The Most Expected Fights in MMA in 2017

Posted on January 27, 2017 by A. J. Riot

The new year forces to establish new goals, and we hope that 2017 will be overflowing with brilliant fights, unexpected decisions, and enthralling performances. It is well-known to the dedicated fans that Aldo, Nurmagomedov, and Woodley all hunger for a fight with Conor McGregor. But McGregor’s next opponent will not be the only one surprise of the year.

What About the Last Emperor’s Destiny?

The uncertainty in Fedor Emelianenko’s career ended after signing the contract with Bellator. Presumably, Scott Coker has decided to offer the legendary Russian fighter the favorable contract terms that will allow Emelianenko to finish the remainder of his career with the company; this is expected, considering that Emelianenko will soon be forty-one. His first adversary in Bellator, Matt Mitrione, is a very worthy opponent, and the online betting fans are sure to bet here on him. He is well-rounded and a UFC veteran with an overall record of 9-5 in the promotion. While his UFC stint ended on two consecutive losses, he definitely did not look like a whipping boy. Moreover, Mitrione has started quite well in the Bellator, gaining two stoppage victories. We can only guess what Fedor Emelianenko’s physical and psychological form will be like. Is it possible that he will again abandon any semblance of strategy and only rely on his power? This battle will definitely be a big ratings draw for Bellator.

InvictaFC Bout Ends in Controversy

Posted on January 20, 2017 by Christopher Kennedy

With the widely increasing influence and popularity of the UFC, professional fighting has become more widespread than ever. Aiming to replicate the success of the UFC, nowadays, numerous organizations promote Mixed Martial Arts (MMA for short) fights. One less well-known example of an MMA fight promotion company is the Invicta Fighting Championship. Unlike the UFC which features both male and female fights, the IFC only features female fights and since its establishment in 2012 has” been dedicated to providing female athletes with a major platform to hone their skills on a consistent basis”. However, just like the UFC, the IFC holds events that feature matches for title’s based on the fighter’s weight class. Invicta was brought to the mainstream thanks to a recent controversial match between Amy Montenegro and Celine Haga held in Invicta FC 21.
