Here is my write up for my RDA and Shev picks.

I might take some bets on the undercard when the odds come out.

Thanks for sharing.  I know RDA is better but isn't this is first bout in WW?  Don't you think the bookies are giving too much value for Magny?  I would appreciate your thoughts about that.

And as usual...  More vids to make you confused on who to bet on!  As krach would say, be sure to have already made your bets before watching these videos.  They're more for promotional purposes than for helping you figure out who the winners are.

Im not paying mch attention to this to be honest. I don't want to pull an all nighter too often anymore to watch fights live because it screws up my schelude. Im improving my health lately by going to bed earlier and screwing this up every weekend to go to bed at 7 in the morning to watch the fights always resets this. I will do an exception for GGG vs Canelo next week of course, but im not seeing this or putting any money on it. I will watch it somewhere the day after.

Oh and I just saw that Borg was out, so the card will probably suck now.

[deadsilent]

This is my bet.

 Demetrious Johnson (26-2-1) vs.  Ray Borg (11-2) (Flyweight Championship) --> K.O round 2 for Borg
 Amanda Nunes (14-4) vs.  Valentina Shevchenko (14-2) (Women's Bantamweight Championship)
I think Nuñez will win this fight. Nuñez is like a man. A knockout artist. So i will go for Nuñez for 1st round knock out
 Neil Magny (19-5) vs.  Rafael dos Anjos (26-9) (Welterweight)---> For Dos Anjos (unanimous)
 Ilir Latifi (12-5) vs.  Tyson Pedro (6-0) (Light Heavyweight)--> Pedro (unanimous)
 Jeremy Stephens (25-14) vs.  Gilbert Melendez (22-6) (Featherweight)-----> Melendez 2nd round

The main event will be a good fight. Johnson "the mighty mouse" is reigning for a long time. He should give way for the others.

Yeah their fight has been cancelled. As a result, the Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko will now headline UFC 215. I think this is the second time that Borg has cancelled the fight because of 'health' issues but I think that there might be underlying causes that's why the fight has been cancelled. Too bad I don't think that he will have a chance again to fight for the belt. He will be lucky if UFC will decide to just re-scheduled this fight again sometime. Its kinda suck for Demetrious Johnson as well, after preparing for this fight and just be cancelled just a few days. I hope that Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko will live up to its expectations though and not be a snoozer fight.

Dana White must be so angry at the current events. Borg being out and then ruining the main card is an issue already, but he has been forced to go against his own words and put Amanda Nunes on the main card. He said Amanda Nunes would never be in a main card again, and now here we are.

The UFC is being a disaster. I can't no longer count how many main cards have been ruined so far. Jon Bones Jones vs DC has been ruined a million times, Tony Fergusson vs Khabib, Amanda vs Valentina was cancelled too, Bisping GSP was cancelled too.. it never ends.

eh the borg fight being canceled didnt really ruin the card the JDS vs Francis N. did i was looking forward to see that fight more than the DJ fight

JDS vs Francis Ngannou was definitely one of the fights I was looking forward to the most.

Demetrious Johnson is receiving a lot of accolades, he's ranked #1 on many pound for pound lists. Many consider him to be the best overall MMA fighter actively fighting. It seems like he's gotten a bit jaded. Its strange how he's the champion and seems less happy with his place in things when he's being paid much more than most. I think maybe he doesn't appreciate how lucky he is and so I won't miss him not fighting.

Ray Borg is supposed to have a viral infection. I wonder what type of virus he is infected with.

Even i was looking for Francis Ngannou fight the top dogs and how he could fair against them and certainly JDS was the right choice and on Demetrious Johnson getting all the accolades is because he is so talented that he is not having a good fight in that division because he is above the rest of the competition and the problem he has is with the payment he receives as a champion compared to others,he is not a big draw in the box office and so is the reason for that disparity .

They say that its weight issues, other news says its virus infection. Its not clear though was is the real reason. Yes, Dana White is very pissed off right now because of the cancellation of the main event.

For me, Demetrious Johnson is really the best pound for pound right now. The only problem I see is that he really don't get as much exposure as those big guys that's why you may feel that he is disappointed and frustrated. But if he really wants to step up the plate then he should move up in weight and challenge the big guys.

i broke dead even lol

[tokeweed]

I must really be having a Maywaether vs McGregor hang over.  I didn't watch the event...  And the funny part is I didn't care!  Lol.    I usually kick myself if I miss a football game or some event.

Anyway, how was main event?  Is it worth watching?  I'll try not spoiling the details on myself by reading the per round reviews if it's good to watch the replay.

Edit:  By main event, I mean Nunes vs Shev.

It was a feeling out process for majority of the fight. Things really only got somewhat "heated" in rounds 4 and 5. But, overall very tactical fight, some might call it boring but, that's what tactical fights are.

From a neutral perspective it was a quite even fight and could have gone either way. But knowing UFC, in-order to dethrone a champ if the fight goes to distance you need to out perform them significantly and Shev definitely did not do that. Nunez was the aggressor the whole fight and deserved to remain the champ.

Fight #3 is most likely, unless Shev goes down a weight class.

[Hydrogen]

Anyway, how was main event?  Is it worth watching?

It wasn't a good fight. They were both waiting to counter & spent a lot of time not doing anything waiting for the other person to make a move.

Gilbert Melendez vs Jeremy Stephens was a brutal fight. Can't say that was really a good fight either so much as a one sided beat down.

Ilir Latifi vs Tyson Pedro might have been the best fight on the card that wasn't a completely one sided affair.

[Braveshd]

Jeremy Stephens looked amazing and Latifi had a nice bounce back win. Main event was pretty boring but I think Valentina really won that fight. She out struck Nunes and although Nunes had those takedowns Valentina was doing more damage from her back. It was a close fight though so it was hard to judge.

Wasn't able to watch the fight but I read that the fight is very tactical and they are very careful against each other, so I don't think they lived up to the hype. And they say that the fans are booing, LOL. I guess the 5th round takedown really seal the victory for Nunes. Yes, the Melendes and Stephens fight are brutal and we all know the Gilbert get bloodied always. And Jeremy Stephens won the fight. Will try to look for videos later and watch the fight though.
