🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

[electronicash]

strawweight is not her natural weight class if you compare her to her previous opponents, namajunas is too big for that division. she is right where she is right now. she just caught the bad luck this time. any excruciating pain will affect the condition of a fighter such as this pinky. but fiorot is doing the same strategy, she is too big for this fly, this is just to boost her streak and once she clears the fly division and no one challenges her, she will also move up.

The current Connor McGregor is very different from a few years ago when he was still fighting for the UFC, now he came back with a much better body transformation and with bigger muscles so that when fighting Connor McGregor will have stronger punches and his endurance can increase.

Many people think Connor McGregor has sunk and will not appear again in the UFC arena to fight but whether it is true or not if he will return to fight in the UFC at the end of this year because there are rumors that Connor McGregor has a scheduled fight against Chandler.
If this fight is successfully held more Connor McGregor fans will come to the UFC arena because they miss Connor McGregor fight.

No, in fact I still believe that Connor McGregor can emerge as a UFC fighter and return to making as much money from each fight as he did several years ago.

I highly doubt that Connor McGregor is actually going to come back being as good as he was before. I think he put on a lot of weight because it is definitely easier to fight in a heavier-weight category. Maybe I shouldn't say easier, but it is definitely easier for him because most of the time these fights do not go the distance. So that obviously gives McGregor a better chance to win in those fights. That is why I think he put on so much weight. But even after that, I don't believe you will actually be as good as he was. His prime days are definitely in the past. He is definitely not going to win against good fighters anymore.  Well actually that is wrong, he might win against good fighters but he is not going to win against the absolute top-level guys.  I don't have much expectations from him on his comeback if he does come back.

Since his last defeat and injury Connor McGregor decided to stop fighting and retire early from the UFC but after healing until he was completely healed he is still training very hard from physical training to have a bigger and stronger body He is also still training his fighting skills which he did to one day return as a fighter and now the time has come for him to have a great opportunity to show his strength again in the UFC arena.
Even though it will not be easy for Connor McGregor to win later because he hasn't fought for a long time and has gone up to a higher class but we don't know what kind of fight he will be in and there is hope for Connor McGregor to win thanks to his persistence and hard training this is done.

It is a great admiration for Connor McGregor who has the effort or intention to return to fight again even though he has to start all over again with a class that is higher than when he was active as a UFC fighter.

For sure Rose Namajuna's only weight class was the Strawweight division Even though she was bigger than some of her opponents back then women's Strawweight was always Rose Namajuna's Divison, sure injury needs to be treated immediately but I think it is not that Critical after her lost to Manon Fiorot I likely don't know what is next for Rose Namajunas if she's going to get back at the Strawweight, or still fight on the Flyweight division,

Now that I think it is the start of a new Week here are the next Event for the UFC,

I think a lot of fighters and people in general are going to agree that when a fighter stays away from fighting for a long time, it actually hurts a little more when he comes back. Because the body is not accustomed to receiving pain for quite a long time. So after he comes back, it is going to hurt a little more. And we all know that he is going up the weight class. So he is going to get punched by bigger fighters. So it is probably going to knock him out more easily.

And let’s be honest, Conor McGregor was never the same man after he got smashed by Khabib Nurmagomedov. We have seen Conor McGregor winning a fight against cowboy. But cowboy is not the top level of fighter anymore.

This is what happened with Rose Namajunas finger in first rounds, and after that it was hard to expect better performance from her.
Stuff like this is happening all the time even during training but it is much harder when it happens during important fight and you have to pretend that everything is ok.

I think I have mentioned a minimum of 5 times here that UFC gloves suck. This is all due to gloves. Change the gloves for more closed and there wont be broken or dislocated fingers, or eye pokes. Frankly, this injury does not look like it might affect the fight. If this is just dislocated, corner guys could fix that, if the joints are destroyed, then just squeeze fist more hard. People fight with broken ribs, bones or face bones, have huge cuts. I dont give discount for her being a female. She knew what kind of sport she is in.

I dont think that any other MMA gloves would help here, but I agree that UFC gloves are not ideal.
Many people suggested they need design changes but they keep ignoring it, mainly they are causing a lot more eye poking injuries.

I watched this fight live and you can clearly see this affected the fight a lot.
Commentators noticed this, I noticed this, and Rose could not make normal fist and strike with that hand anymore after injury happened.
She even complained to her bench about this injury, and they told her you dont need that finger anymore

I was on a holiday and missed that event. Usually, I would have watched this fight on repeat, but since there are two kittens fighting I would skip (but YuginKadoya definitely gonna watch it again. Hey bro, sorry for trolling ). I agree that she did not need that finger much, as this wasnt a finger poking challenge (first I wrote fingering, but later decided to google it and after quickly closed search tab lol). She still had two elbows, both legs and one fist. You dont need a fist to defence

That looks nasty.  And from what I know she plays the piano too.  If the doc does a less than a decent job fixing that finger, it wouldn't be the same after surgery.

Not anymore  Btw, even if she would had such a little finger, it would only help hey to press piano keys.

Do you guys think Strickland gonna surprise us this weekend? Is he able to do that? Will we see new Izzy, or just another win by decision? Personally, I would love to see Strickland as a champ. Just for laugh That will be hell of a trolling to every other guy in their division.

weird. actually, UFC gloves need to be changed. normal gloves, or maybe I should compare it with boxing gloves, and while compared to the boxing gloves, the UFC gloves are different. Boxing gloves generally make your hand in a natural closed fist position.  But with UFC gloves it is actually hard to close your fist.  With the UFC gloves, it is easier to keep your fist open. Which definitely should not be the case. This causes fighters to get injured easily because this is causing fighters to get poked in the eye easily and this also causes fighters to break their fingers easily. It is high time that there should change in the design.

Although this fight is favored for Izzy to win easily, we cannot assume that the other guy will just give the fight easily for him because this is something we have seen before, we have seen so many devastating turns of events when the other favored guy underestimated his opponent and got surprised on how he performed inside the cage and also surprisingly win the fight. Strickland should have some idea on how to counter Izzy because that's when he is vulnerable like any other champion.

Idk. Can't expect Strickland can actually perform against Adesanya. He is gonna be KOed.
The prev conference wasn't so much fun, It would have been funnier if he told it to the press when Izzy was the Chinese champ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMdWyPGTDVk
He may beat Izzy up in trash talk but in the octagon, it's gonna be the other way around.

But come the day and Izzy will be showboating, it will be his defeat. And Sean adding salt as the thrash talk will be a lot worse after that.

At least Izzy did not fight Strickland before At least something new in middleweight. Strickland can easily gain some weight and become a heavy hitter. Some random punch and Izzy's chin isnt made of stone (Pereira tested that). On the paper, Izzy is better than Strickland, but paper does not fight in octagon. People do. Who knows what could happen during the fight. Lucky cut, illegal hit. We have seen this year how champions fall from complete underdogs.

It is a great admiration for Connor McGregor who has the effort or intention to return to fight again even though he has to start all over again with a class that is higher than when he was active as a UFC fighter.

Conor McGregor might be wanting a huge sum of money again, or he is not relevant anymore so he needed some Clout to his career again so he can pursue some of the things that he might want, well for sure many fans would love this as many are inpersonating him in the MMA industry which is kind of weird sometimes like this Ian Machado Garry guy because not only the way he talks but even McGregor's style and movement which is for me is irritating but this is for the Conor McGregor fans here is the video's of Conor McGregor sparring with Ian Machado Garry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5YuncZNTzc

I agree, Conor McGregor is not the same anymore during that long breaktime for sure the Steroids are affecting him somehow, that is going to surely break his career for sure, Slowly destroying his career, and yes Conor McGregor is not the same anymore his beard were gone his face become Stuffy and his body surely become wide because of the things he is taking I am surely concern about it even though I am not a Conor McGregor fan I surely don't want a fighter to be hurt that bad and not be able to get back in his feat,

I was on a holiday and missed that event. Usually, I would have watched this fight on repeat, but since there are two kittens fighting I would skip (but YuginKadoya definitely gonna watch it again.

  Deffinitely Watching it again bro, you know me very well if there are fighting kittens are the best, Well you should left it as fingering I think there is no problem to that it could be used in a phrase Fingering the TV, Radio, (all that has buttons) surely it required Fingering ability that is, well for sure that fingers going to be fixed and if there are a long term problem about it for sure Rose Namajunas will surely adjust, her fighting style for sure,

Dont know a single competitive martial art where finger strike is allowed I've only seen videos like Bruce Lee chops wooden log with index or middle fingers. Or people making a whole in can with fingers. But never seen little finger being very helpful there What is the use of little finger anyway? Despite using it for pinky promise? From Russian wikipedia "Since ancient times, the little finger has been considered a useless finger, as it does not take part in everyday activities and does not affect all the abilities of the human hand." So her corner was right - she doesnt need that finger

[Hanadawa]

What will happen inside the octagon is not Mathematics that can be measured. We see how Leon beats Kamaru Usman, or Gaetjhe takes down the Diamond. Statistics helps fighters to analyze the opponent but in the octagon, performance, preparedness, mentality and also luck. My favorite is Izzy and when it comes to striking, we all know that Izzy is a fighter who has a high IQ in striking. What Strickland can do is take the match to the ground or land a clean slate.

Because bringing the fight to a standing fight would be very risky for Sean. But I think Sean has an advantage in fighting experience. Are there any additional advantages that Sean has?

But from the hard training carried out by Conor McGregor he was able to withstand beatings and pain for a long time and even still has the stamina to fight in the arena so there is no doubt that Conor McGregor can fight again in a higher division.
Apart from that he had really prepared everything so it would be useless if he didn't continue with his fighting persistence.

Since his last defeat and injury Connor McGregor decided to stop fighting and retire early from the UFC but after healing until he was completely healed he is still training very hard from physical training to have a bigger and stronger body He is also still training his fighting skills which he did to one day return as a fighter and now the time has come for him to have a great opportunity to show his strength again in the UFC arena.

He already has a lot of money and wealth that is quite large if he just wants to continue his lifestyle but here it seems that there is another purpose behind Conor McGregor return to the UFC arena namely being able to prove to the world that he is still a strong fighter and cannot underestimated.
If you look at Conor McGregor confidence he does look very ambitious to return to holding the championship belt even though it is in a division that is difficult to win.

Well hopefully the decision to return doesn't cause him to suffer any more serious injuries.
Hahaha Machado Garry imitates Conor McGregor style which is like a person with arrogance but it's interesting and gives an annoying feeling when you see him imitating McGregor style.

[pawel7777]

He takes a loss like a man, by not searching for excuses, and becomes friends with his opponents

In other words, he stands no chance.
I'm rooting for him, but he's going to get massacred in a stand-up, and unlikely will be able to take Adesanya down and hold him there, as it's way easier to be said than done, and even Sterling failed against O'Malley with that tactic.

1. Do you still remember Alistair Overeem? That pumped steroid monster. Well, after retire from kickboxing and mma he gonna try himself in Dutch Parliament

That's actually a quite popular route for retired fighters with a lot of fame in their countries. Democracy is a joke, fame and recognition is more important than merit.
I believe both Fiodor Emailanenko and Mirko CroCop got elected to their home parliaments.

2. Conor McGregor received black belt in bjj This one is hilarious imho. https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/1698883340122685453

Maybe it's the low quality video, but he looks more in shape than the last time I saw him. Maybe I wrote him off too soon...
