent victory, a 58-second submission win over Karine Silva, courtesy of FNG, above.

unfortunately, the wmma today blog is on sustained hiatus, leaving one less news source for our niche-within-a-niche. I'm gonna try hard to step up my game W.R.T. getting the latest news out there. Probably nothing ground breaking, but it's better than scrolling through multiple threads and sites looking for individual bits of news.

Do you know of any Chilean female fighters they might pick up for that card?Interesting if Valentina gets on this card - it is her second home.
Doesn't have to be chilean, when come to combat sports latinos will support each other, any fighter from Argentina, Peru, VZL etc will have the hometown fans rooting for themDo you know of any Chilean female fighters they might pick up for that card?
Ariane Lipski vs. Silvana Juarez at KSW 43, seems like a great fight, this KSW card is stacked

So the number 2 promotion pays a lot less than the number 1? Color me shocked.We got some interesting revelations due to the weigh in mix up in Bellator. The lead guy for the commission inadvertently revealed how much Heather Hardy was being paid by Bellator in his attempt to explain the situation. He said
"(Julaton) came in, and I explained to her that it’s your decision if you’re going to fight, but Ms. Hardy is going to get a 20 percent fine, which is $2,400. And instead of me keeping $1,000 of it, which I have the right to, I provided the $2,400 to her opponent."
So that mean Heather is being paid 12k. I am going to give Bellator the benefit of the doubt and say that she is on a show/win deal. That would make her deal 12k/12k or pretty much a minimum UFC contract. That does not seem good at all when they consider her one of the more marketable people in their promotion. I mean she gets more push than Patricio Freire and he is actually good. This makes me wonder how much Ilima and Ducote got paid for their title fight. Something tells me it was not 130k like Roxy/Nicco.
