Lets see how he is going to fight this weekend without Khabibs assistance. His striking coach Javier Mendez, told that they will cope well without Khabib in Islams corner. Btw, the odds, because of no Khabib in Islams corner, did not change at all. Bookies are also as confident in this win as Islam Due to Volkanovski being smaller than Islam, and all those muscles, it a bit lowers Makhachevs wrestling level, because it will be harder to choke opponent that has no neck lol

Both fighters have one loss if they would look at each other's weaknesses they will look for people that led them to lose the fight well both were pretty much alike when it comes to their losses, both miscalculated the situation, and I think this will be their cap window of opportunity that they will be exposing and seeing when these two clashes, Well, in my opinion, Alex Volkanovski has some wrestling in him aswell he surely practice in that and got a few wins on the ground, but when it comes to wrestling Makhachev is really high regarding his wrestling and is very proud with the Dagestan Wrestling for sure, so yeah Volkanovski will surely struggle a lot!


Yup! will be betting on a combo mode and not with the regular win, it is not really profitable when you want to bet for Islam Makhachev, and he is the heavy favorite to win, that is why but will be giving my picks for the other fights will be just completing some of my information about the fighters, to make my final verdict and prediction of what may happen on the fight, well I think it will affect Makhachev's performance by a little but it will not stop him in smashing Volkanovski for sure,

Did you see the odds for main event?
https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc-284/matches

Islam Makhachev is massive favorite but I don't see any value in betting on him.
I do expect fight won't go to distance, so only potential bet for me would be Makhachev to win by submission.
Let's see how Islam will be in first fight without coach Khabib in corner.
I am not very excited about other fights on this card, but I must watch main event.

You know it. I'm probably fancying Volkanovski, but I'm liking your Maddalena, Mullarkey, and Lookboonmee picks. The latter I'd probably be the most concerned with, since Elise Reed is pretty good on the ground, just not great getting it there. Lookboonmee has the volume though, so I do feel somewhat confident in that pick. I'll get my proper picks out closer to the date, but that's my early leans, and for the most part I agree with your picks.

Although, I said I fancy Volky I'm absolutely not betting on that fight. Too many variables, but I've doubted Volkanovski before, but it turns out you just can't go against a ex rugby player .

It is very rare that a fighter dominates his division so fast like Makhachev. Makhachev has smashed everyone in front of him and does not look like losing in that division. Volk is good but we is very small compared to Makhachev and volk has struggled a couple of times before with wrestlers. Makhachev is one of the best wrestlers in the ufc and that is why volk is going to struggle. If volk can keep it on the feet then I think he will win but that would be a big thing to because Makhachev out reaches him too. I know that volk is normally the smaller fighter but this is a big difference when a good wrestler like Makhachev is the opponent.

Well, I think it is the other way around if you look at the stake odds Islam Makhachev has an insane amount of odds right now he is at 1.26 while Alex Volkanovski is at 4.20 right now so I think there are many rooting for Makhachev and he is the favorite to win here, and for me, I will be rooting for Islam Makhachev aswell  Alex Volkanovski had a great striking and Makhachev don't need to underestimate it, for me go with the takedowns pretty early in the fight, after all weakness to strikers are wrestlers, and takedowns,


That was really a bummer to have your bet suspended because the fight was canceled and I feel you man, anyhow next event will surely be awesome overload for us, and right now I can not wait to watch it, the feeling that you want to play a game but that game is not yet released I got the feeling like that when waiting for an event in the UFC for sure many has a different feeling than me, but surely champion vs champion fight is really one of a kind and a chance for Alex Volkanovski to get 2 belt for himself,


I really dislike the idea of saying if he beat him that beat the other fighter technically he also beat him, for me, it is not really respectable for the other fighter, because there might be some skill on that fighter that could be a weakness for the other, I am saying is if he wants to fight to see what is real and what is really not for me if Max Holloway wants to also fight Makhachev then let him prove himself not just because Volkanovski lost to Makhachev for example doesn't really mean that Islam Makhachev also beat Max Holloway aswell,

I can easily agree that Volkanovski is a monster, but gonna try to start a discussion why he is not going to win First of all it is a very rare case when a fighter advances to other weight class and performs well there. Going down in a weight class is different. But when you go up to fight against a champion and top2 p2p, imho this is a suicide mission. Islam will be only a weigh-ins a lightweight, next day he will be a welterweight . This will be first time Volkanovski fighting as a lightweight. No warm-up fight, straight against champ... I wont stop saying that wrestler beats striker. Volkanovski, I think, had only 1 or 2 (probably only Ortega) good wrestler opponents. I wish this fight to have more drama, but I think everyone knows how it is going to end.

He is the favorite and Makhachev has some of the best  ground game ever witnessed. Probably only Khabib and Chimaev who can rival him. Volk has good takedown defense but he is a lot smaller then Makhachev and I do not see Volk being able to keep him off of him. I still think Makhachev will get the submission but if not he will probably win by gnp. Volk is too small.

Lol...  I'm pretty sure you'll be betting on some of the matches at 284 then.    Since it's a 'shouldn't miss' event and all.    But yeah, I looove watching MMA, so I just couldn't not make at least a lottery ticket and out a little something in it.

Anyway here's what my lottery ticket for 284 might look like.  Haven't bet it yet.

Tukughov - Mackhachev - Lookboonmee
Add:  Pedro - Maddalena - Rodriguez
Add:  Bilder - Rodrigues - Porter
Add:  Jenkins - Mullarkey - Culibao
Add:  Menifield

And here's the Multi Master.

UFC 284 - Multi Master Challenge
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-284-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5438397

Have fun!

If Volkanovski can beat Makhachev, I think he's a monster since he's already destroy every fighters in featherweight and he's able to win against top 2 P4P rank.

It's possible for other featherweight's fighter will challenge Makhachev, but there's no better fighter except Max Holloway, even Holloway is a good fighter, he have been beaten by Volkanovski for 3 times. He ever fight with Dustin Poirier which is top 3 rank in lightweight, but he's lose.

So if Makhachev beat Volkanovski, technically he already beat Holloway too.

Derrick Lewis should really make bigger break from UFC fighting, he is losing fights left and right, but Dana want's to milk him more.
Serghei Spivac made it look easy but I want to see him fighting against better fighter, I am not sure he is material for heavyweight champion.
I am glad I was right on my UFC predictions on Marcin Tybura and Serghei Spivac, but this was not event to remember for long time.
I am expecting much more from next fight card Islam Makhachev vs Alexander Volkanovski.

Bookies are not rooting for Volkaanovski however. Personally, I wanted Volkanovski to win and remain at the top still as he had defended the title before. He just has to avoid the takedown by countering it with his accurate strike or by knee and this will fall as one of the upsets again.

Once Makhachev wins in this weight class, this will be another set of fights for him, another to challenge by the guys in featherweight which will be an opportunity for bettors though.

It's your hard earned money at the end of the day, so of course you'll care. However, if you feel it getting to you, it might be good to have a few weeks off. You don't want to get into that toxic cycle of trying to recoup what you've lost from the last event, as you likely won't. Since, there's always a massive favourite that shuts down your entire bet. Guess, who mine was in Bellator? The biggest favourite there was on that card...

I've tapered off betting as much recently, and only do it to events I'm actually going to watch. There's no point betting on something you can't enjoy that tense feeling that betting brings. Otherwise, you're probably doing it for the wrong reasons. I'm not saying you're tokeweed you've obviously been betting for a good period of time now, so I imagine you're responsible, but I hope it's not getting you down too much.

Exactly.  I kinda expected that Jung could be a pie shtter but I didn't expect him to be that huge a pie shtter.  I prolly should've known.  His name is Jung...  :/  But yeah, I suck at this.  I'll have another one of my lottery tickets for 284 but if I just break even or lose, I won't be having one for a couple of events.  It's funny as it doesn't matter if my bet is big or small, they all stress me out.  Something is wrong with me.  I don't seem to mind much in football tho.  There's something about betting MMA.

And yeah, Lewis is dead to me now.

UFC 284:  Countdown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXers1r3Cog

This will be a great UFC event, I'm excited about seeing Yair Rodriguez AKA El Pantera and his crazy fight style, not sure if Yair will win but what we can be sure of is that will be an awesome fight.

And about Makhachev fight, I think that will be one of those easy money fights, Makhachev should be an easy win, or as we say, that's a lock. I'm not sure about the winning method, maybe submission we will see.

But Saragih lost, even though I chose him to win. This is because he is from my country, of course I support him. Saragih lost because Ansul continued to force him to fight ground and pound. That's what makes Saragih difficult. The manpower is exhausted to defend. In addition, Jubli also excelled in height, at least it made him more fortunate. Of course, this result made Saragih have to fail to get a contract to compete in the UFC.

I hope Islam Makachev wins this fight, that's because I'm going to put him in my multibet bet, it will be a parlay with 4 to 8 fights, I hope at least to get odds from @3.90 to @10.00 here are the fights I'm analyzing and which I'm considering adding to my parlay:

Makhachev - Volkanovski

I will bet on Makhachev's victory

Tyson - Modest

I'm more inclined to bet on Tyson

Mullarkey - Meadow

I'm going to bet on Mullarkey, although I still have some doubts about betting on this fight, but as there are still a few days left for the fight to happen, I have time to calmly analyze who I'm going to bet on

Jenkins - Shainis

I'll bet on Jenkins

Della Maddalena - Randy

I'll bet on Della Maddalena

Lookboonmee - Reed

I'll bet on Lookboonmee

Ross-Kleydson

I'll bet on Kleydson



if i bet on all those fights and i get it right i would make a good profit, i'm also thinking of just taking some fights and adding them in a parlay with soccer games

The fights were on way too late or me, so I only saw a few of them. Missed the main event, but obviously I know what happened. Despite, maybe the results of that main card. I'm kind of disappointed since my bet nearly came in, but because the Kim fight didn't go ahead due to illness, I couldn't cash out as it was suspended the whole time, which was quite annoying.

Anyhow, some good fights from what I saw. Real competitive like I was hoping for, but also some of those fighters were putting massive amounts of volume out there. Anyway, onto the next event. We've got a awesome line up in the next few months.

We will once again witness another history next week when Islam Makachev will fight Alexander Volkanovski, will he get passed on to him? or his luck will run up?

I haven't paid much attention to this schedule until I found out it's gonna be next week. Looks like they will gonna once again surprise us with their techniques on how they will gonna beat each other most fans are rooting for Alexander Volkanovski because they think he has all the skills to beat Makachev but things will be different once they face each other inside the octagon.

Here we go!!! and it is now happening champions vs champion match for me Alexander Volkanovski surely is a great striker and has a decent takedown defense that I think Islam Makhachev would struggle but surely that strength that he showed against Charles Oliveira is legit just like Khamzat Chimaev I think Volkanovski is aware with this but knowing Makhachev that takedown defense he could dominate it when they are near the fence,

For this event, I am surely into  Yair Rodríguez vs. Josh Emmett, Jack Della Maddalena vs. Randy Brown, Joshua Culibao vs. and Melsik Baghdasaryan,


The big event actually and UFC is really eager to make this happen this big event another big event coming to UFC is the Jon Jones VS Ciryl Gane on the vacant Heavyweight sure is a big deal to have and both these fighters would like that idea but for me, Jon Jones was very lucky for this privilege in not starting below the rankings but getting a title match shifting to the Heavyweight division,
