Wow, this weekend has literally nothing apart from UFC

Any info on how to see the Sylvia fight? I have a mild interest in that.

Everyone is still hung over.

Same, I still have hope that Timmy will get back in shape and get a good win streak going. Never heard of the guy he is fighting but he has a decent record, would be a nice win for Timmy.

Jianping Yang..isn't he a UFC fighter?

 

[Asurah]

A lot of kickboxing on the Kunlun Fight event as well with guys like Souwer, Sittichai, Verhoven and Groenhart

Wow, this weekend has literally nothing apart from UFC

the next WE will be worse too

at least there's a nice UFC PPV and a good KB event, but sure the first weeks of the year are generally poor

Jianping Yang..isn't he a UFC fighter?

He got released after he lost the TUF China Finale (which was a bit suprising to me tbh). He's already won a fight since being released an this would be his 2nd, so could possibly get a recall for the next china card.

Wasn't aware Sylvia and Colossa were fighting this weekend. Thanks for the info.

Likewise. I know he's not a world beater anymore, but he gets way too much hate considering what he's accomplished.

Jianping was fighting at Kunlun Fight 5 in June, then at TUF China Finale in August and at Kunlun Fight 11 in October. I think he is still with UFC but his contract just non-exclusive.

thanks as always, even if it is a light week.

Much appreciated.

Any competition starring Yang Jian Ping is exciting to watch!
