🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[Balmain]

Ismagulov continued the match by boxing more and pushing his opponent. Kutateladze also tried to block him with good low kicks, both of them had good mobility and head movement. I think it was a very good match.

Buckley coordinated the match with tremendous explosive force. He almost showed off, he didn't let his opponent wrestle, he defended well. At the end of the 2nd round, the doctors did not allow him to continue because his eyes were closed. Buckley was the winner.

And speaking of the main game, the rounds were very close in the Katter-Emmet match. I hardly saw a kick in the Mac. It was almost like a boxing match. He threw good left jab while maintaining a great distance throughout the match.

Horrible night for predictions, for the most part anyway. However, we've been proper spoiled the last two weeks. I'm not sure what the record is of finishes per card, but surely this one has to be up there? In between the quick knockouts we had some competitive fights. Pretty much exactly what you want when you tune in. I don't there was a bad fight in there. Some pretty dominant performance, but at the same time still being rather entertaining.

I did end up betting, but lost on the first fight with that bloody knee.

Well, I think we can all settle down and move on with what happened to the last event and on that controversial decision that happened I don't really like what the judges decided for Calvin Kattar losing, this indeed happens if you leave the results on the judges, but moving forward is another exciting fight and I know that many will love what is installed at us next,

All fights results:



Not too long of an event, and a good one at that.

I am a bit surprised that Kattar didn't show more domination in the standup :/ I could have seen this going in Emmet's favor if it was a grappling match, but I really thought Kattar had him on the feet.

And it's always nice to see a D'Arce in a match, props to Hollan for taking it.

We don't see that in every event. Among the impressive fight besides Hollands was Ramos with his spinning back elbow. Its perfectly precise, it can't be his game plan. It must have taken much training to time that kind of attack.

I didn't listen to what was told by the predictions so I still go Kattar. It wasn't so bad though. Maybe if some other judge, it will be in his favor.

Yeah, I think I saw leea mention in one of the other UFC prediction threads it's a record KO for a single card. Did see at least one match got cancelled too, so could have been even higher. Definitely a treat -- unless you're the kind who likes fights that go the distance and/or submission, nothing beats a KO for me though

Didn't bet, but I actually predicted most of the clear favourites, so doubt I even came close to being in the sniff for a prize.

[tokeweed]

Fuck me.  Daukas is my pie shitter of the week.  I'm out.  I'll watch the replay later.

Edit:  Ok I lied, I'm still watching.  Lol.  And all of these fights so far have been great!  This is a way better event than 275.

Pretty Much I am laughing the way you have said that, it was truly a great upset for the crowd favorite Kyle Daukaus was Knockout on the 1st round Roman Dolidze have rocked Daukaus with that sweet left hook, and a recovering Daukaus then got by that Knee to the face that really knocks him out, it was really a shitty fight if you bet for Kyle Daukaus,


 

Lolol.    I was totally annoyed, I wanted to kick the TV.  But yeah...  I gotta do a better job to get the top ticket right to at least get my money back and live another day.  So note to self, don't but prelim matches in the top ticket or low level WMMA.  They're unpredictable.

And man the event was so good.  Out of all the events in the UFC this year, I think UFC London and this recent one at Austin have been the most memorable so far.  They're not even PPV events!

Each and every one of us here has different taste in what we prefer to see in a fight and for me, it really doesn't matter as long as the fighter has a technicality in his moves and controls over a fight no matter what is the outcome may be, at first I don't really like the fight going to the ground, I always like the brawl, but after seeing Khabib Nurmagomenodov fight I was really in love with the importance of the ground game, and right now fighters are more on the technicality of the fight and it is reaching over to higher divisions, mostly Heavyweight is more on a 1st round knockout but now because of Cyril Gane, the fight has turned into a new path more likely to counter those fighters that don't have a plan,

At least you haven't kicked your TV to regret ever betting for Kyle Daukaus but it was really a shitty fight actually giving him as the crowd favorite to win was surely not a good sign, but at least you still enjoyed the other fights,

Well, most fights are unpredictable, and I lost so much that 1 fight got canceled, and like you, I was frustrated because I thought that Calvin Kattar won that fight, but the judges were really blind or not looking at the fight the whole time, it was a robbery, in Kattar's part in my opinion.

[TopTort777]

Lightweight: Arman Tsarukyan VS Mateusz Gamrot
Welterweight: Neil Magny VS Shavkat Rakhmonov

I am looking forward for those two fights. I believe that a lot of people underestimate Tsarukyan and he can get easily on a higher positions in top. Few more years and he would be ready to compete with fighters like RDA, Dariush, probably McGregor.

Shavkat is a modest version of Chimaev. Just look in his kind eyes. Mark my words, fighters with a furry hats are extremely dangerous. Neil Magny probably gonna use his best tactics - winning by points. More than a half of his wins are achieved by judge decision. Unlimited gas tank. But that wont help against Shavkat.

Completely wrecked it for me. I hate losing my accumulator on the first fight, just takes all the extra tension out of the night. Although, luckily as I said this particular fight night really did deliver.

I'm going to try, and get tickets on one of the London ones. Maybe, when Aspinall or some of the Welsh fighters are due on next. I just know its expensive, and then its travelling to London, which I can tell you now I bloody hate. Hate Cities, but I've never been to an actual event, and it's probably over due the amount I actually watch these days.

I am also looking forward to those two main fights aswell and for the Main Event I think this could be a very close fight well just judging by their record and the way they fight, but I will surely get a deep dive on Arman Tsarukyan for further analysis, on what he can do,

And just like you, I also like Shavkat Rakhmonov, and yes he is compared to Khamzat Chimaev, and just like Chimaev, Rakhmonov also is ready and game whoever was given to him to fight and saying if he and Chimaev could clash he will definitely be giving him a fight hard fight and he will be ready for him, and he is annoyed at Khamzat Chimaev if he was asked about the guy,

Another right that I like was the Nathan Maness VS Umar Nurmagomedov, the fight I am thrilled about what is now the condition of the Kicking Nurmagomedov that I am curious about, that is a change of style for a sambo fighter, and I really love to see it,

I had Kattar winning too but it was so close that I guess I don't really gave a problem if the judges had the other guy in their score cards.

And I'm getting my tickets right now.  Lol.  Something that should win as it's the break even ticket...  So I wanna ask what you guys think of Nurmagomedov - Rakmanov - Moises parlayed at 1.90?

[Welsh]

Sounds good to me. Probably my three favourites on the card, that I don't see slipping up. If I were to pick one that could potentially slip up, I think it would be Shavkat. Neil Magny isn't a push over. I do expect the three of them to win though. 1.90 returns, I mean depends on how much you'd put on it. However, I'd be pretty confident of netting a return putting them in a treble.

I like the look of Tsarukyan too against Gamrot. My underdog of the night would likely be Rodolfo Vieira. Although, I'll review some tape before making any decisions on that. Just those are my early leans.

[karabiber]

Gamrot vs Holtzman. The game of the two talented and willing fighters was great. I can say that Gamrot has shown his best performance so far. I'm starting to think he might be a superstar. Gamrot still undefeated. His only lost was by idiotic split decision by judges. Even his enemy Kutaladze was admitted he lose that fight againist Gamrot.

For you, it was not really a problem but in what I see the judges are not scoring accordingly, and in my opinion, it was a robbery but yeah we can not do something about that if the judges don't deliver a result you don't like Calvin Kattar needs a result that the judges don't really need to used the score cards, a KO or a submission,

For Umar Nurmagomedov, he is a very unique kid, and Unique is the word because he doesn't borrow any style from the books of Khabib, but rather puts on kicks to his wrestling, I think this creates distance and pressure on his opponent aswell, and for Rakhmonov he is a calmer version of Khamzat Chimaev, and I really like how well verse both fighters are weth it comes to their styles both are a well-rounded fighters,

[notblox1]

I had Kattar winning too but it was so close that I guess I don't really gave a problem if the judges had the other guy in their score cards.

I did a coin toss bet for main event and I won my bet on Josh Emmett in Sportsbet
It was great odds on him to win and I like betting on underdogs many times, but he won by split decision, so it was not so easy, but I expected this to be 50/50 chances.
I didn't watch rest of the fights but I saw nice wins for Cody Stamann, Kevin Holland and not so nice for Joaquin Buckley.

Lucky for you mitey! and I also believe he is one lucky bastard to win that, Josh Emmett in my opinion was really saved by the wrong observation of the judges, but we can not do something about that it was their decision but it has a certain vibe of controversies within it, but anyway it is already happening situations like these and we just have to accept the results, well this is just my opinion and I am just frustrated on the result, Calvin Kattar just needs to make the result change by Knocking out Josh Emmett which is impossible to do,


Just in, Cowboy Cerrone wants to stick to Joe Lauzon despite having a cramp knee condition, he wants to still continue the fight in the future but Dana White says that he will not book another Donald Cerrone VS Joe Lauzon fight anymore because this is more getting like the Tony Ferguson VS Khabib Nurmagomedov fight, were it gets always canceled on their 1st match Cerrone get ill and postponed the fight and now Lauzon what in no condition to fight Cerrone and gets canceled again, so Dana White will not make another Donald Cerrone VS Joe Lauzon fight anymore so sorry for both fighters fans that are anticipating their fight,

[Welsh]

Just had a look of the next card in full. Pretty decent fight night in my eyes. We've been spoiled the last two weeks, so only natural we probably won't see the same levels, but it's looking a decent night of fights. Chris Curtis vs Rodolfo Vieira, Brian Kelleher vs Mario Bautista, including the ones already mentioned. I actually really enjoy watch both Kelleher, and Bautista so I think that's going to be one hell of a competitive fight. If I was going to pick one fight that would be a contender for fight of the night, it'll be that one. Not sure who takes it either.

not so nice for Joaquin Buckley.

Just realized I must have missed this fight. I'm not sure if I dozed out temporarily or what, but I definitely can't remember the fight.

I think we wont see anything special in Umar Nurmagomedov fight. I think he is to young to be taken very seriously. I believe people give him to much attention just due to have roots with Khabib. I think among Khabib gang, he is sort of a party-luxury-life-lover. Or I might be wrong and see him only in a shadow of his brother.

Dont understand why Donald Cerrone wants to fight Joe Lauzon that much. Does UFC have a back-up plan for cases like with Lauzon? Can they call someone on a very-very-very short notice and get a fighter that is ready to fight next day ? Cerrone - inactive for 1 years with a series of looses. I would consider to retire.

I personally haven't seen anything special about him. I do tend to agree that his name is what's carry the weight behind his hype. He's obviously a decent fighter, but champion material? Maybe. Someone who I'm going to follow, and actually be excited about? Probably not. He's no Izzy, Conor or Khabib.

I think the latest I've heard is a week maybe two week notice. I mean how many fighters are willing to step down like that, since a lot of preparation goes into the cutting, even before the actual final day where they take the majority of weight off.

Cerrone will probably be around for a little longer, strikes me as one of those fighters who just carries on despite receiving beatings every time they fight.

Thanks...  But thinking more about it, I think Moises could be the pie shitter of the event.  I don't have any other fighter in the roster to put in his place to make the line close to 2.00 tho...  And I'm not too worried much about Rakhmonov.  He's uber talented.  

And yeah..  I got Chris Curtis at the third row of my ticket but could see it go Vieira's way too esp if he takes Curtis time and get some control time.  Curtis is kinda small for the weight class.

not so nice for Joaquin Buckley.

Just realized I must have missed this fight. I'm not sure if I dozed out temporarily or what, but I definitely can't remember the fight.

It was good.  Buckley schooled the other guy and got his eye shut.
