[YuginKadoya]

Trashtalk is trashtalk and nobody can beat Conor McGregor in that field 
I really liked the music and entry for Pereira and I think he can only be better in his next fights, lets not forget that this was only his fifth MMA fight in carrier.
Before that he was doing only kickboxing for years, and I want to see him becoming better fighter.

Well yeah, Conor McGregor surely is the king of Trashtalks but in this deal of trash talking we all know the history between these two fighters so the trash talk has the kind of level of being personal, that is why but surely Israel Adesanya was not really shaken by this kind of trash talking,

Well the Entrance theme of Alex Pereira was like I was watching Black Panther when they are in ritual combat, that is the vibe about it, but surely Alex Pereira really deserves a chance of getting his rematch and Dana White would also like that because of the revenue, but for me, I think Dana White will not risk it and not giving Pereira the rematch he wants, but Alex Pereira will surely need a break,

I think Adesanya is mad and that's might his biggest reason to beat Pereira, Adesanya already prepare to taunt Pereira if he win this fight
Adesanya need to accept to get hate comments after he won, every people will remember if Adesanya is childish person.
But congratulations for him to able to beat Pereira in his rematch, sooner or later there's should be a trilogy. If Adesanya still win in the next fight, it's better for him to move to the next rank since there's no strong contender anymore in middleweight.

It should be right to celebrate in whatever shape or form he wants after this win because obviously he was so pressured that he prepared a lot just to win this fight and he finally did without a doubt by knocking out Alex. I wonder if they will gonna meet up inside the cage next time when they move on with this event and win their next few fights in the future. They should always make a trilogy whenever there is a chance because there are not lots of fighters in the UFC by the way and the fans always love to watch this kind of fight whenever they are still at their very best times.

Of course, Israel Adesanya should be able to celebrate his win. In my opinion, he is a difficult man for the media to get to and even he seemed to be under so much pressure to get the victory in this fight. I don't think anyone in the world should have any objections to how he is going to celebrate or enjoy his victory in any way. Israel Adesanya certainly had a great fight and the outcome was even better for him in the end. I bet he got his redemption.

Years ago, when Alex Pereira knocked out Izzy in their kickboxing match, his son taunted Izzy by falling down on the ring, showing making a parody of a knockout. Yesterday Izzy payed him back, by doing the same taunt.

Here is the article that about that case https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21990164/israel-adesanya-alex-pereira-son-ko-ufc-287-celebration/ + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6kjrSHSBTA. There is a video also, where Pereira kids were crying after KO and that performance.

People have divided into two categories. First - they said that they are kids and it is unfair taunt them like that. Second - kids must learn their lesson. They taunted Izzy first, and now got paid back.

I support second category. Behave properly and you dont have to regret something in the future. There are lots of things how to celebrate a victory. Laughing over knocked out guy isnt good.

Yeah, that was a very bad behavior from that kick and I hope that kid received a lesson from his parents to not act like that but I don't think that would actually happen.
By the way, that gesture from Adesanya was a very childish, not something a serious man does. Revenge against kid? Cmon, you are a full grown adult, your revenge is to kick his father's ass, that's where you finish your job. He took a kid's gesture seriously and said that he wanted to kick his ass, cmon, even Conor Mcgregor or Dana White wouldn't do that for money

Childish, but Adesanya is a little bit childish All that anime, video games, break dancing and other stuff. I would not call it a revenge, he has only repaid that kid with his own coin. The kid learned his bitter lesson I would say. Call it karma or boomerang. The kid made fun on him, and now he has made fun of that kid. It would be wrong if he would start bullying, threatening and etc. But Adesanya answered that kid on his (kid) language. That is what a full grown adult should do - get on the same level with that kid and prove that he was wrong.

Join up guys, it's fun and it's free.  Not a bad idea to get your picks in and have a chance to win some free money.  As a parlay degen like myself, it's good practice on the side.

People should just let it slide...  It's somewhat of a spur of the moment thing when a guy who just won the most important fight of his life just acts all excited.  And pretty sure he still had adrenaline pumping.  Lol.

Anyway, dropping a couple of vids to watch before the event.  Enjoy...

Israel Adesanya certainly had a great fight and the outcome was even better for him in the end. I bet he got his redemption.

He surely got what he wants the revenge that he liked and how he could win against Pereira I think it went down according to his plan, but just like I have said there is still wrestling in his game that he didn't show because the 1st plan works, I think Israel Adesanya still got ways for him to beat Alex Pereira, for sure he have shown this in their 1st fight where he dominates the ground and in the 2nd fight Pereira doesn't want to make the same mistake in sending Adesanya to the ground because he is surely more vulnerable there,

Childish, but Adesanya is a little bit childish All that anime, video games, break dancing and other stuff. I would not call it a revenge, he has only repaid that kid with his own coin.

I agree good explanation Israel Adesnaya doesn't have any bad blood on whoever the kid was, or even a grudge against Alex Pereira he just wants his belt back that is all, and I don't want to say that kid really deserves it, but he surely got his own medicine and Adesanya is replaying in a same way gesture, a kid at heart, but surely that kids know what is coming for him for sure, he already knows it is really painful to make fun of others while they are grieving, saddened, or succumb to the low they feel now and he will see someone mock him in times like that, I think that kid deserves it,

Raul Rosas Jr. (1.43) VS Christian Rodriguez (3.10) - Betting for Rosas - BET LOST

That Raul Rosas fight was so frustrating, the fact that he won the first round but sucked hard in the second and 3rd rounds was brutal. And I don't know what happened, not sure if he got tired or if he gives up when he realized that he wasn't able to choke his opponent in the first round.

The guy was having a lot of potential and is really sad that he lost his 2 official bets. We know he is young, and for sure will be a lesson for him.

[Apocollapse]

For some reason I feel like Arnold finishes Holloway.  But been sucking lately so Holloway will prolly won.

Both of them have a similar fighting style and decent ground fight, Arnold just lack of fighting with a top tier fighter, this fight is to prove if he's deserve to be at 4th position in featherweight. It's quite convincing how Arnold won via TKO in his previous 2 matches and he's underdog in this fight, so it's more worthy to bet him.

Holloway can't being always become the second strongest in featherweight division.

I think we just giving him too much credit and yes we all know that Raul Rosas Jr. is just a kid 18 years old to be exact he indeed has the potential but as Dana White has said the strength of an 18 years old to a 25 years old was indeed been shown in this fight and you can quite see the difference, but this is a good experience for Raul Rosas Jr. and Chris Curtis have said that Rosas Jr. should be humble at times and this loss should become a lesson for him and will be a stepping stone to grow even more, yes it surely broke my bet but I really don't blame the kid that much and I really hope his hype train will not be derailed,

This is a good opportunity for Arnold Allen if he can win against Max Holloway in a good fashion way, he will surely transient to a higher rank for sure, but if he would underestimated Max Holloway because of his losses on Volkanovski this will be crucial for Allen because Volkanovski is surely a technical fighter but Allen Wrestling will be his game here but Holloway is really good with takedown defense so he can not be sure about that, and yeah I am not convinced aswell, but Holloway can not underestimate this Allen aswell, so this is a great match for me I will look at Holloway having decent striking and more technical than Arnold Allen,

I think it is better to make predictions early, that is when I had most success.
Whenever I tried to wait for the last moment to see if there are any injuries and news I didn't win anything.
More research doesnt have to mean better results 

Does anyone have any news about Francis Ngannou and his new signing deals?
I know BKFC refused his offer because he asked a lot of money, but in his place I wouldnt even go to bare knuckle.

One of the best moment from all of Conor's Trashtalk is when Conor McGregor tells Nate diaz: Shut your f*ing mouth and then Nate goes out and he tells get the f out of there, it was really very funny: https://youtu.be/WK6Jqdm7DVQ
And the Trashtalk of Conor towards Aldo was something that will never happen in history. He farted in front of Aldo's face.
And his words when he won his second belt, this video will remain to history, watch from 2:35 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPiw27AQYh0

Conor: - I would love to take this chance to apologize

Decent card for a Fight Night with somewhat familiar faces.  These match ups are kinda close tho even if the lines don't show it. 

And at first glance I see a couple of underdogs that could make the fight closer than anticipated.  They are TJ Brown and Murzakanov.  Both have the wrestling to make match grindy and prolly be a bit boring for some.  Lol.  I don't mind it as long as my side is winning.  Boring fights give me time to chat a little and get more beer.

Well, it is OK to just pick at random, sometimes but it surely depends on the UFC for me it always works out with a prediction and research, but there are some unpredictable moments but it is just a coincidence if some and for you, it is more effective to bet on making early picks, for me it will surely depend on what kind of games and sports,

There is one article that says he is going to ONE Championship just like Mighty Mouse Demetrious Johnson did, surely Francis Ngannou needs to sign in an MMA organization and have a fight right now because his face value is already depleting and people are already forgetting about him if this continues his value will surely deplete to zero this is really the worst possible outcome that could happen to him, an MMA organization that wants to sign him and he demanded more, for sure I think Ngannou needed a good manager that could handle his career decision, he is playing it all by himself which is not a good idea, and he surely thinks that he still got those hype and value just like when he is in the UFC but well value went down the moment he stepped down the UFC,

One of the best moment from all of Conor's Trashtalk is when Conor McGregor tells Nate diaz: Shut your f*ing mouth and then Nate goes out and he tells get the f out of there, it was really very funny: https://youtu.be/WK6Jqdm7DVQ

Cmon, never ever compare Conor to anyone in trashtalk

Well, I am not comparing the level of trash talk of Conor McGregor to Alex Pereira because Pereira isn't really talking English, he just has some antics for Izzy that are surely for pissing Israel Adesanya off, like in his training with the ball and posting it on social media it is that kind of pissing off the moment but not really trash talking, but surely like I have said Conor McGregor is the real kind of trash talking no one can beat him on that for sure this will surely go in history and many already missed that Irish guy,

[TopTort777]

Actually there is a guy who can (actually could, based on his shape now) shut that Irish leprechaun mouth I am talking about Quentin Rampage Jackson. I like that way he trash talks. Not like Conor, whos main argument of humiliation is comparing everyone with his wealth, but Rampage trash talks in special humorous way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj_Bjmp9edQ or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi_jVuYjlI4. Also, perhaps Chael Sonnes is good at track talking. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HmZn4tnjTas that a KO

I still remember these clips back when I first watch UFC fights and it was really fun to watch him because these guys are both at the peak of their careers back then and they are both contenders. They also talk lots of trash talks in this show and if you ponder upon it, it seems like Rampage Jackson has the upper hand when it comes to the things like this when they fought, Rashad Evans beat him in a unanimous decision because he got owned by him in every round.  

[notblox1]

Big news posted by Alex Poatan Pereira on his official youtube channel, he is confirming that his next fight will be in 205 that is light heavyweight division!
He doesn't know his next opponent exactly, but it must be some of the top fighters, and he can use injuries from other fighters.
I think it should be very interesting to see him with possible opponents like Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka, Magomed Ankalaev, Jan Błachowicz, Aleksandar Rakic and others.
After losing from Adesanya this is perfect chance for him to come back in a big syle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em5g1feNxF0

[TopTort777]

It was expected that Pereira would move to other division. He looked to big for a middleweight. Put him against, I dont know, Whittaker or Vettori and they would look like David and Goliath. I think he has good chances to been Hill, as it will be a striker vs striker fight, and Pereiras skills looks to be superior. But I desire to see his fight against a pure wrestler or BJJ. So far he has got mostly strikers and I wish to see his skills on new territory.

[tokeweed]

^  I doubt Pereira would be straight up brought to go for the strap at 205.  He'll prolly be matched up vs a couple of guys first to see how he performs.  I think a somewhat good litmus test for him is Jan Blachowicz.  Blachowicz is a known guy with a good following among hardcore UFC fans and he's a pretty decent fighter in the division.

Anyway, ceremonial weigh ins in 5 hours guys.  If Tanner Boser looks good on the scale, I think he'll be a good underdog bet.  He moved down from HW.

For the middle class, Pereira is too big and it seems that he has to move or go up to light heavyweight so that his big stature doesn't become a topic of conversation when he is in the middle class.
Previously, Pereira was the ruler of the middle class, where he had become the champion and holder of the defending belt in the middle class before being defeated by his adesa.
Recently I also heard that Pereira also decided to move up a class but he did not mention who his opponent would be when he first entered the light heavyweight class.
The light heavyweight class is currently held by Jamahal Hill who managed to take over the title after defeating Glover Teixeira and Pereira will have to go through more matches at light heavyweight if he wants to take the title in that class.
