Salikov is 40 and slowed down so much recently and has had to rely on his clinch game, that's why he lost to Dalby couldn't keep it at distance and out worked in the clinch.

Randy Brown is going to style on him at distance and be the way bigger fighter in the clinch. That's why you got downvoted, because saying Salikov is the better striker as of rn is false and bringing up his 190 kickboxing fights doesn't prove your point anymore or any less. It's brought up during the broadcast everytime he fights.

Calling salikov someone who “pulled in gold for many years at the Olympics” is also just false. He won gold in 2008 but it wasn’t really Olympic gold, it was the 2008 sanda tournament that was held the same time frame as the Beijing Olympics. Salikov is one of the goats of sanda but he is not an Olympic medalist

Garry is also a guys who chats **** also, dude was a massive **** to Magny making Magny looking like a child abuser and having Geoff Neal mugshot on a t shirt, I don’t really care about because he promoting himself because the game the game. But I can’t respect him and it annoys me that he’s being a massive ***** when stuff is being said back, if your going to play the game, don’t be a ***** when people chat **** back, don’t think I seen a fighter pulled this ***** move before

I really want Ian to get slept, don’t think they’re a fighter who piss me off more

If you want a good laugh watch the MMA On Point video about Ian Garry.

😂😂 they make him out to be the victim, it's quite funny.

What are you talking about? He said his main training partner this camp was Shavkat.

Edwards vs. Covington
Colby Covington, DEC
Edwards does not have an urgency , however Colby more then willing to hold on to his opponent all round long every round if he needs to

Rakhmonov vs. Thompson
Shavkat Rakhmonov, SUB, R2
should be inside the distance one way or another

Ferguson vs. Pimblett
Paddy Pimblett, SUB, R1
this is like 99% chance of Paddy win

Luque vs. Machado Garry
Vicente Luque, TKO, R3
Garry can get chinned especially by the Assassin

Emmett vs. Mitchell
Josh Emmett, TKO, R1
Emmett's pressure will crack mitchell
