Next Friday there's two events on Bellator and Cage Warrior

I think on this Cage Warrior 143 event is full of no name fighters, so I'm not really focus about it. While Bellator 285 where the main event is Henderson vs Queally, Henderson was a good fighter but he's performance seems inconsistent since he's suffering many lose streak while Queally seems to be a new star on lightweight division.

The Co Main event are quite interesting since both Manhoef and Romero are already old, Romero need to warry from Manhoef punch since he's a KO artist.

Here are the results of today's fight, on LFA 142: Amorim vs. Nichols

Jaqueline Amorim VS Ashley Nichols ROUND 1 SUBMISSION - WIN

That was an incredibly fast victory from Jaqueline Amorim, she immediately goes towards that takedown, and from that she first went to ground and pound and she sees that it is not successful she immediately grabs Ashley Nichol's arm for an armbar, then her opponent taps in pain, it was a quick fight for Amorim, a very powerful one, she already knows what she will do,

Thomas Petersen VS Kory Moegenburg ROUND 2 KO/TKO - WIN

Just as I thought it will be a comeback win for Thomas Peterson, it was a pretty much slow fight both fighters were really exhausted, but Thomas Petersen had stayed on Moegenburg's back he can deliver a rear naked choke but he goes for a slow ground and pounding punches, that led into a win,

Next Friday there's two events on Bellator and Cage Warrior

I don't watch Cage Wariors but this Bellator 285 event could be very interesting to watch with Yoel Romero coming back in octagon again against other oldtimer Melvin Manhoef.
If I was making this card I would move Manhoef vs Romero for main event instead of Henderson vs Queally, but I am not even near matchmakers
Romero should win, he is huge favorite and he has the reach advantage, but I don't like this odds at all, so much that I would even try small bet against him.
Bellator 285 is already available on Sportsbet website: https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/bellator/bellator-285/matches

Dana White Contender Series week 9 is starting in few hours and that is always fun to watch when we have prospects like this.

Dana White Contender Series week 9 is starting in few hours and that is always fun to watch when we have prospects like this.

You are right Bellator 285 could be a crazy fight with Yoel Romero from UFC, the Main event could be promising but the Yoel Romero VS Melvin Manhoef is the one that I think fans would likely see but for me, the Main Event is Benson Henderson lost to Damian Maia and they surely fight with grappling that fight was really have the pressure on Benson Henderson, I have watch it and Damian Maia was just chilling and Henderson seems pretty much scared to close the distance, he knows that Damian can surely reversed their situation and Benson Lost it, while Peter Queally have lost brutally against Patricky Pitbull, for me I would go with Benson Henderson, while on the Yoel Romero VS Melvin Manhoef I will surely go with Romero with these fight,  

And the Contender Series Week 9 results

Brunno Ferreira Defeated Leon Aliu and gets UFC Contract

Raul Rosas Jr. Defeated Mando Gutierrez and Gets UFC Contract

Austen Lane Defeated Richard Jacobi and Gets UFC Contract

Nurullo Aliev Defeated Josh Wick and gets UFC Contract

Yeah, Dana White was very happy after this event because he saw a lot of KO finishes
Jafel Filho ended up in hospital after the fight but he got the contract, Nurullo Aliev face reminds me a little on Khabib's face and he is first UFC fighter from Tajikistan,
Austen Lane will be good addition in heavyweight, Raul Rosas signed with being only 17 years old, and Brunno Ferreira has a perfect 9-0 record.

I've seen a lot of posts about Raul Rosas in Twitter and Instagram. I havent watched full fight, just scrolled it through, but havent noticed anything special to see why there is so much hype around him. The hype is because he is 17 and he is in UFC ? Or that 17 years old kid compete with adults? I dont understand that. He is allowed to his people in the face, get paid for that, but is not allowed to buy an alcohol - lol

If we impose that information on current a situation that is going on in the world (huge war), then there is no big deal about 17 years old kid performs in UFC. From age 18, kids are allowed to go to military service, with allowance from parents from 16. That means from 16 they are allowed to kill.

Its something new at least. It normally happens in boxing only where a 14yr old kid trains in boxing gym in Mexico, Peurto Rico or Philippines and then begin to fight as amateur.

Rosas is the first we see in MMA. But he will be tested. If he proves to be good, the longer can Dana hype him. Until 35 I guess.

I have watched all replays, and it was amazing that is why Dana White is so much happy for giving them UFC Contracts these 5 fighters deliver an amazing finish to their fights,

So sad for Jafel Filho to get an injury on the fight, but it was worth it getting the UFC contract was all he needed, and pretty much he is very happy in hearing about it, pretty much that Contender series is a banger, that is why I am looking forward for more Contender series like these,

Manny Pacquiao was age 16 when he started fighting inside the ring with adult boxers, but back then the age limit was very strict so he used fake age when he fights inside the ring, they say that he is already willing to fight a guy with 10 years gap to him, but you can never be young or old to get what you wanted, or to be who you wanted to be, It just that in a young age he is early to look for things that could make him money for his family,

I remember Mike Tyson started boxing very early and he had his first official fight with 18 years old, but I would say that MMA is much more dangerous.
Someone even said that Tyson had to lie in one of his fights because he was underage but he didn't look that young.

LOL I didn't know about this but I just wrote that the same thing happened with Mike Tyson

Well pretty much boxers are getting younger these days, they need to lie about their age to get a professional license, If you have watched the documentary about Manny Pacquaio you will know what hardship he faced in order to get what he attained now,


And because of the success of the later Contender Series, I really want to see some action and because fighters here are desperate in getting a contract with the UFC

Yoel Romero is far from finishing his MMA carrier judging by his last brutal KO win against Melvin Manhoef, and he made it look so easy.
In few months he is going to have 46 years and he can maybe go for another try on light-heavyweight category title belt.

Yoel Romero is a real genetic freak of nature and no one i know will be looking like him at 46 years old and still fight at the highest level and this was a predictable result against  Melvin Manhoef who is fighting his last bout but the upset for me in this card was Mads Burnell as i expected him to win and was a heavy favorite and still Pedro Carvalho fought his way to victory and messed my parlay.

This goes to show even if he is in his 45 years of age he can surely still fight and while barking at the camera, after his loss to Phil Davis in his 1st match on Bellator he retaliates with a win against Alex Polizzi, with a punches and now Melvin Manhoef with an elbow from the mount, it goes to show despite his age he can still Knock out dudes in a braking fashion way,

Well, Israel Adesanya fought a hard fight against this dude, I think Robert Whittaker and Paulo Costa as well that the fight have become a decision lost to Yoel Romero that is how a freak of nature deal inside the ring, before ending up in Bellator that is how durable this fighter can be, giving the fight to Izzy, and even if Izzy has won Yoel Romero thinks he is the dominating fighter, that he has said that Israel Adesanya just runs inside the cage,

I really don't know on what age he would still go until he retires but I think maybe 48? but that will be a tough one for him,

The only thing that is missing for Yoel Romero in his career is winning a belt, he won the interim bout but since he missed the weight he was not eligible to hold the title and now since he is in Bellator i would like to see him winning a belt either at Middle Weight if he is able to make weight or for the Light Heavyweight title. All of his losses were close fights, his athletics ability and his quick bursts offenses are his strength.

I really don't know on what age he would still go until he retires but I think maybe 48? but that will be a tough one for him,

As long as he is able to maintain his health and perform at this highest level, he will be fighting.

In this fight, I think he has shown some guts that he is likely not stopping in getting what he wants that is why he has switched to Bellator Well the level of competition in the UFC was very high although the level of competition on Bellator aswell is something he should not underestimate I think he has a chance in getting what he wants, with Bellator,

As long as he is able to maintain his health and perform at this highest level, he will be fighting.

Well, you are right in that if Yoel Romero stayed healthy he would surely get what he wants, there is a lot to do in staying healthy, and looking at Romero he has a physique that is built to brawl, the thing that he will just be needing was the mental state to pursue what he likes, I really think Yoel Romero has the fighting IQ he needs, while Thiago Santos has switched to PFL aswell, I think maybe they can not achieve what they want in the level of Competition with UFC,


These are my picks for the Contender Series 2022: Week 10 going with the favorites

Bo Nickal(1.05) VS Donovan Beard(8.00) -  Going with Nickal, but will not bet on this fight because of the odds,

Sam Patterson(1.43) VS Vinicius Cenci(2.65) - Going with Patterson,

Freddy Linares(2.80) VS Jack Jenkins(1.39) - Going with Jenkins

Rafael Ramos Estevam(1.44) VS João Elias(2.60) - Going with Estevam

Ashiek Ajim(3.05) VS Mateus Mendonça(1.33) - Going with Mendonca

[notblox1]

All of his losses were close fights, his athletics ability and his quick bursts offenses are his strength.

I wouldn't say all his loses were close, he lost one fight with KO when he was younger, and there are other unanimous decision loses in his carrier.
Everyone remembers his boring fight with Adesanya with him standing in center and not moving at all.
Winning a title at his age in Bellator would be great success, but maybe he could win something in Grand Prix.

There is a lot of MMA action this week and one of them is all women Invicta FC 49 Delboni vs DeCoursey.
Main event will decide who is Atomweight Champion, old Delboni or new challenger Jillian DeCoursey.
Total seven fights is a nice warmup for this week women main event in UFC.

I also find it an easy win for Romero. Somehow I have expected more from Manhoef. I remember him being explosive during his K1 era and awaited similar in a fight against Romero. But Manhoef seems to be scared of Romeros wrestling and kept (as long as possible) the fight on a distance. To me this fight looked like Manhoef was defending, but Romero was choosing in what way he is going to finish Melvin.

Actually Delboni is the new challenger and DeCoursey is the old one

It's just interesting DeCoursey is a champion while she only fought 8 times on her professional MMA career, while Delboni have fought 15 times or 2 times higher than DeCoursey. Delboni already have enough experience and she might beat DeCoursey, she need to be wary from DeCoursey punch since her punch is really powerful. If it goes distance and DeCoursey lose her stamina, Delboni will win via decision.

These are my picks for the Contender Series 2022: Week 10 going with the favorites

Bo Nickal(1.05) VS Donovan Beard(8.00) -  Going with Nickal, but will not bet on this fight because of the odds,

Sam Patterson(1.43) VS Vinicius Cenci(2.65) - Going with Patterson,

Freddy Linares(2.80) VS Jack Jenkins(1.39) - Going with Jenkins

Rafael Ramos Estevam(1.44) VS João Elias(2.60) - Going with Estevam

Ashiek Ajim(3.05) VS Mateus Mendonça(1.33) - Going with Mendonca

All huge favorites...  But among those picks, and I'd assume you at least checked the stats or something, which fighter is the least likely to win?  So meaning, which fighters would you not include in a parlay?  That could prolly make a good underdog pick.  

Anyway, I think I heard the name Bo Nickal before.  Isn't he the same guy who already fought in the Contender Series?  I heard he's good and if it's him I wonder why he wasn't given a UFC contract.  

[notblox1]

Actually Delboni is the new challenger and DeCoursey is the old one

Sorry but his is not true, when I said old I meant current old champion.
Jessica Delboni is current atomweight champion in Invicta from January 12 of this year so she can't be challenger in the same time.   
Jillian DeCoursey is the only challenger and I don't think she was ever Invicta champion.

Anyway, I think I heard the name Bo Nickal before.  Isn't he the same guy who already fought in the Contender Series?  I heard he's good and if it's him I wonder why he wasn't given a UFC contract.  

Contender Series is starting in few hours, and I also remember Dana White was impressed with Bo Nickal last time and he told him he will sign a contract if he wins one more fight.
He is just starting his MMA carrier but he is coming from American Top Team and he has good grappling background.
This could be good warm up event to watch, I see couple of fighters from Brazil with perfect MMA record.
