Don't know why Dos Santos is huge favourite, he had lost 4 out of his last 5 fights (now in a series of 2 straight losses). Felder has 3 wins in his last 5 fight
From what i understand Paul Felder was not in fight shape as he was not training for that as he was preparing for a marathon and i was surprised that he took the opportunity, Dos Santos was basically fighting at welterweight and that too tough competition and title challengers and he was a former lightweight champion and so is the reason he is a heavy favorite.

The picture proves it also, as Felder is already covered with blood  Grin Funny that he was only scheduled to work the event as a color-commentator in this, and now he is the main event of the evening.

Don't know why Dos Santos is huge favourite, he had lost 4 out of his last 5 fights (now in a series of 2 straight losses). Felder has 3 wins in his last 5 fight .

Also, Makhachev was not tested positive for covid-19, but got a staph infection.

^  Yo..  You won this week's pool.  Congrats.  Smiley

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5286072

I just sent the winners Betnomi screen names and I'm still waiting for Betnomi's reply if the pool continues for another around. 

Anyway...  I seriously couldn't see why Teixiera vs Santos wasn't Fight of the Night.  Such bs.

I really didn't expect that thanks tokeweed, wish betnomi will still continue to provide many gamblers fun ways and to attract newer ones.

Hey guys, I was informed the prizes for the pool's winners have been sent.  But I'm sad to say that the pool has been suspended for now..  I hope you guys had fun while it lasted.

it surely is a fun way to make use of some research information on every fight and it is indeed free, will surely support betnomi this time.



Anyone who watched last UFC event could see how easy is to lose your ear if you are mma fighter  Shocked
I am talking about fight Max Griffin vs Ramiz Brahimaj, and Max Griffin's elbow ripped off Ramiz ear with blood coming out all over.
He was dominating and deserved to win, but I hope doctors will patch Ramiz ear.

I was not expecting main even to finish like this with Glover Teixeira win, but that is why mma is so interesting.
Giga Chikadze won like I expected and received a bonus for best performance of the night.




That was one nasty injury I can not imagine if this is more serious than Alistair Overeem's lip injury, but I think the doctors will do something to still save his ear and to recover just like Overeem's lips.

It was fun, and cheers to Betnomi for creating this competition, and I hope we see them again soon in action.

For everyone who missed ear rip thing, you can listen to post fight interview Max Griffin gave and his explanation: https://youtu.be/Bla2x8EJQks

Next week UFC event is not that interesting to me, after Makhachev was forced to skip event because of staph infection, but I am preparing for big fight Blaydes vs. Lewis on November 28

This is going to be a nice exam for Makhachev. If he passes experienced Dos Anjos, he might have a next fight against someone from Lightweight top15.
The fight is off but what i would like to point out is Islam Makhachev is ranked 12 and Rafael dos Anjos was not ranked in lightweight but he is a former champion and if that fight took place and Islam Makhachev could win the fight then he will get anyone from the top 5 considering how he wins.

As Khabibs father, Abdulmanap said: "when Khabib retires, Islam is going to be a next champ. Another my student is going to be a champ".
Islam Makhachev has the skills to become the champion but i have seen him struggle against Arman Tsarukyan in some of the exchanges in the early rounds and i really doubt his chin against elite strikers.

And Islam Mackachev is out due to undisclosed reasons.  Prolly covid.  I think it's the best time to put Chandler in there as a replacement and ease him into the LW rankings.
It is unfortunate that the fight is off for the second time in two months and Rafael Dos Anjos even called out Michael Chandler to be the replacement but i doubt Chandler will take the fight considering he had to cut weight in a months time even as a replacement fighter and i do not think he will be willing to cut the weight again in a short interval of time considering he is making his debut in the UFC.

Tony cut weight twice in a short period of time and he was not able to perform like he used to against Gaethje.

it was reported that Makhachev was forced to pull from the event due to injuries. But, according to his last Instagram post, he got some kind of infection during weight cut. He also says that "this is not the first time team faced this infection, causing fights to be postponed". Covid probably.

There is no information about replacement on ufc.com and Islam Makhackev is still in the card.

^  Yup..  Giles vs Lewis was decent, the one with Barcelos was good and def watch the main event.  That's my fight of the night, not sure why the UFC gave it to Barcelos vs Taha.

Only fight I watched was the Claudia Gadelha one. Thought the decision was very harsh. Are the other fights worth watching?

@hilariousetc. Claudia Gadelha has big stomach like 3 months pregnant lady sometimes hehehe.


Wat? I'm sure you wouldn't kick her out of bed.

I won both my bets last night. Ooof

Congrats! to you and keep it up

And on the result for the UFC FIGHT NIGHT: SANTOS VS TEIXEIRA

Main card (ESPN)
Glover Teixeira Def. Thiago Santos - SUBMISSION        
Andrei Arlovski Def. Tanner Boser - DECISION
Raoni Barcelos Def. Khalid Taha - DECISION      
Giga Chikadze Def. Jamey Simmons - KO/TKO            
Yan Xiaonan Def. Cláudia Gadelha - DECISION

Preliminary card (ESPN+)
Trevin Giles Def. Bevon Lewis - KO/TKO            
Alexander Romanov Def. Marcos Rogério de Lima - SUBMISSION      
Darren Elkins Def. Luiz Eduardo Garagorri - SUBMISSION
Max Griffin Def. Ramiz Brahimaj - KO/TKO
Gustavo Lopez Def. Anthony Birchak - SUBMISSION

It was a cool fight Glover Teixeira is keeping his pace in taking the fight to the ground which is expected for him to do. And a little disappointed with a one Cancelled fight between Ian Heinisch VS Brendan Allen but overall I think it's OK.

I was surprised with the Andrei Arlovski win, he always had a glass chin and even if you look at this fight i thought Tanner Boser landed more shots in the fight and i was surprised when the judges gave the fight to Andrei Arlovski. Expecting more of your picks in the future.

Glover Teixeira fought like i expected him to fight and Teixeira always had a great chin and even at the age of 41 he was able to absorb the punches and it was the best fight of the night even though he got dropped twice but pushed through and submitted Thiago Santos. Dana White did not gave this fight any bonus which surprised me.

I am hoping for some good fights in this UFC event.
Main event Thiago Santos (21-7) vs Glover Teixeira (31-7) is hard fight to pick, but I think it will go for Thiago Santos.
He lost last fight with Jon Jones but it was split decision and he proved he is top level fighter.
Teixeira 41 and five years older but has good recent record with 4 wins and last with Anthony Smith.
Odds are low and suggesting that Thiago Santos will win, and I predict it will be with KO.  
      
Don't forget to watch prelim fight Giga Chikadze vs Jamey Simmons.
I expect this will be great fight won by Giga Chikadze.

Good pre-fight interview Thiago Santos made before fight with Glover Teixeira:

NOTE:
Ian Heinisch tested positive for covid19 and fight with Brendan Allen is canceled!

Here are couple bets for tonight:

Andrei Arlovski - Tanner Boser: My bet
Thiago Santos - Glover Teixeira: My bet

Teixeira is dangerous both on the ground and in the standing position, Santos is a striker. Arlovski is a famous veteran who has endured many well-known fighters. What do you think about these bets? GL! Wink

Yeah...  And it puts the winner of the title eliminator between Santos and Teixeira in an awkward spot.  What would these guys be fighting for then if the LHW title shot goes to Adesanya?
Same thought here. Like WTF is Dana thinking agreeing to this fight? Yeah the champ already agreed but what about these two? Throw out everything else for the bigger PPV I guess?



So I was wondering what changed now? Both Jones and Adesanya challenged each other before but why did Dana failed to make a deal for both? Surely that would have brought more PPVs than other title fights. He probably see Blachowicz as an easier target for his new cash cow.
