Dagestan is a country?

 

[Negator402]

They are literally upending this bathtub into the Octagon.

And yeah..."Russians."

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

No Zabit? no care

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Dagestan is a country?

It technically is a republic of Russia. so I think it would be like having all Puerto Rican fighters and calling it an American showcase. if that makes sense?

Dagestan's wiki page is funny. Go to 'notable people" and its jsut a list of 100 fighters. literally

Puerto Rico has more autonomy.
At least on paper.

Naurdiev vs Lyman Good about to be announced.

You heard it here first.

 

[Thesnake101]

'Poor little slav guy'

 

[Evangelion]

Card is going to be fire. Put Zabit vs Yair, Islam vs Gregor and Mairbeck vs a banger on there please

 

[Grapplefest]

Khabib vs Poirier
Zabit vs Ortega
Overeem vs Abdurakhimov
Makhachev vs Gillespie
Taisumov vs Felder

Has the potential to be an amazing card.

Naurdiev is a monster. Hope he gets a top 15 opponent after that short notice performance against Prazeres who's pretty much top 15. But Chechen-Austrian guys don't have the best history of ever getting ranked opponents in the UFC.

 

[PulsingJones]

No Zabeast?

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Kavkaz bless!!!

 

[horseshoe_pass man]

Khabib will only fight if his teammates fight on the same card or before. Looks like they've come to a deal..
Anyway, there's no athletic commission in Abu Dhabi..
