One of this fighters will have a chance to go back on top and Johnny Walker is not impressed with UFC champ Jan Blachowicz, but I don't think he will pass by Thiago Santos.
This is going to be All-Brazilian fight and Johnny Walker is promising people will see something new from him, and he improved English language skills:

What about this guy? He is the only one who KO'ed stylebender. Now he is in UFC. He wont get a title fight immediately, but there are high chances that these two will meet.

I did post something about this when the news broke I believe. I think in a flat out kickboxing match up, then he probably does have a decent chance. Although, he's entering the MMA world, and I feel like he's just going to get bullied in the grappling, and wrestling department. I doubt he will ever reach the position that he could face off against Adesanya. Though, who really knows I haven't seen his skills past the kickboxing, he might be like Adesanya where his take down defense is good. IF that's the case then we could have a potential grudge fight on our hands, which I'm all for. I'd love some competition in the division for Adesanya, things are very close to becoming stale.

Personally, if I was Adesanya, and I did have to fight him. I wouldn't be kickboxing him, I'd be taking him down, and trying to get some GnP. There's just too much risk, and with him getting knocked out by him before, and the only one there might be some self doubt in there. So, I would absolutely concentrate on welcoming him to the MMA world by mixing it up a little.

Came across funny picture today. Cant resist not to share

This is spot on imho. Bobby Knuckles just needs baggier pants.

In other news. This is really interesting, one of the best matchups I have seen in a while. Might as well be the main event. Even though I give Makachev the advantage, I think Hooker will give him a run for his money.

[Welsh]

I'd go with a decision win for Machachev, I just don't see Hooker dealing with the grappling, and isn't likely to get the knockout which I think his is only chance of winning that fight. As for the Thiago Santos vs Johnny Walker fight, I'll always put a cheeky bet on Thiago knockout out his opponent. Especially, when he has more rounds to do it. I think the Kevin Holland vs Kyle Daukaus fight is an interesting one, it'll be interesting to see how Kevin performs against a big puncher, but it'll also be interesting to see if Kyle Daukaus tries to take it to the mat considering Holland's weakness down there.

On paper this weekend's event is one of the better one's though I always find the relatively unknown fighters on cards are always the most exciting, and the most anticipated ones are somewhat uneventful in comparison.

Finally Makhachev has an opponent. But if Makhachev wins, he wont get a higher place in top or wont be mandatory challenger for a title fight.

There's just too much risk, and with him getting knocked out by him before, and the only one there might be some self doubt in there. So, I would absolutely concentrate on welcoming him to the MMA world by mixing it up a little.

Alex Pereira is familiar with MMA, but his record and experience are not as huge as Adesanyas. Press mention that Pereira is signed to UFC, but he continues to perform in kickboxing. Even if he will start to fight in UFC, years will pass till he will have a fight against Adesanya. Pereira mush have a series of victories and Adesanya must lose several times - this is the only scenario when they can meet in the octagon.

I am interested, but sportsbet.io is banned in my country. I can use VPN just to make a registration, but doubt that it is allowed and registration form asked be for a UK mobile number.

^ ^  Makhachev all day.  That guy is just on another level and will dominate 155 just like Khabib did. 

Who do you guys got for this weekend’s event?  I got just a couple of bets.  Johnny Walker at 2.40, follow at your own risk.  Lol.  And a safe two leg parlay with Niko Price to win coupled with fight doesn’t go the distance for the main event at 1.92.

Not easy fights to predict but I am going for Thiago Santos in main event, but Walker have big reach advantage and he is younger so it won't be big surprise if he wins.
Surprise win is possible in co-main event, Kyle Daukaus is underdog but I am not confident in Kevin Holland.

Listen to Jon Jones 911 Police Audio Before Domestic Battery Arrest, confirming his fiancee was bloody but she refused to confirm it was domestic assault, that looks like she was afraid of Jones:

[tokeweed]

^  You’re right!  Daukas could potentially be a good spot.  Depending on if Holland has already worked on his TD defense.  If not, Daukas will have a field day on top of Holland looking for subs.  But it could be competitive.  Holland is a black bet in BJJ too.

[YuginKadoya]

We might wait for a long time before we would see Adesanya again. The reason is simple - virus. You know its name, the one all sport is in deep ass right now - covid-19. With all these restrictions, it is hard for him to get to the US. So far it is majority of the UFC events are on he US territory and fighters from New Zealand need a visa to get there. Not mentioning all these 10-14 days lockdown periods. His teammate, Dan Hooker, who has fought last weekend, had a lot of troubles getting a visa.

As the Pandemic and all the restriction gets worst many fights that will be held in places that are high in traveling restriction may surely postpone some fights or they can even hold it in a different place like the fight island in  United Arab Emirates but certainly Dana White would not really want to just move certain people for one fight only that will surely eat up rerouces, but certainly I think this is the best option for an event to just continue.

It’s also in the op for like over a couple of months now.  I’ve been adding sites as soon as I see if they’re good.  Anyway, I encourage every reg in the thread to keep looking at stats, the betting market and watch the events.  That way we could basically work together and find which spots are good.

Betting market site:  https://www.bestfightodds.com/

^  That’s useful for optics and the lines are well organized and easy to find.

Oh! Sorry not looking back on the OP nowadays but as you have said I will likely find myself always looking for your update, and that this UFC prediction thread is not just a thread for me but a daily dose of entertainment aswell and especially with great guys giving their different discussions and suggestion about what is new and what may have happened in one event, so thank you.

[YuginKadoya]

Thiago Santos vs. Johnny Walker

I guess Johnny Walker has a stylistic style that can surely pressure Thiago Santos, but I think that Thiago Santos has durability with his chin to withstand strikes from Walker and I can not say the same with Johnny Walker if Santos could catch him and land a strike on him this could end Walker, I really think that this is not going for the distance and a lot of fans are betting that it could be a TKO and I think I agree, odds for this fight is 1.65 for Thiago Santos and 2.30 for Johnny Walker that is why I will go with the hype and I really like Thiago Santos personality that why my pick is Thiago Santos.

Antonina Shevchenko vs. Casey O'Neill

For this, I surely don't have any clue about Shevchenko and I am pretty skeptical if she is a pure striker or turning to be grappler because there are fights that but Shevchenko is good at striking, and for Casey O'neil she is a better grappler but not that good with striking but I may be wrong because she might improve that with her training and could get on par with Antonina Shevchenko, and if she does then she is an all-rounder for this event, but she is a good Grappler in this division, and so the odds are, 2.85 for Antonina Shevchenko and 1.45 for Casey O'Neill, I really like the fight on the ground for O'Neill and I think this is what will pressure Shevchenko that is why I will go with Casey O'Neil with this pick.

I'd go with a decision win for Machachev, I just don't see Hooker dealing with the grappling, and isn't likely to get the knockout which I think his is only chance of winning that fight.

Yup, this seems like one Makachev will win, but I'm thinking Hooker will drain him out. It's good to test Makhachev with some tougher opone4nts, and even if this does not bring him closer to a title fight, it will boost up his stock, and at this point of his career, that might be more important than a title shot.

[TopTort777]

^ ^  Makhachev all day.  That guy is just on another level and will dominate 155 just like Khabib did. 

If only UFC will let him to dominate. So far nobody wants to fight him. It is really hard to find an opponent for him. And he is already 30 years old. Like Khabib told, Makhachev will be in his best shape for more 2-3 years. But with 1-3 fight per years, he might not be in best shape till he will get to a title fight.

Who are on top above Makhachev right now? Oliveira, Gaethje, Chandler, Poirier. I think these four will fight among each other first, till UFC will organize a fight for Makhachev with them. This will be 1-1.5 years of waiting. Dont forget about Conor. UFC might give him a chance for a title fight. Then you can easily add another half a year of waiting.

I am so sick and tired, or even feel angry when fighters say "I dont want to fight him. Fighting with him wont give me anything". Nobody wants to fight a guy that is lower in top, but a closer to them. And they avoid contracts and select fighters frop top10 and below. For example Gaethje wants to fight only Oliveira, or Thiago Moises (top15 place), but want to skip everyone between top3-top10).

[tokeweed]

^  I think after Hooker, if he wins, he’d then be matched up with the winner of Gaethje vs Chandler.  And if he wins that, then the title.  Poirier is kinda out of the mix for the time being for choosing a McGregor trilogy.  And with the money he made, we won’t be seeing him for a little while.  Lol.

Anyway, Aspen Ladd is out.   She looked really bad at weigh in.  She couldn’t stand on her own.  This happened twice to her now.

Thiago Santos vs. Johnny Walker is gonna be a match fight. i'm a fan of walker though, he is also bigger than Santos. it's just a matter of who gets to throw and hit hard and throw a volume of punches after. i'm not seeing this fight to end on the ground so someone must really drop dead.

Antonina Shevchenko vs. Casey O'Neill, the young O'Neill is likely to win but i'm not betting in this fight. been following Kevin Big mouth so will also bet for him. he has to win this time, it's going to be 3rd time. Dana will give up on him if he continues to lose, this got to be a motivation for him to win.

Yup! it will surely be a striking match between these two, and this will be a fight on who's going to throw a devastating blow, and who's the volume puncher, many will be betting with the TKO/KO win and both fighters have a tendency to really takeout his opponent with a KO/TKO.

I want to bet on the match that I think I am sure about, so I will be betting with O'Neill winning this if not with submission with TKO/OK if her striking improves a lot this time.

[notblox1]

UFC fight night is starting early this time and prelims have some interesting fights with Antonina Shevchenko vs Casey O'Neill that has perfect 7-0 record.
I think main event should not be missed, Johnny Walker looked very focused during face-offs, and I am still not sure who will win tonight.

[7788bitcoin]

My predictions for the event,  Shanna Young, Devonte Smith, Casey O’Neil, Karol Rosa,  Joe Solecki, Alexander Hernandez, Misha Cirkunov and i am not expecting Alex Oliveira vs Niko Price to go the distance, then we have Kevin Holland fighting again but i am going with Kyle Daukaus.

The main even is a big confusing to pick. I expect it to be a great fight. I want to go with Thiago Santos.

[TheNineClub]

And we have the full results



Santos did himself no favors by having an uneventful decision to fight against Walker. I mean, he won, but you know you have to do something a bit extra to make the UFC brass do favorable matchmaking in the future. Also, O’Malley vs. Paiva was added to UFC 269. O'Malley is moving at a snail's pace with his career XD

[bbc.reporter]

Antonina Shevchenko might be very insecure to be the big sister of Valentina the goat UFC champion of the women’s flyweight division. It might be similar to being the older brother of Elon Musk, however, the older brother’s business is only a furniture shop hehehehe.
