Several of the fighters Nurmagomedov is effective with are from his house nation of Dagestan, which generates an absurd range of elite MMA fighters specified its compact population.

He very last competed in November 2019, using residence a major occasion victory reverse Calvin Kattar. Given that then, Magomedsharipov has been gunning for a match up with Yair Rodriguez, but recurring cancellations and pullouts have “Zabeast” on the lookout for a new huckleberry.

Possibly Max Holloway is readily available?

Amanda Ribas vs. Angela Hill is a pretty solid women’s Strawweight match up. I like Ribas to combine it up and score ample takedowns to sway the judges, but it need to be aggressive!

Additional importantly, Hill’s Easter eggs were Hearth all over again!

This photograph is great, and if I don’t forget the right way, Kevin Lee has accomplished ballet to assist enhance his footwork/timing/rhythm as properly.

This reminds me of Rashad Evans vs. Lil Nog.

Can Kevin Holland can make this a rangy kickboxing fight or will Marvin Vettori uncover his way inside?
