~ It's enough with Sterling parading as fake champion, taking pictures, interviews and signing sponsorship deals.

Heh yeah...  It’s prolly just a botched weight cut and it does not really show where his mind is at rn.  It’s pretty obvious that he tried making the weight with just being .25 lbs over.

Anyway here are the weigh ins and the face offs.

Gastelum almost bombed on the weigh-ins he got it on the second try. Saidyokub Kakhramonov missed the limit. I wouldn't be surprised if Gastelum missed it completely, If I am not mistaking, he has had issues before.

Though defeated by some of the well-known strikers in the game, Gastelum has never been an easy fight for them.

That's some amount you placed there. Did you just bet on the winner or you also included by TKO? Best of luck with your bet/s.

I surely respect your decision and that is your money so you can surely do whatever you want with it, and did you put the winning method or your betting with 1x2? just curious and you seem pretty sure with your choices, anyway I will be looking forward to Jared Cannonier winning, but if Kelvin Gastelum wins surely all that bet for him will have a good night sleep because of the odds,

from the previous matchup ..
i would say for upcoming main event Gastelum vs Cannonier  , i would say that Cannonier will win via TKO by round 3.

it will be an easy fight and easy money .  have $1k on Cannonier  , with additional 2x payout from stake.

Cannonier is predominately a striker though, and as I've said previously when you match up a striker against a wrestler, it's usually the wrestler that does better. What you tend to see is the striker becomes so wary of the takedown, they stop throwing as much volume as they usually do, then sometimes you even seen the wrestlers out striker the strikers. He may have not done well in the past with decisions, but I do not see him knocking out Cannonier or even getting a finish against him, but for some reason my gut feeling is he's going to win this match up.

Although, I'm not trying to convince anyone to go for Kelvin. I mean the last few championship fights I've got wrong consecutively.

That gas tank of Madsen is really bad tho.  He is the better wrestler and Guida does have a tendency to stick his neck out ready to get caught in a guillotine.  Lol.  But Guida could win R2 and R3 and might even get a finish at R3.  So I could see this either go Madsen via sub early or Guida via decision...  Possibly even a finish at R3 cos Madsen would just be exhausted.  But leaning towards Guida more.  Would I bet it?  Yup but small.

UFC Fight Night: Cannonier VS Gastelum picks

Jared Cannonier VS Kelvin Gastelum

There are doubts in my mind at first that Kelvin Gastelum might win this, but after seeing the odds at stake.com 1.71 for Jared Cannonier and 2.31 for Kelvin Gastelum, not that high but you can surely see the difference, so I wonder why because I always wonder why many people are taking Cannonier side before making my pick and looking at Jared Cannonier history he is once a Heavyweight, then a Light Heavyweight until he drops to the Middleweight division, while Gastelum comes from Welterweight then comes up to Middleweight, I know many will say that Division is not that a big of a deal but seeing Gastelum at 29 he looks really old than 29 but my take in here he looks depreciating over time, I am not into the hype I am just visualizing what may happen inside the octagon and that is what my take in this fight, and in my opinion it is one weird fight to see, and I am going with Jared Cannonier for the win.

Clay Guida VS Mark Madsen

This is not really what I expect with a Co-main Event but for the undefeated Mark Madsen facing the Experience Clay Guida, I think this will be a wrestling match and both men will sure out-wrestle the other but I don't really think that Guida is the same person back then, he sure has a lot of loss record than the win but if he can still Submit an opponent that is still good, but this will be a wrestling match but Madsen doesn't really have great cardio so this makes the experience Guida to take that advantage on Madsen, Even though Madsen is a former Olympian, Guida had a lot of notable fight that involves wrestling and won with submissions, won against Anthony Pettis, B.J. Penn, Nate Diaz, and Michael Johnson a lot of big names on the UFC, but stakes.com odds was 2.44 for Guida and 1.64 for Madsen, but even though there is a lot of note that pertaining Guida can win this, I am still going for Mark Madsen, and this is a 50/50 decision for me.

I would completely agree with you...if this was 2007 Outside of certain fighters, the game has changed to where they are much more rounded and less weary of being taken to the deep end be it striking, BJJ or wrestling. Maybe Cannonier is not that guy, that we shall see, but for the most part, I think that's the landscape of current MMA.
