🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[YuginKadoya]

What are your thought about Strickland and Magomedov fight ? This is going to be Magomedovs second fight in UFC (first one he won in only 19 seconds), but he has a nice record outside UFC. If not mistaken, last time Strickland had a fight he was on a short notice and fought not in his usual division. Before that he had two hard fights. It seems that UFC is giving him an easy opponent, to make him rest. Otherwise I dont how to explain why we have practically an unranked debutant vs top7 fighter fight.

That 1st fight of Abus Magomedov in UFC Paris surely is a surprising performance of his and that fight really carve its way inside my mind and never left, after his debut fight he is now fighting a ranked guy, but for me even though Magomedov is the slight underdog he is the wolves here, and Sean Strickland is going to be feed to the wolves, and Abus is a Dagestani that decided to be a striker, you really know that Abus Magomedov is a great striker and he can also get the fight to the ground that is why Sean Strickland will be terribly going to regret accepting this fight,

^  Matomedov's first opponent in the UFC, Dustin Stoltzfus, isn't really that good tho...  I think his contract wasn't renewed and he was released after the fight.  And with the 19 second KO, there isn't really much to tell how good Magomedov is.  We don't know if he has the cardio, the ground game or if he's durable enough to go toe to toe vs Strickland for 5 rounds.

And it's a huge step up in competiton.  But watching his highlights in YT, he does have decent stand up, he seems to have powerrr in those hands and his front kick could be a problem for Strickland.  If Magomedov is gonna win, it's gonna be via KO more often than not.

That front kick is a very huge problem for Strickland for sure and looking at his PFL highlights he certainly has a decent ground game, even though he got 4 losses it doesn't matter because I have seen his improvement with those recent fights he has, for me I really don't want to compare him in some fighters in the UFC because he got a unique style, for sure that Drunken punch of Strickland will not work against Abus Magomedov,

I really feel like this is gonna be a big upset. You already know by the way they stand, compare to how flatfooted Strickland is. It would be hard for Strickland to move quickly if the front kick comes.

Magomedovs gonna KO Strickland in the first round also, it will be a quick fight. He better do it quickly if he can't last 3 rounds else it will be him lying on the ground. And we'll not see him again.

Exactly Sean Strickland will not have any defense against that front kick, or maybe there will be no front kick maybe something else, or maybe a takedown I really think Abus Magomedov is pretty much well-rounded for Sean Strickland, and for me his striking game is near Pereira, if not close at least near that caliber, for me this is just my opinion in what I have seen so far,

UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov My bet and predictions,

Sean Strickland (1.65) VS Abus Magomedov (2.24)

For this fight, Sean Strickland is a real Deutschbag sorry for the word but this is how I describe him an arrogant dick head, well for me Sean Strickland really has the power to knock out his opponent he can surely go to the ground and make an exchange whoever his opponent is, but for me, because he is a Deutschbag he will surely brawl and will throw his IQ out the window for sure, while Abus Magomedov has the fighting IQ, well is Strickland doesn't like to move his head much because he wants to feel this Magomedov will strike with intelligence, and for me, Abus Kicks will be a problem of Sean Strickland, for sure while on Wrestling for me Abus Magomedov has a good showcase with his takedowns but it always finish with ground and pound but for me submission will be an option when needed for him so my pick is Abus Magomedov,



Damir Ismagulov (1.89) VS Grant Dawson (1.92 )

For this fight Damir Ismagulov is faster than Grant Dawson, in my opinion, Ismagulov also has those blitz striking where his taller opponent does have a hard time punching him because his head will be very low, Grant Dawson is a good fighter, for what I have seen he also has great striking but not as good as Ismagulov that fight with Tsarukyan was an impressive one, he also has good takedown defense for me Damir Ismagulov has a better output and power with his striking than Dawson so my pick is Damir Ismagulov,



Ariane Lipski (2.90) VS Melissa Gatto (1.42)

For this fight, Ariane Lipski could have a decent striking and also a good striking output for this fight against Melissa Gatto, but Lipski can not underestimate Gatto's durability, and striking Gatto's Greatest weapon will be her wrestling for sure while Lipski defeated Aldrich's takedowns with her takedown defense then striking but I have seen Gatto can takedown has a much advantage on wrestling and I like that, so my pick is Melissa Gatto,

[YuginKadoya]

My bet and prediction for the fight for the UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov

Sean Strickland VS Abus Magomedov

The Stake odds for this fight are 1.65 for Strickland and 2.24 for Magomedov, For this fight I don't really want to hear Sean Strickland talk anymore so this could be a biased thing I could say, but for me, Abus Magomedov is pretty much well rounded I have seen his recent fights not only in the UFC because that is stunning I have seen his fights on PFL and other fights in his previous Combat sports, his striking surely can shift and he can surely fight intelligently and has a great head movement while striking, and the best frontal kicks that Strickland will have a problem, even if he catches those kick Abus Magomedov has good takedown defense and could stop Strickland takedowns while holding Abu's feet, for sure he can decide a variety how he can end Strickland, But I can not say that Strickland is not like that but Abus Magomedov is kind of an advance fighter entering the UFC, so my pick is Abus Magomedov,

Damir Ismagulov VS Grant Dawson

The Stake odds for this fight are 1.89 for Ismagulov and 1.92 for Dawson, For Damir Ismagulov comes from a loss from Arman Tsarukyan but that was a great fight and we know how good Arman Tsarukyan is, for Damir Ismagulov it was a hard fight for him while Grant Dawson, is a great fight and that is all I can sat for him and he is still improving but the Speed of Damir Ismagulov can be seen in this fight for me Ismagulov has a much better striking than Dawson, he also had great takedowns against Arman Tsarukyan, so for me even though Ismagulov only had 1 submission win I really think he has great wrestling than Dawson aswell, and he doesn't have an issue while fighting taller guys than him and for him, he is using it on his advantage while striking, so my pick is Damir Ismagulov,
 
Ariane Lipski VS Melissa Gatto

The Stake odds for this fight are 2.90 for Lipski and 1.42 for Gato, In this fight, we can see that Ariane Lipski had solid striking for me she will give better output in striking and will be better on her feet against Gatto, and has a good takedown defense her fight on JJ Aldrich she have used those takedown defense on her advantage then punishing JJ Aldrich on striking, while Melissa Gatto is much stronger because of her Physique so her takedowns could be easy against Ariane Lipski wrestling will be her main bread and butter in this fight she got striking but she can not fight this with the stand-up against Lipski, for me both of this girl is a fighting kitty, but Ariane Lipski has a much higher level in my list and in my heart, and I am torn on who's to bet because Melissa Gatto is one crazy lady, but I think I may risk it by going with Ariane Lipski

[Slow death]

today we have a lot of fights, but I decided to bet on the fights of the obvious favorites, I don't know if I'll get it right, but I decided to try my luck. I put Kutateladze in my multibet bet, Kutateladzevai will fight Brenner and in my opinion, Kutateladzevai will come out victorious in this fight, the odds for this fight are not very attractive, being that there is @1.14 in favor of Kutateladzevai, but adding on my parlay I got a decent odd. another fight I added was Joanderson's fight against Westin, I bet on Joanderson with odds of @1.07. I think that with such a low odd value and looking at the performance of these two fighters it makes a lot of sense to bet on Joanderson

Of course, with these very low odds in favor of the favorites, I had no choice but to add them to my parlay, but even so, I still didn't get a decent odd, which is why I had to put them together with the boxing matches, which are also many fights, I hope I can be lucky to hit this bet since there are many fights that I added. now talking a little about other fights that I didn't bet on, Karol against Yana, I see karol winning this fight, it won't be an easy fight because the two fighters don't come from a good moment, but even so I think that karol wins this fight

[tokeweed]

Here are the weigh ins and the face offs.  And judging from that, we could have more than the usual number of underdogs winning in this event...  Prolly around 6 of them.  That's 50% of the total match ups.  :/  Don't take my word for it tho.  Lol.  That's an easy way to lose money.

Have fun watching the fights and good luck to all your bets!  Let's get it.

[bittraffic]

Ariane Lipski VS Melissa Gatto

The Stake odds for this fight are 2.90 for Lipski and 1.42 for Gato, In this fight, we can see that Ariane Lipski had solid striking for me she will give better output in striking and will be better on her feet against Gatto, and has a good takedown defense her fight on JJ Aldrich she have used those takedown defense on her advantage then punishing JJ Aldrich on striking, while Melissa Gatto is much stronger because of her Physique so her takedowns could be easy against Ariane Lipski wrestling will be her main bread and butter in this fight she got striking but she can not fight this with the stand-up against Lipski, for me both of this girl is a fighting kitty, but Ariane Lipski has a much higher level in my list and in my heart, and I am torn on who's to bet because Melissa Gatto is one crazy lady, but I think I may risk it by going with Ariane Lipski

That's a bold bet. Looking at their records, Gatto seems to have the upper hand over Lipski.
I tried several times for Gatto by Submission or by KO but Stake doesn't want me to win, it always rejects my bet saying Maximum exceeded. No place for my bet there anymore.  To me, Lipski would be so lucky if she wins this fight.

With Grant Dawson vs Damir Ismagulov, I'm also picking Dawson. In the last 6 fights of Ismagulov, they are all decisions. I would consider it a decline of his MMA skills.

[YuginKadoya]

today we have a lot of fights, but I decided to bet on the fights of the obvious favorites, I don't know if I'll get it right, but I decided to try my luck.

In one of the UFC threads here, Guram Kutateladze is also my pick well, it is on my full pick, and also Joanderson Brito, well I highly think that these fights will be a likely good match for those two fighters, I also like their odds, but I haven't made a bet on them I surely don't want to make a full pick and bet on the full main event because I really don't have that much money to make that bet for sure,

That's a bold bet. Looking at their records, Gatto seems to have the upper hand over Lipski.
I tried several times for Gatto by Submission or by KO but Stake doesn't want me to win, it always rejects my bet saying Maximum exceeded. No place for my bet there anymore.  To me, Lipski would be so lucky if she wins this fight.

With Grant Dawson vs Damir Ismagulov, I'm also picking Dawson. In the last 6 fights of Ismagulov, they are all decisions. I would consider it a decline of his MMA skills.

It really was a bold move for me to bet on Ariane Lipski because her opponent was Melissa Gatto a well-built woman that is highly great in wrestling but for me, I want to take my chances, Lipski also has a great takedown defense that she Shown against JJ Aldrich, so she could defend those takedowns and control the volume or output of strikes she makes this could also be a Decision win for her, and she also is a fighting kitty,

With just 1 loss, it could be a decline in his MMA skills, I really don't think so Izzy also has this kind of tendency every fight he takes now are all decision matches, but he still is the champion, for me he is just seeing some improvement but just wants to finish the fight without any flashing winnings,

[owengtam09]

The result for my bet and pick for the UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov was a zero win for me

Sean Strickland (1.65) VS Abus Magomedov (2.24) - LOST

I was ashamed about the loss I get Sean Strickland adjusted to this fight and he surely learns from his Alex Pereira fight this time instead of engaging in the brawl he is waiting for Abus Magomedov to land his punch and defended all of it, while Abus Magomedov surely has explosive punches and his kicks were effective but all of that power punches was defended by Sean Strickland and so on round 2 when he got a chance on landing that punches that likely will rock Abus Magomedov it was KO/TKO win for Sean the Deutschbag Strickland,



Damir Ismagulov (1.89) VS Grant Dawson (1.92) - LOST

Grant Dawson really has a ground game for sure and he had handed it down against Ismagulov, even though the fight was a little close those takedowns from Grant Dawson was really the one that controlled the fight in his favor for gaining momentum with those strikes on the ground surely Damir Ismagulov has a great stand up but the game of Grant Dawson with those takedowns have really messed the momentum of Ismagulov,



Ariane Lipski (2.90) VS Melissa Gatto (1.42) - LOST

Another loss for me is Ariane Lipski did a great job in landing a takedown of her own while for me I think that Melissa Gatto got the striking output here those takedowns were suppressed by Lipski, all 7 takedowns from Gatto, which is why it was a score for Ariane Lipski those strikes and takedowns that she gives, but for me, I think Melissa Gatto has the most output but still she lost the fight,

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my results for the fight today on UFC Fight Night Las Vegas, in this fight, I never imagine that the Main and the Co-Main will be lost while Ariane Lipski could win like that,

Sean Strickland VS Abus Magomedov ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

I really thought that Abus Magomedov will win this he got all of the needed techniques to pulverize Sean Strickland but it all doesn't go so well, in his part Sean Strickland truly has a good defense that he uses on the aggressive Magomedov, I was surely surprise I really thought that Strickland doesn't have any IQ at all in this fight, he has proven me that I am wrong I might have been too lazy to look for some flaws for Magomedov, I never thought that Strickland could also fight like these, I really don't like this guy and so I thought that Abus Magomedov would win this, but he handed it out to him Strickland has used Abus Magomedov aggressiveness against him it wasn't really a good sight for me,

Damir Ismagulov VS Grant Dawson ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST

I really thought that Damir Ismagulov has got it, but Grant Dawson has gotten most of those strikes it was a unanimous decision for Dawson because all judge's scorecard goes to Grant Dawson, there were 5 takedowns for Dawson and 3 was successful takedowns for Grant Dawson, and strike output also goes to Dawson, surely I really thought that Damir Ismagulov could make the output higher for him but it was Grant Dawson's takedowns that change and control the fight

Ariane Lipski VS Melissa Gatto ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

Now I never imagine that fighting Kitty Lipski could win against Gatto, it was really surprising but all takedown attempts of Melissa Gatto were all defended by Lipski, all 7 takedown attempts of Melissa Gatto, I was really surprised by it because Ariane Lipski takedown Gatto 1 time and it was successful, for me I was really surprised but all I have said is I know that Ariane Lipski just have a great takedown defense that Gatto will have a hardtime going forward,

[TopTort777]

Sean Strickland VS Abus Magomedov ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

I really thought that Abus Magomedov will win this he got all of the needed techniques to pulverize Sean Strickland

I did not expect you would bet on Magomedov. I think your attention was taken by his record and number of KO. But like I often post, there are overall and UFC records (you might notice that I add in brackets UFC record separately). Outside UFC Magomedov is good, but UFC guys are on another level when we talk about guys in top. In this fight I saw that Sean allowed Magomedov to try all of his arsenal, waited for round two, and showed him his boxing skill.

[bittraffic]

Sean Strickland VS Abus Magomedov ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

I really thought that Abus Magomedov will win this he got all of the needed techniques to pulverize Sean Strickland

I did not expect you would bet on Magomedov. I think your attention was taken by his record and number of KO.

In this fight I saw that Sean allowed Magomedov to try all of his arsenal, waited for round two, and showed him his boxing skill.

I did go for Magomedov as well. Funny how he gassed out not even trying to reserve some. He just covers and gets wrecked. Sad day that I allocate an amount for that guy. His attempts in the first round were all just botched.

He was successful in leg kicks, I don't understand why he stopped doing it, it should have been a good strategy to not allow Strickland to move by damaging his leg.  When during his first fight he won and took a long time he got another fight, this time he may really not get another.

[YuginKadoya]

Sean Strickland VS Abus Magomedov ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

I really thought that Abus Magomedov will win this he got all of the needed techniques to pulverize Sean Strickland

I did not expect you would bet on Magomedov. I think your attention was taken by his record and number of KO. But like I often post, there are overall and UFC records (you might notice that I add in brackets UFC record separately). Outside UFC Magomedov is good, but UFC guys are on another level when we talk about guys in top. In this fight I saw that Sean allowed Magomedov to try all of his arsenal, waited for round two, and showed him his boxing skill.

Surely I am aware of what Sean Strickland and Abus Magomedov can do, but I really don't like Strickland sorry maybe because of this I become very biased toward Abus Magomedov, that I was so blinded by his Dagestan linage, And I thought that he got his wrestling in his tool kit but he doesn't have any but maybe he doesn't have a chance to show it, but Sean Strickland have changed his game and style instead of his usual brawling method he switches to the defending mode, his defense was so much that all possible heavy shots from Magomedov was blocked, and pretty much Abus Magomedov doesn't see this and keeps on continue his barrage of punches but because of those defense from Strickland he made Magomedov exhausted, and this is the time for Magimedov to get a decent fight a high fight but still it was a win fo Strickland,

I did go for Magomedov as well. Funny how he gassed out not even trying to reserve some. He just covers and gets wrecked. Sad day that I allocate an amount for that guy. His attempts in the first round were all just botched.

He was successful in leg kicks, I don't understand why he stopped doing it, it should have been a good strategy to not allow Strickland to move by damaging his leg.  When during his first fight he won and took a long time he got another fight, this time he may really not get another.

He surely can not take the defense of Sean Strickland and this Strickland we are seeing right now is different after his fight with Alex Pereira he clearly trained and showed good boxing, and that level of defense he adjusted himself for this fight surely Sean Strickland came prepared for this fight while clearly, Abus Magomedov came the same and not ready for a ranked fight, I surely never seen that and this has given an eye opener and seeing Strickland from a different perspective, I still hate him though

[owengtam09]

I think we are all OK in moving on with a new event this event was pretty much frustrating for me because of that worst loss I had, but the next event will be a real main event for the UFC,

This time whole main card looks promising plus Lawlers fight from prelims Another test for Volkanovski. How many title defences he has already made? Few more and new UFC record? Arent Volkanovski and Makhachev are planning to fight again? First they were not planning to do it, but later Volkan insisted on him winning their fight and media start to buzz again lately.

[tokeweed]

UFC 290 is a banger of a card.  But too bad we lost Sean Brady.    He was supposed to fight Jack Della Maddalena.  That would've been a huge test for JDM but in Brady's last match, he was KO'd by Belal Muhamad.  The UFC knew what they were doing by matching him up with a guy with KO powerrr in JDM.

Another good match up that was pulled out is Fig vs Kape.  Fig supposedly moves up to 135 for this one.  Would've loved to see that one.  :/

But still..  Some good fighters I'm looking forward to.

Here's the countdown vid.  They included Bo Nickal in this one.  I guess he's the next prospect they're building up.

Maybe if Volkan wins against Yair. He will insist on that rematch against Mackhachev. Once he has the mic from the media, it's an opportunity to call something out and Volkanov did it.
Just looking at their records, Volkanovski is pretty much better than Yair, Volkanov must have been expecting after this fight as well.

When it comes to power and experience, it's still Volkanovski who will win in this fight. Yair may have some success in his unusual attack but Volka will defeat him.

[YuginKadoya]

I think we are all OK in moving on with a new event this event was pretty much frustrating for me because of that worst loss I had, but the next event will be a real main event for the UFC,

UFC 290: Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez

DATE: 07.08.2023
TIME: 06:00 PM
VENUE: T-Mobile Arena
LOCATION: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

This is the most packed UFC event that I have seen even the Preliminary Cards have a juicy fight that is likely a good watch from the main event and all of the main card fights are great, actually, I don't know where to start Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez will be the sure banger of the night, and surely Brandon Moreno will defend his title to Alexandre Pantoja, we have Robert Whittaker fighting Dricus Du Plessis, from Dan Hooker, and Bo Nickal the Main card is really stacked with an amazing fight while the Preliminary card was also a great banger of a fight, starting with Robbie Lawler,  Jack Della Maddalena, Jimmy Crute, Tatsuro Taira and Edgar Cháirez, Vitor Petrino Terrence Mitchell was all the fighters that I have an idea with, going with the event,

This time whole main card looks promising plus Lawlers fight from prelims Another test for Volkanovski. How many title defences he has already made? Few more and new UFC record? Arent Volkanovski and Makhachev are planning to fight again? First they were not planning to do it, but later Volkan insisted on him winning their fight and media start to buzz again lately.

It really Is promising indeed actually this is the 2nd time seeing a UFC event this stacked and all fights look promising, surely Yair Rodriguez is a promising athlete while Alexander Volkanovski might don't want another rematch against Max Holloway because if they did, that will be 5 times, and now Yair Rodriguez will surely have a shot for the title this is a good fight to watch I really like Yair Rodriguez but for Alexander Volkanovski losing this match it is highly unlikely to happen for me I still see Volkanovski as the goat in the Featherweight division while the Makhachev rematch is on the corner maybe after Islam Makhachev's own fight in the lightweight division,

[TopTort777]

Here's the countdown vid.  They included Bo Nickal in this one.  I guess he's the next prospect they're building up.  

Bo Nickal actually is a very promising guy in UFC. This guys MMA record isnt that much impressive, but his wrestling background is huge. As a middleweight division guy, he really can cause lots of trouble with his skills. Middleweight is full of good strikers, but lack elite wrestlers. Imho this guy is able to get in top10 easily in few years. With time he would get used to striking more and more, and watch out middleweights

[tokeweed]

^  And 185 is prolly the weakest of weight classes in the UFC rn followed by 205.  They need to get more talent in at the top 10 as fast as possible.  It's also why Magomedov who's unranked got a main event slot.  

Anyway, I just got my picks in for the Multi Master and decided to mix it up a bit and got the underdogs that I think could win.    The UFC has gotten a tad unpredictable as of late.  :/
