🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[bbc.reporter]

Fight Karl Roberson vs Dalcha Lungiambula is also canceled because of positive covid testing...again, and that fight is postponed.
We saw this so many times so I am waiting for the last day before talking for sure who will really fight.
Dana White and friends are having much headaches and things to combine

Agreed. UFC 256 was very much different when it was announced. I reckon Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns is the biggest cancellation.

One more fighter cut from UFC and this time that is Rachael Ostovich we recently saw losing her fight, and Dana White is keeping his word on cleaning the roster and Joel Romero and we can expect to see 60 more fighters released.
Who is next on the live to be released? Anyone wants to have closed fun bet?

[TopTort777]

According to multiple sources Yoel Romero just released from UFC contract after seven years, probably because of missing his drug tests like I wrote before or something even worse!

My opinion is that he was released due to 3 lost fight in a row. I've read long time ago that fighters got fire for 3 losses in a row, maybe this rules was applied to Yoel. Sad to see that he is already out of ranking. Maybe this is because he had already lost to top1-2 fighters, he is already 43 and who should he fight next? Get a series of wins to be able to fight for a belt once again? As he had 1-2 fight per year, this might take him to long to get an opportunity for a title fight. How many title shot he had lost already? 3 (intermit and championship with Whittaker, and one with Adesanya). Dana White once said that "nobody wants to fight Yoel Romero". I wonder why, he is a nice guy that fights clean.

^  At 256 alone, I can think of three fighters to be given the sack in a couple of months or so:  JDS, Cub Swanson and Jacare.  At least Scott Coker is gonna be happy picking them up.

Anyway...  I just parlayed Cyril Gane and Fig at 1.60.  Chalky but safe.  

Some break downs by Dan Hardy...  They're good.

I just watched  the Charles Oliveira vs. Kevin Lee fight and I thought Charles is quite flashy and has some chin as well. It's a pretty good match up for Tony Ferguson but I just don't know if he's good enough to avoid the takedown and submission attempts. I'm likely going to throw $10 at 2.37 for Charles here.

Israel Adesanya is not resting but he worked a lot on his Jiu Jitsu and received a purple belt, and I am eager to see him in his new fight.

Very Busy indeed, Well my pick on the previous fight doesn't really look good I really need to keep on researching thoroughly for a great result but anyway it is good to see that Tony Ferguson is fighting again after that devastating defeat he suffers but again he is showing a great spirit in never giving up, but Still, we can not see a match between him and Nurmagomedov because Khabib has already retired but Kevin Lee had a plan that may lure Khabib Nurmagomedov out of retirement.

I really respect Khabib's decision but I am really hoping that he could change his mind about retiring and I would really want to see him fight again.

[TopTort777]

Israel Adesanya is not resting but he worked a lot on his Jiu Jitsu and received a purple belt, and I am eager to see him in his new fight.

He is mixing If you follow his https://www.instagram.com/stylebender/ and watch stories, you would see how much he eats junk food and drinks. I was rather shocked to seem him eating Asian food with pizza stake and beverages His stomach will send him "Hello". Or he is gaining. Or he trains and losses so much calories, that he needs to eat such heavy food.

[notblox1]

Israel Adesanya can eat food he wants to eat because he is probably going to move from middleweight to light heavyweight division at some point, and I think he is not fighting in next few months

My prediction for the main card of UFC 256 Deiveson Figueiredo, Tony Ferguson, Ronaldo Souza.

I am expecting Deiveson Figueiredo to finish Moreno and expecting a really great fight between Tony Ferguson and Charles Oliveira and i am expecting Tony Ferguson to come on top.

Have to look at the earlier cards for my picks.

UFC 256 turned out to be great fight card including main card and prelims staring with Chase Hopper vs Peter Barrett.
Hopper is favorite if we look at odds and he is having great record so far with nine wins and only one defeat against Alex Caceres.
We also have Junior Dos Santos vs Ciryl Gane, and it will be interesting to see how Dos Santos will fight against Gane after 3 loses.

Ciryl Gane has perfect 6-0 record and I think he will win but odds are low, so maybe bet with submission would be better but more risky.

Main and co-main events are just amazing.
Figueiredo is a beast, he was fighting only few weeks ago against Perez, he is ready now and I can see him winning today also.

Be ready for start for this event with countdown:

Charles Oliveira and Tony Ferguson always have entertaining fights and if you watched the fight against Kevin Lee who is known for his cardio you always know that he will fade away in the later rounds and that is what culminated to the submission in the third round. Tony Ferguson has stamina for many rounds and it will be a really interesting fight and i am expecting Tony Ferguson to win the fight and then the winner will face the champion and Khabib coming out of retirement for his last fight and i wish it should be Tony Ferguson .

[bbc.reporter]

@eaLiTy. However, after El Cucuy's painful loss in the fight vs. Justin Gaethje, this is giving the fans with more questions in his confidence and his skill. He was not only defeated, he was broken by Justin for the first time in his career.

[boltz]

The fight is about to begin is personally I took Tony and 3 exact rounds and I do hope it will be a spectacular fight between this two similar fighters. However, being the fact that the odd is 10 , I would expect a fight that will be over by decision.

Kevin Holland vs Jacare Souza - See how Kevin massacre my boy Jacare!

[notblox1]

Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno was amazing to watch five round championship battle and probably one of the best fights of year 2020!
If there wasn't low kick, eye pock, negative point, and stomach problems night before fight  for Figueiredo it would be his win and not a draw, but nobody complained about this decision, and everyone expects to see rematch in 2021.
Charles Oliveira got easy win against Ferguson, much easier than I expected, and overall this was fantastic event to watch.

I was surprised with Brandon Moreno and if he could do a bit more on the last round he could have won the fight, his left hand was totally busted and he could not even throw a punch in the last round and there was a point deducted and hence it ended up as a draw if not Deiveson Figueiredo would have won the decision.

Charles Oliveira surprised me by completely dominating Tony Ferguson, i thought he could have stopped Tony Ferguson in the first round if there was a few seconds more as the armbar was nasty.

UFC 265 Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno

Was an insane main event both fighters have done their all, and I was really surprised at Moreno holding on and both fighters were really equal and in my opinion, if it wasn't for the deduct points on Figueiredo, He might have won this fight but still, I think both men are winners for an amazing performance, and let's move on to the next match.

Charles Oliveira surprised me by completely dominating Tony Ferguson, i thought he could have stopped Tony Ferguson in the first round if there was a few seconds more as the armbar was nasty.

Super nasty to be honest, the armbar seems so perfect. That's why I'm wondering how did Ferguson survived it, maybe because of pride? Well, Ferguson is the type of guy blah blah blah jk .

But seriously, I feel bad that he lost. He is getting farther from Khabib (if he ever return) if the lose streak continues. Hmm, is it the right time for him to retire or at least try Bellator? What do you guys think?

[eaLiTy]

@eaLiTy. However, after El Cucuy's painful loss in the fight vs. Justin Gaethje, this is giving the fans with more questions in his confidence and his skill. He was not only defeated, he was broken by Justin for the first time in his career.

After the fight the intuitions you had were on spot and i was surprised to see Charles Oliveira completely dominating Tony Ferguson on the feet and on the ground and the ease in which he was able to secure the take downs i wonder what Khabib would have done to Tony and Khabib predicted this when he was interviewed and he said Tony will loose again as the amount of damage he took in the fight against Justin is too much and that is exactly what happened as the fight was completely dominated by Charles Oliveira.
