🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[notblox1]

Nunes is just better everywhere and she made it very clear that the loss was a fluke.  I'd bet my left nut that another match up with Nunes would be the same as what we just saw last weekend.  I mean what was everybody expecting?

Are you open to make a public bet with me about this, if fight is announced for end of this year?
I think you didn't watch this and previous fight very carefully when you can say something like this, and I am confident Nunes won't win the third fight.
This fight was won only because of good tactics made from Nunes teams, but it's going to be much more on Pena side and she is now more experienced.
Time to forget about this tow for some time, next event is starting in few days and I need to check the updates

^  I think the UFC was setting it up during the first match up between Nunes and Pena...  Harrison was at the audience and I think carrying her belt.  Lol.  Typical..  Maybe there was a dog and pony show for the fans if Nunes had won the first match. 

Anyway, here's my lottery ticket for the event.  I'm not really that confident about this one.  The top ticket should win tho.

Luque - Hill at 2.02
Add:  Oleksiejczuk - McKinney - Quinlan at 3.68
Add:  Battle - Lipski - Sakai at 23.63
Add:  Granger - Egger at 117.78
Add:  Miller - Usman at 607.96

Well, Kayla Harrison was seeing an upset that night, but it was really cleared in the 2nd match that Amanda Nunes was really sick on the 1st fight, and having trouble with her cardio back then, but Kayla Harrison is really obvious she is the one that really pushing this fight through and Dana White really doesn't give a thing about it, but if the following win from Nunes would surely spark another willingness for Harrison to fight Nunes, then why not,

Kayla has the potential but can she even go down to 135lbs?  Once she reach this weight, she'll not last fighting Nunes. She has impressive grappling record which is a plus for her.
But the fight may not happen unless Dana offers million$. She's earning much more in PFL without having some setbacks. Why she's up there holding the belt is nothing sort of a promotion I guess.

But Sad for her uncle Dana White will surely not offer millions of dollars just to see these two fight and this could be a stunt for PFL to gain more popularity because we all know that the UFC is more popular than any MMA combat sports combined if a fighter on the UFC and a fighter on PFL would fight and the winner will surely represent those fighting organizations, this is surely a risk for Dana White to accept such thing,

UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Hill

Despite main event and the fight between Sakai and Spivac I see no fights worth watching. I dont expect Santons to win. On the paper Hill looks way more better, and Santos usually looses to more or less good fighters. Dont know why, by Thiago Santos does not associate with winning to me. I dont remember him winning recently or someone big. Probably fight will go full distance and it going to be a boring one.

I also don't think this will be a much more exciting event aswell, but I am more waiting on the next event after this actually, but Still the Vicente Luque fight against Geoff Neal seems promising, but I am more after those beautiful fighting kitties that I surely would behold and for me that will be Ariane Lipski and Cory McKenna, that will surely light up the fire,

Tell you what..  Let's have a friendly bet.  If ever a third match between Nunes and Pena is organized by the UFC this year and if I'm still in a sig campaign, I'll pay you 20 bucks if Pena wins and if Nunes wins you put 'tokeweed is a UFC betting GOD' in your personal text.  

I think that's a fair enough bet between two regs of the UFC info and prediction thread.

But really, I don't think a third match will be made by the UFC.  I heard that Pena has been campaigning for a third match in Rogan.  And she's been saying Nunes is a 'coward' if she doesn't take it.    I dunno man..  Pena drank her own kool aid after the first fight, now she's all just crazy talk.

[Welsh]

I actually missed a lot of the last card because of life. So, I'll be rewatching it before this weekends event, and I'll give my two cents, since it seems some betting veterans are divided on the opinion above, which tells me it was some fight.

I had Nunes going into the fight, and I generally think she's the most rounded of the two fighters, that's obviously not saying that Pena is in any way bad at what she does. Nunes has just been so dominant for so long, it's hard to discount her, when she's just lost recently, and obviously won again on the weekend.

You for a fact opened this thread and made it to  more than 300 pages sounds like a UFC betting GOD already. But sure that's a good friendly bet for you both.
I also thought that Pena can redo what she did by gassing out Nunes and then keep throwing her jabs. In the 2nd fight however she isn't effective. I thought she learn the jabs like how Moreno can do that almost can't be seen coming.

UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Hill cards is uninteresting to me. I'd just skip this one but will be watching still.

In december 2021, when Pena won, it was one of the biggest UFC upsets, as Pena was one of the biggest underdogs with +7 odds, and she has managed to win. Back in December, when Nunes lost, she did not looked like she was totally declassed. Since then, both Pena and Nunes did not have other fights, and now you are discussing like both are identically skilled, both had chances to win, both has strong sides. How can in half a year, a total underdog with +7 odds turned into a being close to a champion? Did Pena improved that much or Nunes became worse? Or women UFC is very unstable ?

I believe the speculation was that Nunes was distracted due to other things going on in her life, I believe at that time she was just returning after giving birth? I'm not sure what sort of impact that might've had, but it's probably worth considering.

Anyhow, they're both clearly skilled, and if they matched up 10 times in a row, you'd likely see both fighters get a fair share of wins. That's MMA for you. Boxing is totally different, but that's why you see odds like 1.01 to 15.00. You don't get that in MMA, especially the UFC. So, of course anyone on the day is capable of winning. I do believe though, that Nunes gets the better of Pena in the majority of those fights. At least at their current levels.

Thanks for fair offer, but win or lose I won't write on my profile that you or anyone else in forum is a God 
My counter offer if third fight is set to happen this year, we can talk in private and set exact terms and public bet for winner.
We can set exact amount of money, maybe 50 or 100 USD worth of Bitcoin directly sent to your wallet or Sportsbet account.
Do you agree?

I actually missed a lot of the last card because of life. So, I'll be rewatching it before this weekends event, and I'll give my two cents, since it seems some betting veterans are divided on the opinion above, which tells me it was some fight.

Main event deserved to be watched again, but I would recommend that you should check out Brandon Moreno vs Kai Kara-France.
That can serve you as small warm up for this weekend upcoming fight card.

I believe the speculation was that Nunes was distracted due to other things going on in her life, I believe at that time she was just returning after giving birth?

I don't think Amanda Nunes was ever pregnant so there was nothing to recover from.
Nina Ansaroff had baby and father was some donor.

I will not argue that you really are a UFC betting GOD, but I will not put it on my Personal Text, but I can always put it in my post as a (NOTE:) that you are indeed a UFC betting GOD,

Well, I guess we will not see any Nunes VS Peña this year for a while, and right now because of the event UFC 277 recently they said they will suspend a list of fighters that compete in the UFC 277 because of certain injuries sustained and this is the list of them, courtesy of MMA Junkie:

• Amanda Nunes: Suspended 45 days
• Julianna Pena: Suspended 60 days
• Brandon Moreno: Suspended 45 days
• Kai Kara France: Suspended 60 days
• Sergei Pavlovich: Suspended 30 days
• Derrick Lewis: Suspended 30 days

Lezzz gooo!  Let's go for max value and bet 100 bucks each sent directly to our wallets, whoever wins.  If you win I give you 100, if I win your give me 100.  And here's the thing...  How long do we have to wait?  I'm pretty sure it won't happen this year but it could happen next year.  So bet is on until early 2024 or do you really want to wait?    I'm ok with whatever you want.

I mean I really hope the fight happens before Nunes retires.  She was lightning up Pena and knocking her down 3 - 4 times in the rematch.

Anyway...  Here's the Multi Master guys.

Make your betting competition as an NFT. We are all crypto fans, so lets use modern technologies   this will be even better. Because someone might join your challenge.

Frankly, I dont know how to do it technically, but creating an NFT for your challenge is a must. Sending 100 bucks to each other wallets is a past century. Perhaps, make an nft, make an action 1 year long, make its value 100$, place bets. Something like that.

Please, dont make it boring with sending 100$ to a wallet, and who ever wins, gets a privatekey.

P.s. You will definitely gonna need an escrow for that 

[Z-tight]

I have opined previously that i believe Nunes is the better of the two fighters, but what i'd not agree to is people trying to call Pena's first win over her as a fluke, or trying their possible best to bring up an excuse as to why she lost, Nunes lost, and Pena won and that is exactly that, in sports anyone can make excuses when they lose, some of the excuses may not even be true. I do not see people making excuses for Pena now she lost the second fight, it is easy to make one, that is not so cool if you ask me. Pena won the first fight, Nunes won the second, in the history of the MMA, Nunes outclasses Pena, but between them, it is a tie that only a trilogy can settle who's better.

Huh?  You want to make another bet vs him yourself?    You go on ahead with that...  You could do that with your NFT bet idea.  I'm happy with receiving a win in the 'past century' way in cold hard BTC, thanks very much.  And I couldn't use the NFT to make a bet on something else.  With BTC it's as easy as sending it to my favorite book and start making my bets.

Weigh ins will start in 45 mins or so guys.  Let's see how these fighters look on the scale.

All good, Bitcoin sent to wallet of the winner.
I am OK with $100 with all the rules we agreed, but let's limit time period for the end of year 2022, so if fight happens until then our bet stands.
Next year 2023 is not so far away but in next year we should revise out rules and confirm if we agree or not, so anyone can choose to accept or refuse.

Sorry, but I am not interested in nft in this case.
You are free to create your event and other people may join if they want, but not me.

I suggest to pay attention to Augusto Sakai against Sergey Spivak fight. Sakai was on a good series, until he faced Overeem. Now he has 3 straight looses, this fight is going to be his sixth in UFC and his contract ends. He will either do his best to get a new contract, or will get back to his work at aquarium store.

Well, what kind of NFT would he want? but I think it is only TopTork777's suggestion, but for me, I would also want to receive BTC, then with an NFT, but it may be a great experience to get an NFT but for me, it will be a remembrance only thing, I haven't bought or sold some NFT pictures that is pretty much high in value, it is just a given idea and would surely take time and effort to make, so why not in Crypto payment instead, but again it is a great idea and a great memory to have,

Well, it is sad to see an athlete go, but for Augusto Sakai, if he lost this match again I think it is not bad to let go, this will be his 4th consecutive loss, but he surely has a good 4 consecutive wins on his debut to the UFC, so I think it is not bad but well against non-rank fighters because if he continues he would likely to be just in the bottom of the ranking for the Heavyweights but Sergey Spivak could be a decent fight for him, and he might have a chance against him in my opinion,

[TopTort777]

Remember I have told you that this autumn gonna be awesome? Welsh gonna like that - on the UFC 281 Istael Adesanya gonna face Alex Pereira   Revenge is comming. Or Pereira gonna prove once again that he is the best kickboxer on that weight division. This is going to be one of the toughest fights for Izzy.

Or Pereira gonna prove once again that he is the best kickboxer on that weight division. This is going to be one of the toughest fights for Izzy.

It's great to see Pereira getting his title shot with only a few UFC fights. There is no need to have a 5 or more win streak in the UFC to get a title shot. I would love to see Shavkat Rakhmonov fighting a top 5 in his next fight and be given a title fight next year.

Back into the fight. Izzy became a better fighter in the UFC but I still believe Pereira is the bigger and stronger guy. My bet is on Pereira.

It's not a real shocker that Pereira get a title shot after just 3 fights in the UFC. First, he's 2 out of 3 wins have been exciting with flashy finishes. Secondly, there's a narative, a story to their match. So the two most important factors for UFC matchmaking have been met and I am confident that the UFC had a fight with Izzy in mind when they signed Pereira, they just needed a couple of wins to make it legit.

I was shocked to see this, and I really haven't thought that this fight is too soon, it was an early fight, after all, I surely know that we can eventually see this fight soon but for this early and on UFC 281 Santa has given us an early present, because it is on November 13, I really thought that Alex Pereira would have another match before the Israel Adesanya match, and I am thinking that we will be getting this next year, actually, for now, I am torn between again and I don't know who I am going to pick and because both surely can win and that is how good these two are, I am out of prediction analysis, but will be watching their last kickboxing match and look at their UFC highlights, and compare that, for now, I am out of it but excited at the same time,

Yeah! surely the UFC or Dana White is preparing for this fight to really happen I even think that it was really set up to make a shift in the domination of Israel Adesanya and we will surely see if Israel Adesanya really coop up from his previous loss from their kickboxing match, but if I were you I will not underestimate Israel Adesanya for now, if you would look at Izzy's previous fights he surely has a decent record but his previous fights might be not exciting as his old ones for some of the people here, but for me in a technical point of view I really like his style that is why he is called the style bender,
