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

@bbc.reporter
That must be a very old picture of her because that doesn't look like her anymore.
Atleast from the neck up since she has a jawline now.

Was just watching the UFC 300 Embedded series last night and noticed just how big she looked standing next to her coach.

It is an edited picture to make her jawline appear to be more feminine for our eyes hehehe. On her real jawline being more man than woman, this might be the from her usage of anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids are fake testosterone injected in the body to increase muscles and performance in sports. This also causes the body to appear more manly for women. I will not be shocked if a doctor witnesses her clitoris beginning to form like a very small penis.



What are Steroids? Anabolic steroids are synthetically produced variants of the naturally occurring male hormone testosterone that are abused in an attempt to promote muscle growth, enhance athletic or other physical performance, and improve physical appearance.

Dana White at the press conference for UFC 300 just responded to a reporter’s request to raise the bonus for fighter of the night by saying OK and asking what to raise it to. After some suggestions he finally said 300! The fighters have to be pumped about that. It’s a 6x increase from the normal bonus. Hope we see something spectacular.

Some were speculating that it would be maxed out to $200k for each bonus paid out to all fighters.
He did say "DONE!" after each question about payout to each fighter so they actually will want to knock their opponents out to get that fighter bonus and even to be eligible for fight of the night.
Yeah, it did seem to planned because he calculated it right on the fly to the total sum he would be paying out in bonuses to all fighters which seemed there will be 4 if my math was correct.

@bbc.reporter
But the fighters who are in UFC prefer to call it HGH.
https://healthgains.com/hormone-therapy/hgh-growth-hormone-therapy/is-hgh-a-steroid

Guess that's why they parted ways with USADA. Brought in their own drug testing organization.
Because Conor looked to be on the same stuff as Paulo Costa.
What does he call it again?

Renato Money Mocano said in his interview during media day about these bonuses for UFC 300:
Renato Moicano Calls Out Dana White For UFC 300 Finish Bonuses | MMA Fighting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RJsOm48dcY

He was also asked in another podcast about Harrison and mentioned he wrestled with her for fun a couple of years ago and he mentions she was the strongest woman he had matched up with during a sparring session.
So that right there tells you she is some sort of substance to enhance her strength and that shows in her physique.

Weigh-ins going to be start really early today so get ready boys and girls:

Thats pretty cool, huge payday for the fighters who put up a show, does this mean fewer fights go the distance ? If i heard it before would have tracked how books adjusted the rounds total and GTD odd swings 

And I think its about time he started raising the general pay scales too,to stop fighters like ngannou leaving

300 it's done!

Stop asking me questions!!!

Alex Pereira seems to be not happy about it. Why so serious?!!  Oh! sorry! Translator, please!

Weigh in, in 4 hours. It gets more exciting.
What Jamahal Hill did by asking for autographs seems to have received a lot of attention. It's part of the UFC 300 embedded series part 4.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDZNcVYzIBE
Jump to 6:20.
What's wrong with that? There's a complete video of it when Hill said he is a big fan of Pereira although they are going to fight. (I cannot find the link.)
IMO, it's a sign of respect.

I would think the opposite would result in adding this increase in payscale for the bonuses. They are determined based on performance and fighters are thinking inorder to get that out do the other and what more than by a stoppage of a bout done by knockout would prove that to Dana White?
I don't know but that would do it for me unless it by bodyslam just like Cody Brundage did to his last opponent.

Everybody thought there was going to be an announcement of what will happen to Conor, during the pre-fight press conference ahead of UFC 300.Just so to clean the air about where he stands. But there was nothing.
Ahead of this over on DraftKings chat there was a leak date of July 28th for his return to the octagon against Chandler. Of course just like Dana White said during this presser, "Don't believe everything on the internet!".

@danherbias07
There was alot of interviews with this guy so it could of been on anyone of them as well.
He seems to be talking himself into this trance but repeating the samething over and over again.
The same thing he was doing during the press conference and the weigh-in face-offs.
Doesn't mean that it will come true.
But today we will see if he will be the one having sweet dreams or will be slept by Poatan.
As Pereira always says after every encounter: "Chama" which I thought meant Let's go!
But it actually means 'flame' or 'Inspiration' in Portuguese.

[danherbias07]

And it's over!


Alex Pereira defended his title with a big punch to the face of Jamahal Hill. Damn, he is strong. I am expecting the fight to last until 3rd or 4th round but that was just too fast. Now he is a real champion and the big question will be, who can defeat that guy?

Weili Zhang also defended her title. Yan showed some hopes that she could try and win but it ain't enough. Her take-down defense was weak.

The BMF title match was also amazing.

That's the real definition of a freaking "BMF". He is winning! Max Holloway could've just taken his time and let the buzzer sound but he fought a brawl against Gaethje in the last 10 seconds of the fight until the end risking his win. That's the real BMF!!! That may be one of the greatest knockdowns that I saw in UFC. He perfectly landed the punch.
Damn! I love that fight. Give it to Gaethje too, he is a monster for receiving all those punches and still recovering a lot of times.

[Pumared]

Thank you for sharing that Sir. That was a good one.

Here are my picks for UFC 300. I will never miss this one and I will probably watch everything as it is packed with great battles. Heck! Even the preliminaries are decent and the former Bantamweight champion is there, Aljamain Sterling.

Main Event
Pereira, Alex - Hill, Jamahal - Hill, Jamahal @2.15
Co-main Event
Zhang, Weili - Yan, Xiaonan - Zhang, Weili @1.22
Main Card
Gaethje, Justin - Holloway, Max - Gaethje, Justin @1.62
Oliveira, Charles - Tsarukyan, Arman - Tsarukyan, Arman @1.47
Prelim
Prochazka, Jiri - Rakic, Aleksandar - Prochazka, Jiri @2.03
Kattar, Calvin - Sterling, Aljamain - Sterling, Aljamain @1.61

That's it for now. I am also thinking about making a parlay.
Good luck everyone and enjoy the fights.

I'm suspicious to say, but I believe in all the bets you made. However, I believe that Charles and Pereira will win. The rest I don't change anything. In my opinion, Charles is trying to get back to the top and is demanding a lot and Pereira is proving to be the best in the category, defeating everyone and everything.

Yeah, I ended up being Charles. However, Pereira was something spectacular. A quick fight with no chances for Jamal. In addition to being teased while he was unconscious on the floor. It was something incredible.

[rdbase]

Wow! Still trying to process what occurred in the fights last night.
It did live up to being an amazing fight card from start to finish and with the announcement every fight fan has been waiting for:

The MAC is BACK! 🇮🇪 | Conor McGregor Career Marathon | UFC 303
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMjJNQrGz_Y

The first shock of the night was how Jalin Turner did a walk off KO but didn't know the fight was still going on because the referee didn't stop it.
He walked away from the potential first $300k bonus with that vital error on his part as Renato explains in his post fight interview:
Renato Moicano On Jailin Turner’s Walk-Off KO: 'Joke's On Him' | UFC 300 | MMA Fighting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ixMDARYss

Dana White tells that fight of the night was the BMF fight and both Max Holloway gets the $600k (of course divided out from the $300k x 4 bonuses proposed during the pre-fight press conference equaling out to $1.2 million paid out - Holloway taking $600k for the performance of the night & fight of the night while Prochazka received his from the prelims as per discussed during the press conference https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-dana-white-confirms-big-change-in-ufc-300-bonus-for-max-holloway-after-justin-gaethjes-devastating-ko ) . While the other fighters such as Kayla Harrison and Diego Lopes will get made whole from his post fight press conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ixMDARYss
Where he is given a piece of paper with the Conor McGregor fight date in June and announces it right there to applause finally we have the card and other fights on that same main card.

Wow! Still trying to process what occurred in the fights last night.

Alex Pereira is just to strong for everyone in this division, and he made it look so easy to win 
Prochazka vs Rakic was another great fight, Rakic was better for most of the fight with leg kicks, but Prochazka pulled the ace in second round and won.
I think we can see Prochazka vs Pereira next, but if you ask me I think Pereira wins every time, Prochazka has many holes in his game.
This was maybe one of the best fight cards I watched in 2024.

At the end of the UFC 300, If I remember it right Joe, DC, and Jon were talking about Alex climbing another weight class and that will be big for him if ever he wins the title there. 3 different divisions, he managed to get all the titles. His camp might want to think about trying it.
That will be exciting, Jones versus Alex. Rawr!

Jiri was a heavy hitter and just one punch can make a big difference. He doesn't punch in volumes but his accuracy will surely make it land and Rakic was stunned when he received it.

How about the fight between Arman Tsarukyan versus Charles Oliviera? That was phenomenal too. Arman escaped a lot of Guillotine chokes that were done by Charles and I was amazed at how strong his willpower was to never tap out although it was obvious that the chokes done by Charles were all tight. Pretty amazing to see such a fighter who can manage to escape them but he was lucky that the last choke didn't have enough time because if it did, he could've lost that fight.

[Pumared]

I'm looking forward to McGregor's fight and Makhachev's. They could have fought at UFC 300, I don't understand why they didn't accept it, both of them. It would be epic. But, they need to keep up the good fights throughout the year.

They should have an epic card like this a lot more times a year

[rdbase]

Renato Moicano to me was the shocker of the night were Turner had him laid out but just turned away and with that a possible $300k in the bank. I had also won grabbing him @3.25x odds for my best win of the whole entire night which also helped!

As for anyone who kept up with how the bonus structure was going to work, Dana said the $300k bonuses were designated across the preliminary cards and the main card: One bonus per each.
Then obviously the last for the fight of the night.


Of course in Dana White fashion, changed it as was explained during the post-fight presser for anyone who watched it in it's entirety.

source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianmazique/2024/04/14/ufc-300-results-bonus-winners-after-historic-event/?sh=3b08ca7e6f1e

But it seems what Moicano has to say is getting all the attention as per his expressive post fight interviews in the octagon would seem to suggest.

https://twitter.com/sfliberty/status/1779338461255749648

Money Mociano also wants to get paid in BTC for his bonus which he wasn't getting the whole $300k as mentioned during the post-fight presser:

Congratulations on that win!

Moicano In Bitcoin! Nice! I listened to his interview and I think he is trying to make a point about not being paid totally. I don't understand what is that all about but I think he experienced something before where he was not paid after the fight. Or is it just about the bonus because the fight earlier than them will receive it instead of them? I was actually confused as I thought every winner would receive it, but it will be a lot of money so I think he should do consolation for the other fights.

Jalin Turner made a big mistake there. He was too arrogant and did not finish the fight correctly. I bet that will be a lesson learned for him and maybe for every fighter who is trying to use a walk-off win. You cannot just do that before the referee stops the fight.

[notblox1]

This are all well deserved bonuses from this fight card.
Prochazka bonus was for his amazing comeback, he was losing the fight but he went for all or nothing and won the bonus.
I saw later one video showing him training on treadmill with weights in his hands punching, this is very hard to perform.
I want to see rematch with Rakic, but he is going to ask for title fight first.

Thanks but it was only one of my many bets I had placed for the night which I don't usually put in singles for UFC but as you had mentioned in your post announcing UFC 300 was on with the challenge, this card was difficult to determine who was going to win their fights.
So you basically had to go with your guy instinct and stick to it til the fights start.
Well that is how I approached this card with all the high profile fighters that are heavy hitters.
My other big win on the night was Kayla Harrison and Alex Pereira and Diego Lopes.

For the bonuses they can be viewed from the UFC website as those are official as I am not spokesperson for Dana White and knows what is in his head at all times.
So as any responsible grown-up person would do - Fact check for yourself! Best advice anybody can give.
Because as daddy Dana has said "Don't believe everything you read on the internet KIDS!"
https://www.ufc.com/news/bonus-coverage-2024-performance-fight-of-the-night

Here is a clip of what I watched when he said how the bonuses for UFC 300 were going to be split up between the fighters based on their performances:

Dana White Releases SECRET BONUSES for 4 Additional UFC 300 Fighters
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lghnc4ULWrA
We can only go by what he has stated as what really it is unless you are witness in the room while they are being paid, who the hell knows really.
All that I know is that I had seen videos of how much each of the fighters on this UFC card makes for their salaries and that is straight from the fighters themselves and not from the CEO of the UFC telling the public what he wants you to know.
There is a difference unless you don't live in the real world and believing what your told as fact.
I reiterate, do your own fact checking nobody is going to spoon feed you here.

Arman Tsarukyan punched a guy on his walk-in.
Here is the footage that was taken.
https://x.com/FiteTV/status/1779488449965252818


And here is Dana White's answer about what happened.
UFC Fighter Punches Fan in crowd "We're Probably Gonna Get Sued"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhYoUlhRUjY
Jump to 0:50.

And here is the statement of Arman Tsarukyan.
https://bloodyelbow.com/2024/04/14/dana-white-responds-to-ufc-300-star-fighting-crowd-members-before-his-walk-in/

Tsarukyan himself was also questioned about the fan incident at the post-fight press conference, with the now 22-3 wrestler noting: “I’m from Russia, don’t do that please or I’m going to go to prison in the US.”

“He showed me that he wanted to f**** punch me, and I wanted to punch him back, that’s it. No one shows me ‘f*** you’ [like that] it doesn’t matter who you are, I’m going to punch you in the face.

Scary Arman.
I didn't know this happened until now. I rooted for Arman that night because I saw how good he was at escaping Oliviera's Guillotine choke but this is going to be a problem big time if they will be sued. If somehow it is proved that a punch didn't really happen then I think it's going to be okay though.
He said he wanted to punch him back but we didn't know if that landed.
Still, this should be looked out by UFC for disciplinary procedures.

https://x.com/FiteTV/status/1779488449965252818

He should not allow himself to react crazy like this, it doesnt matter what someone from crowd said or done to him.
I am surprised he was not already punished by UFC for doing this, and things are more complicated because he won by split decision against Oliveira.
And that guy from crowd is insane for trying to do this against any pro MMA fighter.

[rdbase]

Think this was discussed more during his recent interview with MMAFightingonSBN the Monday after the fight:
Arman Tsarukyan Explains Why He Passed Up Islam Makhachev Title Shot After UFC 300 | The MMA Hour
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXM2x2fcWzs

From what others who were there said the guy actually started running away so Arman's blow never really landed. Even if the fan sued you don't think the UFC has enough money to hire the best lawyer and if they wanted to counter sue him for anything they want to at that point? Disruption of the event for one of the main fighters on while walking up to the octagon?
Why should this be allowed in an sport? If nothing is done then fans will continue to think they can do this at any UFC event and there won't be any repercussions. So put a stop to it now before it gets out of hand where fans are straight out tackling fighters on their walk out before even getting into the octagon to start their fight.

Anyways, back to the fighters and their interviews after they had some days to rest and clear their heads from the biggest event in the UFC history books.
And since there is no fight night event this weekend let move on to that.

[danherbias07]

I agree. The fan may be too aggressive and it should not happen again. Dana White should take care of this so that it will be avoided next time. Or perhaps, they should widen that fighter's entrance but damn it will be a waste of space that could be intended for the fans who will buy those tickets.

Chael Sonnen: Alex Pereira can become MMA GOAT if he wins UFC heavyweight title
https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2024/04/ufc-news-chael-sonnen-alex-pereira-can-become-mma-goat

“I look at Alex Pereira. That’s an amateur; he has an amateur’s record,” Sonnen said on “The Fighter and The Kid” podcast. “He’s done it 12 times now. He’s only done it eight in the octagon but within those eight, he’s captured two world titles, and he’s beaten five world champions. And if I was to tell you that Alex Pereira – who’s never had a wrestling match, he’s never had a grappling match, he is not a black belt – is the greatest to have ever done it, you would roll your eyes.

I don't like Chael Sonnen but I will have to agree with this.
The same as what I said while he was still at middleweight after defeating the Stylebender Israel Adesanya, I think the light heavyweight is still not for him. He can still go up one more weight class and might still win the belt there. His punches are too strong and they say his fists are too big which is why it can create an impact like you are hit by a wood or a rock in the face.
I like the idea of him visiting the next weight class and trying it out. I don't think that he will lose something there, more of a gain and the fans would probably love to see that happen.

Really, Poatan is on his way to entering the UFC hall of fame while he is still active, very interesting indeed. But I believe he will be able to break all these records soon. I'm totally betting on this, just as I won betting on him before, I'll continue betting.
