Looking like Kevin Lee might be headed back to the UFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on that Khabib show last year, where he had (if I remember it correctly) an instantly forgetable fight with Diego Sanchez. Crazy to think that its around 5-6 years since the Lee hype train was running at its maximum, when he subbed Chiesa in Round 1. Its been a real decline since then, and I dont think even the biggest of his fans will talk about him being a future champ any more. I know that Wand has never bought into his hype at any point! Hes only 30, but it already seems like his best days are behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already since his UFC return has been confirmed I’ve seen some talk about his chances but the fact he couldn’t put the empty husk of Diego Sanchez away in their fight in Eagle FC doesn’t fill me with optimism.

The UFC have apparently released Bantamweight fighter Saidyokub Kakhramonov. His overall record is 10-3, his UFC record is 2-1 and they’ve sacked him off the back of one loss to a tough guy in Said Nurmagomedov. He’s just turned 27 so hardly on the downswing. I remember him looking fantastic in his previous fight, beating Ronnie Lawrence as well. He looked like he had some potential. Obviously Bantamweight is deep enough that it won’t suffer for it but this seems a bit harsh to me. I’d say there must be more to it but I don’t know anymore.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Sakara’s still going? Jesus. Haven’t heard that name in donkey’s years. I kind of liked him as a bit of a midcard slugger in his UFC days, to be fair. He must be getting on a bit now though. Yep. 41 and hasn’t fought since 2019. Completely forgot he was in Bellator as well. Edited February 14, 2023 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 1, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2023 sounds like Darren Till's been given the chop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 1, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) With Nick Peet being so close to Till you'd have to imagine it's legit. Till has looked knackered for a while so maybe he's thinking some extended time off is needed but all I can see is him hitting the beers and crashing another taxi in Ibiza.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 1, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2023 Probably just wants to get out of the USADA testing pool for a bit so he can do colossal amounts of sniff and steroids then try a comeback. Otherwise known as the McGregor method. Even if he fully intends to step away, regroup and come back, I don’t think it’ll end up playing out that way. He’ll be in BKFC, jail or a crack den this time next year. This remains the best thing Till has ever done or been a part of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much the sniff, but it wouldn't surprise me to see fighters who have sustained either a number of niggling injuries or a serious one do what Till claims to have done. I assume that when they're under UFC contract and in the testing pool they can be called upon any time to provide a sample? Even if they don't have a fight scheduled? If that is the case, removing themselves from that scenario, getting on some of the more grey-area supplements to allow them to heal up faster and better then cycling off and re-entering the testing pool probably appeals. And dare I say, makes sense if they're doing it sensibly and under medical supervision. As we all know, there's substances deemed illegal by USADA that are perfectly legal under law.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 1, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) True but I don’t see Till being the type to do anything “sensibly” or under supervision of any kind. The USADA guys do turn up regardless of if you have a fight booked though, you’re right there. I’ve seen a few fighters moan about being woken up at stupid hours to do a test even though they never had a fight scheduled. I know they have to do it but it must be a right ballache for fighters to deal with that. Not just the tests themselves but you have to let USADA know everywhere you’re going just on the off chance they might wanna show up and test you.
