Edmond Tarverdyan is a UFC coach again.

That kid he's working with is doomed.

This next weekend is going to be extremely busy if you make use of fightpass.

Thursday

7pm TV - (5pm Facebook/7pm NBC Sports) - PFL 2018 #4: Regular Season

We're starting Thursday with PFL and the mad scramble for $1 million at the end of the year. Their regular season continues with fighters trying to qualify for their playoffs. This particular card looks decent, pretty good for a B-level promotion.

Friday

6:30pm - (Fightpass) - Glory 55

Kickboxing. I don't usually watch it, but its on Fightpass.

Saturday

3pm - (Fightpass) - Cage Warriors 95

This card looks about average for a local promotion, with a WW title fight. This is the top feeder league in Europe for the UFC.

7pm - (Fightpass) - Invicta FC 30

Live from Kansas City, this card has an Atomweight title fight. It is very difficult to compare Invicta to other promotions, but you should know what your in for if you want to watch it. This is the top women's-only feeder league for the UFC. This card looks..... I'd say below average, they usually do better.

Sunday

11am TV - (9:30 am Fightpass/11am FS1) - UFC Fight Night, Shogun vs. Smith

Its on at a weird time because its in Germany. The main card starting at 1pm is OK, its not terrific, but I've seen worse. There is no need to watch the prelims, there's maybe 2 guys I care about at all, the rest are guys that were signed just to fill out the card and will be promptly cut if they don't do something awesome.

Tuesday

7pm - (Fightpass) - Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series

Isn't Ronda that kids manager or something?

UFC 227

Alexander Gustafsson vs <s>Volkan Oezdemir</s> TBD.

yeah, Ronda and Miesha Tate are both trying to establish 2nd careers as managers of MMA fighters. Miesha started doing it first though.

The main event for this tonight has that guy with one arm. (Well he has another arm, but not a forearm and hand)

Gus is out too, what a bummer.

We have some pretty good fights this weekend on FOX.

Saturday

1:30pm - (Fightpass) - Olympus

This is an event using a pretty new ruleset called Karate Combat. I took a look at it and its very similar to MMA with 2 very big exceptions. First, you can't clinch. If you do clinch, you are expected to immediately attempt a throw, and if its not successful, you let go. Second, they don't really have a ground or submission game. You can do a takedown (or if you knock someone down with strikes), and then they give you about 5 seconds to try to finish the fight, after which you have to stand up.

Eh, whatever, I probably won't watch it.

5pm TV - (3pm Fightpass/5pm FOX) - UFC Fight Night, Alvarez vs. Poirier 2

The prelims are OK (the early fightpass prelims are arguably better than the FOX prelims), but the main card is fantastic for free TV.

Tuesday

7pm - (Fightpass) - Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series

This right here has been a big reason my interest in watching MMA has declined.

They need to figure this out. The fighters, the trainers, and the promotions.

Sick of every card dramatically changing. Seems guys can't handle the training camps without their TRT or steroids.

Fights on Fox this weekend look good just wish they would start later

Poirer/Alvarez 1 was a really good fight until the illegal knee. It should be a good rematch. I think the Diamond beats The Underground King by TKO in round 4.

Everyone made weight for tomorrow

Good shit
