Topic: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread - page 194. (Read 86976 times)

I don't know any crypto gambling website that accepts live betting on UFC and other MMA fights, but maybe you know something that I don't know.
After asking many times I got an answer from few websites that this needs a lot of extra work and they are not ready for that change right now.

I am excited to watch Bryce Mitchell vs Ilia Topuria, both of this guys have perfect MMA score so far and of them will have to spoil it this weekend.
This are my main predictions for UFC 282 that can be played in some combo, Magomed Ankalaev, Paddy Pimblett and Alex Morono all to win.

I'm upset because he's a professional and a good fighter, I know he's trained very hard and is still very eager for the belt. I'm so glad the antibiotics worked, too, because I saw that foot and never thought things were looking good. It is very normal that you do not notice early in some health conditions, I think I call it the human condition. It may be even later, but he went to the hospital on time, so at least. He's leaving the hospital tomorrow. I hope he doesn't stay too far from training because not being able to train is going to him crazy.

^  For where the lines are at, I feel like it's better to bet on Blachowicz as a decent underdog than going for Ankalev with all that chalk.  And Ankalaev is a slow starter so early rounds could work out or Blachowicz with him winning R1 and R2.

If you guys really want Ankalaev it could be good to wait til R2 ends and bet for him live.  Def don't take the chalk with where the line is at 1.35.

Here's my lottery ticket for the event.  Trying my luck again.  Lol.

Ponz - Quarantillo at 2.48
Add:  Pimblett - Salvador at 5.17
Add:  Curtis - Shabyazan - Rosas at 23.41
Add:  Mitchell - Silva - Till at 249.68
Add:  Blachowicz - Koslow - Daukas at 8613.87

Some of my notices.

Ankalaev is too quick for light heavyweight. He is extra quick at throwing jabs. He has a good head movement against single punches, or 1-2 combos. But, it was hard for him to fight against Nikita Krylov, because Krylov threw long combos.

Jan - he is strong. Jans favourite combo is a punch on a jump (usually a hook), then throw and overhand and a body punch. He simply spams that combo. This is bad and good. Good that he is a master of it, bad that his opponents know that he will do it.

Either that combo will work well against Ankalaev. Or Ankalaev will evade it with quick jabs or will catch Jan with same punch with footstep back like Thiago Santos did.

I thought his feet were a goner from that nasty Staph infection he had but right now he was released from the hospital and straight to his daughter's school play now I think we all get irresponsible at times, I know we all do and like we MMA fighters sure make mistakes and if they surely know that it will be this bad like us they will not consult a doctor 1st they will tend to do it themselves and hope it heals but yes it surely gets even worst but I think let's just give Dustin Poirier a slack on that mistake and right now I think he learned his lesson and giving him a break in enjoying the time with her daughter and family will sure give him a decent time to recover and for me giving time for his daughter is an amazing thing about him and I wish him a fast recovery


T.J. Dillashaw was a great man I know there are some issues with him in the past but I think it is just a misunderstanding with his teammates, he deserves to be in the hall of fame someday, and regarding his decision to retire on the UFC, I still wish him to fight on other fighting sports, but if this retirement of him is permanently retire in the world of MMA I surely respect that,


Hey! I always appreciate your picks and prediction in fact I appreciate all of the picks and predictions in fact I get to see each and everyone's opinion and what they think might happen regarding a fight, just like in the recent Izzy VS Alex Pereira fight we all assumed even tokeweed that Israel Adesanya will surely surprise us and he really did he really got good ground games we all think that it will be his last ace to show on the Pereira fight and I was surprised that I am not alone in thinking that Adesanya has something to show for us, just to win the fight, just like his big brother Francis Nagnnou showing great takedowns as a last resort it was an amazing thing to see and I was really still confident in putting my bet for Israel Adesanya that time, even though he lost it I was entertained and it really doesn't matter that I lost, because of what I see was an amazing fight that each and everyone here have already predicted what Izzy might do,

He’s training and fighting every day. He probably thought it was just like the thousands of other injuries he’s had in the past and didn’t think much of it. Eventually when it became clear this was something he wasn’t used to, he went to the doctor and got it fixed. I don’t think he should be criticized for not being a pussy. I’m sure if he went to the hospital for every little thing that you would, he’d live there.

I’m glad he’s responding to the antibiotics and wish him well.

He is nice guy who is approaching the end of his carrier, and I am taking bet on Ankalaev against him every day.
I don't think we are going to find good odds for straight win but maybe we could try some special bet, or bet $1 million like some guys are doing on World Cup matches... this is not my suggestion
I think this fight won't go to distance and odds are better on this.

I'm hoping Jan takes it. I like him, even though he took the zero off one of my favourite fighters (Izzy). He seems a nice guy outside of the UFC, and he's an entertaining fighter for the most part. Honestly though, I don't see him winning this one, but I'm definitely hoping to be proved wrong.

I'm probably going to miss yet another event this weekend, it's been a horrible year for watching UFC for me. I've just had too much things going on. Anyway, I will try to get predictions out regardless. I know some of you appreciate it here, even though I'm always bloody wrong.

I think bookies underestimate Blachovicz. He was a UFC champ. You dont become a champ for nothing. Blachowicz has only two losses during last 5 years. I think odds should be more or less even. Ankalaev is undefeated, but his 9-1 in UFC, and not every his opponent was from top15. Anyway, the fight is going to be great. Both have equal chances imho. Ankalaev is not that “I am from Dagestan, means I am super cool at wrestling”. He is a striker more, record proves that, but Blachovicz is better against a striker, than a submission artist.

He has a couple of recurring injuries now.  When he fought Sandhagen his knee blew up and there's his shoulder popping off vs Sterling.  And yeah, he's getting old at age 36 which is kinda old for a bantam weight.

Anyway here's a couple of vids to watch before making your bets for the Topuria vs Mitchell match up which I think should be the co main event.  This match up could also be a main event for a Fight Night imho  Both of them are wrestlers, they are ranked and both undefeated.  I got the underdog for this one in Mitchell as I think he has better wrestling than Topuria.

UFC 282 - Multi Master Challenge
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-282-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5426112

this will be a very interesting fight, Ankalaev has not lost a fight on UFC since his debut in 2018, Blachowicz is 39 years old and very good in Muay Thai and has great power in his punches and kicks and is also good in grappling, I would say that if he went to the mountains of Dagestan, he would become so strong that he could fight gorillas. Ankalaev is only 30 years old and has experience in combat sambo, he also has wrestling and kickboxing skills, perhaps he would not be ideal in the mountains of Dagestan.  but seriously, my opinion is that Ankalaev will win this fight, he's younger, he may have greater physical resistance than his opponent, he can take advantage of this big difference in age, of course the opponent is experienced and skilled and that's why this reason cannot be underestimated, but I believe that Ankalaev will win this fight and I intend to bet on Ankalaev, the odd for Ankalaev to win is @1.36 and it is not a bad thing if it is added in a parlay

Yesterday T.J.Dillashaw has announced his retirement. He has finished his career with 17-5 record and has been fighting for UFC for 10 years. I would say that this is a right decision. He is 36, doubtfully he would be champ (bantamweight is very competable right now, he has lost his title opportunity and next might be only in couple of years), in addition he fight rarely recently.

Stephen Thompson is certainly one of the best strikers. It would be an understatement to say that he is not towards the top. And he is almost 40 years old. Next February 2023, he will be 40 years old. As a 40-year-old, this was an impressive performance. And I have to give respect to Kevin Holland because he tried to hang in there till the last. But as you said, no one was able to stop Stephen that night.

Tai Tuivasa got badly beaten. I have seen Tai Tuivasa fight before, and to me, it really felt like his physicality was not convincing enough. At least not at the top level of MMA.



I also got kind of scared when I saw that weight from Dustin Poirier. But yes, he already tweeted almost 10 hours ago that his antibiotics are working.
So, I don’t think there will be any kind of serious injury to him. At least not anything which will prevent him from fighting.
I agree with @bbc.reporter that this was probably done because of gaining some social media followers.

Abour Poirier and his staff infection.

It was always hard for me to understand how irresponsible adults are about their health. When their kid gets a tiny red pimple, as an allergic reaction to overload of new food, they sign that kid to a hundred of doctor visits. But when they themselves are about to die they are like “naaah, it will cure itself”.

It want like Poirier put on his socks in the morning, went to gym, put of a socks and observed that mess with his leg. Such staff problems does not happen instantly. He must have skipped showing that crap to a doc for days or a week. In addition, his responsibility could lead to infecting other people in the gym! What a douchebag.

The next fight could be Stipe Miocic or Ciryl Gane before he can fight Francis Ngannou, but because of his rankings he might get an early shot for the title, but I really don't know why he has a weakness with the takedown even if he has a background in Combat Sambo, maybe he is saving it as a last resort like Israel Adesanya, we can see that Adesanya really has wrestled in him, and just like Pavlovich maybe he can use it as an ace when the standing gets dicey, but that Overeem fight Overeem just got the better out of him, and he was surprised on what have happen,


Paddy Pimblett and Ilia Topuria got some drama going on back then and they surely share another event together, this could get Dicey for both fighters, while I also like to see Paddy Pimblett be tested with high-ranking guys as well, if this fight gets through we could really see an amazing fight for him, next time.

There were speculations that those antibiotics the doctors were giving him were not working. Poirier also said that it was serious implying that there might be something more than a staph infection. However, he posted an updated on Twitter that the antibiotics were starting to work and he will be out of the hospital in 2 days.

He might only be looking for more engagement for his social media accounts hehehehe. Influencers like to do this.



On Tuesday, Poirier had some good news to share with his fan base regarding his health status.

"Antibiotics are working.  Getting outta the hospital tomorrow morning!”

Wonderboy is back. I'm sorry for every doubting him. Also, got to respect Holland yet again, not giving up, and wanting to make a fight of it. However, no one (at least any strikers) were beating Stephen that night. He was electric.

Honestly, I don't want to get carried away, but I can't think of many that are better than him at striking, and the man's like 40 years old, right? Simply incredible. The whole event was fun, although I didn't like seeing Tai get hurt like that, although I was half expecting it. Hopefully, that doesn't effect him too much in future fights.

Dustin Poirier posted a picture of his staff infection on Twitter...  His foot looks messed up.  I'm worried he might be done fighting if he can't get it healed up well and quickly.  I'm not a doctor, but it looks like the possibility is there for him to lose his foot...  I hope he heals up because he's had one hell of a career and this latest setback may actually put him in line with Connor McGregor's return.  I don't want to see them fight again, but it's clear that Connor feels like he has some unfinished business.  Dustin having foot problems now is probably a gift to McGregor if they do line up another fight.

Interested in every main card fight. I think another belt will go to Dagestan. Also Paddy vs “another non ranked guy”. Cant wait for Paddy to beat that guy and get finally a ranked opponent. Enough if these average Joe’s. Paddy has a huge fighting background before ufc. He needs a real test. Otherwise we will see another rear naked choke in round 1 or 2. Till - lose snd bye-bye ufc, or Khamzat friend stays. Drama, drama  Topuria - dangerous 12-0 lightweight. To bad his opponent is unranked and it wont help Ilya to rank up.

Curtis Blaydes would make sense and we see how he fares against one of the best wrestlers in the UFC.  Another match up that I'd like to see for the Pavlovich is him vs Gane.  It's gonna be power vs finesse.  I think he loses to both but he got that powerrr that could change the outcome.  Lol.

Anyway, here are some 282 stuff...  Enjoy.
