Why lolNot sure if joke or not
He's a grinder, his only chance against Aliakbari would be too get him gassed out like happened to Goltsov, because early on he's most likely getting dominated. Can Vakhaev survive though? Daniel O~ did, Smoldarev who is another good grappler did not..
The fighters must go somewhere lol and honestly after tonight ACB left a bad taste in my mouth with the Fake guillotine choke and Vakhaev circus.. they are on the same level as RCC for me now."See you next time"
This is (most likely) the very last ACB event
Ain't gonna be a next time bruh!
Bro, don't blame ACB, these 2 fights were fucked up by ref mistakes, there were 15 fights, 12 or so finishes, great fights, KO and subs, the event was phenomenal!
It’s not the first time things like this have happened look at Vakhaev vs Sergeys first fight.... believe me I’m all for Russian promotions but the favoritism and bull shit that some promotions allow to happen should be put to an end.... these guys are fighting for there future and livelihood.
Kharakhanyan vs Nagibin was complete bullshit Georgii applied a Guillotine and then told herb that he was out and he was not at all never tapped never went limp ETC... Nagibin popped up Punched Georgii and got Dqed, then in the main event Vakhaev grabbed the fence after he took Sergey down and then struck Sergey with two hard hammerfist directly on the back of his head and then herb dean said something and stuck his arm out and at that moment Vakhaev secured a RNC and the fight was over....
Different culture, hard to judge
Bro Herb Dean was the ref in both fights that shenanigans happened, do you think he is selling himself? No way!
An English speaking Ref that doesn't speak the Russian language should never be hired to ref in Russia to begin with. Confusion and mistakes are bound to be caused by it.
When is the last time you saw Steve mazzagati in the UFC? Promotions can put a stop to shady and incompetent refs if they really want to....
I doubt there are enough competent refs in Russia to NOT sign any non-speaker good ref. Good referees are rare in this game, unfortunately.
Yes, it's true, but Herb Dean is respected worldwide and was once seen as the best referee, i understand ACB contracting him. He's been very inconsistent and incompetent though. Specially in Russia, because there seems like he doesn't care much.
