Iranians in MMA

[The Farbod]

This should be one of the more one sided fights in Amir's career. My guess is that Amir will try to keep it standing to show that he can finish fighters with his stand up game.

King will be giving at least 30 pounds away to Amir and almost all his finishes in MMA have come via submissions (mostly chokes). Goooooood fucking luck submitting a 2 time world champion greco wrestler.

My prediction: Amir knocks him out around the 3 min mark.

Gegard Mousasi signs with Bellator. Such a shame because he was so close of getting a titleshot. UFC is so fucking greedy.

I hate Dana White and the UFC. WME just makes it worse. I hope that one one day someone takes the UFC to the woodshed.

Btw, Reza Madadi is no longer with the UFC and is a free agent now. Would be interesting to see if he continues to fight, he is getting a bit old.

#RIZIN2017 @IranHWbeast Amir Aliakbari wins by KO!

Aliakbari murdered King on the feet in about a minute. Amir's standup has improved a lot. Some nice head movement and combinations.

Eh not really. King is ONLY dangerous on the ground. King desperately wanted this fight to go to the ground and Amir played it very smart and kept it standing. King is garbage on the feet and it showed.

Great win! Guy he was fighting wasnt good though

Honestly, he's not that bad. His ground game is pretty solid and he can submit people from the top or in guard. The problem is Amir is a bad matchup for him. That fight won't go to the ground unless Amir wants it to go to the ground and as you saw, Amir wanted to finish that fight on the feet. I think King was hand picked by Amir's camp because of this matchup issue.
