🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

If it weren't for COVID there would have been good fighters to watch than whats on the list. This is the kind of match that you'd find it hard when all are sloopy enough to make a mistake. Nothing so far that can give you the confidence to bet. Waterson seems to be the crowds fav against Hill only because of the racist issue I guess. 
Will Dana get even for this event?

The UFC was putting events after events during this tough situations and they already had 18 events and you cannot expect fan favorites to fight in every event. I did not understand the racist issue you are talking about, Michelle Waterson is fan friendly because of her social media presence and the way in which she was able to promote herself.

My picks for the event are Bobby Green, Billy Quarantillo, Mike Rodriguez and Ottoman Azaitar .

[tokeweed]

^  Good pick on Azaitar.  He turned out to be an actual beast.  I thought he was overrated and Worthy would get him coming in.

And Martinez won that fight.  Herman faked a low blow.

Anyway, got owned by the bookies again.    Nothing big...  Just 10 bucks per bet but they do add up.

I messed with Mike Rodriguez as he never used to go the distance and Herman slept in his career in the past but the veteran had other plans and he is always a striker who absorbs less strike and he did that in this fight and he did not give him a knockout opportunity. The reason i picked Ottoman Azaitar is because of his striking ability and the accuracy in which he was able to pick apart opponents and his defense is pretty solid rather than wild swinging.

Did anyone see the weekend's Bellator card? I only watched the highlights but there was one of the worse crotch shots I'd ever seen in the headliner fight between Raymond Daniels and Peter Stanonik. Daniel's did a spinning back kick right to the dick then he went and did another one straight after which was even worse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb72ZwYhKTE

Full foot-span right in the dick and balls. Stanonik was on the floor literally crying and he had to be stretchered off. Looks like he's ok though: https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2020/09/peter-stanonik-released-from-hospital-diagnosed-with-groin-contusion-after-bellator-245

Wouldn't have surprised me if he was infertile after those blows though.

Why nobody post any info about tomorrows event?

By looking on the card and the photos, I haven't found any familiar name. Maybe this is the reason this topic is silent about this event.

Female headliners tend to get less attention unless they're one of the bigger names... or they'rs smoking hot  .

[bbc.reporter]

However, sometimes women give tougher fights more than men similar to this recent headliner. It might be because women are built for giving birth and have higher limits for pain received hehehe.

This has a similarity to animals (cats, dogs for example). Male species fight till someone shows weakness or other have a slight advantage. While when female species fight, they fight till first blood.

Take a look how lions fight. Male fight are short. One shows advantage over the other and the looser runs away. While when female fight, that is always a bloody mess 

[tokeweed]

^ ^  Yup...  I've said the same thing too.  Female fighters really do have a higher threshold for pain.  It's prolly why most of WMMA matches end via decision.  

Anyway...  Next event looks more stacked than UFC 253.  I like Woodley as the underdog.

I'm excited to watch Khamzat Chimaev fight, young and hungry. And Cowboy, Price, Covington and Woodley for sure are going to show great show this weekend.

P.S. tokeweed you are free to use it for the first post as usually

[tokeweed]

^  Cool, thanks.

You should watch Holland vs Stewart fight too.  Holland a great prospect.  Newson vs Costa is another potential banger.

[TopTort777]

I’m more excited with event after this. Adesanya vs Costa. Finally these two will meet. There are a lot of hate between these two. Both talk shit about each other. Their first meeting was postponed due to Costa’s steroids positive test. Then Adesanya keep fighting other guys and avoid Costa for a year. September 26 finally they will fight. If Adesanya keeps running in the ring like he did agains Romero, he would definitely lose his title.

I watched the fight and i did not place a bet on the match, but it was brutal and hence it was a no contest, but in UFC fight against Mike Rodriguez which i picked to win the fight would have won against Ed Herman and the referee's blunder calling a low blow when it clearly missed his groin area resulted in Mike Rodriguez loosing the fight in the later round, if not for that referee blunder the fight would have stopped by that time.

However, sometimes women give tougher fights more than men similar to this recent headliner. It might be because women are built for giving birth and have higher limits for pain received hehehe.

May be, there are certain fighters who have a much higher pain threshold, Leslie Smith, Jessica Penne and many more who will fight on despite injuries sustained in the fight and there are countless male fighters throughout history.

[tokeweed]

I made a couple of parlays for the weekend's event:  Nam, Chimaev and Ewell, Holland.  Close to even odds for the Nam one and slightly plus money for the Ewell one.  I don't think I'll be making a lot of UFC bets per event for a little while.  Lol.  Confidence is shot atm.  Lawl.

My goodness, that was painful to watch. The fight should have ended after the first spinning kick. Really stupid for the other guy to do the same thing just seconds after the fight resumed. He must have been sparring with shorter fighters when he was practicing that.


Good card for UFC Fight Night.

Covington wouldn't dare exchange blows against Woodley. He'll take him to the ground for sure. He'll try to throw punches here and there to mix it up but the end game is to finish the fight in the ground via submission or TKO. If the fight goes to the 5th round, Woodley would end up frustrated lying on the ground most of the fight.

I prefer Cowboy to retire. He probably has little power left in his kicks but he doesn't have a good chin anymore. Niko might not be that skilled in striking compared to Cowboy but the guy has some serious KO power. He finishes opponents in some weird ways too, just look at how he KO'd someone with a hammer fist while on his back  

For Khamzat Chimaev, well, what else can we say about this guy? I don't know if it's even worth it to check his opponent.

To be honest the fighter could have called it of but he wanted to carry on. I've seen quite a few low blows with the spinning back kicks... you can't really blame the other fighter that much though as you can't really aim them that well with with your back turned so sometimes this happens.

Good card for UFC 253..

It's pretty good. Not sure what Cowboy is doing as the penultimate fight though. He didn't even make the main card last time and got KFO by McGregor within a minute. Speaking of McGregor did anyone see his latest shenanigans of getting arrested for alleged indecent exposure: https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/ufc/conor-mcgregor-arrested-pictures-show-22676879

He really needs to return to fighting or his legacy will be ruined at this point. He could have been one of the greats but he left too early for that in my opinion. He should just sign a whopping contract for three fights or something. Diaz trilogy, maybe Gamebred and then the Khabib rematch. Every single one of them would be the biggest PPVs in UFC history.

[notblox1]

Fight Night Covington vs. Woodley is a must watch event, and whole card is great with Donald Cerrone vs. Niko Price, and even preliminary card is awesome.
On top of that Dana White announced news of signing Michael Chandler and he is a backup for Khabib vs Gaethje fight

[tokeweed]

The UFC hasn't been doing press conferences in this format lately.  I hope they continue doing this again esp for 253.  Pretty sure Adesanya and Costa wouldn't disappoint.    

Anyway, for Chimaev fans itt...  Watch the vid.  He talked a lot of trash.  Lol.  I hope he doesn't end up being a flop.

I don't pay much attention to what they do outside the octagon. I think Jon Jones have done much worse but he's still one of the most watched fighter in MMA. His legacy remains even after being caught of using substance more than once.

For McGregor, all Dana needs to do is arrange a good money fight for Conor and he'll be back in a heartbeat.

I miss this format.

Chimaev is playful. Gerald has been responding well too. I love how they're making bets already with "if I do this to you, if I do that to you" 
Well, everyone's trying to sell the card and create "rivalries" for PPVs.

Cowboy looks chill and it looks like he's there for the money. It doesn't look like he really cares if he wins or not.

The habit of getting into trouble continues, no idea about the truth about indecent exposure but everyone is eyeing for a peace of the share of the millions he earned throughout his career, may be these legal issues are coming up on purpose because they knows that he will settle out of court.

If Conor McGregor wants to fight and built his legacy back again he needs to avoid Khabib and fight strikers and when Khabib retires just blame him for not giving him the rematch  . I really do not see McGregor beating Khabib.

The confidence level of Khamzat Chimaev is really high but he is facing a really experienced fighter in Gerald Meerschaert who has 23 submission wins and that too he is fighting in Middle weight division. I wont be surprised if the hype derails before he gets to Demian Maia for the next fight.

[bbc.reporter]

@7788bitcoin. Agreed! We have already witnessed Dana's minions overhype many of these young fighters similar to cryptocoin pumpers hyping their scams hehehe. There was Brunson, Ed Shabayzan, Jonny Walker and now Khamzat Chimaev.

I am quite certain there are a few more.

UFC Fight Night: Covington vs. Woodley

This is a very interesting fight Colby Covington in my opinion would take this win but I think this can be a unanimous one for Covington because Tyron Woodley is not a pretty easy one, to begin with, Woodley had a great reach that he can exploit to put some free strikes on Covington I really think his accuracy in striking is pretty impressive and might get Covington by going all out with it, But my boy Covington has a big advantage with his Cardio and might last around thinking of ways on getting an opportunity for the win, It can be a take-down or a submission to his liking overall I think Colby Covington may win this fight.
