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

[rdbase]

Yeah guys, it feels the next fight scheduled is a long time from now with this one you have been mentioning happening on December 2 in Austin, Texas.

With some more recent news:
Does anybody see the new merger between PFL and Bellator affecting the UFC in anyway?
The UFC is more dominant in the MMA fight sport than both of them combined.

Hear they might have a possible Ngannou vs Paul in the cards.
I know this is laughable but when it comes bringing in the eyes and hence the dollars to the masses, that is all these type of organizations think about when it comes down to it.
Jake Paul isn't even the same weightclass as Ngannou so this circus-type fight would not fly.

Maybe under the Paul boxing promotions banner but not in the MMA.

Looks like some of your bets were a success @owengtam09 and that one loss I had Leavitt to win as well.
@YuginKadoya had all his selections correct as for the ones I chose for this event lost, except the easy ones for the prelims.
Not an overall exciting event as we are all waiting for the last event of the year to happen between Leon Edwards vs Colby Covington.

The remaining fight scheduled for the next month can be seen here:
https://www.espn.com/mma/schedule/_/league/ufc

It was an almost perfect bet if Jordan Leavitt won it, but Chase Hooper managed to get into Leavitt's back to get that Rear naked choke so for sure Jordan Leavitt's wrestling defense is still not as great as when his time-fighting Paddy Pimblett there for he is still that kind of a fighter for sure I will keep him off my betting in his next fight but for sure it will depend on who is he fighting,

UFC Fight Night | Dariush vs. Tsarukyan

For me this is interesting we can now see what can Arman Tsarukyan do against Beneil Dariush for me I will be very biased against Arman Tsarukyan if you have seen the last fight of Dariush Charles Oliveira had an easy fight against him and Arman Tsarukyan is like a mini Oliveira and he is going into that transition, we will have Dan Hooker VS Bobby Green which is a great Co-Main for sure, Rob Font VS Deiveson Figueiredo which a pretty nice fight but for sure Font will be on the reach advantage, Sean Brady and Kelvin Gastelum, the Preliminary also got a huge impact Clay Guida VS Joaquim Silva and Miesha Tate VS Julia Avila,

Now that we are waiting for the next event because we don't have any event this week for sure it is a long drought for the UFC guys but that is how it is, we could surely determine getting a discussion on the upcoming event early but for sure we are used in getting fight every week, but right now the upcoming event will be Dariush vs Tsarukyan, and just like what you have said Arman Tsarukyan is a great fighter and for me, he got what it takes to win against Beniel Dariush for sure, as we all know that Beniel Dariush is specialize with wrestling and takedowns while Arman Tsarukyan also have both

While I think that Arman Tsarukyan has a great wrestling defense for sure and good striking as well, Arman Tsarukyan is the favorite to win this fight so I am also going with Arman Tsarukyan, while in this event UFC Fight Night: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan it's Co-Main Event was canceled because of the injury on Dan Hooker so the Co-Main event was canceled, and so the CO-Main right now is Rob Font VS Deiveson Figueiredo,

Yeah guys, it feels the next fight scheduled is a long time from now with this one you have been mentioning happening on December 2 in Austin, Texas.

I have seen the news that PFL has bought Bellator and I think that was a great move for the PFL, and now in the Bellator Channel here is the link https://www.youtube.com/@BellatorMMA we can see the Bellator MMA channel that PFL is now using it, you can see some videos of the PFL,

[YuginKadoya]

^^
That's a good win for us. Congratulations everyone.
UFC 296 is getting near, I am kind of excited but first, let's bet for the Fight Night again.

Beneil Dariush @3.00 versus Arman Tsarukyan @1.41

37 years old Miesha Tate is also going to fight against Julia Avila, 35 years old.
19-9-0 versus 9-2-0
The odds though seem to be in favor of Julia Avila.
Tate @2.34 vs. Avila @1.63

I like both these underdogs Dariush and Miesha Tate. Dariush first with his power punches and he can also finish the fight in the mat with his submission skills. He may have won his last three fights through decision and a defeat against Charles Oliviera but I think he still has that knockout power that could end the fight anytime. He said he was off that night so I think he just needs to come back stronger.

Thanks, I got all the wins for that event, but right now we don't have any event for the UFC, so I have switched on the PFL betting instead, I think it is a good fight for sure as we are having great fights so far and as they have gotten to Bellator and for sure that is quite awesome for me as Ballator is also a great promotion for the PFL,

For the upcoming fight in the UFC, for sure Arman Tsarukyan will be the favorite to win, as he is lethal when it comes to stand-up and his wrestling techniques, Beneil Dariush pretty much needs the strength to knock his opponent out but in his recent fight against Charles Oliveira we can see that he is lacking something, Beneil Dariush is now 34 years old while Arman Tsarukyan is still at 27, and for me his freestyle fighting has a bigger edge in this fight,

Yeah guys, it feels the next fight scheduled is a long time from now with this one you have been mentioning happening on December 2 in Austin, Texas.

It was a long rest for us and next week is right around the corner as we speak of it, and for sure The holiday break means there are a lot of things that the UFC will be doing for sure,

Well, speaking of the merger of PFL and Bellator it is not like the UFC and Strikeforce merging when Strikeforce fighters were absorbing the champion holder didn't regain their belt instead they started below the rankings which is a dick move for the UFC, however, the PFL is doing great with the Bellator merging and I have seen that they are now using the Bellator MMA channel, and for sure they will hold a PFL vs Bellator fight for sure,

The Jake Paul vs Francis Ngannou fight would be hilarious and for sure Francis Ngannou will one-shot that guy for sure I can not wait to see that if it happens,

According to Donn Davis who is the owner of the PFL, he said uncle Dana is worried and concerned on this merger with Bellator. We cannot be quite certain if this is only speculation from Donn Davis or if this is the truth, however, we can be quite certain that MMA fans and bettors will be very happy to have better events to watch and more fights to bet from the PFL hehehehe.



The long-rumored acquisition of Bellator by the PFL has finally been announced, and PFL Chairman Donn Davis believes UFC CEO Dana White might be concerned by the news.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani on the day that the news broke, Davis touched on a number of topics and also weighed in on how White might be feeling after he's had to field questions regarding a potential PFL and Bellator merger in recent press conferences.

“Everybody knows Dana well enough that he only dismisses things that worry him, or else he just doesn’t comment,” Davis said on The MMA Hour. “He didn’t comment on the PFL for four years, ‘cause he wasn’t worried. He’s commented on the PFL a lot the last six months – [he’s] worried.”

“Our cards are gonna be better [next year]…That’s why [Dana White] said ‘I don’t know why in God’s green Earth anybody is buying [Bellator].’...UFC ain’t the NFL. We’re not the XFL – but he wants you to think that. It’s just a matter of time before that starts to get more well-known and we’re not number two, we’re a co-leader.”

You are more than welcome to post links to my Prediction contests for your own sake.
Just know that not everyone is eligible for them. 

[electronicash]

lol Dana in the hospital?

Bellator + PFL and then NGannou vs Paul seem like a ticket-sold-out scenario in minutes. as hilarious as it may seem, this is the kind of match that makes money.
we all know UFC is always been the top promotion but with the rise of PFL and Ngannou promoting his fight that is making trends, it definitely shifted some poles.

[BIT-BENDER]

The UFC fight card keeps getting more boring as time goes by, I have never seen an institution that is so stubborn as the UFC heads especially Dana and I think if things continues like this they would lose credibility and popularity.
We have seen Francis Ngannou leave the UFC because of the payment packages he receives and he is now with the Pfl and has said the amount he will earn on one fight card outweighs his entire UFC earnings which is crazy, Jon Jones is also facing same issue, Isreal Adesanya is also out, I think UFC should pay their fighters better

that ones you are seeing are probably the fight nights like that of Dariush vs. Tsarukyan but the major fights like the next UFC 296 are always great with disappointing outcomes. the one that i would wanna see the most is the Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Stephen Thompson and there is also Paddy vs Ferguson which might really annoy you.

we can't just pick fighters to match with someone, Dana hired someone new to do this that's why its a mess. there are still UFC champions who are not really choosing who to fight like Pereira. the promotion still is alive and more popular.

[danherbias07]

Maybe.
Jake Paul will probably just use Ngannou while the hype about him is still hot. Streamers do this kind of crap because they need more attention and views or else they will be forgotten. Gotta stay with the trend.
He should try and let Ngannou knock him out, that will gain a lot of attention.

That's because we got used to witnessing great fights every week before and there were a lot of great fighters in that era. Silva, Jones, McGregor, Aldo, and more. But they got old which is human, and now there are not a lot of names that are entering those kinds of popularity.
I don't think it's about competition but it may be because of the wrong management of Dana White. Sometimes you go in the wrong direction when a lot of money is coming in.

Anyway Dariush versus Tsarukyan.
Some changes in the odds. Dariush was at @3.00 last week and is now at @3.20. Tsarukyan from @1.41 to @1.38. I am not changing my decision to bet for Dariush on this match.
There are no changes in the odds of Miesha Tate @2.34 versus Julia Avila @1.63. Still going for Tate.
These two underdogs will be my bets for the December 2 match.

Thanks, I want to share the Multi-Master challenge as it has something that provides free bets to someone who has gotten the correct pick of winning fighter it was really easy winning for sure, and as it is also free,

lol Dana in the hospital?

Bellator + PFL and then NGannou vs Paul seem like a ticket-sold-out scenario in minutes. as hilarious as it may seem, this is the kind of match that makes money.
we all know UFC is always been the top promotion but with the rise of PFL and Ngannou promoting his fight that is making trends, it definitely shifted some poles.

For sure this is something that Dana White doesn't want to happen PFL gaining tremendous views and recognition with the fans as the dominance could get shifted really quickly, but for me, I don't think that the UFC would likely need to compete with the PFL as many surely know that the UFC is the number 1 MMA fighting promotion but with the recent PFL and Ngannou collaboration that was really something for the UFC to be on alert on what is happening with the PFL,

The UFC fight card keeps getting more boring as time goes by, I have never seen an institution that is so stubborn as the UFC heads especially Dana and I think if things continues like this they would lose credibility and popularity.
We have seen Francis Ngannou leave the UFC because of the payment packages he receives and he is now with the Pfl and has said the amount he will earn on one fight card outweighs his entire UFC earnings which is crazy, Jon Jones is also facing same issue, Isreal Adesanya is also out, I think UFC should pay their fighters better

For some weird reason, the PFL on their recent event has gained so many views and PFL still isn't stopping creating surprises for the UFC and Dana White, this is concerning to them as the UFC would need to have a better promotion for their fighters and increasing  the pay isn't going to be an option as we all know how the UFC has scheme something Jon "Bone" Jones is still recovering from injury, Israel Adesanya is taking sweet time for sure he wants to be ready enough both physically and mentally, but not out in the UFC,

This is not true, PFL was streaming the recent event free in their Youtube channel and when i started watching the event, the total viewers were below 1k and only during the main event the viewer count touched around 1k which is pathetic view count for a major promotion. Majority of the fights were not that competitive even though it was championship bouts.

[rdbase]

Seen the PFL weigh-ins being featured on youtube for their last event. But didn't know they screened the prelims and main event.
If that is true then it is some sort of promotional strategy so to bring on some more eyes on them since the merger with bellator. They knew there wasn't going to be a UFC event that weekend so they jumped at the chance to try and bring more MMA viewers in this way.

Anyways, looking forward to some of the fights being offered at the UFC fight night Austin event in Texas this weekend.
The ones I am more interested in are the Miesha Tate vs Julia Avila and Jalin Turner vs Bobby King Green.
Here is some clips of these two fighters from these bouts on their media day today:

Bobby Green: ‘I Am Glad That Somebody Stepped Up’ | UFC Austin

Jalin Turner: ‘I Am Ready to Fight, and Do My Job’ | UFC Austin

Julia Avila Details Journey Back from 225 Pounds During Pregnancy for Miesha Tate Fight | UFC Austin

[rdbase]

During the weigh-ins Jalin Turner didn't look like he was going to make weigh again.
But there was an issue with the real scale and digital scales then it was sorted and he managed to make it the second time. But he looked very drawn out by the weigh cut yet he is still the favorite to win vs Bobby Green,

Yeah guys, it feels the next fight scheduled is a long time from now with this one you have been mentioning happening on December 2 in Austin, Texas.

With some more recent news:
Does anybody see the new merger between PFL and Bellator affecting the UFC in anyway?
The UFC is more dominant in the MMA fight sport than both of them combined.

Hear they might have a possible Ngannou vs Paul in the cards.
I know this is laughable but when it comes bringing in the eyes and hence the dollars to the masses, that is all these type of organizations think about when it comes down to it.

Maybe under the Paul boxing promotions banner but not in the MMA.

It "may" be the first serious competence Zuffa will face in the USA

PFL's concept is very interesting, but I don't know if they actually point to the same target audience than Zuffa, the league format (in the regular weight divisions) leads to more technical but boring (to the casual viewer) matches

On the other hand, both PFL "super fight" division and Bellator are all about show the may be the ideal guys to sell Paul's antics

This is later guys for our friends in EST. Tomorrow morning for those who live in GMT+8.
Dariush vs Tsarukyan - Not Done Yet | UFC Austin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dXvIRv14Pw


No one wants to fight Tsarukyan because of his strength but Dariush said he can manage him and stop him from climbing up. He won't let Tsarukyan make him a stepping stone in his career. I like Darius confidence and that is why I will bet for him.

Oh, and have you guys watched the clip about that recent incident between Bobby Green and Tsarukyan's camp?
Here.
https://x.com/theMMAteller/status/1730776489455394924?s=20

Green claims he was attacked by Tsarukyan and his team in the hotel at Austin that's why this keeps on happening. Both lightweights are hot trying to make a spot in higher rankings of their division. Well, soon they might really face each other, they just need to be patient.

I am going to be backing both fighters you had mentioned above in today's bouts in Austin.

Also some news about Jamahal Hill getting arrested. Just goes to show you about this guy's mentality.
He was showing up to all these fighters who was to challenge for the championship title where he lost due to injury and him talking absolute garbage and showing the cut-off symbol towards his neck towards them.
Now look where he has ended up with all that bravado talk.
Nobody likes him. So just go away Jamahal.

[owengtam09]

Here are my picks and Prediction for the fight that is happening now, for UFC Fight Night Austin

Beneil Dariush (3.30) VS Arman Tsarukyan (1.34)


For this fight, I think that Arman Tsarukyan is a greater offensive wrestler than Dariush, and like Beneil Dariush would surely scramble against him for sure, as Beneil Dariush will constantly go with engaging with wrestling but for me, Tsarukyan will have the power in controlling the fight just like Oliveira did, takedown defense is great with Arman Tsarukyan and I have seen him get into the distance while Dariush is seen getting tired on the 4th round and for sure because of his age I really don't know if he can manage to go the distance, so my pick is Arman Tsarukyan,

Jalin Turner (1.54) VS Bobby Green (2.49)[/b]


Jalin Turner is much taller than Bobby Green for sure he got the reach advantage in this fight while Bobby Green will be unpredictable in the stand-up for sure Jalin Turner has many tools in getting into Bobby Green so I assume that Green even though Turner is on short notice he can quickly get a glimpse of what he can do inside the octagon with Bobby Green because for me Jalin Turner is much faster and he like got power as well so my pick is Jalin Turner,

Clay Guida (3.60) VS Joaquim Silva (1.29)


For me, I am going with Joaquim Silva just because Clay Guida is old now, and for me, he is not explosive anymore, for sure even though Joaqui Silva will have the power and strikes to get this done, I like how Silva does have decent wrestling or ground game while I think I am doubting Guida here if he can still scramble on the ground against Turner because I think this is really obvious that it will be for Silva so my pick is Joaquim Silva,

[rdbase]

What a fight night!
The second time in a row a fight move that we haven't seen since the days of StrikeForce with Rampage Jackson.
The head slam to the mat first was Drakkar Klose now by Cody Brundage. There is nothing the opponent can do when they are swung in the air and go head first into the mat and gets knocked out cold!
I don't remember anytime this year that a fight night is better than some UFC main events during the year.

[YuginKadoya]

My bet and prediction for this fight for UFC Fight Night: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan

Beneil Dariush VS Arman Tsarukyan

The odds for this fight are 3.40 for Dariush and 1.36 for Tsarukyan, For this fight I think that Beneil Dariush has some advantage when it comes to wrestling and going into the ground but we can say that Arman Tsarukyan has a great takedown defense for sure for me Arman Tsarukyan is coming into the fight fresh and because he is the younger fighter he is still improving for sure, while Beneil Dariush might have defeated Mateus Gamrot for me Gamrot is different than Arman Tsarukyan and their improvements can be different,

Jalin Turner VS Bobby Green

The odds for this fight are 1.57 for Turner and 2.55 for Green, For this fight and many are saying that Jalin Turner can be at an advantage with the height, range, and for sure wrestling that he also has but for me, he is getting on this on short notice so for me I think Bobby Green's experience and unexpected movement might get this done and for sure his takedown defense is great, so I will be going into the veteran that is Bobby Green,

Rob Font VS Deiveson Figueiredo

The odds for this fight are 1.79 for Font and 2.12 for Figueiredo, In this fight, Deiveson Figueiredo is coming up the Bantamweight and this is a hard fight for Figueiredo, for me, Rob Font has the better boxing strikes, and his output and pace even though Font doesn't have the power in his strikes that long reach for sure and even though Deiveson Figueiredo has better wrestling for me he will not be very successful as Sandhagen did, because of the size difference, but for me, Rob Font has great takedown defense and that is why my pick is Rob Font,
