I am looking forward for those two fights. I believe that a lot of people underestimate Tsarukyan and he can get easily on a higher positions in top. Few more years and he would be ready to compete with fighters like RDA, Dariush, probably McGregor.

Shavkat is a modest version of Chimaev. Just look in his kind eyes. Mark my words, fighters with a furry hats are extremely dangerous. Neil Magny probably gonna use his best tactics - winning by points. More than a half of his wins are achieved by judge decision. Unlimited gas tank. But that wont help against Shavkat.

Each and every one of us here has different taste in what we prefer to see in a fight and for me, it really doesn't matter as long as the fighter has a technicality in his moves and controls over a fight no matter what is the outcome may be, at first I don't really like the fight going to the ground, I always like the brawl, but after seeing Khabib Nurmagomenodov fight I was really in love with the importance of the ground game, and right now fighters are more on the technicality of the fight and it is reaching over to higher divisions, mostly Heavyweight is more on a 1st round knockout but now because of Cyril Gane, the fight has turned into a new path more likely to counter those fighters that don't have a plan,


At least you haven't kicked your TV to regret ever betting for Kyle Daukaus but it was really a shitty fight actually giving him as the crowd favorite to win was surely not a good sign, but at least you still enjoyed the other fights,

Well, most fights are unpredictable, and I lost so much that 1 fight got canceled, and like you, I was frustrated because I thought that Calvin Kattar won that fight, but the judges were really blind or not looking at the fight the whole time, it was a robbery, in Kattar's part in my opinion.

Lolol.    I was totally annoyed, I wanted to kick the TV.  But yeah...  I gotta do a better job to get the top ticket right to at least get my money back and live another day.  So note to self, don't but prelim matches in the top ticket or low level WMMA.  They're unpredictable.

And man the event was so good.  Out of all the events in the UFC this year, I think UFC London and this recent one at Austin have been the most memorable so far.  They're not even PPV events!

Yeah, I think I saw leea mention in one of the other UFC prediction threads it's a record KO for a single card. Did see at least one match got cancelled too, so could have been even higher. Definitely a treat -- unless you're the kind who likes fights that go the distance and/or submission, nothing beats a KO for me though

Didn't bet, but I actually predicted most of the clear favourites, so doubt I even came close to being in the sniff for a prize.

We don't see that in every event. Among the impressive fight besides Hollands was Ramos with his spinning back elbow. Its perfectly precise, it can't be his game plan. It must have taken much training to time that kind of attack.

I didn't listen to what was told by the predictions so I still go Kattar. It wasn't so bad though. Maybe if some other judge, it will be in his favor.

^
Well, I think we can all settle down and move on with what happened to the last event and on that controversial decision that happened I don't really like what the judges decided for Calvin Kattar losing, this indeed happens if you leave the results on the judges, but moving forward is another exciting fight and I know that many will love what is installed at us next,

All information was from Tapology

Horrible night for predictions, for the most part anyway. However, we've been proper spoiled the last two weeks. I'm not sure what the record is of finishes per card, but surely this one has to be up there? In between the quick knockouts we had some competitive fights. Pretty much exactly what you want when you tune in. I don't there was a bad fight in there. Some pretty dominant performance, but at the same time still being rather entertaining.

I did end up betting, but lost on the first fight with that bloody knee.

Ismagulov continued the match by boxing more and pushing his opponent. Kutateladze also tried to block him with good low kicks, both of them had good mobility and head movement. I think it was a very good match.

Buckley coordinated the match with tremendous explosive force. He almost showed off, he didn't let his opponent wrestle, he defended well. At the end of the 2nd round, the doctors did not allow him to continue because his eyes were closed. Buckley was the winner.

And speaking of the main game, the rounds were very close in the Katter-Emmet match. I hardly saw a kick in the Mac. It was almost like a boxing match. He threw good left jab while maintaining a great distance throughout the match.

All fights results:



Not too long of an event, and a good one at that.

I am a bit surprised that Kattar didn't show more domination in the standup :/ I could have seen this going in Emmet's favor if it was a grappling match, but I really thought Kattar had him on the feet.

And it's always nice to see a D'Arce in a match, props to Hollan for taking it.

Unfortunately, the fight was canceled due to Joe Lauzon, Leg Cramps he couldn't stand and walk so they need to carry him outside for the UFC doctors to check on him, and they have tried everything for the fight but yeah it was a Bummer,

But if the fight continued it will be a very difficult choice on who could win, but having something before the fight was very difficult for Lauzon and he feels sorry for Cerrone and for all the fans,



Pretty Much I am laughing the way you have said that, it was truly a great upset for the crowd favorite Kyle Daukaus was Knockout on the 1st round Roman Dolidze have rocked Daukaus with that sweet left hook, and a recovering Daukaus then got by that Knee to the face that really knocks him out, it was really a shitty fight if you bet for Kyle Daukaus,

Here are the Results for the UFC Fight Night Kattar VS Emmett

Calvin Kattar VS Josh Emmett Decision Round 5 - LOST

This is I say a very controversial fight, and I really don't agree about the judge's decision, definitely, Calvin Kattar should have won that fight but it was a very close fight and a very important fight for Calvin Kattar because if he wins this he can get a title shot on the fight between Volkanovski and Holloway but because of the judge bad decision the title shot could eventually go to Josh Emmett, I really think Sal D'Amato and Chris Lee didn't really judge correctly in my opinion,


Donald Cerrone VS Joe Lauzon - CANCELLED

The fight was canceled due to Joe Lauzon having leg cramps, which enables him to stand and walk but Joe Lauzon has given him sorry to Cerrone and the fans, here is his VIDEO explanation about what happened. 


Maria Oliveira VS Gloria de Paula Decision Round 3 - LOST

Maria Oliveira is a real powerhouse, the combination she has landed on de Paula was really giving her points, but I think Gloria de Paula becomes aggressive when she thinks she is behind on the score cards but surely another loss for me Maria Oliveira experience really proves that she is a caliber fighter than de Paula, 

9 finishes out of 13 fights.

Tied for most KO's in a UFC event.

Gross revenue at $1.9 Billion which is said to be the highest in US Fight Night history.

Happy retirement to Zabit Magomedsharipov. He's definitely one of the mot entertaining Russian MMA fighters and could have been a UFC champ at Featherweight if not for the injuries.

I saw this pic from a Facebook page and the funny quote from the comments:



- President Z. Magomedsharipov

Good win there by Josh Emmett. I thought he's gonna fade big time in the championship rounds and Kattar will start dealing damaging blows and maybe stop him, but he did well especially in the last round. The fight could go either way but I thought Kattar might win it close. Maybe next is Brian Ortega or Yair Rodriguez then a title fight shot? He is not getting any younger.

Okay back to ESPN's big boxing show. Life of a fight fan.

Fuck me.  Daukas is my pie shitter of the week.  I'm out.  I'll watch the replay later.

Edit:  Ok I lied, I'm still watching.  Lol.  And all of these fights so far have been great!  This is a way better event than 275.

Hey, don't tell that to Dom Cruz, he dosen't belive in ring rust. I would agree for the most oart that satying active would be a better option, but Cerrone's body has taken it's fair share of torture and ad this point I eould go with the fresher fighter Lauzon.

HOWEVER, the fight has been cancled. Here's a wild idea. Maybe, just maybe this two retire and we don't play this game anymore. First Cerrone got sick and now Lauzons knee got locked up. Ya know, this just might be a sign of, I don't know, your god damn bodeis falling apart?

Just let it go you two please.

A really difficult fight, Cerrone has a series of losses and he is old, but he has practice in the ring, and Lauzon wants to return to the ring after such a long break, which is also very difficult. I can’t give a significant advantage to any fighter, but I think that two years without fights is a very big minus for a fighter, and that’s the only reason I will give preference to Cerrone, who should finally win.

Here is my pick for the UFC Fight Night Kattar VS Emmett highlight in green are my picks

Calvin Kattar VS Josh Emmett

Josh Emmett has the strength in his wrestling he could surely carry his opponent like a rug doll or simply he can surely finish the fight with a ground and pound, while Calvin Kattar can have the fight standing and technically fight you with striking, this is an interesting fight actually because this is going to be between a wrestler and a striker fighting, but I really like the style of Calvin Kattar, and he could surely technically crawl this fight until the 4th round because I think that will be the time that Josh Emmett will be gas out I don't really know if Emmett can last until the last round but surely Kattar can do that can end the fight in a different passion,

Donald Cerrone VS Joe Lauzon

Joe Lauzon is just returning to the UFC after 2 years of no fight, I really think that after these fight these 2 needs to retire, Cerrone looks really old, and right now he surely has 5 consecutive lost right now, while his opponent was a returning fighter after his fight from 2019, he hasn't seen inside the octagon again, but Lauzon had a great fight with Jonathan Pearce with a TKO that was his last fight on the UFC, and I think he can probably do that again, so I will be going with Joe Lauzon,

Maria Oliveira VS Gloria de Paula

I really think that this is an interesting fight, I think that Maria Oliveira has the strength but I don't see any technicality, and I guess it is really unpredictable in the woman's division, but I guess Gloria de Paula can go on a clinch and can also finish the fight with a submission, while Oliveira can sure fight but I think our fighting kitty is more well rounded than Maria Oliveira, so I will go with Gloria de Paula,

^ Easy to be inspired when you want to be healthy and fit and then learning BJJ after watching UFC sports. If there is just time for me to drive 15 miles to a facility and trainors, I would probably be training as well. Wanna get used to sparring so I wont panic whenever someone is hostile right infront of me. I learned I do panic when it did happen around 3 years ago.

Katter seem confident but I'm sketical to bet for Cerrone. The one that I may expect to win is Holland, I think he had learned alot and is up for another wining streak.

Here's the thing about what we've seen in the UFC with Kattar so far...  Against higher ranked opponents, he tends to lose but against guys ranked lower than him, he tends to look really good.  We've seen the contrast against Zabit then against Jeremy Stephens.  There was also the loss against Holloway then we saw how Kattar came back owned Chikadze's soul after  the loss.

Emmet is lower ranked, so Kattar will mostly likely look good in the cage.  But yeah...  We'll see.  We've been surprised a lot of times in this game.

I really don't think this fight will become boring from Josh Emmet's explosiveness it will be one rough fight for Calvin Kattar, but yeah the 1st round will surely set up their momentum and I think that Kattar is the more technical fighter here than Emmet, but Josh Emmet has the explosiveness to change the fight momentum and can pressure Kattar on the ground, and I really think this is not going the distance, in my opinion, it may just go 3 to 4 rounds, depending on who's aggressive and have the more advantage on the fight,


I really think this is a chance to win for Donald Cerrone, his opponent isn't active for 2 years, but yes we can not always rely on that both fighters are in their mid 30's so I really think this will be an interesting fight and a chance for Cerrone get a win and get his fight money,


Most woman's fights are very unpredictable, even though maria Oliveira has the most experience, for me Gloria de Paula can put up a good fight, but with Maria Oliveira's Reach and height advantage this fight could have a possible high win rate for Oliveira, but Still de Paul will give her a fight she won't forget,


I really think that she is improving from her previous fight that is why I say that she may give Maria Oliveira a hard time with her fight but really Oliveira got some advantages that we can not ignore, from her experience to her Reach and Height advantage it could be a wrap for de Paula, but I just believe in the strength of our fighting kittens to surely give their best so I am supporting Gloria de Paula on this one,

However, our sexy fighting kitten has very much improved. She was defeated by a good sexy kitty fighter called Cheyanne Vlismas but she has also won her next fight versus Diana Belbita who is another good sexy fighting kitty hehehe. I speculate that uncle Dana will be giving pretty Gloria de Paula these very easy next fights for her to secure a winning streak. They want to help her career because fans like her.
