No disrespect to Holm vs. Aldana card but I just can't wait for that event to finish and move on to the much anticipated Khabib vs. Gaethje on UFC 254.

UFC 254: Khabib vs Gaethje – Unbreakable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDlECe9h7Ks

^ Listen to how many pundits are saying "Gaethje is the most dangerous guy" or "He's the toughest challenge" but how many times they've said that in Khabib's previous opponents? Grin

The joke is that Costa is still clueless, he challenged Adesanya for a rematch because he humped him while he was sleeping in the cage Cheesy

.

Yeah I've seen that. He wants a rematch because he felt so embarrassed. He should be more embarrassed with the way he performed in that fight. He doesn't deserve an immediate title match.

It is a decent card, i am rooting for Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie, the rest of the card i need to study carefully.

Seems average at best to me. Holm is pretty much the only fighter I'd be interested in watching. There's not really any cards I'm super interested in until UFC 254 with Khabib/Gaethje to be honest.

McGregor has said that his next fight will be Vs Manny Pacquiao. I'll believe that when I see it but if he's interested in fighting again he should just get back to the UFC. I'm sure Dana will be more than happy to give him some big fights.

Costa thought he's in Adesanya's head after all the online bullying, trash talking, and handing of white belt. He probably forgot that Israel is a seasoned/veteran fighter who knows mind games all too well.

The fight experience of Adesanya is insane as this was his 100th pro win and i knew about the number when Adesanya said that in the post fight speech and he was digging at Jon Jones and Jones responded that even with 100 wins he does not have the balls to fight him Cheesy

How Israel Adesanya KO'd Paulo Costa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_0n5NwkNqQ

I thought I clicked the wrong link upon seeing the anime Grin

The analysis mixed with animation was cool though. Adensanya kept saying he's 10 steps ahead of Costa and that was apparent in this fight.

I'm surprized by Costa performance. Dont know why he taunted him during the fight and did not show BJJ skills. Costa underestimated him, that 100% reason he had lost.

I was not surprised by the results but expected Costa to have a good chin and Adesanya proved that he is just hype. it is not about underestimation but he wanted Adesanya to stand in front of him and throw hands and that was his game plan and if he is not getting him as a punching bag he had no idea what to do and Adesanya did a good job chopping his legs and then finishing him up in the second round.

It is funny to see how Adesanya is killing Costa in instagram right now. White belt mounted BJJ black belt. "buying a new Rolls Royce that COSTA lot" end etc. Grin

Costa posted a skit well before the fight to mock Adesanya about him running in the cage and Adesanya posted that again and called him out Cheesy

.
The idea was clear, the game plan was Costa wanted him in front of him.

Yup! Had the line at 3.15. So good value. Lost some back on the Costa bet tho. He had the wrong game plan which prolly was to start slow then go apeshit prolly in the third round. Dunno.. He should have adjusted after seeing that it wasn't working.

Lets be honest here and say that Costa's game plan was to act like an idiot. He was spending more energy on trying to mock Adesanya the actually fight him. Adesanya picked him apart like it was a sparring session for him, it was awesome to watch, but also terrible to see Costa make such a fool out of him self.

Błachowicz did a proper job, he was rock solid and took the win with no question marks. Very clean fight from his side.

Dunno what was exactly going on but it seemed like Costa's camp was trying to copy Romero's strategy. Then again Costa prolly had nothing on Adesanya. Watch this...

Going with my gut... But I won't be making more bets as is. But if one of my bets win, I'll be taking Costa. I have this funny feeling about Blachowicz too.. If another wins, I might take him.

Jan Błachowicz just made your funny feeling, i did not expect Jan Błachowicz to win by knockout withing two rounds as he was claiming during the fight week and i am impressed with the combinations and the calculated risk he took during this fight and he rearranged the nose of Dominick Reyes.

The main card is next and really excited to see how this fight will go, i am picking Israel Adesanya to win the fight but if Paulo Costa wins after all the trash talking it will be humiliating.

Till now there were some underdog wins in this card, lets see how the main event goes.

Oh my god, Israel Adesanya stopped Paulo Costa, Costa was coasting too much and the in fight antics as he was too confident, i was a clinical show by Israel Adesanya picking apart Costa and then finishing him.

Like I said before, Israel Adesanya crashed Paulo Costa and it made it look so easy.
Costa never had a chance to win this and those who placed a bet on Adesanya ko win banked good.

Błachowicz surprised me with his win against Reyes but I didn't watch him before so much.

Israel Adesanya Vs Paulo Costa

That is our Stylebender! as expected Adesanya really is effective against Costa getting the leg kicks points at first and Costa imitates Romero while taunting Adesanya to keep on Striking but Adesanya was pretty fast for Costa and not landing any kicks, Paulo Costa is a striker and he approaches in a manner of waiting to counter, but that was a good fight my eyes was glued on the screen while watching.

Jan Błachowicz Vs Dominick Reyes

It is true when Blachowicz said that if Reyes was the Vegeta he is the Broly that will destroy him and that power from Blachowicz was really true he will truly show his game just like what he has said, He made a mess into Reyes by Bloodied his nose.

Main event and main co-main event lived up to expectation somehow.

There's always the possibility that Blachowicz vs. Reyes would end early given their power. Not taking away anything from Blachowicz but maybe the change in coach had something to do with Reyes' loss.

I thought Adesanya would "dance" in the first two rounds to frustrate Costa, who is used to fighting human "punching bags", then pick up the pace starting round 3. In the end, he made light work of Costa. All that talk from Costa but all I remember him doing during the fight was taunting.

Israel Adesanya vs PauloCosta: And just like that StyleBender popped up the balloons of Costa. A dominant performance by Adesanya showing his skills to be the Greatest Middleweight Champion of the World, got to respect that. I don't know what to say about Costa's performance, then he got humped by Izzy after the TKO.

Jan Blachowicz vs Dominick Reyes: Damn those polish powers punches! Congratulations to Blachowics as the New UFC Light Weight Champion he deserves it. Expect will see the rematch of Blachowicz vs Santos this will be an unexpected match for the Title.

Adesanya would become the style bender for nothing, you can really see from his fights he will surely feint his attacks that some opponent would react for a counter shots he is not throwing worthless strikes he is thinking before approaching the opponent that is so good about him, and Costa is mocking Adesanya's performance on Romero for running in the fight well that is his good side always on the safe side.

Two undefeated fighters, Costa known for brawls and Adesanya known as a distance striker, the cage is not small as per the media reports and if that is the case Adesanya can avoid the flurry of shots and i am expecting Costa to come out strong to knock him out in the first two rounds and the fight will be how Adesanya is avoid those and countering.

My prediction for the card is Juan Espino, William Knight, Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa over 2.5 rounds and Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz over 2.5 rounds.

I guess he is having a hardtime with that weight cut but there are people that if they have a weight cut they become more slick with their movements and there are people that even though they have an overweight body they can still move gracefully with it, I guess it will depend on their performance on the ring, but I can assure that there are fighters that are not so honest in this pre-fight press conference with their ability to do in the ring in gaining and declining of weight.

I don't think he will be more slick, but lets see the fight.

Look at this...tension is bulding up and they had to pull apart Adesanya and Paulo Costa during face-offs Cheesy

What was Paulo Costa trying to do with that white belt? Maybe to upset Adesanya?? Cheesy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySeqp6CY9GU

Maybe!? lets just watch what may happen on the fight if Costa will be not very effective and has less power now, Or as you said become slick in his movement, Because I always saw Costa in his weight and things is just going his way but Adesanya is his opponent there are a lot of theory that Costa will still be slower than Adesanya because Israel Adesanya will just toy Costa inside the ring with his defensive movement maneuver skill.

Quote from: tokeweed on September 26, 2020, 07:30:06 AM

^ There's also the bit at the pre fight press conference with Costa making fun of Adesanya's earrings.. saying his mom had the same earrings. I broke out laughing at that. Hilarious.

that was a pretty good one on Costa and Adesanya looks irritated by that comment, For a person that loves so much anime in his life and his movement and style on the ring I think he is pissed and just wants to look cool on the crowd.

Paulo Costa knew Israel Adesanya is a purple belt and he was vocal about that and then he presented him a white belt Cheesy

.
Another comical face off was Shane Young, he was shouting some gibberish and the face of Dana White was priceless Cheesy

.

There is a tweet from Conor McGregor that he is facing Manny Pacquiao in boxing in the Middle East, since he tweets many things not sure what is future holds and when he is planning to come back to fight and get rid of controversies.
