Topic: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread - page 137. (Read 93489 times)

today we have a lot of fights, but I decided to bet on the fights of the obvious favorites, I don't know if I'll get it right, but I decided to try my luck. I put Kutateladze in my multibet bet, Kutateladzevai will fight Brenner and in my opinion, Kutateladzevai will come out victorious in this fight, the odds for this fight are not very attractive, being that there is @1.14 in favor of Kutateladzevai, but adding on my parlay I got a decent odd. another fight I added was Joanderson's fight against Westin, I bet on Joanderson with odds of @1.07. I think that with such a low odd value and looking at the performance of these two fighters it makes a lot of sense to bet on Joanderson

Of course, with these very low odds in favor of the favorites, I had no choice but to add them to my parlay, but even so, I still didn't get a decent odd, which is why I had to put them together with the boxing matches, which are also many fights, I hope I can be lucky to hit this bet since there are many fights that I added. now talking a little about other fights that I didn't bet on, Karol against Yana, I see karol winning this fight, it won't be an easy fight because the two fighters don't come from a good moment, but even so I think that karol wins this fight

My bet and prediction for the fight for the UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov

Sean Strickland VS Abus Magomedov

The Stake odds for this fight are 1.65 for Strickland and 2.24 for Magomedov, For this fight I don't really want to hear Sean Strickland talk anymore so this could be a biased thing I could say, but for me, Abus Magomedov is pretty much well rounded I have seen his recent fights not only in the UFC because that is stunning I have seen his fights on PFL and other fights in his previous Combat sports, his striking surely can shift and he can surely fight intelligently and has a great head movement while striking, and the best frontal kicks that Strickland will have a problem, even if he catches those kick Abus Magomedov has good takedown defense and could stop Strickland takedowns while holding Abu's feet, for sure he can decide a variety how he can end Strickland, But I can not say that Strickland is not like that but Abus Magomedov is kind of an advance fighter entering the UFC, so my pick is Abus Magomedov,

Damir Ismagulov VS Grant Dawson

The Stake odds for this fight are 1.89 for Ismagulov and 1.92 for Dawson, For Damir Ismagulov comes from a loss from Arman Tsarukyan but that was a great fight and we know how good Arman Tsarukyan is, for Damir Ismagulov it was a hard fight for him while Grant Dawson, is a great fight and that is all I can sat for him and he is still improving but the Speed of Damir Ismagulov can be seen in this fight for me Ismagulov has a much better striking than Dawson, he also had great takedowns against Arman Tsarukyan, so for me even though Ismagulov only had 1 submission win I really think he has great wrestling than Dawson aswell, and he doesn't have an issue while fighting taller guys than him and for him, he is using it on his advantage while striking, so my pick is Damir Ismagulov,
 
Ariane Lipski VS Melissa Gatto

The Stake odds for this fight are 2.90 for Lipski and 1.42 for Gato, In this fight, we can see that Ariane Lipski had solid striking for me she will give better output in striking and will be better on her feet against Gatto, and has a good takedown defense her fight on JJ Aldrich she have used those takedown defense on her advantage then punishing JJ Aldrich on striking, while Melissa Gatto is much stronger because of her Physique so her takedowns could be easy against Ariane Lipski wrestling will be her main bread and butter in this fight she got striking but she can not fight this with the stand-up against Lipski, for me both of this girl is a fighting kitty, but Ariane Lipski has a much higher level in my list and in my heart, and I am torn on who's to bet because Melissa Gatto is one crazy lady, but I think I may risk it by going with Ariane Lipski

UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov My bet and predictions,

Sean Strickland (1.65) VS Abus Magomedov (2.24)

For this fight, Sean Strickland is a real Deutschbag sorry for the word but this is how I describe him an arrogant dick head, well for me Sean Strickland really has the power to knock out his opponent he can surely go to the ground and make an exchange whoever his opponent is, but for me, because he is a Deutschbag he will surely brawl and will throw his IQ out the window for sure, while Abus Magomedov has the fighting IQ, well is Strickland doesn't like to move his head much because he wants to feel this Magomedov will strike with intelligence, and for me, Abus Kicks will be a problem of Sean Strickland, for sure while on Wrestling for me Abus Magomedov has a good showcase with his takedowns but it always finish with ground and pound but for me submission will be an option when needed for him so my pick is Abus Magomedov,



Damir Ismagulov (1.89) VS Grant Dawson (1.92 )

For this fight Damir Ismagulov is faster than Grant Dawson, in my opinion, Ismagulov also has those blitz striking where his taller opponent does have a hard time punching him because his head will be very low, Grant Dawson is a good fighter, for what I have seen he also has great striking but not as good as Ismagulov that fight with Tsarukyan was an impressive one, he also has good takedown defense for me Damir Ismagulov has a better output and power with his striking than Dawson so my pick is Damir Ismagulov,



Ariane Lipski (2.90) VS Melissa Gatto (1.42)

For this fight, Ariane Lipski could have a decent striking and also a good striking output for this fight against Melissa Gatto, but Lipski can not underestimate Gatto's durability, and striking Gatto's Greatest weapon will be her wrestling for sure while Lipski defeated Aldrich's takedowns with her takedown defense then striking but I have seen Gatto can takedown has a much advantage on wrestling and I like that, so my pick is Melissa Gatto,

That 1st fight of Abus Magomedov in UFC Paris surely is a surprising performance of his and that fight really carve its way inside my mind and never left, after his debut fight he is now fighting a ranked guy, but for me even though Magomedov is the slight underdog he is the wolves here, and Sean Strickland is going to be feed to the wolves, and Abus is a Dagestani that decided to be a striker, you really know that Abus Magomedov is a great striker and he can also get the fight to the ground that is why Sean Strickland will be terribly going to regret accepting this fight,


That front kick is a very huge problem for Strickland for sure and looking at his PFL highlights he certainly has a decent ground game, even though he got 4 losses it doesn't matter because I have seen his improvement with those recent fights he has, for me I really don't want to compare him in some fighters in the UFC because he got a unique style, for sure that Drunken punch of Strickland will not work against Abus Magomedov,


Exactly Sean Strickland will not have any defense against that front kick, or maybe there will be no front kick maybe something else, or maybe a takedown I really think Abus Magomedov is pretty much well-rounded for Sean Strickland, and for me his striking game is near Pereira, if not close at least near that caliber, for me this is just my opinion in what I have seen so far,

Well, I am expecting that if Magomedov can actually win this fight, he will get a good deal from Dana White in the future. I don’t think Dana White wants to invest in this player a lot so early on. I don’t know about the contract that he has with the UFC. But I also actually agree that it is not probably very long and if he does not find proper success here, he will move somewhere else to achieve the money that he wants.

He is aggressive. That might be a good thing. But he does not have much experience in the UFC. Professionally, he has fought well before. But lack of experience in the UFC might actually be a bad thing. I hope he does not rush and try to win the fight as fast as he can as you said

I really feel like this is gonna be a big upset. You already know by the way they stand, compare to how flatfooted Strickland is. It would be hard for Strickland to move quickly if the front kick comes.

Magomedovs gonna KO Strickland in the first round also, it will be a quick fight. He better do it quickly if he can't last 3 rounds else it will be him lying on the ground. And we'll not see him again.

^  Yeah we'll see.  It will depend on how he does with the UFC.  If he keeps on winning, he'll prolly stay as it's the pinnacle of MMA.  Most MMA fighters dream of going to the UFCin hopes of making it big.  Can't really do that in the B leagues.

Anyway, official weigh ins will start in three hours or so.  Let's see how these guys look before making your bets.

Here's Magomedov's Stoltzfus match up that we were talking about.  That front kick...  That could be the money maker.  Line is at 4.30.  That could be a fun bet.

If, if he wins Hard to predict him winning, Strickland is in top of weight division after all and Magomedov hasnt such background as Pereira for example, to compete with tops from the start. If we look on his page on Sherdog (https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Abusupiyan-Magomedov-60755) we would see that he did not stay for long in promotions, but has been jumping here and there all the time. I would say that he is in MMA only for the money, as I suppose he jumps from promotion to promotion only to earn, and as he has got many early finishes, he tries to earn as quick as possible and move on. I expect he will either have bad stamina, or will rush on Strickland and will be caught by counter strike and TKOed in first two rounds. I bet he Magomedov wont stay for long in UFC.

^  Matomedov's first opponent in the UFC, Dustin Stoltzfus, isn't really that good tho...  I think his contract wasn't renewed and he was released after the fight.  And with the 19 second KO, there isn't really much to tell how good Magomedov is.  We don't know if he has the cardio, the ground game or if he's durable enough to go toe to toe vs Strickland for 5 rounds.

And it's a huge step up in competiton.  But watching his highlights in YT, he does have decent stand up, he seems to have powerrr in those hands and his front kick could be a problem for Strickland.  If Magomedov is gonna win, it's gonna be via KO more often than not.

What are your thought about Strickland and Magomedov fight ? This is going to be Magomedovs second fight in UFC (first one he won in only 19 seconds), but he has a nice record outside UFC. If not mistaken, last time Strickland had a fight he was on a short notice and fought not in his usual division. Before that he had two hard fights. It seems that UFC is giving him an easy opponent, to make him rest. Otherwise I dont how to explain why we have practically an unranked debutant vs top7 fighter fight.

That is suicidal investing, surely betting on a coin that you don't have any given insider or knowledge while comparing this betting to investing in a MEME coin but surely did you put it there without a purpose

Anyway, It was a close try that Ilia Topuria could win with KO and Submission it really just happens, and Josh Emmett has a rock-sturdy chin that never breaks but because of Topuria's damage on him that chin on his will surely have a dent in the future it will suddenly break and don't forget father time he will eventually diminish that Dubality of his just like the Korean zombie,


Royce Gracie is already a legend and he is the most respected for sure but sure the UFC is now changed and the Mixed Martial Arts name has suddenly shifted to the course where the MMA name now has a literal purpose, and suddenly fighters now have the idea to capitalized in mixing style combining different Martial arts and techniques, this is truly what Gracie has brought up to the table within the UFC,

It seems you likely like Tom Aspinall that much and hearing that he is returning from that long recovery has made you brought his name many times now, but for me wait till you see Jailton Almeida, beating Jairzinho Rozenstruik easily,

Come on notblox1, you should be the person who knows that UFC does not work with anyone I did not expect that from you. I can suppose that he was signed for Eagle FC only for one fight, or got released from there (by his own will) because they did not offer him new fights (as he is young and already spent a year being inactive). The only think I dont understand that why he has returned to UFC, as Bellator or PFL probably could offer him more.

Eagle FC and UFC are probably working together or there was some other issues because they mostly have events in Russia.

He is not the only one who is getting paid much better in other MMA organizations.
Shane Burgos switched from UFC and signed for PFL this year and he already earned serious money in two fights, this was released in public.
It is no secret that Dana and UFC are keeping most of the profits for themselves or with Connor, and scraps are left for all other fighters.
Everyone knows about Francis Ngannou story so I don't have to repeat that, but it is not all about money.

I guess Rinat Fakhretdinov has more advantage in this one, and he will gonna dominate him in this fight based on this kind of record 20-1-0 (W-L-D), Lee is nothing to him, and this era is for them since they have some kinds of intensive training that hone them to become the stronger fighter that we ever have in this competition. If Fakhretdinov wins this fight, he may be 2 fights away to be given a chance for a championship fight because right now, fans are more interested in watching a fighter that can actually compete to give his opponent a hard time rather than a one-sided fight like we used to see in the past.

I think the UFC didn't want him to go but Kevin Lee wouldn't sign a new contract so he left for Eagle FC for supposedly big money.  Dunno...


Hah...  Not that of a good comparison with PEPE as most of the people who has known about it were the devs, the insiders and the friends of the insiders.  Everything about it might have already been planned from the start.

Anyway, I like the match up for the main event stylistically but having somebody who's unranked and had just a couple of fights in the UFC getting a main event spot against a top 10 guy in MW shows weak the weight class is...  It also shows how desperate the UFC is in getting some new blood in there.

As for your pick, I think Magomedov via KO is the way to go if you like the guy.  Can't imagine him winning via decision vs the more high volume striker in Strickland.  If I were to guess, Magomedov via KO could be around 4.50 - 5.00 which will be good value.

This is an interesting fight "Welterweight: Kevin Lee vs. Rinat Fakhretdinov". Attention on Kevin Lee. He was once in UFC, got released from it due to bad performance (lost 4 out of 5 last fights) and was signed by Eagle FC that belongs to Khabib, a fighter Kevin criticized a lot. There he fought only once, and was resigned by UFC. Kevin has lost to every more or less famous fighter, and now is back to UFC. Strange tactics by UFC.

Yes, Royce Gracie is a UFC legend with mixed martial arts Jiu-Jitsu and he is a fighter who is considered the most influential figure in MMA history.
When fighting with UFC Royce Gracie managed to become a winner at UFC 1 UFC 2 and UFC 4.
His family is also known as the consummate martial art of Jiu-Jitsu.
Everyone knows and knows him, who is nicknamed a Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter.

Now there are lots of fighters in the UFC and we can watch and favor some of those fighters like Tom Aspinall.

Investing in PEPE while no one yet knows the coin right?  

Can't remember how many times I did that and lost actually. Sometimes it's 0 out of 10 I think. It's a good thing I just put $5. I even tried Charles by KO against Islam because of the odds lol Can you imagine Submitting Yan vs Aljo? Why not. It's satisfying when I win though. Looking at Magomedov vs Strickland, both are actually good. Magomedov by KO is my pick, the options are not yet open.  Just crossing my fingers when watching it live.

Yes! It was really a risky move in betting for the Topuria via decision because most of his fights end in submission and KO the only decision he got was Youssef Zalal back on UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs. Sandhagen event, so this recent fight makes him 2 decision wins only, it was hard to predict the result but I am OK with it because I still bet for Topuria to win,


It was badly swollen I think that Ilia Topuria has given Josh Emmett a complete boxing tutorial in their fight it was total domination, Ilia Topuria is really a masterclass fighter and for me, if Topuria and Paddy Pimblett fight Ilia Topuria will win and crush Pimblett 100%, next  fight for Ilia Topuria just like you I want to also see a Max Holloway fight aswell,


Josh Emmett has solid durability and chin I can give that to him he is very durable but surely Josh Emmett is only punching overhead punches, and really committing to his punching and hoping that it could hit Ilia Topuria that is why Ilia Topuria has a good read on Josh Emmett movements and so and with that punching strategy of Emmett Topuria just needed a short ranges punches for Emmett that is mid damaging to him, that is why the fight end up in a likely decision Ilia Topuria didn't manage to try and go for a submission and risk getting his heavy approach to Emmett that he might got in the line of fire for Emmett if he did, I can say the strategy and fight IQ of Topuria was really superb,

Was thinking it would be a bad even but looking at the roster again, it isn't really that bad.  The match ups are so so but there are fun fighters to watch  up there like Guram Kutateladze, Romanov, Brito, Bonfim, Morales, Ismagulov vs Dawson will be good and the main event is a potential banger.

Watch Mavomedov's highlights and I think the UFC did a good job in getting these guys to fight as Strickland stands square in front of his opponents which makes him open to Magomedov's front kicks.  I think Magomedov is also slightly faster...  If it was just three rounds maybe he could win?  Dunno.
