It was really a bummer for most of my bets lost but it was OK the thing that I get frustrated about was the Nikita Krylov vs. Ryan Spann canceled fight because Krylov become ill and the Jasmine Jasudavicius vs. Cortney Casey because Cortney Casey withdrew,

Nikita Krylov VS Ryan Spann - BOUT CANCELLED

I'd never expected that this fight will be canceled I surely anticipated what might happen to the main event then Krylov got ill just hours before their fight and here is the Interview on RYAN SPANN and watching it I was deeply moved by what he wants to say surely no fight means no win bonus and all and as he said in the interview he wants to show to everyone what he and his coach were cooking for their performance against Nikita Krylov,

André Muniz VS Brendan Allen ROUND 3 - SUBMISSION - LOST

Andre Muniz was really good with the stand-up and pretty much getting those clean shots on Brandon Allen but after that kick, Allen timed it to catch Muniz off guard then the takedown, commence then all of a sudden Muniz gave his back that Brendan Allen capitalized and so the rear naked choke was executed on him,

Augusto Sakai VS Don'Tale Mayes ROUND 3 - DECISION - LOST

I should have gone with the more intense fighter that really wants to win, Don'Tale Mayes was inactive for so long but his fight with Ciryl Gane was really great that I gave him the chance, but after what I have seen the performance of Augusto Sakai it showed there how badly he needed that win, and at the 1st round he surely landed a lot of strikes and probably wants to see a knockout in giving Mayes Knee strikes but because of Mayes defense and durability all of Sakai's strikes was nothing but yeah it was a win for Augusto Sakai,

Jones is the greatest in his MMA skills and Cormier can fight well and at the same time can talk graciously in his defeat which I think is one of his major skills making him a respected person.

We find the reactions of Rogan and Cormier funny every time there is a jaw-dropping KO and thier eyes almost come out of their heads. I think this is what Jones is looking for. But definitely, no one is better qualified in talking while the fight is going on than one MMA hall of Famer.

I also think that Ryan Spann is not a pushover he could surely win this but I don't think I could bet for a draw so I have gone to Nikita Krylov instead, but surely both fighters initially can win, Ryan Spann has some unorthodox moves and has some power to his punch and strike, but Nikita Krylov has some sick striking combo with some unpredictable kicks, even though Spann has the advantage with the reach Krylov's kicks would surely suffice,

And with Jordan Leavitt that has beaten by Paddy Pimblett in round 2, it seems that he is the favorite to win here well Victor Martinez is not a well-known fighter but isn't that more dangerous than a known fighter that you can analyze and could be ready at anything, even though Leavitt has the wrestling advantage what if Victor Martinez has a good takedown defense, but still it is safe to go with Jordan Leavitt,


Jordan Leavitt looks (Gaaaaaaaaaaaaay......) whatever at least he is happy, well I really don't know if Jordan Leavitt has learned something after his fight with Paddy Pimblett, or just gets worst, but his opponent Victor Martinez's debut in the UFC and is the 1st fighter so many are not really please if Jordan Leavitt just wants a fight just to get back his courage and determination because I think that is false courage you are showing by fighting a fighter that surely doesn't stand a chance against somebody,

For me Jon Jones is good but I am more of a Ciryl Gane guy, and I still think that Gane is more explosive than before and showing upgrade in every fighter he faces,

Jon Jones has always had respect for Daniel Cormier. A lot of times in the past Danielle Cormier has not been respected just because of his physicality. The fat percentage of his body is a little on the high side. And of course, he had a great rivalry with John Jones. But I think we all know that both of them had good respect for each other.

I know it is going to sound crazy and not relatable for a lot of people, and I also do not feel great to compare them with two greats, but I feel like this rivalry is basically like the rivalry between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Because at the end of the day, they all stayed professional and got people watching their fights and also had respect for each other when it was all over.

What is wrong with Jordan Leavitt? I have him as my main bet. He always is the underdog but always seems to win. He does not take many risks and he is a calculated striker and a better wrestler. I think the odds 1.90 are very good against Victor Martinez who is nothing special in the ufc.

Jon Jones said that he wants Daniel Cornier to commentate on his return which is nice to see because they had a fierce rivalry. I am excited for Jon Jones return and is 1 of the reasons I started watched the ufc again.

^  Had Krylov at first glance but thinking more about it and looking at both during weigh ins and the face off, I think Spann is a live underdog here.  And for where the line is at, it could be a good gamble.  Have him at the third tier of my lottery ticket and no regrets,  It's putting Leavitt near the top is what I'm kicking myself with.  Lol.

Anyway, here are the weigh ins and the face offs.

I haven't heard about the crypto token Khabib Nurmagomedov was promoting but maybe I would surely look for it if he is the Brand Ambassador I look research it but surely be cautious in getting my money on board if there are freebies or airdrops why not, but still looking forward on it because it would be a great achievement for the Crypto community,

Now here is my pick for the UFC Fight Night: Krylov vs. Spann today,

Nikita Krylov VS Ryan Spann

The stake odds for this fight are 1.58 for Krylov and 2.40 for Spann, for this fight Ryan Spann has the height and reach advantage and I think he got the power aswell but both guys had a submission game but for me, Nikita Krylov is more technical than Ryan Spann, this could be a very difficult fight for Krylov for sure because of Spann's strength could easily throw him but my pick is Nikita Krylov,

André Muniz VS Brendan Allen

The stake odds for this fight are 1.43 for Muniz and 2.85 for Allen, for this fight Brendan Allen has the height but Andre Muniz has the reach advantage with 78.0" (198cm) for Muniz, and 75.0" (191cm) for Allen, for me Andre Muniz got a great grip in his fight with Uriah Hall, and Hall surely struggles a lot in finding his openings against Muniz, and Andre Muniz surely destroyed Halls control, for me I think Muniz will surely dominate Brendan Allen for sure,

Augusto Sakai VS Don'Tale Mayes

The stake odds for this fight are 1.78 for Sakai and 2.05 for Mayes, it seems that they are underestimating Don'Tale Mayes, well Mayes could surely be inactive for a long time but his return will prove that he can still fight, and Ciryl Gane's fight was astonishing but Sakai has the power advantage and could finish the fight in one blow, so the technical movement of Mayes can surely be tried against Sakai and Sakai really badly needing this win 1 more lost and that will be the 5th consecutive loss in the UFC and it could be his last, so my pick is Don'Tale Maye

Did Khabib's twitter account just got hacked or he is promoting some unknown GMT token?
They probably offered him a lot of money for this advertisement, but this looks like promotion of pump and dump.
Before that I saw he is working on some metaverse game plan project, I never expected this from Khabib, and he received many negative comments on twitter.

Submissions is possible I suppose, but I'll probably be jumping on the decision for Jones. Gane's tough, not very good on the ground, but I think with Jones being out for so long, he probably won't be at his best either. A decision for this weight class usually brings some pretty decent odds too. Jon Jones might come back, and be at his peak, but I think that's expecting a little bit too much from him. The safer bet is Jon Jones to win, I personally can't see Gane winning. Although, I'm not a fan of Gane, and have thought he's been over hyped for a while now, so consider that if you're listening to me. There's definitely a little bias there.

In reality, none of us know what sort of shape Jon Jones is in right now, and whether he can still pull off what he used to in the octagon.

This is the first time we'll see Jones fight again. If he is still up to submit opponents he can do it.
Heavy body mass however can just make him go for striking, after all, he can greatly damage with just fists. But it's still possible by Submission.


I started watching UFC during the time of Anderson Silva since it's always sensational and UFC was giving a grand entrance of champs and challengers going to the cage. Same with you I just download them on torrent. I still have the youtube channel I made for the KOs of the Spider. You must have found my channel 

Who are the pie shitters @tokeweed @welsh? I plan on betting on the three WMMA and probably Span but I will be putting a Jon Jones Submission on the bet if the lines open up again. I am now using Stake to wager my bets but they do not have any of the finish lines open yet. I might just put Jon Jones to win if it does not open before this event. I think I might go for go the distance on all 3 of the WMMA.

To be fair, almost every fight is interesting. Apart from that Rose vs Carla fight, don't get me started on that one. However, most fights are entertaining. I get a lot of fans don't like the wrestling aspect, but I enjoy that part as much as the striking, especially a high level grappling fight.

It's just less big names, and that's all really. Jon Jones has a pull to the UFC just because of his reputation, and the fact he's a brilliant fighter. However, this event might actually be more entertaining overall. I guess it depends on the person, but I enjoy MMA regardless who's fighting. I know there's a stigma against the women in MMA, which I also don't agree with. I find them just as entertaining, and they can be extremely technical.

I'd say if some of you guys likes betting on the UFC, it's good to watch the matches of all of the events.  Saves you time from the ol' tape study stuff.  And if you do need to watch the replays, you could skip some parts of the match since you'll most likely remember and get how one guy won, how the other guy lost, whether the win was a fluke, etc etc...

And it's always good to drop a little bet and make it more interesting.  That's why I like full event parlays as I don't need to bet a lot.  I could set my lottery tickets and hope the top ticket wins so I break even and could make another bet for the next event.  

At this point, I feel like this argument is just going on because people are not talking to understand but talking to argue. Any fighter if given the chance or the option, is going to choose to be the best in almost everything. So of course it is expected for any fighter to actually want to be the best pound for pound. Now, are there fighters who just want to make a living out of it? Yes, there are. But the majority will of course try to go for the first spot in anything.

Secondly, I do not believe that anyone is going to train with fighters and even help them train and not train for a fight himself. At least not the majority. Because watching the other fighters fight, there will be an itch inside to fight competitively. So I don't believe that someone who is closely related to all these does not want to fight. In most cases, it's because they don't have the best options.

Since this weeks event is going to "not very interesting", and probably lots of you are going to skip and just watch replays, then I suggest you to spend few minutes and visit UFC 30th anniversary page. UFC has been with us for 30 years already. Just scroll down and swipe right UFC history. Lots of cool stuff there (that easily can be found on YouTube).

I was first introduced to UFC probably in 2009-2010, the time I've got unlimited fast internet and accidentally found KO compilation videos on YouTube. My interest to UFC has developed to downloading events from torrents, converting them and watching on iPhone small screen them during lectures  Now I watch almost every UFC event on huge TV on a fight channel

There's potentially a lot of pie shtters in the next event.  You guys could see the difference between my Multi Master picks and my lottery ticket.  Lol.  Speaking of which...  Last call to the Multi Master for those of you guys who hasn't made their picks yet.

Just make your picks..  It's free money and it's fun.

Anyway...  Weigh ins start in around a couple of hours.  Last look before you place your bets.

And Armfield vs Johnson was cancelled due to illness by Johnson.  I guess the event starts around 15 mins late.

First, why "Every" fighter? Why with capital letter ? Not every fighter wants to be on top position of p4p, some fighters just like to fight, some dont have champions ambitions. For example Clay Guida - the just loves to fight. He is ready to fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. Look at his record and opponents. They are not top. When you are 40+ and you are not a heavyweight, you dont aim to become a champ or rank 1 p4p. But this guys just keep testing himself.

Second, a fighter aims to be champ, but not rank 1 p4p. How can a person be claimed as best fighter if there are weight classes? Get any top5 heavyweight in octagon with featherweights champion and see who will win.

Third - about the diamonds I am talking. Dont need to go far for example. Take a Dagestani fighter, that is not in UFC or any other big mma promotion. I think he will fit greatly. People even say, that in every Dagestan small village lives either worlds mma or wrestling champion. For example close to my home, in kickboxing gym trains a guy who often flies to train to Sweden with Chimaev, Till, Gustafsson. Helps them to prepare for fights there and in Thailand (he is one of their sparring partners in striking). The guy is really cool, but scouts does not contact him. It cant be that he is scared or is a newbie. Otherwise they did not call him for help.

I'll get my predictions out soonish. Although, I'm probably not betting on this weekend. There's more interesting events coming up, and more opportunity to earn in my opinion. At the moment, I'm thinking Nikita Krylov gets it done against Spann, André Muniz against Brenden Allen, for not other reason than being the less experienced fighter, and the fact that Allen has let me down in the past, and finally I'm thinking that Tatiana Suarez gets the job done, probably via decision. There's a few pieshitters as tokeweed would say on this event, so I'd be careful with the odds being offered. A lot of them are a lot wider than the actual fights will show.

It's a good event, I think they'll be some decent competitive fights, I just know the Jon Jones event is going to be even better, and I want to make the most of that weekend with whiskey, and food .

Aw! against Alexa Grasso one of my fighting kittens I surely love this girl and she is also a brand ambassador for stake.com alongside Israel Adesanya, recently with Marlon Vera but it has changed to Jailton Almeida, well for me Valentina Shevchenko surely has the power but Alexa Grasso is showing potential with her technical approach even though there is a high chance that Alexa Grasso could be defeated here, for me when she gives her all and gives on a good fight she is still be the winner for me,


Alexander Volkanovski now has the feel of fighting Islam Makhachev this could be a great time to have a rematch before that feeling is gone it goes to show how deep knowledge he got from fighting Makhachev and that he is very confident in challenging him, also Islam Makhachev said aswell that Volk is a new experience for him and I think both really need this fight so badly

But for me Islam Makhachev all the way, now that coach Khabib Nurmagomendov is back they will surely correct the wrong things Makhachev has done and Khabib will surely be on Makhachev side this time so the confidence for Islam Makhachev is still there, and that means that Islam Makhachev is not only the opponent for Volkanovski but Khabib Nurmagomenodov aswell,

Well, I can definitely say that Makhachev was very dizzy after the fight with Volkanovski It's getting a little bit boring how they listen to their parents, etc. Don't get me wrong but yeah, it was okay with Khabib but we don't need a copy/paste, a person should be more individual.
I really hope there will be a fight between Makhachev and Dustin Poirier. Poirier is my favorite UFC fighter, his boxing style is really great. The sad fact is that wrestling is his Achilles’ heel. So, I'm afraid he will lose against Makhachev because Dagestani people are great at wrestling and when it comes to MMA, this gives them advantage over boxers.

Btw Dustin Poirier vs Alexander Volkanovski would be the fight I wanna watch. I love boxing, wrestling makes a show less attractive for me.

Well, Conor has been on vacation since July 10, 2021. He broke his leg when he was fighting Poirier. Conor was amazing during his prime, once he become very rich, he started to spend a lot of time on parties, coke and girls and less time on training.

This is pretty much what I have been posting here. Volk, that in Russian language means wolf, deserves the p4p title. A match that was draw in reality, shouldn't give Makhachev p4p title.
