I just wanted to make a post to remind combat sports fans both ONE and Bellator have very solid cards happening this weekend.

The one card is not the most competitive cards ever on paper. But it does boast names like Lee, Cosmo , Haggerty and Rodtang. (side note: Do yourself a favor never miss a Rodtang fight. Him alone makes a card worth watching)

For you unfamiliar with ONE. It is a fight promotion from Singapore that puts on high level mixed events. Often featuring MMA, Kickboxing and/or Muay Thai fights on the same card. You will not find another place on the planet where you will see the level of muay thai in the Rodtang fight followed by a mma fight featuring by someone as talented in MMA as Lee.

For those unfamiliar muay thai. Rodtang ,Cosmo, Haggerty and Loman are all very high level and action fighters. If you dont know who Rodtang is... go to youtube. There is tons of highlights and documentary on this MT star. He is the type of fighter you build your promotion around.

The Bellator card is pretty straight forward. Its not as deep as a UFC PPV. But the main card is full of fighters easily UFC caliber. Nemkov, Anderson, Nurmagomedov and Pitbull would all easily be ranked in the UFC.

Like I said not much to add to the bellator card. I guess I should mention Tyrell Fortune. A super talented wrestler who has showed signs of possible greatness but had a step-back 2 fights ago. He was then favorably matched up and absolutely dominated. It will be interesting to see where he is at. He is fighting much lesser competition again tho.

    Usman is a top prospect for sure. If you go in blind thinking you're going to watch a Khibib clone, his striking ability and style will blow your mind.
