Yeah Charles get underestimated since on the bookies he's an underdog while based on the rankings, he's currently the top 1 on lightweight division. Charles has fought many fighters before and he already suffering many losses in the past, until he become like a beast right now. IMO Makhachev haven't fought any best fighters and this is his biggest match, he need to prove if he's a great fighter and not cherry picked.

Izzy fight would be exciting since he will fight against the one who have beat him twice on kickboxing event.

No, I think I chose the wrong words when I said that.  
I mean, honestly, I didn't know that she (Araujo) was the underdog although my bet was already locked for her. I can say I am lucky because I don't have to doubt the bet. If she is the favorite which means lesser profits then I would have to go thru thinking twice before taking it and I don't like being in that position.

^ I still don't understand why a lot of people say that Khabib is not as good as everyone thinks he is.

The main attraction of UFC 280 is obviously going to be Islam vs Oliveira. But I am quite interested in seeing Sterling vs Dillashaw as well. If I have to predict I am going to say that the winners of the main card of UFC 280 are going to be
Islam Makhachev
Sterling
O'Malley

Now I feel responsible if the match ends in a loss.    Keep in mind, I'm no pro, I'm just like you and I mostly bet small in these events for fun.

I should be posting it here just an update on my Recent post because I thought that the fight will be last week but again I didn't seen the image that UFC was on hiatus last week, but here is it and I am not changing any of my picks for this event,

Here is my pick for the fights for the UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs. Araujo

Alexa Grasso VS Viviane Araujo

Stake odds for this fight are 1.48 for Grasso while 2.60 for Araujo, for this fight I am for the beautiful Alexa Grasso through and through Surely Araujo has a high possibility to do the fight on the ground but good takedown defense is what Grasso is all about, and she can now play it safe that is why her fight was finishing on a decision win, but for me Alexa Grasso truly is will win this, so my pick is Alexa Grasso,

Jonathan Martinez VS Cub Swanson

Stake odds for this fight are 1.49 for Martinez and 2.55 for Swanson, I have never seen after that Darren Elkins fight in 2021, and I don't really like his fight with Giga Chikadze he lost to Chikadze While Martinez has a consecutive win of 3 for me a safe bet will be Jonathan Martinez I really think that Martinez would win this we got to see their age and Cub Swanson looks old, on his age, so for me, Jonathan Martinez is my pick,

Askar Askarov VS Brandon Royval

The stake odds for this fight are 1.42 for Askarov and 2.85 for Royal, Askar has only 1 lost and it was from Kai Kara-France for me Askar can win this with his ground game, and with his stand-up, a decent  one aswell but both men are pretty much well-verse with the ground game, for me Askar Askarov will have an edge with his type of wrestling like Khabib it will be a chain of multiple Submission for me Askar Askarov will win this,

I've got Charles for that fight. I'm just not convinced with Makhachev, and it does seem like Charles always gets underestimated. Although, I do think it'll be a entertaining fight. I also think the Grasso vs Araujo fight will be fun.

I'll be back for the Izzy fight thankfully. I'd be absolutely gutted if I missed that. I'm actually quite nervous about that fight. I'm just hoping it lives up to its hype, and I'm not too disappointed come the end of the fight. Hopefully, the added fuel causes Izzy to take some risks, and actually look for the knockout himself.

I don't think Khabib will ever come back. He made a promise to his mother, upon the death of his father. That's not something you can go back on. Only if his mother insisted, which the impression I've got from her, that ain't going to happen.

You are not going to miss that much for this weekend with Grasso vs Araujo but I think UFC 280 Oliveira vs Makhachev will be much more interesting in next weekend.
Just make sure to be home or watch on the roads Adesanya vs Pereira on November 12, you really don't want to miss that one.
Try following news in forum and we are going to post links and highlights as usual.

^ I still don't understand why a lot of people say that Khabib is not as good as everyone thinks he is. Those who actually know about fighting, I will say that he was the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Some people still say that Khabib vs Connor 2 needed to happen. But as Dana White said, there is no need for that. Because the fight was quite convincing the first time. And I don't understand how people say that Khabib is overrated. At the age when he was fighting against Bears, Connor was playing with Teddy Bears.

A little confused about Dariush vs Gamrot. But I am going to keep Gamrot ahead.
Katlyn vs Manon, I am undecided about this. Chookagian is a good fighter but Manon is also not someone who can be underestimated.

About Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva, I think  Anderson Silva is really old. And Jake Paul is someone who is beating the fighters that he really shouldn't be beating. Obviously, I am going to say Anderson Silva but I cannot. I have to agree with the fact that Jake Paul is good.

Honestly, after reading your reply was the only time I found out Grasso was the favorite in this fight. I didn't check yesterday.
Anyway, my bet is locked already for Araujo as I think she really has a higher chance to win this if she can wrestle her way until the final round.
Avoiding a counter that will end in a submission might be their strategy but as much as possible take Grasso's back to the mat or just box her until exhausted.

I'm missing the next few events unfortunately due to travelling. I'm going to miss my UFC weekends, but I will get my predictions up early this week for the next event. Obviously, any cancellations I'm probably not going to amend. If I do make any predictions in the next few weeks (situation depending) I won't be reviewing any footage, so it'll be done from memory rather than statistics or anything like that. So, I could potentially be right off for the next three weeks.

Looks like I'm missing a few good events too, and obviously the boxing with Anderson, and Jake which to be honest I was quite looking forward too. Anyway, as for the Khabib, Woodley debate I don't think there's much debate in it. Wrestling wise Khabib probably takes it quite easily. Remember, Khabib was a champion in Sambo before he came into the limelight, and a bloody good one one at that. So, while he may have had a relatively short UFC career, he's probably got one of the longer careers out of most fighters. I mean, we've all seen the bear video.

It is very head shaking that our sexy fighting kitten Alexa Grasso is again underestimated against the Brazilian Araujo considering that Alexa is the favorite. Does everyone not see that Araujo's head is hit very easily and the pretty Alexa's grappling has improved? This fight will be won by who can throw more punches and kicks and this will be Grasso, I reckon. Grasso by decision.

@YuginKadoya , Khabib fighting Jake Paul is not going to happen in a million years. It doesn't matter how much anyone tries to do that. If any fight with Khabib can actually happen, I think it is going to be Khabib vs GSP. Dana Actually approached GSP with the proposal of fighting against Khabib after his (Khabib's) retirement. And he approached GSP in a way that GSP thought Khabib had already agreed to this fight. But Khabib was done. So, I really don't know if that fight is going to happen, even though it is going to be the biggest money fight of all time in my opinion.

He surely outdid himself alright, saying that Khabib Nurmagomedov did not fight any good grapplers or grapplers with good hands maybe he wants to challenge Khabib to fight Jake Paul aswell, but I don't really think that Khabib will be too kind to take that bait,
Well, Tyron Woodley is not really viable right now many really think he is out of his mind for saying such things, and the balls to really compare Nurmagomedov to a steroid-using fighter, for me Khabib should accept to fight Woodley in an exhibition match on MMA rules so he can see first hand what he is talking about,

I agreed MMA is continuously changing and comparing the style of Khabib Nurmagomedov to the style of Sean Sherk is really down right Absurd, it is possible that his brain got damaged for not beating the problem child 2 times, and got knocked out even his brain cells got knockout aswell, for getting up something like this, or maybe he is trying to pull down the greatness of Khabib Nurmagomedov in trying to fight Jake Paul aswell, I really don't know what he is after, but that short legacy of Khabib will surely remember but not Tyron Woodley,

Yeah Araujo is a good underdog pick if she shows up in that kind of shape and if she could maintain that pace for 5 rounds.  And I'm not sure how Grasso is with the take down defense these says against a fighter like Araujo.  I remember she got rag dolled by Felice Herrig back in the day.  She was a huge favorite in that match up too.

Maybe age is a factor he was playing bad only 1 win in the last 5 fights. after UFC didn't extend his contract, can he fight with another event?, because He was a legend, His name might still sell well on television. And, I still confusing about his citizenship, he was born in Ukraine but bring a Rusian Flag.

On October 10, 2022, it was announced that Oleinik was released from UFC after completing his contract

Bye-bye The Boa Constrictor. It was always fun to watch your fights. I think Aleksei Oleinik is going to completely retire from MMA and focus on teaching his techniques to others. The guy is 45, 8 years in UFC, 78 professional fights and has been fighting since 1996.

I really think that O’Malley is overrated. Yes, he is finding success in his career. But I think he is being given a lot more credit than he actually deserves. He has had 16 fights in his career and never lost. That is a remarkable career so far. But I think he still has a lot to prove in the future. Obviously, he is not meant to be scared of Yan. But that does not mean that he will not get beaten by Petr Yan. By not saying that this is going to be the first L for O’Malley. Even though I really do not like him, I have to agree that he is a really capable fighter.

I am not interested in hearing what Tyron Woodley says about Khabib Nurmagomedov. Woodley was nowhere near the greatness of Khabib. So, I think he should keep his opinion to himself. Like TopTort777 said, I am not willing to listen to someone who lost against Jake Paul (a YouTuber).
