Def Tsarukyan is the better guy but Alvarez has been improving a lot and you could see it match after match esp his striking.  And his BJJ is very opportunistic with his back on the mat.  He’s also a big guy which I think could become a factor in this match.  Check out the face off.  His size could give Tsarukyan a hard time to take him down.

My only bets are Alvarez at 3.30 and the under 2.5 at 1.83 for the main event.  Good luck everybody!

While Khabib alone isn't enough of a draw, the prospect of earning more money than the UFC in the long term could be. I'm still undecided on Eagle FC, when you think about them competing with Bellator, and the UFC. However, I do think organisations such as them will promote a more healthy pay structure in the UFC. I'm all for competition, as it does usually create better deals for the fans, and the fighters, which I think is desperately needed in the UFC. They've been dominate for so long, they can pretty much dictate to their fighters.

I think the rumour of Khabib stepping into the cage via Eagle FC again would be an excellent marketing move though.

Eagle FC has the opportunity to gather some considerable names, but it can only do so by offering them money, much more than they would get from UFC, Bellator, and ONE, and, I am not sure they have that financial power just now. Maybe in time, they will, but not immediately, and they will have to accept being down on the list of desirable promotions for a while until they grow their brand. Having Khabib on board is not enough for brand recognition.

You guys have got me really doubting my Ramiz Brahimaj pick . Just looked at my accumular, I've got Man City to win against Everton while retaining a clean sheet, then I have Ramiz Brahimaj, Islam Makhachev, Umar Nurmagomedov (5th of March), Devonte Smith (5th of March), and Marina Rodriguez (5th of March), and then finally Liverpool to beat Milan without conceding. That's for a little over £10k. Ramiz was originally one of my confident picks, with Liverpool, being my biggest concern on the accumulator. The annoying part even if I was going to cash out, Ramiz fights before most of the other fighters I've got, I'm currently being offered a £400 cash out, although it should be more, but this particular betting site doesn't really offer very good odds on cash out as I've already had two bet builders come in, and a couple of other football matches.

Depending on the Man City result, and what I'm offered I might cash out if I get a 1k+ offer, which I do doubt will happen.

Khabib might not have a problem in making Conor join Eagle FC. There was an interview with Khabib where he said that Conor is the strongest of his rivals in the UFC. You can try find the video in Youtube. Khabib should also include El Cucuy hehehe. This will certainly cause other fighters to join Eagle FC instead of Bellator or One.

Islam Makhachev will win the fight easily and there is no way Bobby Green is going to stand a chance unless Islam Makhachev thinks that he wants to prove his striking credentials. If he sticks to his game plan he will win easily because Bobby Green has really fast hands and he was slick in his feet the last time he fought recently against Nasrat Haqparast and i doubt Islam Makhachev will try to prove himself with the stand up .

I will now be putting my picks for tomorrow's fight UFC Fight Night Makhachev VS Green

Islam Makhachev VS Bobby Green

This will be an interesting fight, in my opinion, this should be a Beneil Dariush fight but it was canceled because of an ankle injury on Beneil Dariush, so he was replaced by Bobby Green, and Green recently have fought Nasrat Haqparast last 2 weeks, so this is a sudden fight for Bobby Green, and a Rank 16 of the Lightweight will fight a number 4 in the Rankings, and the question is why? well, it is because no one wants to fight Islam Makhachev, to be a replacement, so he will get Bobby Green to fight him, I really think Islam Makhachev is not just good at wrestling his standing is superb aswell, and even though Bobby Green has great takedown Defense, a Dagestan way of wrestling is like a chain, it will continue and will combo Green with takedowns.

Ji Yeon Kim VS Priscila Cachoeira

Now, this is a weird fight, in my opinion, Priscila Cachoeira but Priscila Cachoeira is all about strength with his strikes, but Ji Yeon Kim will sure go with counters, but what I like about Ji Yeon Kim is she was an all-rounder fighter, she is good at her striking and has a decent Grappling, Brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, black belt in Hapkido, and Black belt in Wushu, I would go with Ji Yeon Kim.

Yeah, there's an element of risk there definitely. I just have a good feeling, his opponent isn't exactly without his issues, and I think he might just find that opening. The only problem is like tokeweed said the return isn't that great. I've got 10k riding on those selections above, plus Liverpool beating Milan in the Champions League, so I think I'm just going to stick with it, and hope for the best as I've already got a lot on the accumulator correct.

I think Ramiz Brahimaj might just get exhausted and the opponent will take advantage of that. the opponent is going to stall for some time and make him tired. But Ramiz Brahimaj needs to find an opening before he reaches that point. That's his chance.

In the Islam Makhachev match, I think it's going to be either rear-naked choke or guillotine, but I also think he is also good with his stand-up, so could be a wrong prediction. But I think this is a quite educated guess.

Islam is a great fighter and also has a far better record than Green in my opinion.
For this fight, I don't care about the odds. I believe Islam will be the winner.
Eidt: Oh I see! odds for Green are 6+ 

Tsarukyan vs. Alvarez, I believe Tsarukyan is really good at takedowns and his game shines while he gets his opponent on the ground. So Alvarez better is careful about the takedowns of Tsarukyan. But overall I think this fight is quite even and anyone can win. Tsarukyan currently caught people's eye with his skills with takedowns and his accuracy of takedowns are also really good.

^  Tempted to put a fiver for the lulz.    But I’ll just be wasting it away.  I’d rather bet it on a football match so I could actually watch the whole 90 mins.  Without a bet, doesn’t have to be a big bet, I can’t seem to finish a football match anymore since the covid happened.  :/  As before I could watch it live and the replays for the whole weekend and taking notes!  Brain prolly saturated of football.  Lol.

Anyway, weigh ins in an hour or so.

Upset for Islam and huge success for those who placed a bet on Green, as the odds are crazy

Who can save this event or show a fight of the night despite Makhachev vs Green fight ? Tsarukyan vs. Alvarez can be a good fight. Both have nice record of series of wins and only several losses. I am not familiar with Tsarukyan, but my recommendations on youtube are flashing with his name.  Who is he? A rising star?

As I am checking the fight of Bobby Green VS Rashid Magomedov clearly there is no wrestling at all and on the 1st round a low blow minus to Rashid Magomedov, and this is the 1st time I am watching a video but not on youtube, but the one I dig the deep web, (not the dark web) the deep web archive, and in my opinion, I think that Bobby Green should have won that fight, but yeah the Judges have given Magomedov the win, but I am seeing a difference with Rashid Magomedov and Islam Makhachev in style Magomedov didn't do into a wrestling style but more on the striking Sambo, but I still think that Islam will win this.


I really love that if Khabib Nurmagomedov could fight again, but I doubt that Conor McGregor will be better than Khabib, and could win that fight, it is still clear as day that Khabib Numagomedov will win that and still be in top shape when his training Islam Makhachev, and I have seen a video of Khabib Nurmagomedov lecturing Islam Makhachev that if he doesn't want media attention or can't handle media attention then just lose if your tired nobody will come if you lose nobody would care, I really think Khabib Nurmagomedov has brought up a good advice to Makhachev that if he don't like this he can surely stop.


Bobby Green will sure give a great fight to Islam Makhachev he is a hungry athlete after his will against Nasrat Haqparast on the UFC 271 on just February 13, he likely wants to fight again this February 27, against Islam Makachev, clearly, that is a hungry fighter that wants a fight every 2 weeks interval, and right now Bobby Green is rank number 16 on the Lightweight division, this is going to be upset to Islam Makhachev if Green wins this.

Guys don't forget to participate in Sportsbet prediction competitions in Games and Rounds, there is one for UFC and few of them for other sports, and you can win some free bets.
I think that Islam Makhachev is big favorite in main event with Bobby Green, and only a miracle can save Green from defeat in first few rounds.
If someone is going to take the belt from Charles Oliveira it would be Islam Makhachev with help of Khabib, but first he needs to win this weekend.

Yeah, you might be right. Hopefully not since I'm already quite deep in the accumulator, and got some nice wins. Two football matches left, which I'm pretty confident on, and these fights. I'm hoping Brahimaj can get it done before he gasses out, that would be nice.

Yeah, current betting website I'm using since I'm combining it with bet builders on  football doesn't even allow you to select by what finish, so they bundle DQ, submission, and knock out all in one which lowers the odds, I much prefer betting only submission or knockout as it increases the odds, even if only slightly. I'm feeling a Makhachev rear naked choke though.

Islam Makhachev v Bobby Green. I have read some interesting outtakes of how this fight will go but to read statements such as "mismatched" well then i say go back and watch your tape. Bobby Green is an animal securing finishes in his last two fights, an experienced fighter who has waited a long time for his shot. Islam on the other hand, is an excellent technician, with Khabib in his corner he has all the tools to become a world champion. But with rumours that players have been paid to doge Islam on his way to the title will he bite of more than he can chew with Bobby Green.

I wouldn’t trust Brahimaj at the current price tag and he could be the pie shitter in your parlay.  The guy gasses out.  But I guess the UFC is giving him somewhat a break right now by matching him up vs an easy opponent in Gilmore.  Lol.  And esp after having some inconsistent results since joining the UFC.

On the other hand with Makhachev, the submission prop could be good.  I’d take anything close to evens and over plus money.  If there was only a prop on which kind of sub finish to bet on.  Lol.  Kimura, guillotine, rear naked choke, etc..  

This would turn UFC event on the same level of profit as boxing fight lol This fight would be interesting for everyone except Khabib. Conor wants to avenge. But since their fight, I think that Conor has got worse. In addition, this fight will go on the same scenario as their first - getting Conor down and it will be over with another in a minute. Khabibs wrestling stays on the same level, striking has been improved after fights against Poirier and Gaethje. While Conors wrestling level is the same. Since their fight, Conor did not do his "wrestling homework" 

There are text play by plays of the fight available on sites like sherdog:



Dana White and the UFC wanted to do Khabib vs Conor 2 very badly.

It was trending towards being near to the #1 pay per view sporting event of all time.

Conor has 44 million followers on instagram, Khabib has 33 million. That fight would have been unbelievably massive.

I really love to see Khabib Nurmagomedov if there is a slight chance to see him inside the ring or octagon or to fight just 1 more fight I really like to see it, and I am hanging my slight hope to that event, right now there is no confirmation on Khabib Side, so just like I have said this is unlikely to happen, and you are right in saying if Khabib Nurmagomedov said that he doesn't want to fight anymore he will surely do that, and right now I think he is enjoying coaching Islam Makhachev right now and sticking to that is his top priority.


even though he has some rich Arab friends I think that he is gaining money on his own, being well known to the industry as undefeated will surely lift his name to the world of MMA, with this alone I can see tons of endorsement opening to him,


A submission or a TKO is a good bet for Islam Makhachev, and I also think this is going to be a win for Makhachev, it could not be a one-sided fight but it will be a thrilling fight for all the fans, even though Bobby Green seem to fight like Anderson Silva, but not in that same level, I just got the vibe, but not enough for a Dagestan Combat Sambo Champion, it will surely be an easy task for Makhachev.
