I don't think it will off betting on Chimaev as winner but maybe some special bet or win by him and fight not going long distance could be better.
I just can't see Diaz going full five or even three rounds with Chimaev, but this is his last fight in UFC so with lot of weed and preparation he could pull of some miracle.
My early prediction is Khamzat Chimaev to win with ground£.  

They offered him release from his contract, last fight and nice goodbye money.
Dana White don't like Diaz brother and they don't like him, but I think he will continue fighting in some new organisation.

Can you believe that since his last fight with Connor in 2016, he only had three fights in UFC, and this will be fourth!?
I would want to leave UFC also if I was in his shoes.

I was talking about Jack Shore (the other Welsh guy) losing to Ricky Simons last weekend. It was his first professional loss. Mason yeah came in on a short notice on that fight I believe, and obviously has only lost the one in his professional record. So, going pretty well I'd say for the welsh men in the UFC.

Don't say that, I've already put Mokaev on a bet now. I've got it running with a few others on the night, and the Liverpool game today, which I don't usually like betting on friendlies, but here we go.

I do like Klein though. He's a bit frantic at times, but a good fighter nonetheless. I've obviously got Mason on my betslip. I'll post my actual bets, this one's just for fun one at the moment.

You mean Mike Davis?  That's the guy he lost to.  I think Mason Jones came in that fight on short notice so it's fine.  And if Jones can win vs Onama I think he has way more chances to win vs Klein with his forward pressure.  Klein hates fighting off the back foot.  Looking at my lottery ticket again, I should've placed Jones at my top ticket and Mokaev at the second one.  I feel like Mokaev could spoil everything.

Here are some vids to watch.

I'm not sure it will be devastating to Nate. He's going to lose for sure but he could probably match his intensity and give a good show at least initially. Nate can also take a battering and won't give up easily. The only thing that worries me is Nate has been out of action for so long. He hasn't fought for a year and has only had 5 fights since 2016. I respect him for taking the fight either way. I'd like to see him do the trilogy with Connor but I've got a feeling he's going to bounce from the UFC after this fight.

Nate Diaz has been in trouble since 2012, almost every time Dana White offered more money, but it seems like the end has come. Because Nate Diaz said he's not going to accept a new contract anymore. We see such a comparison from Dana White to brighten Khamzat. Before Nate Diaz left, he arranged for a match like this to tear him apart and lower his popularity. I assume that he will lose this match, but I have the utmost respect for him, did he say that what will he do after the ufc?

Just take a look at their records, and you'll see that Curtis has wins over the very top level guys, and his only losses have come to the current champion, and another top five fighter. Compare that to Tom, who is very much on the rise, but hasn't been really tested all that much. There's a massive difference. That doesn't mean Tom doesn't go in there, and knock Curtis out, but I'll be betting on Curtis while cheering on Tom.

I like Tom, and I think he's a brilliant prospect, but I do think this match up might have come a little too soon for him. He ideally needed a few more lower down opponents before Curtis. Especially when you look at his wrestling skills, but again his stand up is nothing to scoff at either.

In actuality you are correct Aspinall doesn't have the experience in taking on Curtis Blaydes at all, and even though I have put high regard on him I am really torn between Blaydes and Aspinall But I really like Aspinall to win this, but for Curtis Blaydes, he is one dude you don't really want to mess around, In regards to Curtis great advantage on the ground I think that Aspinall is pretty much aware of that, and I think he is training for that, but for me, I think even though Tom Aspinall has great advantage on the stand-up he can not underestimate if Curtis Blaydes ha improve with the stand-up aswell,


That was a hilarious photo, but yeah it seems that Dana White is really fed up with Nate Diaz, and for me, it is pretty obvious what Dana White really wants and the fight with Khamzat Chimaev is really a beast, and overall Chimaev is in the advantage from stand-up and on the ground, the percentage for Nate Diaz winning this is 5% saying this that percentage is the hope I have for Nate Diaz winning this,

And for O'Malley I really don't like that guy so for me it is OK if he can be eaten by Petr Yan, that is what I like to see, but in this fight, Sean O'Malley has the advantage with the height and reach but I'd like Petr Yan to Smack this kid well,

Yeah, anything can happen. However, I just don't see O'Malley getting the win. Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of him, and while I do respect his striking ability he isn't a very well rounded fighter. He'll never be champion in my opinion, and I don't think he'll get that close unless he significantly develops his overall game. Yan either out strikes him or looks to control him in the grappling situations or gets in on the mat.

I'll be betting on Yan.

Poodle seems to be a nice guy, that helps people with money, dont know why he has chosen an role of a bad guy and talks shit about his opponents. I think he will try to use his reach advantage for 200% or 300% against Yan. But again, like with fight against Aljo, everyone already bury O`Malley and predict Yans victory. Everything can happen inside octagon. One good jab, followed by TKO and  easy fight turns into disaster.

I wonder what has UFC offered Nate, that he has agreed to fight Khamzat, when he is not really interested in money. Big fight? Nate wants to make a final fight that everyone would remember? Accepts any challenger just to get our of UFC ?

This just seems like easy money to me. Alright, the odds won't look great, but Petr Yan, and Chimaev look to have a relatively easy night. Chimaev will likely look to out strike Diaz, if he can't do that he can always take it to the ground, and finish it any time he wants.

Very odd matchmaking in my opinion, but I'll likely make the most of it. I know this is seen as a heathen thing to do, but bet365 has a accumulator bonus on right now, so you could make the most of it, and just chuck them on your accumulator for a extra 10% bonus.

I don't know if something's changing with Dana White's mind. However, it is clear that he is not on good terms with Nate Diaz. But I think feeding Nate to ranked 3 Chimaev is way too much. Although financially this works well for UFC. Chimaev already said that he will finance Nate's burial. This is gonna be brutal and then Dana will release Nate from UFC.


Another match that is surprising is between Petr Yan and the Pink Poodle. Is the UFC ready to let go its investments on Sean O'Malley after years of babysitting? Or this is just a drama and marketing strategy for O'Malley? Because I think O'Malley will back out from this fight in the next weeks to come. But I hope this will really happen. 

Yeah, Tom has fought decent opponents, but he just hasn't got the experience that Curtis has against the top guys. I consider Spivak a bit of a gatekeeper, and while Volkov is decent, he isn't going to become champion, and have the same fear that Ngannou has. Ngannou, Gane, Curtis, and even Derrick Lewis are also different gravy I think.

Like I said, I'll be supporting Tom, but if I were to put a bet on or make a prediction it would be Curtis, probably via decision due to his superior wrestling. Now, if Tom comes out, and dominates on the ground, that'll definitely put him in high regard. I just can't see that happening. The odds are also close suggesting the bookies are also thinking that Tom has the stand up advantage while Curtis has the ground advantage.

He only got 2 fights in the UFC and he is already hyped up, well watching his recent fights from Cage Warriors he really is good at positioning himself and using his long feet to Coil his opponent like a boa constrictor if you get locked by those legs of Paddy, you can never get out and he can always position you into an armbar, and even though all of his opponent in the UFC are just punching bags, I think when it's time he got to show a more aggressive fight with the upper-rank fighters, Well there are a lot of Meme's about Pimblett and 1 was about his body size that I think was really a bad joke for him, but what do you know it is what it is, Pimblett just got legit metabolism, to gain and lose weight,


It's good to hear that you've enjoyed Matt Stonie, back in the days, when I 1st saw a video about his eating competition I was very curious about how they are stuffing Hotdog sandwich in their mouth and shoving it in and swallowing it whole, and when I was watching his channel that he constantly eating a lot that when seeing him eating I would likely want to eat aswell, pretty much Paddy Pimblett, if not the same as a close metabolism like Paddy Pimblett but yeah just like you have said it maybe was him Matt Stonie when not on the focus of the camera, will vomit his food intake,

Khamzat Chimaev VS Nate Diaz is not so good in my opinion, against Chimaev I really don't know why did this fight happen at all it is not really fair for Nate Diaz to be pit to a lion, but for me it is still good news because I could then see Chimaev on action again, but yeah not a good match for Nate Diaz, I really don't know why he agreed on this fight yeah Chimaev for the win,

I think that Stipe Miocic have good last chance if he makes good preparation with better tactics than last time.
He did lost against N'Gannou last year but he was better against him in 2018, showing that he can be defeated.
Derrick Lewis was better than N'Gannou in same year 2018, but all this fighters I mentioned are getting older and near 40 years that could be problematic.
Tai Tuivasa is youngest guy from the top with 29, and Ciryl Gane is 32 with much less fights than other fighters, so there is room for growth.
Maybe Jon Jones finally comes back in UFC heavyweight category and messes up everyone plans  

Tom Aspinall had two good opponents in his last two fight Sergey Spivak and Alexander Volkov and both were strikers and Curtis Blaydes is the toughest opponent he every faced simply because of the elite wrestling skills but Tom Aspinall is good at submissions and a well rounded fighter and i think it wont be that easy for anyone to take Tom Aspinall down as he also has wrestling background but my prediction is that Curtis Blaydes will be able to takedown Tom and win by ground and pound.

Ciryl Gane probably has a shot if/when they face again. Blaydes if he goes to his wrestling, and avoids the big shots, can definitely do it. It's one of the those divisions where a long reigning champion isn't really expected, due to the big punchers in the division. I think Blaydes is more than capable, and I do think as I said before is rather underestimated. I'm not even sure why, he has a decent punch on him, and has some of the most well rounded wrestling in the division, which is a upper hand on the current champion who has very limited wrestling skills. Despite, recently out wrestling Gane, which I'll be honest was shocked about.

Yes, it's gonna be awesome if we have the electricity to watch this fight in autumn
Great to see Diaz is coming back if he doesn't get injured again, but my money is fully on Khamzat Chimaev to win this fight, and I am sure Diaz face will be full of blood in this farewell fight.

Blaydes is hoping that winner of this fight will fight against winner of Ciryl Gane vs Tai Tuivasa, so he is not going to miss this chance to go up in rankings.
Heavyweight category is heating up, we are waiting for Stipe Miocic to come back, but I am not sure who can get beat champ Ngannou, I think Blaydes can't do it.

C   Francis Ngannou
1   Ciryl Gane
2   Stipe Miocic
3   Tai Tuivasa   
4   Curtis Blaydes
5   Derrick Lewis
6   Tom Aspinall

Yeah, hopefully Mason can bring back the win, after the disappointing Jack Shore loss. Although, that was still a decent fight, and Ricky Simon is an exceptional wrestler. Anyway, back to the Klein fight, the only problem I have with this fight is I quite like Klein, and I think his odds aren't really fair. I expect a much closer fight than what they're predicting. I'm probably not going to be able to watch this weekend's event, but I might put a small bet on, as I'm liking the look of some of the match ups. I'll post them later in the week.

Yup and we haven't seen Aspinall vs a really good wrestler like Blaydes is.  I mean I would love to see Aspinall get the W  but it's going to be hard imho.

Btw Mason Jones is in the event.    That's a good match up vs Klein.

Here are my lottery tickets...  Feel free to fade or follow at your own risk.  Rofl.

Mokaev - Wood - Pimblett at 1.87
Add:  Jones - Diakiese - Pearce at 4.53
Add:  Blaydes - McCann - Curtis at 22.73

UFC Fight Night London:  Multi Master Challenge

Looks like its staged for Diaz to lose. him paired to Khamzat is just not a good idea. Its be a terrible loss. If they really want Diaz to stay still in UFC, Dana would set him up against McGregor but he gave a nod with Khamzat.

Its not because Diaz saw Burns get a close fight against Khamzat that he braves to face Khamzat. My guess was that this is because Diaz wants to get out of the contract since there was a chance for him to fight Jake Paul but him tied to UFC contract made it not possible. This is a punishment.
