Tragic event in MMA world. Uzbekistani fighter Jamshid Kenjaev was killed in a huge brawl in front of nightclub. Actually,its probably one of the worst cases of beating in front of the camera in a while. He was so badly beaten and finaly stabbed with a knife he was caring with him.

Kenjaev was freestyle wrestler and participated at Asian games 2014.

Khabib, you goddamn moron. Getting the by far biggest win of his career and one of the biggest wins for anyone in UFC ever, and then just throwing everything away because he can't keep his shit cool...and even worse, that insanely cowardly teammate of him, whoever it was (I heard some Russian name, but don't know the guy), hitting McGregor from the back. 

 

Thank you Khabib for making an awesome fight and awesome win worthless just because you lost your cool.

No excuses for Khabib's behavior, but I definitely am glad to see McGregor got beaten up.

Absolutely  

 

I had seen a sentence somewhere that led me to believe McGregor had won (which was highly annoying because I was desperately trying to avoid spoilers), my joy was big when Khabib choked him out

Thread bump!

 

This weekend it's UFC 259, an unusually stacked card.

 

• Jan Błachowicz vs. Israel Adesanya (for the light heavyweight championship).
• Amanda Nunes vs. Megan Anderson (for the featherweight championship).
• Petr Yan vs. Aljamain Sterling (for the bantamweight championship).
• Thiago Santos vs. Aleksandar Rakić (#2 vs #4 contenders in the light heavyweight division).
• Joseph Benavidez vs. Askar Askarov (#2 vs #3 contenders in the flyweight division).

Petr Yan was clearly dominating a kneeling Sterling, when his Russian corner shouted "Come one!", he replied "Knee?", he was replied "Yes!".

 

Yan disqualified, Sterling got the belt and left it on the ground, saying "I don't want to earn it like this".

 

Nunes crushed Anderson in just 2 minutes. She's that good.

 

Blachowicz got the points over Adesanya, who looked a bit undersized.

Tonight at UFC 260, Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou will fight for the heavyweight title. They had faced each other in 2018, with the Croatian-American winning the bout.

UFC 261 had three exceptional title fights.
