Chimaevs was out for 1 year + according to the ufc embedded vlog .

Wow, 1 year is a bitch to return to. But it might have given him enough time to gradually recover and gradually build-up to his full fighting capacity. And that gives me more confidence in his ability for this fight. I was honestly completely unaware a year has passed. But hey, Dom Cruz said that ring rust does not exist.

He also had a bad case of covid. And Li isn’t a push over either. He’s a step up for Chimaev. Maybe not by much but still.. Li is a decent fighter. Would I take the underdog? Nope. Lol. But I wouldn’t bet on Chimaev at 1.18 either. Chimaev R1 could be worth a sprinkle. Let’s see where the line is at when it opens.

Some vids to watch..

Chimaev also had covid during his absence in UFC. Also he though to retire, but this weekend he fights in UFC267. Theoretically, he might have mental issues or motivation for a nice fight (if this fight is just an obligatory from contract). His current shape is unknown so far. His opponent is also not a no-name. 7 years in UFC, experienced, never been knockout (has a very strong chin) and lost only once by submission. Has a good cardio, while Chimaev fights never last more than 7min. I dont expect this as an easy fight for Chimaev.

Read this very inspiring story on Glover Teixeira. It is a long article, however, it is not a waste of your time. I reckon after reading this, this man has a heart of a champion. He might be a good bet against Jan because Jan was against an overrated fighter when he won the championship and his first defense of his championship is only vs. a middleweight.

Guns, smugglers, and impossible dreams: Glover Teixeira opens up on the ‘dangerous’ 43-day illegal journey to U.S. that started it all

Overcoming hurdles in the cage seems easy compared to what Glover Teixeira had overcome to fulfill the American dream.

Ahead of his shot at becoming the oldest man to be crowned a first-time UFC champion when he challenges Jan Blachowicz for the light heavyweight belt on Oct. 30 at UFC 267, Teixeira opened up like never before about his journey from Brazil to the United States as an illegal immigrant on MMA Fighting’s Portuguese-language podcast Trocação Franca.

The Brazilian veteran, who turns 42 the day before UFC 267’s weigh-ins in Abu Dhabi, was one of many kids from the small Brazil town of Sobralia who dreamed about leaving in pursuit of a better life in the United States. The area became infamous in Brazil for an exodus of people trying to enter the U.S. illegally, and Teixeira eventually joined the pack.

Teixeira decided to give it a try when he was just a 19-year-old teenager, five years after his cousins left Sobralia to make a living in America.

Crossing the border was already no easy task, but getting there was a challenge in and of itself.

“It’s tense,” Teixeira said. “It took me 43 days to get here. Everybody knows how dangerous it is to cross the Mexico border. People die, people get arrested, tortured. So [my mother] was very concerned, but also hopeful that her son was going after his dream, going after a better life.”

My early gut feeling is telling me that Błachowicz will win in main event against Glover Teixeira, after I watched his brutal mountain training preparations and interviews.
I don't like low odds for his win and I am thinking of placing a bet that fight will end early, or something similar that has more value.

^ Remember tho.. Texiera almost got KO’d by Santos twice before Texiera eventually got Santos’ back and submitted him. So that chin is prolly shot. And Blachowicz can def KO most 205’ers. But if anybody really feels like going that route, shop for a good line. Fight goes the distance at least at 3 would be a decent bet.

Btw, in post fight interview Costa explain why he weighed a lot and probably lost. Because 2 weeks before the fight, he had his left biceps torn and missed part of his camp. Can we count this as legit or just an excuse ? Cheesy

Did he actually say that?

Yeap: "“I came in a little bit higher [in] weight because I needed to stop some weeks of training,” said Costa, who clarified the injury was to his left bicep at the post-fight press conference for Saturday’s event in Las Vegas.".

I might try to save Costa reputation, saying that with such an injury you can not sit in sauna for hours and cut weight quick enough, because injury wont just heal. Or he could make this injury even worse. Loosing water from an organism is very dangerous. In his instagram photos, he had a strip or bandage on left biceps. But, if he knows that he is such a heavy guy, he should have started preparing for 185 long time ago.

I was wondering why @TopTort777 was saying the main fight will go the distance until I saw the stats.

Both fighters have good KO records, but most of them were not in UFC. When they fight UFC level opponents, the stats are not as cool as they look at first glance Cheesy

Both of them, if they loose, they lose by decision. Texeira might try to show his karate voodoo, but Jan has showed that he is good at defending such magic (in a fight against Adesanya). Dont know why, but I think that the fight will go full distance with fighters throwing lots of strikes. Last round, the one who has more stamina will show who is the real champ.

The fight island looks cool but majority of the fighters flying from US and surrounding countries will not be liking the long flights as it would take sometime to get rid of the jet lag and then get accumulated to the weather condition. The hospitality is world class and if not for the long and tiring travel they would enjoy fighting in the UAE.

Well, you are right, mostly that is too tiring and the jetlag for most fighters but I guess there are prior rest to all fighters that will arrive at the fight island is a must, and they are just doing this because it is for the safety and the health protocols that need to be sustained, and this fight island is possible because of the pandemic.

Quote from: ene1980 on October 25, 2021, 05:17:48 PM

Jan Blachowicz, Islam Makhachev, Khamzat Chimaev looks like a good parlay to bet, have to check their opponents and finally glad to see Khamzat Chimaev return after a long break.

I am also looking to bet for those guys but I am still looking at their opponent's stats, capability, style, and records, and I will definitely post my picks when I am done with my research, but for me, I have 4 picks in this event, Jan Blachowicz, Islam Makhachev, Khamzat Chimaev, and Amanda Ribas.

Li Jingliang
Volkov
Islam
Cory
Jan

a good multi-bet

Really, Sandhagen over Yan? I thought it was universally thought of as Yan's fight to win but would like to hear the other side. Personally, I am leaning towards Yan, but Sandhagen will bring the heat. I think Yan will do anything and everything to win this one after the loss from Sterling (no matter how he lost), so there is additional emphasis on Yan that will push him.

If based on line value, I don’t mind Kenny’s parlay. Check the match between Yan and Aljo at UFC Stats. Aljo was statistically ahead in significant strikes before he started slowing down and then the illegal knee happened.

Check here: http://ufcstats.com/fight-details/15c9cb5f9320c555

Sandhagen has good cardio and could make it close than the line suggests.

I get the Li pick too. Chimaev had a bad case of covid and had a somewhat long lay off. So we don’t really know what shape he’s right now and if he’s ready to take the step up vs Li. Li isn’t that bad.

So yeah.. I really wouldn’t be surprised if both underdogs won.

Edit: Jandiroba could be another good underdog pick.

yeah thats what i going for between why i picked sandhagen over yan.

and yes for the chimaev vs Li actually extremely risky too , look at Alexander Volkanovski , he got covid and recovered but still he able to win over Brian Ortega with style

but still gonna stick with my picks . good luck to those who bets , and those who don't , enjoy the match , it would be an exciting weekend !

Fair enough wanted to hear the other side of the Yan / Sandhagen coin. Still think Sandhagen will bring the heat to Yan.

How long ago was Chimaevs lay off? If it was close to the fight, I always wonder why they don't take a bit more time off. Rushing towards a fight after you had a bad case of whatever just seems like a bad idea.

Chimaevs was out for 1 year + according to the ufc embedded vlog .

It sucks when your phone breaks while your authenticator is installed there. I couldn't access my account and I missed out betting on Vettori last week.

I was wondering why @TopTort777 was saying the main fight will go the distance until I saw the stats. The Legendary Polish Power doesn't look like legendary when you compare his win by KO/TKO percentage against Texeira Grin

Having said that, I think Jan could win by TKO by third or fourth round. He'll make use of his gas tank and power in the later rounds.

Is there no one gutsy enough to bet on Dan Hooker? The guy is like +460 Grin

Not really , although really i love dan hooker, but not gonna bet on it .. feel like there is no chance

I am very interested to watch next UFC event, and I noticed that fight card is full of fighters from Russia, ten including heavyweight giant Alexander Volkov and Petr Yan is coming back after Aljamain Sterling fight.
Jan Blachowicz said in last interview that he would be open to rematch Israel Adesanya but only if he first fights with few other fighters below him in rankings:

Did he actually say that? Ridiculous, every time hes lost there's an excuse. He's basically doing a Wilder, except he isn't quite using as ridiculous excuses. Quite frankly, on the night he was throwing with some considerable heat, and didn't look injured at all. Plus, a torn bicep doesn't really effect you too much in losing weight. You could argue he couldn't work out as much, but then you would just pull out of the fight due to injury.

If you're daft enough to go into a fight knowing your injured, then it isn't a valid excuse because you made that decision. I really want to like Costa just because he's an entertaining fighter, but his attitude sucks, and his excuses are ridiculous.

But as a fan of Khabib Nurmagomedov, of course I did not miss the fight of Islam Makhachev who is a sparring partner and student of Khabib.

You have forgotten one of Khabibs best friend - Zubaira Tukhugov is fighting in prelims Cheesy

So you will have to watch his fight also (sadly, Zuba is not as cool as Islam). Not to mention Chimaev. They know each other IRL and had some controversies. After Khabib retired, Chimaev has told he would have won Khabib if they would meet. Later he had removed his tweet.

Well, Vettori gained a fan last weekend from me. I've always been quite the critic when it comes to his style, and while he definitely has finished a lot of fighters, I've always thought he could be more active when he takes people down onto the mat. Well, against Costa he proved he actually has some decent striking ability. I thought he was outstriking Costa much of the fight, and the only reason Costa was still in it was because of the impact from his shots, rather than the volume.

There was one point in the fight quite late on where I thought Costa had Vettori on the ropes. It was from a couple of body shots which seemed to hurt him quite a bit, but he recovered nicely. I'm not sure what's next for either fighters, it seems Vettori might have hit a plateau, as I don't think he's going to be beating Izzy anytime soon, but he probably clears up the rest of the up, and coming contenders.

Costa, again I'm not sure where to put him. He'll always have a chance in a fight due to his heavy hands, but his striking ability as a whole probably has to be questioned. I'm not sure what's next for him to be honest.

Yeah , yes yan is dominating as a champ , but what i feeling right now that he was pushing for sterling match right now , the mindset is not right and i think he might overpush for upcoming match and lost via tko . Sandhagen is actually a great fighter

Why Sandhagen is an underdog in this fight? Just because Petr Yan once was a champ? I think they both have identical chances to win. Yan is more aggressive, but Sandhagen will try to counter it with wrestling. I think that Yan had only two tough opponents in UFC, Faber and Aldo. Sandhagen also Franky Edgar and Dillashaw ( I don't think that Sandhagen has lost that fight completely, it was a split decisions and only 1 point advantage). All their other opponents were not that tough.
