I think this is the main reason behind Weili Zhang being the betting favorite.

Jessica Andrade showed Rose Namajunas being vulnerable in the wrestling department.

Big bets dropped on Zhang are gambling that she can recreate Andrade's wrestling success.

But it has been said that Weili Zhang brought in other specialist coaches aside from Henry Cejudo.

There is a chance Weili's stand up and MMA kickboxing has also improved along with her wrestling and grappling.

I love Weili's style. She walks everybody down, is not afraid to stay in the pocket, and has a fantastic killer instinct. What's interesting about Weili, is that I have never seen fear or doubt in her at any time, during any of her fights. She seems to have supreme confidence.

Rose Namajunas is a technical good fighter and she finished Weili Zhang when they first meet and i am not expecting a different result even though there is a lot of hype behind Weili Zhang because she is training under some well known coaches and may be we might see a new champion but i am expecting Rose Namajunas to be on point and avoids the take down.

Placed small bets mainly going with Rose Namajunas, Colby Covington, Alex Pereira. I want to enjoy this card as there are really good fights, so no huge bets this time.

[eaLiTy]

Great fights as expected, Rose Namajunas and Weili Zhang fought really well and it was a really close fight and the only weakness for Weili Zhang is that she needs to improve her ground game from the back. Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington was a bit crazy as Colby Covington was tough enough to come back till the final bell even though he was dropped twice in the second round.

Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler went to war, i was betting for a stoppage but unfortunately it went the decision .

[Bttzed03]

^ Indeed one of the best fights as far as main card is concerned. I have no issue with how it was scored but there are some who argue that Covington won three rounds. He's probably the toughest Usman fought when defending the title to date but still not enough. Who do you think has the real chance of dethroning the current champ? Chimaev?

Too bad for Edgar losing by KO again. He probably wants to redeem himself next and I know that he could still fight but I think he should just coach younger fighters and pass on his skills.

[YuginKadoya]

Kamaru Usman Def Colby Covington

Covington has targeted a takedown early on, but a good takedown defense from Kamaru Usman has failed the assault of Colby Covington, we can see how ready Kamaru Usman really is in this fight he can sure take the punishment from Covington while Usman's heavy strikes have damage Covington a lot, you can really see the power of Kamaru Usman in this fight.

Rose Namajunas Def Zhang Weili

Congrats to both fighters, and Zhang Weili really did up his game no doubt about it, but Rose Namajunas is still a technical fighter than Weili, both fighters have done a great job, in my opinion, I could give 4 round win for Rose Namajunas, but the 3rd round is a very controversial one but I think Weili has won that round, and there is no doubt, Rose, Namajunas still champion and have truly beaten Zhang Weili the favorite of bookies, Rose Namajunas is a true winner here, and I got to admit even though she had lost the fight Zhang Weili still delivers a great performance.

Marlon Vera Def Frankie Edgar

We can see that Marlon Vera is unscathed by Edgar truly he is a more technical fighter than Frankie Edgar, and that KO kick was really tremendous, Vera surely deserves this win and will continue on supporting him and when he fights Stake.com will surely double your winnings.

[TheNineClub]

I'm gonna admit, I totally underestimated Rose's will to retain the belt. Ol' Gertrude really showed that she is still willing to fight, even tho she had some reservations about fighting in the past. Not a fan, but I do respect what she has done.

As expected, Colby really stomped on the gas in this one. I have a hard time believing someone besides Usman is on his level in that division. A part of me would love to see Khabib vs Covington (when Khabib was fighting) as Khabib was reportedly wrestling with bigger guys all the time and was known to put on some weight.

Can someone explain why Gaethje vs Chandler was billed lower than Edgar vs Vera or Burgos vs Quarantilio? That makes no sense to me.

Have you seen Alex Pereira flying knee knockout? This guy has nice technics, but 100% he needs more experience in mix martial arts. He connected a knee, and moved away, like he is used in kickboxing, KO or TKO and the ref sends him to the corner He connected, moved away, but then remembered that this is MMA and went to ground and pound

I think Alex Pereira has executed it perfectly he had Andreas Michailidis thinking it was another leg kick but Pereira is readying for a knee kick when Michailidis lift his feet for a block, I really think he moves away because he is a very cautious fighter, but what he did in this fight was an absolute genius he really know's what he is doing, from that takedown defense you can never see a striker have a takedown defense this good, he has locked a kamora lock to separate Michailidis hands you would not see this kind of technique every day, I think he is ready but I guess another fight will surely determine if he is really ready for a title shot.

[Welsh]

Rose did well, but I thought it was closer than one of the judges scored it. They scored 4 rounds for Rose, which is mad come to think of it. I do think it could have went either way with it at least being a 5-4 on either side. Good battle though. I'm annoyed because Usman, and Hawes messed up my accumulator for 17k. I had Usman by TKO, and Hawes just winning. The annoying thing is; Hawes was doing incredibly well until...well he wasn't.

Justin, and Chandlers fight was something else. Real good fight, had it all stand up, and a little bit of wrestling. Also, Chandler taking down Justin in extreme fashion, and smashing his face into the canvas was quite the sight. Justin's ability to stay calm in the pocket is impressive.

Alex Periera got his knockout in style, though I'll be honest he's going to have major issues when it comes to wrestling, and grapplers. Just think if that was Brunson in front of him, he would have been mauled. He needs to work on the grappling, and takedown defense. Obviously, credit where credit is due he got the knock out.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC avoid matching Alex up with serious wrestlers to try, and mask it on his way up to Adensanya, because a pure striking match between them will be brilliant, and something the fans will want.

Rose Namajunas is something, actually I kind of OK with the scorecards, and I think even if there would be another rematch I think that the result will still be the same, Rose Namajunas is a technical and phenomenal fighter than Weili, and actually in their first fight I have bet for Zhang Weili because she was over hype, I haven't seen the potential of Rose Namajunas, and after witnessing that OK from Namajunas, I have watched the fight in Slow-mo and have seen the reality that Rose Namajunas is in a different level and just like what I said her flexibility from her taekwondo days have proven useful for her.

Actually, I really think that Alex Pereira has a decent takedown defense, or should I say superb, if you would look at the fight again and time it when Andreas Michailidis would be ready for a takedown you need to slow-mo or pause it for you to see, Pereira is keeping the distance by holding Michailidis on the chin to leverage him for a takedown and the knee to hold on the distance and when you look at the part where Michailidis was on Pereira's back Alex Pereira have entered the kimura lock while standing not to enter by submission but to just separate the hands just to control the takedown of Michailidis, that is why I think Alex Pereira knows how to get away from a takedown, well if anyone didn't notice it, I think I think Alex Pereira is something.

[SUPERSAIAN]

UFC was awesome last night. We watched good matches on the UFC 268 main card.

There was an opening with the Chandler and Gaethje match. What was Gaethjen's uppercut in the 2nd round, Chandler did a one-shot on the leg despite the knockdown and just tried to hold on. Although Chandler proved his stamina in this match, Gaethje was the winner, it was a match I enjoyed.

Rose was my favorite, this girl may be my favorite athlete in UFC. Zhang analyzed she's opponent well, we could see this easily in the match, she tried to disrupt Rose's footwork with low kicks. Rose finished off Zhang with a take down in the last round. She became the winner by the referee's decision and retained the belt.

Covington held up well despite a 2nd round knockdown. Even though he made a comeback towards the middle of the 3rd round, from Usman could not take the belt. I saw that Covington shook Usman with his shot during the match, these two are a good match.

Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler lived up to the reputation like everyone expected and these are the fights we want to see as main events for 5 rounds rather than 3 rounds and all the fights in the main card were great.

Rose finished off Zhang with a take down in the last round. She became the winner by the referee's decision and retained the belt.

Rose Namajunas and Weili Zhang was another great fight and Rose Namajunas is the best in the division and there is no challenger that could topple her unless there is someone that is great on the ground.

Covington held up well despite a 2nd round knockdown. Even though he made a comeback towards the middle of the 3rd round, from Usman could not take the belt. I saw that Covington shook Usman with his shot during the match, these two are a good match.

I was expecting much more activity from Colby Covington but he was careful with the way he approached the fight and it is because of the heavy hands of Kamaru Usman and he is entering the legends status with his reign in the division. I hope Khamzat Chimaev will be a good challenger for Kamaru Usman.

Both of them had a smarter approach to this fight compared to the first. It actually made for a better fight, and both showed how well they can adapt from fight to fight. Usman being the puncher that he is, still hadn't been able to take off Colby's head, and most of it was due to him not willing to expose himself to much just to get that flashy KO. Smart move.

for spectators though its about backing up what they are saying. the pre-conference sounds tougher but usman proves his words again.

[KennyXBTC]

What a great card for UFC 268 . Enjoy it very much even did not bet on any match . if not would get a good return from the multi bet (Trevor Wittman student) win all of these match.


But what i found out that there is 1 judge is drunks . for Rose vs Weili should have been split decision (imo) extremely close fight , but given the score 49-46 damn.


Usman and Covington did not disappoint me , usman is a better fighter overall , if usman didnt did enough damage to covington in r2 , we might see a different outcome.

[YuginKadoya]

I say this next event in my opinion is not really that exciting and for me

After UFC 268, all the next events till UFC 269 are not as exciting as 267-268. And this is good. "We" need some rest from such cool events. Otherwise it will be hard to impress us

Did you guys saw, how Nhannou passed by his former team and Gane on the way to his seat at UFC 268? Not even said hello. As he is not familiar with them. What is this, trying to be bad guy to raise more interest to their fight, bad manners, disagreements between them?

[Betwrong]

The Last fight UFC 268 was a rollercoaster fun to watch, ~

Indeed. I bet on Weili Zhang because I thought she was much stronger, with more experience and almost 2 times more wins in the past than Rose Namajunas, and in the beginning it looked like Zhang was going to win the fight, she was very aggressive and pretty successful with some kicks. But Rose has endured, and finally won the fight.

Yet, overall my predictions for the UFC 268 Multi Master Challenge weren't that bad this time.

Here's the results:



Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_268

and here's my preditcions:

14) Kamaru Usman  V
13) Weili Zhang -
12)  Justin Gaethje V
11)  Billy Quarantillo -
10)  Frankie Edgar -
9)  Andreas Michailidis -
8 )  Bobby Green V
7)  Chris Curtis V
6)  Nassourdine Imavov V
5)  Ian Garry V
4)  Gian Villante -
3)  Dustin Jacoby V
2)  Melsik Baghdasaryan V
1)  Carlos Vergara -

I got 8 of them right.

I surely need the rest but I am just really excited for the next amazing fights that surely await us, especially the Ciryl Gane VS Francis Ngannou fight, that is the fight that I am really anticipating watching,

Well, about that I have seen the video, and Francis Ngannou doesn't really give a damn about Ciryl Gane even though they are previous sparing partners, there should be a slight gesture but no Francis Ngannou totally ignores Gane, and I really like the look on Ciryl Gane's face and the professionalism on Ngannou's action, Ciryl Gane is just chill, but you can really never take it down to Francis Ngannou because he is the champion here and he has a lot of pride,

Indeed. I bet on Weili Zhang because I thought she was much stronger, with more experience and almost 2 times more wins in the past than Rose Namajunas, and in the beginning it looked like Zhang was going to win the fight, she was very aggressive and pretty successful with some kicks. But Rose has endured, and finally won the fight.

My Verdict on the fight is Rose Namajunas simply is a thug and more skilled than Zhang Weili, no doubt about it, as I said in their previous fight she is more agile and flexible because of her past taekwondo training her kicks despite not so many it is really lethal and accurate, and on their 2nd clash overall, Zhang Weili is more cautious now because of what happened in their 1st fight, but Rose Namajunas still have the edge and advantage over her.

and here's my preditcions:

14) Kamaru Usman  V
13) Weili Zhang -
12)  Justin Gaethje V
11)  Billy Quarantillo -
10)  Frankie Edgar -
9)  Andreas Michailidis -
8 )  Bobby Green V
7)  Chris Curtis V
6)  Nassourdine Imavov V
5)  Ian Garry V
4)  Gian Villante -
3)  Dustin Jacoby V
2)  Melsik Baghdasaryan V
1)  Carlos Vergara -

I got 8 of them right.

In my opinion, 8 victory is a great thing, and not all bets could surely get in what you want, I think it turns out profitable for you in this event.
