BTW Cris Cyborg is asking for a rematch against Amanda Nunes.
Okay! It seems that things are getting intense. I hope Dana make Cris' request do come true because for sure many fans are waiting for this, besides it surely makes more money for him so why not? Cheesy If ever that match happens and Nunes defeated Cyborg once again then no doubt she is the real GOAT. I'm now excited for the rematch.

By the way, Congrats to Holloway as well for bringing an outstanding performance and it's pretty impressive to see that he dominated the fight against a UFC legend. Furthermore, in this fight we saw what factor lead Holloway into victory — the reach advantage. I mean, it was obvious that Edgar can't get close effectively to Holloway because of the huge gap between their reach. He throw punches and make takedown attempts but only few of it succeed probably because he was threatened by possible counter punches from Holloway. Nevertheless  props to him for the good fight Smiley.

Well even CYBORG herself was shocked with the unanimous decision as she celebrated jumping on the fence!
I dont remember a time we have seen CYBORG take such punishment and it all began with that nasty elbow early in the match

UFC thought "FEENOM" is tough as nails - https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1155329629093150720


Almost a close fight, the nasty cut is a very big plus to spender but much of the fight I think its cybrog that dominates.  Still she did a lot of damage aside to the cut, a rematch I think can be negotiated for this match to happen again Spender has a good chance of winning with little push to hit harder. I'd like a rematch.

Another thing to watch after an event is the post fight press conference...  Especially Dana White.  It gives you a view of where everything's going, what's next and all that.  Smiley

Dana White starts around 38:00.  Enjoy!

Cyborg did dominated the fight. If she was facing other opponents, it would not have gone the distance.
I'm glad she initiated it this time and it's good that she got her confidence back. I hope she fights smarter in their rematch, she underestimated Nunes power in the first fight and paid for it big time.
Amanda Nunes usually does not give time to think and if she still stands in front of her and try to engage when she is throwing punches i do not see a different result this time also as Cyborg usually fights aggressively and when she is under strikes her natural instinct would be to attack and that is what happened last time and got caught clean a couple of times and it is the only compelling fight i want to see in the entire woman's division.

The winners were as many predicted but I didn't expect both fights to go the distance especially the Cyborg-Spencer fight. Even though she lost, kudos still to Spencer for her toughness. She's a future champion if she doesn't suffer major injuries.
The fight card was almost predictable and i did not expect the Cyborg fight to last the entire three rounds either but the problem with Felicia Spencer to be a 145 champion you need Cyborg retiring from UFC and if that happens it is highly likely that the UFC will scrap the entire division as the division is created solely for Cyborg and now the only match that makes sense is the rematch between Cyborg and Nunes.
You made very good predictions by the way. You were right for the 4 winners of 4 fights. The number of rounds were wrong but not the victories.
Good game!


The odds might be fair, however would you bet? Would you risk big to win small? I reckon most bettors would pass on this bet.
I would rather put a bet for under 1.5 rounds for Cristiane Justino v Felicia Spencer fight which would give you a better odd  Wink or you can parlay it with another bet.

My bet prediction for UFC 240

Geoff Neal to win against Niko Price
Hakeem Dawodu to win against Yoshinori Horie
Cristiane Justino v Felicia Spencer Under 1.5 rounds
Max Holloway v Frankie Edgar going for over 2.5 rounds

Not a KO victory, but from what I've seen it was a relatively easy win for Cris Cyborg despite a cut in the first round, so I'm still thinking it was a pretty sure bet. Spencer proved she's talented and has a big chin.

Spencer may have been dominated but she is still capable even if Cyborg won't retire. She lost her composure but that fight was definitely a great lesson for her. She'll bounce back.

^  Here's the ceremonial weigh ins.  I usually watch it more than the official one.  More drama and it gets me more pumped for the event.  Grin

UFC 240:  Weigh Ins

Max Holloway (145) vs. Frankie Edgar (145)
Cris Cyborg (146) vs. Felicia Spencer (145)

Olivier Aubin-Mercier (155.5) vs. Arman Tsarukyan (155)

Also, is Frankie going to win versus another dominant Hawaiian hehehe?

He's def a live dog.  IMHO.  His loss to Ortega took his stock a couple of notches down tho, that's why we're seeing the line we're seeing...  Again, imho.

@nydiacaskey01. That is not really a hard choice because she is the clear favorite. However, would you bet? The odds on Cyborg are very low. You would need to bet $700 to win only $100.

You're a "bbc.reporter" and you are using american odds?  Roll Eyes LOL
Well I don't think -700 or -600 are very low odds for Cris Cyborg despite her last KO against Amanda Nunes.
The level in women MMA is still very heterogeneous, with huge gaps between fighters. And I think there is one between her and Spencer.

I will go for Cyborg on this, she will try to recover on her loss to Nunes last UFC 232 and maybe ask for a rematch. Dana White may approve this fight. Both fighters (Cyborg and Nunes) are crowd drawers. But for now, I think Cyborg is pretty much determined to win on this fight. She is still  one of the feared fighters in her division.
I was expecting that, no doubt that Cyborg would be the crowd's favorite this time knowing that she has the caliber like what Rousey and Nunes have. I'm just hoping that she is really well-prepared and maintained her good shape for this fight because 7 month rest is not a joke.
A seven-month break for a fighter of this rank is really a very long time, after which it will be very difficult to recover for the next fight.  But as practice shows, the fighter will always be able to show the best results in future competitions.

If a player will do more successive training and do it seriously with dedication along with courage, possible he will soon recover all the failures he had with UFC fight. Recovery will took over a year before a player achieve a well trained ability. Skills and other particular factors to consider must be developed before aiming greater results.
