[10mm]

First round ko by Fig?

 

[Ares Black]

Totally miscalled that fight...

Pretty much everyone did I think

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Me right now

 

[Carsormyr]

FIGGY SMAAAAAALS

 

[Jose Beehive]

He needed more of this

 

[Kalmah]

Hong Kong, you bigot

Where is Hong Kong located?

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

I must be blind because I don't see either of the supposed low blows against Palatnikov. Anyone else?

Corse knee hit him in the stomach but his chin went in his nutsack

 

[Garmil]

Cosce is a bigger Artem Lobov

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Isn't Androl one o' them PEDs? Asking for a friend.

 

[TGArthur]

Me right now

I'm eating my edibles. Will be joining soon!

 

[10mm]

I thought Maia was really short, but she is the same height as Val. Or at least looked it at the stare down.

 

[PlayTheGame]

What's his story? Is he a Hong Kong citizen?

Yeah, Russian father, British (?) mom, born and raised in HK.

 

[wwkirk]

I was wondering the same thing. Probably some kind of English background since HK used to be Brittish...

Here's the story.

While he does hold American citizenship, the 31-year-old is a true born-and-bred Hong Kong fighter. His formative years in the country may have been instrumental in shaping Palatnikov into the fighter he is now.

“I was born and raised in Hong Kong,” said Palatnikov. “My father was a former world champion high diver. He traveled around the world performing. I guess we’re both performers in our own right. He’s a tough guy. He put me in martial arts at a young age because I was just full energy and a bit of a brat.

[RicardinhoPT]

His name is Sasha Palatnikov....

Yeah that would imply he had some kind of Russian/East European background. But I don't know, Bisping is also Brittish but his roots and name are Polish. Names don't always say the full story.

I'm kind of still curious though

 

[BEATDOWNS]

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Putting German MMA on the map. Sounds like a job for an American.

 

[Iron Nick]

On the Contender Series he was already talking about going down. After a loss like that I think it's a no-brainer.

Absolutely agree. If you're such a "bodybuilder" you should either have KO power or be good enough to submit people fast, because your cardio probably won't last long.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Alright who is going to post their Tapology Palatnikov KO prediction?

 

[Yashabo]

Where is Hong Kong located?

I'll have you know that English is an official language in Hong Kong, buddeh

BRO HOLY SHIT TWO CONTENDER SERIES ALUMS?
How is this even possible?
Dana White's contender series producing two guys for the undercard? Wow What a genius this Dana White guy is to get all his fighters into the UFC like this.
INCREDIBLE.
Man is an absolute genius. I'm predicting a draw because I don't think it's possible Dana White could offer a contract to just ANYONE.
When was the last time TWO GUYS from THE CONTENDER SERIES, both made it to the UFC? WOW
