Why? I'm Curious,

Well regarding Jose Aldo back when he was champion he was doing incredibly tremendous and had excellent striking back then but when he fought Conor McGregor everything went down, Conor McGregor's taunting really worked against Aldo not Physically but Psychologically attacking Aldo, and McGegor really got into Aldo's Core, for me the combination of Jose Aldo's kicks and striking was pretty much superb and right now it is what most fighters in the latest UFC now,

They have seen an instant opportunity when fighting in boxing, those Pay per view payments and for me I see an MMA fighter fighting  in boxing was all about money,


Conor McGregor's antics and taunting really have gotten to Jose Aldo he mostly losses his focus on the fight, because he was really furious about McGregor and he really wanted to beat him, his emotions were out there ready to hit McGregor but Conor McGregor were pretty much ready that time, but for me, I am sure when they got a rematch Jose Aldo will be ready a win for sure,

^  Not much to remember when you watch the match itself but it's one of the most iconic fights in McGregor's career imho.  He did the impossible by winning against the great Aldo in his prime.  And not only that, he did it in 30 secs.  It was brilliant as McGregor set it up during the build up going to the event.  He knew all his antics would eventually get to Aldo and he had the perfect move for it and he did it.  Aldo was tense, let it all of it go and McGregor was ready.  Such a brilliant move.

It was a page off Ali's play book.

But seeing what we saw, it's pretty obvious that Aldo prolly would win in a rematch.  Dunno or maybe McGregor lost something on the way, never to get it back.

LOL. The fights between Conor and Aldo is not much to remember. It last less than 30 second and ended after single punch. Not the best example to remember Aldo for It is better to remember when Aldo was a champ and defended his title. When he was chopping people with low kick like scythe cuts crops.

In addition to my notice. UFC fighters look at boxing after retirement from MMA, rather than fighters from other promotion. Like Bellator, One, PFL or KFC (that is how I call KSW ). Why?

I can not blame them aswell, people have a different perspective on this that Jake Paul should fight a professional boxer instead of fighting retired MMA fighters, the misconception of Jake Paul is not really a legit boxer is still there so fighting a boxer would just maul him down so for the fight to be fair he would get an MMA fighter not just an MMA fighter but a retired old MMA fighter to his advantage and people are saying he should fighter YouTubers aswell than gnashing his teeth with some MMA fighter because of this I was to see a KSI VS Jake Paul fight, or Salt Papi VS Jake Paul fight, that will be a great fight to watch,


The Problem is Jose Aldo is not in his prime anymore he would just lose to younger fighters inside the ring, but the legacy that Jose Aldo leave in the scene of the UFC or MMA world really has a great impact, seeing the fight of Marlon "Chito" Vera when he fought Jose Aldo it becomes a life-changing experience for him, he now is using the style of Aldo in his fights, not all because he is mixing it with his own style but that lost from Aldo has become an inspiration for him instead of a downfall, Pedro Munhoz also has that tendency of copying some of Aldo's technique that boxing style of Aldo is one of the best and effective in the industry he is one of the great strikers in the UFC, no I think he is on the top, even though he is not in the UFC anymore you can look at those fighters can you would notice some shards of Jose Aldo in them,

Did anyone check crazy odds bookmakers have on upcoming Bellator 290 fight Ryan Bader vs Fedor Emelianenko?
Bader is huge favorite and this fight is now available for betting on Sportbset and Stake website, I can't find it on Betnomi.
With this odds I must take a shot on Fedor to win in his last MMA fight, and with boosted odds Sportsbet have highest odds at the moment.
I know Bader is few years younger and that he won first fight in 2019, but I won't bet on him with this silly odds.

I really like the fighting style of Jose Aldo, I still remember those fights against Conor and some other great fighters, and for sure he will be a great element in boxing, I can't wait to bet on him again.

As you mention they always have the option to live from coaching, or become a trainer, but that's not enough money for someone who already gets paid as a UFC champ. So, I'm sure money is the motivation behind that decision.

It feels bad seeing legends getting mauled by younger fighters that they should've beaten during their primes. And it's the same when stars from other sports like the UFC cross over just to get exploited and destroyed for money. I cannot blame them though especially if the amounts offered are life-changing to them. They would rather take a punch from Jake Paul and get shamed for millions.

Imagine Jon Jones' rematch with Cormier with a PPV buys of 800k. His guaranteed purse of $500k ballooned to around $2m. But that PPV buys figure in boxing at that same time would've guaranteed an easy minimum of $20m payouts for all the fighters in the event. It's funny when some people tried to defend UFC contracts and purse sharing, especially its stars.

Right now PFL is having another event

PFL Challenger Series 2023: Week 2

MAIN EVENT

CO-MAIN EVENT

Jeslen Mishelle VS Evelyn Martins

MAIN CARD

Karolina Sobek VS Senna van der Veerdonk

Michelle Montague VS Shaquita Amador Woods

All information was on TAPOLOGY

This also explains why Jake Paul always wanted to fight UFC fighters that are already retired or those who are not getting enough money when they fight, he offered them some huge cash and they took the bait because they haven't got enough money when they were in the UFC. that's a big opportunity for him and now we already know one of the reasons why they fight him despite them being one of the legends in the UFC.

On the other hand, boxing gives them most of their rights and they really wanted to switch professions because after all is their body and they are the one who needs to fully earn from it, not just some individual who owns the company like the UFC.

I have noticed a lot of fighters try themselves in boxing. Maybe there was something in Ngannou words, when he talked about slavery UFC contract. Otherwise I cant explain why fighters, when they finish their career, instead of retire, they switch to boxing or bare knuckle fights. They could have switched into coaching, or being hired training partners for younger and less experienced fighters, or open their own gym. Yet they being quite old for the sport, go boxing. Money is their motivator ?

Zambrano is an unknown boxer and he only lost on his professional career, Aldo should win considering he was a good puncher on UFC career, but I think it's too late for Aldo to start his boxing career since he's get older. I think he just want to make money in boxing including to cherry pick his opponent, going for exhibition fight isn't really a bad choice.

Well there's no any betting site list this event, maybe it's a small event, we need to check back the bookies 3 days before the fight will happen.

Now here are the results for the  quick pick on LFA 151 Delano VS Santos and it was a great wins,

José Delano VS Gabriel Santos ROUND 3 KO/TKO - LOST

It was a sure win for Gabriel Santos and I was wrong about Delano I thought that the most experienced fighter will win, but the new one will surely dominate the fight and win a Knockout, against Gabriel Santos, I lost the Main event but still got 4 correct picks,

Julia Polastri VS Brenda Gottig ROUND 1 SUBMISSION - WIN

Julia Polastri was really confident even though Gottig looks like she was going to win the beautiful Jose Delano has been very surprising to watch she has given Gottig a great job in capturing her back and delivering a sweet Arm Triangle Choke to Gottig,

Milson Castro VS Anderson Ferreira ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN

This is what happen when one fighter is not fighting technically while Anderson Ferreira was calculating every movement that's when he hit Castro with those devastating punches, it was a fast 4 min and 37 sec fight that only lasted 1 round,

Lucas Escobar VS Gabriel Souza Galindo ROUND 1 SUBMISSION - WIN

This was a great fight aswell for Gabriel Souza getting that submission choke fast on Lucas Escobar was really insane the fight was a sure fast fight, it just lasted 1 min in the 1st round,

Gabriela Fujimoto VS Laryssa Leila ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

This I really expected Gabriela Fujimoto is 1 badass chick and I have seen Laryssa Leila and how she fought but Majority of the fight Fujimoto was really on the edge, but congrats to both fighting kittens,

Ex MMA fighter and UFC champion Jose Aldo is getting ready for his first pro boxing fight in February!
Aldo is now 36 years old and he is going to face with Alberto Emmanuel Zambrano on February 10 in Rio de Janeiro.
Zambrano lost all his boxing matches and I think Aldo should win this easily, his MMA carrier was amazing and I think he still have some fuel in his tank for boxing.
Does anyone knows any crypto gambling website with this event?

That is going to be one awesome fight I think Francis Ngannou wants to try boxing just once and will surely get back again to MMA and this is what Dana White doesn't want to happen but still, Conor McGregor made big money when he tried boxing with Former boxer Floyd Mayweather when they fought an exhibition match, and Francis Ngannou doesn't get the same treatment, but now that he is free and can do whatever he wants he can fight whoever he wants, and this Tyson Fury fight will be a big money fight for me just showing up, even though if he loses that fight he can still get a pretty decent amount of money,

The PFL had a great Challenger Series and this is only week 1 with the Welterweights I thought that Lucas Barbosa could win he lost to Itso Babulaidze in a decision match well technically 3 fights ended in a decision this week and the 1st fight was a 2nd win submission for Kendly St. Louis, against Nick Alley,

---

Now here are my picks for today's fight on LFA 151: Delano vs. Santos event, highlighted in green are my pick,

José Delano VS Gabriel Santos

Julia Polastri VS Brenda Gottig

Milson Castro VS Anderson Ferreira

Lucas Escobar VS Gabriel Souza Galindo

Gabriela Fujimoto VS Laryssa Leila

^  Yeah I know.  He should have retired years ago Lol.  But I'm still rooting for Fedor.  I would just love to see him win one more time in the cage.  And winning then retiring with a belt on his waist would be really great for all his fans and the fans of MMA.

The lines you this match is 1.57 for Bader and 2.25 for Fedor.  I don't trust Bader at 1.57 but there's not much value for Fedor at 2.25 either.  :/  Still waiting for where the books place the over or the under.  I'm thinking around 2.5 even it's a 5 rounder which could go over.

I have read that this is going to be his last fight (finally...). So he is going to go all-in. It would look nice if he would in in this rematch and finish his career, for a second that lasts for 22 years already, with a  win. Imho, Fedor is not going to win this fight. To old for that. 46. Bader is also not a teenager, but Fedor is in this business for to long already.

Elben vs Tokos is also something should not be missed. Undefeated champ vs guy that is hard to KO

I would never call them B leagues, Ngannou will fight in one of this 'B' competitions, and legendary Fedor Emelianenko never was in UFC, he was never B league fighter.
It's still early to talk about Bealltor 290 Bader vs Emelianenko that is starting next week, and anything can happen in this time.
Only Dana Cocaine White would say something like B league.

Good video to watch from Francis Ngannou: Why I left the UFC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmqzaK51NGQ

Since there's not gonna be a UFC event this weekend and the one for the week after isn't really that good.  So it's good that we have a decent event from the B leagues.  

https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/95280-bellator-290-bader-vs-emelianenko-2

It's Bellator 290 folks and main event is gonna be Bader vs Fedor for all the marbles...  Co main event will be Elben vs Tokov.  I can't really say I know who these guys really are except that I'm very excited to see Eblen back in the cage after he won vs Mousasi.

And who isn't excited to watch Fedor.  It's a must watch. 

Dont think that Conor will ever go bankrupt now. People will always be ready to pay him money just for the name. He is like a brand now. I think his aggression will over when he retires. He is 34. I think he will lose his next fight whoever is the opponent. Since Khabib, he did not win any decent opponent. I dont count Cerrone a decent opponent btw. One fight, one lose and he is done. With end of career, intense training, cut on supplements, uncontrolled aggression will end (I hope). Imho he will focus on his family more. 3 kids, that is a lot.
