Meh...  I am 3 - 2 for the event.  I would've just broken even if I didn't put that last minute action on Lyman Good.  Oh well.  On to the next.  Poirier vs Hooker should be good.

Edit:  Burgos' loss was his own fault for letting himself get hit.  IMHO.  It could've been avoided.
The fight between Shane Burgos and Josh Emmett were really close and that was the one fight i did not wage a bet as i knew it will be really close and the strikes landed were almost similar but Josh Emmett was able to take him down once and the two knockdowns that changed the fight.

Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker fight card has some good fights and looking forward for the weekend and i am expecting Poirier to return back to the win column.

The fighters that impressed me in this fight card was Justin Jaynes, Gillian Robertson, Marc-André Barriault and Jim Miller actually surprised me.

Anyone watched the Max Rohskopf fight where the corner was not calling off the fight even though he said he do not want to continue which was really brutal on the corners part as he was in the fight at a short notice and he was not able to cope up with the fight and he said he wanted to quit but the corner was not willing to call off the fight and i am sure the commission will take some action against the corner for that.

Blaydes was dominating fighter in this main event and won on points against Volkov, but it was not as easy to do it.
He had 14 takedowns and 28 legs strikes, and was all over Volkov.
Now he wants to fight for title with winner of Miocic vs. Cormier fight.

We all know that Ngannou moat probably be the next in line after the next Miocic vs Cormier fight. Besides, I don't think Dana will not let that happen so easily after calling Blaydes "stupid". Dana is so disappointed on what performance he saw compared to the talksh*t he did. See full article

Nevertheless, it was a clean and dominating win for Razor. However, some people bash him because they don't like the match as a whole (me too Grin). But sell, that's how wrestling goes so everyone should understand that.

Best fight of the night was Josh Emmett vs. Shane Burgos, and both of them won extra $50,000.
Josh Emmett won in all rounds, and this fight may even be best fight of the year so far.
Amazing performance from both fighters.
I also saw Dana White asking for people to comment on social media and help him with bonuses.

Had some good fights in the card and majority of them went the decision. Josh Emmett and Shane Burgos was a really great fight and i was betting for Burgos to win the fight and it was a really close fight and a bit of disappointment with that but it was a great fight.

I wanted Clay Guida to win the fight and it was competitive and it went the distance as expected but Guida still could not pull the victory.

Watching UFC prelims and main card now.
Still can't get used to small venue, no crowd thing, and that every voice is heard so clearly.
Canadians have good score so far Smiley but I am waiting for main event

In any case, also wait for the return of Anthony Johnson, another light heavyweight fighter that might return as a heavyweight.
I am waiting to see the return of Anthony Johnson who is probably one of the scariest strikers with knockout power and once he returns in the heavyweight division the interesting fight would be against Francis Ngannou and it will be the biggest fight in heavyweight history as both like to stand and bang.
Oh really, Rumble is coming back?! That was nice Shocked. He is one of my favorite LHW fighters way back then including Rampage and Machida. And I am excited with with this one because I know that he is very entertaining to watch.

Anyway, are you sure that he might return as a heavyweight? I don't think so because according to Dana, his possible opponents would be Rakic or Oezdemir. It means that he will be in the LHW division. Article

Odds going down hard for Curtis Blaydes win against Alexander Volkov for next UFC event happening tommorow.
Sure Blades may have advantage, but I will not bet that he will win this easy.

Jon Jones wanted to go to heavyweight also, however, Dana did not want to pay Jon the $15 million that Jon was asking to fight Francis Ngannou.

In any case, also wait for the return of Anthony Johnson, another light heavyweight fighter that might return as a heavyweight.

Jon Jones has some unfinished business in the light heavyweight division as his last two fights was not convincing and he needs to rematch and then move on to the heavyweight division when the audience is allowed in the arena, until then the UFC will not be paying huge numbers.

According to sportsbet.io odds, Volkov has no chances agains Blaydes and bookies already buried him.
1,24 Blades : 3.70 Volkov Cheesy

I think this would be a victory by TKO, even though Blaydes is a wrestler.
Curtis Blaydes is a heavy favorite because of his wrestling credentials and his striking power and as one of the member said above Volkov usually struggle against elite level grapplers and that is the reason the bookies are burying him and giving him any chance to win the fight.

But Volkov trains bjj. He defended himself well agains Verdum, that is why I dont think Blaydes wrestling will work well. Blaydes is quite slow in parter (gnp), he changes positions rarely. That is why I think the fight will end in stance TKO by Blaydes (stance - this is probably the correct word. sorry for my english)

UFC just announced fight card for Fight Island 3 in AbuDhabi for July 25, and it is full and packed.

Signed and confirmed:
RobWhittaker vs DarrenTill
FabricioWerdum vs Gustafsson
Shogun vs Nogueira
Wood vs Nurmagomedov (Khabibs brother)

and more...
https://twitter.com/UFCEurope/status/1273682971422310404

I am so exited to watch this event!  Shocked

Leaning on Till and Werdum at first glance.  I think Till will knock Whittaker out on the counter.

Anyway..  Already got some action on Lauren Murphy ML 2.01, Guida ML 2.95, the under for Roberts vs Miller at 1.98 and Burgos ML at 1.70 for the event this weekend.  Let's see how it goes.  All props go to the Free Rent MMA boys.  Smiley

Edit:  Added the lines.  All from FJ.

8 cm is not a huge difference  Grin He is even 2kg heavier - does is makes him slower also ?  Grin Just kidding.
If he is not really comfortable to 114 kg. as his weight then I can say yes. Fighters cannot feel that 2 kg. in the early rounds but they might suffer when the late rounds come. Such factor could lead to decrease in cardio, lowered guards and decrease in power Wink.



Have you already heard that Gustaffsson will now climb up to HW division? And his first opponent would be the former HW champion Fabricion Erdum, pretty interesting isn't it? Article

I hope this news encourages Bones to do the same thing for real.

FabricioWerdum vs Gustafsson
Shogun vs Nogueira
Forget about the rest of fight cards, I can say that I'm already full after watching these two. Just kidding Grin. I guess I'm just more excited to watch Mauler's debut as well as the two legandary HW. Nevertheless, what an interesting line up!





Check this out guys! Jones, Gracie, Nunes and  Liddell as Dana's version of Mt. Rushmore. Agree or diagree? Well, for me they're all good but it would be nice if GSP replace Amanda Grin. Your thoughts?

UFC is putting great match ups one after another but Shogun and Nogueira i did not expect that fight, to be frank i am really surprised Nogueira is not retired as i thought both the Nogueira brothers are retired from the sport.  Gustafsson returning to heavyweight is interesting and i am waiting for Antony Johnson to return to heavyweight and if that happens then the heavyweight division would be interesting with a mix of interesting fights.

We have back to back fight cards and the main event on the next three fight cards are easy to predict. Curtis Blaydes, Dustin Poirier and Kamaru Usman.
