As for Umar Nurmagomedov who won today by submission, I listened to his and Khabibs coach who said that Umar is most talented fighter he ever saw in his life, good all around fighter that is more talented than Khabib was!

The hype on Umar Nurmagomedov is the only reason i made a bet in this fight card, after a disastrous betting spree in the last fight card i was not confident on placing a bet and i just went with Umar Nurmagomedov in a parlay which includes other sports.

Michael Chiesa won the fight against Neil Magny, i was expecting Neil Magny to win the fight and glad that i stayed away from it.
I missed watching the entire card, i messed up because of the odd timing than usual.

Here is the results, source from Wiki

I’m leaning Magny and Schnell. But no bets yet atm. And the fighter to watch for the event is Mason Jones. He’s a LW and WW double champ at Cage Warriors... It’s his UFC debut. I’m hoping to see good things from the guy.

Jones The Dragon lost and this is his first defeat.

Why would they even make this event in the middle of the week? Come on... It is Wednesday and I'm stuck at the office. No way I'm going to watch this live...

Update: while checking this event info, found that it is already live and 4 prelim fight has already been ended. Hope I've missed all the boring part, as all the fights ended by decision and by submission by Umar Nurmagomedov.

Guys, anyone of you visited any ufc even live? Just curious.

Just a quick reminder that today UFC event is starting much earlier in just few hours and you can check countdown for exact start:

To get familiar with some of the fighters check out Dana White If you don't know, now you know preview video:
https://twitter.com/danawhite/status/1351802765505400832

I see main event as more equal than odds suggest but bookies have Neil Magny as favorite Chiesa is much better with submission game than Magny.

Very interesting fight card starting from prelims having Khabib cousin Umar Nurmagomedov fighting against Sergey Morozov in all Russian fight.
Umar is huge favorite, but I would bet this can be fight of the night or fighters will get bonus, and Morozov is not that bad to justify this odds.

Does anyone know what time the McGregor fight is actually on this weekend? In the previous promo image it seemed to state 11AM but not sure whether that was the start of the card or what. The main fight cards are usually around 3 hours long but Skybet are listing the headliner at 5AM. Can't stay up for that haha.

@7788bitcoin. Also, running his own MMA promotions company and supporting a stable of 20 Russian MMA fighters requires much money to maintain hehehe. Conor will be his gold mine to have all those expenses paid for years hehe.

Khabib Nurmagomedov earned over $6 million in his last fight against Justin Gaethje, he is one of the highest paid athletes in Russia as per the reports and he has other ventures other than the recently purchased MMA promotion. He is opening gyms under his name in different countries including London and he is a brand ambassador for different brands earning millions and he does have other business ventures as well and some of them including his earnings are undisclosed .

Brand deals will soon dry up if he's not actively fighting. Companies don't usually sponsor ex athletes. The whole point of them is to sponsor them whilst they're active and in the public eye. Taking big fights is easy money for Khabib and it's better to take what he can get whilst he's young and in his prime rather than need the money later when you're washed up and out of shape.

However, owning many businesses will also need the cashflow to properly run them. The more cash on hand had, this will be better and easier for the business owner. I reckon it would be a very wise business decision for Khabib to fight Conor. I also speculate Conor also needs more liquidity in his cashflow hehehe.

Just found out that Khabib is the owner of a mobile operator Eagle Network (https://eaglemobile.ru/#toggle-top-menu - sorry, this is available only on Russian language, but your browser could translate it easily). The network is freshly created (Dec 20, 2020). I think that took a great part of Khabibs savings and we might see his “last 30th fight”

Khabib will probably return if Connor puts on a show, which means one very last showdown between the two. I would be very much hyped for the fight, but I'm not sure if I would be thrilled about Khabib breaking his promise, and returning so soon as I took him as a man of his word, especially because it was his promise to his family.

He lost his coach and a dad who started the journey together and his dad's dream was to reach 30 fights and then retire and considering his dad passed away suddenly he made a promise to his mother that he will not fight again, even if he returns that will be to fulfill the dream of his father to reach that 30 and it can be justified, more over i would love to see Khabib fight for alteast 2 to 3 years and rewrite UFC history for more title defense Grin

@Welsh By the way good picks.

I wasn't too far off of my predictions, but that Mores fight was absolutely shocking. I'd think that both might be cut from the UFC if they keep performing like that. In other news, Max proved all of us doubters wrong, and he looked probably the best he's ever been. Title contention absolutely. Khabib will probably return if Connor puts on a show, which means one very last showdown between the two. I would be very much hyped for the fight, but I'm not sure if I would be thrilled about Khabib breaking his promise, and returning so soon as I took him as a man of his word, especially because it was his promise to his family.

As for the Max Holloway fight, a lot of people suggesting it will be hard to beat for the fight of the year contender, but honestly I thought his performance was fantastic, but it wasn't all that much of a fight, rather just a beat down. Honestly, at times it looked like Rocky when he's in the factory punching some meat bags. Not to be totally disrespectful of Kattar as the guys got a chin of steel, but he was totally outclassed on the night.

It is a crucial fight for Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier considering how tight the competition is in the division, i thought after meeting with Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dana White would talk about the vacant title but now news are coming out that he might be returning to defend his title and it all depends upon how the main event and co main event plays out.

Dana White will be praying that Conor McGregor wins the match so that he will try to make the rematch with Khabib which could be the biggest fight in UFC history Grin

I thought I had the money in the bag betting on under 4.5. I was really expecting Max to win by TKO. I fell on bookies trap once again Grin

Regardless of my betting result, it was an entertaining match. Good to see the former champ back to winning ways.

I think Calvin Kattar needs to rely on his striking but Max Holloway I think he will not struggle against Calvin Kattar, I think that Kattar will not have the same effect on Holloway as Poirier, that is why I think that Max Holloway can have a huge chance in beating Kattar, That is why I am going with Holloway.

Calvin Kattar is a striker and so does Max Holloway and their game plan is not secret either, the interesting aspect of the fight is that as a fan i would like to see who will impose their will in the fight with their striking and presence of mind. The problem i see with Max Holloway is that he had some really tough fights and lost and he was eating a lot of shots in all of those fights and that could hamper his confidence.

I will be watching this fight as a fan rather than placing a bet in the above card.

Yup and Kattar is pretty comfortable when fighting from the outside. He’s not the type of fighter who needs to crash against his opponents to get a couple of punches in. But still.. Holloway is a former champ who fought the best guys at FW and he is no way on a decline yet.

For what the lines are, I lean Holloway. But I have a funny feeling in my gut Kattar could win it somehow. Dunno...

Max Holloway fights aggressively against Calvin Kattar but it is not really enough to takedown Kattar, and I think Kattar really did a great job hanging on until both fighters turned bloodied, Max Holloway doesn't seem to have the striking power that is why Calvin Kattar's perseverance keep on fighting, I think this is a brutal fight both fighters did well but Holloway devastated the points in winning a decision.

after that 2 consecutive loss against Volkanovski I think Kattar is a good trial for him in redeeming his losses, but I guess he will have a hard time emotionally in preparing from this fight, It will surely determine all on the performance against Kattar if Holloway can conquer that.

It is a really crucial fight for Max Holloway as a loss would take him far away from the title picture and i am hoping he is well prepared and on the other hand a win here for Calvin Kattar could propel him to a title shot.

Holloway did his best in making the fight to TKO but Calvin Kattar is one tough fighter to crack open, that is why it ended up in a Decision I think that the technique of Max Holloway seems effective against Kattar but he lacks power in his strike to take the fight into TKO.

I had some doubts before this fight but this was probably the best edition of Max Holloway I ever saw and I am surprised fight was not finished earlier by judges or Calvin Kattar team.
Holloway made a new UFC record 445 significant strikes and Kattar was like his punching bag in this fight.
Respect for amazing performance.

Max Holloway fought the best fight of his life against Calvin Kattar and he will get a rematch against the champion with the level of performance he had.

It was an important fight for Max Holloway to be in the title contention and with the performance he displayed he will be facing Alexander Volkanovski once again in the near future and even Dana White said the trilogy is possible this year.

I did not place a bet in the main event but the ones i made was a disaster, i made a parlay with Santiago Ponzinibbio, Joaquin Buckley and Dusko Todorovic and all these fighters lost in the first round Undecided

.

It was a good card and i just watched the fights and i had doubts about Santiago Ponzinibbio as he is returning after a two year gap and that showed and Joaquin Buckley fought back to back fights without taking much rest and a loss would make him think twice about returning fast.

I remember watching Matt Brown participating in Ultimate Fighter tv show and that was in 2008. I thought he retired long time ago, but opened his page on wiki and it turned out still competes. He almost has no fight last years. Why Dana keeps him in the organization?

Matt Brown and Carlos Condit are legends of the sport and they both fought last year, Matt Brown fought Miguel Baeza but lost that fight and he needs to retire as he is 40 years of age while Carlos Condit is on a two fight winning streak after a loosing streak.
