^ 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.

If it was a 5 round fight I would say that Lionheart takes this one 100%, he would wear down Rakic and we all know that Lionheart can take a beating too if needed and still win. Since it is 3 round fight I'm not so sure, simply because Rakic can stay fast and explosive for 2 rounds for sure and he will start slowing down in third if Lionheart does not press him all the time.

Lionheart has only one main problem overall, he tends to relax to much during the fight and his concentration drops and rhythm too. He gets so comfortable during the fights, talks to judge and commentators while being hit and makes a lot of fights that he is winning look like he is losing them.

If he does this while fighting Rakic he will lose the fight.

And yeah, I wrote Lionheart all the time, he is my favorite fighter in this division Grin

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.

Next fight that I would like you to pay attention to is Sean Brady vs. Christian Aguilera. Christian Aguilera - I think I know why this guy started to train mix martial arts. Because he was bullied at school due to his name, that sounds similar with Christina Aguilera (American singer and actress) Grin

Anthony Smith vs. Aleksandar Rakić

I could say many Pro fighter believing that Anthony Smith could certainly win this, In my opinion, Anthony Smith is a Seasoned fighter with lots of win and losses so he got the experience he needs to simply put down Rakic but his performance with Jimi Manuwa was the performance of the night and considering how great of a fighter Manuwa is Rakic really did a stunning performance so I guess Anthony Smith must take precaution in fighting Rakic, Anthony Smith if he can pull a Lionheart move just like he did with Elvis Mutapcic, Andrew Sanchez, Hector Lombard, Rashad Evans, And Mauricio Rua in Keeping his distance and taking the opportunity and time to strike hard, That is why Respect for Anthony Smith.

I am very excited for upcoming UFC fight night 175 Smith vs Rakic.
Main event is Anthony Smith vs Aleksandar Rakic, but there are more interesting fights.
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.
Looking at betting odds, we can see that Rakic is heavy favorite here, and early odds are very low.
I am thinking fight will go long distance, but waiting to see next days and news.

^ Lemos def won. I guess that answers the cardio question. Lol. It could be assumed that moving down two weight classes required a good diet, discipline and a whole lot of conditioning which improves cardio by a whole lot. Something to remember.

And Edgar... Just wow. Looked pretty good at 135.

^ Yup exactly. I know at that line it looks good but it could be a trap. Lemos dropped down two weight classes at her last bout and subbed her opponent in the first round. Inoue on the other hand didn't really look good in her UFC debut. Slight lean on Inoue but pass.

Anyway Prachnio didn't look bad at the scale so pass on the under 1.5. Waiting for OSP...

Amanda Lemos is really is one tough bastard to take you can see on her recent opponents and the during her fight with Mizuki that she has an accurate strikes and even her nasty spinning elbow are connecting to Mizuki Inoue but in my opinion even though it is sounded bias Mizuki for me had done many strikes than Lemos, But I surely respect the judges decision.

Dana should go back to Abu Dhabi for the next events, I reckon. I am certain that this will not be the last infection on a UFC athlete if this stays in Las Vegas. They are putting themselves at risk!

In any case, @YuginKadoya, our cute Japanese doll has lost the fight hehehehe.

I Agree that Abu Dhabi is a best place to do the UFC events for the safety of all the athletes, But in my opinion he is cost cutting right now, but the health of the fighters are more important than putting them in a risky situation.

Cry

She might have lost against Amanda Lemos but she will still be my favorite cute Japanese doll fighter, and she really did her best so I am still very proud of her Amanda Lemos is really a tough bastard to take, And I have still bet for Inoue knowing that she might lose this fight.

Braking news!
Ovince Saint Preux tested positive for COVID19 and co-main event with Alonzo Menifield has been canceled.
He tested both positive and negative this week, but they still decided to cancel this fight.
I think all this covid10 tests are pure shit and highly inaccurate Angry

^ At first I was leaning Solecki but then watching tapes on Hubbard, I like that I know he'll fight for my money. And he's with Elevation MMA, training with the likes of Blaydes and Gaethje.

Anyway, most confident picks are Hubbard and Menefield... But degen mode turned on and ended up making small bets on: Semelsberger, I think he looked better at weigh ins. Villanueva, he's fighting somebody on super short notice who weighed in 5 lbs short. Inoue, I was back and forth on this but that sexy pic got me. Lol. And she does have great cardio, Lemos cardio is questionable.

Edit: And I did some props for Munhoz to win at rounds 3, 4 and 5 at 8.22, 12.05 and 16.70. I think Edgar's falling on the later rounds. We'll see...

^ But you have to consider that Edgar is moving down to 135 for this bout at 38 years old and has been KO'd twice in his last two fights. All the damage over the years fighting is taking its toll.

Edit: OSP looked deflated... Bet on Menefield at 1.78. Lol.

The age is a major factor as none of the fighters moving down at the later of their career never did well and even though he was not a big fighter the weight cut could have an impact on the performance but i feel he can be durable but Pedro Munhoz is much faster and it could create problems and i expect the fight to go the distance.

My other pick will be Joe Solecki simply because of his striking accuracy. OSP is a tough pick as he always have one odd performances, one day he looks like a world beater and the next fight he looks like he is finding it difficult to get to the grove.

Frankie Edgar has an advantage in terms of experience as he has a total of 31 fights while Pedro Munhoz has a total of 22 fights only but their winnings is not that far so I guess that this fight is gonna be interesting.

They have 5 years age gap which is not that far, so I am expecting that this will be a close fight and will likely to finish the game without any KO's or TKO's if none of them will make a little mistake.

I do not trust Dana. This is what I predict will occur, Dana will organize Jon Jones versus Francis Ngannou for an eliminator or interim championship on December. I speculate that Stipe might not fight again for the rest of 2020. Dana will create a reason hehehehe.

@tokeweed. Look at Mizuki Inoue, she is favorite with favorable odds on 1.78.

Also, where is @mich? He will also like her hehehe.

She looks Georgeus in that photo, I love a Japanese woman when I see one Grin

but Amanda Lemos shouldn't be taken lightly because she has good submission skills and devastating punching and kicking skill as well, even though Mizuki is good at her strike with the punch and knee and knows karate I guess Amanda Lemos will be a tough opponent for her in my opinion, But I am still going with Mizuki Inoue not because I love Japanese chics but because of her experience in her recent fights and she is a good rounder to striking and the ground fight aswell.

^ Which ones you looking at?

Anyway, I'm watching the weigh ins right now. Waiting for OSP and Prachnio. If they both look bad I'd be pulling the trigger on Menefield to win and under 1.5 rounds respectively.

And I already got Hubbard at 2.15.

Anthony Johnson is planning to return for over a year and early he was said to be coming back as a heavyweight fighter and he is massive and how can he reduce that kind of muscle to get back to light heavyweight.

Anthony Johnson retired after loosing his second fight to claim the title and now he thinks that he is able to capture the one title he missed out in his career and so is the reason he wanted to return at light heavyweight and he will do that with the help of nutritionist, if Jose Aldo can move down to 135 pounds when he was struggling to get to 145 pounds then Anthony Johnson will cut weight.

It seems like a sloppy card for betting imo.

I saw a couple of heavy underdogs in the fight card and i have no idea about their fighting caliber.

Also, Dana has a problem. A good problem hehehe! Who will fight Stipe first?

Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou are his pets and Dana hates Stipe because he is not marketable. I reckon that he might let his pets fight Stipe subsequently and hope one of them wins hehe.

From what I saw today it seems Dana has already decided that Francis has to fight Stipe first and Bones needs to have a fight or 2 before he gets a chance to fight for the title in heavyweight.

Dana really hopes and wants Francis to be his poster boy for heavyweight division and Stipe stands in the way, not marketable Stipe...

I don't think it will go this way as Dana has planned, Bones won't like this and Stipe will also have a thing or two to say about this first.

Let's see how this will untangle.

I do not trust Dana. This is what I predict will occur, Dana will organize Jon Jones versus Francis Ngannou for an eliminator or interim championship on December. I speculate that Stipe might not fight again for the rest of 2020. Dana will create a reason hehehehe.

Sean got hurt in the back of the knee and actually I saw a video about his injury which might be true and you should check it too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5tdgQAZuVY

Basically he lost the feeling on the leg after getting hit on some nerve and hence twisted his feet after that.

What I do not like was how Marlon Vera was shouting like he knocked out Sean with a single punch and kept on saying idiotic things in the interview after that. I mean yes you win, but clearly because of the injury and have some calmness if not respect for the opponent.

Eye pokes again in the Miocic vs Cormier fight so I don't know what to say about that fight since Miocic has done it only this time while Cormier gets to feel how it hurts when he used to do it against Miocic in previous fights.

JDS was looking good but Rozen's power was too much.

Even though the peroneal nerve is just a speculation I really get to think after watching the video you have shown Marlon Vera might have plan for it or even though it is just a coincidence we can conclude that Sean O'Malley did really lose, because he doesn't recover fast from losing his sensation on his peroneal nerve that is why he got injured in the process, Well Marlon Vera is a jerk in doing so clearly if this is intentional then he is really afraid that he might lose to Sean O'Malley for being a great fighter than him.

Quote from: eaLiTy on August 18, 2020, 06:56:21 PM

This is the second time he is having the same injury during a fight and i think the body of Sean O'Malley is brittle and could get injured easily and in this fight Marlon Vera was smart enough to take advantage of the situation and finish the fight while his other opponent Andre Soukhamthath failed to take advantage of the injury.

The calf kick is effective against some fighters and i have seen the same injury for Michael Chandler during the fight and he is usually a durable fighter but the kick on the calf by Primus had the same affect like we saw with Sean O' Malley and for any fight fans of Michael Chandler we might see him in the UFC as he is a free agent and he is meeting with Dana White and i hope to see him in the UFC.

Anthony Johnson is returning and the announced that he will be going to the light heavyweight division because Jones said he is vacating the belt and DC retired.

Anthony Johnson is planning to return for over a year and early he was said to be coming back as a heavyweight fighter and he is massive and how can he reduce that kind of muscle to get back to light heavyweight.

Clearly that kick of the back of the knee is pretty effective on Sean O'Malley in getting those weird wobbly feet, This might be a technique that Marlon Vera is anticipating and after seeing that O'Malley is now getting outbalance he had take that opportunity to strike, Base on fullhdpixel's Analysis with his provided video this had happen on the fight of Johnson VS Cejudo when Johnson kicked the back of Cejudo's knee the same sensation like O'Malley, I don't know if Vera anticipated that same thing might happen to O'Malley or just a coincidence but Sean O'Malley had got injured because of that Peroneal Nerve thing.
