🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[notblox1]

For any UFC fan I am suggesting everyone to watch great documentary movie called Bisping: The Michael Bisping Story, I watched it today.
I knew some parts of his life with eye injury, I watched his fights, listened his great commentary in UFC, but this story is just mind blowing.

Big fan of those. Haven't watched this one, but I think the general idea is great because it's a win over tool for people that might not be into MMA but would watch a documentary nevertheless if it's good they might want to watch some of his fights and that's how you get the ball rolling. I have the same feeling toward fighters books (Griffin, Hunt, Sonnen), they have their place, not just for the fighter but for the sport in general. What I don't like are feature films about MMA, they are just not well done XD

For someone who have both eyes from the beginning and then lost one after one fight, it must be tough to fight again but he did it. Is the whole docu already released?

You are really tested to see what you are made of when you experience the loss and then come back again. He still makes money probably more than what he earns from UFC through his youtube vlog these days. He vlogs about his fight analysis on youtube which you guys may wanna watch his input before betting.

I don't know there's a few decent fights. I don't think its a completely no namer. Decent card I say.

This weekend, Bellator is having an event. There are two big fights, two champions will defend their titles, and light heavy champion will go home with 1 million bucks. That is this weeks UFC event is so weak.

I knew some parts of his life with eye injury, I watched his fights, listened his great commentary in UFC, but this story is just mind blowing.

I know that he has several fight while being one eyed. I was always excited to find out, how the hell medical commission did not spot that and let him fight. Fight in a real fight, not an exhibition fight. How did he manage to pass through doctors, the docs that check if he is ok after the fight and etc. Was it explained in the documentary ?

[Welsh]

I have a huge admiration, and a massive amount of respect for Bisping. I tell you now, not a lot of people would have carried on fighting after that injury, I think that speaks volumes on the amount of passion he had for the fight game.

In terms of big names, Bellator usually only have it once in a blue moon, while the UFC sometimes puts out big name cards back to back. I personally don't mind lesser names, since we get to see the future of the UFC. Although, like I said its not a complete no namer, and there's some decent fights in that card, and some absolute wars.

Wikipedia tends to be a tad late in updating their info.  Use Taplology, it's a more reliable source.  Sports betting sites are a reliable source of roster info too.    As they should.

https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/85814-ufc-fight-night

^  That's the Tapology link for the weekend's event.

At first glance it's another chalky card with low level match ups but there's a couple of underdogs that I like...  Mostly looking forward to the main event and Baeza vs Fialho.  Those two should be good.

Edit:  Typo

Wow! thanks for this, I will definitely update my post for the next event and will add certain fights that are not on the list, I like the main event and I am expecting Belal Muhammad over Vicente Luque, a fight between cute pussy cats Lina Lansberg VS Pannie Kianzd and Chris Barnett VS Martin Buday I am expecting the large Barnett making entertainment and kicking his opponent, but it is sad because Uriah Hall withdrew from the fight and thanks to the link of Tapology will definitely using this site for now on,

Wow! great share I am bored and need a good watch and this documentary is a great thing to watch until we get another great fight, for some reason I am curious about how he got that eye injury that lead him to use an artificial eye, and pretty much I like all his prediction videos on the latest fights with the UFC and the recent video that I watch was even though his retirement he still love to work in the bag, which is I think I love aswell, but will be watching it now so thanks for the share.

Same thoughts, who you got in that match up? Personally have Andre Fialho winning it. Although, I definitely agree on it being a night for underdogs, usually you see that when there isn't as many big names. Then betters tend to bet for favourites since they like betting, but don't have too much information on the fighters. My predictions are probably mainly going to be underdogs.

Should still be a good night, I see some decent match ups there. Expecting the Andre Fialho fight to be absolute chaos at a high pace.

Lolol.  I didn't mean delete my post.  I meant 'delete' your post as I don't want anybody knowing that I got Fialho before I get my Multi Master picks up.    I want me free bets.  

And I wouldn't say most of the event has underdogs winning, I'd say a couple or maybe three of them.  Like William Knight...  I'd pick Devin Clark in the Multi Master but given enough line value, I'd bet on Knight.

Edit:  Just made my picks...

UFC on ESPN 34 Multi Master Challenge
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5394490.0

[Welsh]

On current odds I have the following underdogs winning:

Chris Barnett (I just can't bet against this guy)

Brandon Jenkins - probably being the most risky of the night, since I imagine the vast majority have Klose winning the fight. I actually have Devin Clark winning via a decision, since I think William Knight might gas out, the dude is massive, and carrying a whole lot of muscle that needs a lot more energy.

Andre Fialho - Obviously. He's my favourite underdog of the night.

Caio Borralho - I'm actually going for him against the undefeated Gadzhi, not for any particular reason, other than having a good feeling. So, four underdogs of the night.

Usually, I  find the women fights quite competitive even when the odds are rather wide, but this week I see both favourites winning by an absolute landslide.

It's possible that some other fighters did some hiding of their injuries, but  I think that nobody won a championship title in any sport with one eye, and we know that MMA is mostly deadly sport on earth.
Amazing thing is that Bisping is doing a good job as an actor, you could see him in moviey xXx: Return of Xander Cage with Vin Diesel, and in some TV Series.
I am again going to recommend everyone to watch full documentary called Bisping, it's not hard to find in online or visit his website and pay five or six bucks to support him:

I do not think anyone else would continue fighting with one eye, Michael Bisping clarified how he used to pass the doctors test as the authorities will not allow him to fight with one eye if they knew, so he used to bypass with his wits and his coaching staff and the reason he gave is not because of the passion he was doing that, but he had no other choice in life other than fighting to make a living.

Now that the UFC 273 has passed and has given us a juicy-juicy fight and I really think that the 273 was really an epic event because of what Gilbert Burns and Khamzat Chimaev did, and Khamzat Chimaev don't want the easy route but decided to brawl with Burns, but I think the next event is some kind of OK so here it is,

Events fights will surely change and are not yet final the information can be found here Tapology

I have updated the list on my post, thanks to tokeweed for providing updated information last time was on the wiki and now Tapology is a great site that is updated and you can surely see upcoming fights and surely tons of information about the fighters and upcoming fights, I have quoted it and post it here again so everybody could see,


I know the fight between Gilbert Burns VS Khamzat Chimaev is already finished, but there are many that say Gilbert Burns really won the fight, and there are many speculating that the 3rd round was a pretty much close fight, the 1st round definitely was for Khamzat Chimaev, the 2nd was for Gilbert Burns no doubt about that because Chimaev was Knockdown from that round, but the controversial 3rd round definitely had caused an uproar to a lot of people that Burns won that round, but yes even though the fight was a very outstanding fight and kudos for both fighters but in my opinion, Khamzat Chimaev clearly won the 3rd round, I have count both fighters light, medium, and heavy strikes and pertaining to all that Khamzat Chimaev have landed many strikes, clearly both men are worthy to have a 5 rounds fight, and I really want a rematch, even though I know Khamzat Chimaev have a difficult time defeating Burns, I think that is a good conclusion for all debates.

[Welsh]

I'm aware of the story behind it all, but I haven't watched that specific documentary, did his team know about the eye? I'm surprised if they would openly admit to that, since you'd like to think there would be certain ramifications to allowing a fighter, with one eye to fight, and therefore endangering him.

I can tell you now, if I lost a eye in the UFC I would never step back in. While it might be irrational to fear losing the other the same way, since the statistics are behind you, I wouldn't risk it. The thing is it was quite clear now looking back that Bisping was compromised on the one side, as he definitely wasn't as good as defending.

[TopTort777]

I think we will never understand and realize what Bisping came through. It is easy to cover an eye with a palm for few seconds or minutes. And it is completely different to fight like this, to get that kind of level of reaction to cover or dodge everything that comes from right side. He has right stance, so everything that comes to him is a bit further. Much respect to this guy.

[Welsh]

I'm just glad he managed to get the belt, since if he didn't it would have all seemed like for nothing. I'm still not sure I could justify losing a eye for belt, but there we are. I'm also a fan of his commentary, I sometimes look at discussions around the fighting on the night, and it seems he gets a lot of criticism, along with Joe Rogan. I'm not sure exactly why that is, I've always found him entertaining, and also quite insightful at times.

Also, his podcast is pretty good, very down to earth in typical Bisping fashion.  

I just noticed the cancelled fights on this card, this would have been an absolute banger of a card if they wasn't cancelled. Like I said before I actually think its a decent fight night how it is now, but Uriah Hall had a fight cancelled, and I feel that fight would have been that little extra that was needed to really push this card to the top.

I posted some good sites where everybody could get info, match replays and stats in the op.  Have fun with that.  I'm not as much of a UFC stats nut as I used to but doing research on that stuff before making a bet is really fun.  And the bets kinda test you if you made the right call based on all the info available to you.  The winning part is kinda hard tho.  Lol.

Heres a couple of vids.  Watching Belal Muhammad maul Thompson like that might have made the line on Luque a little closer.  If that didn't happen Luque could be lined wider at 1.40 or lower imho.

Michael Bisping said these things in his own podcast or during the Joe Rogan Podcast about how many fights he fought with one eye and how he was able to bypass the doctors test, he said they were using the old method of measuring the vision with fixed alphabets and he would memorize the patterns and if the doctor checks him up close and he usually gets the help from his team and he said the testing was absurd as hell and hence he passed them all  . 

I can tell you now, if I lost a eye in the UFC I would never step back in.

With both eyes it is difficult to be in a fight let alone in the UFC and then becoming the champion. He is a tough SOB .

Yeah, and that tells us how good QC is in UFC XD. And that was fairly recently (to some extent), so if a half-blind guy can pass doctor controls, I am sure a bunch of them can bypass USADA tests XD. Regarding Bisping, that makes even more emphasis on his fight with Rockhold, damn peek Bisping was really good. Could watch that KO every day.

Yes! and because of that I thank you for providing great sites where we can get great information on upcoming fights surely enough you have contributed to the UFC community more than enough and because of that I will give you my thanks,

And with your provided video I can say is I am shocked by Luque's performance more than Belal Muhammad's and clearly because of this I am torn on who's the side I will pick, I was shocked on the counter Luque has pulled on Chiesa and clearly, Michael Chiesa is not your average run of the mill kind of fighter and Vicente Luque just pull a reversal on the ground, and I surely never see that all day, and thanks for the videos, and information I surely have already watched this video, about Luque, but I kind of lost it in my mind, and because of this I have now a clear mind in giving my picks later, and I have seen how Luque have the composure of self-control over certain pressure so thanks again.

[tokeweed]

^  Yeah Chiesa has a tendency to expose his neck but I don't think there was anything he could do there.  Luque is a legit black belt in BJJ and it def showed.  So Muhammad should be a little extra careful if he thinks he can do Luque like he did Thompson.

Anyway here are the weigh in results.  Drakkar Klose initially didn't make weight and was given an hour.  He did eventually but he looked terribad.  He was dehydrated and shaking on the scale.  Kinda reminded me of Aspen Ladd.  I won't be including him in my parlays.

Vicente Luque (171) vs Belal Muhammad (170.5)
Caio Borralho (186) vs Gadzhi Omargadzhiev (186)
Miguel Baeza (171) vs Andre Fialho (171)
Mayra Bueno Silva (136) vs Wu Yanan (136)
TJ Laramie (145.5) vs Pat Sabatini (146)

I forgot what happened in the Muhammad / Thompson fight, but Thompson is actually a brown belt under Carlos Machado, while Muhamad is purple, so I'm kinda curious what happened there (and yeah, I know belt colors don't matter generally speaking, but still). I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into a stand-up fight, Muhamad is a Rufus protege, so...
