Mike Perry is goofing around Twitter saying he's having a really hard time making weight.  Lawl.  I pretty much doubt that.  If anything, he's prolly mocking Tim Means..?
Mike Perry was not goofing around as he really missed the weight and he weighed in over 4.5 pounds.

Here is the complete weigh ins:

Deiveson Figueiredo (125) vs. Alex Perez (124.5)

Valentina Shevchenko (124.5) vs. Jennifer Maia (124.5)

Mike Perry (175.5)* vs. Tim Means (171)

Katlyn Chookagian (125.75) vs. Cynthia Calvillo (124.5)

Mauricio Rua (205.5) vs. Paul Craig (205.5)

Brandon Royval (125.5) vs. Brandon Moreno (125)

Joaquin Buckley (182.5) vs. Jordan Wright (185.0)

Antonina Shevchenko (125) vs. Ariane Lipski (126)

Daniel Rodriguez (170.5) vs. Nicolas Dalby (170)

Alan Jouban (170.5) vs. Jared Gooden (171)

Kyle Daukaus (185.5) vs. Dustin Stoltzfus (184.5)

Louis Cosce (170.0) vs. Sasha Palatnikov (170.5)

The only thing i do not understand is Joaquin Buckley as he is weighing at 182.5 pounds, did he cut too much weight or his weighing machine in his room malfunction for him to cut too much Grin.

Placing a bet on Jennifer Maia and winning it would appear to be similar to gambling on an ICO token and profiting 10x of your investment hehehe.
Jennifer Maia is a huge underdog for a title fight and it is not a surprise as all her opponents are and there is no contendor in sight that could snatch that title away and the only move or a challenge for Valentina Shevchenko is to move up and challenge Amanda Nunes once again.

In the co-main event of UFC 255, Jennifer Maia is set to fight Shevchenko for the flyweight title. The Brazilian is a massive underdog and not many are giving her a chance. However, Maia said in the lead-up to the fight she got a lengthy message from Nunes on how to defeat Shevchenko.
The only fighter who was able to take Amanda Nunes till the last round after the resurgence of Nunes was Valentina Shevchenko and their last fight was a close split decision and the only advice Nunes could give is to never get finished and swing till the end so that the judges makes the decision  Cheesy.

Jennifer Maia reveals Amanda Nunes sent her "a very long message" on how to beat Valentina Shevchenko

In the co-main event of UFC 255, Jennifer Maia is set to fight Shevchenko for the flyweight title. The Brazilian is a massive underdog and not many are giving her a chance. However, Maia said in the lead-up to the fight she got a lengthy message from Nunes on how to defeat Shevchenko.

“We have a friend in common and I asked him if he could talk to Amanda. She was so nice and sent a very long message to me. It was funny that at the end she apologized for the long message. So cute,” Jennifer Maia said to Sherdog.com. “Basically she told me to not let Valentina be comfortable leading the fight and impose my rhythm. She is very intelligent and reads your game plan very well, mainly when you keep doing a similar sequence. And we worked pretty hard to bring some surprises to her.”

How I wish it could really go back to normal anytime soon, but the thing is 2020 will still keep getting worse in my opinion I think we are really nearing the End Times with so much disaster happening and the Pandemic that is still occurring I think it is just the beginning.
Might be, but the shit keeps on coming and i never thought we would see a world wearing mask and social distancing and the entire country shutting down because of fear of a virus but luckily i have not faced the mother earths wrath and hopefully never will.

It was a pretty awesome and intense fight but I think short notice fights even though it is cool to watch I think it is a danger for fighters to be pitted to someone that they aren't supposed to fight that day even though there are short preparations during the fight it is not enough, but Replaced fights like these is not really new so I think Felder is pretty cool that he is fighting the main event in replacement of Islam Makhachev.
Both these fighters wanted to keep the main event and it was a good fight and Felder took a chance and if he won the fight he would have been in the title contention and now RDA is expecting a big money fight in Conor McGregor.

UFC 255 is coming up and mostly i might go with the champions to retain their belts and i need to look at the under card for some good picks.

Conor McGregor has signed his bout agreement to fight Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 on Jan. 23, McGregor told Ariel Helwani.
I hope this is not a title fight because Conor McGregor has the habit of winning the title and then holding the division hostage for years and he never defended his titles ever in his entire life and i am rooting for Dustin Poirier to win the fight but Conor is a tough nut to crack for the rest of the fighters Grin .

I like both fighters who ever wins this will be a great fight . Dustin may be able to get it to the ground and get the submission but if he doesn’t it will be a war on the feet.
If you see the fights against Khabib, Conor fought well than any other fighter against the take downs even though he was dominated he fared better than the rest of the opponents Khabib faced and with that take down defense he can hold on to anyone else.

 Grin Yeah crazy power on that right hand and he's fast in unloading that too. The leg kicks could work though as Fig stands and wait most of the time or walks straight to his opponent.

Hmmmm odds for Winner & round is surprisingly good for Fig.
R1 at 3.15
R2 at 5.2
R3 at 9.2

^  I mean Fig like has Ngannou power at FW.  Cheesy  It's silly to even ask, really.

Then again if he doesn't finish Perez early, Perez has good leg kicks, good speed, he's more technical and def has better cardio.  But dunno...  I just think Fig catches Perez and sleeps him.

UFC 255 Free Fight:  Perez vs Formiga
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeyRF-48Ku4
My first time seeing KO/TKO due to leg kicks! Shocked

UFC 255 Free Fight:  Figueiredo vs Benavidez 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snuYQzodoOM
I can't believe how Benavidez survived those first few submission attempts.



What's your take on this fight? Perez is a volume striker and his style is almost similar to that of Benavidez. Does he have the chin to withstand Figueiredo's powerful right hand? The defending champ just walks down his opponents probably too confident that he can always land that KO shot.

Perez as 3 to 1 underdog looks really attractive.

^  Yup.  Lines should be closer imo.

Anyway, I put dropped action on Fig and Craig parlay at 2.07ish.  Shogun Rua has been faaar from the legend he was at Pride.  Watch his last watch vs Little Nog.  Lol.

A couple of vids to watch..  Enjoy.  Smiley

I'm also thinking about a Jordan Wright bet.  I think the odds are skewed cos of Buckley's viral KO just a couple of weeks ago vs Impa.
Even i feel the same for Joaquin Buckley as he made a sensational knockout victory and hence he is a heavy favorite in this fight but i have heard bad things about him and his personality and he was banned from several gyms and his feud against James Krause brought some light on the event and James Krause detailed his experience in one of the podcast.

I might regret this..  But I just made a couple of bets for what I think could be live dogs (here I go again.  Lol):  Royval at 2.57 and Tim Means at 2.20.

I'm also thinking about a Jordan Wright bet.  I think the odds are skewed cos of Buckley's viral KO just a couple of weeks ago vs Impa.

I feel Lipski is live here too...  It could be a nice card for underdogs.

Who you guys picking?

I have been busy for almost 3 days now because of the recent typhoon that hit the Philippines, it just devasted my home and left with a muddy floor and muddy appliances so I haven't made a bet for UFC Fight Night Felder VS Dos Anjos,
It is sad to hear mate, the world is going through shit and on top of that a typhoon, not even sure what is going to hit next and when will the world go back to normal Undecided.

How I wish it could really go back to normal anytime soon, but the thing is 2020 will still keep getting worse in my opinion I think we are really nearing the End Times with so much disaster happening and the Pandemic that is still occurring I think it is just the beginning.

It was amazing main event and Felder showed he is having big heart, standing up five rounds with Dos Anjos, after only five days preparations.
He had great cardio and speed but he had no chance to win in this fight.
Felder was preparing for Triathlon and hence it is not a big surprise about his stamina but RDA had a good fight and called out Conor McGregor and even he responded and that is a fight i would like to see in 2021 because it was scheduled twice and unfortunately never happened.

It was a pretty awesome and intense fight but I think short notice fights even though it is cool to watch I think it is a danger for fighters to be pitted to someone that they aren't supposed to fight that day even though there are short preparations during the fight it is not enough, but Replaced fights like these is not really new so I think Felder is pretty cool that he is fighting the main event in replacement of Islam Makhachev.

Exciting two weeks ahead in UFC events.
First we have UFC 255 with two Shevchenko sisters fighting on same card and flyweight championship fight and main event Figueiredo vs Alex Perez,
but don't forget rest of the card, because I see some great and prospect fighters like Jordan Wright with perfect record 11-0, or Platinum Mike Perry.

UFC 255 Embedded Vlog Series Episode 1, with Brandon Moreno, Deiveson Figueiredo, Valentina Shevchenko, Cynthia Calvillo:
https://youtu.be/lDYBfcFrPfg

And week after this we have big heavyweight clash Curtis Blaydes vs Derrick Lewis!
It's never boring fights when we have 'The Black Beast' Wink

Really had a blast this weekend. Can't believe that I got the correct ones from my prediction. Not gonna lie, I really had a bad betting streak in the past weeks. Good thing that I somehow won back some of my BTCs from these UFC bets.  Grin
I am always watching your picks and good to hear that you broke the loosing jinx and whenever i go through that patch i usually takes a break  Smiley.

Hehehe the reason for his move down back to lightweight is becoming clear from his statement. He is 36 years old and he wants to receive a $1 million retirement cheque which can only be earned by fighting Conor.
Everyone in the Light Weight division is having the hope of becoming the champion because everyone knows it is an impossible task to defeat Khabib Nurmagomedov and hence there are many fighters who moved up the division to find opportunities and with him not holding the belt even though he is not stripped everyone knows they can make money as there are good match ups and making money is their ultimate game plan Grin.

Too many Shevchenko in the next ufc card Cheesy Hope both sisters win. They are both in same weight and from same coach. Would be funny if they meet one day.

Another fight that would be interesting to watch is a rematch between Rua vs Craig. As in their previous fight, all 3 rounds were draw in the cards.

Many Thiago Santos fans are seriously worry about the game, if he can fight as usual to win this UFC match. Santos just released from isolation center few months ago that is making people worry how will he have more energy to fight and become  winner in this match. It will hard Glover to defeat Thiago in this season despite some of them just recover from covid-19. Thiago will win this match because with the strategies, show he will defeat Glover in this game.
