UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion

[buwaytress]

So my trusted UFC informant just updated me about Frank Camacho who's not going to be a part of this weekend's event due to a serious car accident. Good news is he's okay though: https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3-Yh7BCcG/

Better news is that Terrance McKinney has agreed to replace him against Frevola, so hey, all old bets off and maybe a good underdog pick for McKinney?

P.S. I know Vettori is still the value pick but I'm riding a small bet against him too. Gotta throw some money elsewhere every now and then too no?

[rdbase]

Here are the current odds offered for the main event. Being only three days away I can't see changing much from now til then so am posting them up.
From my previous post a month ago they were 3.00x odds for Vettori and is the same for the 1x2. But as shown below are 2.95x odds as the straight winner.

The other bouts will undoubtedly change since the camacho match is still shown as being available but mckinney is taking his place.

So will post the rest of the matches closer to them starting. By tomorrow they should be updated with the correct fighter hence odds.

[rdbase]

Here is the latest odds for UFC 263 as they removed Camacho from what @buwaytress had explained the fighter will be replaced with Mckinney instead. The odds haven't been updated yet but I asked to get an update on them so it should be done prior to before the fight starts.


I am going for a Vettori KO as it has the most value and more than likely to happen out of any of the other selections available. Feel free to debunk this prediction with your own selection. But be sure to back up your claims on why you think a different outcome will happen.
Good luck to all UFC bettors.

You guys are sending the Italian lad to the wrong man at the wrong time, June 12 happens to be a Democracy day here in Nigeria, remembering our lost heroes, this means alot as the country pride is at stake and Adesanye must make us pride by knocking Vettori in the face before the 3rd round.

The odds on Adensanye is quite low for such an important game.

The odds are low because Adesanya is the favorite to win the fight. In addition to the democracy day on June 12, Izzy is eager to get back to winning ways - according to the interview he did with Vettori and some of the UFC 263 camp videos. It's evident that he is working super hard to win. Vettori has also prepared but I'm of the opinion that Adesanya would win by KO. The odds are low but I'm still putting money on my man win. He also needs to defend his title because Vettori is eager to get his hands on it.

During the press conference happening right now, been watching it for the past 25 minutes but missed a chunk of the beginning, seems there is a big rival starting up between these two with a whole lot of bad blood brewing.
Here is the livestream press conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TJfoXDTKvw
He is calling him the Italian Job being dressed in a suit in Arizona and the creature from Lord of the rings/The Goonies.
The crowd are on Adesanya's side of course saying he is the lion of the jungle and all the stuff to hype Isreal up.
It includes all swearing/cussing each other out so making it a quite amusing video and will be definitely be watching the rest when it finishes streaming.
They are trying to get it exciting as a Conor McGregor pre-fight with this conference.
Can't wait to see the weight-ins tomorrow. They just might throw down during the face off like what has happened in the past with some fighters.

[rdbase]

During the press conference between these two in the main card, I didn't understand what Adesanya meant when he mentioned Vettori called him "bro" and "friend" while saying he was going to take that belt away from him.
So it was during their encounter in the hotel while waiting for the event to start as shown here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10xWx-A9RQ0
They seemed all friendly a couple of days ago but I think this is what set it off and will still continuing up until the fight.

[rdbase]

That was a very amazing UFC event.
You had a title defense and title taken in the co and main event.
Moreno crashes Dana's press conference was funny to see.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGloB2_PO7g&list=RDCMUC789h3eqw0H1HqGmIsI26OA&index=6

Adesanya's post match conference on how he got out of the choke hold his opponent had on him as it seemed like he was in control the entire time of the match.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpwclQXKN-U
And another interview where he says the exactly same thing as the press conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9R29_VMtBk

Overall a great match even if the one I thought was going to win lost poorly again.

This UFC event started much earlier than I expected so I missed all the prelims and main card in well underway, so here are my short predictions.
I believe that Volkov can win in main event fight against Gane and it won't be easy but I like the odds.
For co-main event I am also going for underdog Ovince St. Preux to win, he has big reach advantage and I believe his skills are better than Tanner Boser who has weight advantage in this heavyweight fight.

The King is Back! So expect there to be fanfare and press conferences galore this week.

The tale of the tape:

Nearly one week away so nobody should miss betting on this one. The odds for both fighters are very nice and juicy!

[ene1980]

The King is Back! So expect there to be fanfare and press conferences galore this week.

I doubt whether he is really back, one more loss and he has to seriously think about his next career decision as Dustin Poirier will be bringing the fight to him and when he faced strikers of good caliber Dustin Poirier always came out on top and Dustin Poirier might have had a loss against Conor McGregor but that was a while ago when he was young and raw and now he is experienced and fight smart to fall for any traps set by Conor McGregor.

It's his tagline: "Surprise, surprise.. The King is back!"
Here is a video for the upcoming fight where he says it @2:10 of the promotional clip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-sSunyqMjo

Last press conference I seen him do, he looked kind of poor, not wearing his suit. So maybe this fight and a possible win might get him motivated to take his throne again as without a doubt he made Dana white the most money out of any fighter he has had in the past.

[rdbase]

BT Sports did a pretty decent analysis of these two fighters last time that they fought in Abu Dhai on Fight island at the beginning of the year and the first time in 2014.

Here is the video of those two and how they ended early, one for Conor and the other for Poirier.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTETuEQJh6k

Now just need to wait for McGregor to make some noise and watch his antics in the press conference.
Where the fun really begins.

[rdbase]

Finally the first interview with The Notorious one Conor McGregor!
Where had he been hiding at all this time?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQEFnDQNr_w

The fight is about to begin in less than 72 hours from now so you would think he will be swinging from the ceiling and working the microphone at all venues.
I don't even think he made it to the media day coverage yesterday while some of the other fighters who are in this UFC 264 did.
Wanted to see the Conor of old with his trash talking:

here is a giveaway for this event for those who can select all the fighters to win their bouts.

Here we go!
The non-stop videos are just starting to come in on Conor doing the walk on the talk.
He certainly is a good talker but can he walk the walk of what he is putting forward?
What do you think after watching these series of videos in the last hour?

5.6k waiting for just this pre-fight conference to start so you know it is going to absolutely nuts.

Thanks for this thread rdbase, easy to make these picks like Multimaster, ah the good old days:)

McGregor is a funny guy, and it seems that these lighter categories guys are so full of fire, while the heavier ones are a bit more silent I think personally!

Putting in my picks after this based on the odds. Some favorites for sure, and a few "upsets". Good luck to all~!

[rdbase]

What a way to end the fight.
With a broken ankle when stepping back. Nobody predicted this to happen and it wasn't TKO.
Not so sure what they will do now seems retiring is looking the way it ended.
