I am not really that excited, about the main event feels like I already know what may happen but I am more excited about the co-main event I want to see how Pimblett going to win over Jared Gordon, well I will be posting my predictions and picks for that fight on the UFC thread provided by tokeweed,

Yeah, you are right.
The Pimblett fight is way more entertaining.. It's not that Blachowicz or Ankalaev are bad fighters, but Paddy the BADDY simply polarizes. He is not the typical ufc fighter.
I see an early win for Pimblett here.

Heh yeah.  It's why the UFC made him vs Gordon the co main event, two unranked fighters, instead of Bryce Mitchell vs Ilia Topuria who are both ranked within the top 15. 

But with 182's roster not really looking that good and with the new main event really really not looking that good, the UFC had to put somebody like McGregor near the top of the list to draw the crowd in as Blachowicz or Ankalaev are surely not gonna do it.

Honestly, I'm excited for every card and main fight to be honest. I can't wait to watch Ankalaev's awesome attacks, his powerful hits, and how Blachowicz will respond. I'm excited for the Pimblett game, but the main game is more connected to me. Pimblett has always been one of the fun side of the UFC. I cannot go without saying that he is also talented. Pibllet only has three UFC fights. Gorgon is a full-fledged UFC veteran with more experience than Pibblet. This fight will be a very important test for Pibblet. If he can win this fight, he will return to his country with great pride. He has a great motivation, in fact, this motivation can win him this fight.

It is not a surprise that people who can entertain the crowd will be having more fans than other potential fighters like Sean Brady, Shavkat Rakhmonov who are still undefeated and Shavkat Rakhmonov really does have the potential to become a champion and since they are not great in antics rarely the casual fans notice them. Paddy Pimblett is not undefeated and we will see his skills when he fights the top 5 fighters of the division.

Faceoff was finished for Bellator upcoming event and there was one strange image I had to share with Dalton Rosta and Anthony Adams
This guy came is ski mask like some criminal, maybe to scare his opponent but it was interesting to watch.
Prelims for Bellator are free on their youtube channel so remember to tune in and watch fights for free.

[YuginKadoya]

Do you believe in a magic of numbers ?

Ankalaev got a title fight after 9 straight wins.

Khabib got a title fight after 9 straight wins and became a champion.
Kamaru Usman got a title fight after 9 straight wins and became a champion.
Max Holloway got a title fight after 9 straight wins and became a champion.
Leon Edwards got a title fight after 9 straight wins and became a champion.
Tony Ferguson got a title fight after 9 straight wins and became a champion.
Islam Makhachev got a title fight after 10 straight wins and became a champion. Whoops, system crash

Get the logic ?

Sorry but I really don't believe in that kind of superstition pattern, pretty much it was all coincidence that it happens, if that could be accurate then Ankalaev will likely lose because Makhachev makes the system crash with his 10 straight wins

Israel Adesanya got a title fight after 5 straight wins and became a champion, while
Alex Pereira got a title fight after 3 straight wins and became a champion,

pretty much I really don't believe this kind of theory, I pretty much Magomed Ankalaev will win over Jan Blachowicz, for sure

It was a face-off but surely Anthony Adams just don't want a faceoff but pretty much wants to hide his face or maybe a ninja or yeah a terrorist to strike intimidation on Dalton Rosta, but it doesn't really work with Rosta, pretty much instead of looking brilliant he looks kind of a fool doing it, but surely Dalton Rosta bulk body is the thing to be feared by Adams,

While the Magomed Magomedov VS Patchy Mix was the one that I anticipated watching, Mix surely has the height advantage and maybe a reach advantage aswell over Magomedov and you guess it right I will surely bet for Magomedov, for this, he wins unanimously against Said Nurmagomedov on the Russian MMA Championship 2012, and a split decision against Petr Yan on Absolute Championship Berkut 32,

Yes, that's right. The next fights and the stronger opponents that follow will be decisive for Paddy's UFC career.
His three previous opponents in the UFC were all very inexperienced when it came to UFC appearances..

Nevertheless, you can see what a strong BJJ fighter he is, his stats alone prove it:
19 wins, 9 of them won early through submission.. thats close to 50% 

[YuginKadoya]

I haven't posted my predictions and picks here, because of sudden things that I need to do first, but this is the result of the Bellator 289: Stots vs. Sabatello event

MAIN CARD

Raufeon Stots Def Danny Sabatello Via DECISION, SPLIT
Liz Carmouche Def Juliana Velasquez Via SUBMISSION, ARMBAR
Patchy Mix Def Magomed Magomedov Via SUBMISSION, GUILLOTINE CHOKE
Dalton Rosta Def Anthony Adams Via DECISION, UNANIMOUS

PRELIMINARY CARD

Ilara Joanne Def Denise Kielholtz Via DECISION, SPLIT
Jaleel Willis Def Kyle Crutchmer Via DECISION, UNANIMOUS
Cris Lencioni Def Cody Law Via DECISION, SPLIT
Christian Echols Def Patrick Downey Via KO/TKO, RIGHT UPPERCUT
Kai Kamaka III Def Kevin Boehm Via KO/TKO, PUNCHES FROM BACK CONTROL
Michael Lombardo Def Mark Lemminger Via KO/TKO, LEFT HOOK
Cass Bell Def Jared Scoggins Via DECISION, SPLIT

The Full mask terrorist on the weigh-ins, Anthony Adams had lost to Dalton Rosta via decision I really thought that Rosta could get a Knockout win against Adams, but Anthony Adams was really safe with his movements Rosta has perfectly landing punches to Adams, even though a superman punch but indeed it didn't budge Adams a bit, but on the 2nd round Rosta is now looking for a submission win but to no avail, it was stopped by Adam's but indeed the one that is dominating the fight was really Dalton Rosta,

While Magomed Magomedov is having trouble with Patchy Mix's length the reach of those punches is troubling him in getting an opening and it was a good start for Patchy Mix I never realise that Magomed Magomedov was using Jiu-Jitsu instead of Combat sambo or Dagestan Wrestling even though he was from Dagestan, and so Mix have Dominated the entire round and getting that guillotine choke of Magomedov,

I don't understand how Anthony Adams made the old mistake of drawing too much attention before the fight, it seems he hasn't seen how all fighters who are too exhibitionistic or do unusual things to get attention before the fight end up as they end badly, most sometimes showy fighters always lose in the fight, I myself have seen funny videos on youtube of so many fighters who are showing off and doing unusual things before the fight and at the time of the fight they lose and the saddest thing is that they can't even last many rounds, they lose too early, congratulations to Dalton Rosta for the victory, he had better chances of winning this fight in my opinion

Pretty much for so much attention he got himself in a position he can never return again, and after doing that he surely regrets it for the rest of his life, for sure there are many that are doing this kind of antic like Ion Cutelaba and his Hulk painted green all over, he surely giving life to his nickname, and Tom Lawlor wearing a mask and he ended up stumbling down was really hilarious and cringy, and going out with a bucket of KFC on his head and with a face mask and bag that looks like a robot, and lastly his Conor McGregor impersonation complete with a sticker tattoo on his chest, and Markus Perez dresses and face painted as the Joker, and Angela Hill that cosplayed as Sagat, and Dhalsim from the Street Fighter game, surely a little fun would not surely hurt,

And recently LFA 148 event Chris Brown won against Alfonso Leyva now LFA has an RNB Welterweight Champion,

Well, wearing a mask could be something for him, it may be to scare Dalton Rosta or just to hide from embarrassment, which is the right choice knowing that he will lose to Rosta after the fight, Dalton Rosta was really too much for Anthony Adams from start to finish he is dominating Adams that is why the result is a unanimous decision, Dalton Rosta from start to finish had get all of the rounds, that power and durability was too much for him,

Pretty much for so much attention he got himself in a position he can never return again, and after doing that he surely regrets it for the rest of his life, for sure there are many that are doing this kind of antic like Ion Cutelaba and his Hulk painted green all over, he surely giving life to his nickname, and Tom Lawlor wearing a mask and he ended up stumbling down was really hilarious and cringy, and going out with a bucket of KFC on his head and with a face mask and bag that looks like a robot, and lastly his Conor McGregor impersonation complete with a sticker tattoo on his chest, and Markus Perez dresses and face painted as the Joker, and Angela Hill that cosplayed as Sagat, and Dhalsim from the Street Fighter game, surely a little fun would not surely hurt,

After that you said it, I searched all the funny weigh-ins and faceoffs from the UFC, and I was really laughing at all the Cringe they have shown, moreover I never knew that Angela Hill was too good at cosplaying and  that Dhalsim cosplay really was accurate and that Tom Lawlor also was a funny one as well impersonating Conor McGregor is hilarious McGregor also like what he is doing aswell,

Wow! congrats to Chris Brown (the singer) pretty much this is Lil Dicky in his body and fighting Alfonso Leyva but kidding aside I haven't made a bet and a pick because I had something to check at that time, but it was KO/TKO win for Chris Brown and the new Welterweight Champion,

There's new event from KSW in this week, it's KSW 77 the main event is Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Mamed Khalidov, the co main event is both fight between Przybysz vs Jakub Wikłacz and Chuzhigaev vs Ivan Erslan. Pudzianowski had five win streak via KO which is insane, although Khalidov had a long experience in MMA, but I doubt he can beat Pudzianowski. Przybysz seems has low chance to lost against Wiklacz, while Chuzhigaev is still a new champion, he need to prove against Erslan if he deserved to wear the belt.



KSW77 quick card:
M. Pudzianowski  vs.  Mamed Khalidov 265 lbs
S. Przybysz  vs.  Jakub Wikłacz 135 lbs
I. Chuzhigaev  vs.  Ivan Erslan 205 lbs
Daniel Rutkowski  vs.  Lom-Ali Eskijew 145 lbs
Andrzej Grzebyk  vs.  Emil Weber Meek 170 lbs
P. Kaczmarczyk  vs.  Pascal Hintzen 145 lbs
Bogdan Gnidko  vs.  M. Pîrvulescu 205 lbs
Adrian Gralak  vs.  Yann Liasse 155 lbs
Shamad Erzanukaev  vs.  Carl McNally 135 lbs
Michał Domin  vs.  Patryk Likus 145 lbs

I'm surprised that UFC 282 isn't even talked about here.. especially about the fight over the main fight (Błachowicz vs. Ankalaev)
To this day I can't understand how the referees decided. Even in the post fight interview with Joe Rogan, it was clear to Jan Blachowicz that he himself was very uncomfortable.
Even he was honest enough to admit that the fight shouldn't have ended in a draw.

But somehow it wasn't the evening of the referees anyway, even in the Pimblett Fight the scorecards were very "strange".  

[notblox1]

Hey man, I have to ask you a simple simple question, CAN YOU READ the title and everything that was written in first post?!
I don't want to repeat myself, but we are talking about everything related to MMA except UFC, topic title and first post is enough for most people.
There is separate topic for UFC and we don't want to have duplicate topics used for spam.
Thank you for understanding

One of the last MMA events this year and it is going to be bombastic with Pudzianowski coming back.
Don't miss Ibragim Chuzhigaev vs Ivan Erslan in light heavyweight category, this should be interesting to watch and we could see a surprise underdog win in this fight.

✂

to the ksw event mentioned above, another (eleventh) fight duel was officially announced today. this is a female cage fight between polish Wiktoria Czyżewska and ukrainian Oleksandra Karaseva.
here again all duels visually represented:

[YuginKadoya]

I think I will make my pick for the fights on KSW 77 for me it was an exciting event and because we will all witness a David and Goliath fight a Middleweight VS a Heavyweight for the Main Event,

Mariusz Pudzianowski VS Mamed Khalidov

The stake odds for this fight are 2.29 for Pudzianowski and 1.56 for Khalidov, now I really don't know why a battle between two significantly different weight classes would need to collide and I really don't know their beef with each other but because of Pudzian heavy mass he got the advantage of weight and against Khalidov that is a middleweight only and a wrestler so that is one significant factor of edge with weight and Pudzian also got that knockout power for the fight to only last 1 round for me this is a no brainer my pick is Pudzianowski but indeed it is one curious fight to watch,

Sebastian Przybysz VS Jakub Wikłacz

The stake odds for this fight are 1.39 for Przybysz and 2.75 for Wiklacz, for this fight, Jakub Wiklacz has a reach advantage of 2.3 centimeters over Przybysz and is much younger than him, well even though Sebastian is the favorite win for me Jakub Wiklacz has a good record of 9 submission wins, this could end up nasty because Sebastian Przybysz has a good striking pattern and could knockout Wiklacz fast, but with great timing, Jakub Wiklacz can manipulate his takedowns for me I like the underdog, so my pick will be Jakub Wiklacz,

Aleksandra Karaseva VS Wiktoria Czyżewska

The stake odds for this fight are, well there are no bookies on a stake I think because this is the latest addition to the event, for these fighting kitties it is a fight or Ukraine VS Russia, but let's step back on that political views, but for this fight, I think Wiktoria Czyzewska has many experiences in her past amateur fight but surely she can not underestimate the power of Karaseva, but for me with the beautiful Wiktoria Czyzewka, I think that experience that she has might go fine wit her own way,

[Apocollapse]

I think I will make my pick for the fights on KSW 77 for me it was an exciting event and because we will all witness a David and Goliath fight a Middleweight VS a Heavyweight for the Main Event,

Mariusz Pudzianowski VS Mamed Khalidov

Sebastian Przybysz VS Jakub Wikłacz

Aleksandra Karaseva VS Wiktoria Czyżewska

So many surprise happen on KSW 77, Khalidov can win via TKO in the first round, it was a brutal punch and Pudzianowski can't handle it maybe because of his ages. Although Wikłacz is winning, but Przybysz really give a good match and it's quite close, they deserve to have a rematch. And Czyżewska can beat Karaseva, no comment about it since it's their first debut on KSW lol. However I still wonder why Ivan Erslan performance is quite different than his previous matches.

Here's an event that everybody itt would appreciate.  Hopefully some crypto books put up a market so we can make some bets...  It's good while we're waiting for a month before the next UFC event.

Bellator MMA vs Rizin FF

Date:  December 31, 9:00pm EST
Venue:  Saitama Super Arena, Saitama, Japan



Featherweight:  Patrício Pitbull vs Kleber Koike Erbst            
Lightweight:  AJ McKee vs Roberto de Souza            
Bantamweight:  Juan Archuleta vs Soo Chul Kim            
Flyweight:  Kyoji Horiguchi vs Hiromasa Ougikubo            
Lightweight:  Gadzhi Rabadanov vs Koji Takeda

I've always been curious how these guys from other major promotions perform if pitted against each other.  I know AJ McKee would prolly do well vs some of the top guys in his weight class the UFC.  And to a lesser extend, Patricio Pitbull.  He could be a top 10 guy imho.

[cygan]

the lineup for the oktagon 38 event is now fixed
among others the bantamweight title fight between the danish Jonas Magard and the czech Filip Macek will take place in prague on december 30th.
all other cage duels you can see from the graphic

I never saw MMA fight on the last day of this year, and this reminds me on matches we see in Premier League around this time.
This is a great idea for making cross promotion like this Bellator plus Rizin, and maybe this is a perfect way to compete with UFC, but I think Dana White will not like this idea and maybe he is busy with his new slapping competition

[tokeweed]

^  Yup.  They def should work together if Bellator and the other smaller promotions really want to compete with the UFC.  But the thing is the UFC can buy them twice over if they see growth in these smaller promotions.  They did it with Strike Force and the did it with Pride FC.  I wouldn't be surprised if they started buying another small and struggling organization and turn it around to be profitable.  I think the UFC has a stake in Cage Warriors and LFA...  Not really sure but I'll look it up later.

And really, some competition against the UFC will be very good for us too.  More quality fights across different organizations.
