That is the Spirit! I know most of us here can surely Appreciate a fighting kitten even though some only have a few, a couple even 1 fitting kitten is enough and a great pick as Karolina Kowalkiewicz is something that has a perfect figure for sure, and from her 5 consecutive losses but her determination never stop there as she got back up and won 3 consecutive wins and her last win was with Vanessa Demopoulos, and even though it was a decision it was but for sure Diana Belbita has a Zebra kind of stats and Karolina Kowalkiewicz could win this fight,


Adding up the ages of both fighters sure that there will be different odds for this fight aswell, and adding their age sure Bobby Green is a crucial fighter and his age might become a hindrance in the future well in this match a younger opponent can likely win in the fight but Bobby Green with his 37 years of age might also not become a hindrance against Grant Dawson,


For sure he has tried his best not to offend Alexander Volkanovski, but Volk surely doesn't have a small neck at least that is what I see, or maybe because his body build was like that because he is a rugby player but you are right when Volk can read this, this might crack him good because when I was reading this I almost spit what I am drinking,

To play referee's advocate, the fight was in the last second of the final round, he literally stopped it in the last second. It was a clear mistake but I kind of understand his hesitancy.

I haven't seen a full fight, so no idea why has it ended with a technical decision, defined as:
“If an accidental foul causes an injury severe enough for the referee to stop the bout after ½ of the scheduled rounds, plus one (1) second of the fight has been completed, the bout will result in a TECHNICAL DECISION awarded to the fighter who is ahead on the scorecards at the time the bout is stopped.”
Those elbows looked legal, so I'm clueless on the reason for that ruling.

Aspinall fighting Jones seems a predictable result. Aspinall may like it of course getting a title shot will flatter him but that doesn't mean it's not a mismatch fight.

If Dana really wants a big fight, they should book Jones vs. Ngannou for a cross promotion to make this fight possible. There is nothing more to wait for than this one. HW use to be an exciting class but Dana not making it happen makes the division suck.

I think right now, John Jones is the Money fight. So they are going to put him against another fighter who can also generate a good amount of buzz. And I personally think that Aspinall can do that right now. So I personally think that they are going to give him the fight against John Jones. I also agree that John Jones is not going to stay for a long time in the UFC. This time I think he is here for the money. And he is trying to get as much money as he can, actually, I should say, making as much money as he can, while he is still in decent shape.

I don't know if the ranking is going to matter much in this. They are probably going to go with the fight that is going to make them more money.

All Charles needs is to get to Islam with jabs from a distance. Once he sees he hurt Islam, he can then make more combos to end up on Islam's back. Front kicks are hard to catch yes that also can be mixed with his jabs. He just needs one good shot to hurt Islam before going for combos, 5 rounds will be enough to find that shot.

If he gets impatient and carelessly risks again, he'll be submitted. Islam is prepared in all ways, he can even duck a jab, throw a counter from under, and end up lifting Charles.
The odds will probably be Charles 2.00 and Islam 1.40

^  I think the UFC will go for Jones vs Aspinall after Miocic.  In Aspinall's last post fight interview, he said he was ready to go for the belt now.  As from the interviews prior he was hesitant and kept on saying he needed more time to develop.  And I don't think Jones is staying long in the UFC.  He'll prolly have a couple more fights in the UFC after Miocic then retire.  So yeah I hope the next one is vs Aspinall.  He'll be a great champ if he wins.

I think I'd rather see Pavlovich vs Gane.  Dunno...  

Edit:  Just checked the rankings.  It looks like Pavlovich should be next for the title as he's ranked higher.  And it's Aspinall who should be going for Gane.  :/

There is also Ciryl Gane in heavyweight roster. What about him? Maybe he is the next to test Aspinall or Pavlovich? I doubt that Gane is gonna have another title fight, but he is top2 right now. Imho he should test someone before a title fight.

We all remember how Dana White and UFC fans complained about Mario Yamasaki and Steve Mazzagatti judging. Recently found this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtoAZ_3I8CT/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D. I am speechless. 5-6 unnecessary elbows... Wtf ref was thinking about ? This even hurts to watch. What surprises me most - this fight officially ended with "Technical Decision (unanimous) (30–27, 30–27, 29–28)". This is not a TKO, but a UD...

I believe everything is going to depend on how he comes back from his injury. He definitely has time. But obviously the question is, Whether Dana White is going to give him a chance or not. I also think that Dana White is not going to risk his money to give him another chance. Unless he looks in really good physical condition. I believe he is going to get a chance if his physical condition is really good when he comes back from injury. Which I think is probably not very realistic to think about to be honest. But obviously there is a chance.

100% agree. Aspinall Vs Jones is an absolute must. Aspinall will probably have to score at least one more high-profile win, as he's not yet hyped up enough to pull out a proper big-money PPV fight. No offense to Stipe, but I think Tom is much better fighter, he's definitely hungrier. If Jon Jones wants to retire as a GOAT in full glory, he will have to face Aspinall, otherwise it will look like he's running away from the real challenge.
Technically Pavlovich would be next for a title shot, but I can't imagine Jones being interested in such fight.

Easier said than done. As soon as Oliveira commits to a punch, Islam will shoot for the legs. Probably he mix some jabs and front kicks, but keeping safe distance for 5 rounds at this level is impossible to pull off.

LOL there is nothing to choke, right? Can't believe I'm reading this. No one yet has said this to Volk? This will really crack him.
But true that Charles will not be able to do just what Volk did against Islam. Rogan acknowledged Volk won although just in his POV.  What Chaarles can do is use his reach, throwing straight jabs while being defensive, always watch out for the TD.

Green and Ferguson are the ones fed to the new kids. What did these guys do to deserve punishment from Dana?

What Volkanovski did is very difficult for other fighters to imitate. Volk once weighed comparable to a heavyweight when he was a Rugby player. So you can imagine how dense Volk's body is. If you look closely, it looks like Volk doesn't have a neck because it's so short. And that makes it very difficult for wrestlers to attempt submissions. In my opinion, Volk can compete with Islam because he is indeed The Great.

Green has 30 wins and that's a nice record, but is important to mention that he has 14 losses, so, if we compare that with the 20 wins from Dawson and only one loss, that makes Dawson the huge favorite. And as we can see in the casinos, the odds are x1.24 vs x4.

And i agree, it will be hard to see a win by KO, I think the winning method will be by Decision because at the weight of 70kg is hard to see a powerful KO.

^  Lol yeah, both are cute.  I like KK a tad better tho.  There's just something about her.


Made my picks and exposing my underdog picks.  Maness and Alhassan...  The other ones are just slight underdogs.  But yeah, have feeling those two guys could win their respective matches.  I didn't wanna tell everybody right away because I wanted to have a fighting chance to win some free bets.    It's been a while.  Lmao.

I am seeing Charles Oliveira being defeated again in this fight with Islam Makhachev, for me the level of wrestling for Islam Makhachev is that huge for Charles Oliveira to understand but I could also be wrong here as it was a dominant fight that he showcased against Beneil Dariush, but for me If Charles Oliveira got an upgrade with his initial striking, power, and ground game for sure Islam Makhachev will be on a different level as well, but for sure I am still be going with the Dagestan Fighter Islam Makhachev for sure,


For me, the Main Event is really juicy but for sure but I enjoy the events that don't have any juicy line-ups as long as there are Fighting Kittens on that card I am pretty much excited about the weight-ins and the whole fight for certain fighting kittens and in this event, Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Diana Belbiţă in the preliminary Card is what I think the jam pack card for a kitten fight, expecting a great card for sure,

Tom Aspinall has a great come and for me, he vs Jon Jones must come to Fruition for sure I think that Tom Aspinall proved himself when he fought Marcin Tybura for sure but for sure he will be having a hard time with Sergei Pavlovich in my opinion, the power and accuracy is there so there could be a hard time for him to defeat such opponent but this is just my though and I am also wrong about this,

Well, back on Rafael Fiziev sure he will return again because Dana White is hands-on with his recovery so he will surely recover but I wish him a fast recovery for sure,


For sure both fighters are a treat when they face each other and we have Bobby Green who is eager to fight for sure but I really don't think that he is able to make it fast to a much higher ranking as he is nearing the end of his prime and father time is in his doorstep for sure, we can not be so sure as Grant Dawson is much younger than him so this could end up in Dawson's favor,

Fiziev will be out for quite some time, so I wouldn't count him for any foreseeable match ups. Dariush was rumoured to fight Tsarukyan, but it doesn't seem to be official yet.


I don't know, but Volkanovski kind of proved that Islam's strengths can be neutralised. He lost by decision but it was a close fight. I don't see Charles being able to copy Volk's tactic or do it better though. There's always a chance of winning by a lucky punch, or an injury. I have a gut feeling that Oliveira can pull a big surprise, but, at the same time, I can't imagine how can he actually win it. He will probably focus on keeping his distance and surviving the first few rounds, to not get finished early as the last time.

Yeah as I mentioned, in the lightweight class there are Dustin, Justin, Dariush and Chandler who round out the top 5. They are all monsters. That's why I say that if new blood is needed then these monsters should fight with new faces in this class in the top 10 like Gamrot, Fiziev, Dawson and Tsarukyan. Beneil already fought Gamrot and Justin fought Fiziev. Is it possible to make Tsarukyan vs. Dustin and Chandler vs. Dawson (if he wins against Green) fights?

Islam vs Oliveira 2 can be said to be the most awaited fight this year. Although I have a hard time seeing how Oliveira will beat Makhacev. Seriously Makhacev's only defeat was 7 years ago and that too via knockout. And Makhacev now has much better striking. I don't know maybe someone can tell me how Oliveira will win this match?

I know Dawson won't beat Green by knockout but if I were betting then I would bet Dawson would win by Unanimous Decision. Dawson, who is in his prime, is my consideration in choosing him. Green is too old to compete at the top level. I respect Green as a tough fighter with 30 wins. I also think it's time for him to retire or his report card will be tarnished with defeat.

I not sure whether they deserve or can enter the top 5 of the Lightweight division because look there are a number of great fighters who might be difficult to beat and in first place is Islam Makhachev and second is Oliviera.
If you want fight that is very fierce and controversial, then Islam vs Oliviera will be the most eagerly awaited main card schedule because Islam will defend his belt and Oliviera will try hard to take the belt from Islam Makhachev.

Grant Dawson vs Bobby Green can actually give you satisfaction when watching them fight and I sure one of the two will end tragically with KO defeat.
Dawson is a fighter who doesn't easily let his opponents put up more resistance and he also has a 12 fight unbeaten record but Green has also managed to become a fighter who can beat several other great fighters so this fight will be quite hot.
There is slight chance that Dawson will be able to beat Green by KO.
