Tomorrow | KSWTV | @viaplaysportpl pic.twitter.com/C5TMWqEjTz â KSW (@KSW_MMA) July 22, 2022 Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki's KSW 72 weigh-ins were marred by unprofessional conduct on the scale, including one half of the main event missing weight by six pounds.While Andrzej Grzebyk made weight for his welterweight main event, clocking in at 170 pounds, Tomasz Romanowski hit the scales at a shocking 177 pounds. The massive weight miss came with quite the fine, as "Tommy" has been fined 50% of his purse. Additionally, Oumar Sy substantially missed the light heavyweight limit by five pounds, and he was also hit with a 50% fine of his own purse. Modest in comparison was Hubert Szymajda, coming in one pound over the lightweight limit, and his fine was levied at 30%.

The challenger started with a bang, cracking the champ with a heavy blow in the early going. âThe Dutch Knightâ recovered and moved the action against the fence, where his opponent quickly captured his neck. Bigdash (12-3, 5-3 One) opted to go for broke, attacking with a tight guillotine choke. The submission attempt seemed quite deep, but de Ridder fought out of the sticky situation. The defending champion landed a few punches after popping his head out, and Bigdash…

This week, management team Dominance MMA, helmed by Ali Abdelaziz, has just brought two more recruits for his team of athletes: top strawweight contenders Marina Rodriguez and Jessica Andrade. The partnership took place after a meeting between Gilliard Alfredo Fagundes, also known as Gilliard âParana,â the head coach of Parana Vale Tudo who managed both in a partnership between his Top Fight agency and Brazilian manager Tiago Okamura. âParanaâ spoke to Sherdog on Wednesday about his fighters being signed to the international management organization of Dominance MMA.

âI sat with Ali in a meeting and saw his numbers, his involvement with the UFC,â Fagundes explained. âFor those who are at a high level [and] close to the belt, it is very worthwhile to deal with him. I talked to Okamura, who continues to be a gr…On his YouTube channel, UFC light heavyweight Johnny Walker (18-7) announced on Thursday that he would be facing off against Ion Cutelaba (16-7-1, 1 NC) in an all-action 205-pound battle on Sept. 10. They will be colliding at UFC 279, which will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on pay-per-view. Both of these strikers celebrate career knockout rates at 75% or higher.
Walker has hit a rough patch over the last few years, but not for lack of trying. The high-flying Brazilian put himself on the map with a trio of dynamic knockouts in 2018 and 2019, where he put Khalil Rountree, Justin Ledet and Misha Cirkunov away in the span of less than four months and only 2:50 of combined fight time. Since then, four defeats in his last five outings have quelled his momentum…
The UFC 280 event on Oct. 22 continues to swell with talent and scintillating, as Combate reported on Thursday that a likely strawweight title eliminator will join its billing. Marina Rodriguez (16-1-2) will be taking on Amanda Lemos (12-2-1) in a pivotal 115-pound clash, and the victor should almost certainly crack into the title picture. The UFCâs broadcast partner of ESPN confirmed this booking shortly after its announcement on Thursday.

â Cage Warriors (@CageWarriors) July 21, 2022 Cage Warriors Fighting Championship's return to London isn't quite as stacked after a flyweight title bout was canceled due to challenger Dylan Hazan coming in overweight.The CW 141 co-main attraction has been canceled after Hazan came in 2.5 pounds over the flyweight limit. Champion Sam Creasey had made weight at 124.9 pounds but opted not to take on his heavy foe without the belt on the line. As a result, the lightweight championship headliner of Kyle Driscoll vs. George Hardwick will be the lone bout with gold up for grabs. Additionally, due to failed medical clearances of Araik Margarian and Simon Kevin, their matches with Nathan Fletcher and Luke Riley, respectively, have been pulled from the lineup.

While the Jamaican fighter had no issue and weighed 171 pounds on the dot, Lima (32-10) came in heavy at 172.8 pounds. The main event is still intact despite the miss, though Lima will be fined a percentage of his purse. Two prelim fighters on the card also missed weight, as Kevin Boehm checked in 1.6 pounds over the featherweight limit while Mark Coates missed the bantamweight cap by 1.8 pounds. Both Boehm and Coates have also been fined, and the fights will otherwise continue as scheduled.
