Iranians in MMA

[Farhad-7]

He fought the smart fight. Mixing it up with a Brazilian Muay Thai specialist is never a good idea. He looked fantastic on top. Man what a beast of a man. I thought the stoppage was fine.

The next matchups are not set yet. Dont pay attention to the brackets, those will be changed. Especially now with Cro Cop and Wandy set. I hope he gets Baruto.

The Rizin event was fantastic. Best MMA event in recent memory. I really missed the Pride days. Krazy Horse was worth the price of admission alone. Erson vs. Saiga was one of the best fights of the year.

Krazy horse was fucking hilarious. This was the funniest fight video I have ever since. Anyone watching, make sure you see the whole 6mins. Don't miss anything.

He calls him King Lord Amir. I want to know where that came from lol.

Towards the end, Amirakbari and Wanderlei Silva get into in to it a bit. A rumor I read was that he might be the one facing Silva - this contradicts the "verbal" agreement he had to fight Cro Cop. We'll see.

I doubt it. Wanderlei wants a big payday and he knows his fighting days are basically over. He will cash in his check against Cro Cop and bow out of the tournament. He hasn't fought in 3 years and he's 4-7 in his last 11 fights. I love the Axe Murderer but he's been done for a long time.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amir got Baruto next. Amir is the biggest guy left in the tournament outside Baruto so it would make the most sense. Baruto is really dangerous because his massive size will basically negate Amir's wrestling. You don't want to try to take down that guy and fail.

[Tehranto]

His stand-up game has to be on point with the likes of Baruto. This is a drawback with an open-weight heavyweight tournament. Huge ass guys can enter, like Baruto.

Reza "Maddog" Madadi was suppose to fight tonight at UFC 204, but had an eye injury and needed surgery. He was replaced.

BTW there is a movie about Reza Madadi does anyone know where its possible watch it?

Mousasi (Dutch, Armenian, Iranian) won his fight against Belfort by TKO.

Mousasi (Dutch, Armenian, Iranian) won his fight against Belfort by TKO.

Was a great fight. Mousasi got tagged a couple times (Belfort still has that wicked hand speed) but was able to show a strong chin and finish Belfort. I really hope he gets a title shit, even though he seemed to be pushing for a big payday with Anderson. Mousasi has always had the talent to beat anyone at 185, but his drive and aggression was always lacking. One of my favorite fighters in the past 10 years.

He said himself that it probably wouldn't make sense for Anderson to fight him, neither does it make sense for GSP, as they only have shit to lose..
I think he will wait for one of the top 4 contenders to be available for a fight and if he wins that one as well go for the title.

Not Iranian MMA news related but wow ...

Kadyrov is a thug! Fedor Emelianeko's daughter was beat up after Fedor criticized child MMA fights in Chechyna.

Some more details:

It's his daughter from his second mariage. She was walking home from school when suddenly one or more people attacked her. She was kicked in the chest area and probably was threatened too. Because as she came home after that she didn't tell her mom anything. But then after a day or so the pain became worse and he mother noticed that something is wrong. that's when they went to the hospital. She was diagnosed with "injury of the chest and abdomen. "
She couldn't describe the face(s) of the attacker(s), but according to the article it's seems as if she's hiding some info. Probably scared to death.

[EKBATAN]

wow that is messed up. Russians are legit crazy.

It looks like Rizin really wants Amir to win. Amir is set to take on easily the weakest fighter left.

Quarterfinals :
CRO COP VS WANDY
SZYMON BAJOR VS AMIR ALIAKBARI
BARUTO VS VALENTIN MOLDAVSKY
JIRI PROCHAZKA VS TBA

Quarterfinals and Semifinals will be on Dec 29.
Final is Dec 31.

Well it looks like the mystery fighter is.... Shane Carwin. He has officially been added. Rizin has also decided to let the fans decide the matchups with a fan vote (other than Cro Cop vs Wanderlei). My guess is that the fans will want to pit Carwin against Baruto. Aliakbari vs. Jiri is now highly probable as well.
