His current record is impressive. He's got range, decent power, and striking. Some people say he's a better version of Khabib but I wouldn't jump on the hype for this guy yet.

Usman Nurmagomedov name is not yet popular and many people may not be interested in him, not only Khabib Nurmagomedov cousin but he has the same manager and coach. So far he hasn't tasted defeat in 10 fights and this is the start of Usman's good record.

Aleksandar Rakic Def Anthony Smith Maybe the peroneal nerve was true and Rakic was really aiming that for Smith to be outbalanced but not like Sean O'Malley that hasn't recovered quickly Anthony Smith had recovered and we can see that he only tripped down for Rakic to do more damage on him so Smith can go to the second round of the fight, but I am seeing this technique now very common were fighters are now kicking the back of the knee where fighters getting damage by numbing the feet,

But again I am pretty devastated with the result and I thought that the lionheart had fully recovered from the beating he sustains in the first round but that only gotten worst in the next 2 rounds certainly Aleksandar Rakic really had up the notch in getting into the rankings.

^ Lawler should retire imo. He made Magn look like he's as good as Colby Covington. Lol. The Lawler of old is gone folks. He wasn't the same after getting KO'd by Woodley.

Yeah, really disappointed with the way he fought. You can't see the usual aggressiveness and explosiveness. Maybe I'm expecting to see his old self when he fought the likes of MacDonald, Condit, and Hendricks.

Rakic dominated and destroyed legs of Lionheart Smith, winning all 3 rounds without a doubt.
Both my predictions won as I predicted, and fight did go long distance.

Cutelaba vs. Ankalaev was again canceled because of positive covid19 test.
I am seriosly suspecting on this stupid test results as we saw many of them are just worng.

Neil Magny easy win in co-main event.

The main fight with Lionheart vs Rakic is just abuout to start, already a bit tense. Lionheart looks ready and focused, but Rakic looks hungry and prime to go. Whatever happens this will be a crazy fight no matter what, first round is gonna be highly explosive most likely.

Letssss get reeeaaaaaadyyyyy toooooo ruuuuuumbleeeeeeeee!!!

And a 3 leg parlay: Brady win, Ankalaev win and Grasso win at 2.12.

One of these days hopefully I'll look like a genius. Lolol.

I am also going for a parlay with Sean Brady, Mallory Martin and Magomed Ankalaev. The main event is a bit confusing as i have no idea about the mental strength of Anthony Smith after starting well in the fight against Glover Teixeira he lost it completely in the later rounds and how well he recovered is a big issue. The other fight i am wagging is Neil Magny VS. Robbie Lawler and i am picking Neil Magny to win the fight.

I'm the opposite of you. Rakic looks great, but I believe in Lionheart. He will adapt to Rakic as he does to every opponent and make it a lot harder for him to fight the way he want to. If Lionheart goes hard on Rakic and outs him on the ground it's his fight to lose.

The doubt i have is the lion heart and the amount of damage he took in his last fight against Glover Teixeira in May and i feel like he is returning too soon as the damage he took and the mental scar will be huge returning to fight and if Rakic could give him pressure from the start that could deter Anthony Smith to go into offense.

The most anticipated fight starts in 5 hours and I can't wait for the main fight, I also hold the same hero, Rakic. Even though you think Rakic has a low chance of winning but I think 3 rounds can change the fight and there is a big hope that Rakic will win the match.

I am very excited for this fight card and main event Smith vs Rakic.
Odds for Rakic win are low, and even if I think odds should be higher I believe Rakic is more complete and better fighter.
There is no more Jones and road for the title is open for both of them.
Keep in mind that fight will be 3 rounds, and I expect to see fight go long distance.

My second pick is Ankalaev win against Cutelaba.

Rest of the fights I will just watch and enjoy

If anybody cares... My bets are: Pitolo at 2.11, Whitmire at 1.71, small bet on Cifers at 3.53, Brady vs Aguilera to go the distance at 1.96, Chirco at 1.81 and small bet on Lawler at 2.99..

I also got 7 leg parlay: Whitmire vs Ciana to go the distance, Brady win, Chrico win, Ankalaev win, Grasso win, Lawler vs Magny to go the distance, Smith vs Rakic over 1.5 at 15.34ish. Cheesy

And a 3 leg parlay: Brady win, Ankalaev win and Grasso win at 2.12.

One of these days hopefully I'll look like a genius. Lolol.

Looks like Dana tries to somehow apologies to Jones. I remember when Jones said he wants to get more money for his fights and Dana said he could stfu and is free to go after Jones contract is over. Now he offers him immediate title show when there is for example Curtis Blaydes is top2 heavyweight with 4 wins in a row.

There is a lot of time before it comes to that, so things and positions will change. I personally don't believe we will see Stipe and Francis fight next. I think Stipe will take it slow now a bit, which will cause Francis to get some other opponent first before he gets a chance for a title fight.

Just done watching the weigh ins. First impressions... Anthony Smith looked like he didn't want to be there right after his face off with Rakic. And Cummings kinda looked like he wasn't training. Lol.

Anthony Smith (205) vs Aleksandar Rakic (205.5)
Neil Magny (171) vs Robbie Lawler (171)
Magomed Ankalaev (205) vs. Ion Cutelaba (205.5)
Alexa Grasso (126) vs Ji Yeon Kim (126)
Ricardo Lamas (145) vs Bill Algeo (146)
Maki Pitolo (184.5) vs Impa Kasanganay (185.5)
Mallory Martin (115.5) vs Hannah Cifers (117)*
Zak Cummings (185) vs Alessio Di Chirico (184)
Alex Caceres (145) vs Austin Springer (151)*
Emily Whitmire (115.5) vs Polyana Viana (116)
Sean Brady (170.5) vs Christian Aguilera (170)

^ ^ Lol_Dana.

Anyway I cashed out my Impa Kasanganay bet and changed it to Maki Pitolo at 2.09. Pitolo has the better striking and is strong in the clinch if it comes to that. So it's gonna be hard grinding him with his back at the cage.

That's the only bet I have so far. Waiting for the weigh ins til I make more.

Look at this bomb news from Dana White.
He said Jon Jones deserves immediate title shot for heavyweight!
I think he is a great fighter but I predict he will be crushed by Stipe Miocic or some other big guy.

^ Yup, Smith in his current line is def value. But you gotta consider the beating he got from Texiera at his last match. Go look it up and watch the tape. It was a nasty beating. Not so sure if he has recovered from that one.

And the match is only three rounds, not the usual 5 for a main event. I wonder why...

Anyway, the only bet I have so far is for Impala ML at 1.71.

That is one hell of a beating he receives from Texiera and many fans are blaming Marc Montoya for not throwing the towel, But Anthony Smith defended him by saying that he doesn't allowed any stoppage of the fight that if he dies he dies, actually I think that Anthony Smith should be saved from himself for asking crazy stuff like that but, he would surely live for his name the lionheart,

Well I guess he is in good condition right now and preparing the fight that he has right now I guess he has a complete set of teeth ready to fall out again. lol

Strange that no one excited to see Robbie Lawler vs Neil Magny fight. Lawler is a veteran of MMA sports that has been in business for 20 years.

No, it's the fight that first caught my attention when I saw the card. We know what he brings to the octagon whenever he fights. I don't remember seeing him again after that fight with Askren. He really looked good there.

~ Anthony Smith (33-15) is coming from lose in fight against Teixeira in May.
Aleksandar Rakic (12-2) also lost last fight against Volkan Oezdemir, but has won four previous UFC fights.

Is this the first ever main UFC card where both fighters came from a loss? No offense to both fighters and their supporters.
