Great to see we finally have exact date for Adesanya vs Pereira fight in November 12!
This is going to be the hardest fight for Adesanya after his adventure to light-heavyweight division and loss from Jan Błachowicz.
I just saw early betting odds on and Adesanya is heavy favorite, but there is more value in betting on Pereira.

Moving on to this weekend UFC event, and my pick in main event is on Jamahal Hill who is younger, in better form and he has slight reach advantage.
One more fight I am excited to watch is heavyweight clash Augusto Sakai vs Sergey Spivak, and we could see some surprises in other fights.
Speaking about heavyweight, Jon Jones posted his training video and said he is preparing for comeback against Ngannou or Miocic:

Remember I have told you that this autumn gonna be awesome? Welsh gonna like that - on the UFC 281 Istael Adesanya gonna face Alex Pereira   Revenge is comming. Or Pereira gonna prove once again that he is the best kickboxer on that weight division. This is going to be one of the toughest fights for Izzy.

This is a great fight for Israel Adesanya to prove if he's can beat Pereira because in kickboxing professional scene, Adesanya had met two times against Pereira and he lose that two fights. It was 5 years before, anything already changed and I'd think Adesanya already learn with his past mistake and perform better on UFC.

Pereira is really weak in ground fight and Adesanya even though doesn't good in ground fight, but he can escape if his opponent force him to fight on ground. Did we will see the first submission win by Adesanya?

Lezzz gooo!  Let's go for max value and bet 100 bucks each sent directly to our wallets, whoever wins.  If you win I give you 100, if I win your give me 100.  And here's the thing...  How long do we have to wait?  I'm pretty sure it won't happen this year but it could happen next year.  So bet is on until early 2024 or do you really want to wait?    I'm ok with whatever you want.

All good, Bitcoin sent to wallet of the winner.
I am OK with $100 with all the rules we agreed, but let's limit time period for the end of year 2022, so if fight happens until then our bet stands.
Next year 2023 is not so far away but in next year we should revise out rules and confirm if we agree or not, so anyone can choose to accept or refuse.

Lol then I'm pretty sure the bet isn't happening cos no way the UFC is matching those two again right away.  Nunes' next match would be at 145 to defend her belt there.  Pena on the other hand will prolly fight somebody else to make her way up into title contention again.

Here are the weigh in results.  One fighter missed weight.  And I think Quinlan vs Witt was rescheduled.

Thiago Santos (206) vs Jamahal Hill (205)
Vicente Luque (170.5) vs Geoff Neal (171)
Zac Pauga (239) vs. Mohammed Usman (236.5)
Juliana Miller (125) vs Brogan Walker (125.5)
Augusto Sakai (260) vs Serghei Spivac (249.5)
Priscila Cachoeira (125.5) vs Ariane Lipski (128.5)*
Sam Alvey (186) vs Michal Oleksiejczuk (185.5)
Erick Gonzalez (155) vs Terrance McKinney (155.5)
Bryan Battle (171) vs Takashi Sato (170.5)
Josh Quinlan (169) vs Jason Witt (170)
Miranda Granger (115.5) vs Cory McKenna (115.5)
Stephanie Egger (134.5) vs Mayra Bueno Silva (135.5)

Enjoy the event guys.

Or Pereira gonna prove once again that he is the best kickboxer on that weight division. This is going to be one of the toughest fights for Izzy.

The signals for this fight were actually given in Izzy's last belt guard fight. They were on the same card, and Pereira seemed very eager to fight him. Honestly, I didn't anticipate this fight so early. After all, how many times did Pereira fight in the ufc, anyway. There's no longer a fighter capable of fighting Izzy anymore, so he had to be in middleweight. Izzy's job is very difficult because Pereira can TKO if his hands are too strong. I don't know which one to stand out for betting, I want to bet on this match when the fight approaches.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Hill highlighted in green are my picks

Thiago Santos VS Jamahal Hill

Stake odds for this match are 3.55 for Santos While 1.30 for Hill, well, this is absolutely a match that will become eventually crazy, Back then I really liked Thiago Santos, but right now his age is getting into him, he surely got decent wins back then but it is very different right now but still, he has come from a lost but that was against Magomed Ankalaev but for this matchup even though Thiago Santos has the experience advantage Jamahal Hill has the power advantage, he also got the height and the reach that he can use in his advantage, towards the fight, and because of that I am going with Jamahal Hill,

Vicente Luque VS Geoff Neal

Stake odds for this match are 1.51 for Luque while 2.60 for Neal, while Vicente Luque's last fight was against Belal Muhammad I really think he has done his all to win that fight while Geoff Neal's last match was against Santiago Ponzinibbio for this match I think Vicente Luque was more well-rounded, seeing him that he can finish the match in a stand-up or even in the ground, for being Well-rounded I am sure be going with Vicente Luque,

Ariane Lipski VS Priscila Cachoeira

Stake odds for this match are 1.53 for Lipski while 2.55 for Cachoeira, for this match I really love the fighting kitty Ariane Lipski, she surely got a pretty smile and beautiful face to die for, but yeah for me I will be going with the most well-rounded fighter, and even though Priscila Cachoeira has the advantage over his height, Ariane Lipski, has an advantage with his reach, and when it comes to the ground Lipski can sure pull this off, so my pick will be Ariane Lipski,

Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira is the most anticipated fight in the division and after this fight if Adesanya wins he wont be having much of a competition. However considering this to be a stand up battle, even though the momentum is with Israel Adesanya he will be having that two losses in the back of his mind and if Alex Pereira does not force the action, i think this will be another boring slow fight  .

The best fighter ever but hardly comes to fight due to outside antics, such a waste of talent as he never fought like we as a fan wanted during his prime years.

[TheNineClub]

This one was for the masses Only KOs, TKOs, and subs. The only downside of an event like this is the length of it, a bit too short, but that's not something that can be controlled. I have to note that Thiago Santos has gone on a downward spiral since his loss to Jones, but I'll give it more towards his age and the fact he's 33 pro fights in (with god knows how manny amateur fights), and that just takes it's toll. Maybe the UFC is not the best place for him anymore and I doubt he wouldn't be cut after this loss.

Check out all the opponents Jon Jones faced, after the loss none of the fighters recovered their career, everyone goes through a loosing streak and that is the situation with Thiago Santos and that is the only fight i predicted won and there were a few upsets in this card which was unexpected. I did not expect Mohammed Usman to win the fight let alone Vicente Luque loosing the fight by TKO.



On to the next event Dominick Cruz coming back after a gap against Marlon Vera and have title implications.

Yeep This is it. Too soon but yep its happening. Pereira is hyped so much after Strickland which he called Izzy fora belt fight. Seem Granted.

The result could be different to what Pereira is thinking, that was years ago. Izzy had not learned what he have learned today so it would just like Pereira is chasing his defeat on the other side. Adesanya should look at this as his chance to redeem himself and finally put an end.

It's one sided fight, that's why those fighter got KOs, TKOs and subs. Most of the times I only watch the main card since it's more interesting and more longer about their exchange punches. While preliminary card, it's full of 1-2 round(s) only.

On to the next event Dominick Cruz coming back after a gap against Marlon Vera and have title implications.

Well the next event is mostly full of unknown fighters, I think I would skip to watch and waiting for next event, but at least I would bet on women fight since it would entertain myself.

Source: Wiki

I think it is more updated if we look at the source on Tapology than with wiki but I think that event is an exciting one I like Marlon "Chito" Vera and what may happen with his fight against Dominick Cruz for now I like Chito Vera to win but will be looking out about Dominick Cruz, for some deep info,


Now here is the result on my picks and what I think happen with some of the fights in UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Hill

Thiago Santos VS Jamahal Hill ROUND 4 KO/TKO - WIN

The fight was really a Brawl or a war Thiago Santos really is putting his all with those takedowns but with no success, because Santos became too impatient with his takedowns and lost his composure, while Jamahal Hill was on point with his striking very accurate and was in composure than Thiago Santos, so that really caused his to lose to Jamahal Hill, and I have seen that comparing their power Jamahal Hill's punches was really stronger than Santos when Jamahal Hill hits Santos we could see his reaction and pretty much he reacts more hurt than when Thiago Santos hits Jamahal Hill,

Vicente Luque VS Geoff Neal ROUND 3 KO/TKO - LOST

Vicente Luque was devastated, and Geoff Neal was really on point and accurate with his strikes Geoff Neal's punches were really that strong to take effect on Luque so much and Geoff Neal really has the advantage on the stand-up he is so technical with his strikes, I really thought that Luque will resort with his ground game but with no success on it because Luque was really damaged to continue with his ground game,

Ariane Lipski VS Priscila Cachoeira CANCELLED

Disappointed but it is OK Ariane Lipski is Not Medically Cleared After Missing Weight but I have seen that their fight was moved to UFC Fight Night: Vera vs. Cruz,

[tokeweed]

^  Vicente Luque is the pie shitter of my lottery ticket.  I think it's his first time getting finished in a match in a looong time.  I'd be wary betting for him in his next matches now unless his next opponent is a total can.  But you could just see a fighter's career starting to going down when he gets back to back losses against guys who are getting better.  A couple of years ago I could never imagine Luque losing to Belal Muhammad and Geoff Neal.

Anyway, I'll make a proper roster for the next event later.  Congrats to those who cashed their tickets.

[notblox1]

This was great main event and very good KO win for Jamahal Hill and he is for sure going up in rankings after this win against Thiago Santos, next fight for him should be with someone from top 5 in light heavyweight category.
He asked for Jiri Prochazka in press conference after the fight, but he would accept fight with Jan Blachowicz.
I am not sure if Mohammed Usman has any connection with Champion Kamaru Usman but he won performance of the night in this event with Geoff Neal.

Mohammed Usman did my accumulator in. I underestimated him after watching him on the The Ultimate Fighter. I know I didn't put out any predictions, but I hopefully will be back in full swing come next event, and hopefully have a few good winners. I believe Lean Edwards against Usman is coming up too, which I'm excited for, although I do think Usman takes it, I might put a speculative bet on Edwards just for the fun of it.

Mohammed Usman messed up many bets along with Vicente Luque and even though Mohammed Usman is the brother of Kamaru Usman, he was not known to be a great fighter but under the bright lights he made his name which is incredible.

Leon Edwards has the real opportunity to score an upset when they fight for the title because Usman was rocked badly by Gilbert Burns, Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal and i consider Leon Edwards as a superior striker than the rest he faced and Usman is coming after a hand surgery, so who knows what will happen  .

That was a nice left hook KO. From the looks of the punch it seemed like he didn’t even have much power behind it but it laid Neal out cold. I guess that shows you just how much power is behind every punch they throw. Deserving of the performance of the night and the only thing that really stood out to me as being newsworthy outside of the strange “did she tap” moment early on in the night.

I think Leon edwards need to be the best version of him because usman has beaten almost every top performer in that weight category and i don't think his surgery will affect him since he is accepting the fight i think he will be ready and healed by the time of the fight.

I was really upset looking at him getting pummelled to the face by Geoff Neal two knockdowns has to to get Luque fighting like spaghetti and after that, he doesn't know what he would do anymore and so much for the well-rounded fighter I thought of him, well next event would be cool and I get to see Marlon Vera in action again but this time Alexa Grasso's match was canceled, because of Grasso's Visa issue,

This was great main event and very good KO win for Jamahal Hill and he is for sure going up in rankings after this win against Thiago Santos, next fight for him should be with someone from top 5 in light heavyweight category.
He asked for Jiri Prochazka in press conference after the fight, but he would accept fight with Jan Blachowicz.

Well, I think he can not get a title shot until he gets another fight done, and yeah I think Magomed Ankalaev or Jan Błachowicz will be a great fight after Jiri Prochazka well I say Jamahal Hill is a monster there is no doubt that he got power in his punches, no doubt about that there is no one in the UFC except David Branch who made Thiago Santos TKO and having a much effect with Hills punches, so he could be a huge opponent for Prochazka,

[tokeweed]

^  It's a shame that Grasso vs Araujo was cancelled.  That and the main event between Vera and Cruz are the only match ups worthy for a main card imho.  These other ones are good but for prelims.  This event is just like the last event.  Lots of fillers but pretty sure some of the are sleepers...  Besides the main event, Bruno Silva vs GM3 could be good and Landwehr vs Onama.

Anyway, I'm back and forth on who to pick for the main event.  Who you guys got?  Take note that San Diego is where Cruz is from.

At least this fight is not going to be boring. Yes, boring. Recent Adesanya fights are quite boring. His level of striking is on a level higher than his recent opponents, but he does not do much aggression in octagon. Yes he is fighting as number one in the fight. But he is not really aimed to finish quickly his opponent. Instead he is gaining points. Before UFC he was knocking people out. In UFC - he has knockout a noname, drunk Costa and caught Whittaker. After he got his belt, he became very cautions. Last 3 fight, dominant but boring. Pereira will force Izzy to wake up!
