🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

William knight is my bet of the night. He has shown in recent fights he has the ability to mix his attacks up. I always thought he was a knock out artist but he showed some good wrestling. I think the problem with Knight is he is so heavy because of all the muscle he is carrying that he finds it hard to keep up with his opponent but I think he will get the knock out this time and I think going for a round 1 knockout is the best value.

I do not think Islam is being investigated. People are now calling out Dan Hooker for making up the rumors and he could be in trouble if found guilty. The puncture wounds that people were talking about appear to be fake to someone photoshopped the pictures to make it look like he had a wound where a iv normally goes.

The thing with Volk is he wasn't finished as easy as how the lines showed.  The lines were so wide they gave Volk's line some value.  The lines should've been closer to 1.90 for both or maybe slight favorite for Makhachev.  But we know books juice these lines so if there's a rematch they will prolly lay it at Makhachev at 1.50 -1.60 or something.

Everyone expected for Makhachev to be like Khabib, so maybe that is the reason he was so heavy favorite, but he clearly is not on Khabib level.
When this two guys fight again in rematch I think odds will be very much different and Volkanovski will have bigger chance to win in my oppinion.
One thing I don't like with UFC is their shit rating, they still have Volkanovski to be best p4p fighter above Islam, that is totally stupid what they are doing.

Volkanovski has learned from all of his fights but Islam looks stuck when he cannot submit or take his opponent down. I thought Islamd was going to get a easy submission like everyone else but he struggled getting take downs and then when he did get some he did not look like submitting Volkanovski. If the rematch is made I think putting a bet on Volkanovski decision is the most likely outcome because I do not think he has the power to knock Islam out and Islam will continue to try to take him down and do nothing because he has not learned to do any thing else in his career.

[YuginKadoya]

I know that the fight will be very exciting to watch.
But Jones himself has been inactive for more than 2 years and he has to fight Gane where he is also one of the heavyweight fighters who is quite strong and must be watched out for, moreover Gane has a slightly younger age than Jones so his stamina in fighting will be Gane is superior and we can see from his last few fights Gane has managed to have a perfect record.
Even though Jones is a former light-heavyweight king and pound-for-pound No. 1, he will struggle a bit in the March fight as he is just getting into his first fight and will have to adapt to it.

Surely this is an exciting fight to watch for sure, and after looking at some of Jone Jones's fight highlights I can see why there are so many fans that are still lingering when he is fighting well I think because of his great transitioning when he is throwing that punch or kicks, but yeah because of that inactivity it could surely get to him and make him vulnerable to some of Ciryl Gane's technical Prowess, but both fighters surely have that and this could become a fight when you made an error you will surely be punished by it, and yeah this can also be a close match because both surely have that technicality and the speed of a light heavyweight is still there in them,

Dunno man...  Andrade is just too good.  I'm not sure why the UFC is matching up Blanchfield vs girls who are too high up.  It was supposed to be vs Talia Santos before she pulled out due to injury.  Santos is ranked no. 1 and had a good showing vs Shev losing just via split decision.

Now Andrade is filling in on short notice.  She's no. 3 in the women's 125 ranking.  But maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe the UFC see something in Blanchfield.  :/  But from what I've seen, it's a huge step up.

And yup...  It's a filler event before 285 with Jones vs Gane.  As I always say, it's better than nothing.

For me, it is really unfair to be pitted against Jéssica Andrade and Andrade can be too much for Blanchfield but I think when it comes to wrestling me Erin Blanchfield has the level to dominate even Molly McCann was overwhelmed by it and humble because Blanchfield's technique, but when it comes to power Jéssica Andrade surely have that can could be a pain to Erin Blanchfield for sure, but still, I am supporting the fighting kitty Erin Blanchfield for accepting this challenge,

The more Australian fighters rewatch Makhachev vs Volkanovski fight, the more they are confirmed that Volkanovski was robbed. I find it funny to see that Alex first admitted his loss and said it was a nice test of himself, but not he is 100% sure that he has won and now wants to punish Makhachev for robbery and cheating (the picture of Makhchevs pumped vein has gone viral already). Why didnt he punish Makhachev during the fight then? It might sound that I am defending Makhachev, but actually I vote for truth and sports behaviour. If you think you are the best, prove it with first attempt, but not after multiple tries.

IV usage is not prohibited by the UFC or USADA if performed by a licensed physician or has a prohibition by a medical expert, but why is this a big issue IVs surely are banned in Australia, that is why I think Islam Makhachev can disclose this with a licensed Physician that can surely be agreed in administering it to Makhachev while cutting weight,

And yeah after Alexander Volkanovski thought that he was robbed by Makhachev his ego kicked in and change all of that humbled because it was a close fight, he would surely get all the praise for all of that drama the fight was finished and he doesn't do anything in the stand up he was nearly wrecked by Makhachev and nearly got knockout by him, so yeah he should have proven it by then inside the octagon I agree with you,

Yeah and it's Andrade on short notice in a 5 round fight.  Cardio could be an issue...  So there are some things where Blanchfield could have the edge.  But I heard Andrade never left Vegas and she continued to train in the UFC PI after her last match.

And we can't really put too much stock on Blanchfield's win vs McCann as she sucks just like how Paddy Pimblet sucks.  Lol.  They're just a couple of hyped up fighters.  Pimblet could still improve tho.

William knight is my bet of the night. He has shown in recent fights he has the ability to mix his attacks up. I always thought he was a knock out artist but he showed some good wrestling.

William Knight isn't really that good.  But between him and Prachnio, I agree with the pick cos Prachnio sucks more.  Lol.

Another tape to watch.

I think most people, who are not connected with combat sports, will see Volkanovski as a winner, because he completely took ending of fifth round. A lot of people dont remember what was in previous rounds, but remember only what happened a minute ago. Their thoughts would be like "if Volkanovski had more time, he would have finished him".

I think both of fighters would agree for a rematch, but UFC management would be sceptical about it. Media has already gone crazy about it. My YouTube is full of "Makhachev is going to get banned for X years for cheating/taking doping/illegal IV" and crap like that.

It was back, and forth I'll give you that. However, I don't tend to agree with scoring control time, when they aren't doing anything with it. They have to at least be threatening with submissions or doing damage. Islam didn't do that, instead he was the one getting punched while he was in a dominant position. We've seen it before that judges have favoured the bottom fighter when they're the most active, and doing the damage. So, I was kind of expecting them to do the same on the night.

To be honest, I don't even want to see these guys back in their own divisions defending their titles, because I don't think anyone really challenges them. I just want to see the rematch. I'd like to see how Islam approaches the second fight, since his wrestling was largely ineffective.

I've seen fight stats. Islam did more control, Volkanovski landed more accented strikes. Islam did more takedown attempts, Volkanovski did takedown defences. Draw or rematch would be a best solution. Because hard to believe that control > striking. Their fight can be interpreted that Islam neutralized all Volkanovski strengths, Volkanovski neutralized Islams wrestling I think I have already written ten times in this topic - dont let judges decide your faith. KO/Sub or go home.

IV usage is not prohibited by the UFC or USADA if performed by a licensed physician or has a prohibition by a medical expert, but why is this a big issue IVs surely are banned in Australia, that is why I think Islam Makhachev can disclose this with a licensed Physician that can surely be agreed in administering it to Makhachev while cutting weight,

Is it? I thought it is completely opposite. It is prohibited to use IV to recover dehydration balance. This is cheating, and problem of UFC weight-cut system. Fighters instead of fighting in their weight, make huge cuts to fit in, try to recover and fight as a bigger and stronger opponent.

I'm not as confident as tokeweed on Andrade since Erin Blanchfield is actually a pretty good fighter. She has very good technique, crisp striking, and very technical when it hits the ground. I mean, she dismantled the fan favourite in Molly Mccann, and I mean dismantled her. Andrade on short notice though? That's a real tough fight, and she has some decent takedown defense of her own, and I'd favour Andrade on the feet. If Erin wins it'll be a massive statement, but I can see why Andrade is slightly edging the odds.

I'm wondering whether I be a bit cheeky, and go for a Andrade win by decision. Since, she'll be very wary of that takedown, and it might mean she's a little more shy in the striking, and thus won't get the finish. 7.00 odds if I recall correctly, that's some pretty damn good odds.

[bittraffic]

That Volks vs Islam fight really stir the folks, now we are seeing videos claiming Islam cheated. Dana will really need to put them again in the Octagon as soon as possible. The difference this time is that they are more aware of what to do.

I kinda believe what toke said that Andrade is too good. She seems to take her fights seriously and is confident enough to accept the fight on such short notice. It's 1.75 vs 2.1. Seem close and there could be a chance for Blanchfield to win. I think put my bet too early since the odds had changed.

Erin Blanchfield is definitely capable of winning here, but for that to happen it'll likely need to hit the ground. It all depends on how good Andrade can defend the takedowns. Although, she's shown in her past fights she's pretty good at that. I think the odds are correct though, I think this is a closer fight that a lot of people think it's going to be. The real question is whether this will be a wrestling or striking dominant fight. If it's the latter, then yeah I'd naturally have to side with Andrade. I'll probably be going for the unlikely event of Andrade winning via a decision. Both ladies are capable of ending this fight, in different ways which means it should actually be a pretty entertaining fight. One of the one's to look forward too compared to the rest of the card.

Again, if we bring up Molly McCann she isn't really a top 10 or even a top 15 in the UFC in her weight class.  So we can't really use to gauge what Blachfield could do vs Andrade.  But I could be wrong.  The funny thing tho is the fans at Tapology voted Talia Santos vs Andrade close to a coin flip but has Andrade as the slight favorite.  I rate Santos a tad higher compared to Andrade after what Santos showed against Shev.  And Santos is kinda big for her division.

Anyway...  Weigh results are in.  Everybody made weight.

Jessica Andrade (124) vs Erin Blanchfield (125.5)
Jordan Wright (204) vs Zac Pauga (205.5)
Josh Parisian (266) vs Jamal Pogues (249.5)
William Knight (206) vs Marcin Prachnio (205)
Jim Miller (155.5) vs Alexander Hernandez (156)
Nazim Sadykhov (155.5) vs Evan Elder (155.5)   
Lina Lansberg (135.5) vs Mayra Bueno Silva (136)
Jamall Emmers (145) vs Khusein Askhabov (146)
Ovince Saint Preux (206) vs Philipe Lins (203.5)
AJ Fletcher (171) vs Themba Gorimbo (171)
Clayton Carpenter (125) vs Juancamilo Ronderos (125)

[Welsh]

Yeah, Molly definitely isn't a world beater, but she's a difficult fight for most fighters out there. However, her ground game got exposed. Now, Erin has a fairly substantial MMA career before the UFC, there's some good footage out there that shows she definitely has a special type of understanding on the ground, and I don't think she's got chance to show all of her skills off yet.

However, I don't think she'll like the pressure that Andrade can bring, and that might be the defining factor. Tokeweed, are you expecting a finish in this fight? I'm trying to gauge whether I risk a decision win for Andrade or not, since the odds are very long at 7.00 for Andrade. She has enough volume, and if Erin can get takedowns, and make it scrappy when shes in trouble it could well go to a decision, and potentially a split one at that.

[YuginKadoya]

Yeah, and it's Andrade on short notice in a 5 round fight.  Cardio could be an issue...  So there are some things where Blanchfield could have the edge.  But I heard Andrade never left Vegas and she continued to train in the UFC PI after her last match.

And we can't really put too much stock on Blanchfield's win vs McCann as she sucks just like how Paddy Pimblet sucks.  Lol.  They're just a couple of hyped up fighters.  Pimblet could still improve tho.

I really don't know why the top 3rd rank Jessica Andrade, would be the one that Erin Blanchfield a 10th rank would be her opponent, maybe Jennifer Maia or Viviane Araújo was an OK match for Blanchfield, but I really like Erin Blanchfield's style and this is a good opportunity for her to get the upper rank faster, but this is going to be a tough fight for her for sure, but I am still positive with the skill of Erin Blanchfield that she can take Jessica Andrade, I just feel it that this fighting Kitty is ready for anything,

Is it? I thought it is completely opposite. It is prohibited to use IV to recover dehydration balance. This is cheating, and problem of UFC weight-cut system. Fighters instead of fighting in their weight, make huge cuts to fit in, try to recover and fight as a bigger and stronger opponent.

It wasn't, that is why I really think that IVs are not really prohibited to use in the UFC, but with a medical prescription for some that are cutting weight because of dehydration, here is Ali Abdelaziz on the IV used,



But he has deleted this post because he made some typo or something because the allowed litter to be administered was 100 ML only but even though Ali Abdelaziz, have some error in this, it was backed up by Brett Okamoto







And another one was Jeff Novitzki with a proper explanation,











But there are no further announcements if Islam Makhachev really used IVs so let's wait for further announcements,

[AverageGlabella]

Why is William Knight not very good? He has won most of his fights with a knock out and you can see the size of him he is very big for any one that he fights. I think he needs to improve on his wrestling but if he can do that I think he is top 5 contender because he does have very big power in his hands. I think he struggles against the top 10 atm because of his wrestling because people know they can take him down and stop him from hitting them with his big punches but I think he can train his wrestling and become a very good fighter.

[tokeweed]

It's in the realm of possbility that Andrade finishes Blachfield or Andrade gets finished because she got in the match up on short notice.  So her cardio could be suspect.  And the way Andrade fights, she'll def need the gas tank to go thru all 5 rounds.  So yeah, Andrade's camp prolly has a game plan to finish it early.

Btw..  The lines are getting closer as a lot of guys are dropping their action on Blanchfield.  There's some value with Andrade now.

The original bout was weirder.  Blanchfield was supposed to fight Talia Santos, the no. 1 contender.  The match makers prolly rate Blanchfield highly.

Oh yeah it was originally Taila Santos that is the original fight for Erin Blanchfield the UFC might be seeing Blanchfield as that high and mighty kind of fighter, or maybe they don't like Erin Blanchfield at all, but still, this is an opportunity for Erin Blanchfield to showcase what she can do, but Taila Santos cancelation of the fight was due to visa issue, which unusual for fighters that are fighting overseas and keeps on moving places for the fight to take place, but I really don't want to put some issue on it,


Now here are my picks for the UFC Fight Night: Andrade vs. Blanchfield

Jéssica Andrade VS Erin Blanchfield

The stake odds for this fight are 1.89 for Andrade and 2.04 for Blanchfield, Pretty much on Erin Blanchfield's interview on how she prepared for this short notice fight, she looks very confident that she will be taking Jessica Andrade's 3rd rank spot, surely Jessica Andrade has the power, but Erin Blanchfield now also have transitioned herself in getting those muscle ripped and I think Erin Blanchfield got better wrestling than Jessica Andrade, so I will surely go with the underdog fighting kitty Erin Blanchfield,

Zac Pauga VS Jordan Wright

The stake odds for this fight are 1.38 for Pauga and 3.35 for Wright, for me even though Jordan Wright has a pretty nifty experience with the most wins that were not from the UFC, he now got 3 consecutive losses and now fighting Zac Pauga, so this is really crucial for him he badly needed this win so much, but for me Pauga got 1 lost, but he is pretty much decent with cage warriors, so my pick for this fight is Zac Pauga

Josh Parisian VS Jamal Pogues

The stake odds for this fight are 3.20 for Parisian and 1.41 for Pogues, Josh Parisian looks slower than ever, for me, Jamal Pogues has the speed and balance and this is his debut going to the UFC, he surely got takedowns, and a good fast strikes that Josh Parisian might not see, for me my pick is Jamal Pogues,

[notblox1]

UFC event started earlier today so tune in live now guys and watch if you can, Ovince St. Preux was in prelims and he finished fight in less than a minute with a KO from Philipe Lins!
I am not so much excited about this fight card, but I always want to see heavyweight fighters in octagon, and there are many of them today in main card.

All my Predictions are like this:

Erin Blanchfield
Zac Pauga
Josh Parisian
Marcin Prachnio
Jim Miller
Nazim Sadykhov

[YuginKadoya]

Now here are the results of my picks for the UFC Fight Night: Andrade vs. Blanchfield

Jéssica Andrade VS Erin Blanchfield ROUND 2 SUBMISSION - WIN

For this fight, all have surely seen that Erin Blanchfield could be a potential threat to even the champion Valentina Shevchenko, surely Erin Blanchfield doesn't have the power with her stand up but her fast reflex are giving Andrade a hard time but when it comes to the ground she is really in a different caliber, and Erin Blanchfield has studies Valentina Shevchenko and her fight with Jessica Andrade because Erin Blanchfield have used the same method as Valentina Shevchenko hers was just precise and have the control over Jessica Andrade, that is why Blanchfield was so confident in her interview that she will be ranked 3 when she defeats Jessica Andrade,


Zac Pauga VS Jordan Wright ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

Zac Pauga has gone the distance, I have watched the movement of Jordan Wright in his recent fights and it was very sloppy while Zac Pauga has the rhythm you will surely know who's more technical than Wright that is why I bet for Zac Pauga, and in the interview, he can surely control people is boxing was precise and dominant even though it was not a TKO because Jordan Wright is super durable but still because of that precise striking Zac Pauga is the winner,

Josh Parisian VS Jamal Pogues ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

Jamal Pogues broke his right arm with standing in the 2nd round but the fight still continues, surely you can see from Pogue's rhythm that he is a thinking fighter when his hand broke from standing he has to control the fight with his wrestling prowess, and have gas out Josh Parisian in doing so, the fight have to keep on going on Jamal Pogues way it was really an amazing game plan and the man many now in the heavyweight class has now incorporating technicality in their game and I think Jamal Pogues can also take on Derrick Lewis for sure,

[klidex]

I am not so much excited about this fight card, but I always want to see heavyweight fighters in octagon, and there are many of them today in main card.

Watching UFC fights is indeed more interesting if you are in the heavyweight class because from a fighter's point of view, the body posture is quite large and muscular when throwing punches and kicks and looks very hard so that anyone who witnesses it can give a special sensation of excitement.
However, for me, I like lightweight fights because the fighters look very agile and have stamina that doesn't get tired easily, so I don't get bored easily when watching those fights.
In betting I also prefer and often bet on lightweight and my mainstay fighter is Islam Makhachev.

[AverageGlabella]

William Knight was my bet and he did not even try to fight. He stood there getting his leg beat up and was just nodding his head even his coach was angry at him. Does he get cut after this fight because at the least you expect fighters to fight but he was just a standing target. He tried 2 take downs but his leg was so bad that he could not complete them. I do not think he landed many punches maybe 3/4 the whole fight. I think Dana is going to be pissed off and might give him 1 more chance but if he performs like that again I can see him getting cut. A shame because he has 1 of the best physiques in the ufc.

Here are the results.

The fight card started a bit earlier than usual and hence missed the prelim fights. I was expecting Jim Miller to win the fight even though he was a heavy underdog but the rest of the results were as expected. One surprise was Jamall Emmers win who was a heavy underdog surprising everyone with his performance.
