UFC on ESPN: Rodriguez vs. Waterson

Date: May 9, 2021
Main Card: SUN, MAY 9 / 3:00 AM EEST
Prelims: SUN, MAY 9 / 12:00 AM EEST

Venue: Enterprise, Nevada, United States

Main card (ESPN)
Women's Flyweight: Marina Rodriguez vs. Michelle Waterson

Wow! a women's division main event, I rarely seen something like this but this should be a fight between Dillashaw VS Sandhagen but due to TJ Dillashaw's injury the fight is postponed so a short notice between Marina Rodriguez VS Michelle Waterson has taken place,

For me I really like Michelle Waterson winning this but her recent fight was back on Sept. 12, 2020 so it seems like a long vacation for her and her opponent had a recent match back on January 24 this year, but again Waterson really needs to be in top shape in giving Rodriguez a beating.

Kevin Holland needs to fix his ground skills before competing again and he really needs some rest.

Easier said than done though. It usually takes years to get competent at any form of Jiu Jitsu simply because of muscle memory. You can actually learn the moves very quickly, but it all changes when your put in a competitive environment, and that's without taking into consideration that you have to defend from punches, and could be buzzed by a punch too.

He does need to fix it, as its going to be exploited a lot of often now that its been highlighted twice. Although, maybe Holland cherrypicks his opponents from now on. I can't see it, at least one positive with Holland is he seems like he'll fight anyone they put in front of him.

penalty for chickening 😁 and the penalty fee goes to the one who respond as replacement. so you can expect kevin holland in every weekend.

although i dont think nate diaz will really back away a fight. weve see how tough he is so this must be a serious injury.

They are preparing for a fight and injuries are a part of this competition and so is the reason it is called the hurt business and you cannot go around fighters for getting injured during practice sessions. Nate Diaz is also not getting younger and if he is injured he knows that the recovery takes time and when you are young you could get cured easily but that is not the situation when you cross a certain age.

Kevin Holland needs to fix his ground skills before competing again and he really needs some rest.

P.S. I think there is a problem with correct time on ufc.com and on wiki, as a time gap of 9 hours between main card and prelims is huge.

P.P.S. I will add poster once it appears on wiki

^ The original main event would’ve been sweet. It was supposed to be Corey Sandhagen vs TJ Dillashaw but Dillashaw picked up an injury. The rumored replacement will be Marina Rodriguez vs Michelle Waterson.

At first glance of the match ups, I think Ribas vs Hill and Neal vs Magny should be closer. And I don’t see odds on Cerrone yet. I hope they misprice Morono as a huge underdog.

Nate Diaz VS Leon Edwards has been moved to UFC 263 unfortunately. Reports are saying that Nate Diaz as picked up an injury, without actually providing what injury that might be. So, that's a little disappointing, and thins out the card a little bit.

Also, I'm hearing that Jake Matthews has permanent eye damage from eye gouging which happened between Li Jingliang. Obviously, we've seen a lot of it this year, and there's probably been worse instances (in terms of immediate reaction) which haven't done any permanent damage. Although, its clearly a problem. What can UFC do to prevent this? Harsher consequences?

KO's are becoming rare because MMA fighters today are now very careful unlike back in the early days of UFC. You get knockdown today, you also have a meme of yourself. Cheesy

May be you missed UFC 261, all the main card events were stopped, including co main even and the main even stopped by knockout and the rest of the main event fights were TKO including doctor stoppage, all in all total of 9 fights out of 13 fights ended early. Some fight cards you will have majority decisions but you will always have KO in the main event.

Oh yeah UFC 261! I couldnt believe how technically sound Usman was and how easily he dismantlement Masvidal. I still cant believe it. He has to be one of the most (if not the) dominant Welterweight division fighter ever. All the main card fights were either 1st or 2nd round KO's or TKO's. Including that gruesome Chris Weidman broken shin. The Rose Namajunas's left high kick to the face.. was a memorable night.

Usman is definitely shaping up to be one of the best fighters to ever roam that division, however, I wouldn't be so bold to call him the most dominant fighter ever (in that division) because it boils down to the quality of opponents the champ has and, to be honest, Masvidal was never up there in terms of his quality, he got most of his hype from murdering Ben Askren, slapping Leon Edwards in the backstage, and fighting for a nonexisting BMF title with Nate Diaz. So Usman having two dominating fights over Masvidal does not come close to, let's say Robby Lawler who had 3 consecutive title defences against prime Johnny Hendricks, Carlos Condit and Rory MacDonald. I think Usman will, and can be one of the best, but let's give him some time.

I had it in mind that a man with tattoos is actually have high pain tolerance but a body kick folded Swanson quickly. He was expecting a high kick from Chikadze but it was meant a bodykick.

We've definitely had plenty of KO's this year. The only real cautious fighter I've seen is Bhullar like I mentioned, which I thought was pretty embarrassing that he wasn't even looking to throw hands. However, for the rest there will always be strikers, and there will always be wrestlers, and the later tend to not get knocked out as much, even when fighting against a striker.

Yeah, I don't agree with your tattoo observation, although I think to be signed by the UFC, you've got to have a rather bad tattoo somewhere on your body these days. I swear most fighters have a real ugly or poorly done tattoo, with the exception of a few.

^ Cutelaba gassed out. A round more and I think Jacoby would’ve won that just from pure volume alone. And yup, I’d like see Chikadze fight a good wrestler within the top 10. He had problems with Emmers when Emmers started to clinch and grapple vs him.

I like Prochazka but I don’t know how his chin holds vs Blachowicz. He was knocked out once in Rizin: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/34779-jiri-prochazka

Yup! that is what I forgot to mention, Cutelaba stop in pinning Jacoby down because he is gassed out, and even though he can sure wrestle he can not always keep it up the pacing that Nurmagomedov is doing,

And Then yes Chikadze may be a good striker but I would like to see him against a great wrestler as good as Nurmagomenodov but that's impossible maybe a little like Khabib, If what he may do with an opponent like that because there are not much in his division so pretty sure striking game will be too hard for Jiri Chikadze opponents.

Just wanted to post my regular event information, but seems that there is nothing to post. Even though on May 8 UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw is scheduled, almost every fight is cancelled either due to injury, either due to illness.

Only available info: Jun Yong Park vs. Tafon Nchukwi in prelims.

Good news: Tickets section returned in ufc.com>events. Looks like we set a course to "back to normal" land.

UFC Fight Night: Reyes VS Prochazka

Ion Cutelaba VS Dustin Jacoby

It is really unusual on UFC for a result of a split draw, but that was what the judges have seen and I think that Cutelaba was doing fine with the takedowns until in the later round they are equally exchanging fist, I think Cutelaba may have won that if he keeps on aggressively pinning down Jacoby but that's not happening instead he engages in an exchange of fist.

Giga Chikadze VS Cub Swanson

This is surely a pretty smooth Kick the Giga Kick! I should say that Chikadze maybe is the best striker in this Division and many will surely be going to have a problem with him if his opponent is not a grappler then they will likely gonna have trouble that smart timing and precision just like calculating and manipulating his opponent is a slick tactic.

Dominick Reyes VS Jiri Prochazka

Uniquely as it gets Jiri Prochazka after seeing him fight I would surely love to see him fight again, Coming from a really weird angle while punching and a really weird stance that is unpredictable Prochazka had shown us a new style in fighting, Prochazka maybe has his guard down but I think this is his game plan, a very unique way in fighting that Reyes wasn't able to read.

^ It was a decent card... Brown vs Kamaka was a banger and so were Merab vs Stamann and Cutelaba vs Jacoby even though they went to decision.

The main and the co main were great as expected. But I didn’t expect Chikadze to finish Swanson so quick... with a liver shot. Lol. The under 2.5 rounds had decent value at 2.65.

Yes very good fight night with 2 KO in the 2 main events, after 3 KO in the 3 main events at UFC 261 (who said KO are rare in main events?)
So I didn't bet on rounds number under 2.5 but I will get bigger odds than that at the end thanks to the KO double winnings bonus from Stake.
I bet on Prochazka at 1.89 and on Chikadze at 1.61, so I will get 3.78 and 3.22 payouts with this bonus.

Dominick Reyes got a broken nose with his pride again and we might see longer break from him after losing 3 fights in a row, but I am afraid people are pumping Jiri Prochazka to early for tile shot after just two fights in UFC.
In this fight Prochazka was dominating and fully deserved to win but same thing could happen to him like with Reyes after losing fight with Jon Jones.

I was able to watch the main card and Jiří Procházka impressed me the most and i was watching his old fights but the problem i had is that he never defeated elite fighters outside the UFC and even when he defeated Volkan Oezdemir i thought it was a lucky punch but now i am convinced that Jiří Procházka could be a title prospect if he continues to improve his skills as he said in the post fight show and he can fight for the title next but it looks like he is not too keen on that as he wants to enjoy the experience before getting the title shot.

That was a great fight card to watch and especially main and co-main event, Giga Chikadze impressed me and he event said that he is ready to fight next week, because he is not returning to Georgia before that.
