🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[TopTort777]

Andrei Arlovski should retire as he is knocked out several times in the past five years and he needs to stop taking this kind of damage and if he thinks he wants to still compete he need to go to other organization and try out rather than fighting in the UFC.

Doubt that he will leave UFC. He was already kicked out from UFC after 3 or 4 losses in a row. But spoke to Dana a lot asking for a return, and he took him back.

The only place where Andrei Arlovski could go is Bellator, because other organizations seems to be on a much lower level than Andrei can perform.

I thought about it but Bellator and the rest is just no comparison to the UFC.  And adding other promotional orgs would mess the thread up imo.

You can start another thread if you want tho.

No problem.
I created new separate thread for Bealltor and all other MMA organisations (except UFC)
There are some great fighters there,and we can bet on that games also

No one wants to leave the UFC because of the money they are offering and Arlovski is fighting all the fighters who wants to prove themselves to break into the top rankings and all of his losses are against fighters who wants to break in the top rankings and age is also another factor as he is fighting for a very long time.

The only place where Andrei Arlovski could go is Bellator, because other organizations seems to be on a much lower level than Andrei can perform.

One FC or Bellator would be fine as the level of competition is not that high in the heavyweight division but one shot in the glass jaw of Arlovski and the fight will be over  .

Weigh ins!  And Nick Diaz is gonna be at Nate's corner yo...  What adjustments made in between rounds should be pretty pretty interesting.

You think the fight is going to drag?

Jorge wants to finish the fight without the need of the judges' scorecard. Nate has only been stopped once which means Masvidal will have to fight really well if he wants to end the fight with a KO win.

I've watched some videos also where other fighters were asked to pick and majority of them answered Diaz if the match goes the distance.

I am expecting this fight to go the distance, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal can take big shots and they will go the distance, Masvidal has the power to stop the fight and Nate is good at ground but i am expecting this to a stand up fight.
My predictions are Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz to go over 4.5 rounds
Kelvin Gastelum vs Darren Till picking Kelvin Gastelum  to win
Stephen Thompson vs Vicente Luque picking Stephen Thompson to win
Kevin Lee vs Gregor Gillespie picking Gregor Gillespie to win as Kevin Lee will gas out  .

Assuming the fight goes longer than three rounds, I expect the first two or three rounds to be a stand up. Nate will try to mix things up once he sees Jorge's gas tank fades in the championship rounds. Jorge hasn't really been met a volume puncher with a good ground game, excellent cardio plus tough chin. Nate on the other had faced a lot of strikers already.

What do you mean by 'it's gonna drag'?  'Gonna be a drag'?  Like it's gonna be boring?  Nope.  It's gonna be a real fight (I hope).

But drag, as in 'goes the distance' then maybe.  Over 4.5 rounds is at 1.75ish.

Nate Diaz vs Jorge

Prediction : Round 2 - Jorge knock out Diaz

[tokeweed]

^  Diaz via 4th round submission.  I mean if you gotta bet some props.  

Edit:  Share your picks guys.  I know most of you don't bet but it's still good to show your picks and tell everybody why...

"goes the distance"

"boring" never crossed my mind. I mean, we can't associate that word with these two strikers.

This are my predictions for upcomming UFC matches

Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz           
Kelvin Gastelum vs Darren Till           
Derrick Lewis vs Blagoy Ivanov           
Kevin Lee vs Gregor Gillespie
Corey Anderson vs Johnny Walker           

Looks like they are all very interesting matches, and risky for betting.
I think Derrick Lewis and Kevin Gastelum should win more easy than others.

1st round technical knockout by Corey Anderson. Johnny Walker overhyped by Dana similar to a ICO pumper pumping his token to dump on its fans hehehe.

[Bttzed03]

Masvidal won! Diaz was tough as hell (as expected) but doctor says it's enough punishment after 3 brutal rounds. If it was another fighter, that would have been a KO. The more superior striker won.

[TopTort777]

Jorge surprized everyone. I thought Nate would finish him, but that wont be an easy fight. Not Masvidal turned to be a “die hard”

And as expected, Arlovsky and his crystal chin was KO in a first round with a punch. It took only 29sec to put him to sleep... At this age Andrei should trully consider to retire.

Blood don't hurt and he also has a knee injury about three weeks ago. That's the reason Nate Diaz said during postfight interview and he wants a rematch. I think it's a good way to see him fight in good condition and prove that he still has the fight in him.

I was expecting Corey Anderson to win the fight but i never expecting a knock out and all the hype trains challenging Jon Jones are not even reaching that level and getting defeated quite easily, if you look back all the fighters that challenged Jones lost already now  .
Andrei Arlovski slept once again but the most disappointing loss for me is Kelvin Gastelum as i was expecting Gastelum to win the fight against Till.
Kevin Lee was another surprise as i did not expect a first round knockout and he is the super star of the show.

With how the match ended, a rematch would make sense for Dana. They should do it in Vegas where doctors would allow Nate to fight even if he looks busted up.

The fact that Nate was still standing after the 3-round beating could have affected Masvidal's thinking also going to the 4th and 5th rounds had the match continued. Who knows what could have happened but we know Nate will still be swinging like it's the first round because of his gas tank.

[notblox1]

Kind a stupid way to end the fight Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz.
Masvidal was better, but doctors stop the fight in 3rd round.
Cut on Nate Diaz was not that bad to stop this fight!

It's doctors dude, they should secure the fighter's health before anything else. Of course as what we have seen, it's almost like it's not too bad to stop the fight but for the professionals they have seen worse for him. They are more knowledgeable in their profession and let's just respect what they have come up to.
