🤞 Coach Javier Mendez wants to see his student Islam Makhachev take on Conor McGregor one day
“It could very well be the biggest fight in UFC history if that was to happen.
To be honest with you, [Conor] brings so much to the table. If I had a wish list, that’s the one, because I wanna get that one again.”

🚨🤕 Ilia Topuria’s close friend Pablo Motos, gave an update on Topuria’s physical and mental state after his loss to Justin Gaethje.
“This morning I was with Ilia. He has fractures in his orbital bones, in his nose. This morning they were treating his wounds and he still couldn’t open his eyes properly.
Then we were talking about something we’re going to do this summer, making jokes, and then he said a phrase I loved. He looks at me with his eyes closed and says, ‘Champions, when we fall, we fall hard.’
They’re already looking toward the future. He was telling me, ‘I’d love to do the rematch in Spain with Gaethje.’”

Ramai antara kita tak pernah masuk hutan, jauh sekali nak kenali semua bunyi burung.
Kadangkala bunyi kicauan burung disalaherti dengan bunyi hantu mengilai.

Who’s gonna win it?
Johor Darul Ta'zim Club 🇲🇾 has ordered me to delete my post and publish another one within 24 hours stating that the club – and, above all, its owner, the Regent of Johor – has nothing to do with any of this, failing which I face attacks and legal action
Firstly : intimidation may work on some people, but I have not backed down in the face of international paedophile networks (which have led to the imprisonment of dozens of coaches and officials across the sporting world), so if you think you can intimidate me with this, you can try again.
Secondly : I was referring to the Malaysian Football Association, not your club specifically. Are some of the players sanctioned for false licences part of Johor? Yes (Irazabal, Figueiredo or Hevel). Does that imply that Johor is responsible for the trafficking? No, but on the other hand, Johor may well have inadvertently breached the rule on the number of foreign players allowed in a Malaysian Super League match
Take the match against Negeri Sembilan, where those three players featured, plus the Brazilians Jairo and Bergson, the South Korean Park, the Malian Sidibé, the Spaniard Arribas, and the Azerbaijani Israfilov
There were more than six foreign players on the pitch (seven in the starting line-up), so why didn’t the federation strip them of the victory? The sanction is INTERNATIONAL, so Malaysia Super League must also be affected
Nothing more, unless your club is above the law?
No ill will
Keep the faith !
Match fixing is spreading around the world including Malaysia. Never said it's related directly to Johor by the way but in a global point of view
For your information : Malaysia was used as a platform to host friendly/unofficial tournaments in order to fix games (at the time of Dan Tan/Wilson Perujmal but after too)
The system of false nationalities used by the Malaysian Football Association 🇲🇾 has been detrimental not only to Asian opponents but also to Malaysian teams in the league itself, as the fraud benefited the Johor Darul Ta'Zim club – owned by the eldest son of the King of Malaysia and Sultan of Johor
Despite the sanctions imposed (belatedly) by FIFA on the players and the federation (merely a fine), a question arises : how did the officials manage to get away with NOTHING ?
How can the federation continue to act as if nothing had happened, given that Malaysian football is, to boot, riddled with serious problems (refereeing, the fixture list, failure to comply with basic rules and regulations, match-fixing, violence...) ?
