🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[Welsh]

Some English accents particualrly the north can be a little hard to understand. However, so can Scottish, Irish, and Welsh if you aren't used to hearing them, as we've invented our own sayings that mean nothing in English or contradict themselves in English.

^  The main event was really good.  Giga Chikadze looks like the next big prospect at 145.  He could fight Max Holloway next who I think he could beat or at least be really competitive against...  And your boy is fighting this weekend:  Jack Shore.  

Yeah, I'll definitely be putting a bet on Jack Shore. Yeah, Giga Chikadze has been hyped up for a while. I did manage to watch the fight after the event, and he did decently well. Actually, probably better than I expected against a good opponent. Max Holloway last fight he absolutely dominated, didn't he set a record for number of punches in a UFC fight? Could be an interesting one, I think I would prefer Max over Giga though.

I think that match with Jack Shore could go the distance with his opponent being having a more wrestling heavy style just like Shore.  Could be a good bet at plus money.

Yeah, I couldn't bet against him. Though, it'll likely be a tough match up for him. I'm currently thinking a Tom Aspinall, and Jack Shore accumulator with a few not to go distance bets. I'm not particularly hyped for this weekend's fights, although they are usually the ones which prove to worth watching the most. I'm expecting Aspinall to win his fight, however I think Spivak will prove a decent match up, and I'm not expecting Aspinall to just walk through this opponent compared to his last few fights.

I was following Dana White Contender Series and just like I expected we have a new Russian fighter signing for UFC Azamat Murzakanov with perfect 10-0 record.
Few days ago he won by KO against Matheus Scheffel, but sweet problem is that he is probably coming in Light-Heavyweight category that is already very interesting with Prochazka, Rakic, Teixeira and champ Blachowicz.
Check out that KO in first round

Back to next UFC event, Derek Brunson is aiming title shot fight if he wins against Darren Till, and I think that is possible, he looked very good in media day interview.
I think that odds in Brunson are great and I am taking them early, sounds even better on Stake with Double Winnings promotion, with split decision money back:

Lightweight:  Paddy Pimblett vs Luigi Vendramini

Paddy and Luigi, like somebody, made joke characters in the UFC video game XD Paddy has been making a lot of noise lately, it's that Liverpool bravado, but you know what they say, if he talks the talk he better be ready to walk the walk, so he has a lot on his plate. Let's see how he does.

Azamat Murzakanov surely have a decent stat and record, 70% winning with TKO/KO 10% with Submission, and 20% decision is a fairly great start, and with the contender match against Matheus Scheffel, Scheffel doesn't know what hit him, Murzakanov is really a great addition with the many fighters that we have right now, but this is just the beginning and his game can still be leveled up a bit a more dynamic rhythm with his punches and he can sure still makes improvements with his technique, let's just hope he will last being undefeated.

He's pretty good. Although, much of his fame comes from hanging around with social infulencers on Youtube, and being a Jay lookalike from the Inbetweeners show. I'm sure he's sick, and tired of hearing that from people, however if he wins this fight, and then in the post fight interview says "Completed mate" I'll forever place a bet on him to win his matches. As much as he probably hates the comparison, I think that could potentially sky rocket his career further, because the whole of the UK at least will talk about it.

I picked Aspinall in my degen parlay but as a straight bet I think you shouldn’t pull the trigger just yet.  He hasn’t really been in match beyond R1 and those that did, he lost those matches apart from the one vs Andre Arlovski.  And even then Arlovski was starting to light him up on his feet towards the end of R1.

Edit:  Aspinall’s record if you’re interested.

I have a feeling we are going to see some surprise results for this UFC fight card, and not only in main event that I give advantage to underdog Brunson, but in many other fights.
Maybe bookmakers made a mistake this time or something is wrong with my predictions I just made in Sportsbet Multi Master Challenge topic.

I picked him also, he has a slightly better stats than Sergey Spivak, but you never know with heavyweight fighters.
One heavy punch in head and it's all finished.

I am hearing about Azamat Murzakanov for the first time but he looks good and the record is good and his undefeated record will be tested every time he goes out to fight in the UFC. It is hard to maintain an undefeated record in the UFC and the video you posted does not look like KO but a TKO as the opponent Matheus Scheffel did not go to sleep with one shot and the referee called off the fight after multiple shots as far as i see in the video.

Edit:  Aspinall’s record if you’re interested.

Yeah, there might be a few questions that need to be asked about his ability to go the rounds, but he's pretty good at finishing people within the first round. The last bet I made on him was for a TKO, and he ended up getting a rear naked choke in round two against Andrei Arlovski. That was in round two, so he's proven somewhat he can get people out in the second round.

He's also on a 6 fight unbeaten streak, which is somewhat respectable in MMA. Absolutely every single one of them being in the first round via finish, except for the one that was rear naked choke in the second. Also, the one fight was a disqualification right? I think I remember that match, which I had him winning up until the illegal blow.

It appears the MMA news media outlets are hyping Paddy the Baddy Pimblett. According to some of those articles, he is being endorsed by the notorious one Conor McGregor and also implies that he might be the next Conor McGregor.



Pimblett has often been compared to McGregor throughout his rise to prominence.

On Tuesday, another fan did so on social media and McGregor responded by wishing ‘The Baddy’ well and reminiscing about his time in Liverpool for the Grand National in 2017, while also taking a shot at Michael Bisping.

Pimblett recently revealed he is hoping to one day square off against McGregor at Anfield Stadium – the home of Liverpool Football Club.

“An Irishman versus a Scouser. I feel like that would be fucken rowdy. That would be next level. It would be ridiculous, to be honest.”

“He’s [Conor McGregor] a money type of guy. And fighting an Anfield in front of like 60-70,000 people is where the money’s at,” Pimblett added. “So, that’s why I could see that happening. But anyone. It doesn’t matter. Like, I’m going to be that big of a star that you could fucking put me in there against a hobo and I’d fill it out.”

He certainly has the confidence hehehe.

the kid Paddy had hyped himself since that every time he wins he jumps to the crowd acting like he personally knew them just as a politician waving and pointing to the crowd while nodding. he certainly has his own way of hyping himself but he isn't an accurate hitter though.  if Connor doesn't have an injured leg, he can knock this kid standing in front of him.

[Welsh]

Paddy most certainly isn't the next Conor Mcgregor. Definitely a raw talent, but there's a lot of work to be done if he even wants to be mentioned alongside Conor Mcgregor in the future. Plus, they're completely different personalities. If you go listen to some podcasts that Paddy has attended, you'll soon see he actually seems like a pretty chilled out dude, which Conor definitely doesn't give off the same types of vibes. Paddy also seems pretty down to earth while still remaining confident in himself.

These comparisons with Conor are just a way of hyping up those that haven't spent more than two minutes either listening to Paddy or watching him fight.

[Bttzed03]

I already placed my bet on Brunson as I couldn't resist the odds at 2.45. Interesting to see how bookies think of the duration of the fight. I guess it's expected that odds are lower for under 3.5 because these two are strikers with good finishes under their belt. I'm yet to bet on the other fights.

He's pretty good. Although, much of his fame comes from hanging around with social infulencers on Youtube,

SO what you are telling me is that he is 2 years from a tag team match with Daren Till against the Paul brothers in the first-ever Mixed Wrestling Boxing match? I can see that happening XD Just a couple more wins and he is golden.

[tokeweed]

My most confident picks to put a little action on are the under 2.5 at 2.03 for Martinez vs Rojo, both could knock each other out...  And the over 2.5 rounds at 1.89 for Shore vs Sholinian, both are wrestlers so grapple fest and prolly not much striking.  I wanna bet Spivak but will just do a live bet and go for Spivak right after R1.

Weigh is in a couple of hours.

Derek Brunson vs Darren Till

I am not really excited about this Event right now but the only notice that I will make my pick was Brunson and Till, and right now Darren Till is back from his long slumber and after that lost to Robert Whittaker but a notable fight he has was against Cerrone and Thompson and the Kelvin Gastelum win was really a questionable win for him but he got a good takedown defense, after all, But Derek Brunson was a better well-rounded fighter than Till, and right now even though he's well-rounded with style I think that his striking was a let go but noticeable right now for him was his wrestling, we have better wrestling now, although there is some speculation that Till is training his Jujitsu but it can also be a myth, and stake.com odds was 2.60 for Derek Brunson and 1.57 for Darren Till, I am not going with the hype and will go with Derek Brunson winning against Till.

[Welsh]

Derek Brunson by wrestle fuck basically. That's my prediction anyway. I see it going similar to how Brunson, and Holland went. Except Till will probably at least put in some effort. The shore fight is probably the one I'm looking forward to the most, but I think the main event will probably be a snooze fest. I'll put my predictions up later tonight, but at the moment here's my thoughts.

Shore by points
Derek Brunson by points
Tom Aspinal by points
Martinez vs Rojo not going the distance.

I'm hoping that Tom Aspinal proves some of the doubters wrong by winning a decision. It'll be nice to see him display that he can do it. Shore I'm going with because of the Welsh connection, but I genuinely believe it'll be a very close point decision going either way.
