Aspinall can not be so confident against Tybura. He may not be as brutal as Blaydes but he's well rounded.
Took a year for Aspinal to come back after Blaydes's fight, it's considerably long inactivity due to the knee injury.  He may actually lose the fight because that injury causes his knee to be unstable.

Lots of interesting matches this weekend though. I'd skip Aspinal but will bet on some.
Muniz by submission
Stoliarenko by submission
Grant by submission
Alvarez by Submission

He has powerrr in those hands but not sure if he's really as 'good' as where the books want to line him at.  What was the price for him last weekend?  Around 1.30?  That's too much imho.  If JDM and his opponent fought under the same conditions three times I think his opponent could win once.  And as the match ended in a split decision, JDM should've been lined close to a coin flip.

The UFC must be giving Aspinall a favor by matching him up with an easy opponent after what happened during his last match.  Let's hope the knee is all healed up!  I think Aspinall via sub at anything around 2.50 - 3.00 will be value here.

Costa has been boasting with black bjj belt often. Like the moment he threw white belt into Adesanya, but funny that he hadnt used any of his bjj skills in their fight Wikipedia claim that Costa vs Chimaev is already announced. Weird. I though Usman was calling out Chimaev. Funny that in past, no one wanted to fight Chimaev, but now he has two potential opponents If I was Costa, I would prefer Aliskerov instead of Chimaev. Aliskerov might be easier opponent because he is new to UFC. Yeap that will be a risky fight if we speak about ranking, but I see zero chances to win against Chimaev for Costa.

Btw, UAE is beloved place for Nurmagomedov or Makhavhev to fight. Maybe we would see Makhachev next fight in UFC 294 also. I've seen rumours about Makhachev vs Oliveira 2 fight in Abu Dhabi.

Jack Della Maddalena is actually a pretty good UFC fighter even in 17 fights he managed to have 15 wins with 11 TKOs.
This fighter based on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has succeeded in becoming a fighter who can give fans satisfaction when watching him fight and now he has managed to occupy 13th place in the Welterweight class.
But when it comes to fighting Khamzat Chimaev I still doubt that Jack Della Maddalena can win even though he has tried his best, because Khamzat Chimaev is quite a dangerous fighter and often creates wins with his fighting intelligence.

There might be a reason why Paulo Costa Cancelled his fight against Ikram Aliskerov, and there are a lot of speculation that Paulo Costa is cancelling the fight due top the fact that he wants to fight Khamzat Chimaev, for me he should fight Ikram Aliskerov so he could see if he can have the fire power to defeat Islam Makhachev, because Ikram Aliskerov is surely like Makhachev but in low maintained mode, so this is a great opportunity for Paulo Costa to surely try it on a low level fighter than with the real deal Makhachev, he is insane if he doesn't try his BJJ to Ikram Aliskerov first, but I really don't see Costa perform some BJJ maybe this is the 1st time,


You might be right in the UFC point of view Costa is still a profitable fighter and many is still wants to see him fight, well maybe not to fight but his antics was really go for the profit for sure, or maybe Paulo Costa also know that he still isn't ready for that Ikram Aliskerov fight for sure so he still needs time to prepare for that fight for me it is really exciting and I am curious is Khamzat Chimaev would defeat a build like Gilbert Burns but this time a much more bulkier Paulo Costa,

Yup! That might be it, for sure Jack Della Maddalena isn't what we think he could be with Wrestler for sure, or maybe because of his weight cuts for 2 weeks that might affect his cardio, maybe he had a hard time with Bassil Hafez, but for sure a lot is thinking Jack Della Maddalena will surely struggle against Khamzat Chimaev for sure,


Well, Dana White is a clown aswell, for making that Slap Contest a reality he is engaging in Clown entertainment, but yeah giving an opportunity to Holly Holm is not really bad even giving it to Ronda Rousey and I get it to give a chance to the legends of the UFC, but it was a terrible mistake in giving Holm to Bueno Silva in my opinion, she was eaten alive by those Submissions for sure, and instead of giving it to the obvious why not make an interesting gamble on making Mayra Bueno Silva a shot to the title,


It was a long time since I saw a Khamzat Chimaev fight and that is for sure so this fight could be juicy and much awaited for many fans they want to see Costa mutilated by Chimaev, but some are just curious about what has happened with this fight well if Khamzat Chimaev can pull a wrestling move on a much bigger and heavier Paolo Costa for sure and yes both of the fighters can surely prove their worth in this fight,

Well, Paulo Costa has teases fans that he backs out on his fight on UFC 291 against Ikram Aliskerov but in Topology I can still see them in the card, well if he backs out on UFC 291 we will surely see him against Khamzat Chimaev taking the fight to Abu Dhabi on UFC 294, for sure,

Same high risk against Khamzat but at least Abu Dhabi fight will be profitable for Costa. Fans will not look at it that way though, to them Costa is a pullout puss.
Khamzat also pullout against Usman reasoning he only wants in the MW which Costa make sense. They did have a heated quarrel before and Costa was very eager to fight Khamzat so they finally agreed.

Costa can prove his BJJ blackbelt against Khamzat. Either that Khamzat sniffs his crouch.

Allegedly Paulo Costa is hinting (on his twitter) that the reason for his pull-out is that he got contracted to fight Chimaev at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi (October?) and this would make sense.
His fight with Aliskerov was a poor match-up in my opinion. Aliskerov would gain a lot by winning, but from Costa's point of view, it was a high-risk-low-reward move. And from the UFC perspective, Costa is still a well hyped-up fighter, so why waste his earning potential like that? Setting him up against Chimaev makes way more sense money-wise.


Not really. I can't find even a sparring footage on youtube.

This fight has been cancelled. Paulo Costa refused to fight in two less before the fight (Booo!). Now Aliskerov gonna fight Roman Dolidze, whos gonna be on short notice and fought in March against Vettori. For information, Aliskerov has only 1 loss (to Chimaev) in his career and is sort of a Chimaev on minimal settings. Either Costa has money issues with UFC again, or got scared. Because Aliskerov is a perfect counter for Costa (combat sambo + he is from Dagestan ). Btw, anyone ever seen how Costa wrestle or use bjj techniques? Has he proved that he really got that black belt in bjj?

Maybe! but there are some that doing this and still won their fights but maybe there is a different effect for Jack Della Maddalena about the weight cuts but I still think that he is still young so maybe there isn't an effect for him, and yes strikers weakness are wrestlers and even though Bassil Hafez is not that well-verse with the wrestling I think that have an effect on Jack Della Maddalena in some way, and I agree if Della Maddalena could fight a more well verse wrestler in the octagon then that could be something new to him for sure,


I think he is talking about the performance of Holm might be affected with that kind of movement and not with how she could last inside the Octagon, for sure Holly Holm loss because of this kind of aspect, but her opponent Mayra Bueno Silva is a monster when it comes to Submission and that Standing Ninja Choke is something of an advance chokes that she can incorporate inside the ring, so for sure Mayra Bueno Silva won fair and square against Holly Holm,

While a Ronda Rousey return I really doubting her to return in the UFC, now that she is at the WWE and the training is very different but maybe she has now have something in her sleeves a plan in winning every fight so let's just wait

Amanda is too competitive to retire but because there is just too few fighters in the division, she goes hunting for another promotion that might give her more opportunities and retiring a champ is a good selling point for these opportunity. But sure if Dana wants a title shot for Holm, why not. How fake can it get when its obvious that some up there not worthy. UFC sometimes can just give it to anyone doesn't matter if it sounds like a clown show.

So many fighters are looking for opportunity and rumor has it that Dana is buying Bellator.   I guess the fights that we fansy for a long time will come to materialize. This is if the rumor is true.

I really think after that Hafez fight the canceled fight with Sean Brady needs to commence maybe after 6 months or 5 months tops, but let's just see I really want to see a Jack Della Madalena VS Sean Brady fight, but Jack Della Madalena fighting a top-ranked opponent or getting a title shot he will not surely last, even though he got 2 times Weight cut I really think he already got relax after that another weight cut, or he just needs to maintain that weight cut, so for me, he is in good condition to fight Mafez,


Holly Holm's return was premature in my opinion she doesn't need to fight Mayra Bueno Silva if she can not take a wrestler of this caliber, for me Holms still doesn't stand a chance even though she have trained against a wrestler and added wrestling in her game it is still not enough for sure,


Maybe she is just listening to her team or even waiting for Amanda Nunes to retire, but for sure this is her real opportunity to get that belt and return it to the Brazilians because Amanda Nunes is Brazilian so she got a goal to get the belt back so for sure after another fight she will get a title fight,

in the last event I couldn't place any bets, although I had already chosen some fights as was the case of the fight between Viktoriia Dudakova against Istela Nunes, I wanted to bet on Viktoriia Dudakova to win the fight, I remember that the odd was @1.50 in case Viktoriia Dudakova won the fight, and incredible Viktoriia Dudakova won the fight, it would have made a good profit, since my plan was to put this fight on my parlay, but unfortunately I had a problem that forced me to leave the house and When I came back, I couldn't bet anymore because the fight was over.

I had a lot of bad luck, but anyway, now waiting for the next fights, this time I intend to place bets early, to avoid repeating my bad luck from the last event, I still have no idea who I will bet on the next event, but I will follow the news and collect data about the fighters in advance so that it also makes it easier for me to place bets early as soon as I can, but I am much more inclined to bet on the victories of the following fighters: Muradov, Alvarez, Aspinall and Mccann which would give me an odd of @3.30 on my multibet bet

She would have gotten champ defending fights if she started early in UFC but she was also busy in boxing. Her last few fights are not also impressive as they were just Decisions, I guess her fight plan was also to pin against the cage aka the dirty boxing of Couture stalling til the 5th round. This time however Silva comes prepared for it.

Unfortunately, Ronda isn't coming back to UFC. This division is dead unless someone comes to save it. Dana will likely give Pennington a shot.

There's a deficit of female fighters with enough recognition to sell the tickets. Holm has earned her name and can still capitalise on that as long as her performance is not a complete embarrassment. She has won 3 out of her last 5 fights so, despite her age, she's not looking that bad at all. She could do better in avoiding that standing choke but she looked OK until then.
I don't think women should be fighting at all, but I wouldn't write her off just because of her age. Everyone ages differently.

It could prolly also mean he isn't really as good as he's said to be.  To think he was matched vs Sean Brady before the match vs Hatez.  Brady is a good wrestler who prolly would've rag dolled JDM around the cage.  I think the line for that match up was close to a coin flip.  Good value for Brady.  :/


Yup!  You could tell just be the way her face looked as she was walking to her dressing room.  She didn't look all too pleased to have a fight.  Like she was anxious about something.

Anyway watch how Dudakova vs Nunes ended.  Gross.

And this next event...  Lots of closely lined bouts.  :/ 

Now I think that many have already moved on with the recent UFC Fight Night for Holm and Bueno Silva, and for sure I think that there are a number of people in the forum that doesn't want something to do with this event and think of it as boring, well that was also my 1st impression but watching the fight I really think i is also decent enough, but now moving forward  because this event ends there are another event that is opening and it is the UFC Fight Night: Aspinall vs. Tybura

Information was from TAPOLOGY

There's no need to worry about it because in UFC fights are not usually that long and they will gonna be just fine after a fight and will get ready for the next month to fight again. If Ronda wants to regain her honor back, she can always sign again and probably this time she will have a higher chance of defeating Holm. time flies, they already became old I remember how she beat Ronda when she was beating everybody else inside the cage.

Jack Della Maddalena looks tired in that fight actually those two weight cuts could surely take a toll on his performance for sure and Hafez is just an average wrestler, not as explosive as Khamzat Chimaev or Gilbert Burns for sure he would not last long,

Here are the results of my picks and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Bueno Silva

Holly Holm VS Mayra Bueno Silva ROUND 2 SUBMISSION - WIN

Actually, I thought that Holly Holm can win if she can stop the takedown but it is a good thing that I have gone with the underdog for this fight because Mayra Bueno Silva is a monster when it comes to the ground but I never thought that even in the stand-up she is now capable of defeating the recent champion, Holly Holm, for me because of that Bueno Silva can still improve with his style and effectiveness, for this to happen surely that win is really needed for me Mayra Bueno Silva can sure become a champion in the future of likely can fight a higher rank fighter maybe Julianna Peña next for the vacant title shot,

Jack Della Maddalena VS Bassil Hafez ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

In this fight, Jack Della Maddalena got a poor performance maybe because of the two times he cut weight, he surely have his fight last week, but canceled due to a medical problem of his opponent then cut weight again this week because he was scheduled again for this week fight, so it was really a close match against Bassil Mafez, for sure his weakness was exposed and base on this fight he is not fit to fight on the upper ranking for the `Welterweight for sure Khamzat Chimaev will surely give him easy work for their fight for sure,
