I think the meta on Ankalaev has changed after seeing how he fought Johnny Walker twice.  Lol.  It wasn't the slow starter what we got used to.  And Pereira himself isn't a pressure fighter too.  He'll start slow vs a guy like Ankalaev who could either get a quick TD or even get KO.  Pereira is low key chinny.


Then I want to see that fight for sure If Magomed Ankalaev is like that then he surely gets a chance against Alex Pereira and it is sure a great time to showcase what he has learned from Glover Texeira sure all Alex Pereira needs to do to enhance his wrestling defense which we can see against the level of wrestling of Magomed Ankalaev, or maybe Ankalaev will take him in a good standing match I am really excited about this because I really think this is the 1st time Alex Pereira's takedown defense will be tested.


I am definitely not interested about the UFC 301. Especially compared to the last UFC event, I mean UFC 300, this UFC 301 is not going to be more interesting. Actually, this next UFC event, UFC 301 is actually not going to be even 50% interesting as the last one was. Maybe I am wrong and maybe it is just a personal bias because I was really interested to see Alex Pereira, Charles Oliver, Max Holloway, Justin Gaethje, etc. maybe other people will find the next UFC event interesting.

For sure that is your opinion as the fighters for that event are not that well-known some are old and for sure need to retire for good, but for a true MMA fan I am still interested in every detail of the fight, for me Alexandre Pantoja is an exciting fighter, he could not have an interesting finish in becoming a Champion that sick grappling and still is still good in his division for sure in this division you will definitely be needing a lot of IQ in winning as some fighters are very nibble for you to take down or knockout.

Do you really think that Aldo is still able to do same magic with his legs as he used to ? Martinez imho is not kid for beating. 19-4 and series of 6 wins. Against guy who retired 1.5 years ago and is not in his prime for a long time. Bookies see Martinez as a favourite in this fight. Dunno if this Aldo still has ambitious to give everything in the octagon. What if he wins, what would he do next? Continue mma fighting? Join belt race?

A younger nibble Jonathan Martinez is likely to have the upper hand but for the magic that you are expecting Jose Aldo might have something off his sleeves for his hometown to watch of him 1 last time but I am doubting if he can make a miracle out of this and many are expecting that Jonathan Martinez would surely win this as we all know his fight against Said Nurmagomedov and Adrian Yanez so for sure Jose Aldo will have a hard time against him.

Orlando couldn't dominate Cleveland in the first two games of the series, but in the third game they exploded at home and took the series with a spectacular win. If Orlando wants to keep their hopes alive, they need to win today's game. Both teams are mediocre away from home, but very good at home. If Orlando struggled a bit in the fourth game, I might change my mind about the series, but since they had a comfortable win in the third game, I think they will win the fourth game as well. Cleveland won't play a bad game, of course, but Orlando is likely to tie the series as they will play this game at home.

The Orlando Magic have seen a slight advantage over Cleveland and only in this game but for sure the Cleveland Cavaliers will make some adjustments now that their strategy has been revealed to them for sure Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs were the ones who have been very active in this game and right now the Orlando Magic could have tied this game but still, the game can still go and still favor the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I do not think that Lebron has anything to prove, not to me at the very least. You can make all the MJ and Kobe type of comparisons and anything you want, and I loved Kobe, the only jersey that I ever owned was Kobe jersey, so you could make any argument you want, but this dude broke over 40k, while being a top five passer ever, and he had one of the most clutch defensive plays in history of basketball as well.

So, you could argue whatever you want, for me he is up there and while he may not have that "fighter" style of mentality or "mamba" mentality, that doesn't mean that he was bad, we have seen him win 4 rings like that, which means imagine if this is relaxed and "not mamba mentality" Lebron, then what could he have been with mamba mentality? Score 50k and have 20k assists and 20k rebounds? Dude is a beast, let him be, he is 38 or 39 now, he could just straight up lose, Kobe was already retired, and MJ was playing for a shitty Wizards team by that point, Lebron is leading a Lakers team to playoffs.

I am really sad about what is happening with Lebron James right now the Nuggets are killing the Los Angeles Lakers in the 3rd game, and it was another win for the Denver Nuggets,  but I really want another win for Lebron and this time having him played with his son and getting another ring this season but for this, it is not the case This could be the End of The Lebron James Era, but let's just wait on what will happen and what will be escalated.

The bad thing about upcoming events is that there will always be comparisons with past events. But this card has everything to have great fights! Looking forward to the next numbered cards!

I guess you are still not late for the latest events that we got although I really don't think comparing the previous events to the events now would be a great idea and I don't really see the point, in doing such a thing, which it is not necessarily but the latest event now is not that great in my opinion but it is also not that lousy as I think that there are some fights in this card that are interesting from the main event to the Co-Main it will be interesting to watch for sure there will be a fight that will have a great ending some knockouts or submission.



BREAKING NEWS

It seems that Diego Lopes's payment for the UFC 300 was withheld by the Nevada State Athletic Commission or NSAC for stepping out of the ring by climbing it talking to Dana White then returning back up to the ring again which is ridiculous in my opinion sure I really think that this should be not a big deal at all as there is no one that got hurt only Sodiq Yusuff when Diego Lopes knocks him out but Arman Tsarukyan might also get his purse withheld and even had the possibility to be suspended and get ban in the sports which I think got the point because he punches a fan on the walkout but for Diego Lopes to have his purse be held like that is really ridiculous this kid is just making his name and I think that he needs that money to pay all of his debts from his trainer and teams that help him win the fight for me this is really ridiculous.

I haven't checked this thread for a week or two and I missed the announcement of McGregor vs Chandler fight. I accidentally discovered a video about it today on Youtube and I was kinda surprised. It was already visible from 30 second that something exciting (for Dana White) was about to be announced, he can't hide his wicked smile, he can't hide his love for money. This smile directly told me that Conor's and Chandler's was about to happen.
Here is the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h76WONPAYA&t=30s

By the way, I think that Conor is washed up. A drug addict that wants to return to the MMA, that doesn't happen. He hasn't been consistent since he fought Floyd.

I don't see anyone interested in fighting Pereira at LHW either.

Absolutely everyone in the light heavyweight would love to fight him.
I have to agree with it, absolutely everyone would love to see his fight, he is amazing!

Atleast you still are not that late to know that Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler will be having something like this for sure Dana White is excited and announcing this to the public he can not hide his bias for money, for sure he is expecting this fight to make huge revenue for the UFC and for me, he is not wrong about it as this is expected to have a huge pay per view for sure I will not be surprised if after this fight there could be another like this, but it will depend on the two fighters performance.

I agree Conor McGregor could be a washed-up fighter but what if the drug will give him a strength boost that would be insane for Michael Chandler who is now catching up in weight but still has an amount of time to make it this could be a great fight or a something McGregor will regret aswell as it could ruin his career.


Wups really?  Lol.  I think Ankalaev can't wait to get his hands on Pereira.  The guy couldn't defend a TD even if his momma depended on it.  I think Ankalaev will mop the floor with Pereira and I really hope the books will get it wrong and line Ankalaev as a huge underdog now that everybody is convinced that Pereira is like the second coming or something.  

As for the coming event, from a betting perspective I like Austin Hubbard at 2.33, Medic and Nicolau parlay at 2.00 and thinking about if I gamble on Guskov at 2.50.

Edit:  Here's a fight replay.

Perez vs Formiga
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRTVayIIWag

If Magomed Ankalaev had not gone with the wrestling immediately that fight could have favored Alex Pereira as we all know Magomed Ankalaev wants to start slow and he would surely get his momentum with the striking first which is Alex Pereira's playing field, we could say that it is Pereira's Bread and Butter but if Magomed Ankalaev would immediately go beyond that and finish this fight with wrestling this could be his win, but as Alex Pereira now has trained with his ground game this is still going to be an interesting fight to see as anything can surely happen if this two fights.

Yeah, they played really well in the first half of the game, and then the 2nd half too, they owned the Denver Nuggets at every possible way from defense to offense but they missed so many shots and were not able to protect their lead while Jokic and the Nuggets crew took advantage of that. There was even a time when Lebron shouldered it all from blocking shots to making threes just so they could still have the lead. 89-81 was the last strong lead but again, it was not preserved.
I give credit to the Nuggets too, they were never frustrated about what was happening and they kept on fighting even on that 20-point lead.

Today, Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and the whole Mavs roster are rejoicing for stealing one win in the home of the Clippers. That's big! Kyrie knew it and he said it in the post-game interview. He knew how difficult it would be to recover from a 2-0 lead and he knew the statistics. I love that new Kyrie without dramas.

The Los Angeles Lakers lost their grip in the 2nd half of the game it was really unexpected but it surely happens in different games aswell, and it can not be helped as the Los Angeles Lakers stopped their momentum when they needed the win the most as the Denver Nuggets now have 2 leads for this game if they can not bounce back next game this will be the same as the last play-offs where the Los Angeles Lakers drop and never make it into the Semi-Finals.

I think the Celtics probably take this series over the Heat easily and tonight should be another step towards that. Nothing too surprising expected there. The New Orleans game should be a little more interesting, as that team should be rested finally after the play-in tournament. No Zion and an angry BI makes it a tough road ahead for them though.

Well, the Miami Heat advance this time, and the Boston Celtics are doing great at the start of the game but until the Miami Heat have leveled the playing field for sure they have already known how they can manage to get into the defense of the Boston Celtics, as both teams have limited players to begin with, although Jimmy Butler in not playing this game it was the efforts of Bam Adebayo, Caleb Martin and Tyler Herro that have made it possible winning this game with a 10 points advantage


Yes, the number of three-point attempts and makes by the Heat in this game is impressive. On the one hand, I'm surprised that the Heat without Butler were able to tie the series against the Celtics. On the other hand, even before the playoffs, there was speculation that the Heat could be a nasty surprise for their playoff opponents, and the result of this game confirms it.

It was an incredible performance for the Miami Heat they got 53.5% shooting beyond the arc while the Boston Celtics only got 37.5% Shooting Percentage it was really the 3-point shooting that the Miami Heat managed to win against the Boston Celtics.

Wrong, they are not on the same stable, Canelo has left Golden Boy Promotions years ago, and that's why Oscar is very salty of Canelo for leaving him. And as being promoted, Oscar wanted to get back at Canelo, and he wants his new prodigy, Jaime Munguia to beat Canelo here.

I really like Jaime Munguia this kid has a future and right now those punches of Jaime Munguia are really something that kind of reminded me of how Pacquiao is still starting and while Canelo has cut ties with the Golden Boy Production there is a new favorite for Oscar in picking some apple that has fallen from the same tree for sure all eh love to see the destruction of Canelo for sure.

Yes, because Canelo and Munguia shows mutual respect. That's why it was Oscar who are promoting this fight to have that kind of storyboard for him. Munguia. Oscar even said that he will beat Canelo in his prime. And just like I said, he is reigniting their so called feud to make the fans more interested to see this fight.

For sure that hype was part of the manipulation and for a fight to be reignited like this it could be a good thing because there are now many people who want to see that fight who would not want to witness such a spectacle for sure many boxing fans would love to see that fight and for sure there will be more people that will be stocking up with Jaime Munguia side and many will certainly want that to happen.

Quote from: Z-tight link=topic=1159912.msg63814656#msg63814656
It is looking that way right now, but i will wait until it is over before i celebrate, whenever i remember how Dortmund failed to win the title on the last day of last season, it reminds me that we have to wait until is over to be certain of who is going to win the title. I know that Leverkusen's position this season is different to that of Dortmund last season, Xabi Alonso's team has a huge advantage and it would be a great shock if they fail to win the title, and i hope they win it.

It was a 14 points difference for Leverkusen to be the new champion in this Bundesliga season, while we are now in Matchday 31 I already can say that it is over for Bayern Munich right now I really think that Thomas Tuchel has already given up in this season as Bayern Munich has already taken a lot of losses against Dortmund and Heidenheim while they are badly needing a win because Leverkusen is not having a shakedown with their winnings and not having a lose is something to be amazing in this season for me I think that Leverkusen can really claim the championship this season.

It was such a huge win by Leipzig yesterday and now the pressure is over Dortmund this week. The reason why is this win has pushed Dortmund out of top four in the standings.

I can't say Dortmund have an easy job to do this week. Their game is against Frankfurt home. Dortmund players have returned from a Champions League game you know. There might be some fatigue among the players. Dortmund are still the favourite but I wouldn't make any bet on their win this time. I'm not doing it often as well because of the unconvincing look of Dortmund. Maybe both teams to score could be a nice choice for this one @1.56.

I really like it when Leipzig surprises me this much and right now Leipzig is getting in 4th place is something wonderful and want to see them in the Top 3 or even the 2nd place but the 4th place is a good enough spot,  that wins against Heidenheim was a good enough win but having a draw against Mainz is something that I was really surprised about but again getting in the 4th spot is something great already but I wanted to see them making the 3rd spot for the last matchday of the Bundesliga.


I think Dortmund will hand Leverkusen their first defeat of the season. That would really hurt because there would only be 5 games left at that point. In fact, whatever the result will not change the fact that Leverkusen is the Bundesliga champion this season. But ending the league as champions with an unbeaten record would be history that will never be forgotten in football. I'm sure Alonso is also motivated to get an unbeaten record. Currently there are 4 matches left and there are several strong teams they will face. I think VfB and Frankfurt will be a challenge for them to maintain their unbeaten record.

It was really imminent right now that Leverkusen would win this Season while Bayern Munich had suffered their loss at the hands of Leverkusen and the coach Xavi Alonso who was a recent senior member of Bayern Munich back in the year 2014–2017 Bundesliga, I really don't know if Xavi Alonso will change his Coaching team from Leverkusen to Bayern Munich or if he will be staying at Leverkusen to still keep the dominance with the Leverkusen team.

I also think that Pereira would have lots of troubles against Aspinall. The level of wrestling and bjj or Pereira is not so high to stop Aspinall. Even knowing that Pereira cut some weight to fit in light heavy (omg how did he fit in middleweight then?), he wont have enough weight on the ground to counter power of Tom. This might be a big mistake if Pereira would still rely on a power of his left hook or overhand. Heavyweight guys can survive some of his punches and get him to ground, where it will be difficult for him to get away.

Just my two cents, Pereira should know where to stop. Jumping from division to division to get more belts is a good wish, respectful. But among heavyweight there way to big and experienced guy. It is light heavyweight division that looks strange. Where there are no obvious dominant fighter. Among heavyweight guys, there is nothing for him to catch.

For now, Alex Pereira doesn't have any trouble with the guys that have a Khabib Nurmagomedov level of wrestling we can all say that Sean Strickland, Israel Adesanya, Jiří Procházka, or Jamahal Hill doesn't have the mentality of getting into the ground in the early fight and would still consider a stand-up fight that is why they are all Clobbred by Pereira's devastating left for sure Jan Błachowicz is the only fight that has a decent performance that Pereira had some trouble but the rest most of that fight Pereira won via KO.

But for sure Tom Aspinall is a different build because he is a heavyweight but still have the speed of a Light Heavyweight, so pretty sure Alex Pereira will have a problem against him.


Nah...  Not for Aspinall.  Apinall has a bigger prize to get in Jon Jones.  Winning vs him would def put him in the no. 1 pound for pound in the UFC.  And if Jones wins then he'll prolly retire.  It's just the problem is what do they do with Miocic.  I think the UFC should pay him double for to stop begging for a fight.  Cheesy Cheesy

Somebody said Ankalaev itt.  I think that should be Pereira's next opponent.

I think that Stipe Miocic is not begging for a fight but Jon Jones wants to fight Miocic which for me he should just get another fight rather than fighting Miocic because some say that Stipe Miocic is too old to return inside the octagon, in my opinion, he should now fight Tom Aspinall so we can know if he is worthy of the title as a pound 4-pound fighter which many have a doubt even though he has already beaten Cyril Gane, so he should move into Aspinall instead.


As Miocic is good at baseball, and he wants to fight Jones, then the only way I see that he could win is to take a bat with him Cheesy Make some homeruns on Jones chicken calfs and be the first to KO him Cheesy But yeah, what does Stepe really expect from his next fight? I would suggest him to look on Arlovski. He is aged fruit as well. If Stepe also wants to go to win average young guys with experience and and fights with boring UD, then go ahead, follow Arlovski path and fight till 45.

Good Suggestion! For sure the only way he could beat Jon Jones is for him to have a baseball bat, that would be an awesome thing to see, but seriously Stipe Miocic has had enough if he returned to UFC I really think that would be a boring fight, and just like the Jon Jones VS Ciryl Gane fight that would be a fast fight because Jone Jones would likely just pulverized him but the level of likely that he wants a fight against Stipe Miocic is just outstanding.

Haney-Garcia lived up to its hype. Full of drama and some questionable decisions. Most if not all were expecting Haney to easily dominate Ryan Garcia. What was more unexpected though was when Ryan Garcia landed a huge left hook that badly hurt Haney in the very first round. It changed the tempo of the whole fight. Haney was still winning the next rounds but he remained unstable and Ryan already found his range and is just waiting for his opportunity again.

It's just annoying how the referee was helping Haney a lot. He never deducted a point on Haney for the countless hugs. There were times he interrupted when Haney is hugging while Ryan's hands were free. But he let Haney punch when Ryan is the one clinching. One judge also tried to rob Ryan of a clear win. And corrupt WBC still retained Haney as its champion when it should've been declared vacant because he failed to defend it.

We can not say that Devin Haney is just hype and that he is really weaker, Devin Haney is definitely in another league it is just that Ryan Garcia attains a similar status and if I could bet on that fight I may have bet for Devin Haney because Ryan Garcia had lost against Gervonta Davis and even though Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney doesn't fight yet I got a huge confident on Haney winning this fight but it has all crumbled When Ryan Garcia did the unthinkable he is the underdog but he has proven that he can defeat Devin Haney.


Obviously sure they wanna rob the kid. The judge scored a Draw for that fight despite the countless knockouts, its ridiculous but you would understand that they worked together to nail Ryan. If he doesn't participate the way like they should I guess the WBC will take back the money.

And Haney whipped out this bad, I don't think he can request an immediate rematch. But Tank warned Haney from the start that Ryan does have a fast hand, he didn't listen.

For having a referee like that for sure they wanted to rob Ryan Garcia of this win and let Devin Haney win, for sure Gervonta Davis felt and noticed the speed of Ryan Garcia because he had already fought him and Gervonta Davis now had a taste of the real Ryan Garcia and all he can do is just warn Haney that is why Tank wanted a dehydration weight draining thing for Garcia to slowed him down, for sure there is no other way to slow down the kid.


I would love to see referees warning and deducting points on fighters that hug a lot. It would do better for the sport and it make fights less boring. Oscar, BHop and the rest of GBP are raining praises on Garcia. But it will  be exciting to know on what's next for Ryan. I think this fight is his last in his GBP contract and we'll see if he renews his contract knowing that he made beefs with Oscar and BHop.

Ryan becomes more popular but he is still not the face of boxing as long as Canelo is getting consistent numbers. And Ryan also said that his plan is to fight at welterweight so no more 140 then?

For me this is just my opinion, after that great win against Devin Haney I want to see a rematch against Gervonta "Tank" Davis, and this time without that Rehydration clause that he is giving against Ryan Garcia, but now that he won against Haney Ryan Garcia still doesn't get the belt that is because Ryan Garcia missed the weight for the fight and coming in 3.2 pounds over the 140-pound limit. Rather than the bout being canceled, Garcia instead opted to pay Haney compensation to ensure that it went ahead.

That's how it work in the playoffs, it's like a chess match, adjustments after adjustments and that for sure the Dallas are rooting to win game 2 to even the series. As they keep losing, their chances of winning gets slimmer, and as per statistics, when a team is down 2-0, the chance of winning the series is below 50%, so as much as possible, Dallas will try to avoid that as IMO they have the best season now with Kyrie on board.

For sure the Dallas Mavericks will adjust their strategy sure all teams will do the same I think that it is good for Luka Doncic to be on standby and be more on the passing side or likely he will be the one that is making the plays the Mavericks had a range of players that they can use and this is the play-offs they need to focus in building their bench guys while the Los Angeles Clippers is playing with their limited team but the Clippers still won the game, I think it is a good strategy to rotate the ball and let the other teammates get the heat and not just Doncic and Irving who would get the heat because that will be exhausting to their part.


I like your analysis. This is what I’m actually thinking when I watch their match. Regular season records is just a number and doesn’t matter if you are lack of experienced. OKC roster is full of young talent that doesn’t have much exposure on games like playoffs which they face same team multiple times for a series of matches.

Pelicans having veteran players on their line up makes them a bit in advantage against a young gen team. I will not be surprised if the Pelicans can eliminate them especially when the match is already move to the Pelicans home. OKC should finish the game as quickly as possible since Zion will come back potentially on game 5. Having 2-2 record will be bad for them.

You actually have a point the Cleveland Cavaliers don't have any experience with the play-offs but they still have a chance of winning against the New Orleans Pelicans even though some of the main players in the Pelicans had some experience with the play-offs we can not say the least as it is just the start of the playoffs and anything can surely happen I would really like the Cavaliers to show their fangs against the Pelicans as I think they can really do it even though they already won the 1st game the Pelicans can change their strategy next game and could tie the game for this play-offs.

Dang! I missed the UFC 300 because I was on vacation with my family but I still even though I haven't got any bets or any glimpse for the UFC 300, but right now I am watching and keeping myself active again in the UFC and what is happening right now,

Alex Pereira VS Jamahal Hill

It was a funny thing that the low blow was the trigger to take the fight to stop but Alex Pereira didn't let that happen by stopping Herb Dean from saying that he was OK kudos to Alex Pereira for not getting it in his head he surely is one badass fighter for doing something like that and for sure he is the one that is in focus in that fight and not Jamahal Hill.

Weili Zhang VS Xiaonan Yan

It was a master-class performance for Zhang Weili even though it was not a knockout or a submission like she thought it was because she thought that Xiaonan Yan likely fainted, I think not it was still a dominant performance for Zhang Weili.

Max Holloway VS Justin Gaethje

Max Halloway went berserk and crazy against Justin Gaethje it was the punch that KO'ed him and it was for the BMF Title a special belt for the Most Badass fighter, and it was really a crazy fight, both fighters didn't stop punching the other and it was the rolling back kick of Holloway that was the initial strike from the start that have Gaethje back off and got him damage his nose that got him slightly become slower that has been the key for Holloway in winning.

Well, these are some of the fights that I watch, and still will be watching the other fights for sure.

Still at awe at how Valdez can still fight like that throughout his career, it was really a brawl from round 1. Throwing heavy jabs and so Valdez face took most of the damage. But it's more of his heart that really keep him in this fight. He wanted to show to his fans that he can still become a champion even if it is just for a interim belt. But nevertheless having this belt he will have his chance against the regular belt holder.

Wilson might have to fight and go back in his Australia though to have some tune up. Fights that will give back his confidence again. His losses is very bad in the US though, but it was against a very tough Mexican brawler.

I really think that Oscar Valdez has more experience than Liam Wilson and that solid close-combat performance was really epic it was classic or vintage but at the same time was a masterclass performance from Oscar Valdez, and Liam Wilson doesn't have an answer in that barrage of punch that he was taking it was really something that Liam Wilson don't have any answer and he can not move anymore in round 7 it was really eminent that the referee would just need to stop the fight because he had seen enough one-sided beating from Oscar Valdez.

Lucky for the multi-millionaire who will get this piece of memorabilia and hopefully it will land on a real boxing fans.

That was great memorabilia from the Legend Muhammad Ali and for sure if this was auctioned for that kind of amount it would be an even much bigger amount in the future this piece of boxing shirt was worn by the legendary boxer it is worth another fortune, I really think that even the legendary Manny Pacquiao's clothes and worn shorts that he used during his boxing career all of those could have a significant value it will be a privilege and an opportunity for someone to have a possession of something like this.



And Breaking news Ryan Garcia won against Devin Haney it was an upset for the Champion that he was defeated by the Underdog Ryan Garcia it was really imminent that Ryan Garcia had the upper hand he had the speed and the feints were really effective against Devin Haney, even though the Referee was on Haney's side it was pretty much imminent that he was because he always breaks the two apart and always getting Garcia back in the ropes while letting Haney sets up the upperhand while Garcia was in the corner, and keeping up the time in shaking Haney's gloves if he is OK giving Devin Haney much time to rest.

Well this is just what have seen in watching the fight it is up to you as an audience what have you seen but despite all this Ryan Garcia still won the fight.

Martinez vs Yanez

Enjoy.

Jeunesse Arena is a great arena too so for most fighters who are Brazilian that will fight in that event it is a privilege to fight on their home turf for sure and Alexandre Pantoja will surely do his all to win in this event because of the venue well we don't have an event this week but the next main event will be a great one and the legendary Jose Aldo will be in the fight card Jonathan Martinez which I think will be crazy, but I don't know if Jose Aldo can still make a win, Paul Craig VS Caio Borralho, Anthony Smith VS Vitor Petrino and Michel Pereira VS Ihor Potieria will be a great fight to watch.


They are the ones who would just want to put a show on their home turf win or lose. But finding someone to fight against Alex is also another issue and it's also too much to lose on his part. But moneywise, Alex is too popular already, he is meant for the main event and the big paying audience. Aspinal vs Alex is most probably the next big hype.

But there are so many fighters in Brazil to fight on 301, UFC just didn't give them a spot for their supporters. Johnny Walker probably would want to fight if Dana would just give him.

Aspinal VS Alex? Is Alex Pereira increasing his division again? if that happens I really think Pereira will have a hard time with Tom Aspinall's speed and his wrestling is at a level that even Jon Jones would not likely want to challenge well, my opinion is I know that there are a lot of Jon Jones fans out there, but I really think that Alex Pereira will have a lot of problem with Tom Aspinall for sure, in increasing his weight class again, but there is a possibility.

If I talk about yesterday's match, Heat really dominated in the 2nd half, it is impressive they end up by a win without Jimmy Butler or Terry Rozier. Erik Spoelstra's selection center Bam Adebayo was a good decision, Adebayo hold the team till the end and earned fourth Boston Series.

Yes, the Miami Heat and Celtics are going to face each other in the playoffs round one. I absolutely agree with the fact that the Miami Heat is a team that has created a lot of problems for other teams that they face. And of course, they are all legit teams. Because from a "not so advantageous" position they can still perform. Miami Heat is a team that has proved themselves again and again even in unfavored situations. Currently, Miami Heat is in really good form as well. The Celtics will have a problem on their hand in the upcoming match against Miami Heat.

Erik Spoelstra really was a great strategist and I have seen it back then the Miami Heat won in their back-to-back 2011–12 and 2012–13 in the Miami Heat team, and with the strategy in winning a game against the Denver Nuggets last year it was a great strategy and by letting Denver Nuggets Nikola Jokic exposed by that strategy but unfortunately, the Denver Nuggets got into this strategy and prevented by Coach Michael Malone, and that was by letting Jokic shot the ball and not make any play,

But sure Erik Spoelstra is surely a great coach even without Jimmy Butler on the team his strategy was quite great with the remaining players that he got, and yes I was really looking forward to their next game.

Heat and Pelicans got the last tickets to play-offs as many expected. Now it's play-off time!

Magic - Cavaliers
Suns - Timberwolves
Sixers - Knicks
Lakers - Nuggets

My day 1 expectations. Home teams should win at home since this is first game and the crowds support would be amazing.

Good Choices I think that the Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Timberwolves have a great chance of winning against their counter teams while I can not still answer the Philadelphia 76ers against the New York Knicks I guess that will be a hard bet in my opinion but for sure we will see when the play-offs really starts,

It was really a bummer that I was busy with my family on an out-of-town trip it was really unfortunate that I missed most of the games in the regular season and now when we come back it was already the play-offs but it is really good to still have some games than never really have some NBA games at all.

Finally numerous Chandler kids are going to eat, get new iPhone and PlayStation 5 Cheesy Wife, dress up kids, no more Costco, Aldi or Foo4less, we are going to Erewhon Cool How long has he been unemployed? 2 years already? But enough jokes, as we have a problem here. Why Chandler odds are so low? Because after 2 losses, injury and a beating from Jake Gyllenhaal he has rose from the ashes like a phoenix, and now ready to jump into lightweight top? Cheesy

For sure both fighters will cash out enormous pay from their upcoming fight and for sure Michael Chandler can now provide something for his family I still think that he doesn't really need Conor McGregor for a fight but the addition of Connor McGregor to his publicity can surely make a big difference and impact it was like Conor McGregor is the real cash cow in this fight but as I have said Michael Chandler can still get his fight but not as successful as McGregor, and this new Weigh class is something new for both fighters.

UFC on ESPN: Nicolau vs. Perez





I miss all of UFC 300 and just rewatching most fight replays yeah this is surely 1 boring event but anyway, it is still a good shot for us to see and discover new upcoming fighters, and because I was really busy during the UFC 300 I was out of town with my family so I have no choice but to miss the big anniversary event for the UFC, but still, I surely want to still watch the action the replay action for the UFC 300 and the bits of what happened in that event.



It seems that On the UFC 300 Alex Pereira was kicked in the groan by Jamahal Sweet Dreams Hill but because he is ok with it and Herb Dean will likely stop the fight he stopped Ref Dean and said that he was OK and was eye-focused on the target and that was the History of Jamahal Hill as it was an awesome focus for Alex Pereira to knockout Jamahal Hill as many have said that the referee should stop the fight I really think Herb Dean done the right thing by not giving Jamahal Hill a chance to get back as Alex Pereira was the real deal focus on the fight it was really amazing.

This would be a challenging track for the drivers with the S-Curves around the first sector, it's pretty amazing to see some action there. Most cars would have to change in configurations with elevation changes and DRS zone positioning. I can't wait to watch the race.
Nice track I would think they run their Suzuka crotch rockets on so it would explain the S-Curve.

Both the practices were run and just waiting on the third one which will take place in around 14 hours from now.
Looks like Verstappen took the first one and Piastri the second:
https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/2024-f1-japanese-gp-results-verstappen-practice/10594989
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/fp2-piastri-sets-fastest-time-as-rain-leads-to-limited-running-during-second.4BRPGCSDQyskHIlYsr4Kkx

Never expected that many teams and drivers didn't try the wet track as RB Honda RBPT's Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton, and McLaren's Oscar Piastri were the only drivers  that had time, and tried out the wet track on the 2nd practice and finished the race it was evident that RB Racing Honda RBPT Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez the 2 leaders didn't try out the wet track ASTON MARTIN's Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll didn't show up in the 2nd practice while George Russell was the only Mercedes that didn't come out on the track,

While the results for Practice 3 are out and just like in Practice 1 Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez dominated the scene, and Mercedes's George Russell has come in the 3rd place for sure the cooling upgrade of the RB20 has again proven very effective as the Red Bull don't need to risk it in the 2nd practice to prove themselves that they are the fastest team but not risking it has a better reward.

In the last race the gap wasn't huge of course. But it is going to be really challenging for McLaren to get ahead of them in constructor standings. Probably it won't happen either as long as Ferrari don't mess up big time. But there is a really serious chance for McLaren to finish ahead of Mercedes after this great start. Especially if McLaren get another big update like in the previous season it can be more possible.

I wonder what's going on with Mercedes. This is a really terrible start. Russell's crash was unfortunate maybe but Hamilton got an engine failure.

Or Red Bull will not eventually ruin the advancement for Ferrari to keep on winning just like what they did in Australia and maybe McLaren could get on with the pace and takes the lead with Ferrari for me Ferrari wins this by luck it wasn't for the big screw up on what happened with Max Verstappen's tires then I think the domination run was still for the Red Bull if Ferrari and McLaren would want total control of the situation the engineers for both teams needs to equal the playing field and match the new and improved RB20 because last time will not repeat to happen but for sure if that could happen again, Ferrari and McLaren has a chance in snatching the lead for sure.

FORMULA 1 MSC CRUISES JAPANESE GRAND PRIX 2024

As we are heading for the 1st practice for the Japanese Grand Prix let's dive in with the following track that each team will drive on and that is the Suzuka International Racing Course, which has a number of 53 laps, a Circuit Length of 5.807km, Race Distance of 307.471 km while Lewis Hamilton is familiar with this track and for the track record on 2019, with the snaking ‘S’ Curves, the two commitment-rewarding Degners and the white-knuckle ride of 130R racers surely love this Circuit and in this Suzuka Race where the controversial race of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost have surely left fans speechless.

Wow!
That Chris Weidman versus Bruno Silva fight is kind of a questionable stoppage. I hope you guys watched it. The referee thought Silva was knocked down but the truth is not just one but two eye pokes happened when they put it in slow-mo replay. It's still a TKO for Weidman in the end. The funny thing is he gave Bruno a tip to never drop like that after a poke. Hilarious! That's two eyes, what will you do?

The co-main event was the same, stoppage of the referee. Joaquin Buckley won the fight through TKO but that's more acceptable than the fight before them. Cheesy Luque is not fighting back and he was warned many times.

Main event: Well, it was too obvious from 1st to 5th round. The long-reach advantage of Fiorot was used perfectly and her accurate head strikes are too damn good. Rose on the other hand seems to be having a tough time going in. She badly needed to risk it so she could strike at his own distance but she was always stopped midway.

It was really clear that Chris Weidman poked Bruno Silva in the eye and I didn't only count just 2 pokes but it was 4 pokes that I counted, it was hilarious that the referee didn't see that, or maybe Weidman paid the Ref for him to not get disqualified I really think that he is not fitted any more in this kind of sports and he needs to resort in this kind of things for him to win the fight for me that injury has given him something that he is not the same Chris Weidman and he would resort to anything to win, I really wish he never has returned.

Joaquin Buckley is something to look forward to and for me, he has the key component to be on top of the Welterweight but if Shavkat Rakhmonov is still in the Welterweight then he would likely have a problem getting the belt.

while I really like Erin Blanchfield Manon Fiorot looks really slick and her defensive wrestling has really improved from a fighter like Blanchfield you can really say that the level of defense in Fiorot was absolutely amazing.

UFC looks good right before the next main event! Here are the line ups of the matches coming up for this weekend!

https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc-fight-night-vettori-vs-allen/matches

UFC 300 is more promising but this upcoming event will surely do the thing, for me, I am not that hyped about this but the fights that I am looking forward to watching were Brendan Allen VS Chris Curtis, Ignacio Bahamondes VS Christos Giagos, and lastly Court McGee VS Alex Morono for me I will be looking at those fights this coming weekend and will make a bet on those aswell.
