Funny how about few weeks ago top2 p4p beat top1 p4p and now is on third place All this UFC rankings doesn't make any sense. Jon Jones was not fighting for years, now he won in one fight and he jumped on first place Many people are saying that he used drugs in his previous fights and I am sure he used steroids in last few years to get more muscle mass. Jones is a good fighter despite all this, but he cheated before and I am just waiting for someone to accuse him again.

The pound for pound title is probably the most subjective title going, so I wouldn't read into it too much. However, I would say that Jon Jones is one of the most talented fighters to have ever competed inside the UFC. So, I can see why we would be in the running for pound for pound. However, I always feel weird giving heavyweights that title due to the fact they have some of the physical advantages that other weight classes don't.
Anyway, I'll get my predictions out tomorrow of the next event, since I don't think I'll be watching this one, as I've got other things planned.

Funny how about few weeks ago top2 p4p beat top1 p4p and now is on third place I would be honest, I dont like Jon Jones because of his dirty fighting style. I dont like to see him on the first place. The guy was epsent for nearly three years, submitted a guy who is really bad at wrestling and instantly became best pound for pound fighter. He is just a good wrestler. But to avoid being not objective, I would better say that he is good wrestler, decent striker with perfect anthroponymy. These two probably think that the UFC has scammed them, they have done a lot to surely get to the ranking that they deserve and that was with hard work but Jon Jones with just 1 fight now become the P4P number one even though Ciryl Gane isn't near the top, and eventually, Jon Jones beating Gane suddenly taken the pound-4-pound throne, I think many were pretty much confused about how UFC is ranking this even though they are a fan of Jon Jones or not it really shocking after the Islam Makhachev VS Alexander Volkonovski fight Makhachev also thought that he was in the number 1 spot but all of a sudden a 3 years absent inside the Octagon Jon Jones got a title fight and become the number 1 I think the UFC needs to explained this it is pretty much confusing actually, Just hope that p4p rating, as it is created separately from UFC by overall opinion, after "return of Jon Jones" hype is over, will be revised. People waited for his return, people dreamed to see him again, people got that. I even think that if he would have lost, he would still be high in that rating Lets get back to incoming event. What do you think about Volkov vs Romanov fight. Volkov has a zebra record during last years. Romanov was 16-0, but lost his last fight, which a lot of people thought was a draw. Seems a cool fight on a paper, that is advices to watch. Maybe you are right, they could be rating along with the hype train for Jones and his return to the octagon, and with that 1 win against Ciryl Gane that was currently the number 1 in the heavyweight division people thought that he is the real GOAT, upon getting this number 1 in the P4P many are really upset and not really buying this kind of preposterous kind of things that the UFC is giving them,

Jones is a good fighter despite all this, but he cheated before and I am just waiting for someone to accuse him again. I'm not an expert in fights (in fact, I don't even understand anything about fighting styles) and I'm not an expert in UFC either, I'm a newbie, but for the short time I've been following the ufc it seems to me that this ranking is based more on what the what fighter can bring to the ufc how he can benefit the ufc in terms of audience, I know that the fighter needs to be a strong guy to be at the top, but the criteria they use to assign these rankings seems to me that they analyze to what extent to give a high position to a certain fighter will be advantageous for the ufc itself a good example of this is the case of c who didn't fight for years but the guy was already very strong and an image was created of being a guy who takes down anyone, even in this fight the comments i heard on youtube and that he wouldn't lose against ciryl gane, I believe that the UFC marketing guys, even before the fight against ciryl gane, must have immediately thought about the benefit of having Jon Jones at the top, and now all attention is focused on Jon Jones and the advantages of the next fights

Lets wait for Jones to make his first heavyweight title defence and make a conclusion if he really is the greatest or not So far it looked like it was an easy win for him. Stipe Miocic promised to smash Jones. Hope we wont have to wait years before Jones fights again. Who else we have among heavyweights ? Pavlovich ? Imho that is going to be copy/paste fight against Gane. Imho a wrestler is needed to win, a wrestler that will counter Jones wrestling, the one who will be able to throw bombs. Jon Jones does not need to fight again to cement his place as the greatest fighter in history, just look at his fighting career and he basically took on undefeated fighters throughout his career and even Jon Jones promised to stop Stipe Miocic before the championship rounds and with Stipe at 40 years and not fighting for the past two years, it will be a challenge for him against Jon Jones. No doubt that Jones cement his place in UFC history, but hard to say he is currently best fighter in UFC. Not every fighters, that is in UFC hall of fame was on p4p first place. For example Ronda Rousey, that probably introduced the world women MMA or at least was the first chick that brought women mma to a next level, is a member of UFC hall of fame, but never was in women p4p. There were even no p4p rating for women during her prime

That's just how it is when you are hated by the owner Dana White but you win the championship and as soon as someone who looks like doing something unbelievable, you are quickly replaced without even putting to second thought your hard work and sacrifices. That's why many already left their MMA league and pursue their pro career in other MMA competitions where they get enough acknowledgment and merits. It's not just about the money from now on, but the disrespect is so awful that they didn't even consider giving a few months for Islam to wear that title and he strips him just like that.

Seems a cool fight on a paper, that is advices to watch. Alexander Volkanovski is more experienced compared to Romanov. That is probably something which is going to give Alexander Volkanovski the advantage. This is a very well matched fight. And if anyone thinks that after me saying Alexander Volkanovski has a lot more experience he is a lot older as well, it is not true. Volkanovski is currently 34 years old and his opponent is 32. I think you have confused Volkanovski and Volkov If Volkanovski, a featherweight, would fight such heavyweight as Romanov, that would be hell of a show ~66-70kg vs 120kg If Alex Volkov survive first round, Romanov would be without stamina till the end of the fight. Some people could say that Romanov, that has a wrestling base, would submit Volkov, that has a base of karate, I suggest you to re-watch Volkov vs Werdum fight. Werdum, as master of BJJ, did not manage to submit Alex during 16minutes. Tom Aspinall however managed to do that, but that is due to Volkov being slow. Volkov is tall, huge and slow.

Right, onto the predictions. It's a tough night, and I'm fancying quite a lot of the underdogs this time around, and because I won't be watching the event, my predictions will be a lot more risky, since I'm not betting.
Jared Gooden Tyson Nam Tony Gravely JJ Aldrich Mario Bautista Sedriques Dumas Davey Grant Karl Williams Vitor Petrino Said Nurmagomedov Ricardo Ramos Ryan Spann Alexandr Romanov Petr Yan
I haven't got any massive favourites; Said I'm actually pretty worried despite his name, and reputation. Romanov I'm hoping gets the win, and Petr Yan always starts slow so he's a massive risk, even in a five rounder.

^ I hate you. Now I'm having second thoughts on my top ticket.. I put Harris on as I like him in this spot. I like him a lot actually. :/ We have the same picks except for a couple. Here's how my lottery ticket could now look like... I made a few changes as the lines changed and it's hard to get value at the top. Yan could be my pie shtter. Could change again after weigh ins. Harris - Yan Add: Ramos - Dumas - Aldrich Add: Nurmagomedov - Spann Add: Petrino - Williams - Gravely Add: Volkov - Assuncao Add: Nam I left Bautista out as he really doesn't give value with where his line is at.

My bad, I got the names mixed up. I was visualizing one person and naming him the other. Probably that wouldn't have happened to me, if both of them did not have the same first name though -_- Anyway, I actually think that Volkov being so tall is actually going to work against him. Because he is going against a fighter who is really good with takedowns. I am not going to say that it is easy taking down a huge tower of a man like that. But at the same time, it is easy to lose balance when you are so tall. At the same time, the power of Volkov is unmatched. He can one-punch knockout almost anyone. So this fight is going to be an interesting one to watch.

Maybe you are right, they could be rating along with the hype train for Jones and his return to the octagon, and with that 1 win against Ciryl Gane that was currently the number 1 in the heavyweight division people thought that he is the real GOAT, upon getting this number 1 in the P4P many are really upset and not really buying this kind of preposterous kind of things that the UFC is giving them,
That's just how it is when you are hated by the owner Dana White but you win the championship and as soon as someone who looks like doing something unbelievable, you are quickly replaced without even putting to second thought your hard work and sacrifices.

Dana White is a piece of shit. Whatever he sees money he grabs onto it. He does not think twice about anyone else. Remember the Conor vs Khabib fight? The fight was promoted by violence. That's something that should never have been done. Because we all know that violence is only going to increase if you promote something through it. He saw that Jon Jones' fight was really hyped. So he just took the chance and he is trying to squeeze every penny out of it.

^ I hate you. Now I'm having second thoughts on my top ticket.. I put Harris on as I like him in this spot. I like him a lot actually. :/ Honestly, I wouldn't doubt yourself over my picks, I've included some risky one's in there. Harris probably does it, but I'm not betting so I've been a lot more risky than I would if I were betting. If I was betting this weekend, Harris would likely be included, as I often do different bets to my actual predictions. Since, I sometimes go for the safer options in the bets, despite feeling that a fight will go another way. I do think it's a risky fight though, and think it'll be rather close. Closer than the odds suggest at least. Dana White is a piece of shit. Whatever he sees money he grabs onto it. He does not think twice about anyone else. Remember the Conor vs Khabib fight? The fight was promoted by violence. That's something that should never have been done. Because we all know that violence is only going to increase if you promote something through it. He saw that Jon Jones' fight was really hyped. So he just took the chance and he is trying to squeeze every penny out of it.
UFC definitely encouraged the drama outside of the ring to sell tickets, and then publicly criticized everyone who jumped in the ring, and out of the ring at the end of the fight. I'm not sure boxing could get away with something like that, UFC still has that sort of attitude which actually prevents a lot of people from watching it. Personally, I avoided the UFC for a while due to me thinking it was too violent, and all it was about was hurting people. Obviously, I know better than that now, but I feel Dana's attitude to a lot of things doesn't exactly help its reputation.

I haven't got any massive favourites; Said I'm actually pretty worried despite his name, and reputation. Romanov I'm hoping gets the win, and Petr Yan always starts slow so he's a massive risk, even in a five rounder.
Said Nurmagomedov is massive favorite for me but odds are not great unless you play some special bet on him. My pick in Multi Master Challenge is on Ariane Lipski to win and she is heavy underdog and it will be huge surprise, but I just like it. I probably wont watch this event live but it is worth checking main card later.

~ All this UFC rankings doesn't make any sense. Jon Jones was not fighting for years, now he won in one fight and he jumped on first place Jon Jones is considered as the greatest fighter ever to compete in MMA and now he actively moved to a higher weight division and won the belt and he is now the pound for pound best, when he left and vacated the title, he was the pound for pound best for years and now he is back and he just reclaimed his position. Many people are saying that he used drugs in his previous fights and I am sure he used steroids in last few years to get more muscle mass. Jones is a good fighter despite all this, but he cheated before and I am just waiting for someone to accuse him again. It is not a surprise that Jon Jones is a cocaine user and parties heavily even during training camps and the spikes found during testing are now cleared by the testing authority as it gives no added benefit and since Jon Jones had the money and lawyers he fought in court and hence USADA is forced to change the testing rules which will benefit every sports personals that are tested. If you look throughout his fighting career, he is not a muscular person, he is called Bones for a reason . ~ These two probably think that the UFC has scammed them, they have done a lot to surely get to the ranking that they deserve and that was with hard work but Jon Jones with just 1 fight now become the P4P number one even though Ciryl Gane isn't near the top, and eventually, Jon Jones beating Gane suddenly taken the pound-4-pound throne, I think many were pretty much confused about how UFC is ranking this even though they are a fan of Jon Jones or not it really shocking after the Islam Makhachev VS Alexander Volkonovski fight Makhachev also thought that he was in the number 1 spot but all of a sudden a 3 years absent inside the Octagon Jon Jones got a title fight and become the number 1 I think the UFC needs to explained this it is pretty much confusing actually To clear your confusion, pound for pound list is not made by the UFC. There is a voting panel which includes media personals and they create the fighter rankings and pound for pound list and the list is created through voting by couple of dozen MMA media outlets and UFC is not unanimously involved in that and to refresh your memory Jon Jones was the pound for pound king for years until he vacated the belt, 15 title fights and undefeated for a decade as he is in the UFC from 2008, now with the win in Heavyweight he is considered the best ever to do MMA and you think including him in the pound for pound rankings is not fair to other fighters . ~ No doubt that Jones cement his place in UFC history, but hard to say he is currently best fighter in UFC. Not every fighters, that is in UFC hall of fame was on p4p first place. For example Ronda Rousey, that probably introduced the world women MMA or at least was the first chick that brought women mma to a next level, is a member of UFC hall of fame, but never was in women p4p. There were even no p4p rating for women during her prime Who in the UFC will defeat Jon Jones in any weight class right now in your opinion, he vacated the Light Heavweight belt he was holding from 2011 and how many champions emerged in that division in a short period of time after he vacated the belt, before he became champion the belt used to change hands often and i am following MMA from PRIDE days and that was his dominance inside the cage. If Jon Jones did not mess outside the cage, Daniel Cormier would not be a double champion nor would we see any other champions unless he vacates and his name is Jon Jones .

I do not think Jon Jones is the best fighter in the ufc any more but he was considered the best but he is not as good as he was before. I know he beat Gane without getting punched but I think it was the easiest way for him to win because Gane does not know how to wrestle. If he was against some one else I think he would have been tested more. I want to see Jon Jones against a wrestler to judge his boxing skills.

Yeah, he has the potential to be a clean sweep, get the finish early on. However, I honestly think people put too much emphasis on the name, and just expect them to steam roll. Said, isn't Khabib, and definitely has shown several weaknesses. Now, I don't know if Jonathan Martinez is the man to put him to the sword, but he's got a decent record, and it should be at least a challenge. Also, I find Said a lot more risky than some of the others with an association of Khabib. Ariane Lipski has the chance, but if I was to bet on her, I'd have to with the decision, hoping that she puts out enough volume. I don't she'll be finishing the fight, but there's a lot more value in the decision.

That's just how it is when you are hated by the owner Dana White but you win the championship and as soon as someone who looks like doing something unbelievable, you are quickly replaced without even putting to second thought your hard work and sacrifices. That's why many already left their MMA league and pursue their pro career in other MMA competitions where they get enough acknowledgment and merits. It's not just about the money from now on, but the disrespect is so awful that they didn't even consider giving a few months for Islam to wear that title and he strips him just like that. Well if it's just through voting then there are many that surely voted for Jon Jones after his win against Ciryl Gane so there is no point for Alexander Volkanovski and Islam Makhachev getting upset or frustrated about it, because if it's just the case the UFC hands are really tied behind them, or they don't have full control about it, But still, this is kind of disrespectful to both fighters for Jon Jones to come along without any given hardship in making it to the top and being champion in the highest division of the UFC, is what people are asking, and right now I think that Jon Jones has ultimately changed that division in incorporating his style because for me the Heavyweight Division is very one dimensional, with full of fighters that are brawlers that could finish the match in 1 punch or strike but incorporating Ciryl Gane 1st have incorporated a style that is pretty much different and more technical that has an advantage with fighters that are aggressive, but Jon Jones have landed to the division and the ground game is more likely introduced, I think the lack of ground game knowledge for this division surely a lot of fighters will likely to have problems with it just like we seen in Ciryl Gane's case, ~

There is a voting panel which includes media personals and they create the fighter rankings and pound for pound list and the list is created through voting by couple of dozen MMA media outlets and UFC is not unanimously involved in that and to refresh your memory Jon Jones was the pound for pound king for years until he vacated the belt, 15 title fights and undefeated for a decade as he is in the UFC from 2008, now with the win in Heavyweight he is considered the best ever to do MMA and you think including him in the pound for pound rankings is not fair to other fighters . Much Appreciated, I am aware of the rankings for fighters in any division but for the Pound 4 pound ranking is truly new to me, I really don't put much attention to the pound 4 pounds and I really thought that the UFC was really in control of things because it was their site after all, and with the Jon Jones being on the top back when he is still champion, I think I was still starting to just figure out MMA in my own, or I was just starting with engaging with the topic about it so Jon Jones was really not relevant to me until he vacated that belt on the Light Heavyweight so Jan Błachowicz was the only Light Heavyweight I really have known, that is why I am not a Jon Jones fan until I have seen his highlights, but still not a huge fan, but much appreciated in what you are telling me right now, so thanks about it,

Jon Jones is not the best fighter but he destroyed the best heavyweight in the fight, many were doubting how Jon Jones would return after 3 years and fight a bigger stronger Gane and now everyone is complaining that he is not a good fighter when Jon made it look easy to remind everyone that there are levels. Why a wrestler to judge his boxing skills, this is MMA and he will find a way to win the fight.
Next event i am confused with Petr Yan who i thought would win a decision but Merab Dvalishvili is hyping up the fight and looks like he is confident to win the bout and since he is from the Aljamain Sterling camp, now i am having my doubts. Have to go through all the cards to make my picks.

UFC definitely encouraged the drama outside of the ring to sell tickets, and then publicly criticized everyone who jumped in the ring, and out of the ring at the end of the fight. I'm not sure boxing could get away with something like that, UFC still has that sort of attitude which actually prevents a lot of people from watching it. Personally, I avoided the UFC for a while due to me thinking it was too violent, and all it was about was hurting people. Obviously, I know better than that now, but I feel Dana's attitude to a lot of things doesn't exactly help its reputation. Dana White is most probably not the best person to handle UFC in my opinion. I am not saying there are better people for that job. I am just saying that if he was a little less selfish, probably the UFC would have been a better reputable place for the fighters. A lot of fighters have been saying that they are not getting paid well enough. You don't see these types of claims in boxing. In boxing either you are good enough for getting a lot of money or you are not. Someone like Francis Ngannou who was the heavyweight champion of that time when made the claim of not getting paid enough. It's never going to happen in boxing. I certainly don't think that it is the UFC not being able to pay the fighters more. I think it's just Dana White being Dana White.

Karl Williams - Lukasz BrzeskiKarl Williams, he is 33 years old and has had few fights, something like only 8 fights, I would say that he is still a rookie if we compare it with the number of fights that others have at 33 years old, but his career started in 2021, that it means that his career started recently and Karl Williams has a good performance, of the 8 fights he had, he managed to get 7 wins and lost in just one fight, with three wins by knockout and 4 by decision of the judge, his biggest weakness is on the ground, on the other side we have Lukasz Brzeski who is a fighter with many years of experience despite being 30 years old, that's because Lukasz Brzeski became a professional athlete in 2013, he has 5 wins by knockout and 2 wins for completion. looking at these two fighters I consider Lukasz Brzeski as the guy with the best chances of winning this fight. but the bookmakers are giving an advantage to Karl Williams with an odd of @1.44 Raphael Assunção - Davey GrantRaphael Assunção is 40 years old, with a lot of experience, because he has 19 of his career, in these 19 years of his career he has had 37 fights, with 28 wins and 9 losses. Of his 28 wins, he won 10 by submission, 14 by decision and only 4 by knockout. On the other hand, his opponent, Davey Grant, has stats very similar to Raphael Assunção's. well, the 37 year old Davey Grant has been a professional athlete since 2008, but he has had few fights, with only 20 fights. out of 20 fights he managed to win 14 fights and lost in 6 fights. in his last fight he won by knockout, this is a very unpredictable fight Sedriques Dumas - Josh FremdSedriques Dumas is 27 years old and a fighter who started in 2020, he had 7 fights in which he won in all 7 fights, with 4 victories by knockout and 2 by submission and only one victory was by decision. on the other side we have Josh Fremd who is 29 years old and started in 2017, he had 13 fights, winning 9 fights and losing 4 fights. he has 4 wins by knockout, 3 wins by submission and 2 wins by decision. well, Josh Fremd in his last fight he lost, while Sedriques Dumas in his last fight he won, I think Sedriques Dumas will win in this fight Mario Bautista - Guido Cannetti Mario Bautista is 29 years old and has been a professional athlete for 6 years, he managed to have 13 fights with an impressive 11 wins and only 2 losses, with 5 wins by submission, 3 by knockout and 3 by decision, and has a streak of 3 wins. on the other hand, his opponent is very old, Guido Cannett is 47 years old, and he became a professional athlete in 2007 and in that period he had 16 fights, with 10 wins and 6 losses. he has 4 wins by submission, 4 by knockout and 2 by decision, coming from 1 win. my guess is that Mario Bautista won this fight. he is young and has better performance compared to Mario Bautista Tyson Nam - Bruno SilvaTyson Nam is 39 years old and started his career in 2006, managed to make 34 fights, with 21 wins and 12 losses and 1 draw, and in his last fight he won by knockout. meanwhile, his opponent Bruno Silva is 33 years old and has a long career that started in 2010, which resulted in 30 fights in which he won 22 fights, of the 22 fights silva had 19 wins by knockout and 3 by decision. in my opinion silva will win this fight Victor Henry - Tony Gravely Victor Henry is 35 years old and started his career in 2010, he had 28 fights in which he managed to get 22 wins and 6 losses. he got 6 wins by knockout, 8 wins by decision and 8 wins by submission, he's a very gifted guy in grappling, on the ground he's very dangerous. on the other side we have Tony Gravely who is 31 years old and started his career in 2015, managed to get 23 wins and 8 losses. he has 10 wins by knockout, 3 by submission and 10 by decision. this will be a very unpredictable fight, the bookmakers are favoring Victor Henry at odds of @1.69 Carlston Harris - Jared GoodenCarlston Harris is 35 years old and started in 2011, and managed to have 22 fights, of the 22 fights he had, he won 17 fights and lost 5 fights. 7 wins were by decision, 5 by submission and by knockout. while his opponent Jared Gooden is 29 years old and started his career in 2015 and has 30 fights in which he won 22 fights and lost in 8 fights. Gooden is very skilled, he won 11 times by knockout, 6 by submission and 5 by decision. I think Gooden could win this game Ariane Lipski - J. J. AldrichAriane Lipski is 29 years old and started her professional career in 2013 and already has 22 fights. she has 6 wins by knockout, 5 by decision and 3 by submission. an interesting fact is that Ariane Lipski is coming off a loss in which she was knocked out in less than 2 minutes. she will fight J. J. Aldrich who is 30 years old and has 8 years as a professional fighter, but has had 16 fights in which she managed to win 11 fights and 5 defeats, 9 wins by decision and 2 by knockout. my opinion is that this will be a very difficult fight to predict the result.
Dana White is most probably not the best person to handle UFC in my opinion. the guy thinks about himself and the money, and it's very difficult to see complaints in other fight sports, so you could see that the problem is in the UFC. one day I saw an interview of a fighter complaining that they didn't have health insurance and many other things he complained about, I don't know if that's true or not, but if it's true, I wondered why the UFC doesn't pay health insurance to its fighters. your athletes? he no doubt is making a lot of money thanks to these fighters. maybe as a newbie I'm wrong
