Great fights all the way around for the last Fight Night in the UFC we will see for the rest of the year.
Had a 5 bout acca that cashed in last night so it was a good night for bets at Las China after all!

Next event is UFC 296 and for many including myself see alot of fire fights happening on the last Main Event of the year for the UFC happening next weekend!

It should have been in China but yes there were some changes with the location and venue so it was now on Apex it was a good fight for Yadong actually even if the fight was on the Apex or in China for sure Song Yadong could surely won this, now here is the results of my picks and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Gutierrez

Yadong Song (1.28) VS Chris Gutierrez (3.75) - LOST


This fight doesn't have any controversies at all but Chris Gutierrez might be asking if he can beat Yadong, as he was not 100% prepared for this fight Song Yadong was great with his striking and very dominant with the scramble on the ground he was controlling Chris Gutierrez, and Gutierrez also complaints a lot in this fight and that half-hearted Imanari roll and got nowhere near Song Yadong that surely even the Legendary Masakazu Imanari will be ashamed of, most of Yadong's takedowns was a success and he surely controls the top he is pretty much good at Scrambling for sure and so it was a decision win for Yadong,

Anthony Smith (2.65) VS Khalil Rountree Jr. (1.49) - LOST


For sure this is the time for Anthony Smith to retire after this fight I was wrong in betting for Anthony Smith and Khalil Rountree Jr. looks amazing with that Left hook power and Anthony Smith wobbles so hard that he was like in the Loony Toons, for sure Anthony Smith needs to retire now and Rountree Jr. has come to this fight on short notice so for sure that was a great fight for him, and now he wants to fight Alex Pereira next,

Nasrat Haqparast (1.50) VS Jamie Mullarkey (2.60) - WIN


Nasrat Haqparast was really focused and that accuracy that landed on Mullarkey and took him down like that was really something the barrage of punches from him sure damaged Mullarkjey for sure and you can see when Jamie Mullarkey was still standing he gave him another big strike that knocks out Mullarkey for good that the ref has to stop the fight,

[YuginKadoya]

Results for my bets and predictions for UFC Fight Night 233

Yadong Song VS Chris Gutierrez ROUND 5 DECISION - WIN

Song Yadong was great he was in control of the fight from start to finish although Chris Gutierrez accidentally poked him in the eye even though he was poked in the eye Song Yadong still is dominant throughout the entire fight in Striking and even on the ground Yadong was controlling the fight from start to finish for sure his wrestling game increased so much is readying it in his fight against Petr Yan, for sure that is his main goal, and he even said it in his octagon interview that he wants Petr Yan next,

Anthony Smith VS Khalil Rountree Jr. ROUND 3 KO/TKO - WIN

Khalil Rountree Jr. was so much better than Anthony Smith and for sure Rountree Jr. was really reserved in this fight there were so many strikes for Rountree in this fight and for sure in the striking Khalil Rountree Jr. is so much faster and for sure has power in his strikes, but for sure it was showcase late in the 3rd round, but Anthony Smith try to takedown Rountree 2 times but it was not successful because Rountree is good at takedown defense, and so it was a lost for Anthony Smith and Siriously I think Anthony Smith needs to retire after this fight,

Tatsuro Taira VS Carlos Hernandez ROUND 2 KO/TKO - WIN

It was a dominant performance for Tatsuro Taira it was really a great fight from the Striking even with the ground game just like I expected and what I have said Taira is pretty much dominant and he is still undefeated in this fight, it was clear that Taturo Taira is special aswell and from his last fight I can see that his striking has also improve and controlling his opponent not only in the ground but also in the stand-up,

[rdbase]

The biggest and baddest fight card is left to til the very end to cap off the year at UFC 296!
The promotional video for the official countdown just came out last night and well worth a watch if you haven't ever seen a UFC main event the entire year.
This one is worth a view and you might as well witness how great a UFC can be with the final one of the year!

UFC 296 Countdown | FULL EPISODE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqdG2xqdqk

A bit of controversy ahead of this fight with Covington's affiliation with the Orange Man who was the first UFC champion to meet a US president in the history of the sport. So call it what you may, it is an accomplish for him and nobody can take going to the White House away from this guy.

[YuginKadoya]

^ ^

For sure Colby Covington is a very outspoken Donald Trump supporter and after winning the Interim UFC Welterweight Championship, he stated that he wanted to go to the white house to visit Trump and to present him with the title and he did, Donald Trump called him to go into the white house on August 2, 2018 following his win over Tyron Woodley, and that is how he gets the support of Donald Trump, for sure this is a big win for the UFC and that is why you can see that sometimes Donald Trump is watching and going into the main event of the UFC, as for sure it was all thanks to Colby Covington,

For now, we are approaching the new event for the UFC 296 it will be a juicy event for sure and I am so excited about it, the fight that many want to see is Leon Edwards vs Colby Covington, Alexandre Pantoja vs Brandon Royval, Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Stephen Thompson, Tony Ferguson vs Paddy Pimblett, Vicente Luque vs Ian Machado Garry, and Josh Emmett vs Bryce Mitchell I think this is the fights that many are looking forward in seeing,

Leon Edwards vs Colby Covington - for sure this fight is for the title match and Leon Edwards has come a long way and getting this belt while Colby Covington wants the belt so badly and wants the belt to return to America,

Alexandre Pantoja vs Brandon Royval - after seeing Alexandre Pantoja's status and records that was really enough for me to see how good this fighter is while his opponent this is their rematch for sure,

Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Stephen Thompson - now for sure I really think this is going to be a one-sided match as many know that Shavkat Rakhmonov is a beast while we all know we are questioning Stephen Thompson why he accepted this fight for sure,

Tony Ferguson vs Paddy Pimblett - Now this is really Tony Ferguson's chance to prove himself that he can still do it, while Paddy Pimblett wants this fight and for sure he wants his ranking to improve and if Tony Ferguson lost this he should retire,

[owengtam09]

We have a new event this coming weekend and for sure it is going to be another Banger this event is Juicy

[danherbias07]

Chaos versus Rocky.
This will absolutely be a fun night in UFC 296.
Here is the countdown.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqdG2xqdqk


My instincts tell me I have to bet for Leon Edwards but Covington as a former Interim Welterweight champion is so hungry that he will do everything to win the belt being held by Edwards. It is hot. Trash-talking is up and threats are high. 
Here are the odds for the upcoming fights.
Edwards, Leon @1.65
Covington, Colby @2.36
It's not that bad if you win betting for Edwards so I am thinking about sticking with him and maybe getting the headshot kick.

Other fight cards are also not to be missed.
Pantoja, Alexandre @1.56
Royval, Brandon @2.60

Thompson, Stephen @5.40
Rakhmonov, Shavkat @1.18

Damn, this fight card is filled with fighters where we will probably see KO's and submission.

[rdbase]

Truth told there @danherbias07 for certain we have been waiting for chaos to erupt in the octagon and this was the matchup to make for sure!

Remember that unforgettable quote from the first Usman fight which you referred to with the headshot leg kick that knocked down the Nigerian?
"Don't let him bully you son, don't let him bully you son!"
That was from Leon's coach when he was getting off the stool during one of the rounds from their encounter.

That was the saying for a long while and just rewatched that fight and now remember how great that last round KO from Edwards was.

Massive amount of prospective fighters in this UFC weekend's fight and surely the one to not miss for the last main event of the year!

Can't wait until the press conference as you know Colby will have a hot mic and everything is bound to happen!

Actually, Leon Edwards is more convincing in winning this fight than Covington but you are right in saying that Colby Covington is more hungry than Edwards so yeah Leon Edwards can not let that and underestimate Covington, because that will not be good for him if he let that happen, and that trashy talking of his can surely get into the head of some fighters, but Colby Covington will do everything he can to win this fight as Donald Trump will surely watch this live,

Alexandre Pantoja intrigues me a lot but he has those records for nothing and at 1st you can not see how he managed to get into Brandon Moreno but for this fight maybe Brandon Royval will need to take this to another level,

While Shavkat Rakmonov was really a monster I don't know why Stephen Thompson accepts this one, but it is also intriguing to see what Stephen Thompson can do against Shavkat Rakmonov, well yes he looks like a beast but he is still human and can be defeated, for me at least that could be a great mindset for the meantime,


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7vJKQHMQBg

Seeing this video of Joe Rogan I was really sad looking at the Tony Ferguson movement really changes over the years for sure his body can not keep up now with what his brain wants him to do, and it is just so sad that Paddy the Baddy will just crush him inside the ring and if you look back on the recent fights of Khalil Rountree Jr. versus Anthony Smith you can say it was like a different thing as Smith is just 35 years old while Ferguson is at 39 now, but Anthony Smith is now a different fighter and for sure he needs to think about this he is nearing retirement,

[rdbase]

UFC 296 is starting off to be the biggest event of the year in MMA that I think they have kicked it up a notch for the sole purpose of making everyone forget about PFL. Aswell now they have Bellator and it's fighters under the same umbrella.

Indeed people are very hyped for edwards vs covington and i saw some comments about possibly fight to not go the distance @ 2.33 being a good play.

Regarding Rakhmonov



He has 4 submission finishes so far out of his 5 UFC fights.
Him to win again by submission is 2.05 odds which i dont think is worth the short odds, him winning by KO/TKO @ 3.85 might be a better play odds wise.

Other then this , Paddy vs tony will probably be the most entertaining fight as expected. 1.63 odds for not going to distance is a pretty nice play as well IMO

[rdbase]

@rohang
I like that prediction and will place it in an acca for this event!

There was an announcement yesterday that Garry would not be fighting in his match and Belal might be fighting Luque instead. Since he was the backup fighter in the first place. There was some talk I listened to while watching some update videos and according to the sources there might be some reshuffling of the contenders during the course before the fights happen.
So who knows what at this point.

UFC Pre-fight press conference might shed some more light on what is happening now.
In the next 11 hours from now:

UFC 296: Pre-Fight Press Conference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdOQKkjoBDM

So it should be an interesting one too and watch.
Did anybody else notice the jacket that Convington had on during the media day yesterday had a picture of Trump on the back of it? Realized it after watching the interview on TNT Sports when he showed what was on the back. Hahah!

Tony Ferguson just took up the mic and talking about his fight against Paddy the baddy Pimblett.

Tony Ferguson is talking crazy and sure when he sits down he looks extremely energetic but there is something in him that makes the place intense for sure, and looking at him quite really intense just by looking at him, and for sure he said that he doesn't care about anybody, and he isn't spitting anything about his training and what he does in the past thing he does with his training, but for sure because of David Goggins he was more positive for sure and in this interview, he has shown it, and enjoying this just like he has said,

For sure that was a real consistency for Shavkat Rakmanov he was really a perfectionist in his art and that KO win could also be a Submission win but for sure there is a pattern in what he does so if the pattern was right KO/TKO would be the right choice but if he doesn't care about the pattern for sure it could also go with the Submission, for sure that was a great observation and a real treat in getting into betting with this,

There was an announcement yesterday that Garry would not be fighting in his match and Belal might be fighting Luque instead. Since he was the backup fighter in the first place. There was some talk I listened to while watching some update videos and according to the sources there might be some reshuffling of the contenders during the course before the fights happen.
So who knows what at this point.

I also have seen the news that  Ian Machado Garry is pulling out because of Illness, but I haven't seen that Belal Muhhamad will be the backup fighter for this fight, but for sure if that was real then Vicente Luque deserves a fight and pretty much needed a fight because he has prepared a lot for this fight against Machado Garry and he is just not making the fight and missing the fight for sure, so for sure give him Belal Muhammad on this one,

[danherbias07]

Leon Edwards versus Colby Covington: Trash talks in the press conference and trash talks in the face-off. It's hot. They are ready to bash each other's head. Colby was always the one sparking up the trash talks, it seems like he ain't running out of words to say against Leon.

Undercards are mostly peaceful, they shook hands and some even hugged. But we will see once their feet are on the octagon.
Brandon Royval looks confident too but there are no changes in the odds. He is still the underdog at 2.60.

The most anticipated fighter this event I want to see is this absolute monster:
Shavkat Rakhmonov Every UFC Finish

Oh yeah. That guy is the most hyped on that card. He is just too strong and multi-talented. Strong puncher, his kick style is great with precision, he can submit in different positions, tough chin, and his takedown defense is high, we might see a Knockout here or a submission. A bright future is ahead of him and maybe after this fight, Dana white could put him in the main even against a higher-ranking fighter. I mean, fans love Rakhmonov so I bet he will make money for him.

[rdbase]

This card is pure fire so far even if the pre-fight presser was just Colby trying to get into the heads of everybody on the panel.
The guy even attacked Wonderboy who already knew what he was trying to do but just shrugged it off and let him do his thing. Quality man to not fire back because as everybody up there knew going in, Colby Covington is a bully.
So all Leon has to do is exactly what his coach said during the Usman fight:
"Don't let him bully you son!"

We'll see how the weigh-ins goes for all fighters and hopefully no more drama so we can get to the fights without any loss casualties again as what happened to Ian Garry with the no-show.

[YuginKadoya]

Tony Ferguson is talking crazy and sure when he sits down he looks extremely energetic but there is something in him that makes the place intense for sure, and looking at him quite really intense just by looking at him, and for sure he said that he doesn't care about anybody, and he isn't spitting anything about his training and what he does in the past thing he does with his training, but for sure because of David Goggins he was more positive for sure and in this interview, he has shown it, and enjoying this just like he has said,

I can not see any intense something about Tony Ferguson at all but if you are talking about the tattoos on his back maybe that was the 1 that might have looked intense in my opinion anyway I really wish Tony Ferguson would win this and that David Goggins could help him both Physically and Mentally and because Paddy Pimblett is already exposed I sure think that he has a chance but he can not underestimate the baddy for sure,

I mean, fans love Rakhmonov so I bet he will make money for him.

I feel sorry for Leon Edwards while talking he just stopped talking when Colby Covington punched him the reality is that he can not win over trash talk with Covington, but for sure Colby Covington is trash-talking different fighters, Ian Machado Garry, Kamaru Usman, and even Steven Thompson and I surely love how The Wonderboy takes the Pedo Trash Talking of Colby, but for sure Tony Ferguson was the most hype in this press conference he is a Legend in this and the man I really love him to win this, and for sure if he clobber Paddy Pimblett in this fight all of the people in the arena will surely shout and chant his name that is what I am seeing happening in that event,

This card is pure fire so far even if the pre-fight presser was just Colby trying to get into the heads of everybody on the panel.

It was funny how Colby Covington and Tony Ferguson exchanged in that press Conference and how they agreed in the end, well, surely this is going to be a big fight for sure and there is some point in the Conference that Colby Covington and Leon Edwards nearly get a fight in the press conference that is for sure, I am now looking at each fighters previous fights and looking if Tony Ferguson got some chance against Pimblett because I really want him to win this,

[rdbase]

Yeah too right @YuginKadoya !

They had a UFC 2024 Season Press Conference right before the ceremonial one for this UFC 296 event earlier in the evening last night.
It showed several fighters on the panel facing off against their opponents towards upcoming main event fight cards for the 2024 season:

I can not see any intense something about Tony Ferguson at all but if you are talking about the tattoos on his back maybe that was the 1 that might have looked intense in my opinion anyway I really wish Tony Ferguson would win this and that David Goggins could help him both Physically and Mentally and because Paddy Pimblett is already exposed I sure think that he has a chance but he can not underestimate the baddy for sure,

Maybe I am seeing an intense aura something on Tony Ferguson but anyway, this kind of Tony Ferguson even though in his old age there is still some intimidation towards him and for me, Ferguson is just like that but I agree that Ferguson can not underestimate Pimblett even though he was exposed back on his fight with Jared Gordon maybe Tony Ferguson may have a chance but still I am not taking a chance for betting on this fight,

Actually, Colby Covington's comments on Leon Edward's father were really another level down, and looking at him he is remorseless in what he has said about it I really think he has already gone down that path where he doesn't care at all just to make a trash talk, but here is some MMA fighters tweets and what they think about Colby Covington,

Yeah too right @YuginKadoya !

Yup! It is one weird Press Conference and for sure it is to hype the fight even more, I think that the UFC is one juicy event to seeing
the UFC 297 Sean Strickland VS Dricus du Plessis, UFC 298 Alexander Volkanovski VS Ilia Topuria, and UFC 299 Sean O'Malley VS Marlon Vera, for the future fights for the UFC, was a great juicy fight that the UFC has brought us up to March 09, 2024 and after seeing this I get excitements getting into my spine so for sure many fans could feel the same way just like I did,

[rohang]

Still love the Rahkmanov by KO/TKO play, both fighters tend towards submission so he should prefer to stand and trade blows

I have seen this Press Conference for the future fight on the UFC sure that will be a banger of an event, this is really a great event to witness, but this is a great fight for sure now here is my bet and prediction for the UFC 296: Edwards vs. Covington,

Leon Edwards VS Colby Covington

The stake odds for this fight are 1.65 for Edwards and 2.42 for Covington, in my opinion, Leon Edwards has good striking and his striking is very technical that I think he will surprise Colby Covington for sure, but Colby Covington will be aggressive on the ground and when he does Leon Edwards will be OK with his takedown defense and that is what he came prepare against Kamaru Usman his takedown defense will be solid n those situations, so my pick is Leon Edwards,

Shavkat Rakhmonov VS Stephen Thompson

The stake odds for this fight are 1.17 for Rakhmonov and 6.00 for Thompson, for this fight, there is no doubt that Shavkat Rakhmonov will be the favorite to win as Rakhmonov is pretty much dominant with the striking he has the power and the accuracy in this fight and so he will be very good on the stand-up, and mostly his ground game will be so much good aswell, while Stephen Thompson will be pretty much not having a chance here, let say he just accepted this fight because of the money so my pick is nonother but Shavkat Rakhmonov,

Tony Ferguson VS Paddy Pimblett

The stake odds for this fight are 3.60 for Ferguson and 1.35 for Pimblett, now this is a risk and a gambling bet for me, as Tony Ferguson is now in his old form even though he has good striking and has some advantage on the ground as many have thought he will be good against Khabib Nurmagomedov, as many people belive I also think that he can also be great against Paddy Pimblett, now in this case I am really biased here because I don't like Paddy Pimblett at all he also go beyond down the lever of not treating anybody good, so my pick is Tony Ferguson,

[owengtam09]

My Picks and Prediction for the UFC 296: Edwards vs. Covington

Leon Edwards (1.61) VS Colby Covington (2.33)


Going for this fight Leon Edwards has the technical aspect of striking while for me Colby Covington's Striking is not that great in terms of the wresting game Colby Covington is superb in this game but for me, Leon Edwards can counter with his takedown defense as for sure he has already prepared on this back when he fights Kamaru Usman, and on their 1st fight he is good at getting Usman in the scramble so for sure his wrestling has also improved so for me Leon Edwards is very well-rounded so for sure my pick is Leon Edwards,

Alexandre Pantoja (1.49) VS Brandon Royval (2.65)


This fight, is also their rematch and a title shot for Royval, for this fight, Alexandre is pretty much good with the wrestling game, and for sure his grappling is also what he has beating Brandon Moreno, so with that in mind, Pantoja has a bigger chance, while I don't know if Brandon Royval has improved much during back then when they fight but for sure Alexandre Pantoja is a stud in this fight so my pick is Alexandre Pantoja

Stephen Thompson (5.40)VS Shavkat Rakhmonov (1.15)


For this one, Stephen Thompson has great striking, and for sure he has prepared his standing defense for this fight, as he also got a decent one, apparently Shavkat Rakhmonov is pretty much well-rounded in my opinion, he surely got the option of choosing how he could defeat Thompson whether it is on strike because he got power or submitting Stephen Thompson on this fight so my pick is Shavkat Rakhmonov,
