Who's chances are 49% - 51% do you mean? It will be different with all the match ups because each fighter is different. If it is all close to 50% - 50% then you do not have to think about it. You can make a bet on any of them without analyzing and enjoy the fights.

Daniel Cormier injured during his training?  He did that to Jones also. Im not saying DC is scared of anthony johnson. But what i see its looks like intentional to me. Im frustrated the fight cancelled. Hope UFC make a good fighters who are the replacement for the main event. Does anyone know who are the fighters will replace the main event?

I'm not surprised at all regarding on their fight he did again the injury reason over and over. Too bad for Anthony Johnson he fought his way to get back the title shot and suddenly Daniel Cormier pulls out. The belt should be stripped from him he do this kind of bullshit repeatedly, many fans are waiting for this fight and in the end it will never happen. Still waiting for the announcement who will be the opponent of Johnson, no announcement yet.

All i know is i lost a bunch of money on last night's main event fight, so I'm staying far away from UFC from now on.

were you familiar with all the fighters who fought at ufc fightnight 101 and i am sure all the matches were close and there were pretty upsets too but mostly it was not a card to bet on,even i lost 0.01 with my predictions yesterday as i entered for fun and with Cormier out of the main event and Johnson not interested in any other fight i am a bit disappointed with the card.

So Conor Mcgregor got relinquished from his FW championship belt making Aldo the undisputed champ.  With Cormier and Johnson out, the main event will be Holloway vs. Pettis for the FW interim championship.  Which doesn't make sense because why is there need for an interim belt when Aldo was just made champ and is currently active?  I guess the UFC needed something even it if it's retarded to market the event.

i cannot understand how Connor Mcgregor allowed this to happen as he was strongly against relinquishing his belt just like that and Aldo will be furious to get the undisputed belt without facing Mcgregor and as long as Aldo is not able to face Mcgregor nobody is going to approve his belt and his legacy will be questioned if he is not able to face Mcgregor again

Man I was looking forward to this one.

Dc is pretty unlikable by most fans so any decent fight will get just as good numbers so
from a business stand point it shouldnt affect much. If they were smart they would find a
good ladies fight. Those ones are huge. Paige already has a date otherwise would say her.

Daniel Cormier does have opposition when he faces Jon Jones and other than that i do not think that he is that much hated by the fans and in women's division Ronday Rousey could fill the stadium and so does cristiane justino with the super start she is in Brazil other than that i do not think any women's headliner would sell that much and with Cormier injured they cannot fill in anyone as they have stacked their card with super fights in UFC 205 and i do think that is the reason they have to go with Holloway and Pettis

A little update on Rumble Johnson. He was offered to fight Gegard Mousasi for the interim light heavy weight title but Rumble was not interested because an interim title will not mean anything to him. He only wants to fight Daniel Cormier for the title.

Now with Daniel injured he is open in fighting at the heavy weight division. Will he be able to compete with the best UFC heavyweights like Cain or Miocic? It might be a big risk for him.

Hey guys I just updated the OP.  Check it out and use it as a guide for all your bets this Saturday.  It's a little disappointing that Cormier vs Johnson didn't quite work out.  But hey, Holloway vs Pettis makes for an intriguing fight!

Here's a video to start you get into it.  Enjoy.

Max Holloway is in tremendous fight form after his defeat against connor Mcgregor and he is the first person to drag Mcgregor to a decision as he was beating the rest of his opposition within the first two rounds. Donald Cerrone is a safe bet but Matt Browne is a good fighter and i am not sure about Kelvin Gastelum as he is missing weight frequently and so i go with Tim Kennedy .

I choose Anthony Pettis over Max Holloway simply because I believe we are seeing a different Pettis now. He is more motivated to become a champion again, he has more power at feather weight because he came from the heavier light weight division and I believe Max has not faced a fighter like Pettis before. For Max I have never viewed him as championship material. It is like he is just there and happy with where he is.

i also agree that Pettis will be more aggressive to win this fight wanted to prove that he can bring down Max as we all knew that inside the ring the player who have more aggressive the more edge player will have placing my bet and hopefully i will see him wins. good luck it will be a good odd if this pick will win.

Just dropping by to post some videos.  The first one is Dan Hardy giving his analysis for the main event.  He gave another awesome analysis and insights as usual.  And the next two are just small updates on what the fighters are up to just days before the event.

Enjoy!

Posting more videos to help you guys, and me, in deciding who to bet for especially in the main event.  I know Holloway is the guy to bet on since he's still reaching his peak and I think Pettis is slowly getting of his.  But Holloway could be a good match up for Pettis in theory because Holloway isn't a fighter who can take down Pettis (just my humble opinion).  So this match up could be closer than what the odds make it appear.  Anyway I still haven't made any decisions yet for 206.

Here are the vids.  Enjoy!

To all the MMA fans out here look out for  Dooho Choi he is facing Cub Swanson both are awesome fighters but  Doo ho Choi is an up coming super talent and is considered as a future champion he has 12 wins by knockout and won 15 matches till now and lost 1 in a split decision .He is young just 25 years old and for all the MMA betters look out for him .

Thanks for the vids. I like how Anthony Pettis fights and want him to win but I've seen Max Holloway fight and it is not going to be easy at all.  Pettis is a lil unpredictable and thats what I like about him, on the other hand Max Holloway is a machine. Would be a good title fight and can't wait for it.
