few more days

May 20, 2024

Lucia was sitting at a table facing the water, she was having lunch alone in Prague. The team had an off day and truthfully she just wanted alone time and to explore on her own.

Lucia was scrolling on her phone as she waited for her food to come out when John facetimed her.

“Hi.” Lucia smiled at the screen, she could tell John just woke up and wished she was laying in bed with him.

“Hi Luce.” John smiled admiring her on his phone, he couldn’t wait till he saw her in a few days.

John listened to Lucia talk about her day as she propped her phone up on the table as she was given her food.

“What are you doing after you come to Jersey?” John asked her once she finished talking, He was going to see her soon when they meet up in Jersey for the UFC Fight but he had a plan for after.

“Absolutely nothing until the twenty first.” Lucia responded as she took a bite of her bread, “Why?”

“Would you like to go on a trip with me? We would leave the day after the fight and could come back just before the twenty first.” John asked her slighty nervous but he had been planning this for a while being hopefully that she would say yes.

“Just us?” Lucia asked hopefully and John nodded with a smile, “Where are we going?” Lucia curiosity questioned she leaned closer to her phone looking eager and excited.

John smiled even wider realizing that was her saying yes to going.

“I’ll tell you one location we are going to go.” John shook his head fondly seeing her pout slighty realizing he was going to keep it a secret.

“Paris.” John nonchalantly told her watching her freeze in shock and then look at him incredulously.

“You’re kidding!” Lucia whispered shouted, she has dreamed of going to Paris since she was very little.

“Nope that’s our first stop.” John beamed at her, he’s had the idea of taking her on a trip to Paris since she mentioned she has always wanted to go.

“John Marino you are the best person ever.” Lucia was beaming so much as she said her words blowing him multiple kisses, she couldn’t believe she was going to go to Paris and all because of John.

John blushed at all the affection she was showing but was very pleased she is already this happy and they haven’t been gotten to Paris yet, “Anything for you my beautiful girl.”

Lucia’s face softened, every day she is reminded how lucky she is to hear loved by John, something she will never take for granted, “I wish i could kiss you right now.” Lucia grumbled slighty wishing she could be with John and thank him in person.

“Only a few more days.” John reassured her but he also wanted nothing more to hold her again and kiss her again.

“A few more days.” Lucia repeated, she has had fun playing in Worlds but she could not wait to finish the last two games and be able to see John in a few days.

Chris Fishgold set for battle with Daniel Teymur at UFC Prague

Chris Fishgold set for battle with Daniel Teymur at UFC Prague

Former Cage Warriors Champion Chris Fishgold comes face to face with Swedish striker Daniel Teymur this weekend at UFC Prague, in a match up that is sure to excite fans across the UK.

Despite coming off a first round TKO loss to Calvin Kattar in his UFC debut in Moncton, Canada last year- the Liverpudlian lightweight will head in to the bout with his confidence as high as ever.

“I think I have the advantage against Teymur, he is very one dimensional and I’m a mixed martial artist; I can fight anywhere,” said Fishgold. “I know he’s coming off two losses and if he’s learnt from them he could come out very composed. I need to play it as it comes. It’s going to be a good fight.”

The 26 year old, fighting out of Next Generation gym in Liverpool has also shown faith in the preparation he’s done in the build up to his second UFC appearance. “It’s been amazing, I’ve done everything right in my eyes and it’ll show this weekend. I can’t wait to get in the Octagon and show off my hard work.”

“I’m back to the same old Fishgold, the fans are in for a treat. It’s going to be an exciting match-up.”

UFC Prague takes place at the 02 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.

“Let’s Have Some Fun In The Mornings” UFC in Prague Preview

Joey

February 18th, 2019

It's about that time of year where we start seeing the UFC go to some obscure ass places! The UFC is heading to Prague which is a pretty interesting stop for the organization that seems obsessed with a show on every city in every country in the world at some point. Prague's getting a very European card; a good main event, some good undercard filler but nothing that feels like it has a definitive place in the universe. A lot of this card will be forgotten, probably even before the end of the day. At the same time, some really good European prospects are on here, the main event is superb and there's some fun filler action fights within the fluff. It isn't the sort of card you'll remember three days from now but hopefully for an early morning Saturday hang out, we'll all do just fine!

Fights: 13

Debuts:  Ismail Naurdiev, Joel Alvarez, Klidson Abreu

Fight Changes/Injury Cancellations: 3 (Sam Alvez vs Gadzhimurad Antigulov/Ramazan Emeev OUT, Ismail Naurdiev vs Michel Prezares/Darko Stosic OUT, Klidson Abreu IN vs Magomed Ankalaev)

Headliners (fighters who have either main evented or co-main evented shows in the UFC): 10 (Francis Ngannou, Cain Velasquez, Andre Fili, Jimmie Rivera, Paul Felder, James Vick, Cynthia Calvillo, Alex Caceres, Jessica Penne, Renan Barao)

Fighters On Losing Streaks in the UFC: 2 (Stefan Struve, Daniel Teymur)

Fighters On Winning Streaks in the UFC: 6 (Thiago Santos, Jan Blachowicz, Petr Yan, Michel Prezares, Rustam Khabilov, Carlos Diego Ferreira)

Main Card Record Since Jan 1st 2017 (in the UFC): 24-15

Jan Blachowicz- 4-1 Thiago Santos- 7-1 Marcos Rogerio De Lima- 2-1 Stefan Struve- 0-3 Michal Oleksiejczuk- 0-0 Gian Villante- 2-3 Liz Carmouche- 1-1 Lucie Pudilova- 2-2 Jon Dodson- 2-2 Petr Yan- 3-0 Magomed Ankalaev- 1-1 Klidson Abreu- 0-0

Fights By Weight Class (yearly number here):

Light Heavyweight- 3 (6) Lightweight- 3 (12) Women’s Flyweight- 2 (7) Welterweight- 2 (8) Bantamweight- 1 (8) Heavyweight- 1 (4) Featherweight- 1 (6)

Women’s Strawweight- 3 (4) Middleweight- (4) Flyweight- (4)

2019’s Records We Keepin Track Of:

Debuting Fighters (3-10): Ismail Naurdiev, Joel Alvarez, Klidson Abreu

Short Notice Fighters (2-4): Ismail Naurdiev, Klidson Abreu

Second Fight (11-3):  Chris Fishgold, Damir Ismagulov, Dwight Grant, Michal Oleksiejczuk

Cage Corrosion (Fighters who have not fought within a year of the date of the fight) (3-5): Michal Oleksiejczuk, Polo Reyes

Undefeated Fighters (4-8):

Fighters with at least four fights in the UFC with 0 wins over competition still in the organization (1-2):

Weight Class Jumpers (Fighters competing outside of the weight class of their last fight even if they’re returning BACK to their “normal weight class”) (5-4): Lucie Pudilova

Twelve Precarious Ponderings

1- Number of fights from 2017 onward for the two dudes in the main event: 13/2 = 6.5 fights per dude

Number of fights from 2017 onward for the rest of the main card: 26/10 = 2.6 fights per person

That's normally not that discrepant.

2- There's something really weirdly cool about this main event. It's the best and worst of 205 lbs all at once and I'm kinda enjoying that madness. Thiago Santos vs Jan Blachowicz pits a dude who started 2018 as a middleweight whooping another middleweight who is now fighting for the LHW title. He fights so often and is so much damn fun that he's like an action version of Michael Bisping; winning is amplified because it seems like he always does it and losses are hard to ever dwell on because he's back in there before people realize. His ascension at 205 lbs seems weird until you realize that he's probably equal to Jan Blachowicz's best win too. SPEAKING of Jan, he debuted and wiped out Ilir Latifi and then the UFC decided the next course of action was to throw him in there with Jimi Manuwa and THEN try Rumble Johnson. Rumble fight fell apart (Thank God) and Jan wound up getting decisioned vs Corey Anderson.  He got a gimmie vs Igor Pokrajac that he ALMOST lost then fought Alexander Gustafsson and Patrick Cummins back to back. Four straight wins including a redemption win in an awesome fight vs Jimi Manuwa has gotten him back here. This is a battle between a guy who was rushed and rebounded vs a guy who was flailing at 185 lbs then realized he could just beat up on a bunch of dudes at 205 lbs if he wanted to. I'm with it.

3- Imagine not wanting to see Thiago Santos vs Jon Jones. It may last a round but it'd be worth the price of admission.

4- Stefan Struve co-main eventing in 2019 is proof that the co-main event down doesn't matter anymore.

5- The true co-main event is Petr Yan vs John Dodson although I have questions about said fight. In all truthfulness, this fight should be at the top of the helm just under Blachowicz vs Santos. My guess beyond just genuine concern about yet another bantamweight decision in a big fight is that they sort of realized that this fight is inherently risky for Yan and don't want to put him in the co-main spot just to have Dodson 29-28 him. The counter argument would be "Well then why book him with a spoiler?" but I guess they figure they'd get that out of the way first before they move onto bigger and better things? Hopefully?

6- We're about to get our once a year Liz Carmouche fight and it's a pretty damn good one with Lucie Pudilova. Pudilova has become something of a force to be reckoned with as this march forward all hands and feet no defense action style brawler. She and Irene Aldana had one of those awesome fights you might've forgotten about last year and Pudilova's style is something that 125 lbs could really use even if it has a limited shelf life. Liz Carmouche is going to clinch and grapple a lot so here's hoping Pudilova's takedown defense and strength is up to par for it.

7- Michel Prezares is here to fight a bunch of fights at 170 lbs until he loses and then eventually get cut. The Ramazan Emeev fight felt like another attempt at getting him out of here but now he's getting a short notice dude in Ismail Naurdiev. Feel the need to point out Prezares is undefeated in the UFC vs short notice fighters.

8- Chris Fishgold vs David Teymur should be really, really interesting. Chris Fishgold is really good European fighter who had a pretty tough debut vs Calvin Kattar where he DID put on a pretty good performance in a first round defeat. David Teymur has had a rough go of of it but look who he's fighting when it's Danny Henry and Julio Arce. This is a really good regional European MMA style fight.

9- Damir Hadzovic vs Polo Reyes is a damn good fight and I will not have you jokers disparage that.

10- I feel like there's a direct correlation between Gian Villante and genuinely bad MMA cards on paper. He and Sam Alvey are like the common denominators.

11- Carlo Pedersoli vs Dwight Grant is another really good fight that sort of has no meaning or purpose but should be fun for entertainment sake.

12- It’s a European card so guess what! Rustam Khabilov is here!

THE CENTURY MATCH is here! In the Octagon cage, Vémol and Végh face each other

The wishes of MMA fans and supporters have been heard and two greats will clash in the Octagon's cage - Karlos 'Terminator' Vémola and Attila 'Pumukli' Végh. Match of two legends, two nations, but above all a unique sporting event. That will be this Wrestling of the Century, which will take place on 9 November 2019 in Prague's O2 arena.

In the field of martial arts there are no larger names in the Czech Republic and Slovakia than Vémola and Végh. One of them was the first Czech to become the most prestigious world organization UFC, the other as the champion of the American organization Bellator MMA. Now, at the peak of their careers, these two personalities will face each other for the first time.

The wrestling of the century will take place nowhere else than in the biggest Czech sports sanctuary, Prague's O2 arena. OKTAGON 15: Vegh Vemola fans will see the 9th November at oktagonlivestream.com

Due to the unique nature of the event, it will be an exclusive and unrepeatable event. Both wrestlers would win everything that can be achieved on the Czechoslovak battle scene. The subtitle Wrestling of the Century, in conjunction with the battle of these two living legends, is not at all accidental.

Damir Ismagulov takes UD over Joel Alvarez to open UFC Prague

Good body and leg work for Ismagulov mixed with good feinting, led to him out kickboxing Joel Alvarez over the course of 15 minutes. Alvarez was basically completely shut down. Threw no offense and had no urgency. Bought every one of Ismagulov’s feints and ended up getting hit with big looping power punches as a result. Only reason he wasn’t stopped is because Ismagulov only fights at one speed and only really throws two punches at a time. Eventually Alvarez was able to read when the big punches were coming but he wasn’t able to do much with the read.

“A Brief Return Back To FS1 On ESPN+” UFC Nashville Fight Preview

(So head up off the jump, I'm traveling to a convention deal gimmick on Friday and rolling back in on Saturday afternoon-ish so chances are I might miss this card even with the app. Either way I'm sure dudes around here will be able to provide the same consistent top flight analysis they always do without me agitating them)

Joey

March 22nd

I feel like we've officially reached our throwback portion of the program.  The first few UFC on ESPN+ events have been either really good (Brazil, the most recent one from the UK) or quick and violent enough (Wichita and Prague) to where everything still feels fresh and fun. I don't know if I'd call it a Honeymoon period or just a better understanding of how to broadcast MMA but either way, there hasn't really been a BAD UFC card. This one might be the first throwback to the days of yore. I'm talking about something that feels worse than bad; an inconsequential card where nothing matters and nobody goes anywhere. The show is headlined by a meaningless striker vs striker fight that some folks on the interwebs drummed up as a pseudo dream fight with Showtime Pettis vs Stephen Thompson getting top billing. The co-main event is a genuinely intriguing battle between HWs with Curtis Blaydes taking on Justin Willis and while a great third bout with Nasrat Haqparast vs John Makdessi was scheduled, it got scrapped due to injuries. Now Makdessi vs Peru's Jesus Pinedo is your third fight with Deveison Figueredo vs Jussier Formiga as the fourth support. The rest is a bunch of a blegh but we'll find some good stuff.

Fights: 12

Debuts: Ryan Macdonald, Jordan Espinosa

Fight Changes/Injury Cancellations: 3 (John Makdessi vs Nasrat Haqparast CANCELLED/Jesus Pinedo vs Chris Gruetzmacher CANCELLED/Martin Day OUT, Ryan Macdonald IN vs Chris Gutierrez)

Headliners (fighters who have either main evented or co-main evented shows in the UFC): 4 (Anthony Pettis, Stephen Thompson, Curtis Blaydes, Randa Markos)

Fighters On Losing Streaks in the UFC:

Fighters On Winning Streaks in the UFC: 7 (Deveison Figueredo, Jussier Formiga, Justin Willis, JJ Aldrich, Marlon Vera, John Makdessi, Frankie Saenz)

Main Card Record Since Jan 1st 2017 (in the UFC): 30-8

Anthony Pettis- 2-2 Stephen Thompson- 1-2 Curtis Blaydes- 4-1 Justin Willis- 4-0 Jussier Formiga- 3-1 Deveison Figueredo- 4-0 Jesus Pinedo- 1-0 John Makdessi- 2-0 Luis Pena- 1-1 Steven Peterson- 1-1 Maycee Barber- 1-0 JJ Aldrich- 3-0

Fights By Weight Class (yearly number here):

Women’s Flyweight- 2 (10) Flyweight- 2 (6) Bantamweight- 2 (15) Featherweight- 2 (13) Lightweight-  1 (16) Welterweight- 1 (19) Heavyweight- 1 (8) Women’s Strawweight- 1 (7)

Middleweight-  (7) Light Heavyweight- (10) Women’s Bantamweight- (2)

2019’s Records We Keepin Track Of:

Debuting Fighters (7-14): Ryan Macdonald, Jordan Espinosa

Short Notice Fighters (6-6): Ryan Macdonald

Second Fight (18-5): Chris Gutierrez, Bobby Moffett, Bryce Mitchell, Maycee Barber

Cage Corrosion (Fighters who have not fought within a year of the date of the fight) (7-11):

Undefeated Fighters (8-9): Maycee Barber, Deveison Figueredo, Ryan MacDonald, Bryce Mitchell

Fighters with at least four fights in the UFC with 0 wins over competition still in the organization (5-5):

Weight Class Jumpers (Fighters competing outside of the weight class of their last fight even if they’re returning BACK to their “normal weight class”) (7-5): Maycee Barber, Luis Pena, Anthony Pettis, JJ Aldrich

Twelve Precarious Ponderings

1- Who thought this main event was a good idea and why? This has good idea on paper but bad idea in reality draped all over it which makes it hard to stomach as a big fight. It sort of feels like that Urijah Faber vs Frankie Edgar fight except we knew that Faber was successful at 145 lbs so even if it was farcical, we had something to hang our hats on for some intrigue. Wonderboy vs Anthony Pettis doesn't even have THAT going for it since Pettis has never been a successful competitor at 170 lbs IF he's even taken a fight at 170 lbs. If this was some test run 165 lb catchweight bout I'd be intrigued by it but this just feels like a dumb idea on paper that's going to be borderline egregious upon execution.

2- The genesis of this fight is apparently based upon Duke Roufus claiming to have some kind of a strategy to help Anthony beat Wonderboy. What pray tell is that strategy.

3- I wonder if Thompson would've taken this fight if he could've predicted that Till would lose to Masvidal and Usman would beat Woodley. The path to a title shot is so much easier to sneak in now with both out of the picture but Thompson is fighting a monumentally inconsequential fight at the top of the bill of this show. Now granted according to Wonderboy this was SUPPOSED to be Ponzinibbio but Ponz didn't take the fight. Either way, this fight does little to advance his title shot agenda.

4- Does the UFC have a rooting favorite in Blaydes vs Willis? Is this the one genuinely good HW fight nobody cares about?

5- If there was a genuine reason to tune into this show besides "It's UFC!" and "Wonderboy vs Showtime might be weirdly cool!", it's a quartet of superb prospects all on this card worthy of your time. We can begin with Deiveson Figueiredo who has emerged as probably the top up and coming 125er in a dying division. It was rumored that the UFC offered a move up to 135 lbs for Figueiredo who opted instead to keep on kickin' at what remains at flyweight. Joe Benavidez is believed to be the #1 contender (if such a claim can even exist) but the FRESHEST fight for Henry Cejudo is Figueiredo. After that you have Luis "The Violent Bob Ross" Pena who is making the move down to featherweight for some reason after coming short vs Mike Trizano in his last fight. Pena is a really talented fighter who lacks the sort of middle ground in his fight game to deal with strong fighters who can go point A to point B in a gameplan and so the UFC recognized this and gave him a much smaller brawler type in Steven Peterson. That's a fine example of knowing a prospect. Maycee Barber is really young, ultra talented and one of the few bonafide fight finishers at flyweight so expect her to move quick. Lastly, the division may be going away but Jordan Espinosa is a really intriguing fluky record kind of guy (12-5) who has some Jon Dodson in his game. He kicks off the show vs similarly marked prospect Eric Shelton.

6- Is Angela Hill still a thing or has she settled in as a "fun" middle of the pack 115 lber now?

7- Bobby Moffett vs Bryce Mitchell is a weird fight to get a grasp on since both guys have somewhat controversial wins and neither are standout athletes. I can see this being a very fun squirrely fight. It's also worth remembering Bryce Mitchell tore a hole in his ballbag with a power tool and is somehow still competing so god speed to my dude.

8- Is Jussier Formiga the most credentialed "little" fighter (let's say 145 and below) to never get a title shot?

9- CHITO VERA! Marlon Vera returns after smelting Guido Cannetti in his backyard of Argentina to take on Frankie Saenz here in Tennessee. Really like this fight for both guys as Chito has gotten back into a groove after losses to John Lineker (in a fight he did far better than expected) and Douglas Andrade with wins over other dudes at the back end of 135 lbs. Marlon falls into that comfortable resting area between "just a solid action fighter" and "sneaky good" guy and a win over Frankie Saenz could go a long way towards creeping further and further up the latter category.

10- Peru's Jesus Pinedo gets a really tough late notice call up in John Makdessi but there are some avenues he can win this fight. Like most fighters from places like Mexico, Peru, Argentina and so on, they fight with a reckless abandon that comes from raw athletic traits with a lack of high level fight experience. We've seen Makdessi struggle against guys who fight similarly to that and while Makdessi is in the midst of a career renaissance of sorts, he's still a guy who at times needs space and pace to really get going. If it turns ugly and Pinedo can avoid being flattened, he might have a shot.

11- Will anyone from the Chris Guiterrez and Ryan MacDonald fight be in the UFC a year from now?

12- Alexis Davis vs Jennifer Maia has potential to be an all time clunker.
