but Paddy trains his stomach in McDonalds and competes among best.
As long as he keeps on winning, then it's fine. I'm not too bothered about what he does in his personal life. I say live your life the way you want, within reason obviously. If he wants to eat a truck load of food, then as long as he takes the weight cut, and fight seriously I'm not too bothered. Kevin Holland is/was a fan favourite, and he was a classic example for a period of time not taking fights seriously, which did annoy me. Paddy does turn up in the cage, and seems to take it seriously once he's in there.

I don't think he's champion material though, despite the UFC trying to push that narrative.

Lots of fighters only get in shape for fights and go to shit straight after them. I wouldn't recommend his current diet but if he can make weight and keep winning it shouldn't be an issue. I think the UFC are wanting to try shape him up to be the next McGregor because they know Connor is on the way out so they want someone who can sell fights and back it up in the ring. I think Paddy's allure will depend on whether he can keep winning. He's blitzing people in the first round so that makes him look good but he hasn't really fought anyone worthy yet.

Anyway, catch some good news - Khamzat Chimaev-Nate Diaz welterweight bout being finalized for UFC 279 on Sept. 10



This Autumn gonna be awsome!

I hope that gets finalised. It should be a war. I wouldn't get into a ring with Khamzat for any amount of money though  Grin. Guy is scary, though he got a shock in his last fight. McGregor should probably come back and fight Diaz for the trilogy or rematch Poirier. If he gets past them maybe they could give him a title shot but I hope they don't give him one on his first fight back.

With that age and eating a lot, his metabolism must be working double time, and if you know Matt Stonie the one that joins mostly on eating competition, whether it is a hotdog sandwich or Burger, or anything edible, he keeps on eating a lot on his channel but still keeps his shape, I think Paddy Pimblett metabolism is working just like Matt Stonie's metabolism and yes it is what they like as long as his winning the fight and keeping his weight check he can keep on eating anything he wants,

Well, anyone can be dubbed a champion by the UFC, and nobody really cares about it, Paddy Pimblett just happens to be very lucky to be given opportunities like this,

Yesterday I have googled Matt Stonie and found his channel. I think I've spend (or lost lol) 2 hours watching guy stiffing food into himself. What a strange way to spend an evening Cheesy That triggered grabbing salt crackers and beer, which later caused heartburn during whole due to lots of salt. Thanks YuginKadoya  Grin Grin Grin Maybe he has a fast metabolism, or after camera is off, puts two fingers in mouth and drop everything out. Maybe Paddy has a fast metabolism also, but his body transformations tells different.

That is why I dont like Paddy, but always excites to see his fights. Probably to have a confirmation for myself, if he is a real fighter-champion, or an accident guest in UFC.

I mean look at him. Guy is 27, eating junk food all the time, probably spending lots of time playing video games or goofing around. I dont understand why he likes to transform himself into a fat pig and them loose wait for fights. With body like he has, I bet he did not train, but prepares only 1-3 months before the fight. If he needs several months to prepare for a fight in a top fighting league, then he has a very talented guy but wasting his time. Or he has not faced a real fighter in UFC yet. I just cant stand the situation when others follow discipline and trains all the time, but Paddy trains his stomach in McDonalds and competes among best.

He also likes chocolates heheheehhee.



He has not yet faced a real fighter in the UFC, I reckon. However, his first fight can be considered a good challenge for him, but Luigi Vendramini does not have a high rank. Uncle Dana will only give him punchbags until Dana will not have a choice anymore and let hand sanitizer boy fight him for a main event hehehe.

Curtis Blaydes is not a fighter to be underestimated, he is even an Olympic-level wrestler. I was very positive for Curtis until Derrick Lewis was doing a silly dive and TKO was the whole thing. I used to say much better things for him, but now I can say that my mind has changed. His last two games were easier than Lewis. Now there is an Aspinal who has a winning streak against him, I think Curtis Blades' job is very difficult in this match. I think Aspinal will win this match.
I'm not sure why Curtis hasn't got a bigger fanbase than he does. He's a very accomplished fighter, whether that's wrestling or the UFC, as I said he has only lost against the best of the division. That's expected, especially at this weight class. It isn't like he has avoided the bigger fights either, which you could potentially say Tom has. Tom has had decent opponents, but if you compare the two, Curtis has had the more difficult journey to the top.

I don't know. I still think Curtis takes it.


That crazy dive was really unpredictable and uncharacteristic for Derrick Lewis to do so Curtis Blaydes doesn't have any option to react or to get ready for the impact, that is why it got him, but if the fight continues to the ground Derrick Lewis will sure lose to Blaydes, what I want for Blaydes is to get revenge 1st on what has Lewis did, that lost from Lewis I think was the cause for Curtis Blaydes to derailed Blaydes hype and fan base, for Tom Aspinall I really think he is fighting very smartly he's trying to fight whoever he can defeat and I think that is just an old strategy some fighters are doing I a not against it, but I don't like fighters that I know do such things,

I took a parlay on Aspinall, Paddy, Ciryl Gane, and Usyk (boxing). I hope Aspinall passes this tough test with flying colors.


Ciryl Gane? I think he will have a fight with Tai Tuivasa on UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Tuivasa this coming Sept. 03, and pretty much I am excited about that event because I will see Bon Gaming in action again, well for me Tom Aspinall will surely have a difficult time against Curtis Blaydes in my opinion, but maybe he can win against him, in my opinion, I am still 50/50 when it comes to Blaydes and Aspinall,

I didn't see people talking about this, but Alexander Gustafsson is coming back in octagon, and this is big news!
Not long ago I think he said that he wants to quit MMA carrier.
I thought he is retired. He's been inactive since losing his heavyweight debut to Werdum. Now he is back to light-heavyweight, and I'm not sure what he can bring to the current division. Maybe he is planning this return ever since, inspired by Texeira and Jan whom he had already beaten but continued with their careers and are still at the top. We'll see if he did find a second wind to turn his career.

Curtis Blaydes is an overrated fighter in my opinion. It resembles a wrestler rather than a fighter. His fists in the final fight were weak. Except for the knockout punch. He uses his body weight well. I saw Daukaus quite agitated. His mind seemed elsewhere during the fight. He was dazed. Daukaus shouldn't have quit his job. It was a boring fight.
I would never say that any overrated fighter can have 16-3 record in MMA, with 69% KO/TKO win record like Curtis Blaydes.
If you think he is that overrated try stepping in octagon with him and try testing how good he is  Cheesy
I think he is going to have weight advantage in fight against Tom Aspinall, and he has reach advantage as well, but I will wait before making any final bets.

His only losses is Ngannou x2 the current champion, and Derrick Lewis. Those are nothing to scoff at. Basically, anyone that faces Lewis will be in trouble since he always has that power punch. Probably the best in the division. Blaydes has literally only lost against the best, and while he might favour the wrestling, I don't think that's a bad thing.
And he lost only one time in last of his seven fights, beating big guys Alexander Volkov, Junior dos Santos and Rozenstruik.

I love the roster of match ups for this event.  And it feels like the main event could happen just like Chris Daukas vs Lewis.  Daukas was rising the rankings really fast then he hit a wall that is Lewis.  That's fine since Lewis is a beast.  But  what the match makers did wrong was match Daukas up with Blaydes right after.  That killed Daukas' chances to get into top 5 for the time being.  Too much too soon.

Anyway, funny line movement...  Blaydes went from a slight favorite to a slight underdog and it's still moving in Aspinall's favor.  If anybody is picking Blaydes I think it's best to wait til Friday.  He could be around 2.20 - 2.50 by then.

Edit:  Btw my weekend from a betting perspective sucked.

Curtis Blaydes is sure is something but after that KO on Derrick Lewis everything has changed and not many are in doubt about Blaydes and because of that he really needs this win, and Tom Aspinall is gaining a lot of popularity, I think that Tom Aspinall had gained a lot of supporters and I think it surely shifted after that win against Alexander Volkov and right now Aspinall has a great start in the UFC, and after his debut on the UFC he never lost since then,

If anything, I think the KO he got from Lewis taught him to always be aware that he should set up the take downs before attempting a take down or he'll get starched again.  Lol. 

I think Aspinall is pretty good prospect but Blaydes has fought against the best heavy weights in the UFC.  Like Fiziev having the biggest test in the cage against RDA, Blaydes is going to be Aspinall's biggest test.  As I've said before with other prospects, some questions will be answered.  It won't be walk in the park.

Right now its 2.04. Seem underdog but not to be underestimated. He fought a lot of top contender and only loss to those who are pretty much to the most outstanding fighter. I'm just looking at the records though. And Tom is also a rising machine, Dana must have protected Gane so he'd prefer to see Blades vs Aspinal after all this Blades has no big fan base.

The entire main card is worth watching though,  Paddy, Gustafson, Craig and etc.

There are some good points, but I believe if this kid works 24/7 in gym, he could achieve much more in future. I cant see his aim in UFC or mix martial arts except money. He wants to fight, he wants a lot of money, he wants carefree life. But it does not look like he wants to be a champion. I know that you are big fan of Israel Adesanya, so lets compare them. According to instagram, both like junk food and wasting their lives. I even think that Adesanya is having fun much more than Paddy (anime, parties, shopping, sweets, cars). But he is a champ and can afford it. He is working in gym. Ever seen Adesanya being fat? Even IT guys at my office look better than Paddy Cheesy With Paddy - I bet this guy spends most of his free time in pubs with beer and junk food. He will a star until he meets someone more or less skilled, then he would have 2-3 looses and everyone will forget about him.

Don't forget about Hentai, (Is that word allowed to be used here?) If Israel Adesanya can make money like that for being a champion why not Paddy Pimblett aim for the same goal, to have much money so he can do whatever he wants, of course maybe he doesn't want that kind of exposure, but still if Paddy Pimblett keeps on winning his fight, he will then rise to stardom, even with something like that anybody can be something he wants to become, and there are still a possibility that Paddy Pimblett can have what he wants he can also have something that Adesanya have

The Gracies literally created the UFC to demonstrate how dominant grounded fighters are compared to those that stand up. Alright, things have changed a bit, but any time a fighter has the wrestling advantage it basically means they get to dictate the fight. They decide where they want it, and a lot of the time it causes the better striker to be a littler hesitant due to that take down threat.

I want Tom to win, but if I was betting on the event I'd be going with Curtis, as mentioned above he has hanged with the best of them. Tom hasn't got the knockout power than Lewis has, lets be honest most don't. I honestly see Curtis either knocking him out or taking it to the ground, and winning via decision. I think it's a little bit too soon for Aspinall. Hasn't got the experience that Curtis has.

As for Paddy. I mean, yeah it isn't ideal for someone to be abusing their body like that. However, at the moment he has been winning his fights. Maybe, he starts taking it more serious when he has more serious opponents. His next match up I'm undecided. I've seen Jordan look good, and absolutely awful. So, really does depend on which version of himself turns up on the night.

Shame about the shoulder popping out, put a big dampener on a otherwise decent card. I know it didn't knock your socks off, but it was a decent night of fights. I predicted horribly. Most of my picks basically lost. My bet definitely did lose, and I don't think I got one method of victory correct. I was disappointed to see Jack Shore lose his zero the most.

Anyway, onto the next event. I probably won't be able to watch this one, as I'm away for the weekend. So, probably won't be betting on it. I only bet on things I can watch, as that's the fun part. I'll save my cash for the start of the Premier League, and the event after the next.

I will say, for the Curtis vs Tom fight, I'd like to see Tom win it, but Curtis has hands, and very decent wrestling. So, it could be a good night. 

That Shoulder Poping was due to a bad shoulder and Ortega had surgery before and that armbar was not really an armbar but it happens to pop Ortega's shoulder because of the tight pressure, but I guess it was very basic for him to really get hurt that time because of his Previous injury and Rodriguez is not really aware of it, that is why Ortega is calling for a rematch,

Well, it is really sweet and enjoyable when you got your bet and you are watching it comes to Fruition the excitement is there the thrill and the shouting aswell, it really has full of emotion in one package and sometimes you can not understand it at all,

I'd like Tom Aspinall to win this aswell and I think he also trained in BBJ so this is a fair fight and a close fight in my opinion,

The featherweight fight between brian ortega and yair rodrigez was disapointing i did not expect it to end so fast considering how good the two fighters are i did not expect ortega to lose so fast after he managed to resist volkanovski for five rounds in last year fight, i think the ufc might give yair rodriguez a title shot in the future.

Ortega Has a Bad Shoulder he has torn a Labrum back then and was out for 9-12 months so I think that Injury was because of that bad shoulder he has in the past, you can say it is a disappointing match for Ortega but he can not last five rounds just like he did with Volkanovski, because of that past injury he has, but man he is a warrior for saying he wants another rematch against Yair Rodriguez,

I am in agreement with everyone who is choosing Curtis Razor Blaydes to win this. However, the fight is in London hehehe. It might be the British mafia scaring another opponent of Tom Aspinall. Did everyone witness how Alexander Volkov lose easily? It is very much not like him to lose like that hehehehe. If Blaydes loses very easily, remember the British mafia.

It also appears that uncle Dana has chosen another victim for Paddy the baddy. I predict it will be another knockout victory for him.
