I liked when he said "I think he will take me seriously!"

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s words on Khabib’s retirement

In the interview above Khabib Nurmagomedov's father (R.I.P.) predicted Islam Makhachev would become 155 lb UFC champion sometime after Khabib retired. Which would prove the coaching and training that Khabib and Islam have had are the best in MMA. That is what is at stake in the Drew Dober vs Islam Makhachev fight.

Well, this fight will be very good. An hour ago, I saw by the STAR Action TV channel a special UFC program, and JAN  I really surprise me, because it dominates the style of fight "Jiu Jitsu Brazilian", it is a very strong fighting style, of course, Adesanya has Champion wood and has that mentality, it is also a net boxer, what style will it dominate?
 
Jan has more weight, some are betting much more for him, but Adesanya may surprise, has to show much more strength and speed. If Adesanya wins would be a total success, because this guy manages very positive statistics, there are many who believe it will be K.O.

obviously, Adesanya is the crowd's favorite anyone who saw him fight before will likely bet for him to win. he has the winning chance in the fight. but Blachowicz also has a power punch, one hit could knock Adensanya for a win. so there will be KO, the question is who so we're still unsure yet. will try to bet for Blachowicz By KO for few bucks just to enjoy the fight. 

[YuginKadoya]

Its obvious that I want Israel Adesanya to win this fight and became the light heavyweight Champ and the fifth UFC fighter having a back to back Champion but I fear that Adesanya could struggle against Jan Blachowicz, I don't know I just got the gut feeling about it for seeing how Blachowicz evolve in his career after defeating Dominick Reyes he is not reasoning his fight with just brute force but with collective thinking whether he will strike or used another tactic like submission on his opponent.

But I can not let my doubts got into me Adesanya when he fight Paul Costa was a magnificent fight but it is not in the light heavyweight division, So I am saying that Israel Adesanya will win this but may Struggle but I think Adesanya came prepared before going on with this fight so I still think he may win with an 80% probability.

Watch before the fight happens and see what makes this champion tick before placing your bets.
I can relate to the way Isreal carries himself into a fight and does not let things get in his way to achieve his goals.
Think of it as mamba mentality.

I like Israel Adesanya and what he is doing for the sport MMA, however, how can he defeat Jan who is a fighter bringing 30 more pounds of weight over Adesanya? Dana is very much hyping his new pet hehehe. We should be realists because the fight might also be similar to Dustin Poirier vs Max Holloway.

that's what Jan meant when he said "I think he will take me seriously!"  30 more pounds isn't a safer opponent for anyone not even for the stylebender for a competitive MMA match. bigger fighters like Jan who is in the light heavyweight can easily recover after a slight groggy when hit by a high kick to the head. it's a dangerous weight class for Adesanya.

This was a discussion prior to the weigh-ins today.
BTW, I never really checked out the v-log series for this fight but after watching the latest one today found it an interesting introspective of what each fighter goes through building up towards the fight card taking place:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT6OBT_bHuU
Shows them during the weigh-ins and I liked watching it more due to the editing done to cut it down so you are only needing to watch the important points.

Israel had a pizza box at the end of his weigh-in to show he thought needed to gain more weight so to face the likes of Jan.
Weighing at just over 200 (they announced he was at 201 and a half) he didn't met the 205 but still impressive to have bulked up as much as his frame allowed from 185lbs weight class to this 200lbs he stands at now.
15-16lbs aint half bad to gain and it looks to be all muscle.

But as bbc.reporter has already mentioned Blachowicz is at a 30 pound advantage over his opponent.
So if he manages to grapple with him and swing him around the ring like a rag doll,
well then..
It will certainly be over. Because he does look like a monster from his previous fight shown here against Reyes:

Just looked at some staff picks and predictions on the Bloody Elbow site and I am actually quite surprised that the vast majority pick Adesanya over Jan. I am not surprised by them picking Nunes to win over Anderson or even mixed picks for Sterling and Yan (in favor of Yan), but with the main fight they all act like Jan is a lamb brought to slaughter. They all credit him as having more power and that just about sums it up, living room to write up about Izzy being the second coming of Jesus. I know Jan an't the best LHW but for f**** sake give the man some chance.

So are anybody checking their respective sports books to see who has the best odds?

You can check odds of different sportsbooks on odds comparators like oddschecker.com for example :
https://www.oddschecker.com/ufc-mma/jan-blachowicz-v-israel-adesanya/winner
As you can see 1.47 for Adesanya is currently the biggest odds among main sportsbooks.

I am actually quite surprised that the vast majority pick Adesanya over Jan.

All the major prediction sites that i follow picked Israel Adesanya to win the fight and some have picked for TKO win but i think Jan Błachowicz is hard to finish unless you are a hard puncher and he has the ground game and everyone is sleeping on the ground game of Jan Błachowicz and we have seen Middle Weight fighters testing Adesanya in striking.

I am not surprised by them picking Nunes to win over Anderson or even mixed picks for Sterling and Yan (in favor of Yan), but with the main fight they all act like Jan is a lamb brought to slaughter. They all credit him as having more power and that just about sums it up, living room to write up about Izzy being the second coming of Jesus. I know Jan an't the best LHW but for f**** sake give the man some chance.

Amanda Nunes is the heavy favorite in this card and no one expects Megan Anderson to defeat her but she has the size and reach advantage and i am expecting the fight to go over 1.5 rounds.

Aljamain Sterling has the grappling advantage and he has a chance to win and the only bet i make is Islam Makhachev which i think is a sure bet .

Hello friends, rdbase!

I'm pretty much an MMA virgin here. I HAVE placed fiat bets before and I spent many, many, MANY nights drinking beer and throwing baht at muay thai fighters in Thailand in the 2000s (total crazy and fun atmosphere, seriously) so I definitely get the buzz around these fights.

But having my own fun here with Sportsbet promos and will be following my picks: Medic, Rakic, Kenney and Yadong on a 7/1 total odds, parlayed with a football win for Spurs (already booked haha).

Good luck!

^Yeah mine's still 1.45, and fiat bookie boring at 1.40

[Kakmakr]

I watched Eddie's Stream (co-owner of Stake and the Official betting partner of the UFC) today and he placed a bet on Israel Adesanya to win with a knockout in the first round. I think I am going to do the same, even though I know it is going to be a big call against Mr Strong jaw. 

I hope Israel is quick enough to dodge the power and to find a way through to bring him down early... if the fight goes on too long, he might get lucky and he might get Israel on the ground and use his power to tap him out. (well that is my prediction)
