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.  

Edit:  The Multi Master is on just now.  Let's go get it!

UFC on ESPN 48:  Multi Master Challenge

Emmett's eyes were so swollen, I guess he saw no light in the end By the way, if you do trash talk, like he died, then you should back your words up like Conor did before he started coke and parties, otherwise you should shut your mouth.

That would be a very good and interesting fight, I would love to see that!

I knew Topuria would win and I bet on him, I was 100% confident but when I was watching the match, I really couldn't imagine that he would win via decision. Topuria just brutally destroyed his face, credit to Emmett for not giving up too!

^  Yup credit to the guy who took Topuria via decision.  No one else itt considered it before the event and seeing the match's over - under was lined at 2.5 rounds with the under slightly juiced.  

That's why I love MMA betting so much even if it's just betting for small amounts of money.  The Topuria via decision at 10 was like finding a memecoin that you def know would pump soon.

Yup! That is just how the UFC is doing things not it is so much different from when the UFC first started when there is no wrestling back then and so the Legendary Royce Gracie was born and fought 4 fighters in a row, back then but that is on the old UFC, well the heavyweight division is likely changing and we are having wrestlers now in the Heavyweight or a well-rounded fighter like Tom Aspinall, then fight back then that only last 1 round because Heavyweights tend to finish their opponent in 1 punch only or 1 strike,


Maycee Barber's win is a surprise for me aswell, but it was a great fight for a woman's division fight, it was brutal, while Topuria had a masterclass performance donating Emmett it is also good that Josh Emmett had a decent chin and durability but Topuria isn't really giving his heavy strike to Emmett because Emmett is always throwing those heavy overhand punch, and just like you I also thought that this fight will end up in submission because I also bet for a KO or Submission win for Ilia Topuria that lost,

Yup, looks like the Maycee Barber we've come to know before the Modafferi loss is back.  And not just that, watch her post fight interview...  The bitchiness is back.  Lol.  But it's just gonna get harder for her from here on out after Ribas.  I mean to get a title shot, she'll have to go through the likes of Blanchfield, Fiorot and Talia Santos.  Winning against besides these three might not put her in contention for the belt imho.

Overall a decent event.  Next event not so much.  Lol.  But better than nothing...

I only had losses, I put the David Onama vs Gabriel Santos fight on my parlay, I bet on Gabriel Santos to win the fight, I confess that I was very indecisive about betting on this fight, I spent hours thinking but with so many things I needed to do the rest of the day so I ended up having to bet on Gabriel Santos to win the fight and then leave the house, but it was a mistake I made, the guy lost and ruined my multibet bet. I should have bet on David Onama

I hope that in the next event I will be able to do better, this time I will be more patient and dedicate more time to analyze which will be the best fight to put on my parlay, when there are events with very famous fighters there are always more predictable fights and with that I end for putting up a lot of fights and it comes out with a really big odd and I get it right. That's why I'm going to start being more patient and taking a good look at the fights I'll bet on to avoid having losses like the one I had

There was nothing special in previous UFC event but I liked main event and I was litle surprised with Maycee Barber KO win.
Ilia Topuria is now on a really nice run and he has perfect MMA record 14-0, so he is starting to be serious contender in featherweight category.
I expected him to win by submission but decision win is still and he was very dominant in this fight, now UFC needs to think about his next opponent, but Topuria said he would fight Holloway.

I understand that and indeed fighters can't fight more often in a championship or a certain event unless there is a rematch challenge maybe this can happen in a not long term.
Actually there are several other fighters who are really my favorite fighters but for the greatest has retired because of his father's wish to retire from fighting in the second UFC he has done the fight a few months ago and still long to wait for the next fight so it's only waiting for Aspinall later.
I love watching and betting on UFC events but I can't favorite all fighters.

A great winning for the UFC on ABC 5 but with the win I also got a losing bet,

Josh Emmett (3.70) VS Ilia Topuria (1.28) - WIN

With this win, Ilia Topuria is near to taking a title fight match, and with this recent win he is 1 step closer to fighting Alexander Volkanovski, but 1st Yair Rodriguez is an interesting fighter aswell and with the upcoming main event the Volkanovski VS Rodriguez fight we can surely see another great fight for sure, and with this Josh Emmett fight Ilia Topuria has shown that he is the dominant fighter but for sure I want to see another fight for Topuria and maybe I want to see who have the most dominant boxing Ilia Topuria or Max Holloway,



Amanda Ribas (1.50) VS Maycee Barber (2.60) - LOST

This is a frustrating loss for me but still a great fight to watch both these girls deserves the performance of the night but Maycee Barber was the only one that got the price of $50,000 Bonus it was a solid win for Maycee Barbers, and a close match indeed but Barbers has gotten the KO to win so it is her prize money,



The Prices for the UFC on ABC 5: Emmett vs. Topuria

FIGHT OF THE NIGHT
Josh Emmett vs. Ilia Topuria   |   $50,000 bonus to each fighter

PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT
Amanda Ribas vs. Maycee Barber   |   $50,000 bonus to Barber

PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT
David Onama vs. Gabriel Santos   |   $50,000 bonus to Onama

That is why I have gotten $100 more bucks into my bet because I know Ilia Topuria will  win this, well it is not a submission win or a TKO, but it was a master class win for Ilia Topuria, but it was a sure win for Ilia Topuria, and Josh Emmett is really durable and even with that much damage taken from Topuria but maybe because it is not a high damaging punch from Topuria it was only jabbed,

---

Results for my bet and picks for the UFC Fight Night Emmett VS Topuria, I won the Topuria Betting where I put a large sum of money, and lost the Topuria winning KO or Submission, losing the Amanda Ribas bet, but won the Tabatha Ricci fight,

Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria ROUND 5 DECISION  - WIN

Well after seeing this masterclass boxing from Ilia Topuria I can say that Ilia Topuria is not the same as Yair Rodriguez, Yair has those high kicks but I always thought that Topuria has those kicks aswell but right now he is showing great boxing shoulder defense amazing, from ost of the overhand punch of Emmett, Josh Emmett punches is pretty much obvious Ilia Topuria can clearly see it all, he can read Josh Emmett the whole fight it was a dominant Ilia Topuria fighting Emmett for me all round was for Topuria, but 1 judge have given 1 round to Josh Emmett which is ridiculous,

Amanda Ribas VS Maycee Barber ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

This fight for the Woman Flyweight was a brutal Bloody mess but it was a spectacular fight any of them can win this fight but Maycee Barber has thrown most of the strikes to Ribas, it was a spectacular fight Amanda Ribas have thrown 3 takedowns but only was successful but Maycee Barber have shown good defense with those submission attempts
from Amanda Ribas,

Tabatha Ricci VS Gillian Robertson ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

And Tabatha Ricci was amazing she have thrown more strikes than Robertson, at 1st it was a close match but Ricci have find her momentum with her takedowns she have thrown 8 takedowns that eventually find 3 of them successful while Gillian Robertson throws only 4 and just 1 success surely takedown defense of Tabatha Ricci is more successful, it was a crazy fight but Tabatha Ricci was amazing with her performance she surely outperform Gillian Robertson

Don't you think 1.28 is not worth betting unless you are putting a big amount into it?  28$ for 100$ risk is not for some of us. It's close to having a winning situation though which I guess people will be betting more than $100.

Topuria will likely end this fight by submission as he is known to have done it countless times. Topuria, Ilia By Submission however only has 2.80 odds.
I'll just pick by Decision for few $ bet

I don't blame you Ranking sometimes are bunkers and never right sometimes but Josh Emmett is at Rank 5 because he got there 1st and so Ilia Topuria now had a chance in getting it from Josh Emmett, for me if Yair Rodriguez can not beat up Alexander Volkanovski, then Ilia Topuria is in for that title shot,

---

My pick and bet for the UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs. Topuria

Josh Emmett (3.70) VS Ilia Topuria (1.28)

Both Emmett and Topuria are well-rounded with the stand-up and the ground game, for sure this is one great fight to watch but Ilia Topuria is clearly the most like to win here, for me Ilia Topuria got the fight IQ and durability in withstanding against Emmett's strikes I surely see Topuria can shake off a huge strike from Emmet then retaliates with a strike of his own, or being more well rounded in the ground for me the level of knowledge of Topuria in the ground is vast so Emmett will likely have a hard time for sure, so my pick is Ilia Topuria,



Amanda Ribas (1.50) VS Maycee Barber (2.60)

Clearly, it is hard to predict who's going to win in this fight, but Maycee Barber has proven her worth by winning against Jessica Eye and Andrea Lee I badly want her to fight Erin Blanchfield but it got canceled when Erin Blanchfield got a great win against Molly McCann, and Jéssica Andrade, but for me, Amanda Ribas got a great style and taking on Viviane Araujo and winning it for me has some great thing for her for me I will be giving a go with the bet for Amanda Ribas,

Well, UFC rankings are just a guide, well it could be reliable at times but it is on you if you trust it 100% because as I have said it is just a guide but surely you are going to provide your own validation on the fighters well it is for if rankings are nothing for you but for some, it is just guided, Emmett is on the Rank 5 because he has shown great wins over Dan Ige, and Calvin Kattar those two is on the peak of the rankings and that Josh Emmett have shown greater skills than them to prove his on the top 5 but surely Ilia Topuria is in a different league but he is only on Rank 9 because he is previously showing us what he is capable of, but it is your own account if you would rely on rankings or not,


I feel the same if only Tom Aspinall can fight every day, but surely a fighter just can fight once every 6 months or 2 fights for a year, it is just not possible those fighter's bodies will surely breakdown, and they need to heal their body first before getting into a fight again, but because we can not see our favorite fighters for this upcoming event I surely look for alternative fighters that could surely quench that longingness that I have for that certain fighter, try to find an alternative to it,

---

Now my bet and picks for the upcoming UFC event, and because I don't really like most of the fights I am going with my fighting kittens and hoping for the best,

Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria

The stake odds for this fight are 3.70 for Emmett and 1.28 for Topuria, For me the level of comparison for these two fighters is so much far away, Ilia Topuria is crazily good with his age, for me this is going to be a close fight on the start but if Ilia Topuria saw an opening he will surely blow out Emmett, we can see if Josh Emmett manage to knockout Topuria, Ilia Topuria will simply get back up as nothing had happened then Topuria will get back that tenfold with a Knock out or a submission just like what he does, I have bet an Ilia Topuria win and winning this fight with a KO or Submission win,

Amanda Ribas VS Maycee Barber

The stake odds for this fight are 1.50 for Ribas and 2.60 for Barber, Surely it is hard to predict a woman fight but Amanda Ribas is very durable for me Ribas has great striking sure her accuracy but for me her takedowns are superb surely Maycee Barber also has some takedown game but for me, Amanda Ribas is much advance with her game for sure this is going to be a win for Amanda Ribas,

Tabatha Ricci VS Gillian Robertson

The stake odds for this fight are 1.74 for Ricci and 2.11 for Robertson, Both of these girls have shown great talent with their submission but who has the real leveled submission game, for me that record of Ricci is superb but his experience of Robertson is proven to have come a lot, but for me, this is going to be a close match and the first to give the submission a armbar will be the winner, and looking at their previews fight and both are armbar, this is going to be a win as a submission win, for me I will be going with Baby Shark Tabatha Ricci,

I looks more like the match makers are giving Aspinall an easy one especially with what happened in his last bout when he went against Blaydes.  It was a weird one.  I think Aspinall went in there with a slight knee injury but brushed it off.  But then it popped in the worst place it could ever be...  In the cage during an actual match.  :/

Anyway, here are the weigh in vids and the results.  We have a couple ones who missed weight with one ending in a cancellation.

UFC on ABC 5 - Multi Master Challenge
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-on-abc-5-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5456992

I can't wait to see my hero get another win in the octagon.
Aspinall has been one of my go-to fighters and I never miss his fights.
Sorry if I'm too early to announce events that are still coming in the next month.

For the current event that will take place I see a lot of people who like it but to be honest I'm not quite awake to the fight and maybe later I'll just watch the main card and bet in the fight that I can predict later.

I never ever look at UFC ranking, it means nothing to be honest.

Topuria is a very good fighter, I even would say that he is very underrated. But Topuria beating Volkanovski? Especially as he said, finishing him in the first round? No way, man! Volkanovski is a wolf, the beast. By the way, their fight would be interesting but you know what fight will be even more interesting? Alexander Volkanovski versus Merab Dvalishvili. This Dvalishvili is an animal too that doesn't get tired. His performance when he fought Yan, was amazing. But Volk and Merab are in different weight classes.

Hahaha Sorry about the girls mate they are lovely nah?

Well, speaking of Alistair Overeem last time I checked he won his kickboxing match on Glory Collision 4, against Badr Hari via unanimous decision but later turned in a No Contest due to Overeem getting positive for Performance-enhancing Drugs, which is a bummer because it was his 1st match on Glory and then he now became a thin bum right now but for now I think he doesn't have any upcoming fights maybe he was suspended for using Performance-enhancing Drugs, but there is no news yet,


Well, you look excited bout the upcoming London fight, well which is not right now, but we are in the depths of making picks for the current UFC Fight Night because we don't have many that are interested in the latest events, but well for the upcoming event I think this Aspinall vs. Tybura is going to be on July 22, and I am really excited in Tom Aspinall's return but before this, we will be having the UFC 290 Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez and I think that was a huge event to have but you are skipping the good part, hehe but I can not blame you if you are a big Aspinall or Tybura fan, but right now I would like to say at least let the current event finish,

Will be making my picks later,

I am excited for big heavyweight fight Justin Tafa vs Austen Lane and I am expecting someone to win with KO, this is going to be fun watching.
It is strange to see that Neil Magny is not in the main card but this is not the first time UFC is making strange decisions.
Here are my predictions for main card:

Ilia Topuria win by submission.
Amanda Ribas win by decision.
Austen Lane win by KO.
David Onama
Brendan Allen
