Is it already announced who he will make next millionaire or make current even more rich? There are possible options - first, like said before, it is gonna be either Chandler, or another fight against Poirier (sort of a unfinished business). Second - he needs someone who he will definitely beat and make a loud return to UFC. In other words, he needs a win, someone who he will knockout.

McGregor fighting in April once he gets all the drugs out of his system. Finally. Will be interesting to see how this fight goes. I’m expecting it to not be a typical fight. It’s been so long, it is either going to go really well or really bad for Conor.

^  Ah yeah...  Pereira was scheduled to fight another guy but he pulled out so he's going to face Petroski on short notice.  Thanks for pointing it out.  Will edit the roster later.

As for 294 at the front page, they need to sell PPV's because Makhachev isn't really that popular among fans and he kinda has a boring personality.  Pretty good fighter tho.

And for this weekend's event, not a very good one but there are potentially good match ups in there.  Looking forward to watching the prospects Saaiman vs Rodriguez and the guys who want to break into the top 10 Martinez vs Yanez.  Next fight for the winner will be a tough one.

The event is so much filler between events, that UFC.com decided to put Makhachev vs Olivera 2 already on a front page
But, if we check ufc.com, we would see a Michel Pereira vs. Andre Petroski fight in middleweights (not in your list). This fight is in sherdog list also. Besides main event and Michel Pereira fight, I dont see anything that I would watch. Just old Barboza and Pereira with his jumps and capoeira show offs

Stipe Miocic is past his prime so this is just it for me this is surely his last fight inside the Octagon in my opinion but for sure he accepted this fight for the money that is just it and nothing more, for me I really want to see a different fight for Jon Jones and not Stipe Miocic, for sure the guy is at his house just relaxing, but Jon Jones Suddenly announce that he wants to fight Stipe Miocic and so Dana White can not say no about this,


Did you mean Sergei Pavlovich, Man that will be a great fight for sure the power of Sergei Pavlovich is surely a match, and sure even Tom Aspinal will have a hard time against him, and Sergei Pavlovich against Tai Tuivasa sure Tuivasa is no match against his power it was a KO/TKO win for Sergei Pavlovich, and against Curtis Blaydes Pavlovich surely defeat him aswell with KO/TKO the power with his striking and for sure there is technicality in it that other fighters can not ignore for me I think even Ciryl Gane will also have a hardtime with him

^  It was a jab that caught Dawson and Bobby Green doesn't even hit that hard.  So not really sure what went on out there.  And I'm pretty sure Dawson got hit harder than that in the past.  It's prolly just one of those things, you know?

Anyway here are the results...

Lightweight:  Bobby Green def Grant Dawson KO (punches)
Middleweight:  Joe Pyfer def Abdul Razak Alhassan Technical Submission (arm-triangle choke)
Welterweight:  Joaquin Buckley def Alex Morono Decision (unanimous) (30–27, 30–27, 30–26)
Lightweight:  Drew Dober def Ricky Glenn TKO (punches)
Featherweight:  Bill Algeo def Alexander Hernandez Decision (unanimous) (30–27, 30–27, 30–27)
Women's Strawweight:  Karolina Kowalkiewicz def Diana Belbita Decision (unanimous) (30–27, 30–27, 30–27)
Flyweight:  Nate Maness def Mateus Mendonca TKO (punches)
Women's Strawweight:  Vanessa Demopoulos def Kanako Murata Decision (unanimous) (29–28, 29–28, 29–28)
Bantamweight:  Aori Qileng def Johnny Muñoz Jr. Decision (unanimous) (29–28, 29–28, 29–28)
Women's Flyweight:  JJ Aldrich def Montana De La Rosa Decision (unanimous) (30–27, 30–27, 30–27)

Because this is Jon Jones this is likely a high payment for him, I really think he is thankful for Jon Jones because he surely offers a fight for an old fighter like him for sure 41 years Stipe Miocic is really a letdown, but it is what Jon Jones wants but we really aren't asking for it for sure for me Stipe Miocic is not gonna do much against Jon Jones in my opinion, but for sure I really wish we got to see a great next match after this and for Jon Jones to not retired so soon, maybe Tom Aspinal or maybe Sergei Pavlovich is a great fight for Jon Jones,

The results of my bet and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Dawson vs. Green

Grant Dawson VS Bobby Green ROUND 1 KO/TKO - LOST

It looks like Grant Dawson isn't himself going into the fight he is weird going against Bobby Green for sure and I was really shocked that 1 punch is what Bobby Green needed to finish off Grant Dawson, At the beginning of the fight Bobby Green immediately went on the middle of the cage and Dawson just backing up from him showing he is dominant and from that, the punch that Bobby Green brings out Grant Dawson didn't see it and it was really a deadly punch if you can see the punch Grant Dawson didn't even go for a takedown and tried the waters it was a clear win for Bobby Green,

Alex Morono VS Joaquin Buckley ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

Joaquin Buckley already showed his power to Alex Morono from the standing he showed that he was the dominant one with the standings you can clearly see from his movement and he even goes with the takedown while Alex Morono is really Hesitant but surely Morono even went into an armbar but failed and even with a guillotine and also failed you can clearly see the level of defense Joaquin Buckley inside the ring so for sure he clearly won the fight for sure, Alex Morono is constantly backing from Buckley every time Buckley is moving forward,

Karolina Kowalkiewicz VS Diana Belbita ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

For me, it was a close match so Kudos to these two fighters but Karolina Kowalkiewicz has gotten the upper hand in this fight from the standings even though it looks close Karolina Kowalkiewicz did manage a clean shot against Belbita for sure the judges have called this fight right and manage to score it for Karolina Kowalkiewicz,

For sure you don't really offend Miocic with that because it is reality that you are saying Stipe Miocic is really past his prime and not only that for sure too old to return and if not for Jon Jones's request to fight Stipe Miocic then the UFC will not allow this for sure as this for sure will not cater a huge PPV, so yeah this is just a walk in the Park for Jon Jones for sure,

---

The result for my pick and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Dawson vs. Green

Grant Dawson (1.20) VS Bobby Green (4.60) - LOST

For sure many were surprised with the result and this was an upset for Grant Dawson with just 1 left punch the fight was all over for sure just like what you have said it was really unusual for Dawson to do such things saluting Bobby Green and getting the best out from this fight it was for sure Bobby Green is the one that is putting a lot of pressure against Dawson, Green was constantly moving forward while Grant Dawson was moving backward, and yes Dawson didn't see that upcoming straight left punch from Bobby Green,



Joe Pyfer (1.27) VS Abdul Razak Alhassan (3.85) - WIN

WOW! Just WOW! Joe Pyfer at the beginning of round 1 just shot a takedown out of nowhere just like what Khamzat Chimaev did with Kevin Holland but Abdul Razak Alhassan is ready with his takedown defense even though Pyfer's pressure with his standing is just supreme Alhassan is backing up from it, for sure he got a hard time with Pyfer for sure, but because of Pyfer's long reach he can surely control Alhassan grappling for sure it is Joe Pyfer's win when he get that Submission on Alhassan, that power that Pyfer showcase when he hoist Alhassan and then getting him in the ground for a Tringle Choke what power,



Alex Morono (2.47) VS Joaquin Buckley (1.55) - WIN

For this fight, Joaquin Buckley is surely Dominating the fight from start to finish, his stand-up is superb against Alex Morono because Morono was backed by the pressure that Joaquin Buckley was emitting sure he could not takedown Buckley for sure and he knows that but surely Joaquin Buckley is there and getting ready at Morono even though the fight was a decision win for Buckley it was really evident who really won the fight,

Pavlo might have a bigger chance with Jones than Aspinall. But the bookers know it's still Jones, both may have a KO punch, and the striking can only matter if they could hit Jones by surprise just like Green hitting Dawson.

You couldn't tell whether Green's punch does have a weight but it KOed Dawson which started the hammer fists. Not a very expected fight plan for Daawson, he is more of a grappler so it's disappointing not seeing him tried to takedown when there is aa chance.

It's not just that nasty KO from Francis (although it surely had some serious impact). Stipe is now 41 years old, his will be fighting after over a 2.5-year break. It's pretty obvious that he would've retired already and only agreed to fight Jon Jones for the money. I'm guessing it could be the biggest payout in his career. I doubt he actually believes he can win it or has any strong ambitions of getting the belt back.
I have nothing but respect for the guy and probably will be rooting for him to win, but we all know that Aspinall (or even Pavlovich) would be a greater challenge for Jon Jones.

I don't mean to offend Miocic, he is one of the best heavyweights in the UFC. But the era is over. Defeat via knockout by Francis will not make Miocic the same person. The Jon Jones vs Miocic fight would only be interesting if it was held some 6-9 years ago when Miocic still ruled this class. A Mocic vs Jones fight will only add to Jones' UFC win record as I am almost 90% sure Jones will win.

For sure this is a huge upgrade for that fight as Tom Aspinall is more younger and well-rounded than Stipe and yeah no offense to Miocic for sure he has his ups and downs but getting him back into UFC just because Jon Jones wants it is really absurd maybe the UFC is offering him a huge amount just to accept this fight for sure but for me, Tom Aspinal is a better candidate to face Jon Jones next,

Now getting into the UFC Event this is my late picks and prediction

Grant Dawson (1.20) VS Bobby Green (4.60)

For this fight, Bobby Green is a great athlete for sure and has a great takedown defense and Striking he might have a stand-up advantage against Grant Dawson for sure but for this fight, if Grant Dawson can bring this to the ground Bobby Green will be having a hard time defending there which I really think Dawson can pull up he could get the back of Green then this is over so my pick is Grant Dawson,



Joe Pyfer (1.27) VS Abdul Razak Alhassan (3.85)

For this fight, Joe Pyfer looks huge and surely much larger than Razak Alhassan, and for me, Pyfer has better striking and a ground game for sure going into this fight but Abdul Razak Alhassan has the power to knock out his opponent getting that 12 KO wins but for sure Pyfer is definitely has a better wrestling he could easily take Alhassan into the ground and control him in there for sure I will be going into a well-rounded guy, and that is Joe Pyfer,



Alex Morono (2.47) VS Joaquin Buckley (1.55)

For this fight I think Joaquin Buckley can out-strike Morono For me Buckley has huge power output with his punches and if he catches Morono with it this will be over, for sure Alex Morono will be very keen on getting this into the ground but my take is if he can bring it because Buckley has a great takedown defense and this could be a very difficult time for Morono for sure so my pick is Joaquin Buckley,

Encouraging Women to be Women, as you have said Karolina Kowalkiewicz is very feminine and maternal for sure they know their limitations inside the ring, and for Karolina maybe this is her time to take off her gloves for sure as a Man in the house I am the one responsible in taking care of my wife and daughter and surely I will not let them get hurt and surely I will not let them get into this kind of business as they could get hurt in the process well, it is my job to provide for them so they can not go into some fights or posted their boby into Only Fans, but as I have said this kind of thing exists now stopping it will surely take time and effort for sure let's just support and hope for the best,

---

My late post for my bet for this UFC event I have already posted this in another thread as I was really late in posting this here and for sure Congrats to Karolina Kowalkiewicz for winning her fight

Grant Dawson VS Bobby Green

The Odds for this fight are 1.20 for Dawson and 4.60 for Green, for this fight for sure Grant Dawson has some great submission moves and his wrestling is great, and likely when he gets the back of his opponent it is all over, but for sure Bobby Green has great stand-up than Dawson and he also got great takedown defense so it will be hard for Dawson to submit Green, but if Dawson did Submits Green then he can win this match for me this is the 1st time for Grant Dawson to test going into 5 rounds but I think he can surely make it and he is a young athlete and a rising star so my pick is Grant Dawson,

Alex Morono VS Joaquin Buckley

The Odds for this fight are 2.40 for Morono and 1.58 for Buckley, For this fight the bookies have opened this up with Alex Morono as the favorite but then Joaquin Buckley just managed to turn the tables for me Alex Morono's fight with Tim Means, Means was winning that fight until he caught him with a Guillotine but in this fight, I really hate Alex Morono's Standing even though he got wrestling in his arsenal I really think it is not that good and Joaquin Buckley has better striking, and surely has a better takedown defense so  my take here is Joaquin Buckley winning this fight

Karolina Kowalkiewicz VS Diana Belbita

The Odds for this fight are 1.65 for Kowalkiewicz and 2.26 for Belbita, For this fight I really like Diana Belbita's Beauty but for this fight, I really think that Karolina Kowalkiewicz can overpower her with her range and height, and for me even if Belbita won against Maria Oliveira it is not a great of a fight and Maria Oliveira also lost to Vanessa Demopoulos while Karolina Kowalkiewicz won against her for sure I really think that the veteran Karolina Kowalkiewicz could win this but I could be wrong because Belbita had a solid Striking output, but the power and wrestling of Kowalkiewicz in there, so my pick is Karolina Kowalkiewicz,

Sure, we can start turning men into women and women into men, but for what purpose? We've been doing this in the West for quite some time now and it doesn't seem to be working that great, does it?
Women can pull off great fights, but the price they pay is way higher than men. They have less muscle mass and lower bone density, meaning they're more likely to suffer serious injuries. But most of all, their peak fighting career years collide with peak fertility age, meaning having a "successful" career up to the late 30s very likely will come at the price of not having any children. The ability to give birth to another human being is objectively more important than a fighting record, which no one would care few years after retirement.

Karolina Kowalkiewicz is a good example, she got into the sport as a way to fight her depression (not uncommon in the female MMA world), she nearly lost a sight in one eye after one of her fights. She announced that she will be retiring by 2023 to try for a child and focus on maternity, but it doesn't look like that worked out. Shame, you could tell just by looking at her that she's very feminine and maternal. To look at girls like her and say "yeah, she should be spending her last fertile years on getting punched and kicked in the face" is insane. That's what toxic support is.

So try to puke out the feminist pill that you swallowed, be a man and encourage women to be women.

I also think the same way, when you put a woman in a cage to fight until she no longer has the strength to continue fighting, then I wonder what that woman's relationship must be like at home with her husband and children, but also We need to ask the same question when we see men fighting until one of them no longer has the strength to fight, we have to ask ourselves if that fighter doesn't commit violence in his home, does that fighter not beat his wife, children and friends? The strong blows that are given in MMA fights, which often involve a lot of blood even in the ring, have made me question whether we will ever leave the barbarities of ancient times when the rich would put their slaves to fight to the death.

There are times when the fighter is already extremely weak and visibly in no condition to continue fighting, so the other fighter who is still in good condition to continue fighting punches the guy who is weak and when he falls without moving he goes and starts hitting him with elbows and the referee who is very far away runs to stop the fight, but after the guy who was already weak and on the ground suffered a lot of blows and is winning and then I see the public celebrating a lot, it looks like in the UFC A good fight has to have blood, so the referee has to wait for one of the fighters to bleed to comply with the schedule.

and I saw this happen in many fights, I was even shocked in the women's fights, just look at the fights between Amanda Nunes, Ronda Rousey and other fighters, in the men's fights I'm forgetting the name of the fighter who also constantly saw blood in his fights. That's our society, in boxing it's true that there are also cases of fights that end in blood, but at least they have protection and some good rules and the fact that they don't have to put shuts down is something that makes boxing less violent

Lmaoo and yup, I'd rather watch some UFC event than having no event.  The Contender Series have been going great too.  Lots of bangers.


^  I got the same picks as you except for the Algeo one and the Pyfer one.  Alexander Hernandez is prolly better but the cardio drops of after 1.5 rounds.  So it's either Hernandez finishes it early via TKO or Algeo finishes it late via sub.

As for the Pyfer vs Alhassan, no strong reads as to why pick Alhassan but the guy has powerrr in those hands and he has more experience in the UFC.

...  And here are the weigh ins guys.

Everybody made weight.

Grant Dawson (156) vs Bobby Green (156)
Abdul Razak Alhassan (184.5) vs Joe Pyfer (185)
Joaquin Buckley (170) vs Alex Morono (170.5)
Drew Dober (155.5) vs Ricky Glenn (155.5)
Bill Algeo (146) vs Alexander Hernandez (145.5)
Ion Cutelaba (205.5) vs Philipe Lins (205)
Diana Belbita (115.5) vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz (116)
Nate Maness (126) vs Mateus Mendonca (125.5)
Vanessa Demopoulos (116) vs Kanako Murata (115.5)
Johnny Munoz (136) vs Aori Qileng (136)
JJ Aldrich (125.5) vs Montana De La Rosa (126)

Actually, I really don't get what they are talking about, and working to sniff some information about it later and share it here maybe later I can get a better understanding of what video Bobby Green was talking about because it is not really clear for sure, in what it is,

But for the Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Diana Belbiţă face-off photo, it was really great both fighters are cute and friendly for sure and so because of that let's save that moment with the Screen Shot from that face-off, here it is thank me later,




For me, JJ Aldrich is a safe bet in my opinion her wrestling powers are pretty much amazing which is why the odds are for her, and for me if there are no better odds I think it is pretty much impossible to make a profit from that fight I will not forcibly make a bet on them even if they are a fighting kitten for sure,

But JJ Aldrich is a good call for sure she could win this with a decision or a submission in my opinion, but that is a risky bet but a profitable one, but money line could be a clearly easy and safe bet for sure,

This is not exactly what I would call interesting UFC event but I can find few matches I like, Joaquin Buckley vs Alex Morono is one of them.
There is a good story behind Joe Pyfer so it could be a good fight against Alhassan after his injury, but he remains a big favorite.

This are my main card picks:
Grant Dawson
Joe Pyfer
Joaquin Buckley
Drew Dober
Philipe Lins
Bill Algeo

I rarely bet on womens fights  but the very first fight for tomorrow de La Rosa, Montana - Aldrich, Jj has JJ at plus odds and people on reddit really like that play as shes a better wrestler than rosa and should dominate rosa on the mat, perhaps a submission as well
