That was a nice left hook KO. From the looks of the punch it seemed like he didn’t even have much power behind it but it laid Neal out cold. I guess that shows you just how much power is behind every punch they throw. Deserving of the performance of the night and the only thing that really stood out to me as being newsworthy outside of the strange “did she tap” moment early on in the night.

Mohammed Usman messed up many bets along with Vicente Luque and even though Mohammed Usman is the brother of Kamaru Usman, he was not known to be a great fighter but under the bright lights he made his name which is incredible.

Leon Edwards has the real opportunity to score an upset when they fight for the title because Usman was rocked badly by Gilbert Burns, Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal and i consider Leon Edwards as a superior striker than the rest he faced and Usman is coming after a hand surgery, so who knows what will happen  .
   

Mohammed Usman did my accumulator in. I underestimated him after watching him on the The Ultimate Fighter. I know I didn't put out any predictions, but I hopefully will be back in full swing come next event, and hopefully have a few good winners. I believe Lean Edwards against Usman is coming up too, which I'm excited for, although I do think Usman takes it, I might put a speculative bet on Edwards just for the fun of it.

This was great main event and very good KO win for Jamahal Hill and he is for sure going up in rankings after this win against Thiago Santos, next fight for him should be with someone from top 5 in light heavyweight category.
He asked for Jiri Prochazka in press conference after the fight, but he would accept fight with Jan Blachowicz.
I am not sure if Mohammed Usman has any connection with Champion Kamaru Usman but he won performance of the night in this event with Geoff Neal.

^  Vicente Luque is the pie shitter of my lottery ticket.  I think it's his first time getting finished in a match in a looong time.  I'd be wary betting for him in his next matches now unless his next opponent is a total can.  But you could just see a fighter's career starting to going down when he gets back to back losses against guys who are getting better.  A couple of years ago I could never imagine Luque losing to Belal Muhammad and Geoff Neal.

Anyway, I'll make a proper roster for the next event later.  Congrats to those who cashed their tickets.

I think it is more updated if we look at the source on Tapology than with wiki but I think that event is an exciting one I like Marlon "Chito" Vera and what may happen with his fight against Dominick Cruz for now I like Chito Vera to win but will be looking out about Dominick Cruz, for some deep info,

Now here is the result on my picks and what I think happen with some of the fights in UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Hill

Thiago Santos VS Jamahal Hill ROUND 4 KO/TKO - WIN

The fight was really a Brawl or a war Thiago Santos really is putting his all with those takedowns but with no success, because Santos became too impatient with his takedowns and lost his composure, while Jamahal Hill was on point with his striking very accurate and was in composure than Thiago Santos, so that really caused his to lose to Jamahal Hill, and I have seen that comparing their power Jamahal Hill's punches was really stronger than Santos when Jamahal Hill hits Santos we could see his reaction and pretty much he reacts more hurt than when Thiago Santos hits Jamahal Hill,

Vicente Luque VS Geoff Neal ROUND 3 KO/TKO - LOST

Vicente Luque was devastated, and Geoff Neal was really on point and accurate with his strikes Geoff Neal's punches were really that strong to take effect on Luque so much and Geoff Neal really has the advantage on the stand-up he is so technical with his strikes, I really thought that Luque will resort with his ground game but with no success on it because Luque was really damaged to continue with his ground game,

Ariane Lipski VS Priscila Cachoeira CANCELLED

Disappointed but it is OK Ariane Lipski is Not Medically Cleared After Missing Weight but I have seen that their fight was moved to UFC Fight Night: Vera vs. Cruz,

It's one sided fight, that's why those fighter got KOs, TKOs and subs. Most of the times I only watch the main card since it's more interesting and more longer about their exchange punches. While preliminary card, it's full of 1-2 round(s) only.

Well the next event is mostly full of unknown fighters, I think I would skip to watch and waiting for next event, but at least I would bet on women fight since it would entertain myself.

Yeep This is it. Too soon but yep its happening. Pereira is hyped so much after Strickland which he called Izzy fora belt fight. Seem Granted.

The result could be different to what Pereira is thinking, that was years ago. Izzy had not learned what he have learned today so it would just like Pereira is chasing his defeat on the other side. Adesanya should look at this as his chance to redeem himself and finally put an end.

Check out all the opponents Jon Jones faced, after the loss none of the fighters recovered their career, everyone goes through a loosing streak and that is the situation with Thiago Santos and that is the only fight i predicted won and there were a few upsets in this card which was unexpected. I did not expect Mohammed Usman to win the fight let alone Vicente Luque loosing the fight by TKO.

---

On to the next event Dominick Cruz coming back after a gap against Marlon Vera and have title implications.



Source: Wiki

This one was for the masses Only KOs, TKOs, and subs. The only downside of an event like this is the length of it, a bit too short, but that's not something that can be controlled. I have to note that Thiago Santos has gone on a downward spiral since his loss to Jones, but I'll give it more towards his age and the fact he's 33 pro fights in (with god knows how manny amateur fights), and that just takes it's toll. Maybe the UFC is not the best place for him anymore and I doubt he wouldn't be cut after this loss.

Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira is the most anticipated fight in the division and after this fight if Adesanya wins he wont be having much of a competition. However considering this to be a stand up battle, even though the momentum is with Israel Adesanya he will be having that two losses in the back of his mind and if Alex Pereira does not force the action, i think this will be another boring slow fight  .

The best fighter ever but hardly comes to fight due to outside antics, such a waste of talent as he never fought like we as a fan wanted during his prime years.

Here are my picks for UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Hill highlighted in green are my picks

Thiago Santos VS Jamahal Hill

Stake odds for this match are 3.55 for Santos While 1.30 for Hill, well, this is absolutely a match that will become eventually crazy, Back then I really liked Thiago Santos, but right now his age is getting into him, he surely got decent wins back then but it is very different right now but still, he has come from a lost but that was against Magomed Ankalaev but for this matchup even though Thiago Santos has the experience advantage Jamahal Hill has the power advantage, he also got the height and the reach that he can use in his advantage, towards the fight, and because of that I am going with Jamahal Hill,

Vicente Luque VS Geoff Neal

Stake odds for this match are 1.51 for Luque while 2.60 for Neal, while Vicente Luque's last fight was against Belal Muhammad I really think he has done his all to win that fight while Geoff Neal's last match was against Santiago Ponzinibbio for this match I think Vicente Luque was more well-rounded, seeing him that he can finish the match in a stand-up or even in the ground, for being Well-rounded I am sure be going with Vicente Luque,

Ariane Lipski VS Priscila Cachoeira

Stake odds for this match are 1.53 for Lipski while 2.55 for Cachoeira, for this match I really love the fighting kitty Ariane Lipski, she surely got a pretty smile and beautiful face to die for, but yeah for me I will be going with the most well-rounded fighter, and even though Priscila Cachoeira has the advantage over his height, Ariane Lipski, has an advantage with his reach, and when it comes to the ground Lipski can sure pull this off, so my pick will be Ariane Lipski,

The signals for this fight were actually given in Izzy's last belt guard fight. They were on the same card, and Pereira seemed very eager to fight him. Honestly, I didn't anticipate this fight so early. After all, how many times did Pereira fight in the ufc, anyway. There's no longer a fighter capable of fighting Izzy anymore, so he had to be in middleweight. Izzy's job is very difficult because Pereira can TKO if his hands are too strong. I don't know which one to stand out for betting, I want to bet on this match when the fight approaches.

Lol then I'm pretty sure the bet isn't happening cos no way the UFC is matching those two again right away.  Nunes' next match would be at 145 to defend her belt there.  Pena on the other hand will prolly fight somebody else to make her way up into title contention again.

Here are the weigh in results.  One fighter missed weight.  And I think Quinlan vs Witt was rescheduled.

Thiago Santos (206) vs Jamahal Hill (205)
Vicente Luque (170.5) vs Geoff Neal (171)
Zac Pauga (239) vs. Mohammed Usman (236.5)
Juliana Miller (125) vs Brogan Walker (125.5)
Augusto Sakai (260) vs Serghei Spivac (249.5)
Priscila Cachoeira (125.5) vs Ariane Lipski (128.5)*
Sam Alvey (186) vs Michal Oleksiejczuk (185.5)
Erick Gonzalez (155) vs Terrance McKinney (155.5)
Bryan Battle (171) vs Takashi Sato (170.5)
Josh Quinlan (169) vs Jason Witt (170)
Miranda Granger (115.5) vs Cory McKenna (115.5)
Stephanie Egger (134.5) vs Mayra Bueno Silva (135.5)

Enjoy the event guys.  

This is a great fight for Israel Adesanya to prove if he's can beat Pereira because in kickboxing professional scene, Adesanya had met two times against Pereira and he lose that two fights. It was 5 years before, anything already changed and I'd think Adesanya already learn with his past mistake and perform better on UFC.

Pereira is really weak in ground fight and Adesanya even though doesn't good in ground fight, but he can escape if his opponent force him to fight on ground. Did we will see the first submission win by Adesanya?

Great to see we finally have exact date for Adesanya vs Pereira fight in November 12!
This is going to be the hardest fight for Adesanya after his adventure to light-heavyweight division and loss from Jan Błachowicz.
I just saw early betting odds on and Adesanya is heavy favorite, but there is more value in betting on Pereira.

Moving on to this weekend UFC event, and my pick in main event is on Jamahal Hill who is younger, in better form and he has slight reach advantage.
One more fight I am excited to watch is heavyweight clash Augusto Sakai vs Sergey Spivak, and we could see some surprises in other fights.
Speaking about heavyweight, Jon Jones posted his training video and said he is preparing for comeback against Ngannou or Miocic:

I was shocked to see this, and I really haven't thought that this fight is too soon, it was an early fight, after all, I surely know that we can eventually see this fight soon but for this early and on UFC 281 Santa has given us an early present, because it is on November 13, I really thought that Alex Pereira would have another match before the Israel Adesanya match, and I am thinking that we will be getting this next year, actually, for now, I am torn between again and I don't know who I am going to pick and because both surely can win and that is how good these two are, I am out of prediction analysis, but will be watching their last kickboxing match and look at their UFC highlights, and compare that, for now, I am out of it but excited at the same time,


Yeah! surely the UFC or Dana White is preparing for this fight to really happen I even think that it was really set up to make a shift in the domination of Israel Adesanya and we will surely see if Israel Adesanya really coop up from his previous loss from their kickboxing match, but if I were you I will not underestimate Israel Adesanya for now, if you would look at Izzy's previous fights he surely has a decent record but his previous fights might be not exciting as his old ones for some of the people here, but for me in a technical point of view I really like his style that is why he is called the style bender,

It's not a real shocker that Pereira get a title shot after just 3 fights in the UFC. First, he's 2 out of 3 wins have been exciting with flashy finishes. Secondly, there's a narative, a story to their match. So the two most important factors for UFC matchmaking have been met and I am confident that the UFC had a fight with Izzy in mind when they signed Pereira, they just needed a couple of wins to make it legit.

It's great to see Pereira getting his title shot with only a few UFC fights. There is no need to have a 5 or more win streak in the UFC to get a title shot. I would love to see Shavkat Rakhmonov fighting a top 5 in his next fight and be given a title fight next year.

Back into the fight. Izzy became a better fighter in the UFC but I still believe Pereira is the bigger and stronger guy. My bet is on Pereira. 

Remember I have told you that this autumn gonna be awesome? Welsh gonna like that - on the UFC 281 Istael Adesanya gonna face Alex Pereira   Revenge is comming. Or Pereira gonna prove once again that he is the best kickboxer on that weight division. This is going to be one of the toughest fights for Izzy.
