How do you know that? Did you read that somewhere? Would you say the same thing if Tito Ortiz had won? I'm not sure about that. Anderson Silva was the huge favorite of this fight at every bookmakers and for almost all people enjoying boxing and MMA IMO. Then he just won because he was better than Ortiz. That's it, there is no need to disrespect his undeniable victory.  

Only heavyweight in UFC don't have to care about their weight and they can eat and drink whatever they want before fight, just look at that fat beast Derrick Lewis

Bellator is back this weekend with big fight Bellator 266 Davis vs Romero!
We can finally see Yoel Romero debut in Bellator after coming from two loses in UFC and two canceled fights in Bellator.
Romero is much older and slower than Davis who has 5.5 inch advantage in this fight, and this fight might be more interesting than main event in UFC.

Hard to believe that this all was only due to a denial to make a damn photo. Money spoiled McGregor. I think he thinks that a man with money can not get a denial.

I can make a rude joke. McGregor is so bad at striking that the only one he can punch are old people. It is no use to make a fourth fight against Poirier He wont even hit him.

but in my case, I am still researching and looking at some Ryan Spann fights and looking at his Tatoo Superman on his chest that really indicate fear, maybe not to his opponent but the people watching him fight.

I also don't think that it's fixed fight. Ortiz is no way in the level of Anderson Silva as far as boxing techniques is concern. The difference in this training is very evident, and Ortiz choose to be the aggressor in the fight by coming inside. I thought that Silva's plan was to tire out Ortiz that's why he let him jab him in the beginning. But then when a knock out presents itself, next thing you know Ortiz is lying in the canvass.

The majority of the fighters cut weight to 155 pound division as the divsion above them is 170 pounds and it is a huge gap between weight division and some of the fighters does not fit in the 170 pound and another is 185 pound.

Either they need to add another division between weight classes, after 155 pound division they should add 165 pound and the Welterweight should be 175 pound and if that happens then we might not see these huge weight cutting issues.

For example, Rafael dos Anjos is not a natural 170 pound fighter, since he does not want to stress him body to cut down at 155 pound he is forced to fight at 170 pounds and there are many examples we can cite.

I am sure having doubts aswell for Pereira if he is able to be on the top five in a short span of time as well, and you are right we surely don't need to expect something big about him when he is just starting into UFC,

And the thing is why I am talking about Alex Pereira, is it because he is new to UFC, and I surely am curious about what he may do and what he may show us, and because of the Contender series of Dana White I am into the newbie's now and what they can show us moving forward into the future of UFC.

Using dehydration as a form of weight cutting can cause some serious problems. We have seen fighters facing lots of health issues because of this weight-cutting method. And when the human body doesn't get enough water it collapses. That's why we see some fighters collapse during weight cutting. And trust me I still don't know how they take their shorts off and meet the weight they need to make. Not like the shots are about kilograms in weight.

There are different transitions for every fighter switching careers not all people could be as good as Anderson Silva from boxing to the UFC but we can never know until Alex Pereira would simply know what he is doing inside the ring and as a kickboxer, I think he has established his striking very well but he can surely add wrestling into the mix well it is up to a fighter if he would go that route or just stick in plain striking, let's just wait when he fights inside the ring.

It is not that easy as it is said, to add wrestling at a later stage in career will not be easy, if so everyone would be transitioning well who has a striking background, they would spend time wrestling and they will be the best. There are some fighters like GSP who had a striking background but he is known for his wrestling skills inside the MMA community because he was quick to learn them and implement them against the best wrestlers but you cannot expect everyone to be like GSP.

The best they can do is basic takedown defense and if you are against elite wrestlers like Khabib it wont work either.

They have one more advantage in ONE championship compared with UFC, Bellator and other organizations, there is no typical weight cutting and everyone fights at their real weight.
They are measuring only water in your body so you must be hydrated correctly, and not lose weight with dehydration like bodybuilders and other mma fighters that collapse sometimes.
Most of weight cutting is something like cheating anyway, we see some fighters gain so much weight after weight-ins and they look huge after that.

This is boxing, not the sport that they master, so I would not expect a KO rather, and at their age, I doubt they will still be as aggressive as they were, they will give a little entertainment and they go home with the money they expected, that's it. This fight is just for fun, and in order to be entertaining, thy should keep boxing while ensuring that no one will be hurt seriously.

Big news for UFC and middleweight category is that kickboxing champion Alex Pereira signed a deal with UFC!
He is 34 years old coming from Brazil and his first UFC fight will be in November against Andreas Michailidis in UFC 268 Usman vs Covington 2.
This fight card is going to be epic with more fights like Rose Namajunas vs Weili Zhang, Justin Gaethje vs Michael Chandler, Al Iaquinta vs Bobby Green and others.
I knew UFC was looking for fresh blood in middleweight division to challenge Adesanya, so they are looking in all directions now, but I am not sure if Pereira will be good enough.

That Sidekick to the knee is really not new, there are other fighters that are executing such kicks you surely haven't notice it because now there is a bad injury and for Modestas Bukauskas, a lot are saying that this is a career-ending injury but in my opinion, it is a bad injury but there is still a percentage of returning back, many are doing this example is with the Robert Whittaker VS Israel Adesanya fight when Whittaker throw it but Adesanya evade it then counter with a high kick, notice how fast Adesanya execute that high kick that is because when this sidekick failed to be executed there is a lot of opportunities for the opponent to counter,

So my take on this kind of technique that many people want to ban, I really don't agree to ban this kick, I think if you ban this kick then ban a strike or attack that will cause brain damage that can be life-threatening for a fighter an injury to the shoulder, back, neck or strike to the vitals punches and kicks to the neck should also be ban in the UFC that can cause serious damage and can even potentially end a life, well just my opinion.
