🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[tusandii]

-snip-

It was all luck man I really do observe the fight but it was all luck that let me win it because after I drop my bet it is all up to luck to do its thing, well maybe you can now make your bet in the next event for sure I will put my bet and prediction early on so you can have an idea on what I thought about the fight you can also follow my bet if you want but just always remember to just keep it with a grain of salt it is always you who will make your own decision,

Just make my picks a guide for you to have better chances of winning,

Well, it all depends on luck if you want to win the bet, but for some types of fighting sports, I quite appreciate your experience and knowledge.
I used to bet on UFC or Boxing a while ago but for UFC have stopped betting in the past few weeks.
For the next fight, I'm actually interested in UFCVegas78 which found two fighters from Brazil, namely Luque vs Anjos.
They are two very amazing fighters in each of these fights.
On this card, I'm still confused about choosing who deserves to win the fight, considering that both of them are really great fighters.

^  Yup I'm with you on Luque after giving it a quick look at Tapology.  But it could change when taking a closer look at the stats and after watching some of their past matches.  But we'll see...  I feel like RDA could spam TD's here and go to the ground to avoid Luque's powerrr which could KO any guy in the cage.

But yeah...  I like Luque.  He fights for your money.

UFC Free Fight:  Luque vs Perry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtskNFaFS2I

I dont think that Luque gonna KO RDA, all in all RDA experience will help him to escape lots of damage and tie Luque, but he will be beaten badly for sure. Last time RDA was knocked out was 2016 by Alvarez and in 2022 by Fiziev in fifth round. But that was due to being tired and Fiziev dominated all 4 rounds. But that KO by Alvarez was in first round. On paper, Luque hasnt knocked out top guys for a long time, and this time he wont be able to do it also. He is on a series of two losses, and RDA has zebra records and looses by decision. Imho it will be a decision victory by Luque.

^  We'll see how it goes...  But the way I look at it is Luque has 5 rounds to find thar chin like how Fiziev did it, unless he gasses out or something.  To stay away from Luque's powerrr, RDA could go for a wrestling heavy game plan but to the detriment of his cardio.  He's getting up there in age near his 40's.  :/  Same with the co main event with Cub Swanson.  It's hard to bet on the guy even at tempting odds.

UFC Free Fight:  Dos Anjos vs Barbarena
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O4l7WmVve4

^  Don't be sucked in into thinking that RDA could sub Luque like he did Barbarena.  Luque has opportunistic grappling too.

Nice to see Conor McGregor posting training videos again. It seemed like he was a little quiet there for a minute. He seems to be back in the lab and preparing for his next fight now. I personally can’t wait to see him fight again as he was always the most entertaining MMA fighter. Hopefully he can get himself a win. It’s a long time coming now.

Did he post any vids in which he throws any fast and complex combinations (other than classic one-twos)? That'd be a good showcase of his real form.
I have to admit, I kind of wrote him off in my mind after seeing videos like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_HoqOuLR30 and after pretty much every commentator in the industry agreeing that he was likely on steroids.
And to be fair, it made sense for him to try his luck with HGH (human growth hormone) to speed up the broken leg recovery, but that could have backfired with an unintentional side-effects.

This is one of the interesting fights for sure both are very prominent with their submissions and well-versed at grappling but let's see which of the two has the most effective and has the high caliber wrestling, grappling, and submission game of the two, that is why this is really an interesting fight,

After watching your video I was also convinced that this is not the same Conor McGregor, well after announcing that he will return I notice that he is getting fat, but I surely ignored it, well 1st I really don't like the guy, but I like his style in fighting, but after seeing your video it really makes sense that this is not the same Conor McGregor that many fans know and love, surely drugs and some illegal medicine is bad for everybody and surely before taking that fight with Chandler he should take a rehab 1st and come clean,

Well, Thanks but for sure I am doing my research whenever I am making my predictions and bets, I think all of us will likely do our research on the fighters and surely get their styles, techniques, and recent fights so we can analyze who's going to win, and surely after making a bet it is all up to that bet if it's going to win or not,

Now the following fight of Vicente Luque VS Rafael dos Anjos is an interesting fight because both fighters is well-versed with wrestling, grappling, and submission for sure,

Whoa! That is why he looks different I surely notice it but thought it was normal I never thought that it was just a span of 2 years for his transformation for a show-off, and actually drugs can surely mess up with your brain so much that you will not think in doing things anymore, well the mind of McGregor is all scrambled right now that is why he is now not thinking really straight so for sure not just his appearance was visually been seen changing but also his own antics was all gone,

This is sure very alarming and I think Conor McGregor need help, and that help was for himself, he is destroying himself by still consuming addictive drugs, inside his body,

[notblox1]

No huge names for UFC Fight Night Luque vs Dos Anjos, but I think we are going to see a lot of interesting fights.
There is a huge weight difference between Khalil Rountree and Chris Daukaus, so Daukaus had to cut a lot of weight to get in light heavyweight division.
He has a small reach advantage but I am not sure how he is going to perform after weight cut, and I will wait to see weight-ins.

He might post million videos of him training, but until he signs agreement to pass USADA tests, I wont consider him to be preparing seriously for something. He might post whatever he wants (Gaethje recently posted that is ready to fight Conor and all Conor should is to sign a contract, to which Conor replied in his tweet "signed"), say what ever he wants. But until he is not passing tests, he is out of fighting business. I even think he is no longer interested in fighting, but only keep his body sporty and image of a fighter, but is more interested in business.

Dunno..  I mean yeah it could be a banger of a main event but both of them have prolly reached their highest potential ceiling in the UFC.  I'd be really surprised if one of them gets a title shot from here on out.  I think RDA could retire in a couple of years, Luque not long after that if the head injury he got in the match up with Neal becomes a recurring thing.

Come to think of it, most of the match ups look like the losers are getting the sack.

If every main card battle I usually make predictions and analyze when the fight has started at least half or finished the first round because on the main card there are always two great fighters that are hard to predict who will finish the fight with victory.
For Vicente Luque VS Rafael dos Anjos, to be honest, I was really confused and doubtful because both of them were quite great, but in my analysis, I found that their fight would last until the final round and the win depends on the points decisions that can be obtained from one of the fighters.
But it looks like Anjos can have the upper hand because he has strong enough bones to survive the opponent's punches and he has a hard punch but still a little doubtful about this analysis.

I think with all that are happening around to Connor McGregor, thinking about retiring as a fighter. And because, as long as he is going to stay in the fighting business, he is only going to hurt his legacy more. So he should be thinking about business from now on instead of fighting. Now, of course, I understand that and he is someone who has the kind eye of the UFC. And I think probably Dana White is also not going to let him retire. And obviously the way he became big like a balloon, he will certainly have to pass the Usada test. Otherwise there is not going to be a fight in my opinion. He is surely injecting something in his body to get that big. You don’t get that big in that short amount of time even if you are genetically gifted.

We got a dried-up event this week, but next week will be very juicy again this August 19, as we approached UFC 292 Sterling VS O'Malley as Aljamain Sterling has recently had a fight with Henry Cejudo 2 months from now that was May 6, for sure a lot of names in this event are really tasty but surely it is just too early to talk about it so we just need to endure the UFC Fight Night: Luque vs. Dos Anjos,

He might post million videos of him training, but until he signs agreement to pass USADA tests, I wont consider him to be preparing seriously for something. He might post whatever he wants (Gaethje recently posted that is ready to fight Conor and all Conor should is to sign a contract, to which Conor replied in his tweet "signed"), say what ever he wants.

For sure Conor McGregor is just hyping his fans into his return to the Octagon and for him to be relevant again in the MMA community which for me is all just a delusion for Conor McGregor if he is using bad Substances sure he would not get that fight and for sure can not return back into fighting, without a negative result then there is no fight for Conor McGregor,

Dunno..  I mean yeah it could be a banger of a main event but both of them have prolly reached their highest potential ceiling in the UFC.  I'd be really surprised if one of them gets a title shot from here on out.  I think RDA could retire in a couple of years, Luque not long after that if the head injury he got in the match up with Neal becomes a recurring thing.

Come to think of it, most of the match ups look like the losers are getting the sack.

This is just what I think, but for sure they already have passed their potential, but still, maybe they have maintained their speed and agility maybe this could be a great fun fight to watch but if they have already reached their potential then time is up to essence and they need to do something to get that title shot that they want and need, for sure time is running out for them,

Conor is 35, all he do is party, travelling, family and doing business. He should have retired long time ago. I dont know what Conor plans to show in the octagon. Since his prime time, there is completely new generation of fighters in top of lightweight already. For the champ and everyone in top5 he isnt a thread. Who could he beat then? Old RDA? Average guys like Hooker? Seniors like Ferreira? Dont think Dana gonna organize him a return after injury fight against Ferreira so that Conor could have an easy win. Also Dana wont organize him a fight against top5 guys, as they gonna injure him again or knock out cold. What a fight it will be, return and already a retirement by heavy KO. Imho it is about time to kick him out of UFC roster, give him hall of fame jacket and sell ticket to that event.

After seeing  pawel7777 video about the change of Conor McGregor physique, as I am seeing his 1st appearance and because I don't really know the effect and causes if you are using Growth Hormones well there is also a story that Conor McGregor Losses his wisdom tooth that causes infection and for him to full off his wisdom tooth has leave him with a glass chin because it surely got effect on his body and have weaken his bones that led into injuries,

Nice analysis, this fight could surely go the distance and judging from the styles of both men it is surely going to be a submission or going the distance, for me both are surely well-versed when it come to wrestling and submission but but honestly even me are having a hard time in analysing who I think is going to him, I will watch both fighters recent fights and their fight that I think could point out that they had weakness with and surely will return here with a much early prediction for you guys,

He is turning into average lazy dad that drinks with his buddies all the time and visits gym 3 times a week to pump biceps and chest muscles Imho he is like that due to drinking a lot. All those extra calories mixed with pumping iron. There is a lot of water in him plus brain is damaged already by alco and strikes. If he is on steroids, why his skin is so clean than? Where are numerous pimples and ulcers then ? Or he has faced a really bad botox injections and bad surgeons that made his face so weird right now (like pre and post face surgeon Mickey Rourke )

[tokeweed]

^  LMAO Mickey Rourke!  My dad used to watch all those classic movies with him in it.  There was the one with another used to be famous actor called Matt Dillon which I liked.  But yeah the difference between young Rourke and botox Rourke is huuuge.  Botox Rourke looks like he had a couple of rounds fighting Mike Tyson.  Lol.

Anyway...  Looking at the lines for the coming event.  There are some line movements going towards the favorites that don't make sense making the underdogs look attractive bets.  Josh Parisian, Mike Breeden, JP Buys and Jaime Pickett...  Their opponents shouldn't be lined anything below 1.50 imho.

Conor McGregor is proposed to fight the right opponent in Michael Chandler as he is also on a loosing streak and the only win he has is against a wearing down Tony Ferguson and so is the reason he picked that fight against Chandler and then we might see the trilogy between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor and both of these fights will sell massively and then he will retire for good.

Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler's last fight history is even though Chandler's fight history is superior to 1 win in his last fighting career, but both of them have collected consecutive defeats and we have the reason why both of them are reportedly being set up for the first fight of Connor's return to the ring. I think they predicted the potential for a connor win to elevate his reputation in the next big fight.

Connor still has problems to finish the trilogy fight with Nate Diaz, the fight will probably be scheduled for the next fight, they have to determine the victory in the trilogy fight as the best fighter.

[kro55]

I think with all that are happening around to Connor McGregor, thinking about retiring as a fighter. And because, as long as he is going to stay in the fighting business, he is only going to hurt his legacy more. So he should be thinking about business from now on instead of fighting. Now, of course, I understand that and he is someone who has the kind eye of the UFC. And I think probably Dana White is also not going to let him retire. And obviously the way he became big like a balloon, he will certainly have to pass the Usada test. Otherwise there is not going to be a fight in my opinion.

Imho it is about time to kick him out of UFC roster, give him hall of fame jacket and sell ticket to that event.

But is that going to be the best idea for business for the UFC? After all corner mcgregor is the fighter who has had the loudest mouth ever. He has also brought in so much money for the UFC. So probably it is not the best idea for the UFC to tell people that corner mcgregor is not going to fight for the UFC anymore. At the same time it is really hard to see any good fight for him to be honest. Conor mcgregor is just alive on Twitter right now. Or should I call it "X"? 

Anyway he is just running his mouth as long as he can. Some people are also saying that he is doing decent as a coach. But I don't think that is going to last long because whenever his fighters do and up facing better fighters I don't think the coaching from Connor is going to be enough.
