So they're having a card in Poland, but not having Jedrzejczyk headline?

37...and yes he should be on the decline but he's also on a 31-1-(2) run

If it was her choice to take the ppv slot instead of the Poland card, rather than the UFC forcing her to, then it's all good.
, no sir.

Joanna gets more money being on a PPV (especially at a Madison Square Garden show) than she does headlining a Fight Night. That said, it is kind of funny that only one of Joanna's eight UFC fights has been in Europe, even though the idea of a European champion as a regular main eventer for these events on the continent seems like such a no-brainer.

They don't really need championship quality fights in European fight nights. Going to a country every couple years, you're guaranteed a great crowd every time as long as the fights are a decent quality.

Mamed is not that good.
He is/was consider as the best and almost a mma god in Poland but his wins are most vs cans. I wonder if this fight ill really happen. Last time he fought he barely beat WW champ at KSW and he got booed and he did not like it and he stopped in cage interview and left off like a little unhappy girl.
Anyway his best days are behind him. He wasted his career when it comes to competition choosing to fight lesser opponents for bigger money /debatable if he was winning in the UFC/ and god-like status.

You say he fought lesser opponents for more money likes that's a bad thing for him to do. This is prize fighting, and the main prize is money.

One bad fight should not be judged on how good Mamed Khalidov is and could be...Sure, he's aging and maybe should've been in the UFC a while ago to test himself, but he's a dangerous mother f---er everywhere, he's a Bjj purple belt that rips ankles off blackbelts, he can bang too and has finished 12 UFC veterans with relative ease....I've wanted to see him in the UFC for years and I hope it happens, Machida is a tough test granted, but there's top 10-15 guys in the UFC he will beat, I have no doubt about that. Who I'm not too sure, but let's see the test, right?

Let's see. And IMO if Machida did not declined that much he will win easily. Mameds best win is vs Santiago when Santiago was legit. Other then that I don't see much of a competition he faced that's top 20
