🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[tokeweed]

But yes I also want to see a Zabit VS Yair fight as well and rooting for that day to come.

Since Max Holloway has an opponent to face in Alexander Volkanovski which is scheduled for the December card we might see Zabit Magomedsharipov and Yair Rodriguez as they are ranked 5 and 6 respectively and any fight with these two opponents will be a spectacle for the audience as you will see many unorthodox techniques.

The card is having all the veterans fighting to make money and hence no one is interested in these fights  .

Since this is a Brazilian even you will see many fan favorites in the event and in the main event Jan Blachowicz is the favorite as Ronaldo Souza is moving up in weight.

Well, if there are surely a big chance for a Zabit Magomedsharipov VS Yair Rodriguez fight then that will be great and I think that there are fans that are very likely to have this fight, but I am having a doubt if Zabit can have a solution with his Cardio then I guess he would likely have a fighting chance against Yair Rodriguez, but that will be a lovely fight to watch.

Let me start

Date   November 16, 2019
Venue   Ginásio do Ibirapuera
City   São Paulo, Brazil

Fight Card (ESPN+)

Light Heavyweight   Jan Błachowicz   vs.   Ronaldo Souza            
         

In this fight I think that I have seen an article about Souza's Mental Health that he nearly quits UFC even though they are saying that this issue has been taken care off, I think there will still be a problem with Souza's performance, while in the other hand Blachowicz’s is a fairly durable fighter that can surely take Souza on in my opinion, And maybe Blachowicz’s can have an advantage in this fight.

Blachowicz obv has the (huge) edge.  Jacare is 40, he's also moving up to LHW for this match and his opponent is a guy who knocked Rockhold out.  Blachowiz ITD is the bet.  IMHO.

The reason i am giving Blachowicz the advantage is because Souza is coming off a loss to Jack Hermansson and his age and he is battle tested and have multiple injuries and he is moving up a division, but Souza can strike and it is evident from the knock out of Chris Weidman and even in the past he is known to knockout people and Blachowicz is not known to have knockout power but he floored Luke Rockhold but we know his chin is gone after Bisping knocked him out.

I am not to exited about this UFC Fight Night 1644 in Brazil
None of the fighters I follow are on the card.
Jan Błachowicz have better odds by bookies, but he is going at Ronaldo Souza home.
Anything can happen really

I have the same problem before as well, I follow only well known UFC fighters but if you notice, those well known fighters only come out once or twice a year so I don't expect anymore that every UFC event, there will be a superstar in the card lined up to fight, however, in every UFC event, there's a lot of surprises. Some matches you think will turn out dull is sometimes the one that turned out to be the fight of the night. Give new fighters a chance to prove that they are worthy to be in a PPV event of UFC.

I have seen many advantages on Blachowicz over Jacare so I have seen much positive feedback than what Souza Jacare has, So I am pretty positive that Jan Błachowicz really had a huge advantage in this fight.

I really want to give chance to fighters that are unrecognizable or underrated for now that is why I have posted the matchups for UFC fight night 163 for those players to get some attention and even though I don't bet on their fight I am surely monitoring even the underdogs if they would turn out to have potential in the future.

I will have to give the edge to ORTEGA in this one and I read he is the opening favorite
This fight card is not for another month out so we should focus the attention on the ones that are sooner

Good tune up here by Brian Ortega. One year after that humiliating loss to Max Holloway. This is going to be an easy fight on paper for Brian but his one year of inactivity and the possible mental effects on the way he was stopped on his first career defeat. The Korean Zombie will also enjoy the home crowd advantage. My prediction is Brian Ortega wins a decision. He will be careful in this fight.

Whoah! I didn't notice it. Jacare is now a Light Heavyweight contender for real . I forgot that he originally came from the Middleweight division lol. Anyway, I agree to you somehow but I honestly disregard his new weight class among the disadvantages we can think of. Here's the simple logic, Jacare and his trainers won't decide to go in the higher division in the first place if he is not comfortable with it, right? Hmm facing adjustments are inevitable of course but I'm confident he could used to it. The bottomline, I'm not bothered for him moving but his age does .

[tokeweed]

I was gonna bet on Blachowicz but then I saw how juiced up Jacare is (and the fight is in Brazil.  USADA doesn't collect the samples themselves there afaik).  He's yuuuge af at LHW and he's gonna gain more in 24 hours after weigh ins.

Check him out.  Lmao.

I think this fight is way ahead and we will be heaving two more fights before this, but it is not too early to surely make some prediction and yeah The Korean Zombie is something to look forward too and I think this is a really great main event but this will be on December 21st it is a long wait for this fight.

Yup jacare is sure juice up before the fight makes it a slightly difficult to make a bet on it but I guess I will still go with Jan Blachowicz I think he may handle the pressure that Ronaldo Souza has so still gone with Blachowicz.

Even if there is no USADA active in the country i am sure they will be collecting samples and all the fighters that moved up to light heavyweight got knocked out but i do not think Blachowicz will knock Jacare out but it will be a tough fight and if Jacare can take him to the ground then it will be a battle as he is the best ground fighter and age is the only negative aspect and he lost some of his past fights.

Is it even possible now a days.

No way... Korean Zombie is clear favorite here for me.
It will be good fight anyway.

I posted it because most of the current fights are boring for me now.
I saw it confirmed on Twitter and I posted it here.

Korean Zombie aka Chan-Sung Jung is a really exciting fighting and i remember his title fight against Jose Aldo and it was a competitive fight until the Korean Zombie dislocated his shoulders during the fight and  one seeing that Aldo finished him after seeing his shoulder dislocated and then his really great  fight against Yair Rodríguez he was winning the judges in every round and that reverse elbow cost him the match in the last second but Brian Ortega is a different animal altogether, he is good with his hands and improving and he is a legit black belt and if he catches him in a guillotine or triangle it is game over.

I guess instead of retiring, Jacare chooses to move up in weight and be a LHW. But he can't taken lightly here by Blachowicz just because he is way past his prime, Souza still possesses one of the best overhand right in my opinion. And you don't want to be in under Jacare in the mat, because he is a strong finisher.  However, I agree that Souza has multiple injuries and old as hell and very slow and Blachowicz can take advantage of that. So I give Blachowicz the advantage as well, either by KO/TKO.

Fighting in your hometown is like UFC giving the fighter an extra advantage in winning the fight. Brian Ortega maybe younger than Chan Sung Jung but the experience in the octagon of the Korean Zombie is something to watch out for, most specially the crowd will surely cheer for him. Ortega has the leg reach advantage while Chan Chung Jung has the reach advantage.

I'll go with the opposite. I believe that Souza still in good shape, had a good stamina and don't have any problems regarding about standing for whole 5 rounds. But Nah such thing is very rare in the Light Heavyweights anyways, what matters here is how hard puncher you are and how strong your chin is. With that being said, Jacare can definitely survive in his new division. He is not a glass chin tho . I'll go with Jacare via KO .

Jan Błachowicz won against Ronaldo Souza with split decision.

Only two matches ended with KO in UFC fight night 164 Charles Oliveira and James Krause.
most of other fights where also decision wins. No bonus awarded.

This boring UFC event ended finally.
Lets move on.

I am yet to watch the fight and usually the split decision goes to the home town hero and not sure what happened here  and Maurício Rua went to a split draw and the odds for that in any sports book would have been huge. Have to watch the highlights when its available to watch those fights now.

This boring UFC event ended finally.
Lets move on.

I was not interested in this even because none of my favorite fighters were in it but co main and main event was a hard fought battle looking at the results.

Yeah, I wasn't able to watch the fight but it's good though, because I read that it was such a boring UFC event. There's a lot of comments in Twitter specially from fighters which is funny, 

I guess the two just being careful in their chess game match, a win is a win though for Blachowicz.

[tokeweed]

^  It won't be boring if you place some bets here and there...  

The last round got Jacare.  If it weren't for that final exchange, the split decision would've went to his favor.  IMHO.
