PBP ONE 166: De Ridder vs. Malykhin 2, Fri. 3/1, 7:30 AM ET/ 4:30 AM PT PBP Discussion Thread

Agree. Sorry your guy lost. Honestly feel it makes the sting less painful when Maly celebrates him like he did.

That’s true. I always like when fighters stay respectful in victory and defeat

 

[NoSmilez]

I think sub 6ft guys could still do well at HW if they're an elite wrestler type.

Not to crap on Anatoly. He refused a test for steroid testing. That is why his career in wrestling never took off when they banned him for a few years. I don't think he is really a HW if he is tested.

Alain van de Merckt (7-0) LFL-Middleweight from Belgium standing in the back.
Keep an eye on him, I think he’ll be on DWCS this year.
This is him:

Alain is a BJJ-wizard like Reinier, but he did this in his last fight 2 weeks ago, right in front of my eyes

 

[Paynebringer]

Well, Late...

 

[PurpleStorm]

Thanks for the banter everyone. Have a great weekend. See you around the boards.

 

[helax]

lol I was thinking he should fight Francis or Nemkov. I'm good either way.

Malykhin and Nemkov are super close friends so that fight will never happen

I did not know that! I'd love to see footage of them training together. I'ma hit up youtube and see if that exists

EDIT: it does not

Malykhin posted a bunch of stories on his insta with their sparring, not sure if he has anything left on his profile or just some pics

Malykhin might be the happiest dude on the planet. Just infectiously jovial. Would hate to drink with him because 100% he'd be pressuring you to take shots all night, and you'd be slightly worried he'd kill you if you said no to him.

his nickname "sladkiy" in russian means "sweet". so you are right there.

Maaan. I had no idea this event was happenin this morning. Woulda loved to hang out with ya'll here in the PBP. Sounded like it was a fun time. I ended up catchin a couple of the fights on the replay though. Looked like RDR wanted a way out so chose to not get up on purpose and Bhullar getting DQ'ed was absolutely hilarious.

 

[don't ask]

That knee didn't look like much in the fight because of how smoothly he went to guard, but, in retrospect, yeah, he was out on his feet. The fact that he went right to guard is a real testament to his training.

Fedor Team actually brought Malykhin into train with Fedor for the first Bader fight.

ONE need bigger belts. Can hardly even tell what that thing is

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Unfortunate end for Brooks -- that didn't look like an intentional spike to me.
