Is it just me or does it seem that the Main Event will be a one-sided fight for Islam Makhachev to be the winner of this fight as good for Islam Makhachev, well, I don't really want to underestimate Dustin Poirier but this is what I am seeing may happen in their upcoming fight and we all know that Poirier has a good boxing combination but apparently, we can not say if he has good takedown defense as Porier has said that he has a belt in BJJ but I surely doubt if the level of his particular ground game could initially submit Makhachev.

While Sean Strickland to Paulo Costa is some kind of interesting sure these two will just run their mouth in the following press conference for sure and I am really excited to see who's great with their mouth but sure Paolo Costa has the power but for sure Strickland will have the advantage with the striking.


WOW! Paolo Costa is a Crypto Enthusiast! well that was great for sure he is the man who represents us as a community, but even though he is a Bitcoin holder I have never been a fan of Paolo Costa maybe change his career to be a celebrity and a full-time Bitcoin Enthusiast and stop his MMA career right now as I think he doesn't have a future or I never seeing him becoming a champion at all.

Well, At the end of the day, this is all just money and you are right Conor McGregor is not hungry for winning anymore but is hungry just getting the money and this is just boring for us but for the fans of both McGregor and Chandler they wanted this and to watch this that is why we can not understand it because they are some follower for me blind followers perhaps but yeah it was all for the money and yeah even if this fight was just going to bore us it will still mark an etch in the history of the MMA that is for sure.


That is for sure but right now I really don't recognize Conor McGregor as a fighter anymore but more of a clown who just wanted the masses' approval because he certainly has many fans he still got the head of the UFC Dana White's approval and this fight that he wants he got it anyway just because he got so many fans and that he is the hype king for sure we can not take that name on him because that is who he is but well because of this even UFC will have a bunch of money coming just from this 1 fight or 1 event.

It was really amazing he was really on fire and you can see that he really wants to win this season and the championship is in his grasp even though Pascal Siakam was getting his great game the Indiana Pacers revolves their team play on Tyrese Haliburton's execution play but right now the defense and offense of the New York Knicks was really incredible at the moment, the turnover was not really looking good for the Indiana Pacers then have forgotten that the New York Knicks was capable of blocking and stealing let's say that the Indiana Pacers have gotten their grip on the last minute but it was not enough.


It was not a smart idea to copy Coach Erik Spoelstra's last season's strategy because the Denver Nuggets have already got an answer to that, while that strategy will only work if Rudy Gobert is fast and nibble he can not keep up with Jokic's at all that is why it was really a terrible strategy to place all ball and let Nikola Jokic take the shot while the Timberwolves Anthony Edwards has been defended by the Denver Nuggets easily and he couldn't do his thing and they can not also put their trust on Edwards if he can not do anything while in this position Coach Malone did very well and I think his experience with the championship has finally gotten a good grip over him.

What I think is that right now Tyrese Haliburton is not 100% although he did great with this 2nd game he is just pushing very hard and if he is not the game-maker he is pushing too hard right now but the New York Knicks right now is having a breeze with their team play OG Anunoby, Donte DiVincenzo, and Jalen Brunson is doing great with their scoring while Josh Hart and Isaiah Hartenstein are doing a great job with the defense and providing some extra score for the team, while the Indiana Pacers if they can not make this work they will not have any chance at all,

While I think that the Pacers still have a chance of getting a win and that if the New York Knicks strategy crumbles that is the time the Indiana Pacers could get a win.


There are many who are saying that the resemblance is uncanny to the GOAT and many are saying that the 2nd coming of MJ is here in the form of Anthony Edwards from their appearance to their play style and how they are getting good vibes in the court it is just that great while for sure the success of the Minnesota Timberwolves is not just because of Anthony Edwards alone he surely has the support of Karl-Anthony Towns, Naz Reid, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and even Mike Conley Jr. for sure.

Yup! he is still interested in the belt and in winning against Jonathan Martinez he surely got a lot of confidence As for how old he is compared to Martinez I really think he is surging with confidence and looking forward to beating guys younger than him and guys that are in the top rank for sure but still doubting if he can really get the belt but I will surely watch his performance for sure.


This is really Disgusting as Dana White has his gambling addiction on Football games while Movsar Evloev is having his fight for sure maybe Dana White's fashion for MMA was gone but this is really disrespectful to Movsar Evloev and the president of the UFC should resign if he doesn't want to give his attention to certain fight like this while Movsar Evloev is a really great fighter and saying that it was a boring fight while he is not really paying any attention I was really boiling while watching this and that certainly something that UFC needs to focus with it.

I am more confused actually why some fans still want to see Conor McGregor fight inside the octagon I rather see Jose Aldo and even Derrick Lewis inside the octagon than Conor McGregor but for sure Conor McGregor is the hype king and we can not take it out on him as many people want to see his antics and because of that he is beloved by his fans it could be negative for people like us but some people Conor McGregor is a definition of a not boring fighter for them.


Doing this I really don't know if some fans will likely forget about Jon Jones because of the time of his absence but we all know that we have defeated Cyril Gane after his long break from the UFC so maybe he will likely do it again, actually, I am not a fan of Jon Jones and surely that fight against Ciryl Gane that is the 1st fight that I have seen him or the fight that I have known him since my interest in the MMA world so yeah it is not that great and it is OK for me if he would not really return in the UFC and make Tom Aspinall the real champion.


Those thin chicken legs, but for sure he will change his appearance depending on the things he does, and if he does not return soon enough maybe his fans will forget about him, or maybe not, but yeah even with his long break there are still fans that wants to see him fight inside te octagon.

I thought he had already quit and wanted to retire but again he has a fighter soul ready to take on any challenge after that Fiasco he did against Jailton Almeida by not moving and not retaliating against Jailton Almeida's position for sure there is a good reason behind that because we all know he doesn't want to gas out because of Jailton Almeida's pressure from the ground but it was one of the boring fights where both don't really do anything other than staying down, which fans don't wanted to see, for me I don't want to see that fight again.


Yep! This could be a walk in the park for Derrick Lewis and Rodrigo Nascimento is not that special to me he doesn't have that strong punching power, and I don't see him having much ground game or some takedown defense for sure this fight could also become a brawl and Derrick Lewis will be the lethal one inside the octagon if these two meet, but I think Derrick Lewis could think this through and could make up with a fast knock out, but I will still do some little research for this fight to make my final analysis.


For sure a lot of fans that want that fight means a lot of money that fight will rack up for Jose Aldo needs to increase his weight as this is going to be for Conor McGregor again, as McGregor now has a different weight than before if Jose Aldo could not meet that expectation then I think McGregor VS Chandler is still a good shot, I think because of the Age of Aldo now he will have a difficult time adjusting to that weight class.

That is likely to happen in Koln and Darmstadt they can not recover anymore while Mainz still has a chance to take the spot again in the Bundesliga 1st division, and not only this season we will have a new champion and because Bayern Munich right now can not do a thing about it as the points difference was enormous for the Leverkusen it was 84 to Bayern Munich's 69 it was really a shame for the defending champion but this season we got a new champion in the Bundesliga.


For sure it is really hard for a team in the 2nd division to get into the 1st division as many teams would want to get into the 1st division and if a team would likely get regulated then that team will need to get back into the hardship once again, but I really feel sorry for the Bayern Munich but for me it is good that we have a new Champion team but learning the truth that Bayern Munich is pretty much not the defending champion next season.

It was really shady picking Steve Erceg they could have picked Kai Kara-France or Muhammad Mokaev but have gone with a Ranked 10th fighter for sure it was all hand-picked but it was wrong to hand-picked for them because Erceg has shown great promise and I could say from watching his performance he got a bright future on the UFC even if he can not become a champion as I think Muhammad Mokaev could take that position he could be in the higher rank for sure now I doubt the legitimacy of the UFC 301 I really think it was meant for Mexican people's fan service.


I was really shocked and impressed with Jose Aldo what did there definitely is an improvement in his boxing and striking and I was really ashamed for not seeing it I haven't looked even further at what he is capable of now and maybe because I was busy for certain weeks and away on the forum that I haven't got any news about what is happening to the UFC well, it was a family trip so yeah, but then after seeing Jose Aldo now I think he have improved but still doubting if he can really take on the belt.


Yes, a few people not including myself because I bet for Martinez but do you hear Jose Aldo's Ring interview? He said that this is not his last fight and he could go and get the belt to be the Champion, he is taking the risk and going for it and becoming the champion for sure I think that he meant something and he will do it here is the clip.

Here are the results of the 2 games for the NBA I was surprised 2 of my bets failed but the semi-finals are still starting and for me, there is still a chance for the other teams to win.

New York Knicks VS Indiana Pacers - LOST

It was a close game between these two teams and so many Knicks because Jalen Brunson did well, while we can see that Tyrese Haliburton is not performing well maybe because of his injuries, Pascal Siakam, T.J. Mc Connell and Myles Turner have eventually progressed with their performance that the Indiana Pacers makes the game so much close while Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, OG Anunoby, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Jalen Brunson was pushing further the score and taking the lead the pacers have established but the New York Knicks have eventually taken the lead it was a close game and a lost for me.

Denver Nuggets VS Minnesota Timberwolves - LOST

I was in disbelief seeing how the Minnesota Timberwolves were crushing the Defending Champion the Denver Nuggets it was horrible Jamal Murray was stopped with 13 rebounds 2 assists and 8 points while Nikola Jokic with 16 rebounds, 8 assists, and 16 points stopping the 2 Giants of the team because of the strong defense of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the 3 point shooting of Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards remarkable play through it was really those key component that the Minnesota Timberwolves win this game and for the Denver Nuggets committing so much turnover.

It is huge money for sure and these two surely love that and yes that fight will be an exhibition for sure well just because Conor McGregor is not really a boxer but he can box, and with this post of Ryan Garcia for sure this kind of post is for hype purposes and for fans to make more talk or for sponsors to be interested, this surely is just for hype but an intricate kind of thing. for me, this is another kind of fight that will be one-sided honestly.


This is not sure if the fight will take place or manifest as they are just teasing something to happen but for now, I will not put my hopes up as you all know this might be another 1 sided fight as we all know Conor McGregor lost to Mayweather but as we don't know if he is a different fighter right now but as of today Ryan Garcia is more bulkier now defeating Devin Haney but I think Ryan Garcia missed the weight and fighting Haney with a heavier weight and being positive in using performance-enhancing drugs.

For me, there is still not a 100% assurance that these two will fight after Conor McGregor twitted and this is what he said


After that Ryan Garcia got his fingers typing something for Conor McGregor and the rest is history for sure Conor McGregor has gotten the name of O'Malley so sure let's wait if Sean O'Malley will say something about this aswell as all three of them has a huge mouth and for sure will not stop in spouting something.

The NBA playoffs are getting more exciting as time goes by and after the Celtics defeated the Heat and the Cavaliers defeated the Magic, the Game between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers in the semi-finals is on its way, Pacers and Knicks defeating The Bucks and 76ers and Indiana Pacers VS New York Knicks are facing at the Semi, and Thunders and Mavericks defeated the Pelicans and Clippers getting into the finals with Oklahoma City Thunders VS Dallas Mavericks game is on its way and lastly the Timberwolves and Nuggets winning against the Suns and Lakers and so the Minnesota Timberwolves VS Phoenix Suns going into the semi-finals and tomorrow we will be having 2 games

New York Knicks VS Indiana Pacers

Right now Bojan Bogdanovic and Julius Randle are both out of this season Charlie Brown and Duane Washington Jr. can not play in this game Bennedict Mathurin is out for this season and Tyrese Haliburton is questionable if he can play for this game my take I think that the New York Knicks still has a chance but if Tyrese Haliburton can play for the Indiana Pacers they could have a higher chance, and for me, it is pretty much hard to make a bet for this game but I like the way the Indiana Pacers perform and how Tyrese Haliburton is making this team great with his play so I may go with the Indiana Pacers.

Denver Nuggets VS Minnesota Timberwolves

I think it is OK even though they don't have Collin Gillespie and Vlatko Cancar because they are out of this season but if Jamal Murray can not play for the team that is a bigger problem while Anthony Edwards is racking in like it was nothing getting the team into a win on this two teams 1st meeting now that the 2nd game will commence this is hard for me or I could be wrong with this but I think that the Denver Nuggets will provide a win on the next game so my take I think that the Denver Nuggets will win this.

That Aldo Fight was really incredible and I am never imaging that Jose Aldo still had it in him and that Jonathan Martinez was not on par with his level of caliber I surely learned the hard way that Jose Aldo is still a great striker and he has shown it in the UFC 301 when he beat a younger fighter with his great boxing performance for sure he is one of the great UFC fighters that has a high caliber with his striking and now 1 of the legends in the industry it was shown in his fight with Martinez is accuracy and precision in getting those strikes whenever it is a striking punch or kicks it mostly land on target.

---

UFC 301 was really interesting from the Main Event to the Co-Main and I have bet for both fights but it appears it was really a weird choice for me here are the results

Alexandre Pantoja VS Steve Erceg WON (but not happy with the performance of Pantoja)

I have bet for Alexandre Pantoja but it looks like Steve Erceg was on Par with Pantoja or even more because his striking was really working on Pantoja because of Alexandre Pantokja's cut it was a bad cut for Alexandre Pantoja but the referee is just really ignoring it and letting the fight continue surely they don't want the Mexican community to get upset if Pantoja lost that time and even though I believe and bet on Alexandre Pantoja I was certain that Steve Erceg should have won this one.

Jonathan Martinez VS José Aldo LOST

Now! I might have given so much credit to Jonathan Martinez and I especially have some bets over him, but I never imagined that Jose Aldo to still be this good it was like he never had some year break, or just like I have said I have just given Martinez too much credit because of their age difference, as some older fighter can still manage to give it their 101% inside the octagon but is training and sparring more diligently as we knew they are doing.

It is a strange result of what happened with the fights it seems like there is a bias with the Main event but the Co-main event was won by Jose Aldo Smoothly

Alexandre Pantoja VS Steve Erceg

It seems that Steve Erceg is something Alexandre Pantoja's nightmare it was a close match but a very controversial match just because the champion was fighting on his home turf the judges will get the scoring incorrect that is right I have said that Alexander Pantoja could win this one but apparently I was wrong he surely wins but what I saw was a complete robbery as Pantoja does have a cut this means that Steve Erceg really is something not to take lightly and that he has an effective striking than Pantoja and not only that I saw some slick grappling from Alexandre Pantoja and even though Erceg does not win this fight for me he is great and in the future, he might get this belt next.

Jonathan Martinez VS José Aldo

That was still a master-class performance for Jose Aldo and I was really wrong about him Jonathan Martinez is still a Newbie and needs a real beating and I think it is a good thing that Aldo was the one he is fighting as fighting Jose Aldo can surely make him increase in experience with the striking as just like what happens with Marlon Vera for sure those accurate striking and accurate kicks were too nasty for Jonathan Martinez and I admit I was really wrong with this but Jose Aldo reaching the belt that is what I am doubting to happen.

I didn't know that Jose Aldo was really active in some boxing matches and against Dvalishvili, but still, I am not changing my take that Jonathan Martinez can win this because for me it is still different to be active inside the octagon and with the sparring but I believe it that an older fighter really needs to unwind or rejuvenate themselves get the best possible version of themselves but for me, I still think it will depend but after seeing your take on this maybe there is a part of me that was leaning on Jose Aldo because for sure he is a better striker because of this boxing.

Now here are my thoughts on who's what I think will win and what may happen with the fight.

Alexandre Pantoja VS Steve Erceg

My thoughts on this fight I think that Steve Erceg never fought someone this good and that good is actually Pantoja for sure there is value in the odds that Alexander Pantoja has in this fight his grappling is really insane that messing Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval with their strategy even though Steve Erceg had a good takedown defense but for me, it hasn't been tested yet and Alexander Pantoja is a great source to test his takedown defense for sure and I really think he never has faced a grappler like Pantoja so for me I Lean on Alexander Pantoja in this fight I really think he is a better grappler and striker than Steve Erceg.

Jonathan Martinez VS José Aldo

Is there a possibility that Jose Aldo would use enhanced drugs we can all agree that USADA is not around so there could be a possibility he could use that to his advantage but for sure Jonathan Martinez is younger than Aldo anything as he is still learning to fighter and he can surely improve in this fight as many have also improved while fighting Jose Aldo but for sure even though Jose Aldo has a better striking than Martinez I still think that Jonathan Martinez might still get this I really think he is faster than Aldo now.

For sure Diego Lopez got approval from Dana White so why is Dana White letting this happen, for sure Diego Lopez deserves better and not this kind of treatment there is no one that got hurt in the process while Arman Tsarukyan is the one that has hurt a fan for sure that fan will surely want something from their favorite fighter sometimes they get too excited that they doesn't know what have they done and a UFC fighters fist is pretty much lethal so they are not allowed to swing it around like that.


What I think about this, is despite MMA being their fashion or they really like MMA more than just boxing, there is also a technicality when it comes to MMA and boxing so money doesn't matter at all or MMA is what they really want and like Michael Bisping has said there is a huge chance to get a head concussion in Boxing than with the UFC as we got rules that prohibited from damaging the head that much, than with UFC that will immediately stop the fight when the referee could see that the other fighter will get annihilated by the other one.


I doubt Jose Aldo can win against Jonathan Martinez for me the younger fighter had a huge chance of winning this but for me, if Aldo can get a chance to win this then I think this is a good setup for him to retire with a great win but for me, I am really doubting Aldo to win this as I have bet for Jonathan Martinez for sure.

I think that the fight Michel Pereira VS Ihor Potieria and Caio Borralho VS Paul Craig will be a great fight for sure as for me Michel Pereira and Caio Borralho both have huge chance in winning their fight in my opinion.

A win for the Indiana Pacers and it was all over for the Milwaukee Bucks in their last game the Bucks were really smooth without Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo and it was a convincing game for them but when Dame time decided to play it was all in ruins as he wants to carry the team in his back but what is happening was vice versa as it is a good team work with Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis Jr. making it rain heavy then a mix of Brook Lopez for defense Malik Beasley for countermeasures while Patrick Beverley is a good addition for the team play and additional support, but if Dame time would play it was all ruined play. While The Knicks VS Sixers was an interesting game and the New York Knicks have won it all leaving the Philadelphia 76ers on the back.


For sure if Giannis was there and they let Damian Lillard sit this one I really think that Damian Lillard doesn't have coordination with the team but I really don't want to put it like that I think Damian Lillard still doesn't have experience with this team when it comes to playing in the playoffs, this is what I think about the Bucks but they already fell and will not commencing into the Semi's while congrats to the Pacers and the Knicks they will heading for a much challenging game ahead.

Caio Machado is just weird when he punches it was like he didn't make a sparring session or train for the standing because he was there and just throwing those punches and hoping it landed while Don'Tale Mayes's overhead punch sure got a large swing but it was really accurate to the face of Caio Machado it was a slow face fight because you can see that Don'Tale Mayes punches are not that hard for a Heavyweight but he surely got the accuracy.

The case of Diego Lopes was really weird in my opinion the kid doesn't deserve something like that and Dana White needs to do something about this as Diego Lopes might get the wrong idea in going out over of the octagon to talk to Dana White they should have just taken this as a warning and not take his purse and announce it that the offense for getting over the fence will withheld of their purse.


It sure doesn't make any sense at all with this kind of offense in those kinds of situations and I think that Diego Lopes does not do anything wrong at all but they still will give the verdict to him for climbing up the fence. well, for me I would like the management not to get his purse and take this as just a warning for future UFC fights.

It was during that time when Arman Tsarukyan and Diego Lopez both withheld their purse and the UFC 300 Repercussion continued as both might get Disiplined because of their act Arman Tsarukyan should be held accountable even though the fan was a bit negative towards him he should withheld it to himself as it is part of this industries ups and downs there will be a fan that will like and dislike you so you need to keep it down low, while for me Diego Lopez might have gotten a bigger offense for just climbing up the fence and going over it while there is no audience that was hurt Diego Lopez is a newly fighter and he badly needed that money to pay for his trainers and is camp for me it is not fair for him to have the same punishment.


For me, it will depend if he can still fight inside the octagon which I think he can not anymore I really think he can feel it inside him even though Arlovski is 45 and is just 44 it depends if a fighter can still perform which I really doubted him doing that last fight against Jiří Procházka that was the last time we could see Glover Texeira still got it on him but right now time have already taken toll on him.
