Since this 1 hasn't been updated, it's worth mentioning KSW has a new LHW champion in Ibragim Chuzigaev

MMA Junkie confirmed it

Thank you for everything, Maxi! Your mods had me hooked on WMMA5 for months, I had great fun with them and also making and reading dynasties based on them! God bless you!

Preview time! UBL 44: Slobberknocker - Un Jung vs. Cutelaba Week 4, January 2023 Somewhere in Eastern Europe Prelims: LW: Ottman Azaitar vs. Adam Piccolotti MW: Tom Breese vs. Fai Owyang W BW: Denise Moreau vs. Cong Teo MW: Aaron Jeffery vs. Sergey Kalinin LW: #13 Maxim Divnich vs. Thanh Le BW: #9 Montel Jackson vs. #10 Kyung Ho Kang LHW: #6 Devin Clark vs. #12 Viktor Nemkov Main card preview: 1. Heavyweight Bout: #7 Sergey SPIVAK (13-6, -300) vs. #9 Evgeny GONCHAROV (17-5-1NC, +230) Spivak has not been the same since his quick loss to the dominant Alexander Romanov, losing his following fights by KO to JDS and by TKO to Stefan Struve. The Ukrainian Sambo fighter remains dangerous from anywhere, but his suspect chin, lack of technique when striking and mediocre positional control on the ground are weak points that have cost him in his fights against the top HWs of the division. Still, he has power, he has good wrestling and he can finish fights on the ground. Goncharov is another fighter that seemed to be close to a tile fight, but is now coming off 2 violent 1st round losses, a TKO to Tai Tuivasa and a KO to Justin Tafa. Aged 36, Goncha is running out of time to build a streak worthy of a title shot. Still, he is a great boxer, he has good head movement and he's a very complete grappler. His chin is his biggest weakness, and it might be one that Spivak would love to exploit. This surely won't end in a decision. Prediction: Spivak by 1st round KO. 2. Featherweight Bout: #5 Andre FILI (22-11, -510) vs. #10 Nik LENTZ (31-14-2-1NC, +400) Fili surely ain't on the run of his career, as he is 1-4 in his last 5 and 1-3 in the UBL, with his lone win being 3 fights ago, over Cody Stamann, who has been having an even worse UBL run. Still, Fili is as "touchy" as always with his high level striking, with kicks that always bruise up his targets and capable of finishing fights with the punches (altho' the last time his punches ended a fight was in 9 years ago). He doesn't have the right grappling to be a world class fighter, but he can strike with the best of them and has a good chin as well. Lentz is also in a bad place right now, as he's 1-5 in his last 6 and 1-3 in the UBL, altho' his win is more recent, as he defeated Giga Chikadze by decision exactly 1 year ago. He's a wrestler that doesn't risk much and will look to smother his way to victories, a strategy that worked out fine against Giga Chikadze, a fighter with a style somehow similar to that of Fili. This being said, it's hard to call 38yo gatekeeper Nik Lentz a favourite, as his time in the sport is going up. Prediction: Fili by 3rd round KO. 3. Middleweight Bout: #3 Makhmud MURADOV (26-8, -270) vs. #10 Gerald MEERSCHAERT (31-18, +210) Coming off a loss in a title eliminator against Zak Cummings, Muradov is now fighting down and hoping to soon be back in the mix in the title picture. He is a good muay thai fighter with great power in his hands and a good thai clinch, and also really hard to take down. If he goes down, tho, his defence is pretty bad and his offence ain't scaring anyone anytime soon. So he's basically a striker with a suspect chin. GM3 is on the worst streak you could picture, coming off 6 straight Ls with only 1 going to the decision. Even if he's a veteran, he's still improving tho, and worked on his takedowns hard, so he can reap the benefits of his very good ground game. If it won't work, tho, he won't be lasting long against Muradov. Prediction: Muradov by 2nd round KO. 4. Bantamweight Bout: #2 Rani YAHYA (29-13-1-1NC, -110) vs. #7 Cody STAMANN (19-7-1NC, -110) Aged 38yo, veteran Rani Yahya is now likely simply a gatekeeper of the top 5, as he lost 2 title shots and a bout against rising prospect Brad Katona, but derailed contenders such as Said Nurmagomedov, Montel Jackson or Jack Shore. He is the definition of the well rounded fighter that doesn't excell anywhere, and his chin ain't what it used to be. Stamann is 0-4-1NC in his last 5, which is weird, as he's quite a capable fighter, but things simply didn't go his way. He is a good wrestler, he has a good ground game and some killer head kicks plus a good chin, but he keeps getting cought in submissions while in top control, as all his last 4. Yahya is a capable BJJ fighter, so he might be able to exploit Stamann's weakness. Prediction: Yahya by 3rd round submission. 5. Light Heavyweight Title: © Da UN JUNG (17-2-1, -200) vs. #1 Ion CUTELABA (19-7-1, +150) Da Un Jung is proving a more difficult problem than most people expected. He's 4-0 in the UBL, with his last 2 fights ending via TKO in less than 90 seconds. Also, he's undefeated in the big leagues, at 2-0-1 in the UFC and 4-0 in the UBL. He has one of the scariest punches in the copmany, and he's also skilled on the ground, despite lacking high level wrestling on the feet. Cutelaba is the UBL's first LHW champion, and is now looking to earn back his belt, as he bounced back with KOs over Carvalho and Shtyrkov after losing the belt to Yagshimuradov. He also packs one hell of a punch, plus he's got great wrestling, but his ground game ain't as sharp as that of his opponent. We're likely in for a wild ride, so let's enjoy it! Prediction: Da Un Jung by 3rd round submission. Now, be brave, be bold, and share thoseeee Main card predictions: HW: Sergey SPIVAK vs. Evgeny GONCHAROV FW: Andre FILI vs. Nik LENTZ MW: Makhmud MURADOV vs. Gerald MEERSCHAERT BW: Rani YAHYA vs. Cody STAMANN LHW Title: Da UN JUNG vs. Ion CUTELABA

Heavyweight Bout: <strong>#10 Anton VYAZIGIN (18-5-1NC, -410) vs. #15 Alexander GLADKOV (13-3, +320)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Both warriors weighed in at 265, but Gladkov looks much bigger than Vyazigin today.</p><p> </p><p> Round 1: Gladkov comes forward with some confident wild strikes but gets countered with solid hands by Vyazigin. But then he manages to counter Vyazigin with a powerful hook, and both men play safer for the next minute, trying to land from a safe distance, but no one manages to actually land anything. Still, Vyazigin is now the one pushing forward and pressuring Gladkov, and he eventually hits a good straight right. Still, Gladkov mostly defends well but can't land his attempted counter strikes. Gladkov then bursts and shoots for a takedown with 2 minutes left, and he gets it, as Vyazigin pulls guard! Gladkov simply smothers Vyazigin from top control for the remaining 2 minutes, and it's a miracle that the ref didn't get them up. 10-9 for Gladkov, as he defended well on the feet and didn't allow Vyazigin to do anything from the bottom.</p><p> </p><p> Round 2: Vyazigin comes forward wisely but again fails to land his combos, so he decides to take a more pacient approach after the 1st minute. Gladkov eats a jab on his way to clinching up. In the clinch, he does a beautiful outside leg trip and ends up on top of Vyazigin, in side control! He pounds nicely on Vyazigin from various angles, but eventually has to catch his breath and the ref gets them up with 35 seconds left. Vyazigin is again coming forward like a wounded dog, but only a jab makes it past Gladkov's defensive movements. 20-18 for Gladkov, to the surprise of many!</p><p> </p><p> Round 3: They meet in the center and Gladkov smashes Vyazigin with a right hook. But they get banging for real, and Vyazigin smashes Gladkov with a big right of his own! They trade some jabs and Gladkov hits a straight left. Gladkov throws a wild cross, tho, and gets countered with a jab and a hook to the body. Still, as Vyazigin looks tired, Gladkov grabs him in a clinch and smothers him against the cage. He hits a few knees and Vyazigin escapes, back to the center of the cage. Gladkov hits a good right hook, but takes another one to the body. Shots from both men get blocked, and Vyazigin goes to the body again. Gladkov hits a nice 1-2, tho! And Gladkov clinches again, and gets Vyazigin stuck against the cage. He hits a sharp elbow just before the round is over. Close round, I'm giving it to Vyazigin for landing the bigger strikes. 29-28 for Gladkov on my scorecard.</p><p> </p><p> Winner: Alexander Gladkov (UD: 30-27 x 3). Rating: Average.</p><p> </p><p> Post-fight: Gladkov reminds everyone Vyazigin got all his UBL wins by KO, but he proved to be simply too tough. He then calls out Alikhan Vakhaev, saying it would make for a fun fight.</p><p> </p><p> 2. Light Heavyweight Bout: <strong>#5 Rafael CARVALHO (19-7, -300) vs. #6 Rashid YUSUPOV (14-5, +230)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Round 1: They meet in the center and Carvalho eats a jab but hits a low kick. Carvalho gets brave and pressures Yusupov, steps in the pocket and hits with a heavy right cross! He keeps pressuring Yusupov, eats a counter right, but SMASHES HIM WITH A JAB-RIGHT HEAD KICK COMBO! YUSUPOV IS STAGGERING BACKWARD! CARVALHO HITS A MASSIVE RIGHT BEHIND THE YEAR AND YUSUPOV GOES DOWN! Carvalho hits some big shots to the downed Yusupov, but he's still defending decently, so Carvalho tries an arm triangle! But Yusupov defends it, and does well against Carvalho's armbar attempt too. Carvalho gets throwing a few small shots and eventually the ref gets 'em back up with 25 seconds left. Carvalho hits agood left hook just before the round ends. 10-8 for Carvalho, as he clearly outclassed Yusupov.</p><p> </p><p> Round 2: Yusupov tries to hit a straight left but Carvalho counters it with a jab but misses the head kick attempt. Yusupov treis the same left again, but gets countered with a jab-right hook combo. Yusupov throws that hand again, and gets countered with a low kick this time. Carvalho starts pushing again and hits Yusupov with another head kick, and Yusupov is groggy again! FLYING KNEE AND YUSUPOV HITS THE FLOOR! CARVALHO POUNDS WITH MASSIVE RIGHTS AND IT IS ALL OVER!</p><p> </p><p> Winner: Rafael Carvalho (Knee & Pound TKO @2:44, round 2). Rating: Decent (dunno how such a spectacular beatdown is only decent but ok).</p><p> </p><p> Post-fight: Carvalho shows respect to his opponent and gives a tottally forgettable interview.</p><p> </p><p> World rankings: Carvalho up from #25 to #21.</p><p> </p><p> 3. <strong>Lightweight Tournament Quarter Final: #1 Gregor GILLESPIE (17-2, -620) vs. #4 Drakkar KLOSE (14-4-1, +490)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Round 1: Gillespie shoots for the TD straight away, and Klose's down on his back, pulling guard. Klose scrambles up quickly, and he manages to wrestle Gillespie against the cage. But Gillespie escapes with ease. He shoots again and Klose goes down once more, this time only managing to pull half guard. Gillespie passes to side control. Gillespie doesn't find success with a Kimura attempt, and he sends some shots to the body of Klose. He also hits with some elbows, and the round soon ends. Surely 10-9 for Gillespie.</p><p> </p><p> Round 2: Klose is the one with the early initiative here, as he clinches with Gillespie and eventually gets him stuck against the cage. It doesn't last, tho, as Gillespie finds a way out, but Klose is the one shooting for the TD now, and Gillespie's pulling guard! He spends minutes peppering short strikes on Gillespie, and eventually advances to side control as Gillespie tries to scramble. From there, he lands some elbows before the round ends. 19-19 after 2 one sided rounds.</p><p> </p><p> Round 3: Gillespie shoots but can't get the takedown, so he holds Klose against the fence, where he hits him dirty boxing, but Klose manages to put himself in a dominant position. They dirty box each other, and after a minute, Gillespie escapes Klose and shoots for a takedown. But again, Klose defends well, but can't defend as Gillespie pushes him against the cage. Both lads are dirty boxing again, and Klose might be outstriking despite Gillespie having the dominant position. The ref gets them back to the center with 1:20 left on the clock. Klose starts another clinch and gets Gillespie against the cage. Gillespie escapes quickly, and as he wanted to shoot, Klose clinched him up again, and the horn sounds, fight over. Close round, but I'm giving it to Klose for the damage he dealt to Gillespie despite of positional control. 29-28 for Klose on my scorecard.</p><p> </p><p> Winner: Gregor Gillespie (UD: 29-28 x 3). Rating: Decent.</p><p> </p><p> Post-fight: Gillespie calls Klose a tougher night out than he had expected and congrratulates him for getting better since their first fight. He says he's ready for the trilogy against Fiziev and can't wait to start a second run with the belt, saying he'll make all the right adjustments to make sure he goes 2-1 against Fiziev.</p><p> </p><p> World rankings: Gillespie up from #11 to #9, Klose down from #22 to #25.</p><p> </p><p> 4. Light Heavyweight Bout: <strong>#2 Anthony SMITH (36-18, -500) vs. #3 Dovletdzhan YAGSHIMURADOV (21-6-1, +350)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Round 1: They come together and neither man lands in the first exchange, but then clip each other with some beautiful right hands. Yagshi starts walking down Smith and hits a jab-right hook combo, and a jab-body punch combo. Smith bites a faint from Yagshi and eats a jab-right hook combo. Yagshi is looking clean and dictating the pace, as he hits a 1-2, but gets caught with a jab-low kick combo. Yagshi eats 2 counter jabs but hits a flurry of 3 strikes, despite missing the last low kick. Smith dodges a bullet as Yagshi threw a wild right cross! But then Yagshi hits a hard left-right cross combo! Smith is standing strong, tho! Round over! 10-9 for Yagshimuradov.</p><p> </p><p> Round 2: Yagshi counters a right hook with one of his own! He's pressuring Smith, he eats 2 counter jabs BUT SMASHES HIM WITH ANOTHER VICIOUS RIGHT CROSS! SMITH HITS THE FLOOR! YAGSHI UNLOADS WITH BIG PUNCHES FROM BOTH HANDS! SMITH GETS UP AS YAGSHI ATTEMPTED THE MOUNT, and now Smith is pushing Yagshimuradov against the cage! Both fighters are violent in this clinch, but the ref breaks them apart with 2 minutes left. Yagshi looks a bit tired, but he still lands a good jab-right hook combo. Yagshi lands again with the same combo. And Yagshi counters another right hook with ANOTHER RIGHT HOOK. They trade some nothing, and again, Smith gets smashed with a great right hook. Great round for Yagshi, but still only 10-9 for him, 20-18 Yagshimuradov.</p><p> </p><p> Round 3: Yagshi hits a good straight right. But he's starting to look more tired, and Smith shoots! But he only manages to push him against the cage. Smith deals damage from multiple angles, and then he gets the takedown, ending up in half guard. But a scramble sees Smith turtled up with Yagshi behind him! Yagshi was throwing massive hits, but his cardio betrayed him as he was too tired to keep them coming, and Smith survives again. Smith gets up, but Yagshi still has his back. Yagshi wants to drag him down, but Smith somehow breaks free of his grip. Final minute, and Yagshi hits a clean right hand THAT ROCKS SMITH! But he misses with the following right hook! Yagshi is tired and clinches up, but Smith just pushes him against the cage, and the round's now over! A great performance by Yagshimuradov! 30-27 for him on my scorecard.</p><p> </p><p> Winner: Doveltdzhan Yagshimruadov (UD: 30-27 x 3). Rating: Good.</p><p> </p><p> Post-fight: Yagshi lets everybody know he ain't afraid of Ion Cutelaba and he'll rematch him anytime. He doesn't care if Ion gets the belt from Un Jung or not, he wants to be Cutelaba's next opponent and humble him for good.</p><p> </p><p> World rankings: Yagshi up from #20 to #14, Smith up from #17 to #13 (yup, turns out Smith was so competitive in defeat that he's moving up 4 spots in the rankings)</p><p> </p><p> 5. <strong>AND NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2023, IT IS TIME FOR THE MAAAAAAAAIN EVEEENT OF THE EVENIIIIIIING!</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> For the UBL Welterweight Title, a Welterweight Tournament Quarter Final: </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> © Niko "THE HYBRID" PRICE (17-5-2NC, -300) vs. #2 "PLATINUM" Mike PERRY (18-8, +250)</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> Round 1: Perry shows off some unexpectedly good head movement to defend against Price's strikes early on. He then hits a jab but gets caught with a jab-low kick combo. They both trade some jabs but miss their big follow-ups. Finally, Perry connects with a full combo, following up on his jab with a left body kick. Both men stand in the center of the cage, unwilling to take a step back. Perry hits two jabs, but eats a jab and a good left hand from Price. Price counters Perry's right hook with a quick jab-low kick combo. They both miss some combos, and Perry hits another jab but eats another left hook, as he's been losing out in most trades. Price hits another jab-low kick combo while Perry only lands with his jab. Perry gets greedy and eats a left hand. And Price's jab-low kick combo is dowing the job for him tonight. Perry glances Price with a head kick, but take s a spin kick to the ribs. And there's the jab-low kick combo from Price again. Last seconds, and Perry finally hits a clean right, that makes Price smile as the round ends. Round over and it's surely 10-9 for Price, but Perry found a way to land his big right late in the 1st round, can he do it again?</p><p> </p><p> Round 2: The first minute is uneventful, and in the 2nd, Perry hit Price with a hook to the body. Both men trade some jabs. Perry gets wild with the right cross and misses, allowing Price to hit 2 quick jabs and a kick to the ribs. Both men start breathing a bit heavier. Another leg kick lands for Price. Price shows good movement to avoid some ambitious combos from Perry. They trade leg kicks. And Perry tries the big right again, but gets countered with a body kick. Price hits another kick to the body. But Perry finally connects with another big right, despite missing the set up shots. Price hits a pair of jabs but eats another big right! AND HE'S DAZED THIS TIME! BUT THE ROUND ENDS BEFORE PERRY CAN GO FOR THE KILL! Perry might have struck two hard shots, but Price heavily outstruck him, so it's 2-18 for Price on my scorecard. Still, Perry just found out he can rock Price, so he'll likely be even more dangerous as the fight progresses.</p><p> </p><p> Round 3: Perry dodges a left and hits a jab, and Price barely dodged the right hand that was coming. Perry's confident. Price hits a body kick and dodges a head kick. He then clinches with Perry, likely trying to exploit the wholes in Perry's wrestling and ground game. He pushes Perry against the cage. He goes to the body and legs with knees and punches. And many other strikes. And the ref gets them to the center with 2:20 left on the clock. Price is looking kinda tired, but so is Perry. Price lands a hook, but Perry hits him with the right again! And Price misses with a big left hand, as Perry hits a jab-right hook combo on the counter. Price seems exhausted, as he clinches with Perry. He can't take Perry down, but he does land a few short punches. And the round is over. 30-27 for Price, but can he keep going? He looks to be more tired than Perry right now.</p><p> </p><p> Round 4: Price hits a left cross, BUT PERRY LANDS A RIGHT UPPERCUT AND NIKO PRICE HITS THE FLOOR! MIKE PERRY IS DEALING MASSIVE DAMAGE WITH THOSE HAMMER FISTS, AND NOTHING BUT THE REFFEREE CAN STOP MIKE PERRY! AND WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!

Also, I remember in one of my older games that I never made a dynasty thread about that McGregor signed with One too then got submitted in the 1st round by Shinya Aoki in his debut.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> LOL at the thought of McGregor vs. Aoki, the build up would probably be great. Sadly, Aoki is 40yo and retired right now in this save. </p><p> </p><p> Regarding Rose, I don't see anyone taking the title off her anytime soon. Maybe Weili, if she somehow earns another title shot and can land the perfect punch? Still, she's 2-2 since losing the title and coming off a loss right now, so she'd probably need at least two back to back wins to get a title shot.</p><p> </p><p> Now, Preview time!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>UBL 43: The High Kid Strikes Back - Price vs. Perry II</strong></p><p> Week 2, January 2023</p><p> Somewhere In Eastern Europe</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Prelims:</strong></p><p> MW: Artem Frolov vs. Salamu Abdurakhmanov</p><p> LW: Loik Radzhabov vs. Gadzhi Rabadanov</p><p> HW: Tony Johnson Jr. vs. Thierry Couturier</p><p> WW: #14 Murad Abdulaev vs. Miguel Baeza</p><p> FlyW: #13 Li Rao vs. Katalin Feher</p><p> FW: #13 Alex Gilpin vs. #14 Jung Young Lee</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Main card preview:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> 1. Heavyweight Bout: #10 Anton VYAZIGIN (18-5-1NC, -410) vs. #15 Alexander GLADKOV (13-3, +320)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Vyazigin is finally making his first main card appearance in the UBL, after going 3-1 in the company, with his most recent win being a 1st round KO against Javy Ayala, before he himself got stopped in the 2nd by "Bogatyr" Denis Goltsov. To the surprise of nobody, all of Anton's UBL vicories come via KO. His hands can likely crash boulders, and his technique ain't bad either. He also has some good takedowns and top control, bot from there, he's not quite a submission threat, altho he can do damage with those heavy hands. His opponent, 37yo Alexander Gladkov has been ruling the Russian MMA scene for years before his UBL debut, where he got upset by #14 Jared Rosholt by decision. The Russian sambo master is looking to use his grappling to earn another victory, but his gameplan is usually pretty one dimensional and Vyazigin seems to be a good enough grappler to secure the win.</p><p> </p><p> Prediciton: Vyazigin by 1st round KO.</p><p> </p><p> 2. <strong>Light Heavyweight Bout: #5 Rafael CARVALHO (19-7, -300) vs. #6 Rashid YUSUPOV (14-5, +230)</strong></p><p> </p><p> If there's one thing you can be sure about when Carvalho fights, it's you're likely gonna see a violent finish, as all of his 5 UBL fights ended in a KO/TKO, with only one making it out the 1st round. Right now, he's coming off a 1st round KO against #8 Ryan Spann. At 36yo, Carvalho's barely slowing down, as the muay thai veteran will always look to dish out damage on the feet and eventually control in the clinch if the fight isn't going his way while striking. In just a few months, Rashid Yusupov went from the title picture to outside of the top 5, as he's coming off losses to current champion Da Un Jung and #6 Sam Alvey. He's a pretty well rounded fighter, with powerful punches, good wrestling and a pretty good ground game (altho' lacking in the offensive department). The ground would be the only place where Yusupov might be a favourite over Carvalho, but taking Carvalho down should not be easy.</p><p> </p><p> Prediction: Carvalho by 1st round KO.</p><p> </p><p> 3. <strong>Lightweight Tournament Quarter Final: #1 Gregor GILLESPIE (17-2, -620) vs. #4 Drakkar KLOSE (14-4-1, +490)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Former champion Gregor Gillespie had a dominant reign, dropping no rounds untill Rafael Fiziev got the best of him in their rematch. Now, he's coming off a crushing 1st round KO loss to Fiziev and needs to go through Klose to get to fight for the belt again. As he's a 36yo LW, his chin can't take the kind of shots he was eating earlier in his career, but his wrestling remains top notch, and his top control seems more dominant than ever. Add in some good head movement and his powerful boxing and you've got a dangerous veteran of the game, who loves to drag his opposition down and smash with ground striking. Klose has not been having the time of his life in the UBL so far. He earned a title shot, got 1st round Kimura'd by Gillespie, bounced back with a good win over Tsarukyan, got caught in a Guillotine by Moicano, and got a good win over Rashid Magomedov. Now, he is meeting Gillespie again, with high stakes, as the winner will meet champion Rafael Fiziev in the semi-finals. Klose's style is similar to that of Gillespie, in their first fight, his defence did not seem sharp enough to weather the storm that is Gregor Gillespie. While he is slightly superior on the feet, the fight will likely be going to the ground, and Klose might have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to win this one.</p><p> </p><p> Prediction: Gillespie by decision.</p><p> </p><p> 4. <strong>Light Heavyweight Bout: #2 Anthony SMITH (36-18, -500) vs. #3 Dovletdzhan YAGSHIMURADOV (21-6-1, +350)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Lionheart had an interesting 2022, as he earned a title shot after KOing #6 Ryan Spann in the 2nd round, but got finished quickly by the powerful champion, Da Un Jung. But Smith is ambitious as always and already wants to work his way back up to another title fight. While his chin is getting weaker, it can still take some good shots. His stand up is as dangerous as always, and his ground game is getting better, as Smith in top control usually means big trouble for those underneath him. He's facing ex-champion Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov, who has just bounced back with a UD win over Devin Clark after losing the belt to Un Jung. Like Smith, Yagshi's chin ain't getting better, but he can still cause trouble with his boxing and his thai clinch offence. He's also pretty good on the ground, but surely not on Smith's level. Smith likely has got this, but Yagshi does have a puncher's chance, as he's a proven KO artist.</p><p> </p><p> Prediction: Smith by 1st round KO.</p><p> </p><p> 5. <strong>Welterweight Title & Tournament Quarter Final: © Niko PRICE (17-5-2NC, -300) vs. #2 Mike PERRY (18-8, +250)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Finally, we start the year off with a rematch of a 2021 title fight, with reversed roles. Price received a title shot then, as Mike Perry called him out after snatching the belt of Jinglian Li, and Price had a beautiful performance, winning 4 of the 5 rounds to become champion. He rematched Li in his next fight, and managed to avenge his loss via 3rd round armbar, and now he's ready to face adversity again, as Perry is coming off some great performances. Price was always a skilled striker, but he's been working hard on his grappling both on the feet and on the ground, which showed in his last fight, as it was his first submission win in 11 fights. Some would even argue he's turning into a lite Anderson Silva, but he has way more to prove to be in the same discussion with the legendary Spider. Now onto the challenger. As I said, Perry is coming off quite impressive performances, smashing the young Sean Brady for 15 minutes straight and pulling off a major upset against top European fighter Ismail Naurdiev, whwo he TKO'd in the 1st round. Perry is always down to throwdown, and it's likely exactly what he'll be doing - swinging for the fences and hoping he lands a killer shot. With all this momentum, is hard to bet against him, but if Price takes it to the ground like he did with Li, he'll surely dominate. Will he get to take it to the ground, tho?</p><p> </p><p> Also, the winner of this bout has the pleasure of fighting Yaroslav Amosov in the semi finals.</p><p> </p><p> Prediction: Perry by 1st round KO.</p><p> </p><p> Now, for the first time in quite some time, time to shaaaare thoooooose</p><p> </p><p> Main card predictions:</p><p> HW: Anton VYAZIGIN vs. Alexander GLADKOV</p><p> LHW: Rafael CARVALHO vs. Rashid YUSUPOV</p><p> LW Tournament QF: Gregor GILLESPIE vs. Drakkar KLOSE</p><p> LHW: Anthony SMITH vs. Dovledtzhan YAGSHIMURADOV</p><p> WW Title & Tournament QF: Niko PRICE vs. Mike PERRY</p>

EARTH-SHAKING BREAKING NEWS: CONOR MCGREGOR SIGNS WITH ONE FC! After a hiatus of a year and a half, "The Notorious" McGregor is back! He had started this hiatus after the last fight of his UFC deal! But surely, no one would have seen him signing with any other company than the UFC? Well, it looks like ONE is up to great things, as Conor is debuting in February, against Sage Northcutt! MMA AWARDS 2021-2022 1 January, 2023 1. Fighter Of The Year: Winner: ASKAR ASKAROV (3-0) Other nominees: Kevin Lee (2-0), Ricky Simon (4-0), Zabit Magomedsharipov (3-0), Amir Albazi (2-0). As the nominees suggest, it was a great year for the representatives of the lighter weight classes, with 2 flyweights, a bantamweight, a featherweight and a lightweight making up the list. Now, about the winner. The deaf Dagestani warrior had one hell of a year. In January, he kicked the year off with a fight against Brandon Moreno, the only man that he had fought without defeating, as their 2019 bout ended in a split draw. No room for doubt about who won this fight, as Askarov got a 3rd round TKO, and his next fight was the title shot, against Demetrious Johnson. He shocked the world, finishing Mighty Mouse with a barrage of punches in the 2nd round, after a back and forth fight. Finally, in October, Askar got his first main event, as he defended his newly earned belt against Cody Garbrandt. It was an absolute classic, as Garbandt proved he still has a solid chin, while hitting beautiful boxing combos, but Askarov's punches eventually proved to be too much early in the 3rd round, as a hook knocked Garbrandt down, and the GNP that followed ended the deal. A great year for the 30yo Russian, who now sports a record of 17-0-1, and the world hasn't been so interested in the Flyweight division since DJ's first reign. 2. Female Fighter Of The Year Winner: ROSE NAMAJUNAS (3-0) Other nominees: Sarah Kaufman (3-0), Livia Renata Souza (3-0), Mariya Agapova (2-0), Ketlen Vieira (2-0). Amanda just lost. Valentina lost 3 of her last 5. Meanwhile, Rose is the WMMA great right now. Thug Rose's second SW title reign is stuff of legend. After winning the belt and defending it 3 times in 2021, Rose continued this great run with 3 more defences in 2022, finishing Gadelha by 1st round TKO in March, Waterson by 1st round TKO in July, and Torres by 2nd round Guillotine in December. No one seems close to her at the moment, and the world expects greatness when a Rose fight gets announced. 3. Fight Of The Year: Winner: Justine Kish vs. Katsue Hatanaka (UBL 41: Slavic Roulette - Agapova vs. Shevchenko II) Other nominees: Collin Anglin vs. Matt Sayles (UFC Fight Night: Wu vs. Robertson), Askar Askarov vs. Cody Garbrandt (UFC Fight Night: Askarov vs. Garbrandt), Zabit Magomedsharipov vs. Ryan Hall (UFC on ESPN: Costa vs. Hermansson), Brad Riddell vs. Joe Lauzon (UFC 264: Lauzon vs. Riddell). 12 minutes of astonishing violence took place on the UBL 41 prelims, stealing the show, as Justine Kish and Katsue Hatanaka slugged it out and had the crowd even more excited than the main event of the night. Both girls were aggresive on the feet, and eventually Kish knocked Katsue down in the 3rd round and finished it off with a crazy Kimura that had the crowd burst sit and applaud this amazing fight. 4. Company Of The Year: Winner: UFC Other nominees: UBL, Bellator, ONE Championship, ACA. 5. Knock Out Of The Year Winner: Collin Anglin KOs Matt Sayles (UFC Fight Night: Wu vs. Robertson) Other nominees: Holly Holm KOs Amanda Nunes (UFC Fight Night: Nunes vs. Holm II), Junior Dos Santos KOs Sergey Spivak (UBL 36: Late Appointment - Tavares vs. Stewart), Steven Ray KOs Borys Mankowski (UBL 34: Defiant - Ray vs. Mankowski), Johnny Clean KOs Jeff Molina (UBL 27: Young Lions - Simon vs. Lazishvili). In what was an absolute banger from top to bottom, Anglin whetered one HELL of a storm from Matt Sayles, who outstruck him by over 40 strikes, to finish him off with a crazy counter cross that left Sayles out cold on the floor. Now, Anglin is set to fight in his first main event, against Arnold Allen, in February. 6. Submission Of The Year: Winner: Justine Kish Kimuras Katsue Hatanaka (UBL 41: Slavic Roulette - Agapova vs. Shevchenko II) Other nominees: Gillian Robertson North-South chokes Yanan Wu (UFC FN: Wu vs. Robertson), Zabit Magomedsharipov Amrbars Ryan Hall (UFC on ESPN: Costa vs. Hermansson), Jeremy Kennedy D'Arce chokes Ilia Topuria (UBL 33: Godlike Brawlers - Un Jung vs. Smith), Aliaskhab Khizriev D'Arce chokes Bartosz Fabinski (UBL 22: Who Smash' The Hardest? - Romanov vs. Latifi). As we detailed earlier, Kish and Katsue wrecked each other until Kish went: "You know what? Screw this standing in banging, Imma rip your arm off!". 7. Main Event Of The Year: Winner: Brad Riddell vs. Joe Lauzon (UFC 264: Lauzon vs. Riddell) Other nominees: Askar Askarov vs. Cody Garbrandt (UFC FN: Askarov vs. Garbrandt), Gillian Robertson vs. Yanan Wu (UFC FN: Wu vs. Robertson), Holly Holm vs. Amanda Nunes (UFC FN: Nunes vs. Holm II), Steven Ray vs. Borys Mankowski (UBL 34: Defiant - Ray vs. Mankowski). What was expected to be one of the most low level UFC main event of the last years ended up overdelivering in a major way. Undefeated in his UFC career, Brad Riddell came into this fight 5-0 in the UFC, having just broke in the UFC LW rankings, at #14. UFC veteran Joe Lauzon came into this fight off his second ever 3 fight winning streak in the UFC, with his first streak coming ages ago, in 2006-7. The two round fight was an absolute barnburner, with the two displaying spectacular defensive movement and countering each other hard. Eventually, as round two was reaching its final seconds, Riddell caught Lauzon with a big overhead right and shattered the veteran's remarkable streak with GNP. 8. Show Of The Year: Winner: UFC 264: Lauzon vs. Riddell (84) Other nominees: LFA 145: Meguro vs. Guthrie 2 (84), Bellator 287: Macfarlane vs. Pudilova (83), UFC Fight Night: Wu vs. Robertson (83), UBL 24: Savage - Spivak vs. Struve (82). The whole card was not expected to be much to be excited for, but it ended up being one of the biggest overdelievries in the history of the company, as the crowd got to watch amazing fights back to back, with 5 finishes on the main card and an epic main event. Big time rising prospect Maycee Barber got matched up against an unimpressive Hannah Goldy, and walked through her, finishing the fight with an Americana 80 seconds into the 1st round. Following this fight, she demanded a title shot and went on to win the belt off Chookagian. Jonathan Martinez then went on to get his due against Nathaniel Wood, to keep rising through the rankings, and did just that, as he KOed his opponent after a 3 minute long firefight, in what was one of the biggest upsets of the year. Ricardo Ramos tested himself against gatekeeper of the lower weight classes, Alex Caceres, and looked great both on the feet and on the ground, finishing quickly with a late 1st round Armbar. In the co-main, veterans of the W SW division collided, as Angela Hill took on Karolina Kowalkiewicz, in what was the last fight for both ladies. Hill dug deep to have arguably her best UFC performance ever, as she outstruck Karolina for the whole fight before finishing her early in the 2nd round, knocking her out cold. And in the main event, Riddell cemented himself in the LW rankings in a great war with rugged veteran Joe Lauzon. Riddell went on to finish two top contenders in his next fights, in #9 Dan Hooker and #2 Al Iaquinta, while Lauzon bounced back with a UD win over #13 Drew Dober. 9. Rookie Of The Year: Winner: Tadamichi Teraoka (2-0) Other nominees: Aaron Mouton (4-0), Sander Zelenskaya (4-0), Shusui Kawakami (2-0), TAIGA (2-0). Japanese welterweight Tadamichi Taraoka arrived to DEEP from the world of karate, where we won multiple medals in world competitions. He got thrown straight into the deep end of DEEP's division, as his first opponent was 33 fight veteran Rousimar Palhares, who he TKOed in the 3rd round, after bullying him for the whole first 2 rounds, in a wonderful bout. Then, for his second bout, Teraoka faced ex-Bellator WW title challenger Karl Amoussou, who was coming off an unsuccessful title challenge in DEEP. This fight was much shorter, as Teraoka proved he's managed to become a well rounded martial artist despite only debuting months ago, as he took Amoussou down with ease and found a beatiful D'Arce Choke to finish off the bout 4 minutes in the 1st round. It's looking as Tadamichi might go on to be one of the best in the sport, as his striking and head movement seems second to none, he can dominate great grapplers in the clinch, and despite having awkward positioning while on the ground, he can sink in ruthless submissions and defend himself against great BJJ players. 10. Upset Of The Year: Winner: Karl Moore beats Corey Anderson (Bellator 283: Moore vs. Anderson, +830) Other nominees: Justin Tafa beat Evgeny Goncharov (UBL 32: Fearless - Tumenov vs. Condit, +720), Gabriel Varga beat Adam Borics (Bellator 281: Hager vs. Gerges, +790), Lorenz Larkin beat Douglas Lima for the Bellator WW Title (Bellator 279: Lima vs. Larkin III, +670), Stefan Struve beats Sergey Spivak (UBL 24: Savage - Spivak vs. Struve, +660). Let's hand out some honorable mentions, as I'm guessing we all love a good underdog winning against all odds: Alex Oliveira beats Gilbert Burns for the UFC WW Title, Joaquin Buckley beat Brandon Allen, Cory McKenna beat Amanda Ribas, Jamelle Jones beats Don'Tale Mayes, Kiefer Crosbie beat Douglas Lima, Abdul Razak Alhassan beats Jorge Masvidal, Jonathan Martinez beats Nathaniel Wood, Jeremy Kennedy beats Ilia Topuria for the UBL FW Title. Now, about the upset of the year. One hell of a story for this bout! Moore was 4-1 in Bellator coming into this fight. He had lost to Vadim Nemkov in Vadim's first fight after dropping the belt to Corey. He bounced back with a 1st round TKO against Arunas Andriuskevicus, and was about to have the biggest fight of his career, a main event bout with Corey Anderson. This was the last fight of Corey's short lived Bellator career. To recap his Bellator run, Corey debuted against the powerful veteran Melvin Manhoef and TKOed him in the 2nd round. The title fight was next for Corey, and he won the belt after a dominating performance against Vadim Nemkov. But unfortunately, his suspect chin got smashed by Phil Davis in his 1st defence. Despite the loss, the UFC decided they want him back, and as the world was preparing for Anderson vs. Moore, it was announced that this would be Corey's last Bellator fight, as he was going back to the UFC. Well, Karl Moore made this one matter, as in one of the best 1 round fights you'll ever see, Moore turned Corey's lights off with a mean right hook and unforgiving ground and pound, cementing himself as a big time fighter! Now, he's scheduled to fight #7 Bellator LHW Yannick Bahati, and might be receiving a title shot with a win here!

EYO, EYO, EYO, THE U-B-L IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK I decided to go fast through the next year of the dynasty, 2022, and now, for 2023, we'll switch back to the original way! But let's see what happened in 2022! TITLE FIGHTS: UBL HW: Alexander Romanov beats Ilir Latifi by TKO (Mount GNP) @3:58, round 4 (UBL 22). LHW: Da Un Jung beats Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov TKO @1:04, round 1 (UBL 25). Da Un Jung defeats Anthony Smith by TKO@1:24, round 1 (UBL 33).
