🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[bbc.reporter]

@TheNineClub. Agreed! I predict TJ Dillashaw will be the fighter sleeping hehe. His last fight 2 years ago vs. Henry Cejudo produced one of the fastest knockouts in UFC history for Cejudo. This was also during his use of steroids before his suspension. I reckon it will be before round 4.

In any case, this is this card’s cute sexy kitten. Diana Belbita.

Cory Sandhagen vs. T.J. Dillashaw

And Because T.J. Dillashaw was tested positive for (rHuEPO)  I don't know if the UFC is really promoting this fight seriously, because of what Dillashaw did he failed a drug test against EPO during the Henry Cejudo fight So why do UFC give Dillashaw a title shot and not Cory Sandhagen? while Dillashaw is having a blast of taking a fight that he thinks he can win, I really think Dillashaw is not Miesha Tate and not like Tate, that have won after her long career break, it is way asking more for Dillashaw to win this, but Cory Sandhagen is extremely precise with his striking I can say he can surely get the job done, and the stake.com's odds Cory Sandhagen is the favorite here, he got 1.54 and 2.70 for T.J. Dillashaw, I think Cory Sandhagen can get this win for sure.

Aspen Ladd vs. Macy Chiasson

Macy Chiasson won a decision with Marion Reneau but I don't seem interested in that fight because of what Aspen Ladd has catered for us because she TKO'ed Yana Kunitskaya I think that Aspen Ladd can be very technical with her fights and winning against Kunitskaya is a big thing at all, well that is all I can think of because for me Aspen Ladd can win this he can surely be more technical with her techniques over Macy Chiasson.

[notblox1]

Dana White made his usual pre event video If you don't know, now you know for Sandhagen vs Dillashaw.
Interesting fights he mentioned are Punahele Soriano vs Brendan Allen, and I watched Puna fighting few months ago, so I am expecting possible KO in this interesting fight.
Adrian Yanez is coming from six win streak, and both him and Randy Costa are KO specialist so we can see some bombs in this fight.

I'm excited to see Sandhagen back in action, his last match up ending up in a surprising knock out by flying knee I believe if my memory serves me correctly. I'm not sure if I'm expecting a knockout yet, depends on type of  TJ Dillashaw comes out on the night. I'm still finalizing some of my predictions, and watching some footage.

Well, probably neither way as Till and Sandhagen aren't fighting each other Till is 3 weight classes above him and is not fighting on the card. But the Dillashaw / Sandhagen fight could produce a KO either way, but I think it could be in the latter rounds.

I mean Till, and Dill are close right I literally have no idea how I mixed their names up. I did watch Whitakers fight against Till recently so maybe that was it, but I most definitely was thinking about TJ when I made the post above. Anyway, I'm thinking Sandhagen will get the KO instead of Dillashaw, although like I said above it matters what type of Dillashaw actually comes out on the night, as I find him a little bit hit, and miss, and the fact that he hasn't fought for over two years at this point might mean hes coming into this fight off a loss, a bit rusty. If we get a fresh Dillashaw, I think Sandhagen can at least make it to the end of five rounds, I don't see him getting knocked out.

Weigh in has started.  And it’s Sandhagen first on the scale followed by Paiva, Belbita, Randy Costa then Ewell..  They all made weight.  And I have to say, Randy Costa looked really good.

UFC Vegas 32:  Live Weigh in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EOB5VcfDac

Edit:  Just saw Yanez.  He looked good too but not as good as Costa.  I’m taking Costa for the Multi Master.  

[Welsh]

I might update this prediction closer to the night:

Elise Reed (TKO)
Jordan Williams
Imavov
Brandon Allen
Randy Costa (TKO)
Cory Sandhagen (Points)

I'm going with Cory to win by points. I know that Dill is coming out of a lengthy lay off period, but I'm sure he won't have too much rust, and will be able to shake that off in the first few rounds. Cory could potentially take advantage of that rust in the first few rounds though, and might be able to score a knock out. Ultimately, I think it'll be a win for Cory with him dominating in the first few rounds, and then in the later rounds it'll be a little closer.

[tokeweed]

Everybody made weight!  But Ladd vs Chiasson was scratched from the event.  I’m not really sure why but it’s not covid.  I heard that one of the fighters got injured.  The UFC didn’t say which one.

That is really sad news to hear knowing that Aspen Ladd will then return after that 2019 Kunitskaya fight and I think mostly awaited by her fans especially myself, is really a letdown, but yes one of the fighters is injured but there is still no given explanation of who it is and what really happened, but I have seen from MMA Junkie that from their anonymous source that Chiasson was the injured party if that is the case if the fight will continue to do UFC will replace whoever is injured or the fight event will be totally scratch,

and after looking at Aspen Ladd Wikipedia they confirmed that the fight was really scrapped by UFC due to Chiasson Suffering an injury but no further report on what really happened.

[tokeweed]

^  Ah cool.  At least we know she’ll just be rescheduled.  She’ll prolly feature in one of the PPV events and be the main event of the prelims.

And btw..  Last call to Sportbet.io’s Multi Master Challenge:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350272.0

[notblox1]

Everything is ready and UFC early prelims are starting in few hours earlier than usual and they released new pre fight poster.
Macy Chiasson got injured and his fight against Aspen Ladd was sadly canceled.
Here are my main picks for this event: Cory Sandhagen, Kyler Phillips, Punahele Soriano all to win and I expect to see some KO's in this fight card.

I think dillashaw is going to surprise a lot of people tonight and I think he will get the knockout against Sandhagen. Dillashaw needs to come back with a bang and this fight is going to be a battle while it lasts.

I am excited for Allen I have been hearing good things about him on the mma reddit.

[7788bitcoin]

My pick for the card is Hannah Goldy, Sijara Eubanks and Elise Reed to go to the distance,  Adrian Yanez and Randy Costa hopefully not going the distance, Miranda Maverick, Kyler Phillips, Cory Sandhagen and TJ Dillashaw i am not expecting the fight to go the distance and i am hoping TJ Dillashaw to perform well as he is back in his division and it will be a good test for Cory Sandhagen.

[Welsh]

Well, that was a really good card, which was ruined by bad judges. At least, in some of the earlier fights. Maverick fight in particular I thought was a little odd. However, I can't complain too much about the Dillashaw VS Sandhagen fight. I thought Sandhagen did enough damage to maybe get him the win, although he really needs to work on not giving the back so easily. Dillashaw gained a lot of respect tonight, although I didn't think much of his takedowns, I know Cory popped his knee in the leg lock in round one, however he needs to be securing more takedowns not just pressing up against the cage. Especially, when hes not doing any damage on the side of the cage.

Ruined my accumulator as I had Sandhagen for the decision at 5.00, and that's probably why I'm a little bias towards sandhagen winning, however it was a very close fight, and I don't think its a robbery at all.

[Bttzed03]

^ Agree that you can't really complain much about the judging/scoring mainly because it's done on a round per round basis. Nevertheless, TJ did a good job making the adjustments despite his popped knee as the fight went on. Those cuts on him are nasty though.

TJ is asking for a title fight next but I think we might see an immediate rematch.

edit: I just wanna give credit to TJ's tough chin and durable face I also want to add that it was a mistake for Cory to go for that take down late in R3. I think that was crucial for the other two judges.

[YuginKadoya]

Cory Sandhagen vs TJ Dillashaw

I was really shocked by the decision, I really think Cory Sandhagen should win that in my perspective, I think it is a robbery that first round might be a good round for Cory Sandhagen but I think that Dillashaw landed most of the strike, but the 5th round is really absurd that 5th round clearly dominated by Cory Sandhagen, and I think this is arguable that the judge have rob Sandhagen his win, sorry about that but I really think that Cory Sandhagen should have won that,



This is the scorecard and In my opinion, if I would judge that fight this is my score for both fighters

1st Round: T.J. Dillashaw
2nd Round: Cory Sandhagen
3rd Round: T.J. Dillashaw
4th Round: Cory Sandhagen
5th Round: Cory Sandhagen

I have watched the fight and check on each strike and clearly, Cory's takedown defense was really effective against Dillashaw, but one of the judges don't really see that and clearly, they are the ones that are judging the fight so I think I can surely never argue with that and this is clearly just my opinion.

[hilariousetc]

Islam Makhachev looks like he's going to dominate the division and will probably take Khabib's crown. I could see him fighting McGregor in the future as he's expressed interest in finishing what Khabib started and the UFC can bill that as a big grudge match but I don't think Connor will be any match for him unless he drastically improves.

I've never even considered this as a possibility. That would be an interesting bout, especially since you know that Dana, and the UFC will be pushing that Khabib will want revenge if Conor manages to beat Makhachev. I'm not sure Conor would still be as relevant as he is now by the time Makhachev gets that title shot, though.

Who wouldn't want to fight Connor. Red panty night for anyone who does and fighting Islam Makhachev is the next best thing to a Khabib rematch and Khabib will probably be in Islam's corner which will add an extra bit of spice to the fight. It's probably an easy fight to make and I'm sure it will be a contender for number 1 in PPV numbers, or at least come close to the Connor/Khabib fight maybe taking second.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/mma/article-9802823/Khabib-Nurmagomedovs-protege-Islam-Makhachev-tipped-Conor-McGregor.html

Khabib Nurmagomedov's protege Islam Makhachev is tipped to take on Conor McGregor in a 'dream fight' to settle 'leftover business' between both camps - with tensions still high after a huge melee broke out in the crowd in 2018

UFC ranking has been updated and Islam Makhachev is now top5. Finally ! Finally Tony Ferguson has been moved a bit down (no offence Tony fans, but he has 3 straight losses and was in top5...) and Rafael Dos Anjos.

I think that this is going to be like this: Oliveira will fight Poirier and Poirier will win, Makhachev will fight Chandler (I think he is the weakest in top1-4) and wait (probably for a year) when Poirier will have another fight with McGregor and win. Then Poirier will either win Makhachev and defend title several times, or Makhachev will win and there will another boring-blanket champ, who will submit most of his opponent like Khabib.

Poirer will likely have another fight before Conor. I think Conor will be out for nigh-on a year now and Poirier fighting Oliveria is looking like it'll be done before the end of the year. The winner should fight Islam, and then maybe Conor can fight Poirier again and then maybe the grudge match with Islam for Connor, but maybe Islam will be champ by then so I dunno.

Hm...seems to me no one has posted the full results. Well, here they are.



The main event was not so controversial in the results as people make it out to be. This was a super hard fight to score and if it went either way I wouldn't be mad. Great performance for both and seems TJ has still got it, at least in some aspects.

It was a really close fight but they gave everything they had and it was one of the best fights in the division and TJ Dillashaw just showed is worth even after coming back after a long time and a rematch would be great and then the title shot.

^ Agree that you can't really complain much about the judging/scoring mainly because it's done on a round per round basis. Nevertheless, TJ did a good job making the adjustments despite his popped knee as the fight went on. Those cuts on him are nasty though.

I have no complaints about the judging in the fight against Cory Sandhagen and TJ Dillashaw but the i could not understand which fight the judges were watching when Miranda Maverick
and Maycee Barber were fighting as it was clearly won by Miranda Maverick.

TJ is asking for a title fight next but I think we might see an immediate rematch.

edit: I just wanna give credit to TJ's tough chin and durable face I also want to add that it was a mistake for Cory to go for that take down late in R3. I think that was crucial for the other two judges.

A rematch would be great and TJ Dillashaw was always durable in his division unless he decides to cut weight and go down .

Well, I got a problem with it, but still, it is a very hard to predict fight and I surely can not blame the judges it seems the fight is super fast to watch and there is a different angle that the judges might not see so it is all goods even though Cory Sandhagen lost in the decision but both fighters really did their best and still congrats for both fighters who did their all,

I have no complaints about the judging in the fight against Cory Sandhagen and TJ Dillashaw but the i could not understand which fight the judges were watching when Miranda Maverick
and Maycee Barber were fighting as it was clearly won by Miranda Maverick.

There seem many misjudgments on this event that many are complaining I would really love to complain about the Cory Sandhagen VS T.J. Dillashaw fight but again it seems that the judge doesn't see clearly from that angle that is why there are some shots that have not been counted, and maybe the Maycee Barbers VS Miranda Maverick would be the same, my pick is Maverick but Barber has won the decision, but I think Maverick is dominant with the striking, and Barber is good with takedowns, maybe the judges have pointed down that takedowns.

[tokeweed]

^  Sandhagen threw the more solid shots but the match itself could’ve gone either way.  So no bad judging there.  But I can’t the same for Barber.  I had it for Maverick 29 - 28...  The Paiva one was back and forth too.  I haven’t checked but I think either that or the main event is fight of the night.

...  Next event is kinda meh.  But looking forward to Chris Daukas and Danny Chavez.
