Don't know if anyone has reported it here, it's fairly new, but Ngannou brought in Glory HW champ Rico Verhoeven to help him out for his fight with Gane. It sparks an interest with me, I was alawys curious on how Rico would do in MMA. Maybe this is his step towards MMA. Maybe? Your opinions?
My bet is the sexy fighting kitten in the main event hehehe. Miesha Tate is a MMA fighter, however, she can sometimes appear like a porn star. It is her eyes. Those eyes want to tell that you she might want to do something with you.
And if Michael Chiesa could make a dent on the undefeated Sean Brady, both can surely battle on the ground which will have a superior takedown and takedown defense,
I suspect most people will be putting their money on Sean Brady, but I'm really feeling a Chiesa win. Plus, I've started to gain my mojo back when it comes to fight predictions, I went through a particularly bad stage for a couple of months recently, so hopefully I'm right, and that continues.UFC announced today new signing of 21 years old Muhammad Mokaev who is going to fight in flyweight division and they are already calling him flyweight Khabib.
He is coming from Dagestan, but he now lives in Manchester, England and has perfect 23-0 record as amateur and 4-0 as professional mma fighter.
Current UFC flyweight champion is Brandon Moreno, first contender is Deiveson Figueiredo, and fresh new blood will make things more interesting in this divison.
Every Dagestan fighter gets compared to Khabib I feel. They fight completely different. It's quite crazy that during the time where Khabib was active, a lot of people didn't really think he was that good, and boring. Then, as soon as he retires they look for someone who's the next him. He is coming from Dagestan, but he now lives in Manchester, England and has perfect 23-0 record as amateur and 4-0 as professional mma fighter.

^ Not so great of a card in my opinion but this is all that we had so anyway in my opinion
No big names, but we've been spoiled the last few weeks with big names, and good cards. This might be an entertaining card regardless of the lack of big name fighters. Though, we've got some banger cards coming up in the next few weeks, so I can definitely accept having a subpar night before then. Despite this event having no big names on it, I am still interested in the Main and Co-main fight, the Ketlen Vieira VS Miesha Tate, Michael Chiesa VS Sean Brady, and the Luana Pinheiro VS Sam Hughes, I will now gather information on every fighter and will come back on what will be my pick regarding this matches,
The Return of Ketlen Viera after so many months not active with the sports, after her, lost to Yana Kunitskaya, and after the win on Miesha Tate to Marion Reneau, this is going to be an interesting fight.
And if Michael Chiesa could make a dent on the undefeated Sean Brady, both can surely battle on the ground which will have a superior takedown and takedown defense,

Anyway.. My initial leans are Aori, McKinney, Lookboonme, Levy, Kang and Chiesa.
I've got Lookboonme, Kanf, and Chiesa. I'm fancying more of the underdogs this event, and while I'm avoiding betting on most of them, I expect that to be the case. ^ From a betting perspective it’s good to watch all of the events and most of the matches to somehow get a good feel for the future match ups these prospects could be in. And you find value bets here and there from time to time. I mean I’m not saying I’m a huge winner in betting MMA or anything but there are events that feels ‘easy’ cos you’ve already seen the fighters and their tendencies.
The sport is getting bigger, and bigger every year. I'm sure this would be easy to look up, but I believe there's over five hundred fighters on the roster now. The rate that the UFC as an organisation is growing is nice to see. Even if you're not a fan of Dana, it's nice to see a sport which has always struggled with growth seeming to break away from the negative stigma surrounding the sport. By negative stigma I mean brute's just smashing each others faces, I'll be honest originally I avoided watching it because I believed the stereotypes in it being a little over the top, and that's probably the case for a while. I watched the first UFC event the other day, and it was incredible how there wasn't any rules, and there was multiple fight ending sequences that would be illegal these days.
Ufc
Definitely not the most exciting card as compared to the previous weeks dana has treated us too.
Fight of the night
Davey grant v adrian yanez
Coming of is loss to vera I expect the Englishman to come out showcasing all his talents. Yanez is a good prospect but davey will come out with a bang!
Main event, not too excited about this event as the goat amana nuñes will be fighting soon, furthermore the last main event between women was the one of if not the worst main event in ufc history. Tate has fire power but im not expecting anything gobsmacking about this fight-excuse the pun.
Also on the card are michael chiesa v sean brady as well as rani yahya v kang kyung ho. Both these will be bangers and can go eitherway.
Looking forward to the fights!

Who do you guys got for this weekend’s event?
Despite Chiesa, there is nothing that I find interesting to watch. But as usually, all the unknown to me fighters or unpopular in ufc will show a good performance. Like there is nothing for them to lose or they want to ufc bosses to pay attention and them, so they would risk and land a brutal strike or gets knockdown cold
This event might be better, but a lot of fights were cancelled due to undisclosed issues. I think I will completely skip this event and then just watch a review on youtube.
Who do you guys got for this weekend’s event? It could be one of those cars with slight dogs winning again. And there was a somewhat huge underdog who won last event. The size difference really did matter with Alvarez... And he showed lots of improvment with his stand up.
Anyway.. My initial leans are Aori, McKinney, Lookboonme, Levy, Kang and Chiesa.

Gilbert Burns open to fight Khamzat Chimaev: 'Why not? I'll give him the opportunity'
Finally a man with the balls Finally a guy who agrees to fight a fighter lower in top, instead of complaining that "a fight with a lower top fighter does not give anything for his career". Finally a guy who challenged Chimaev, instead Chimaev challenges to fight anyone. What do you think guy? Who is going to win if they fight? Top2 fighter is not a joke. It will be a good test for Chimaev.
And finally, will UFC organize that fight or they have other plan on Chimaev?
Imo, Chimaev is a rising star of MMA. His record looks much weaker than that of Gilbert Burns, but he's young, he's only 3 years in the business, while Burns is there from 2012. Burns is a great fighter, no doubt about that, but fighting with Chimaev is very risky for him. Who needs to be defeated by a relative newbie? And yet he said: 'Why not? I'll give him the opportunity'. I admire his bravery, but I think if they fight - Chimaev wins.Finally a man with the balls

Chimaev might be relatively new and has less experience than burns but I have seen Khamzat fight and I can say that he is a real prolific striker and his takedowns are also really good. But I think he has one flaw that when he is trying to defend he tends to catch the leg when the opponent is throwing any and if he times it wrong then it might be disastrous. But until now he seems to time it really well and scores a takedown of it.
What if Chimaev wins Burns? Will that put him on top2 place? Wont it automatically make him closest person to have a title fight ? If I am not mistaken, Burns lost to Usman in his last fight. Is he planning - "Chimaev is a rising star that one day will be champ. If I fight him, I will a) no matter of the fight result, get good money b)beating a rising star will give me a closer chance for another title fight".

^ Gilbert Burns is prolly out there to prove himself after Dana White said something bad about his performance against Thompson. Lolol. But what a gangster.
Anyway yeah... the next event is a sleeper. There are good match ups in there just like the last event. And here’s the thing, if you watch the UFC long enough the match ups are the only thing you care about, not the name value.

Michael Chiesa vs Sean Brady is a good match up.
Talia Santos will be a good prospect to fight Valentina if she can get past Joanne Calderwood.
Loma Lookboonmee is one of the best kickboxers in all of woman's MMA imo.
Sean Soriano is one of Michael Chandler's main training/sparring partners out of Sanford MMA in florida.
Miesha Tate is a friend of Julianna Pena and they both seem to be going a little off the deep end. They're both saying outrageous things that don't make a ton of sense.
Gilbert Burns is a world champion in brazilian jiu jitsu. He would be a good test for Chimaev's ground game. .

I expect Burns to give Chimaev a harder time than his previous fights, he'll definitely get hit at least once lets say 
. He isn't going to be able to bully Burns as much. Could be a potential hiccup in the road for Chimaev, which could lower his stock. I see Dana looking for an alternative fight for both.

This was one amazing main event to watch and great performance from both Holloway and Rodriguez!
I expected to see fight going to distance but I had some hope that Rodriguez could snatch surprise victory, but Holloway was better on the ground.
Rematch would be a great idea, but I think Dana might keep Holloway for one more champ fight against Volkanovski.

Oh Holloway def deseves it. How many top guys has he fought since losing to Volk for the second time? Two? Without looking at Tapology, I can remember only two. Kattar and Yair Rodriguez. Kattar, a prospect which he looked really good against and Rodriguez who he had a tough fight against.
Edit: It’s only two matches after Volk.. It felt like he had at least three. Lol.
Only today I had some time to check out upcoming UFC event and I am more interested to watch co-main event Michael Chiesa vs Sean Brady.
Brady has perfect 14-0 record and he is favorite to win this fight, but anything can happen because Chiesa is a great fighter and he has slight reach advantage.
It is not easy to predict main event final outcome so it will be more like a coin flip for me this time.

In the meantime, they should consider the offer if they see some profit in it for that's all that matters for them. I think the fight is not bad at all and it will gonna be a nice fight for both of them especially Chimaev. Why not?? this is how it should be for the fighters who want to be the number one fighter in his weight division, he won't give anyone doubt about him. unfortunately, their decisions won't matter until the UFC approved the fight.
