🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[tokeweed]

I expected Brian Ortega to change his fortunes as he went to war in the past and failed to win the title and i thought this is his chance to win the title and yet again failed to win against Alexander Volkanovski.    Valentina Shevchenko win was expected and good to see that the fight went till the 4th round.
Ring rust of Nick Diaz was evident in the first round and Robbie Lawler was too good for him and hopefully we will see Nick Diaz active as this will be the last phase of his career.

Here are the results


Pic taken from Wiki.

It wasn’t just ring rust.  He looked like he didn’t want to be in there.  And he didn’t look like he trained much for the event.  Lolol.  He was sloooow.  The Diaz of old is gone.  And how was that match supposed to be for 5 rounds?    He should retire.

I’m break even for the event.  Lost the Pearce vs Morales bet.  Pearce improved a lot since switching to another gym.

Three fights in the last ten years and his last win was in 2011 against B.J Penn who was wearing down and was coming up in weight. It is not easy to take a long break like this and return to the top of the division against elite fighters, he should have taken some warm up fights before going against anyone. A few days before the fight Nick Diaz decided that he cannot cut down to 170 pounds and these were signals that he is not in good shape or healthy enough to cut weight.

Alexander Volkanovski vs Brian Ortega

Respect! for Alexander Volkanovski, I should say he is the better fighter over Brian Ortega he has a lot of faints, and from my perspective, I think that he is controlling the fight from the striking, even though he was caught by that fast guillotine choke and a triangle by Brian Ortega he has survived that and win by giving Ortega punches that surely a great win for Volkanovski.

Curtis Blaydes vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik

Curtis Blaydes was really careful with their fight, but we can really see who's dominating the fight, Curtis Blaydes giving takedowns to Jairzinho Rozenstruik gives him the advantage even though he acquired damage in his eye, he just did what he could, from giving Rozenstruik a hard time on the octagon and I think the judge may have seen that.

Unfortunately, I completely agree with you. Diaz was incredible slow. I think everyone can seen that he was not prepared with condition at all. I don't know what happened to him, but he looked like drunk sometimes. I don't think we'll see any good his fight anytime. I think he should seriously think about ending his career.

Yeah, and just like I predicted it will be a brawl fight of endurance.
Nick got slow, fat, and his punches ain't that hard anymore that Robbie could take all the beating. While Lawler on the other hand seems to not change his style.
Low amount of thrown punches and just trying to be accurate until he gets that lucky punch that will end the game and it did happen.
Could've won the bet for Diaz if he could end the game thru decision.

What's going on with the poster design. Santos's eye looks terrible XD Anyway, I am not sold on Walker honestly, this seems like Santos should take it fairly easily. Let's also see if Circunov will get his shit together. I always thought he had potential in that division and every time he fell short. It's not the best card, but could tourn out to, at least, not be boring.

Actually, I am OK with the poster and the design is very brilliant with the eyes, face, and names and I don't have any issue about it, but this is just my opinion and we have different tastes when it comes to designs,

Actually, I like Thiago Santos down to earth persona, and Jhonny Walker seems like the opposite of him but with these two I guess there are a lot of stylistic strikes for Walker, and that soccer kick when his opponent was on the ground was not what I like about him, for me I want to support Thiago Santos, but it seems like there is something about Santos that is of, I will check this even further and come back with my decision but I really like Thiago Santos to win this.

Fixed, thanks.

Walker reminds me villain from Far Cry 3 video game. Same mohawk, beard, designed haircut



Also, Champ Aljamain Sterling out of UFC 267 vs. Petr Yan; interim title fight considered. I knew that would happened. First he cowardly got title, now he is afraid to defend it. Sterling has told that he hasn't recovered fully from leg injury and can barely train, but he looked very happy in Merab Dvalishvili corner on UFC266.

Well, I kind of like the poster design. I am by no means a graphic designer, but I like how it pleases my eyes and I also love the color combination. And about the match, I am really attached to the calm behavior of Thiago Santos. But as a fighter, I think Walker is better than Santos so I will be supporting Walker in this fight. And from what I have seen, maybe, just maybe Walker is faster and agile than Santos which could be a differentiator in the match. Hoping for an interesting fight ahead.

I also like the poster a lot, and I think the color combination suit well, and regarding Walker, regarding how he moves and the way he fights, I also think the same, he looks kind of agile, and just like I have said he has a lot of technical strikes, and for me, his strikes are more accurate than Thiago Santos, I just really like Thiago's humble image and demeanor, and judging both of them I am still doing some inner research on both fighter there is something that I miss and I am looking on their previous videos, on how they both evolve in their fighting style, but thanks for your insight about Walker, I am still looking at it and the other fights aswell.

Regarding the poster, I confess that the "assembly" was interesting lol
Thiago Santos and Johnny Walker are excellent fighters, I believe and I think there are great possibilities for an excellent fight to happen between them!
I will be looking forward to this meeting!!!

Hey, in all honesty, this isn't the worst poster UFC has made, nothing special but not bad. My friend is an art director at an ad agency and he vomits 90% of the time when the UFC sends out their promo stuff XD

Walker reminds me villain from Far Cry 3 video game. Same mohawk, beard, designed haircut

ahaha, you nailed this one, slipped my mind totally. He should totally go full potato with that look and persona. Don't know if he can pull it off but I bet it could work

At first glance, Niko Price and Jamie Mullarkey stand out as possible bets.  I have’t looked at any lines yet but this looks like a card with some good underdogs.  Daukas could be one if he’s an underdog, Casey O’Neill and maybe Jared Gordon..?

Some vids to watch.  Enjoy guys.

Anyone still interested in story of that scumbag Jon Jones?
Police released a report about Jon Jones returning drunk in his hotel room, beating his fiancee in front of her kids, and she was later found by police, afraid with blood on her face and clothes.
Problem started when he wanted to take $10,000 from hotel room and then go to strip club.
Full report: https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/91/2021/09/jon-jones-las-vegas-police-arrest-report.pdf

[tokeweed]

^  Jfc..  That guy is done.  I don’t know how many more outs the UFC can give him right now.  And it really sucks cos we never saw him fight against the elite at HW.  But then again Dana White will prolly let things cool off and see if he can still fix this shit with Jones.

Edit:  And what did his wife do?  Was there a reason why she got beaten up?  There has to be a reason.
