I doubt that. Its going to be a challenging fight for Aldo. 3rd losing streak for him with Petr Yan. He's still young with good MMA records but doesn't fight as he used after defeated by Mcgregor. Its still a good fight to watch and he'd be back on track if he wins this fight. He is really up to have another chance to Mcgregor.

He needs to give all his best in this fight or everything will be ruin. this is the only chance he can prove that he's still got that killer moves that he once has. Things are getting rough for him though but this fight should give him some chance to regain his momentum again and may lead to another rematch with Mcgregor.

Petr Yan is yet to face any top fighters and i am surprised he is fighting for the title because there is no lack of a solid contender for the title and defeating Urijah Faber is not a worthy contender to get a title shot as he was coming back after a gap and i am expecting Jose Aldo as a worthy opponent and looking at the odds i am going with Aldo to win the fight.

Maybe because he is in a streak of 9 win he is about to get a title fight ? Champ is Moraes (Cejudo retired from bantamweight) and Sterling has only 4 win streak.

I am also sure that Jose Aldo will win the battle with Petr Yan, besides having the strength of deadly muay thai. I read the preparatory article
several times by Jose Aldo who was more prepared to face the battle with Petr Yan. Even so Petr Yan's attacking style is also quite frightening,
so Jose Aldo will not easily defeat Petr Yan.

At first I was going to write that Aldos main rival is his age, but checked his profile and he is only 33. Damn I thought he is around 40, by looking on his face. I think this fight wont go to decision and I'm going with Jose.

I'm very interested in Petr Yan vs. José Aldo fight. Based on Russian youtube videos, Yan is called one of the best strikers (but I don't agree) in his division. Aldo is a deadly muay thai. This fight gonna be non stop strikes exchange and would definitely get a fight of the night award, if there were no belt fights in the card.

I'm quite confident Tony wouldn't mind fighting Dustin especially after this fight.

For Conor, he's more interested on who's going to be the bigger draw that will bring in more PPVs. I don't know if Tony still has that appeal after losing badly to Justin. He might need one convincing win before Conor faces him.

You have to see these in aspect of the Lightweight division which is the best and the toughest division in the history of MMA, Tony Ferguson is a top level fighter and one loss against Justin Gaethje will not take the shine away from his performances he was doing for the past decade and he was undefeated for a long period of time and you should remember Tony Ferguson made weight two times in a few weeks which is not a good thing for your body and he is not getting younger.

As for Conor McGregor he can fill any stadium whenever he fights and hence it is not a big deal for him, all he need to do is to create interest and a story line so that causal fans gets glued to the screen and he is more than capable to do that and you need to remember Conor McGregor just two fights in the division with one loss and he is not even considered to be in that division. The best bet is to have some fun fights and make the money he can and then retire for good as he is well settled in life with his other business ventures.

Has anyoone checked odds for July 11th and UFC 251 fight Island Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns?
Temping to make a bet on Kamaru win the fight, as well as Holloway against Volkanovski.
Even champ Khabib Nurmagomedov agrees with me

I am also going with Kamaru Usman to retain his belt but it will be a great battle because of his wrestling credentials and Glibert Burns for his ground and submission skills but i think Kamaru usman is a bit stronger and could out perform him but in the case of Max Holloway not sure how he will rectify the flaws he had in the first fight and Volkanovski is a tough fight and over 2.5 rounds will be a good bet.

It's from one of the Rent Free MMA guys. He makes decent picks. He also had Erosa to win. Lol.

I messed up big time in three of my parlay in this fight card by adding Luis Peña and Sean Woodson in all the parlay and both of them lost by submission. It was a really great fight card with 6 stoppage victories and the main card was incredible and i assume you went for over in Dustin Poirier v Dan Hooker and Mike Perry v Mickey Gall but i was not expecting the Mike Perry fight to go the distance and it was a great pick.

Quote from: ene1980 on June 28, 2020, 12:47:28 PM

this could be the fight of the year.

We had some great fights this year and Dan Hooker was involved in two fights and his fight against Felder was also great and this fight against Poirier is another contender and my other picks are Ferguson and Gaethje, Zhang and Jędrzejczyk.

Some fans are saying that Hooker should be the winner but I barely agree because Porier is always on the offensive mode and got guillotine and arm bar attempts as well. Maybe the opposite happened if Hooker finished him on round 2 Cheesy

.

The first two rounds was madness and the number of strikes landed is really huge and then they could not maintain that kind of crazy pace for the last three rounds and it was incredible to see Dustin Poirier edging in the third round and then the last two rounds belong to Dustin Poirier and i did not expect the fight to be this crazy and after seeing the first two rounds i thought Poirier would loose and this could be the fight of the year.

^ No way Hooker won. He was already half way of giving up towards the end of the fifth imo. Kinda like his bout vs Barboza.

Anyway here's the vid. There's not much info in this one tho.

Rent Free MMA: Poirier vs Hooker Breakdown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amOkmlzhVx8

Nope. Not much advice from me except the over 2.5 rounds. Even Rent Free MMA doesn't have a serious pick except for Poirier ML which the Puertorican already made last week at the good price at 1.59ish. Let's wait for JanpriX's picks.

~snipped~

I did decide to gamble small on Poirier to win at round 4 at 11.41, at round 5 at 14.11 and by decision at 3.64 since he's so confident.

What do you guys think about the over 1.5 at 2.06 for Perry vs Gall? Gall's mostly a wrestler, BBJ guy. So he could prolly hold Perry off for a couple of rounds...

Hey, great win on your betslip. I only got a very short card in the last event. 2 bets only and went 1-1 with it though I bet bigger units on the winning fight. Grin

Hope you followed it and read the rationale of those picks.

So the next event to look out for will be in 2 weeks - UFC 251. Any early favorites on the main card?

Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker was a great fight and the first two rounds Dan Hooker took the fight to Dustin Poirier and the second round was really awesome.

It was a great fight indeed. What a slug fest! The match was so close (very obvious with the score cards lol). Hooker got the first 2 rounds and I thought he will dominate all throughout the fight but the tables have turned. Porier take his revenge especially the 4th and 5th round (IMO). Some fans are saying that Hooker should be the winner but I barely agree because Porier is always on the offensive mode and got guillotine and arm bar attempts as well. Maybe the opposite happened if Hooker finished him on round 2 Cheesy

Poirier vs. hooker was lit!

That round 2 exchanges seems like the entire five rounds to me. Hard to believe both were still standing after trading clean punches throughout that round although Poirier may have been saved by the bell. In the end, it's probably the experience of being an interim champ and having fought the likes of Khabib and Conor that helped him pull a narrow win (even if it's unanimous decision). Congrats to both fighters! What a great treat for fight fans.

Who's next?
Dustin vs. Tony?
Dustin vs. Conor (if he decides to come out of "retirement")?
