^ I'll copy that to the main page ok? Since you already did it and all.

Anyway... It's the big one for the MW championship guys. I kinda fear for Adesanya. Romero is a beeeast and shouldn't be underestimated.

Here are some vids for the event.

On March 8 there will be two title fights: Israel Adesanya vs Yoel Romero and Zhang Weili vs. Joanna Jędrzejczyk.
My predictions are - easy win for Adesanya, as he simple wants to test himself against a wrestler. And Weili would win Jędrzejczyk by decision (even though she wins most of her fights by TKO)

This might be perfect scam for the next ICO season. A famous worldwide sports franchise partnering with a blockchain token project for pumping and dumping hehehehe.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has partnered with Dapper Labs, a company that builds digital collectibles on the blockchain to help bring the technology to the sport.

Dapper Labs is most famous for building CryptoKitties, a blockchain game where you trade digital cats. In 2017, the game was so popular it stalled the Ethereum blockchain for days.

UFC is known for mixing up fighting styles into one unique form of fighting that includes boxing, grappling and submissions. Its biggest fighter is, of course, Conor McGregor, the Irish fighter known for winning two world titles and causing mayhem in New York.

According to a statement, the UFC and Dapper Labs will create digital collectibles under the UFC brand. These will be tradeable on the Dapper Labs Flow blockchain platform, and allow fans to buy, sell and trade assets associated with the sport.

UFC FN 169 Free Fight: Benavidez vs Formiga 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kki82nFydQY

That Cut on Benavidez is serious and the commentator explains that by wiping the blood out of it would be crucial for the fight and might cause your opponent to have an opportunity to take down, But Joseph Benavidez had made a comeback and turn the tide over while taking Formiga down with a one-two combination after the kick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7Qp5ff0QYI

Figueiredo here, in my opinion, is lucky here to perform a guillotine on Deiveson and take the win.

I still think that Joseph Benavidez had a huge probability of winning here if not for his old age this can be a 100% win for him but judging how he fights, for Figueiredo he only got 80% in winning this.

I only know Benavidez on this card. I'm not exactly sure why he is fighting. He should have retired together with his team buddies Mendez and Faber. He ain't getting that belt even if Mighty Mouse left the UFC.

I only know Benevidez Aswell that is why I am looking forward in his fight, but after seeing his opponent maybe he got a chance against Benevidez but the power is not an issue here but Benevidez Age, Joseph Benavidez debut in WEC back at 2008 so apparently I could not say if there will be a downfall of power or speed, But I think his fight with Pettis he is a little bit slower back then, But even though he has an age issue some veterans use their experience and technique and that will surely take an advantage in the ring I think that Benevidez can get a win here and even a TKO if he could sail this fight easily.

Felicia Spencer Vs Zarah Fairn Dos Santos

I think that Felicia Spencer could take this win for herself as Fairn Dos Santos fight against Anderson out grappled her by the Australian Kickboxer and was submitted by a triangle choke and Zarah Fairn Dos Santos is not that powerful of a striker and a Striker by trade that is why I think that Felicia Spencer could win this fight because a hugely powerful Cyborg could beat her I think it is fair enough to say that she could really win agaisnt Dos Santos.

^ The last of the filler events before the next big one: Adesanya vs Romero. I've talked to some friends about it and they seem pretty confident that 'Adesanya got this'. But I don't know... Romero's a beast.

I fear for Adesanya tbh.

@tokeweed Adesanya vs Romero will be a very interesting clash as Adesanya himself challenged Romero despite the latter reputation, and I feel that he’s made a grave error and he’ll definitely be punished by Romero. It’s pertinent to note that Romero May have lost few matches, but Adesanya plans to knock him out and that hasn’t happened since 2011 hence I feel that Romero has a better chance to win this match.

Anyway both fighters are OK with the results I guess and this picture represents that they are in good terms

I am yet to watch the fight but it looks like it was a very close fight Paul Felder hinted at retirement after the fight as he is having a career as a commentator and he might be happy with his career rather than fighting for a living.

It was really a close fight indeed, both fighters have definitely given their all, but in my opinion, Dan Hooker did score a lot because of his reach advantage, that is why it ended as a decision in favor of him, And in Paul Felder's case he is really retiring but I don't know that he is pursuing in becoming a commentator,

I think he would do just fine and as you have said he will be satisfied and happy with that career and I am really happy for him.

Wilder vs Fury stole all the audience from UFC FN Felder vs Hooker Cheesy

Wilder and Fury stole the show as there was UFC and Bellator events today but i want to know how much tickets they were able to sell is to be seen, i have no idea why they wanted to conduct an event on the same day when they could make a better business if they conduct these events one at a time rather than competing against them. I watched the Wilder and Fury fight and went to bed and i am yet to watch these fights.

Dan Hooker VS Paul Felder

I thought that Hooker can TKO Felder on these fight but Paul Felder just gives his all the whole fight, Well I think that Dan Hooker had the advantage with the reach and he keeps on hitting Felder with some jabs and kicks but certainly, Felder had a punch on the jaw of Hooker that tremendously change Hookers tactics in making different approach, Well, he certainly can not finish the fight with a KO or TKO but I guess the two really did a great job in giving their all, but in my opinion, I am not satisfied with it,

Nothing much can be said about this event. Good show for decent viewers/fans, but kinda boring for those who's been watching fights for years. Even though there were KO's that evening, none of the fight got "fight of the night" reward.

It's not as fun to watch without Romero in person but it's entertaining enough.

And Adesanya made a good point. He was saying that him being a kickboxer, everybody expected him to be taken down wrestle f** ked.. So he worked hard on that part of his game and closed that hole.

And on with the Corey Anderson and Jan Blachowicz fight I am totally shocked finding the result just now, but I haven't watched the full replay of the fight just yet and maybe later, I thought that Corey Anderson would really lose because Jan Blachowicz even though he is not a pushover and can surely show some move and power I never thought that he would rise to the ring and claim the victory I think I will just look on the video and see for myself on how did Blachowic have done it.

The only doubt i had is with the age of Jan Blachowicz and his only knockout in the UFC was against Luke Rockhold who had a weak chin after Michael Bisping exposed his chin and Jan Blachowicz usually does not do well against fighters who put pressure but since this was a rematch Jan Blachowicz knew he would expose his chin and i am sure he drilled the knockout combination many times and Corey Anderson looked like he was slow, he threw a high kick that missed by a long mile and then he was not the same fighter, i am sure he strained something and so is the reason he was slow and got knocked out after that.

Well, after watching the fight Blachowicz, in my opinion, doesn't expect that right uppercut to score a definite knockout, I see Corey Anderson isn't his self in the ring but Blachowicz kept his composure up until the right time he can land a nice counter to the body and head Anderson just keeps on moving forward for him to eat Blachowicz right hook counter straight to the canvas and that is nicely done by Jan Blachowicz.

Then after the fight, he then calls on Jon Jones who is watching but I don't think Blanchowicz is good enough to challenge Jon Jones but Jones just welcomes Blachowicz to bring it on, but let's just see what may happen.

And by this, I think we need to move on to the next fight that will be on Feb 22, and that is between Paul Felder vs. Dan Hooker.

I am picking Corey Anderson to win via Decisions 2.50 but Jan Blachowicz is not easy to finish but this fight is a tough one for Blachowicz because Corey Anderson is likely to stop your momentum and rhythm with takedowns and strikes.

This is what i was expecting after watching their first fight but it was completely the opposite and Jan Błachowicz slept Corey Anderson with a perfectly timed left hook in the very first round and Jan Błachowicz immediately called out Jon Jones who is ring side and we might see Jon Jones defending his title against Jan Błachowicz.
