I also have heard that people are saying Strickland does not deserve to have their belt. But I don't know about that. He was able to win against Israel Adesanya because he definitely deserved to win. Remember, past achievements, do not mean anything if you cannot win the fight that you have in hand. You can have a good past. But if you cannot perform in the present, no one is going to judge you based on your fast, especially after you lose.

I also agree that Shevchenko and Grasso need to fight against each other. I do not follow women’s fights in UFC to match, but this is something I am interested in.

There was a conspiracy in Mike Bell's action and why he gave the 10 - 8 Score in favor of Grasso sure it all ended up in a controversial Draw for sure all points were 10 -  9 so why in the world do we have the 10 - 8 score for the 5th round this is why people that have bet for Shevchenko is furious about it and even though I have bet for Grasso I really think that Valentina deserves this win, well I got to admit this fight is full of Bias for sure, and if there will be a rematch for sure I will still go with Alexa Grasso because her camp already saw what Shevchenko can do for sure they will device some tactics against that,


Fiziev is a likable guy for sure but he can not underestimate Mateusz Gamrot sure this is really a decent Event but for the Main and Preliminary cards what can some other guys say about the other fights For sure Bryce Mitchell VS Dan Ige is great too, Marina Rodriguez VS Michelle Waterson-Gomez, Bryan Battle VS AJ Fletcher, are the fights that I am interested about and what may happen for sure these fight will be something for sure


It is really interesting but Rafael Fiziev was defeated by Justin Gaethje with a technical strike for sure Gaethje is the technical one here while Fiziev is not, and with Mateusz Gamrot sure he will be working his way to getting Rafael Fiziev in the ground, for sure

Just a little return to past fights - I remember people were talking about Strickland vs Adesanya rematch, and talked that this gonna happen soon, because of Adesanya past achievement, and they probably think that Strickland does not deserve that belt. I would suggest that Shevchenko and Grasso should make as soon as possible a rematch and end their trilogy once and for all. Imho that fight really deserves an immediate rematch more than any of fights this year.

They are both smart fighters but I think Fiziev is more well rounded. If Gamrot even bring this fight to the ground, he will struggle to keep up while Fiziev dominate the fight to which Gamrot would better prefer foot on the ground.

UFC is giving Gamrot a slow climb to the title shot but if he could beat Fiziev, he might just get the shot he needed.

I could only see this fight turn out to be boxing and Fiziev being the fast KOs Gamrot.

Yay! Finally a really exciting fight, almost guaranteed not to be boring. I'm heavily biased on this one as Gamrot is my compatriot and I like his character, but I think, objectively, he has what it takes to defeat Fiziev. Gamrot likes fighting in Las Vegas, he fought and won 5 times there, his wrestling is obviously superior to Fiziev's and he's experienced enough to withstand the pressure.
It's an important fight for both of them, winning this one will open the door to fight guys from the top 5, meaning big money fights.

That's a decent main event imho.  And Fiziev is one of my favorite guys in the roster since he beat Marc Diakesse as the underdog a couple of years ago but man...  Going against Gamrot for 5 rounds could be a tall order.  Fiziev wil prolly look good at the first couple of rounds of the match.  But as the match progresses into the championship rounds, he has a tendency of slowing down.  That's where Gamrot could take over and wear on him.  Gamrot is very durable and a very good wrestler.  If more action goes to Fiziev, Gamrot's like could improve to 2.50. which is good imo.

The judge, who gave 10-8 was either in WC during whole fifth round, or is blind. Otherwise I dont understand how can he give 2 point advantage to Grasso, when she only took (or stole) last minutes of the round, while being her ass beaten in first minutes of it. Btw, the judge name is Mike Bell. And this is not the first time his decision is controversial. Due to his judgement, Blachowicz vs Ankalaev fight also has ended with a draw. But, it is Shevchenko fault there is 10-8 in last round, if she planned to return her belt, she must have ended this fight earlier. And Grasso has a lot of work to do with her coaches, if she does not plan to take so much damage again.

That Cut was really heavy damage for Grasso and if we score that it is a large thing for Valentina Shevchenko we score the cards for sure Shevchenko has scored a lot and those wrestling and submission attempts of Grasso were nothing because it were not really score-related for sure there are many people that have seen the match even though I am in Favor with Alexa Grasso and bet on her I can not depend on what I see and witness on that fight it was close but it is clear who has won aswell,


I love Cats! For sure these two kittens are fantastic and because they are so fantastic the fight was a draw and right now Valentina Shevchenko has done all that she can to win this fight but to no avail because it was a close match indeed, for sure the 1st match she underestimated Alexa Grasso but in this fight she seems very cautious now in making mistake but still even though she got some mistake it was never the same as the 1st fight for sure, so this deserve a Trilogy match for sure,


For sure you got a point it was really collaborative by the UFC and the judges  for the result to be like this for sure they didn't have any intention of letting Valentina Shevchenko in getting win in this fight for sure it was really obvious for a score to exist like that it is very suspicious indeed,

I would like to hear your comments on Edgar Chairez vs  Daniel Lacerda fight. First of all, I did not know that it is possible to watch replays and change fight results from victory into no contest. What happened, Chairez started to chock Lacerda at the fence, Lacerda's hand felt down like he is unconscious. So the ref stopped the fight. Seems that ref did right thing. But Lacerdas protested, so they went to watch replay and turned result to early stoppage. On one hand, ref should have checked fighters condition better, on the other, the fighter should have showed more action, or at least show that he is ok. But also, fighters should fight, and not pay attention to judges. While I see nothing wrong in judge action - he could have saved kid from being chocked to death.

For sure the Main Event for UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs. Shevchenko 2 ended in controversy because of the Scorecard fiasco sure this issue will not settle down that easily but we have a new event for this week

The Information was from Tapology: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/101865-ufc-fight-night

I think it happens most of the time. A champ can request a fight to be in his country and most of the time the judges sccores him favorably.

A more disappoiting fight was Kevin vs Maddalena, he was just shitting around and making it funny while his ass literally kicked. He isn't even trying to win. I bet he'd also raise his hand giving a thumbs up while getting choked.

I very much agree and also like Valentina Shevchenko's argument, this draw was given to her because it was a special Mexican holiday. They do not want to disappoint the Mexican fans hehehe. Also, how powerful is the Mexican cartel in Las Vegas?

I would agree on the split decision, however, it should be a split decision for Shevchenko. The corruption appears to be starting in the UFC also.

This fight result surely needed further investigation as the fight was so very close that Judge Mike Bell decided to make further adjustments just to make the fight a Draw or for Grasso to retain the title, but as you know Dana White and the UFC will surely defend their judges for sure that there is no anomaly with the judging but for sure the UFC wants another rematch for these two fighters as the Trilogy might be set for having such dubious result,


It was really the defense that Strickland was known about but for some reason, many are blinded that it was just simple defense and that Strickland was not doing much for sure many fans that are not really familiar with the Philly Shell defense will probably say that the fight was boring well that is on a couple of rounds after the 1st round that Adesanya got knockdown and realized that he is screwed and this is also the reason why the Floyd Mayweather fight was also boring because it will surely run down from that defense,

Ahaha who doesn't love these cats? One's smile and the other's dance are impressive. Also, the match I watched today was one of the most enjoyable matches I have watched in a long time. I was quite surprised that the match ended in a draw. If Shevchenko had not lost his back in the last moments, I think Mosso could have won with the referee's decision. In any case, the matches between these two were going to go to the trilogy, no problem, I was not disturbed by the decision taken. Two truly noble souls fought a beautiful battle in the Mexican night. Neither of them ever thought of giving up.

Strickland has quite a strong defense and some people say that Strickland has an advantage in defending against punches making it difficult for Adesanya to knock him down but Adesanya fans don't believe it and think it all just bullshit because they want Adesanya to win too much.
At the start of the fight Adesanya still looked stable in his attacks even though he fell in the first round in the final seconds but he managed to get up and was saved by the sound of the bell.

I'm sure Adesanya will definitely come back and be ready to win the title that from Strickland.
But by the way if Adesanya is willing to not fight for at least 1 year and train hard to improve his physique and improve his fighting style maybe moving up to a higher class would be very interesting.

There will be a 3rd fight. If I am to score it Shevchenko seems to have made it especially because she caused Grasso's cut and made a significant heavy blow. By discounting the knees made by Grasso while Shevchenko's hand touches the ground, it would appear Chenko won the fight.

There is no way the 5th could be 10-8 but I guess they consider giving the favor to Grasso after all it is Mexico's independence day so let it be settled in the 3rd match.   
They were right about the fight, it's the most exciting yet.

WOW! The fight was a draw your prediction lost on victory over Valentina Shevchenko and for sure this will be a trilogy your prediction on the Immediate Trilogy has come true,

Now the results of my bet and prediction for the UFC Fight Night

Alexa Grasso VS Valentina Shevchenko ROUND 5 DRAW - VOID

It was a close match for sure and it is true that Valentina Shevchenko did a great job in this fight but the fight still is a close match there is no room for making an error both capitalized but both didn't back down in getting the fight this great actually I have bet for Alexa Grasso but Valentina Shevchenko might have won this fight and am not convinced with the judge's decision, that is why this is a controversial fight for sure and this is surely needed an immediate rematch because the result is not really convincing in addition with this is the score cards for the of Mike Bell on the 5th round where Grasso has 10 and Valentina got 8 where the only 8 points that she got, so this is surely needed an investigation and an immediate rematch,

Kevin Holland VS Jack Della Maddalena ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST

Another close match and sure I never expected that Jack Della Maddalena could stop the takedowns of Kevin Holland for sure Holland gave up on those takedowns when Maddalena defended his takedowns for me Holland badly needed the wrestling as Jack Della Maddalena's striking was so explosive and was accurate for sure that Kevin Holland still managed to fight and hang on up to the end, but for sure many didn't like the result of the fight

Raul Rosas Jr. VS Terrence Mitchell ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN

Raul Rosas Jr. was a beast and he never backed down on exchanging punches Terrence Mitchell also exchanged punches with the kid but surely the chin of Rosas never backed down even though Mitchell got him with a solid one Raul Rosas just kept the pace and returned with a heavy blow, and it was a shocking round 1 finish for sure I want to see this kid in more fights for sure,

The judging was shady and there should be some sort of investigation into how they scored the bout as there is no way Alexa Grasso is winning the 5th round 10 - 8 and if not for that stupid judging decision Valentina Shevchenko would have retained the title. Now the UFC needs to reschedule the fight once again as it was a really close fight and i was surprised with the striking of Alexa Grasso and overall it is one of the best fights in Women MMA.

It was a decent event from top to bottom except for the JDM vs Holland match which I thought was gonna be fight of the night.  :/  Not sure why Holland didn't get some grappling in.  

A couple of take aways from the event...  I think Blanchfield could own both Shev's and Grasso's asses and JDM could lose his next match vs another ranked guy.  He'll prolly fight Geoff Neal next..?
