Nepali MMA Fighters: Part II (Fighters of Nepali origin might be more accurate)

Here are a list of noteable Nepali fighters:

1. Subba Brothers (One-FC, MMA)

2. Asha Roka (One-FC, MMA)

3. Aadeep Rana (kickboxing)

4. Deva Thapa (kusti):

Danaa Batgerel vs Guido Cannetti

Guido is coming off of his loss to Marlon Vera in November of 2018 and Danaa Batgerel is also coming off of a loss to fellow country-man, Heili Alateng.  Danaa has a noteable win over Kai Kara-France.

Odds makers are giving a slight edge to Danaa probably due to Guido being out of action for over a year, his age and perhaps Danaa's decent wrestling. Danaa has two submission wins on his record and most of Guido's losses have come via submission.  If Danaa can mix it up and take Guido down, there might be his chance to win either by submission or ground and pound.  

Back in the Game!

Hi all,

After a long hiatus, I am back to writing on my blog.

First of all, there is a good boxing scrap coming up on February 8th - fight between Gary Russell Jr and Tugstsogt Nyambayar of Mongolia.  Russell is the champion and Nyambayar the challenger as well as the underdog.  Looks like everyone expects Russell Jr to win, but having watched some of Nyambayar's fights, it should be exciting.  He brings good technique and a powerful right hand as well as an aggressive style, which is fun to watch:
