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

[buwaytress]

I never thought the day would come when my UFC browser (yeah I'm the kind of guy who runs about 10 instances of Chrome heh) opens up and all I see is Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg on my feed.

Didn't even really know he was a UFC fighter (but that tells me it's been around longer than I was aware of).

Trash talking doesn't always pay off, huh?

Edit: So I've been informed my news feeds are at least slightly misguided, more of a former kickboxer.

.. Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg on my feed.

Didn't even really know he was a UFC fighter (but that tells me it's been around longer than I was aware of).

As far as I know he was a kickboxer in Asia had some good fights then retired into running his mouth for a living.
Funny thing you mention about this Greta Thunberg thing amongst them happening.
Was Just watching a podcast about it which was the stupidest thing I had watched in a long time. And I watch alot of dumb stuff on youtube/podcasts happening.
She told him to send her an email back and the address she sent him was smalldickengery(at)getalife.com
Well you can make your own conclusions on that one.

Then just heard this live while looking for the video I was watching yesterday:
Andrew Tate detained in Romania from twitter exchange with Thunberg:

After seeing news clips shown on main media, what gave his location away was a pizza box in his rebuttal video back to greta.
Jerry's pizza is a pretty well known pizzeria in Romania and they pin pointed his location from doing some simple searches in those cities.
Her response back was "I guess you should of recycled you pizza boxes." when Tate said in his video back to her he was glad not to use recycled boxes for his pizza.
What was a surprise is that authorities in several countries were looking for him going on five years.
Karma came to him in form of a Romanian cell for his New Years eve.

It has been slow for any news from anything in the UFC since the last fight several weeks ago.

Was getting excited for the UFC to come back to fill our weekends out but yet another main event was cancelled for the first UFC fight of the year.
Don't know if it has been confirmed as it is still early but Sean Strickland is ready to take on Nassourdine Imavov for the main card.

In some serious news, inregards to what everybody has heard about by now with UFC president Dana White in an altercation with his wife on New Years eve. They are now asking for him to step down as president of the organization.

This is still an ongoing investigation so nothing has been stated so far from the UFC on this matter.

[rdbase]

There won't be any disciplinary action taken against president of the UFC Dana White reported by many media outlets on this so far.
Here is his recent appearance during UFC 67 media day last night:

Also Umar discusses the latest on Khabib Nurmagomedov's retirement from coaching during this same press release:

The last UFC was just closing when news broke heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou was leaving the UFC and in doing so giving up his title as well.
This was a very surprising thing to hear since the next big fight was set for him to face Jon Jones but with the unveiling of the banner with him fighting somebody else for 285 event the interviewer of MMAfighting Ariel Helwani confirmed on his podcast.

"Reacts to Francis Ngannou's UFC Departure, Dana White's Claims | The MMA Hour"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uizQbrVR2NQ
He then goes on to get an interview with Ngannou on the situation from his point of view released today:
https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/1/17/23558175/the-mma-hour-special-tuesday-edition-with-francis-ngannou

President of the UFC Dana White had also confirmed earlier then that Ngannou rejected the contract they offered to pay him making him the highest paid fighter in the UFC:

Within just 13 hours the weigh-ins for UFC 283 will begin and can be viewed here from the official UFC channel on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfoZ3vc8yf8

According to the comments on their channel there would not be a press conference for this event.

There was a media day for it yesterday which can be viewed on their channel in several different videos.

Busy weekend in sports and glued to the tv all afternoon with so many sports going on all at the same time.
Completely forgot there was a UFC event in progress since it is in Brazil so started earlier than usual on a Saturday night.

The first two fights have already been done and now McKinney is fighting and it is a bruiser!

Saw another thread with someone saying they put over $2,500usd on one of the fights on the main card.
Moreno vs Figueiredo as the co-main event shouldn't be one to disappoint as it their fourth fight.

I wills say Figueiredo will win and settle this saga once and for all!

[rohang]

Jon jones hasnt fought in 3 years so i think the 2.1 odds on gane are really really generous, but it would be quite a statement if jones wins this no sweat.

Wish ngannou was still with ufc, but huge respect to the man for standing up for fighters by putting his wallet at risk

coming to the fights this week, i love derrick lewis at 2.8 odds

UFC Fight night Main event fights this weekend are with the rematch that was suspended between Derrick Lewis vs Sergey Spivak.

Be sure to put in your selections early for the multi master challenge up above if you haven't yet.

This should be a good one with alot of Asian fighters coming into the competition. So it will be lights out with fast and furious action.

[rdbase]

Quite the easy fight for The Polar Bear Sergey Spivak against a defeated Derrick Lewis late last night.
It wasn't even a challenge from the very start. He basically rag dolled him the entire time it took him to submit him on the ground.
Very disappointing way for him to go out since it didn't even look as if he wanted to fight as it ended early in the first round.

Atleast we got that out of the way and can get on with the big event coming up next weekend!
Buckle up UFC fans!

I was so shocked that Derrick Lewis lost embarrassingly in the first round of this fight, he didn't even counter Sergey Spivak from the start of the round to the neck on the ground, I've seen Derrick Lewis fight before but tonight's fight he was so different, I didn't even predict the fight will compete briefly and also without an even match.

Interesting podcast from Dana White prior to the huge fight between Makhachev vs Volkanovski for UFC 284 this weekend.
Even mentions about Conor Mcgregor going against Michael Chandler after Ultimate Fighter 31.

[TopTort777]

I was wondering for a long time, why we have this topic when we have 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread, as well as why it is self-moderated ? We are discussing same sport, same events, same promotion in two different places. The only reason I could come up with is that this topic is mostly for multi master challenge discussion, that  is ran by sportsbet.io in games and rounds.

We have a new challenge btw. Where should we discuss UFC 284 then? Here because it might help to make a prediction, or in second topic, because it is viewed more and have more posts?

[rdbase]

@TopTort777

This thread is dedicated to Sportsbet.io and would like it to be solely for the bets placed there unlike the mentioned thread.
So there is this reason for the opening of this one.
Also self-moderated for it to not be derailed with other subjects not to do with the topic at hand.
UFC 284 main event this coming February 11th discussion is encouraged here or at the other thread,
that option is up for you and others to decide.

Some of the media links and news that are discussed here are just available here.
For you to enjoy either one, there is no competition between any thread related to this topic of the UFC.

[rdbase]

UFC 284 is quickly approaching with the weigh-ins just around the corner.
Will see if the odds changes prior to those official ones done later on today/tomorrow since they are going by Australian timezones.

I don't suspect they will deviate by much.

[rohang]

who do u guys like between Makhachev and Volkanovski ?

I will place a wager on makhachev by submission @ 2.4 , i think thats a pretty good play
