🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[YuginKadoya]

Derek Brunson by wrestle fuck basically. That's my prediction anyway. I see it going similar to how Brunson, and Holland went. Except Till will probably at least put in some effort. The shore fight is probably the one I'm looking forward to the most, but I think the main event will probably be a snooze fest. I'll put my predictions up later tonight, but at the moment here's my thoughts.

Shore by points
Derek Brunson by points
Tom Aspinal by points
Martinez vs Rojo not going the distance.

I'm hoping that Tom Aspinal proves some of the doubters wrong by winning a decision. It'll be nice to see him display that he can do it. Shore I'm going with because of the Welsh connection, but I genuinely believe it'll be a very close point decision going either way.

Darren Till will surely put a fight even though he isn't that active inside the Octagon for a year but he can still put massive damage with his striking in my opinion, and for me, it is weird that Derek Brunson has focused on his wrestling even though he is great with his striking against the Robert Whittaker fight but he has a glass chin that can sure be exposed, that is why I think he had honed his wrestling so much right now, and I really don't know if that could be effective for Darren Till but I will surely go with a well-rounded fighter and that's Derek Brunson.

To be fair, the best way to beat a striker is to wrestle them. You see it a lot; where the superior striker is so worried about the take down, they don't strike effectively, and therefore the wrestler ends up out striking them. I've talked about this before, and I absolutely still believe that this is the case generally. Especially, when it's a out, and out wrestler vs striker. Darren Till will perform decently I imagine, and it'll definitely be better than the Holland match which was straight up embarrassing. However, I don't think he's got enough take down defense, and ground game to actually take the win.

[Bttzed03]

I've been looking at some clips of Paddy Pimblett. I'm not yet convinced about his talent but I hope he does well in his UFC debut. Although I haven't place a bet, I still pick him to win.


Jonathan Martinez missed weight by 2 lbs. You are still at preliminary card and you mess it up at the weigh ins, what a way to make an impression.

[buwaytress]

Derek Brunson by wrestle fuck basically.

My favourite for "short and sweet prediction of the week" award. I went for Brunson myself, but only because I've switched strategy in UFC currently to the underdog martingale after a string of losses backing favourites.

I'm hoping that Tom Aspinal proves some of the doubters wrong by winning a decision. It'll be nice to see him display that he can do it. Shore I'm going with because of the Welsh connection, but I genuinely believe it'll be a very close point decision going either way.

Hoping you're wrong here, I got Spivak on 3.2, anytime you give me 3x on UFC it looks like a deal. Stats-wise they look absolutely equal save neglible height, weight, age difference, and was a short-notice replacement but I always like it when they give the wild card "bad" odds. If he takes Aspinal the distance though, it'd be achievement enough.

[YuginKadoya]

Darren Till will surely put a fight even though he isn't that active inside the Octagon for a year but he can still put massive damage with his striking in my opinion, and for me, it is weird that Derek Brunson has focused on his wrestling even though he is great with his striking against the Robert Whittaker fight but he has a glass chin that can sure be exposed, that is why I think he had honed his wrestling so much right now, and I really don't know if that could be effective for Darren Till but I will surely go with a well-rounded fighter and that's Derek Brunson.

However, I don't think he's got enough take down defense, and ground game to actually take the win.

I also think that the fight may end up like that, and yes wrestlers just like Khabib will surely put down the momentum of a striker and they can pressure strikers with their takedowns, and I really like Derek Brunson because he is a well-rounded fighter, he is able to switch to a striking and wrestling mode, and another point that I think why Derek Brunson could win this is because Darren Till had a 1-year break from UFC, and I don't really think if he is good enough in winning this.

Martinez vs Rojo got cancelled.  Martinez had a really bad weight cut and wouldn’t be able to fight.

And I think if you’re going to pick Aspinall it’s better to take him inside the distance.  Matches he’s won end early and his loses all ended with a finish.

Guys you should tune in to Live UFC fight night prelims that started earlier than usual, it is late morning in Las Vegas and night time in Europe.
Pay attention for fight Modestas Bukauskas vs Khalil Rountree it should be fireworks and potential to see someone winning by KO.
For young Paddy Pimblett this is first fight in UFC and he is facing Luigi Vendramini in interesting Lightweight category fight.

This are my main picks for tonight:
Derek Brunson and Tom Aspinall both to win.

Did we ever comment on this?? LOL

I love Derek from MPMD, and he knows what he is talking about. Well, no one should be surprised about this, it's not like anyone believes he made a non-enhanced recovery that fast after his leg injury. The only one still hiding it is Anderson himself XD

That was really shameful for Martinez and this is just because of the miss weight-in currently a thing he can not do something about it, but what really happens? Well, I really don't know and may wait for further information,

Right now the match between Derek Brunson VS Darren Till, I still don't change the fact that Brunson will win this I have assimilated what may happen with the fight and Brunson will surely distract Till with takedowns and will try to distract him on his momentum.

[Bttzed03]

Another good betting day for me. I thought Till was done in the first round but he did well surviving the ground and pound. He got careless after he landed some good shots in round 3 and choked out seconds later Brunson challenging Adesanya after that but I don't think he has what it takes yet. I hope he gets the chance before he retires though. The man's 37 already.

[bbc.reporter]

Similar to the data of Jared Cannonier’s takedown defense that appears low because of the different weight divisions, Darren Till’s data on his takedown defense appears high because much of his fights were in welterweight where he was much bigger than other fighters. Brunson might have lowered this by a few percentage hehe.

[buwaytress]

Absolutely spot on with your Brunson wrestle fuck @Welsh! And happy to cash in on my outright at 2.55, beautiful end to my week. Did lose a smaller outlay against Aspinall, that guy's punches didn't disappoint, that 1st round TKO will boost his reputation no doubt but I'm overall in nice profit from these two fights, so no complaints.

Watched the Kim/McCann fight highlights too -- both took home bonuses -- still not so convinced there's much to watch in the women's though, all due respect.

[YuginKadoya]

Derek Brunson VS Darren Till

I absolutely love the match and how Derek Brunson executed it all, very patient with his striking and have the power on his left punch, and what I like is the fake with his takedown it seems that he is going for the takedown, and Darren Till really is caught off guard because Brunson suddenly switches on striking mode, This is the opportunity that for Brunson that he can execute an easy takedown on Till, but Till can surely do his best if he had back up his faints more but he just let Brunson swayed it out, but Derek Brunson is much stronger than Till, I really think it was total domination, Darren, Till never really fought a much bigger and stronger wrestler than Brunson and that is a big factor why Till losses.

[why]

It appears the MMA news media outlets are hyping Paddy the Baddy Pimblett. According to some of those articles, he is being endorsed by the notorious one Conor McGregor and also implies that he might be the next Conor McGregor.
Pimblett has often been compared to McGregor throughout his rise to prominence.
On Tuesday, another fan did so on social media and McGregor responded by wishing ‘The Baddy’ well and reminiscing about his time in Liverpool for the Grand National in 2017, while also taking a shot at Michael Bisping.
Pimblett recently revealed he is hoping to one day square off against McGregor at Anfield Stadium – the home of Liverpool Football Club.
“An Irishman versus a Scouser. I feel like that would be fucken rowdy. That would be next level. It would be ridiculous, to be honest.”
“He’s [Conor McGregor] a money type of guy. And fighting an Anfield in front of like 60-70,000 people is where the money’s at,” Pimblett added. “So, that’s why I could see that happening. But anyone. It doesn’t matter. Like, I’m going to be that big of a star that you could fucking put me in there against a hobo and I’d fill it out.”

He certainly has the confidence hehehe.

the kid Paddy had hyped himself since that every time he wins he jumps to the crowd acting like he personally knew them just as a politician waving and pointing to the crowd while nodding. he certainly has his own way of hyping himself but he isn't an accurate hitter though.  if Connor doesn't have an injured leg, he can knock this kid standing in front of him.

Why you are taking Conor McGregor as an example? he is not a world-class player at all, I've seen his fight with Khabib. McGregor is always aggressive and jumps on the opponent after personal anger. He performs in a bad mood and in a weird type of game, there is no doubt, McGregor is a stigma of the UFC.

Paddy has his own style of play, and he doesn't foul as much as McGregor, he's certainly an upcoming superstar but not a foul player like McGregor.

Ohh Yah! Connor McGregor is one of the most financially successful players in the UFC. He is a mixed martial artist, and you know he is the second mixed martial artist to be the UFC's featherweight and lightweight champion at the same time. He is one of the best UFC strikers. There is a talk that no one can tolerate McGregor's left-hand strike, you know? UFC's top five paperviews are in his possession. One of them is a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, he was paid $100million to play the match, you know? Can you show me any single player who has won such an amount at a single match in his entire UFC life?

In Connor vs Khabib match, Khabib got favor cause he was young and had good strength but there is no player as skilled as McGregor. You don't like McGregor that doesn't mean he is not World-Class Player.

Do you really know what you are saying? or just spouting bias on McGregor? Well we all know how good of a fighter Conor McGregor is and yes he surely establishes his career in the world of UFC and yeah maybe financially successful with it but regarding the skilled player, on the other hand, I can say that Dustin Poirier is more skilled in my opinion, and the Connor VS Khabib fight you are saying that Khabib Nurmagomenodov just got the favored in being young and had good strength? There might be a 1-year gap with their age but I think McGregor has his own strength Khabib Nurmagomenodov is just dominating his wrestling over Connor, we all saw that Khabib Nurmagomenodov really won 100% and that is not because of the favor, I think if they would have a rematch the result will always be the same.

Edit: and that $100 Million matches were just for show, that is an entirely new thing for him, and entering a jungle that he can not really win although he surely gets a lot of payment regarding that fight in my opinion is a controversial.

[tokeweed]

The only bet that I made was the Jack Shore match over 2.5 rounds.  Lol.  Martinez vs Rojo was cancelled and I was gonna live bet Spivak if it went past R1..  I leaned Brunson but I didn’t pull the trigger.  But congrats Welsh!

And I feel bad for Till.  There were three fighters from Liverpool in this event.  He’s the only guy who didn’t win.

I kinda like Aspinal now.  He’s one of the realest people in the roster.  Watch his post fight press conference.

I don't blame you for not going all-in with the main event. Even though Till is on the losing streak, I honestly consider him a real threat in the division and someone that can win a fight you would never give to him. I don't know how his career will go from here on, but I wouldn't completely count him out just yet.

[Bttzed03]

Who is following Dana's contender series? If you have picks, please drop some insights. I just felt bored because the next fight night will be happening in two weeks

No doubt he still has the power and the striking skills to KO anyone. Maybe he should try to evolve his game? I think he still has time to develop a more well-rounded style.
