🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

Pics taken from social media.

Fitness freaks and the difference i see is that Claudia Gadelha  has tattoos all over her body while Alexa Grasso does not have any. I have seen a few fights of Claudia Gadelha but yet to watch any fights of Alexa Grasso, before watching the Nina Ansaroff fight i would have easily gone for Claudia to win but after that fight i am not picking Claudia just like that because of past performance.

I reckon that everyone is very busy on Conor versus Cowboy. We are missing discussion on another battle of 2 sex kittens Claudia Gadelha versus Alexa Grasso hehehe.

@mich. Post the pictures hehehehe.

You are right, Claudia VS Alexa should be another great fight too,  in this one i would like to bet on Alexa because i have seen her past fights and i feel like she has some nice potential. I saw her in the UFC in Mexico a couple of years ago, it was a nice show.

I am picking Cláudia Gadelha in this fight simply because of her ground skills and i am expecting her to take Alexa Grasso down and win the fight. Alexa Grasso is coming into the fight from a loss against Carla Esparza and i am expecting the same game plan from Claudia too.

The problem i see with Alexa grasso is her fighting style, she is not that great on the ground and she likes the stand up fight and she always struggle against wrestlers and you can expect Claudia to take her down easily and control the fight. I bet you had a great experience watching the fight live in the stadium.

Rewind of the 2019 UFC folks

Daily they are releasing a new video and their partnership of ESPN might give them a boost they are looking for as Dana white himself said this was the best year for the UFC in terms of numbers and Conor McGregor did not fight this year and yet they were able to purpas all the past records and the plan from Conor McGregor is that he wants to fight Jorge Masvidal and hence he is fighting Cerrone at 170 pounds and the word is that if Tony or Khabib fight does not happen due to someone pulling out, Conor will be stepping in at a replacement and we know Tony and Khabib are the unlucky combination as this is the fifth time a fight is scheduled between them.

Claudia also has more experience versus more tough fighters in the UFC.

Conor's transformation. He has more bulky muscles than the time he fought Nate Diaz also in welterweight. I speculate that his speed might be affected by the bulk. He might also be stronger, however.

If Conor McGregor keeps on bulking like this then it will be hard for him to cut down at a later time even if he wants the second fight against Khabib and i think he will be going after Jorge Masvidal for the BMF title and so is the reason he is bulking up and then he might even challenge the 170 pound belt and Dana White will make that fight happen because of the huge money they will be making, i am sure he has a plan to fight at 170 pounds on his return and that is going after the BMF belt.

If Conor McGregor will face Khabib again after Conor facing Cerrone and win, I am not expecting anything new. Khabib is a monster, he knows his game so well. Conor is good in standing up, while Khabib is good in grapling, thats not the area of expertise of Conor. Thats where he got into trouble with Nate. He (Conor) needs to bring his A game and add more to his artillery if he plans to face Khabib again.

Claudia Gadelha may be the finest woman in the ufc hands down.
Fun fight card this one with McNuggets likely to win by KO versus COWBOY.

Even i am not expecting a rematch but who knows the UFC likes big money fight and if that happens i am not expecting a different result either as you cannot learn the ground game in a few years and every opponent Khabib faces knows his game plan and yet no one is able to do anything yet, with Nate Diaz in the first fight Conor McGregor was gassed out and hence he went to the ground and got chocked out and rectified in the rematch and yet it was a very close fight but with Khabib it was not even close and if McGregor gets the rematch then every opponent deserves the rematch .

If the tickets are sold within a few minutes then it is because of Conor McGregor's drawing power, he has a really huge fan base and even with all his outside antics he still have a huge following and that shows he is able to break records when it comes to pay per view buys and so is the reason UFC will be looking for a rematch between Conor and Khabib considering the amount of money they can make, but if the UFC is smart then they will go for a match between Nate Diaz and Conor first which will be another record breaking event and then if they are able to bring back Nick Diaz against Jorge Masvidal it would be another huge event.

^  He's got lots of haters too...  Haters who would still pay (live or PPV) to watch him fight.  Lol.  But yeah, it's also easy to underestimate McGregor cos he has a big mouth on him.  It's like he already leveled everyone to think that he's all bark but no bite.

We cannot ignore the fact that Conor McGregor revolutionized the MMA landscape with his big mouth and he won many fights and Championship because he was delivering what he predicted and his loss against Nate Diaz in the first match was because it was a short notice replacement and that too in 170 pounds because Nate Diaz was not able to cut that much weight in a short period of time and then he turned back and won a close fight and after that his other loss is against a monster Khabib Nurmagomedov which is crazy as you cannot find an undefeated record in MMA and with the ground expertise he had it is always a tough challenge for anyone let alone Conor McGregor and i am sure he will challenge the rest of the fighters.

Looking at this shoulders and muscles for McGregor I cant think of anything else but him using some kind of steroids.
I do hope they will be testing them before the match.

Seriously i do not see any transformation in this image, the only difference is that his dick is more visible in the image in the right  . watching the career of Conor McGregor every move he does have a plan and his move to 170 for his return makes me think that he is looking for another title and i guess he is looking for a title fight against Masvidal for the BMF belt and if he is able to win the fight against Cerrone i am sure he will call out masvidal for the belt .

[ene1980]

Seriously i do not see any transformation in this image, the only difference is that his dick is more visible in the image in the right  .

In the picture above even i am not able to see a major transformation, one with gloves and another without and two poses in different direction and he might be able to increase his weight and build his body mass but if he is planning to continue to fight in the welterweight division he might be facing killers and it might not even suite him as those fighters are already big fighters cutting down and here Conor is going up in weight, waiting to see this fight as it might change his aspiration if he starts winning again.

[bbc.reporter]

@ene1980. His transformation might be clearer if compared with his pictures from before 2019 on lightweight and featherweight. That pitcure on the right might be in a similar weight on the left, however, the picture on the left appears to be more ready for a fight hehehe.

One image is taken when he is at home and the second one is taken after having a workout i guess and so is the reason he looks sweaty and ready for the fight  . What ever it may be he is looking to have more fights in 170 pound division and so is the reason he is preparing really well and if he is able to defeat Cerrone then he might go for another title fight most probably the BMF belt and Conor has the power to bring that belt back again.

The BMF belt is quite tempting for the most baddest fighters out there I think that Conor really aims for that shot and aiming for a Jorge Masvidal fight I think the belt really gives Conor the engine to get a shot against Masvidal but apparently Dana White doesn't like the sound of a Conor Vs Masvidal fight so I think even if he like the BMF belt he would likely need to wait for that title shot because Dana thinks it is a bad idea and said that the BMF title fight was only a one-time deal, So I guess Conor really needs to wait.

Or he could have focused more on shoulder and biceps/triceps during his training with metal   Or this was achieved due to lots of wrestle training

That is just a groin guard
