Nikita Krylov KO'd Bogdan Guskov in round one.

Nikita Krylov is a ukrainian who supports the russian invasion.

I think ukraine was not far from lynching him and he had some drama as a result.

Which could negatively affect his UFC career from this point onward.

Before today, I thought that Said Nurmagomedov was Khabib's cousin (just like Umar or Usman), but a quick search tells me they are not related, despite sharing the same surname. He didn't even train at the same Dagestani gym. I guess that makes Mitchell's win slightly less impressive.

Said Nurmagomedov trains at Akhmat Fight Team. Which is Ramzan Kadyrov of the chechen republic's MMA team.

Merab Dvalishvili often trains in UFC Performance Institute and I would really suggest him to not train there because Dana White wants to get rid of him so much that I think, one day he will put poison into his food Cheesy

I'm kidding but will this guy ever be on the main even even without superstar opponent?

125 and 135 lb divisions usually get no respect from fans.

Which is why Demetrious Johnson was traded to ONE FC.

And TJ Dillashaw defended his 135 lb belt on TV cards with no Pay Per View.

People in 125 lb are too small but can't say the same about 135lb. By the way, if we keep in mind that height of the average person, then lightweight is the best place to fight because most humans are there. Lightweight will always be the best but heavyweight is another level in terms that heavyweight champion can beat any champion of other weight because heavyweight is the maximum.

Well, look here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.J._Dillashaw

UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs. Cruz   January 17, 2016
UFC on Fox: Dillashaw vs. Barão 2   July 25, 2015

TJ Dillashaw defended the 135 belt at both events which were TV cards with no pay per view.

Then he had two PPV events with Cody Garbrandt for the title.

Then he fought Henry Cejudo for the 125 belt on another TV card with no ppv.

UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Dillashaw   January 19, 2019

Demetrious Johnson is the same story, defending his 125 belt on TV cards with no PPV.

So we can see the history of 125 and 135 divisions were always them getting no respect.

They didn't have enough fans to defend their belt at ppv events on a consistent basis.
