ONE FC has their own event day before but this is mostly Muay Thai and fights with custom rules.

Long awaited PFL vs Bellator Champs MMA event is scheduled for this Saturday!
Ryan Bader vs Renan Ferreira should be a very interesting heavyweight fight to watch.
Ferreira is younger and he has a reach advantage but anything can happen in heavyweight fights with one good punch.
Veterans Thiago Santos and Yoel Romero are coming back and Nemkov is facing Cappelozza in another heavyweight fight.
Dont miss this if you are MMA fan.

PFL just announced that Francis Ngannou first MMA fight after signing a new contract is going to be against winner of Renan Ferreira vs Ryan Bader.
Ngannou is better than both of this guys, but this weekend will show who is going to face him, now they have extra motivation 
I think Ferreira can win if he doesnt allow Bader to take him on the ground.

I'm not following PFL at all but might start if Ngnnou actually returns to MMA.
Ferreira has just beaten Ryan Bader within 30 seconds of the first round, he put him down with the first punch. I haven't seen any of his previous fights but that was impressive.
As for Ngannou, I wonder if there's an actual date set yet, or is his return contingent on the outcome of his fight against Anthony Joshua.
I imagine he will prioritise his boxing career and do MMA only when there's no profitable boxing bout available. Should he defeat AJ, he'll probably be looking to fight a rematch with Fury, but if Fury wins, I'm not sure if Francis will be allowed to fight for all those belts (assuming Fury defeats Usyk) after only having 2 boxing fights in his resume.

It is not if he returns, he has a signed contract already, so it is only a matter of when exactly this will happen.
He cant have priority for boxing because he first signed contract with PFL and he is working in big project Road to Africa.
Mike Tyson was in face-off between Ferreira and Bader, and Ferriera looked huge for this fight.

OneFC 166 (Qatar) concluded. I was looking forward to a great battle between Brooks vs. Pacio for the strawweight MMA title but the match ended quickly. What's disappointing was it was due to a disqualification (Brooks slamming Pacio to the ground head first). Brooks was celebrated immediately after the ref stopped the match because he thought he won by KO but was later informed his slam was illegal.

I missed this event because I was busy in last few days, but main event looks interesting with fighters from Europe.
Most of the fighters from this event I dont know and I think that ONE FC is slowly dropping in quality compared to PFL.
Demetrious Johnson is still there but I dont see him fighting so much this days.

Bellator Champions Series is starting in few days in Belfast, Ireland and there are very interesting fights to watch.
Patricio Pitbull is going against Jeremy Kennedy in featherweight category co-main event, and Corey Anderson vs Karl Moore in main event for Light Heavyweight belt.
Home crowd will have a chance to support plenty of fighters from Ireland in this cards.

PFL is finally back with another great event!
Main event is fight of big heavyweight guys Ante Delija and Valentin Moldavsky.
I watched Delija fight several times and I think he is training with legendary Mirko CroCop, and he is favorite to win in this fight.
He has a reach advantage and he is heavier than Moldavsky but anything can happen in heavyweight category with one good punch.

Legendary Fedor Emelianenko was at the PFL 1 main event on the side of Valentin Moldavsky, maybe he is part of his coaching team.
I expected more from Ante Delija but I was really surprised by Moldavsky great performance, he quickly won the fight in first round and made it look easy.
This was a total domination by Valentin Moldavsky and you can watch full video of this short fight:

PFL 2 is already moving along with new event for this weekend with Kasanganay vs Polizzi as main event in the card..
Patricky Pitbull vs Clay Collard is on the same card, and there are other interesting fights, so I am expecting great MMA weekend with PFL and UFC 300.
This is a nice warm up for UFC event and it should be interesting hot night at Las Vegas this weekend.

PFL is back this week with PFL3 regular season.
I am really interested to see more Magomed Umalatov in main event against Andrey Koreshkov.
He has a perfect MMA record 14-0 and he is not a young fighter but I never watched him before.
More good fights on this card with Neiman Gracie, Bubba Jenkins and few other fighters.
