Israel Adesanya will have to play his boring style of fight. Because whenever he is getting a little stylish and unorthodox in his fights right now, he is facing problems. And I do not think that Israel Adesanya is going to take that chance. Other than that, I think this is actually a very good rematch. Israel Adesanya should be able to beat Alex Pereira. But it is going to be an even match again in my opinion.



Leon Edwards is just saying that because he wants to bring as much pay per view as he can. Because that is obviously going to be helpful for both him and the UFC. Other than that, I think this is actually a very good match-up between these two as well.

I'm probably going to put a small amount on a bet, but it'll be different to the actual predictions I put. Here's what I'm thinking:

Derrick Lewis by TKO/KO
Mandy Bohm by decision
Denis Tiuliulin
Tatsuro Taira

Now, that isn't the best odds, but I think those are the only one's that offer value, and at the same time don't worry me massively. As you can see, I've actually gone against some of my predictions, and gone for the massive underdog in Mandy Bohm. I wouldn't follow this bet, as it's definitely on the risky side, but that's what I'm going to put a small amount on. I haven't seen the weigh ins yet either.

What would your favourites be? I might incorporate a rather long accumulator with the Bellator guys on tonight.

Conor would be eager to fight on UFC if he could really do it. But that leg is just not going to make him win, we have seen what it did to Anderson Silva. He may be able to fight but has no guarantee of winning, making the bookies whisper in his ears to just sit down. Pretty sure it's the leg that will be abused by his opponent.

He'll probably just be on UFC to support an MMA like Paddy, he can't be like Bisping or DC, he'd get mugged because of his mouth.

Conor McGregor might be able to bring a lot of people to see fights. But I don't think attracting a big crowd is not being in the prime for a fighter. If a fighter is in his prime, he is beating top fighters and not facing too much trouble from them. I honestly don't even remember when was the last time Conor McGregor actually won a fight.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is if we talk about Conor McGregor being able to bring a big crowd for his fight, I think he is still very much capable of doing that. But if we are talking about Conor McGregor being able to actually fight very well as he did before, I think he is not as good as he was.

Be care tho.  Now I feel like I should've waited for the weigh ins and the face offs.  Lol.  There are some pie shtters up there now that I think about it.  Jung is a risk, JY Park, Kim and prolly Kinoshita too.

And about Lewis, I get it.  Sure he could be a little bit more careful than usual but he still has more experience fighting against the top guys, Spivak isn't really a guy who goes after KO's like Lewis' previous two opponents and Lewis is almost a 3 to 1 underdog.     I like it.

Anyway in case some of you guys are wondering, my lottery tickets' bet amounts per line are...

5

10 bucks total.

Not the best in terms of names on this event, but I've attempted some predictions. I'll probably going to give betting a miss on this card. Too many variables, and unknowns. Here's my predictions:

Derrick Lewis
Da Un Jung
Marcin Tybura
Kyle Nelson
Yusaku Kinoshita
Anshul Jubli
Zha Yi
Rinya Nakamura
Hyun Sung Park
Ji Yeon Kim
Jun Yong Park
Tatsuro Taira

Not a lot of tape on some of these guys, so take these predictions with a pinch of salt. I haven't really got a whole lot of favourites either. Derrick Lewis, and Tybura I'd probably be the most confident on.

It would be funny if it ends with 4-0 between Pereira and Adesanya. Funny that Pereira has already made a name. No matter if he looses, and suddenly retires from fighting, people will always remember him as a guy who beat top UFC striker 3 times.

It is obvious that if Adesanya and Pereira makes another kickboxing fight in the octagon, then it will be a matter of luck who is going to win. It would not be smart for Izzy to focus on kickboxing again. Such tactics failed 3 times already. But, I start to think more and more that Pereira aint that simple as everyone sees him. Of course he has no elite wrestling or grappling skills, that he secretly trained for decades (it will turn out all of a sudden, that he is actually a Dagestani guy lol), but he will surprise everyone like Ngannou in his fight against Gane. When everyone expected Ngannou to go destroyer mode, instead he did lot of wrestling and outsmart Gane.

Periera will come in with more learned skills for MMA. As for Adesanya, he can train as hard as he can and even change his strategies in the fight like focusing on takedowns but his mindset will change once he sees Periera inside the octagon. There should be some sort of psychological effects already on Adesanya. I believe this rematch will be an easier win for Periera. Periera will also come in as the favorite. Maybe 1.40 to 1.60? 


This one, I will surely bet on Kamaru. I hope Kamaru's odds will slightly improve this time. I felt like Edward's social media accounts are sometimes used by an admin. Or maybe Edwards is just starting to show his true self after gaining a lot of confidence after that shocking win over Usman.

What if he gained the speed of Cyril Gane in this physique, right now he is fighting Serghei Spivac, and with this kind of body build can he really have the power to beat him, now I am more curious and at the same time doubting him at the same time, Curious if what is new for Derrick Lewis, and doubting if he can take on Serghei Spivac because we all know that Spivac surely has takedowns, and winning with a ground and pound would be a weakness for Lewis, just like he did with Augusto Sakai, and Greg Hardy because there are some fighters even though they got slimmer physique now their punching power stays, and if he has a changed fighter with the technicality in his style then Serghei Spivac will be easy in my opinion,

Breaking News

We all know the upcoming Israel Adesanya VS Alex Pereira rematch, and we all know its weakness of Pereira, it was truly shown and exposed by Izzy, but to no avail, Pereira just easily make a comeback in the last round in knocking out Izzy, do you guys think that the fight will be the same, or is there a new technique that Israel Adesanya can uncover on their rematch of Alex Pereira would do wrestling aswell, to shock Izzy and all of us,

And Kamaru Usman VS Leon Edwards, rematch, right now Leon Edwards is saying that Kamaru Usman is not good enough for him which is not a Leon Edwards thing to say, in my opinion, he maybe only wants to hype the rematch, between him and Usman, but this is just my assumption,

I saw that image and he looks much better and slimmer but I am sure he is going to lack power and have weaker punches.
It's impossible for someone like him to gain speed and stamina just by cutting weight, he needs a lot of cardio training, running, swimming, and everything else that makes him faster.
Maybe I am wrong but I think he did this for health reasons, there was some rumor before that he had hearth issues and doctor told him he needs to lose extra weight.

Well, it is a partnership with the UFC, and surely KSI and Logan Paul are the creators or you can say the face of Prime drink, is now the official drink for the UFC, and Logan Paul was just scamming us that he will sign and fight for UFC, but the one that he is signing was just the Prime partnership with the UFC, what a bummer I thought I would see Logan Paul finally fight and get beat up inside the Octagon,

But anyway Paddy Pimblett launches his own drink in response to KSI and Logan Paul's Prime, in which he said that Prime is not healthy and Fuel his own energy drink is much more, surely I doubted it for me Gatorade was the one I am drinking most, but yeah this could surely point out that Paddy Pimblett wants to fight Logan Paul for real,


Woah! the new Derrick Lewis, all I wish for him is not only the physical appearance but his technique in fighting in the Light Heavyweight could flourish aswell because if not he could be in big trouble, for sure, but that is great for him toning down to that shape and he gets a little healthier I guess, maybe he is now burning all that Popeye Chickens that he eats, and go on a healthier nutritional diet to achieving this kind of body, and I think this is dedication now I am excited for the Light Heavyweight division,


Unfortunately, it was all a lie, Prime energy drink is KSI and Logan Paul's creation which means that they are the new sponsor and the official drink for the UFC, and that contract signing that Logan Paul made was not him fighting inside the Octagon but the Partnership with the UFC as their new sponsor, again we are scammed by Logan Paul great job scam us in the crypto world now scamming us in the UFC, what is next for him,

Mines probably going to be something similar. Still need to watch a little more tape. I keep boomeranging between Lewis, and Spivak. I promise to have my predictions out by tomorrow . By the way, I'm not reviewing tape on Lewis or Spivak, I just can't really choose. I'm trying to not take into consideration the weight change, but Lewis has had a rather rough time recently in the cage, and Spivak might play it safe, go for volume, and look to tire Lewis. I also think Lewis will be a little more timid than usual, due to being knocked out a few times now.

Conor McGregor is not well past his prime, he is fighting the top ranked fighters and lost and whenever he fights, he will be attracting a large crowd and almost all of his fights are the highest selling PPV in the UFC. Tony Ferguson is on a 5 fight loosing streak and McGregor chose a good comeback fight and hopefully he will be calling out Nate Diaz for his trilogy and if he is willing to fight RDA and then retire.

Yeah, he has just made a big mistake in the crypto world, and now he is trying to clear the image. That's why he is trying to make things good with the UFC and also trying to get some new fans as well. Not to mention this is also going to be great for his future boxing matches as well.

But of course, if UFC can also get some popularity because of him, I think it is not going to be a bad deal for the UFC as well. But whatever happens, I do not think he's going to be a fighter in my eyes, he's always going to be known as a troll to me.

Just wondering at what odds did they give you Makhachev via submission and Jones via TKO.

And wow, it's my first time hearing of a bookie who's willing to cancel their customers' bets if other books have better lines.  That's very generous of them...  Most books would lock it in since they already beat the market.

Anyway here's my lottery ticket.

Jung - Kinoshita - Taira at 2.01
Add:  JY Park - Kim - Tybura at 6.50
Add:  Choi - Nakamura - H Park at 17.73
Add:  Lee - Jubli at 45.02
Add:  Lewis at 126.05

Just 10 bucks total for the lulz.

I knew it was going to be a sponsor of sorts, there was no way that a commission would sanction a fight for Logan Paul. He hasn't trained in martial arts at all. It'd be a really bad look on the UFC too. It seems Monster Energy has kept their sponsor too? Prime is going to be in the corners. When I thought there couldn't be any more sponsors...I'm lucky with BT sport you can watch the fights relatively undisturbed, but I've watched it a few times with friends on ESPN, and the screen is covered in advertisements, and you can't even watch the walk outs as they're playing advertisements.

Anyhow, see what I mean about Derrick Lewis? Definitely dropped more than 5 pounds there, but that doesn't mean he's not going to turn up at the fight with that weight back on. It might just be part of his training, so that he finds it easier come weigh in day.

Check out Derrik Lewis current form:



Waiting for comments on that He looks really slick. More like a light heavyweight right now. Do you think black beast will now lack power, but gained stamina and speed instead? Or he has still powder in his cannons? Excited to see updated Lewis in the octagon. Really looking forward how he gonna fight now. Maybe new tactics; not his usual as working as Nr2 or more counter attacks. Maybe that body transformation, weight cut will do exactly opposite and we will get a weak, exhausted Lewis, that might get an injury. Sometimes such body change cause bones to be not as strong as usually, as body looses water, salt, minerals.

Logan Paul failed the Crypto world and now has a scam of a project NFT or game, now going to something that could likely be a chance for him to be richer than he could ever be, well the same goes with the UFC, so no wonder this is happening and just like his brother that is reigning in the boxing with the retired MMA fighter I think Logan Paul wants to be known as a fighter aswell but in a different combat sports that he thinks he got an advantage ,

This is confirmed 100% real. I am beginning to be skeptical on this head shaking drama with Jake Paul and uncle Dana. They are using this very much similar to how ICO scammers use social media engagement to promote and sell themselves and their new products. Dana slapped his wife and has a new power slap league? Is this a coincidence? Jake Paul insults uncle Dana and his brother Logan signs a deal with Dana? Is this another coincidence?



Prime Hydration, a sports drink founded by YouTubers-turned-combat sports figures Logan Paul and KSI, has become the official global sports drink of the UFC.

On Monday, Paul teased a major UFC-related announcement on social media. While the video he posted led some to believe the revelation would be fight-related, most appeared to acknowledge the likelihood of a business deal, especially after Dana White appeared with a bottle of the drink during a press conference earlier this month.

Go to a local betting shop and they will be happy to put the bets down way before the ones on the internet. They offer the odds based on the opening odds. My local betting store is a small business that does not offer much on their website too. They are not a big company like the ones you see bet365 or william hill. No Crypto physical betting stores. You can cancel your bet and get a refund if the websites are better priced to. I was looking for a online betting website but they all had moneylines and no methods of victory. They had method of victory only for the bellator and next ufc fight night but not jon jones or Makhachev.
