More and more of them in every event these days, it normally just one match in the past years. I'm uninterested to bet with them unless they have proven to be masculine like Nunes or that Chinese Chang.

In this card there is Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov is a good stylistic match up and i do not see Volkov winning this fight because he always have trouble against fighters who are good at wrestling and Curtis Blaydes is an elite level wrestler and he have knockout power in his hands and a great chin.

Excessive in everything is not good all the time Grin

. He is too tall IMO which makes him move slower thus having slower reflexes as well. With this height disadvantage (how ironic lol), he is wretched from take down and dirty boxing attempts of his opponents. That's why I'm also in favor of Blaydes.

Nunes created a legendary career when she worked on her cardio and in her early days she used to gas out after the second round and when she changed that she was a completely different fighter.

Clay Guida is still alive. HE isn't just always the wild card but also the wildest fighter. Strong chin but this guy doesn't seem to look at his opponent when fighting. I've seen him since 2008 if I remember, rarely win but shows an entertaining fight.

Clay Guida is a brawler and he has a good chin but age is slowing him down and if he is against a good striker his chin might give away because of the amount of damage he took in his career.

Now that this event is over we can move on to Jun 20th UFC on ESPN: Blaydes vs. Volkov

Another girls out night Grin

4/12 fights are women.

Interested to see Clay Guida vs Bobby Green fight. Clay has been in UFC and MMA for such a long time, so I thought he had already retired. Checked his profile, and he is only 38 years old. There is so much more time for him to fight Cheesy

Maybe he is so called "gate keeper" of his division? Take a look on his record, win/lose/win/lose/win/etc. He seems like a fighter to fill the card. And look looks interesting to spectators. He is like a wild man from the cave. I think these are the reasons why Dana keep him.

Clay Guida is always a wild card and he could have retired but he is always a tough fight for anyone and he has wins over some of the top fighters in the past including Josh Thomson, Nate Diaz, Rafael dos Anjos, Takanori Gomi and Anthony Pettis in their prime and he never goes out without a fight and so is the reason he is still fighting in the UFC as Dana White always like fighters who always bring the fight rather than having a boring fight.

Well it doesn't sound very good for him either. It's only an UFC on ESPN, and he's not even on the main card. It's probably his last fights IMHO.

Yup. Pretty happy with winning something from the event at least. The next one looks like it's kinda hard to make picks too. I know I like that Pennington line at 1.73 at first glimpse tho.

Apart from the Cynthia Calvillo fight the rest of the fights were really easy to predict and i made a good parlay and recovered some of the losses i made in the past Cheesy

. I wish the rest of the fight card is like this so that anyone waging a bet could make some good amount and the next fight card have some good fights to wage a bet especially in the preliminary card and the Austin card is another easy card.

^ ^ Wups... Just heard about the bad weight cut too. And you should also know that Calvillo has moved up from women's SW to FW. So she could be a tad stronger for this match. Kinda like when Pettis moved up to WW and KO'd Thompson.

Oh and made a bet on 'fight won't go the distance' for Robertson vs Vettori at 2.45. Those two hate each other.

Well, Vettori vs. Robertson didn't go the distance Grin

Although Calvillo dominated Eye, I wasn't expecting the fight to go to a decision. I thought it's going to be an early finish (submission) too.

Here are the rest of the results:

Code:

Cynthia Calvillo def. Jessica Eye via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) 
Marvin Vettori def. Karl Roberson via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 1, 4:17 
Charles Rosa def. Kevin Aguilar via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) 
Andre Fili def. Charles Jourdain via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) 
Jordan Espinosa def. Mark De La Rosa via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26) 
Mariya Agapova def. Hannah Cifers via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 1, 2:42

 
Merab Dvalishvili def. Gustavo Lopez via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-25) 
Julia Avila def. Gina Mazany via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 0:22 
Tyson Nam def. Zarrukh Adashev via knockout (punch) – Round 1, 0:32 
Christian Aguilera def. Anthony Ivy via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 0:59

Now that this event is over we can move on to Jun 20th UFC on ESPN: Blaydes vs. Volkov
Great main event and classical fight American against Russian.
Blades have 3 wins in his previous fights, only one lost fight in last 10 fights, and he is favorite if we look at bookies odds.
Volkov has one lost fight in 8 previous fights, but last fight was back in 2019 when he won against Greg Hardy.

but I am excited and waiting for June 20th and heavyweight fight main event Blades vs. Volkov!

Too bad 1/2 of the main and co-main event both missed weight. Nobody probably cares too much about this card but it's still not good for UFC's image. Also a bad timing.

Anyone who placed their bet on Cynthia Calvillo is most likely to win as Jessica Eye really struggled to make weight and even said "I’m done guys. I don’t think I can stand". I don't think she'll have enough time to recover and be 100% ready for the fight.

New fights announced for UFC on June 27th
Dustin Poirier vs. Dan Hooker as main event, and whole card is looking very good.
This should not be missed event Wink

Looking at early betting odds, Poirier is heavy favorite, but I am not sure he will win so easy.

I don't know, I've never been there. But AFAIK those countries and their leaders don't like to be seen as too permissive and miscreant. So for public shows they are not as lenient as they can be for private affairs. I do think sponsors and advertisements for alcoholic beverages will be banned for example.

To all my fellow friends, you can visit UAE and Bahrain and if you have money then you can live like a king as you get everything, including drinks and there are ladies clubs and bars and you can get a good lap dance and you can pick anyone you want and have fun and that is the freedom you get in two countries i mentioned, yes they follow the same religion but they have a liberal out take on things.

If a country is open for tourism you have to expect that alcohol and other fantasies are readily available. I do not want to be blunt but that is the reality of things and these are not hear say but what i have experienced. The only restriction comes during Ramadan and you have to respect that and from my experience my Arab friends would party at night and they would fast during day time Grin

.

I am not telling that everyone is like my friends but there are many Arab friends who are liberal.

Very futuristic arena indeed... but since it's in a muslim country I'm not sure Dana White will be able to do whatever he wants.
For example I'm not sure the usual outfits of female fighters will be allowed, even more for the ring girls... Undecided

You have no idea what is going on in UAE, it is not that strict like the rest of the Muslim countries. It is a paradise if you have money and you will get anything and there is no restrictions for Women. You can get a lap dance in dance bars with semi nude girls and you think the fighters are not able to wear their outfits Cheesy

Here's a couple of tapes to watch before taking some action for the main event.

Between Eye and Calvillo, I'm leaning Calvillo. She's 1.89 at FJ.

I think Eye is just gonna have a hard time going after the more dynamic Carvillo imho.

Free Fight: Calvillo vs Casey

Free Fight: Eye vs Clark

Edit: And the upstart Adashev seems to be a decent bet at 2.02 vs a declining Tyson Nam.
