@notblox1. You might be correct. I speculated in @rdbase's thread that Kayla Harrison will put Holly Holm on the stretcher, however after this weight cut, it appears that if her stamina is not there on round 2 and round 3, Holly Holm might win this with a decision. This is also not only a larpy speculation. Miesha Tate has said this during an interview with her on January. This is 3 months before the fight.
I will change my pick to Holly heheheh.
but Miesha Tate would like to remind her that hitting the weight and competing well after are two different things.
“When I saw it was at 135, I was shocked,” Tate said on SiriusXM’s Fight Nation. “Because Kayla Harrison begged for a 155-pound division at PFL, and she got it, and I think she’s been great there. She’s been tremendous. I know she’s made 145 before, I think it was tough for her. I think 135 is going to really suck the life out of her, and it’s not the best move.”

We are nearing the next UFC event and I cant wait for it to start, and hoping to see some cracking fights.
I just saw weight results for UFC 300 and Kayla Harrison looks like a completely different person after this brutal weight cut
She looked sick to me and I hope this wont affect her performance in fight against Holly Holm, odds are remaining heavily in her favor:

On the 300k bonus, they prolly did it because it's UFC '300'... Get it? 
And I didn't watch the vid. Is it just for this event or is it gonna be a regular thing? Expect violence for the 300k, 10 matches might not go the distance. 
And I didn't watch the vid. Is it just for this event or is it gonna be a regular thing? Expect violence for the 300k, 10 matches might not go the distance. Obviously it was because of UFC 300 that he's giving a $300,000 bonus but I think it also says a little something... Dana White seems to be acknowledging that fighter pay needs some improvement and I hope this is just a first step. These fighters should probably be making 10x as much as they are and a bigger bonus is nice, but it would also be nice if he announced things like paying for training leading up to fights for fighters, better insurance, and some individual advertising for their brands. UFC needs to start making fighters into stars instead of finding stars to make into champions.
P.S. look at Pereira stone face when increase was announced
He doesn't speak English you know

^ Don't get me wrong, all in all I think it's good rule since most of these guys just get their post count up. And I'm not telling anyone what to do, I just think there should be exceptions. But again, it is what it is. The managers should run the campaigns as best as they could for their clients.

^ I'm not really sure. Lol. Maybe their campaigns prevent them from posting in threads that have gone over some number of pages. :/ I think it applies in some threads like 'My friend has gambling addiction' and those ones that have really no real discussion. Just guys getting their post count up.
Yeah, I think all campaigns ran by Icopress have a rule that participants won't get paid for posts made after 250 page in a thread. I could argue either way on whether or not it's a good rule.
Now it is getting more interesting, as fighters going to do a maximum of what they are able to and a little bit more to win, as fight bonuses have been increased from 50k to 300k ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow_BdBRtU0w). For someone that might be a life changer, if he has default contract with 10+10 or 25+25. Amazing how Dana easily agreed to that. Seems that UFC 300 isnt getting as much popularity as the planned.
They decided to go bold for the special event and they're sticking to it. I think Dana made the decision on a whim and this had nothing to do with low popularity.
Funny to see him splashing money like that and casually increasing bonuses 6-fold, knowing the UFC was notorious for underpaying their fighters. Maybe it's an attempt to fix their image?
P.S. look at Pereira stone face when increase was announced

^ Lmao ain't no nothing is gonna change that facial expression. As for not getting any popularity, dunno... The event is in Vegas, it's surely gonna be sold out. We're not getting our creme de la creme main event but all of these match ups are great!
Anyway, I'm back and forth in the main event. Does everybody think Hill is totally healthy? I feel like the UFC couldn't find a headliner for the event then just settled with Periera vs Hill... To think about it, Periera vs Hill is kinda short notice with Hill possibly still recuperating from his ankle injury. The UFC prolly offered him good money to headline and Hill thinking it would be a good opportunity to get the belt back, signed the contract. :/ What do you guys think?
I'd go for Nickal, Gaethje and Weili as a parlay. Hill and Tsarukyan could be pie shtters. I'd put them in a separate parlay.
Here's the pre fight press conference.

He predicted Charles would lose against Tsarukyan for Tsarukyan could nullify Charles's jujitsu on the ground. That's what he said here.
So basically this is his take on the main card. Not Alex on the main event to which he said Jamahal will KO Alex. I am quite unsure why he says this but his point on Tsarukyan seems valid.
Is his picks good for Parlay?

But yeah, it is what it is. I'm happy to post everything I watch, read and think that's UFC related here itt. Like Garbrandt, I looked at the odds and I'm thinking why is he lined at 3.55 here? It's almost like the sports betting site is forcing you to drop some money on him. The lines should be closer imho. The guy could crack.
Edit: Checked all the lines... This event is a parlay buster. I could see up to 8 underdogs shtting on the pie.

Arent you surprised how silent this topic is last days? Few days left, great card, lots of fights that can end unexpectedly. And maximum we get is few posts a day. I dont remember we have discussed UFC 300 previously much, so that we wont have any topic of discussion left. Is it so silent here, because people are not impressed with main event and expected to see Khabib vs Conor 2 ? Even first of early prelims is worth watching and discussing. Like can someone explain why Cody Garbrandt is tagged as one of stupidest ufc fighters ?
^ Yeah that's true... And he had fought in some bangers during his prime. Big reason why the UFC didn't get rid of him given how old he is. And in this spot Bobby Green, he's given a fight that he could win as an underdog. Could be a good night for him and an opportunity to end his fighting days with a high note.

Even though he did not make it big, he has fought many of the big names during their peak at some point Oliveira twice, Poirier, Cerrone, Dariush, Diaz. Even though he has lost, UFC keep him in roster ang give fights. He is kind of a Clay Guida kind of guy fights all the time. I think he will retire at 50 and we will see him on UFC 400 He has won last two fight, doubt that he will retire in few days.

^ And it's funny cos when you look at those matches you realize that he didn't really make it big in the UFC because all of them are in the prelims. Lol. But he's good enough to stay in the UFC tho. Against Bobby Green and at his age, I think he'll lose this one. Will he retire? Maybe... And 300 is a good event to make a post fight announcement.

UFC 300: Embedded Episode 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uREFaFUnFkc
Pay attention to Jim Miller vs Bobby Green fight on UFC 300. If Miller wins (and I think he would submit Green) once again he will set a record of most fight, wins, most fight in division in UFC history. Quite a unique fighter. He is old (40 already) but still manages to win, he is not in top15 (but if he wins Green, he would get there). It might look that UFC build his record of win on purpose (because last his opponents were rather unknown) to get him in hall-of-fame and point on him like "guy who won 40+ fights in ufc).
According to statleaders.ufc.com, he's already holding records for the most fights (43) and most wins (26). So, win or lose, he will just add to his record of the total fights.
The second place in both of those stats is held by Andrei Arlovski, with 41 total fights and 23 wins. Arlovski is pretty close but he's 5 years older than Miller, so I don't think he's a threat to his record.
But all the above relate to UFC fights only and any fights in other organisations are not considered, so there probably are quite a lot fighters with even better overall records.
If all fights are considered, Miller's record would be 55 fights and 37 wins per to his Wikipedia page.
Yesterday found one more interesting fact about Jim Miller. He fought in UFC 100, UFC 200 and now is fighting in UFC 300
Can you imagine how lucky he is He has won in those two fights, next opponent is strong for him, but I hope he will win that fight either. Now that is a true UFC veteran, who is, btw, performing well for his age. If we compare with other guys who have been in UFC for two long, then his record for his age is excellent.
^ The main event is not what we really wanted but the rest of the event is so good, it makes up for it. Something like Jones vs Aspinall would've made it complete tho. That's the match up that everybody would surely wanna see. Two of the best heavy weights in the UFC and it would've been a champ vs interim champ kind of thing. But we can't get everything we want.

(...) Islam Makachev vs Charles Oliveira since their chance to fight again will surely happen because their fans are waiting to see them fight once again to settle it once more. But Charles needs to prove himself in another fight before that and I know he can easily handle whoever it is since he is at his best right now.
Charles is fighting Arman Tsarukyan next week and he's not a favourite in that fight. If he wins he might face Islam again, but we might see Islam fighting the winner of Gaethje Vs Holloway instead, meaning Oliveira (even if wins against Arman) might be forced to fight someone else before getting another title shot. But personally I'm not convinced if he really wants to fight Islam again.
As for Makhachev, it looks like he'll be fighting Poirier first in June. I don't think the fight has been officially announced yet, but there are some news reports confirming Dustin accepted the offer and is willing to take the challenge.
Just 4 finishes in the event coupled with three split decisions makes me think it wasn't that good. Not interested to watch the replay either. Lol. I did tune in for the main event tho. I think Curtis threw the cleaner shots and had Allen in trouble in there...
Let's just wait because after this week the great fighters will be relieved of their obligatory actions and they will be back in the cage getting to fight some good opponents. I'm talking about the Digestan warriors and we will see them soon again because their opponents are also waiting for them it will be a great year once again for the rivals especially Islam Makachev vs Charles Oliveira since their chance to fight again will surely happen because their fans are waiting to see them fight once again to settle it once more. But Charles needs to prove himself in another fight before that and I know he can easily handle whoever it is since he is at his best right now.
