Fighters of the Week

  1. Ryan Bader: Well, anytime you can knock out a legend in second and become a two-division champion, yeah, take that ribbon, Darth.

  2. Adriano Moraes: In the rubber match over OneFC’s fairly prestigous flyweight championship, Moraes took home the title he made great, avenging his split-decision loss to Geje Eustaquio, and closing the book on that rivalry. Up next…Mighty Mouse? After the Grand Prix?

  3. Can Xu: One could say that putting on a hell of a show and pulling off a big upset over Jesus Rojas (despite the judges having it much wider than it should have been) to claim your first world title clearly demonstrates a real…Can Xu attitude…*snicker* *snicker*

  4. Keith Thurman: (feeble thumbs up) yeah…he looks…good. According to his managers, he wants two more tuneup fights before Errol Spence, but a lackluster title defense of Josesito Lopez doesn’t exactly radiate confidence.

  5. Jaime Munguia: Takeshi Inoue was here to fight, but in size and skill, just didn’t have the horses to keep it competitive against Munguia, who is still the WBO Junior Middleweight champion.

6. Muslim Sadulaev/Magomedrasul Idrisov/Akhmed Chakaev/Magomedrasul Muhtarovitch Gazimagomedov/Zaurbek Sidakov/Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov/Dauren Kurugliev/Shamil Musaev/Anzor Khizriev/Kika Kagata/Sarah Hildebrandt/Viktoriia Vaulina/Tserenchimed Sukhee/Yuzuka Inagaki/Anzheia Fomenko/Mariaa Kuznetsova/Battsetseg Soronzonbold/Tamrya Mariama/Hiroe Minagawa Suzuki: Your gold medal winners at the notoriously bloodthirsty Ivan Yariguin tournament in Russia. The Russians swept the men’s medals.

7. Tugstsogt Nyambayar: Is the IBO featherweight champion, and thus, is the mandatory for Gary Russell Jr’s WBC title next.

8. Yuki Egawa: Is the new Krush featherweight champion after unseating Haruma Saikyo by razor-thin majority decision in the main event of Krush 97.

9. Henry Corrales: Welp, that’s twice in six fights the legend of Aaron Pico have hit a monster speedbump. Corrales came back from the dead to rally and KO Pico, which, good for Bellator, they obviously love Pico, but Corrales is a blood-and-guts fighter, so they knew what they were up against, and he proved Pico wanting, still.

10. Jason Soares: 12-0 and still reigning and now defending Titan FC featherweight champion, he starched Caio Uruguia by knockout in the first round in the main event of Titan Fighting Championship 52.

11. Hayato Suzuki: Knocked out Daiki Matsushita to become Krush’s new Super Lightweight champion.

12. Rudson Caliocane: Claimed the vacant Titan FC bantamweight championship via UD over Edir Terry.

13. Adam Kownacki: I admit it, I thought the -750 line was too high, I wasn’t a believer in Kownacki, but good golly did he work Gerald Washington in a way nobody has, not even Deontay Wilder.

14. Koki: After an extra round, Koki left Krush 97 with the bantamweight championship, squeaking by Shuto Hagiwara at Krush 97.

15. Marcio Andre Familiabangujj: Defeated Matheus Gabriel in the main event of Fight To Win Pro 99, and got a tidy Fight of the Night bonus on top of it.
