That being said, I think he takes a bad loss in this next fight.

I’m a Sean O’Malley fan. I think he’s a cool dude and probably the only UFC fighter I’d really want to hang out with in real life. That being said, I think he takes a bad loss in this next fight.

Interestingly, Conor McGregor has said he’ll be fighting in December against Michael Chandler. This is the first confirmation I’ve heard of who and when he’ll be fighting. Looks like the wait is on.

But at least Adesanya has regained his belt and avenged his defeat against Alex Pereira, in the last meeting which was also at the same time Adesanya took revenge by giving 3 heavy punches to Alex Pereira's face, causing him to fall down immediately.
In my opinion, the last meeting was a pretty great fight for Adesanya and in that fight Adesanya proved to the world that he deserves to be the strongest in that class and don't try to underestimate him or even want to take the championship belt from him.
I'm not sure Strickland can survive or even beat Adesanya, maybe he will also suffer the same fate as Alex Pereira where he gets a few big punches and then goes down helpless.

Maybe it will be more interesting but isn't that just going to be more and more hot debates plus I'm sure there will be some nonsense phrases that will definitely make you embarrassed when the fight starts in the octagon.
But let's wait and see what will happen to Strickland in the future.

Would be funny if Pereira would train Strickland for a fight against Izzy Rivalry continues We know that Strickland is ready to fight anyone, but dont you think Izzy has picked an easy opponent? On the other hand, who should Izzy fight then? Vettori for the third time or Whittaker? Cannonier for the second? Costa is busy with Chimaev.

If it goes the distance I think Sterling has a more likely chance of getting the W as we've never seen O'Malley go 5 rounds.  But O'Malley's fight vs Yan looked like he wasn't tired after R3.  So he prolly has the gas tank to go all 5, who knows...  But still a question mark.

As for Sterling, what's the best strat to avoid O'Malley's powerrr?  Just do what he does best, wrestle and take his opponent's back.  Sterling via sub is at 3.05.  I think that's fair value.  But if you really wanna go for value in O'Malley, the R1, R2, and R3 propa are at 10, 13 and 18.  A KO at the early rounds is O'Malley's best chance to win.

As I posted before, I was predicting an easy win for Sterling, but now I'm having second thoughts. I still think Sterling is more likely to win, but I don't think it will be easy for him to take O'Malley down and Sean is not without a chance. If it goes to distance, O'Malley will probably win and is more likely to win by KO. So Sterling will have to find a way to win by submission.
The current odds for O'Malley are around 3.15, making it a good value bet.

Really curious on how Chris Weidman will perform against Brad Tavares. It's Weidman's first fight since that horrific injury (broken leg) in a fight against Uriah Hall.

I haven't seen the distinctive style of the Adesanya fighter since the last two fights against Alex Pereira, even though Adesanya won in the last fight but he is still recorded in history having one unfinished defeat against Alex Pereira back in 2017. But I am surprised that Strickland's next challenger will be against Adesanya and based on his history he lost against Alex Pereira and there are other defeats that it will be difficult to predict his chances of winning.

As @bittraffic said, the Pre-conference will be more interesting to watch than a real fight in the octagon as they will be fighting for recognition as the best fighter position, but I hope Strickland doesn't talk as much nonsense as he did during the UFC 276 Pre-conference, if he doesn't prove his ability to defeat Adesanya.

Dawodu def got robbed imo.  I mean the match wasn't even that really that super mega close to have an argument for Cub Swanson.  Even Swanson was surprised he won via unanimous decision.  :/  Def bad judging.

Anyway, we take our lumps then on we go to the next.  UFC 292 is stacked!  Can't wait to watch fighter replays for some of these match ups.    I'll be rooting for O'Malley but if he can't defend Sterling's TD's it's game over.

Now that the UFC Fight Night has ended, I think it is safe to say that we are moving on to a new event and I think this is the real deal of a juicy event

I have also seen such news, that finally Conor is having a fight, and his opponent gonna be Chandler. That is the fight UFC have planned for a long time ago. I think it is about time Dana or UFC bosses show who is in charge there. I think they are sick and tired when fighters choose who they want to fight, instead of choose opponents UFC give them. Even in Conor case. It is about time to show who is employer and who is employee.

Here are the results of my bet and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Luque vs. Dos Anjos

Vicente Luque VS Rafael dos Anjos ROUND 5 DECISION - WIN

Vicente Luque is really impressive in this fight he is taking his time in giving RDA and pressuring him in this fight pretty much good takedown defense and also counter those takedowns with his own takedowns, he surely was like he is not from a brain hemorrhage at all, Luque was controlling the fight and pressuring the Rafael dos Anjos in his game for sure is a great feat for Luque, for sure Vicente Luque has gotten good from his long break has many output strikes than RDA and 11 takedowns 8 was successful to RDA's 7 takedowns with just 2 being successful for sure Luque have won the fight,

Cub Swanson VS Hakeem Dawodu ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST

Cub Swanson got an emotional win and surely he deserves this I really doubt him because of his age, and for sure I am seeing Cub Swanson in a different light because of this fight but surely Hakeem Dawodu is pretty much durable, and for me because the fight was so close I really thought that Hakeem Dawodu got more strikes than Swanson, surely because of the takedown that Cub Swanson throws that must have seen by the judges with that 2 takedowns he threw, 1 was successful and I think that has done the job, for the judges to score it to Swanson,

Khalil Rountree VS Chris Daukaus ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN

Just like I have said Khalil Rountree hit like a Heavyweight, that was an insane fight, and looking at Chris Daukaus flying on the ground with those scary punches of Rountree, surely all Daukaus could do is to protect his head from that nasty punch from Khalil Roundtree, it was spectacular and a wrong move for Daukaus to go down the Division,

I think it will be easier for Adesanya to finish the battle and there will be unimaginable surprises later.
Even though Strickland is more favored than Dricus, Adesanya himself is a fighter who doesn't give up easily to be able to hold on to the championship belt in his class and destroy anyone who wants to drop his title.
Don't call him the Chinese champion because now that title is no longer valid because Adesanya has become the UFC champion for the Middleweight class.
Whoever Adesanya's opponent will definitely experience increased emotional feelings but precisely all of that can burn Adesanya's fighting spirit when in the octagon.
