🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[YuginKadoya]

^  It won't be boring if you place some bets here and there...  

The last round got Jacare.  If it weren't for that final exchange, the split decision would've went to his favor.  IMHO.  

Yup! I agree it will not be boring if they have placed a bet on it, I think the excitement will be on the thrill of really watching it when there is risk involved and apparently Jan Blachowicz does win and I think that is a thrilling fight because Souza had put a great fight,

Well, Regarding the main event Mauricio Rua VS Paul Craig that turns out in a Draw and Antonio Arroyo VS Kevin Holland fight that gets canceled I guess the main wasn't that bad but in my opinion, there is not much excitement to it but pretty much it is a great deal of a fight.

[eaLiTy]

Paul Craig fought really well and he took this fight in a short notice and the real opponent for Shogun Rua was Sam Alvey  but he got replaced due to injury and looking at the fight i would like to see the rematch and Paul Craig with a full camp and then Charles Oliveira impressed with his knockout performance and i would like to see him face Edson Barboza or Al Iaquinta next.

Ben Askren just announced he is retiring from MMA because of his hip issues
that requiere from him to perform hip replacement surgery!

All the best to Askren.

All the hype and trash talk just got derailed and he was not even able to showcase his skills in the biggest organisation and his desire to come back after retirement from OneFC and even before fighting the elight fighters he was making huge plans to capture the belt and facing GSP and Khabib at 165 and now he announced his retirement, i thought he will be able to have a good fight with someone as he was calling out everybody but nothing happened and now he is gone .

Bummer...  The UFC would've been better with him around (and successful)...  Imagine him trolling the likes of beasts like Khabib and Usman.

Yeah it would be fun
He would probably lose easy from any other fighter in UFC as his 3 previous fights.
I guess his time has passed, and he learned that UFC is not the same level as other MMA organisations

It would have been great to see Ben Askren around as he brought some freshness to the division and yet another loss he knew it will be hard for him to fight for the title anytime soon and that was the reason he came back from retirement and it was great while it lasted and now the hip injury forced him to retire, even if he was not injured he would have retired as he is a smart fellow and made some wise investment and that too in crypto currency and he is vocal about it.

Pretty much he is so vocal about buying Bitcoin with Etoro and pretty sure he got plenty of response mostly negative but I like this one pretty much, it is 80% real I am saying this because of most market on Altcoin is a total scam project, So I am saying stick to a limited number only that has potential,

Well, Ben Askren will be missed and mostly he surely earns the title for the fastest knockout in the UFC history of 5 seconds but no pun intended because it is true but at least he will be getting more earnings when BTC hits another all-time high.

Ben Askren wanted to test himself inside the UFC and wanted to create history but he got in the record books for all the wrong reasons and the record for the fastest knockout will stay forever as it is not easy to break that record and in reality Ben got knocked out before that but the referee took a couple of seconds to call the fight off and that is why we have that 5 seconds. Ben is a smart investor and he was the most vocal MMA fighter when it comes to bitcoin investment and i liked his trash talking skills as it was fun.

And the trolling on Dana as well.

@SaShiRaJaVu - he faced tougher opponents in UFC and I would say that he had been exposed or it is just the injury that really forced him to retire. I guess with his BTC investments, he really know that next year will be big so rather than forcing his body to fight, he will probably sit around in the next six months and watch his BTC wallet,

I bet Ben Askren is promoting the site Etoro in this tweet, he knows how to make waves and the reason i do not fully believe what celebrities say is because they will promote anything for money, there is no debate that Askren is a crypto enthusiast but look at the way in which he promoted the site in which he purchased and i wonder how much money they paid him to promote them in social media  .

Well, Ben Askren will be missed and mostly he surely earns the title for the fastest knockout in the UFC history of 5 seconds but no pun intended because it is true but at least he will be getting more earnings when BTC hits another all-time high.

He made a lot of money outside the UFC and he is not a wild party junkie to spent all the money he made, he made wise decisions and invested in real estate and other ventures and he is a financial explorer and so is the reason he invested in BTCitcoin and i met him personally when he was contracted with OneFC and visited Dubai for a promotion and he was a cool individual back then and now he started a Bitcoin podcast called Funky Crypto.

Interesting to read that Ben Askren knows very well about Bitcoin in crypto.

Pretty much Masvidal had got that good impression regarding that 5 seconds Knock out and Ben Askren will pretty much had the bad taste in it, but that is how it does, And Joe Rogan said that he counted 3 seconds but the officials had stopped the fight during that 5 seconds count but yes that record is way too difficult to beat, But pretty much Ben Askren will be surely missed and regarding if he has good future regarding cryptocurrency well let's just wait because he will surely need many patients in cooping up with it.

Pretty much he is a business minded person but in a real estate business I guess he got a big net worth up to date, but even though he is very vocal with the cryptocurrency investment, and just like you said he just want to try out UFC but in my own impression over him this is just one point that he enters UFC but in getting popularity as well, So he can venture i his investment using his name, well just my opinion just by looking.

Crazy thoughts

Just imagine that Askren got himself KO'ed on purpose. So that his name would be on hype and he could popularize bitcoin

[bbc.reporter]

Rumble Johnson is in the news. We might have a new heavyweight champion on December 2020 if he wins his opening fight for his return in the UFC hehe.

I speculate that his return fight might be versus Francis Ngannou.



Anthony “Rumble” Johnson has a plan for his return to the Octagon, and it’s short and sweet.

Johnson has expressed interest in returning to the UFC. Back in 2017, Johnson announced his retirement following a second loss to then-UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier. “Rumble” is now shooting for a spring return in the heavyweight division, although now it could be pushed back to summer.

Having a plan of action is rarely viewed as a negative thing but when it’s as terrifying as Johnson’s, many of his potential opponents may choose to take a powder. Speaking to The Mac Life, “Rumble” made it clear that he’s looking to rearrange some faces (via MMAFighting.com).


“We have to meet with the UFC some more,” Rumble said. “We have to go over things and just figure some stuff out but it’s all looking good so far. Nothing bad. I don’t want to put my foot in my mouth and say too much but everything’s looking good right now. I’m not worried.

“I was trying to shoot for April/May but maybe June/July. We’ll see. But whenever I come back I’m going to make sure it’s known. I want to come back and showcase everything and fight and just hurt people.”

This is one hell of a crazy imagination, fighting can lead to permanent damage and no one in the right sense will go inside the cage to create a record  , if he did it for purpose then you are implying that both the fighters knew about the end and match fixing a grave accusation  . Ben was planning to win the belt in the UFC and try to become the only fighter to hold the championship belt around the globe and become undisputed champion which gives him more popularity and not by getting defeated.

Thinking that the KO'ed was on purposed I then now imagine that the fight might be fixed and Ben Askren really did ask Masvidal to plop the fight by KOing him in a faster way by just setting this record in history, Well Ben Askren motif will be just popularity, in the impending future of his plan to make Bitcoin revolutionize,

But in my opinion Ben Askren will not make this kind of rukus, and Masdival will surely not tolerate a fixed game himself and there is no honor in doing it.

If getting popular was the motive Ben Askren was more than popular throughout the world even before he came to the UFC and the fans wanted to see his skills being tested inside the major organisation and the fan requests made Diana White change his decision and allow him to fight in the UFC but i was unfortunate to see him loose two matches in a row and fighting is not easy and there is no easy fights in the UFC for top stars.

But in my opinion Ben Askren will not make this kind of rukus, and Masdival will surely not tolerate a fixed game himself and there is no honor in doing it.

Fixing is not a new phenomena and throughout history some of the top players have taken money from bookies and lost matches, honor is secondary when it comes to money to many people as it is just a sport and not a life and death situation but fighting is different as you cannot fake fighting and still there are notable scandals in fights too.

I will have to give the edge to ORTEGA in this one and I read he is the opening favorite
This fight card is not for another month out so we should focus the attention on the ones that are sooner

No way... Korean Zombie is clear favorite here for me.
It will be good fight anyway.

I posted it because most of the current fights are boring for me now.
I saw it confirmed on Twitter and I posted it here.

kef zombie ~ 1.9 allow to take away rather pinnacle until it fell

Any fighter knows that in every fight one of their foot in on the grave already, what more if they got knocked out. Try to watch the reply and you will hear how hard that knee hit the head of Askren. See how his leg twitched while he is trying to recover. Boxing coaching knows that bad and it will have a negative impact, they may not see it for now, but maybe 10 years from now Askren will feel the side effect. I don't think its worth it to flop like that just to promote any crypto asset.
