You can call Israel Adesanya being smart, he was creating all the hype and challenging Jon Jones for a long time and he was vocal that he needs time to move up in wight class to face Jon Jones and now all of a sudden when Jon Jones vacated his title he is moving up, now he thinks that he does not need time to prepare for a heavier weight division because the champion is not Jon Jones.

I wish to see Jan Blachowicz defending his title a couple of times before allowing a super fight to happen because that would have created more hype for this bout.

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?

Here are the weigh ins and face offs.  Watching them could help make reads for your final picks imo.

WOW! Michelle Waterson was great in that photo, but apparently, her body transformation was very incredible and very inspiring at the same time preparing for another fight after getting pregnant, and I really don't know that she has posted on ESPN well I think it is inappropriate to post it here so I will just post the link of the article,

Well, I don't bet on UFC Fight Night now and I will just enjoy the fights because I am not in the mood to make bets, but I have posted and supporting tokeweed's Betnomi's UFC pool thread, good luck to all participants and enjoy.

Adesanya is not avoiding anyone for sure, and his 20-0 MMA record is showing it.
I do believe he can beat even Jones but he needs more time and more muscles.
Confirmation for him moving to light heavyweight division to challenge Jan Blachowicz and great interview for MMAJunkie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8Hpsdd3Vyg

Even if Khabib Nurmagomedov returns i do not think that he will be willing to take on Conor McGregor as he completely dominated and finished him, i would love to see him return and defend his belt a few more times as the debate of GOAT is going on and if he is able to defend a few more times and take on Tony Ferguson even though it is one of the cursed fight in MMA history and if GSP is willing to come back then it will be the biggest fight in MMA history.

The funny thing is that Israel Adesanya is calling out Jon Jones but avoid to fight him and now when Jon Jones vacated the title he is moving up to claim that title, a fight against Jon Jones will be the biggest fight because of their animosity and if it is prime Jon Jones he will smoke Israel Adesanya and that is where the interest is in this fight.

Big UFC bomb from Dana White is that they will probably make a great fight Jan Blachowicz vs. Israel Adesanya!
There is no exact timeline or location for this event but I am ready to watch it
I saw early odds and Adesanya is heavy favorite, and no wonder when he has 20 wins and zero defeats.

^  Daaayum.

The last couple of events got me a little gun shy.  Lol.  For this one I'll go for a couple of safe ones:  Romanov and Boser parlay at 1.72ish and Yan at 1.71ish.  That should hit...  I mean..  right?  

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

This battle of 2 sex kittens might also be good sports entertainment for you hehe.





According to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, Michelle Waterson will take on rising contender, Amanda Ribas on the pay-per-view-card. According to the report, the fight is not signed as of yet but both have agreed to the matchup.

UFC 257 is expected to take place in at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event is likely to be Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 2

Hey guys, just dropping some vids to watch to get yourselves with who these guys at the main event are somehow.

UFC Free Fight:  Santos vs Anders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFmgCIuDCU4

I think Texeira could be live here.  He's more active and he's been looking good lately.  Santos on the other hand has had two major ACL surgeries and he's been away for like a year and 4 months after the loss to Jon Jones.

Can Santos KO Texiera early in the fight?  Sure he can...  But I think the market has Texiera way undervalued.


And guys..  join the pool.  The prices are slightly higher and you get a chance to double it up.  And you also get a chance to win 500 USD.  C'moooon!  It's basically free money.

Let McGregor have a few fights then do a massive  grudge match bout between Khabib and McGregor for his 30th fight. Easily be the biggest payday in UFC history and will break the Pay Per View records no doubt. I don't think anyone will beat Khabib but I hope he doesn't retire. I'm sure he was just full of emotion so just take some time out and come back for the big jobs when he's ready.



Well they have to undergo medicals before fights and surely they can't have missed this for so long. I'm sure they test vision. I don't know whether it's permitted or not to fight with one eye but why wouldn't he have told anyone about it? It would likely effect things like insurance if it hasn't been disclosed. It's certainly a massive disadvantage to fight with just one eye and fighters usually have real trouble in the cage when they can't see out of one eye because they either damaged it during the fight or blood is pouring into it effecting their vision. It puts your equilibrium off and not to mention you can't see some punches coming or not as effectively.


Will watch just for Cláudia Gadelha  .

^  Yup it's free to withdraw.

Btw guys, Felipe Corales got covid and the UFC is still looking for a replacement fighter for Gustavo Lopez.  But rather than wait, I decided to start Betnomi's UFC pool right away:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5286072

Have fun.

I also saw this new competition run by betnomi. There's still plenty of time to put our prediction here, it's a great promotion as the winning is not anymore in the form of free bet, am I right @tokeweed? It's withdrawable anytime?

Long awaited fight between Santos and Teixeira. As I remember, their fight was postponed twice due to both fighter were tested positive for covid-19.
Another chance for crystal chin to remind that he used to be a heavyweight champ. I think Arlovski  should retire soon. His record in last years does not look impressive. But, Andrei in many video on youtube said he will fight "till he have strength". Don't know if he should really test his strength in UFC, as there are no easy contenders there and with years, his reactions, skills and head (*caught* chin) will not be as it used to be 10 years ago.

Good to hear and they are giving a much bigger jackpot for football and hopefully we will see that for UFC , i will be trying my best next time and congrats on all the winners. Thank you for making this happen.

It is an interesting card and some names that are well known. With the belt changing hands Glover Teixeira has a chance to fight for the title if he wins this but news are coming out about Israel Adesanya moving up in weight class to fight for the light heavyweight title.

Good news tokeweed, and sign me up for next round.

Next event is UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Teixeira, on November 7 and not so easy for making predictions.

I'm happy to announce that Betnomi is interested to do another one.  I'm gonna ask for a small bump for the prizes and a bit of an opportunity for you guys to bump it up even more.

And I'll include a decent jackpot if the Betnomi guys approve it.

Let's get ready for one more UFC from LasVegas with main event Uriah Hall vs Anderson Silva.

I am going favorite Uriah Hall (15-9) here or should I say I am betting more against AndersonSilva (34-10)
He is a legend of the sports but he is getting older and he is getting worse every fight, and now even thinking to continue fighting after this fight.
People should know and stop when they are at top, and not like this losing 6 from his last 7 fights.
Uriah Hall is a lot younger fiigther and he won two last fights and I would not be surprised if we see TKO today and Silva on ground.

You should also not miss fights Mitchell vs Filli and M.Greene vs Greg Hardy
I expect to see great fights here.


Countdown for start:

^  I don't think Khabib really cared about fighting or his undefeated record.  Dunno..  Just my read on him based on interviews.  His so called 'legacy' could really be something to please his dad.

Anyway, last call for this event's UFC pool.  I know the prizes are small but I could ask Betnomi to bump up the prizes and make more opportunities to get it even higher..  like double your prize if somebody could guess the fight of the night.

Let's play:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/betnomis-ufc-prediction-pool-for-ufc-las-vegas-12-hall-vs-silva-ended-5284513

Edit:  And by bump up the prizes, I meant for the next event's pool.  So it's really important we show interest to keep the pool going for every event.

I remember that GSP left UFC because he has plans to prepare for olympics (dont remember, judo or wrestling). As Khabib is a master of universe in wrestling, Dana could organize a show match or something of that kind among them. Both fighters are not afraid of injuries, but wrestling match can limit them for sure. I think that would be a good idea to make a match like this, as one fighter has retired, and other is 39 years old and last time fought 3 years ago.

The most anticipated match is today, I can't afford to miss ''Hall vs Silva. The match will be bloody. Both fighters haven't lost any of their matches. This will be the toughest match of the year.
I see Hall coming out victorious at the end
