This is crazy but I don't know what exactly happened with all of this fighters.
I think it's obvious why many fighters are suddenly getting sick before the fight because of dehydration and trying to lose weight quickly that seriously affects some organs.
Nobody likes doing this weight cut and they better change this rule before someone drops dead, like it happened in bodybuilding competitions.

Jordan Leavitt got his 2nd knock out of his career and those high knees were brutal! He did not do his signature celebration which I was disappointed by but I think it is because he was relieved he was able to win the fight with a finish after his loss against Paddy Pimblett. I guess he took that loss hard even though he was the under dog in the fight. I wonder what is next opponent is because he looked sharp striking and did not do any grappling!

Muniz is a bit overrated, yeah.  I thought he could more with his back on the mat.  But in fairness Allen's 'reversal' happened due to the momentum when both fighters went to the ground.  So he kinda got lucky there.  The third round tho...  No excuse.

The event kinda was disappointing as it had 4 cancellations.  As for my lottery ticket, another break even night.  At least it wasn't an L.  Lol.  On we go to the next one.

UFC 285 Jones vs Gane:  Countdown Full Episode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoYNS3C1_Pc

I absolutely agree. Daniel Cormier fought against John Jones. So he knows very well what John Jones is going to do and also what he is capable of doing. So he is the most qualified person to actually talk about the fight of John Jones. If we are talking about someone outside of fighting,  it has to be Joe Rogan. Because even though he has not fought for a long time, he is someone who is very close to the fighting scene and he was also great in his prime. He understands what is going on in the fight better than anyone.

There were too many cancelled bouts which was a bummer and Jasmine Jasudavicius fought Gabriella Fernandes which was a short notice replacement, the main frustration is the André Muniz fight, who is coming into the bout with wins against Ronaldo Souza, Uriah Hall and he was no way near those caliber after watching the fight against Brendan Allen which i thought would be an easy pick and that pick messed my parlay  .

No Andre Muniz was not great in stand up as well, Brendan Allen won the first round just with stand up alone and in the second round Brendan Allen was controlling the positions and when Muniz tried to take down, Brendan Allen reversed the position which makes me think that i overestimated Andre Muniz .

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
