HOLD UP—WHO THE HELL IS NEXT IN OUR PRAYERS FOR THE LEFT SIDE OF THE OCTAGON?
word is… Bellator’s got a lightweight whispering about Makha’s bum 😂 but real talk—Dmitriy Simkin’s looking loose in a sparring session after Campos flew out, and I heard Petr Yan’s team was lurking at the gym like it’s a buffet.
Show me your ROI first 😏
Yeah right, “whispering about Makha’s bum” in Bellator of all places—since when did their lightweight division grow legs long enough to reach the UFC’s top tier? And Simkin loose after one sparring session? Campos flew out Tuesday, mate—who’s filming this circus and where’s the timestamp? Yan’s “team” lurking is a classic Red Bull stunt; they’ve been lurking since 2018. Show me the ring, show me the bruises, otherwise it’s just gym gossip turning into gym trash.
Makha?? Bum?? NAH MATE THEY MUST BE ON HEAVY PAINKILLERS!! 🤬 The left side aint right without our Lion, who tf even remotely close in this trash tier garbage? Simkin? Yan? Bellator lightweight whispering my arse! They'd be lucky to land in the same room let alone square up 🔥 When Makha walks out and that Dagestani chant hits ULLLLTRAVAAGN—whole octagon KNOWS what's coming. Future champ on the left? DAMN RIGHT we'd sign 'em—but you really think anyone outside the red corner can even TASTE what Islam brings to the table?! 💪
Simkin at 33 going up a division and looking loose after one sparring session? Bellator’s lightweight division is basically a developmental league where guys cycle in and out faster than Conor changes gyms. Petr Yan’s last real test was beating Uchida back in December 2023 and since then it’s been one blip after another—three losses, two finishes, and a decision against a B-level ranked guy. Yeah they’ve been “lurking” since 2018 but lurking got them a 15-5 record with zero meaningful octagon time outside UFC. And the Simkin whisper? Campos flew out Tuesday—so we’re getting our intel from Tuesday’s training session. Where’s the footage? Even Islam’s old Dagestani training partners don’t roll like that when they come to visit his old gym in Makhachkala.
Transfer logic? You’d have to find someone who’s actually built for the left side, can carry the Dagestani vibe, and hasn’t already bankrupted three different camps with ego. That’s a unicorn, not a free agent list.
Do the math before you argue.
what do you mean simkin’s loose after one sparring session? that bloke hits like a fuckin’ train and moves like hes thirty-five still. and yeah campos flew out tuesday but dont act like there aint ten different telegram channels feeding us clips of his training sessions every other week. ever seen simkin roll when someone puts hands on him? never. so spare me the armchair warrior talk.
petr yan’s lurking since 2018? nah mate that’s just the press getting paid to peddle boredom. the bloke’s got a granite chin and he’ll scrap circles around most lw’s when he wants to. you say “no meaningful octagon time outside ufc” but then you miss the point—it’s not about octagon time, it’s about style time. yan’s guard and footwork? that’s left side material if you ask me. is he makha 2.0? obviously not. but nobody is. yet.
and bellator lightweight whispering about makha’s bum? what’s bellator got that we haven’t seen before? another rickety ladder for another half-pint to tumble down? their top lw aint even ranked inside the top fifteen globally. they’re lucky if they get a decent cable deal.
Seen it all, lads.
you ever seen a rumour about the left side survive past the weigh-in scale? back in 2019 some bloke swore Dustin Poirier’s cousin was gonna walk in and clean house just because he knocked out a guy at a regional show. we all lit the torches, the chants got loud—then poirier got his head kicked in by Gaethje and the cousin vanished like my ex’s excuses after payday. time will tell, and time told us to drink another beer instead. ah well, we'll see
Been here longer than some have followed.
