When will Mamed Khalidov fight in the UFC? Maybe it’s one of those things that according to quantum mechanics we can only ascribe a prediction, with each fight adding to an empirical evidence base dictating the probability of it happening? Holding first round wins over Jesse Taylor, Matt Lindland, James Irvin and Jorge Santiago in the last few years is bound to increase that probability, not to mention victories over Tor Troeng and Igor Pokajac before that. Then again, maybe the UFC are waiting until they do an Eastern European show to sign him. Who knows? The question didn’t spoil my enjoyment of KSW 19 at all. If anything, it made it even more exciting to see Khalidov face former UFC employee Rodney Wallace, a fighter who was given a pretty raw deal in that his UFC career was bookended by decisions losses to both Brian Stann and Phil Davis. If you haven’t seen the fight, I recommend you watch it below. Actually even if you have seen it, I recommend another viewing, just so you can marvel at the fight ending knockout. Hit the 720p setting and turn your speakers up to enjoy it even more.
