Next weeks event seems to be boring for me. My eyes barely catches any familiar name or someone I should definitely gonna watch fighting. I think I would better focus on IIHF games, as there play-off games are about to start. Definitely gonna prevent from placing a bet on next UFC event and event that comes after. Would better save (to lose more ) for UFC 289 and win with Oliveira Or I would watch a fight you would suggest me.

Luck was really on my side that time.
Actually, the fight you are waiting for is UFC 290 with the main card VOLKANOVSKI VS RODRIGUEZ which will unite the featherweight classes with the return of VOLKANOVSKI to his division after being defeated by Islam Makhachev but before that VOLKANOVSKI has an unbeaten fight record and his first defeat against Islam Makhachev.
For RODRIGUEZ himself he is the interim title holder at featherweight after beating Josh Emmett.
And these two fighters have pretty good fighting strength so it will be very exciting to watch but hard to predict who will win.

I am also comfortable with my bets on UFC and MMA mostly than with other sports because there are some spots that with the other sports it is very unpredictable and sometimes can surprise us, mainly my NBA bet for the Golden State Warriors are all ruined just because of the many free throws given for the Lakers anyway that is for another topic,

I really don't know if Dana White has some critical thinking not all the time the fight ends with a knockout or a submission finish but discrediting Walker's good and dominating performance towards the fight is something laughable and I think Johnny Walker is going towards a more technical approached than being aggressive all the time, if the result is a win that is OK kind of thing, for me Johnny Walker is in the right path ignore Slaver White, if he thinks differently,

Jailton Almeda is a threat to the Heavyweight division for sure, and I think he is not ready for Jon Jones yet, for me a good match-up for Jailton Almeda is Alexander Volkov, Tom Aspinall if Tom returns fully healthy from his injury, and Curtis Blaydes for sure Jon Jones will be fighting Stipe Miocic or Sergei Pavlovich depending on their initial talks,

Info was from Tapology: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/98571-ufc-fight-night

I had a very good weekend with my UFC and MMA predictions, unlike betting on other sports with terrible results, so it pays off to mix different sports sometimes.
This was OK event, nothing special to see, Johnny Walker won again Anthony Smith but slave master Dana White was not impressed with his performance  
Jailton Almeida won like most people expected and he is on nice run with four wins in a row, maybe he is getting closer to title contender fight.

It is your loss for not wanting that Juicy I mean hard to get the body of Jessica Rose Clark you got a great partner with her I can surely assure you of that, Although that kitten that you have shown truly is really cute, well we had different wants and don't and there are probably a wall there that you are leaping here and I got respect to that,

Well Aljo and O'Malley fight definitely we will see it maybe this year, but I think it is already on the horizon so let's just wait,

---

I totally missed betting for this event I was busy attending my brother's wedding so yeah I totally forgot about the event, and the event was too early aswell, but I got hints and watch some recap of the fight, Man the Prospects are getting good beating up the older guys,

Jailton Almeida VS Jairzinho Rozenstruik

In this fight, I am going to bet on a submission win over Jailton Almeida and because the odds are too high for Almeida it could become not profitable, but this fight was really that fast and Jairzinho Rozenstruik looks easy for Jailton Almeida this is something that needs to be addressed in the Heavyweight division there aren't too many wrestlers and now that we got Jailton Almeida in the Heavyweight this will surely change everything, he will surely dominate every fight and in this fight, we can see that Almeida eventually throws a left that Rozenstruik will defend but it was all faint to get into a double leg takedown but Almeida eventually got into the leg and he would be tripped Rozenstruik sideway to get him to the ground and as we can see on the ground I notice that Jairzinho Rozenstruik was constantly looking at his corner he is waiting for instructions he doesn't know what he is going to do with Almeida, and that is a problem with many heavyweights those scrumble in the ground they don't have much defence or answer with those stumble on the ground,

Johnny Walker VS Anthony Smith

Johnny Walker was so much more athletic than Anthony Smith, and Smith was really having a hardtime against Walker and so much even though it is not a submission or a KO/TKO win it is still a win for Johnny Walker and it is a tremendous fight for Walker he sure capitalized with his advantage given Smith a hard time and pressuring him with those kicks, and that flying knee was the thing for Walker now and because of his athleticism it was proven a great one to be executed by Walker Perfect timing,

Nice wins you got there, I miss the event so I haven't made any bets and predictions for this event and the fight started early I am not aware of it, but I will be ready for the next event,

Tim Means VS Alex Morono - Tim Means looks huge than Morono, but when they fight it was a good fight on that 2nd round when Morono goes on a spinning back fist Means get into a takedown position but Morono is always ready for this and gets in position to that Guillotine, that is when the time Alex Morono got the win,

Carlos Ulberg  VS Ihor Potieria - Carlos Ulberg got a strong striking that his Opponent keeps on coming down and he will be a big problem to this Division for a new figthers that will come,

Ian Machado Garry VS  Daniel Rodriguez - Ian Machado Garry's Body kick was hurting D Rod so much and this was to set up D Rod for that high kick, and when Garry executed it the timing was right D Rod though it was a body shot it goes to his head that causes him a knockout it was great timing for that to execute,

But I am waiting for. UFC 289, for co-main event fight between Oliveira and Dariush. Both are skilled in bjj and muai thai. If there are no doubts that Oliveira deserves high positions in top, then I have questions to Dariush. He is on series of victories, but his opponents were not of the best of division. That is why I dont understand why he is so high in rating, as he hasnt been fighting ranked guy mostly.

I won these three fights with pretty decent Odds because I can use the wins to bet on the next day.


For VOLKANOVSKI VS RODRIGUEZ the fight will be held on July 8 2023, but these two fighters have pretty good fighting performance so it might be difficult to predict which one is stronger and can win so there is doubt whether I will bet on the fight or not.

It was a great call, I follow it and put $22 on in to get $51 back


I watch the 3 of them, and really enjoy it, is hast to find those easy money fights but today was the right day to print money with UFC. And Almeida by submission was an easy call too, I should add that one to the parlay because that fight alone was a x1.75 but for that point, I was happy with my profit and didn't bet more.

The UFC event that I'm waiting for now is the UFC 290, "VOLKANOVSKI VS RODRIGUEZ" I know it still a long time for it, but it will be an awesome event. I will bring my prediction when we get there but still a 2 months wait for it.

I totally missed giving my prediction was super busy and had something important to attend to that is why I missed 1 day,


It was a dominating win for Jailton Almeida he surely presses on with the takedowns 1st attempt was a failure but the 2nd one was just to give Rozenstruik a push then goes Rozenstruik tumbling down and from there on a superb fight for position Surely is Rozenstruik doesn't give his back to Almeida he will eat the ground and pound of Jailton Almeida but Rozenstruik was pretty much tense his corner was kept on telling him to calm down but because he panics he gave his back to Almeida then there goes the rear naked choke win for Almeida,


Johnny Walker's leg kicks were hurting Anthony Smith so badly and just like Walker said if you don't defend them it will hurt so much, for me that was an impressive fight for Walker surely he has done so much to finish off Anthony Smith but Anthony Smith was so slick at dogging and as his nickname says the Lion Heart he still not a pretty good chin withstanding the flying knee of Walker, but because Johnny Walker was giving Smith a hard time the judges have given him this fight,

The main event concluded earlier than expected, Jailton Almeida is becoming a force to reckon in the Heavyweight division with his submission win against Jairzinho Rozenstruik and if he could maintain a couple of high profile wins he could fight for the title.

Johnny Walker was brutal with his leg kicks and Anthony Smith had no answers and it was a boring fight to be honest but Johnny Walker was in complete control over the fight and it looks like it is time for Anthony Smith to retire and concentrate on broadcasting duties .

in my opinion the funniest moments of the UFC are when they go to the weigh-in, it's unbelievable the things that each fighter does, they even seem to practice all the choreography they'll do when it's time to ridicule their opponents, the moments that made me the most laughing was when I saw Ihor Potieria and Carlos Ulberg, Carlos Ulberg with that outfit that looks like the collars of the Indians and Ihor Potieria with the Ukrainian flag painted on his face, it looked like the two fighters were going to a presentation of arts, the most tense moment was when Ji Yeon Kim met Mandy Bohm, why do UFC women tend to show more anger at weigh-ins? it looks like they're going to war

I was hoping that Matt Brown and Court McGee would star in something more intense, but it all went pretty smoothly, considering Matt Brown said:


source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2NUoGWe6_w

I thought Matt Brown would come and make some joke against Court McGee to piss him off and then it would cause some discomfort when facing each other, but they were so calm, they didn't even make any movements, they looked like two statues that were facing each other, no I know if it was a disguised calm, but we'll see in their fight who was victorious. By the way, there are only 7 minutes left for the Mandy Bohm vs Ji Yeon Kim fight to happen, I'm watching right now, I'll watch it for a few minutes because I'm very curious

^  Ian Garry is the better guy and the rightful favorite but the match could be closer than the line suggests.  Could be a 15 minute sweat if you bet big.    But I'm rooting for you.

Anyway here are the weigh in results.  Three guys missed weight but one match was changed into a catch weight bout.

Jailton Almeida (231) vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik (265)
Anthony Smith (205.5) vs Johnny Walker (205.5)

UFC on ABC 4 - Multi Master Challenge
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-on-abc-4-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5452019

The UFC Main Card Spectrum Center (ESPN+) brings together some great fighters.
Unfortunately I can't bet on Rozenstruik vs Almeida because these two fighters have pretty good fighting skills so I'm a little hesitant to choose one of them.
But there are fighters that I rely on and hopefully can win the fight later.
The heavyweight and light heavyweight classes are quite an exciting battle to watch because each fighter has powerful punches so it feels adrenaline rushing when you see the fighters throwing punches at each other.

Here are the 3 fighters I bet on this fight and hopefully it will bring me good luck.

Cute Kittens though, 

I prefer those Kittens aswell, well, those muscle is surely needed by that woman because they are fighters and we all have our preferred difference, but I like your kittens mostly 

I think I have posted that here well many days before, but here is the unconfirmed Rumor in Tapology https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/101022-ufc-292

There are only 2 available fights Aljamain Sterling VS Sean O'Malley and Cody Garbrandt VS Mario Bautista, which will be on August 19, if Tapology's Rumor is correct, and because we have this the fight will surely happen,

and with the Cejudo rankings,  that was sick those people that are ranking this and ignoring most of the fighters on the top, just as Henry Cejudo return to the UFC, the Funk Master outsmart him that is all,


Anything can happen Jairzinho Rozenstruik can surely have ground immunity with his Weight you need the Weight Jairzinho Rozenstruik is 48 lbs heavier than Almeida which was insane what if Jailton Almeida can not carry Rozenstruik or take him down because of his weight, but as the saying goes the bigger they are the harder they fall but that is not the heavier they are the harder the fall, but maybe if Almeida can manage to bring this fight to the ground there is a chance,

That I believe will also happen. Easy to imagine Roz throwing a punch unbalanced Almeida and then finishing the fight with a hammer fist.

But because the odds are so close, it's possible Almeida could pull this up. Submitting someone as big as Roz will take a lot of strength but Almeida had done it several times, he can punch and submit big guys.

Matt Brown - Court McGee

It's a fight between two fighters at a very advanced age who started their professional career many years ago, so I predict it will be a fight with a slower pace, a lot of caution involved, Matt Brown is 42 years old and started his career in 2005, made 42 fights with 23 wins and 19 losses. It's not a very impressive statistic, but he has 15 wins by knockout, 6 by submission and 3 by decision while his opponent Court McGee is a little younger than him, he also has less fight than him, Court McGee has 32 fights being that he won in 21 fights and lost in 11 fights, he also had few wins by knockout, there were only 5 wins per notacute, in my opinion Matt Brown can surprise and win, both fighters are not a big attraction for Dana White that's why one of them could see their contract terminated

Karl Williams - Chase Sherman

Karl Williams is 33 years old and has only had 9 fights, very strange for his age, but the fact is that he won 8 fights and lost in only 1 fight, with 5 wins by decision and 3 wins by knockout, he has been performing well in striking, while Chase Sherman, who is also 33 years old, has 27 fights, winning 16 fights and losing 11 fights. he has 15 wins by knockout and 1 win by decision. he also has grappling as his weakness and striking as his strength. since Chase Shermanen entered the UFC he only had 2 wins in the 7 fights he had, it's not a good performance, that's why a loss here probably in the near future he can be taken out of the UFC

^ ^ ^  Ok ok...  Let's not get too distracted with the kitties guys.    Nice to have a change of pace itt in between PPV events tho.  


As posted by somebody a page back, the match between Sterling and O'Malley is already booked for UFC 292.  So that's a break of three months for the champ.  I guess not enough time for a full recovery but that's prolly good for the match as it could tip the scale a bit towards O'Malley's favor.  A fully recovered Sterling would prolly get a win via sub at R2 or something early.  Lol.  

...  The main event is under 1.5 rounds lined at 1.49??  I know Roz could KO anybody in one round but could Almeida finish Roz via sub in one round?

The only fighting kittens I prefer. Warning, viewers discretion is advised, as there is a KO.



Not interested in woman MMA, probably never saw a full round of any fight. Just not mine. All those chicks are not in my taste. All those wide backs, huge shoulders, muscles (tbh I am just scared of them lol ).

Aljo vs O'Malley - I wonder when this fight is going to happen. Aljo just fought and probably will rest for 4-6 months, Sean last fight was in October 2022 against Yan, so this is a huge pause for him if he fights Aljo next. Sean must have a fight in few months imho.

Funny how Henry Cejudo jumped into bantamweight ranking to top3 after 3 years pause and moved everyone back

Have you seen the latest fight of Cory Sandhagen his style looks surely different it's like he is a new character in a fighting game his style and technique are pretty much amazing and right now he has a ground game now and against Marlon Vera that I think Marlon Vera would win this but Sandhagen just mauled Marlon Vera I was really shocked on how great the takedown of Sandhagen he surely is a different fighter on that fight, so it is an exciting fight if he's going to be the one,

WOW! seeing another great episode on Netflix but I don't really know if it's 100% accurate to McGregor's story let's see on May 17, if can we see,


Definitely, I wish you can give your prediction, and just like you I really think O'Malley will be read by Aljo, so much from his movement and his habit that is how Sterling beat Cejudo, and for that fight, Aljamain Sterling has purposely used 1 rule of the UFC that wasn't on any MMA organization and Aljamain Sterling has been using it on his advantage that is how Sterling he is using something on his advantage, in the first fight of Sterling VS Yan, Aljamain is using the ground so much to his advantage,


I love it @kittieswatchers hahaha well Jessica Rose Clark has decent striking and Tainara Lisboa also is striking so this is a stand-up fight but I would like to teach Jessica Rose Clark some ground game for her to have an edge on fighters that has the same caliber as her striking but sure enough, it could surely give her some ground base game at her disposal aswell, well that is if I am Jessica Rose Clark's trainer but let's just wait and see if how well our Figting kitty has grown,
