but when Khabib was grilling his ass he ain't have shyt to say

Artem like Cheddar Bob from 8 mile at this point

Straight liability as a homey

FW has always been one of Bellator's strongest divisions

Bellator officially announces 16-man featherweight grand prix, launching in October

Ya this should be good. Bellator was on fire in 2017 but they've fallen off a bit. I watched every event in 17 but 18 was weak. I hope they can turn it around again.

Ain't no way that bareknuckle shyt paying enough for this type of punishment and damage. From the clips i've seen on twitter r and Artem were trading CTE cocktails.

That has to be PR. No way they can legally withhold his purse.

This bare knuckle sh1t does not appeal to me at all

Yea same here, too barbaric and looks like some back alley shyt. I could see if dudes were fighting tactical to preserve their hands but they're just throwing haymakers.

Leave MMA to get half your teeth and brain cells knocked off your head brehs
Leave MMA, where you could get a multiple fight deal, for a 2 fights before retirement bareknuckle "organization" that gives out bonuses for additional CTE traded during fights

Lose and end up looking like leatherface instead of tapping to chokes with no damage

shyt makes no sense brehs it's not worth proving you're a warrior if thats your plan

Bare knuckle fights with human weapons aren't going to appeal to fight purist, boxing or MMA. Both fandoms abhor slugfest and care more about fighter safety. than anything these days.

This doesn't describe the average "just bleed" MMA fan at all, I've been seeing a whole lot of praise from MMA meatheads on social media for that bareknuckle card.

I'm quite familiar with EPO from my days investigating professional cycling teams," UFC vice president of athlete health and performance Jeff Novitzky told ESPN. "It's a very effective substance. It's not a substance you find in contaminated supplements; it's injectable only. You have to know what you're doing when it enters your system.

"On a scale of seriousness in anti-doping, it's up near the top."
