Instead of spamming the boards everytime I see some cool news, I’ll post it here. I’ll also keep track of prospects I like, new signings to ufc/dwcs/Bellator/etc.

Volkov said in a podcast that his fight vs pavlovich is going to happen now. He said he was trying to get out of it because he didn’t want to fight a friend but he said he is unable to turn it down because he had previously turned other fights down & felt he had no other option to accept

Unpopular opinion - if someone offered me 275k (Volkov's show salary) to fight my friend, I wouldn't even hesitate for 0.005 seconds to accept that offer.

@Cozstradamus 
yeah but to be fair that's not the scenario.

Instead what if someone came to you and was like, you have 2 options:
- Fight your friend for 275K
- Don't fight your friend and I'll get you someone else for 275K

So I think a lot of fighters want option 2 until they have no other choice.

@Gregory 
this is a fair point.  Especially because in this case, him fighting his friend means if he wins, it could significantly hurt his friend's career projectory. 
 
I guess I was mainly just trying to make fun of myself for being a money hungry *****.  If someone offered me $275k to fight my 94 year old grandma, I would hesitate for a second but would probably still take it at the end of the day.

That's easy: finish your grandma with a rear naked and pay for her treatments with the money earned. 

Win-win situation.

no free rides.  She can pay for her own treatment with her VA benefits.  She better still send me a Christmas card too.

My concern with the Volkov Vs. Pav fight is because they're good friends, we could get a 'fight' that is a repeat of Natan Schulte Vs. Raush Manfio

No surprise there. TKO and Dana have their favorites. Nothing we can do about that.

@kniferusty Volkov also said hes never taken a round off of pavlovich in sparring, so I don’t imagine he is looking forward to actually fighting him lol

Alatengheili vs Kleydson Rodrigues May 18th. Shocked they’re giving KR a winnable fight for once

Holy macadamia, amazing fight ! Hill should wait a little bit more though. 

Rountree is no joke.

Usually when russians that know/respect one another fight it looks like a sparring match whcih Pavlovich has done in the past. That would favor Volkov a bit.

Looks like Sefo jumped the gun. Seeing multiple people saying as of right now Paul Hughes has not signed with the PFL.
