Bobby Green x1.86 vs. Paddy Pimblett x1.94

My prediction for Paddy the baddy vs. the King Green is this will end in a split decision and the judges will give the victory to Paddy because where is this fight? It is in the United Kingdom hehehe. Similar to Jared Gordon vs. Paddy the baddy, this should be a victory for King Green, however, the judges will disagree hehehee. Uncle Dana will also be very thankful because he can continue the hype on his pet.

Interested to see my fellow Liverpool fan, Paddy The Baddy tonight. I walked past him once at Anfield, other people were asking him for photos but I didn’t want to piss him off so I didn’t. Wish I would have now.

Any way, this is the biggest test of his career, I just hope he can get through it.

It appears Paddy The Baddy, your fellow Liverpool fan has won the fight very convincingly hehehe. If you seem him somewhere again, I am very much certain will never be angry with his fans and a fellow fan of Liverpool.

On the biggest fight of his career, it was only 1 round and it was not challenging. King Bobby Green was sleeping before he can tap. I am very much impressed, however, he will be more hated because of this heheh. There many fans who want to see him lose.

50-50 chance for Mokaev right? The fight could end with just one hit from Kape.

^ Yeah it looks like Edwards had the upper hand on that exchange. But if you're betting on the main event it's prolly better not to read into these things too deeply. Aspinall being there and saying how it was all drama was funny tho. Cheesy

Here's the pre fight conference. It was kinda boring tbh... Even with Edwards and Muhammad's animosity towards each other.

Can't just expect something remarkable to happen when two boring fighters who won most of their fights by decision are in the cage, they did promise their audience to KO each other though. But it's the low-expectation fights that can make surprises we never knew Leon could once again make that head kick that KO Usman. Or it could be an eye poke again and we'll see Belal crying over it.

I love how tokeweed likes to post pre and post fight conferences, face-off and weigh-ins, so here is a vid before face-off https://www.instagram.com/reel/C90S6grS00Y/?igsh=ZGNiNnRuZzZxZ3M2 Cheesy

Belal and Edwards met in elevator. For me it looks like Belal is nervous (also that chewing gum was annoying Cheesy

). He was the first to start insulting, instead of being calm. The way he tries to humiliate Edwards, does not look like a solid trashtalk and a try to get into head Cheesy

And the end of the win is hilarious. A man who is super calm and can beat Edwads and Belal easily Cheesy

Wow... The winner of Mokaev vs Kape could fight for the title next and they schedule the match at the prelims..? That's fcked up. Lol. Not to mention the disrespect. But yeah, it is what it is. Still glad we'll be seeing Mokaev finally tested by one of the better fighters in 125. But the weigh cut... Let's hope it's not going to be too bad for Kape. He's always had this problem in the past.

Mokaev Vs Kape is not even at prelims, it's now at early prelims. This is extra weird considering Mokaev is fighting in his own town, so you'd expect it to be treated with more prominance.
I suspect it could have something to do with the odd time of the event. The main events will take place around 3-4am, so maybe they just wanted to put some exciting fight earlier on, so people would show up early and stay for the whole thing. Just my theory.
Or maybe it's just Dana not taking the Flyweight too seriously?

Do you think we would see a new champion this weekend? Frankly, both, Belal and Edwards are not best options for being champions Cheesy

One is boring, other needs to be cheered during rounds as he does not believe in himself Cheesy

-snip-

I think I agree with what you said. Leon is a boring fighter because he is not explosive and tends to play it safe. But that seemed to be Leon's fighting style. What makes him great is that he mastered basic skills to the highest level. That's what made him the first fighter to successfully take down Kamaru Usman and lose his 100% takedown defense record. I think Leon is also the type of fighter who really carries out his team's game plan. It makes the fight "seem" boring but a win is still a win. Grin

To be honest, I don't know much about Belal. He is one of the top 10 at welterweight. I just knew Belal was the type of fighter who needed to be encouraged. Shocked

. CMIIW

I am not surprised Cheesy

As Belal is really a boring fighter. Check out his record. I think I had more finishes in my school backyard fighting career than Belal in his professional fighting career Cheesy

And I cant explain what is wrong with him. He trains with the best, always talk about finishing his opponent. But during fight he is to much cautious, fights from defence, prefers control over risk, have pillow fists.

Here are the odds for all of the main card fights:

Leon Edwards x1.44 vs. Belal Muhammad x2.80
Tom Aspinall x1.27 vs. Curtis Blaydes x3.80
Bobby Green x1.86 vs. Paddy Pimblett x1.94
Christian Leroy Duncan x1.70 vs. Gregory Rodrigues x2.15
Arnold Allen x1.38 vs. Giga Chikadze x3.05

Not the main card, but Mokaev has decent odds at 1.68 against Kape (x2.18).

I feel sure that Aspinall is going to finish Blaydes. Tom is simply way better than Blaydes. Blaydes, I dont know, that guy seems to be always near becoming a champ, but always looses his chance.

And God how I want Green to whoop Pimblett ass. Pimblett is way to much arrogant. A short film how Pimblett destroyed his reputation in 31 sec

34 years for a heavyweight isnt much. Many heavyweight fighters in roster are 40+, some managed to become champions at 40+.

Since we all love McGregor so much, I think we have missed the news when he has bought bare knuckle fighting championship promotion (at least I dont remember discussing it here). And he has already managed to fire Mike Perry (former UFC fighter, former king of violence champ (analogue of BMF probably lol Cheesy

)) for fighting against Jake Paul Cheesy

Pereira is not #2 in pound-for-pound ranking Cheesy

Bones is only third. Yesterday while watching YouTube, I have caught myself thinking where is Gane? He has started so active career. Every year he fought 2-3 times. Now, half of 2024 has passed and there is not even a single rumour about his next fight, not a single word. I dont remember him being injured or have controversies with UFC. Neither he wasnt released from UFC.

Cyril Gane was one of my favorite fighters when he debuted in the UFC. But it's a shame that Gane had a short career because he started his MMA career at the age of 28. I think this is really crazy because within 3 - 4 years of starting to train in MMA, Gane managed to enter the ranks of top level fighters in the UFC's heavyweight class. Yes, I also thought, where is Gane and why didn't I get any news about him? Did two defeats in the fight for the heavyweight belt make him mentally down? Gane is 34 years old and that means his chances of becoming champion will be even more difficult. Gane has the talent to be a fighter but unfortunately he still has to learn wrestling and that will take a long time. Gane's 2 losses to Ngannou and Jones were also due to wrestling and the ground game. I think everyone would be very disappointed if they lost twice in such an important battle.

I missed the first three matches on the event as I thought it would start at 7:00pm ET... :-/ So I started with Maverick vs Barbosa which was meh... But then starting at Kelleher vs Gibson the event was a banger. Even the one that ended with a decision was a banger. Overall not bad for a Fight Night at the Apex imho.

Here are the results...

Virna Jandiroba def Amanda Lemos SUB R2
Steve Garcia def Choi Seung-woo TKO R1
Kurt Holobaugh def Kaynan Kruschewsky UD
Bruno Gustavo da Silva def Cody Durden TKO R2
Choi Doo-ho def Bill Algeo TKO R2
Hyder Amil def Lee Jeong-yeong TKO R1
Cody Gibson def Brian Kelleher SUB R1
Miranda Maverick def Dione Barbosa UD
Trey Ogden def Loik Radzhabov UD
Luana Carolina def Lucie Pudilova UD
Thomas Petersen def Mohammed Usman UD

The more I look on UFC 304 card, the more redicilous the fight between Aspinall and Blaydes is Cheesy

He is defending interim title Cheesy

This is even sound stupid. What next, defending a place in card with a none aired and official fight against someone? Cheesy

Just realized, that we read Blaydes surname the same as "blades", and his nickname is razor, which seems to be one and the same thing Cheesy

Curtis "Blade" Blaydes Cheesy

But if we're talking about the money Tom Aspinall will be receiving, holding an interim championship strap will pay Aspinall higher than not holding any belt. And it's a PPV event, he'll get PPV points too since he has a belt. It's better than nothing.

And Aspinall prolly wants the match up since the previous match ended up with Aspinall blowing up his knee. I'm really curious how Aspinall matches up with Blaydes and if Aspinall could defend TD's from a guy who's good at wrestling.

Here are the weigh in results.

Amanda Lemos (116) vs Virna Jandiroba (115.5)
Seungwoo Choi (145) vs Steve Garcia (144.5)
Kurt Holobaugh (155) vs Kaynan Kruschewsky (154)
Cody Durden (125.5) vs Bruno Silva (126)
Bill Algeo (146) vs Dooho Choi (146)

Trey Ogden (156) vs Loik Radzhabov (155.5)
Luana Carolina (125.5) vs Lucie Pudilova (126)
Thomas Petersen (258.5) vs Mohammed Usman (236.5)

How come Poirier plan to have a fight against Nate Diaz, if Diaz is no longer in UFC. And it seems, that Diaz was a pain Danas ass. I dont remember those two were in good relationships, and UFC were giving Diaz opponents he did not really wanted to fight. Ferguson who is old. Almost knocked out Edwards, but decided to slap and take a laugh instead (Diaz was thrown on Edwards like an easy fight). Not to mention he barely fought last years. No way UFC would sign Diaz for 3 fight contract again.

It's not like they have to offer him a 3 fight contract. They could easily do that as a one time thing only, if they wanted to.
But I'd be disappointed if Poirier fights Diaz as his final opponent. Even young Diaz was not on the level of the current top 5 lightweights. I know Poirier will be desperate to win it, but that's aiming too low.

Are you talking about last boxing fight between Daz and Masvidal?
I didnt hear anything about that until now, this is $9 million owed to him by Solomon Engel and his company Fanmio.
Everything about that guy sounds fake and shady Sad

Yup, he's not getting that $9 mills as the promoter is rumoured to be going bankrupt to avoid the lawsuit.
The $9 mills figure was unrealistic anyway, there's no way boxing bout between 2 retired mma fighters would generate revenue high enough to justify it. I don't think Engel ever intended to pay him at all.
