Glover Teixeira. That's who I'm going for, even though I quite like Jiří Procházka. I just think he'll use his know how, and experience in the fight. I imagine he's due to hang it up any moment now, so I'm just hoping he can get some good wins under his belt, and bow out before it gets a little ugly.

If he were to win this, I don't see him holding onto the belt much longer. His age has to catch up with him at some point, and there has definitely been signs of it doing so, even in the fights he has won.

That would be some surprise. I know we've already seen an upset in recent months in WMMA, but damn for Shev to lose this would probably be a bigger surprise.

^  I think Prochazka should get the 'W' but yeah, the line could be off.  I know Prochzka is really fast for his weight class and he's very athletic.  But he could get hit.  And I do mean get hit.  Watch his past two fights at MMACore vs Reyes and Oezdemir.  So yeah I pick Prochazka for the multi master and pick Teixeira for my lottery ticket.  Lower tier tho.

Choi - Allen
Kape - Fialho
Edwards - Garcia - Madalena
Juarez - JJ - Teixeira
Kang - Shev

^  Placed Shev at the lowest ticket as she doesn't add much value and she could be the one spoiling everything if I put her on top.

Here's jeremypwr's multi master for 275.

UFC 275 Multi Master Challenge
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-275-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5401701

Right, lets move on.

Lets take a look on next main events odds. Duelbits give 1.47 for Prochazka and 2.65 on a champ Teixeira. We have experience vs youth. Prochazka has 28 wins and 25 by KO, but only 2 of them  were gained in UFC. Prochazka has fought top9 and top7. Teixeira has been in UFC since 2012 and had victories over Blachowicz, Evans, Bader. Lost by decision to "Bones" (maybe even thanks to Jones dirty tricks with Glovers elbow). Should odds really be like that, in favour for contender? Is Teixeira really a temporary champ?

I would probably stop the fight if I was in place of Herb Dean, but it's not easy to make decisions when you have two giants like this octagon and they don't fall so easy.

It's time to move on to next events and something new from Singapore is called Road to UFC, so we have three days full of fights with fighters that could sign a new contract with UFC.
There are five fights every day with mix of fighters from Asia, Europe and other parts of the world, and I never heard about them but this is the right time to shine.

The thing is he might have been able too, but from Herb Dean's point of view, it didn't look good. He wasn't protecting himself, while kind of trying to run away while being stunned a few times. So, I'm in full support of stopping it, and I wish fighters just acknowledged that. Every fighter always says they can continue, even when they clearly can't.

I say he may have been able to continue because we don't know, but in all likelihood the way he was shying away from it, and not really defending himself effectively he probably would have been knocked out.

Oooh right!  That match up would've been more exciting than the main event imho.  But I think it's too early for Whitaker to take on another high level fighter after taking on Adesnya just a couple of months or so ago.  And he took on good fighters before the rematch before Adesanya too.  Till, Cannonier and a depleted Gastelum.  That's an impressive run.  And I guess who's going for it again by going thru Vettori, Costa and maybe Brunson?

Anyway, who do you guys got for the main event?  I'm thinking Prochazka for my mulit master and Teixeira in the low tier of my lottery ticket for value.

I though that Herb Dean is the best ref in UFC. UFC always use him in major fights. Or maybe I am under a vision UFC created around him. Without googling, I cant remember any bad decision he has taken. He is always protecting fighters against extra damage. Maybe he sometimes did not notice fighters holding fence, but that is not the worse what they can do.

Did you guys notice that this weeks UFC event is going to be in Singapore? This is only fourth time UFC is there. Glad that UFC is moving out from US and spreading roots everywhere. I only wish they had more European events.

I think I will just stick to these 4 fights and nothing more, in giving my thoughts on the main fight Glover Teixeira seems kind of slow when it comes to striking but that Rear naked choke to Jan Błachowicz was really technical that he set up Blachowicz in that position I think he can do it to Jiri Prochazka aswell, but Prochazka's advantage was his speed and not very unusual kind of striking that is why I like him, but for now, I will be sticking this feeling in I would further make my analysis soon,


There will be unnecessary calls that Herb Dean may give, but he is not perfect and often makes mistakes, but still, that call really saves Jairzinho Rozenstruik from further brain damage, or unable to fight anymore, you can also see that Volkov hesitates for a second and checked Rozenstruik because that is the plan, then when he sees that Rozenstruik is wobbly then a barrage of punches will surely going to get him, I really think Alexander Volkov, and I think he can even be further up the ranking to Derrick Lewis of Curtis Blaydes, but he can not go up further than that, I think he would rather get focus to those money fights more than engaging on to the belt.

That was quick KO win for Volkov against Rozenstruik and I expected to see to see fight ending early but not that early.
Rozenstruik later complained that stoppage was early and that he could stay in fight longer, but I doubt he would last much longer.
In co-main event Movsar Evloev was very dominant and I see him as one of the next big contenders for championship title in this category.

Before UFC PPV Volkov vs. Rozenstruik last week, there were some main card battles in the women dominance for the title, I also like watching some of the women fighters but only for the women fighters, but overall I like the main card matches for the men to fight for the title. So I think even though Whitaker and Vetorri are canceled in the next PPV fight but I hope to replace the main card match instead of the female fighter.

With the cancellation of Whitaker and vetorri for this up coming Saturday not the most exciting ppv you are right. In recent months fights that have headlined women have been a bit of a disappointment. This is nothing against women or the fighters themselves, just not really living up the hype, think Dana must have noticed this and with the return of his favorite shevshenko she is sure to put some oomf back into women's MMA. I expect a new champion with the Czech monster showing dominance of the old Brazilian.

Decent PPV event this coming weekend. I'm not too excited about it for a PPV but still good as there are nice match ups outside the main and the co main.  Watch out for Bontorin vs Kape, rematch between Zhang Weili and JJ and Choi vs Culibao...  Kang vs Batgerel should be good too for a low level match up.

Here's a list of vids to watch.  Enjoy.

I am not a big fan of Herb Dean and I got disappointed by some of his ring decisions especially on some crucial moments. But this time, I agree with him. I also do not think Rozenstruik recovered and Volkov was in a perfect striking position to deal more damage especially to the head. In that case, I don't think Rozenstruik has the strength, agility and skill to get away from further punishment.

I had a bet that I think I could have won and can get a ton of money once but I suddenly stop from betting on it, then a decision I surely regret it, but as I am thinking about it now I think it is still OK that I have stopped from betting because my money was still there but I haven't won a ton either, anyway, the women's division could be a bummer sometimes and you can not make any prediction regarding their fight because It sometimes not consistent and can have a different outcome from the one you have to think of,

It is a good thing that you switch your bet to Volkov, I am seeing a different route to the Heavyweight division, there are now guys that are very technical in the heavyweight division and Jairzinho Rozenstruik will not have a chance anymore, he was taken easily by Volkov, and yes it was really a good stoppage that everyone didn't notice, Rozenstruik was not in condition and is wobbly Dean Herb call was to initially lessen his damage,


And Unnecessary damage, he could receive a way ton of expenses in healing himself not from bruises and stretches but with brain damage if the fight still continues, many people really didn't see the importance of an early stoppage Volkov will not hesitate to punch even further if Herb Dean doesn't call it, and most fighters would not notice that his opponent is not in any condition to fight because of the heat of the battle so kudos to Herb Dean, for doing that there will be a lot of criticism but Dean is just doing his job and an excellent one for saving fighters lives,

I do feel that Herb Dean gets extra criticism for whatever reason. I don't usually have a massive problem with his stoppages, and quite frankly it's part of the game. We don't want them, but things happen so quickly at times it's hard to know. Especially, when the fighter might be telling you different. No fighter wants to get a TKO against them, so they'll always protest about it.

I thought this call in particular was a good call. If you look at the replays you can definitely see why he jumped in. We also finally saw a points deduction in the Jackson fight, although honestly he should have probably been deducted two. He must have put his toes back in 5-6 times after being warned the first three times. I'm glad the ref waited until the end of the round to deduct the points though, and didn't reset the position.

I see some people in the internet complain about early stoppage in the fight between Volkov and Rozensturik. As if Rozensturik could have recovered, he was protecting himself and could continue. As well as the Herb Dean stopped this fight, fighters were confused that this is over. I think Herb Dead did exactly what he should do, saved Rozensturik from receiving unnecessary punches.

We watched the Volkov Rozensturik card after the ufc break in 2 weeks, there were good matches. From now on there will be ufc matches every week for 11 weeks. Menifield won the first match by technical knockout in the first round and took two Takedowns very easily. He said this mma this is not kickboxing after winning the match

Evloev in the first round of the Ige match, Evloev jumped very clearly and had a knee, if it had been someone else, he would probably have been knocked out. Ige proved his resilience here. Elvoev grinded his opponent by messing up his fight for three rounds.

Coming to the main match, this match finished early. Volkov caught his opponent with a good right straight, but the referee was stuck in the middle, he could have continued a little more to not finish, I think he finished a little early in my opinion. But I did not expect this finish from Volkov. Frankly, it's too early.

See?  Lmao.  I couldn't bet and the top three tickets won.  -_-  I think I should always have at least 20 bucks ready for my weekly lottery ticket.  I should avoid doing dumb shit with the sig monies like going for 10x lev losing trades at Binance. 

Anyway overall it was a good event.  Some finishes, some close ones and some prospect showing that they have what it takes to be in the UFC.  Can't wait for the next one...  Here are the results.

Well, I had a opportunity to cash out for £500, but didn't take it as I thought the Karolina Kowalkiewicz would go to a decision. I didn't bet on either of them, just for the fight to go the distance. Definitely wasn't expecting Karolina Kowalkiewicz to come out like she did. Anyway, I actually had a pretty good night in terms of betting if it wasn't for that fight I could've been looking at £5k.

That last minute switch to Volkov again nearly paid off. Again, wasn't expecting him to finish Rozenstruik like that. Some might argue that Herb called the fight too early, but honestly if you look at it from his point of view I thought it was a decent stoppage. Rozenstruik didn't look good, stumbled several times during that combo, and was turtling up.
