Why I dont see discussiin about UFC 300 main event fight? I remember someone here asked for predictions, but I have told that I dont want to do that because I dont want to get disappointed, because we wont get what we want. Now its Pereira vs Hill. Honestly, I am disappointed. I have expected something that wall drop my jaw and I would be speachless. Now it is just a good fight. But honestly not a fight of a round/anniversary level.

I heard there are contenders in UFC 298 who will be fighting on 300. I think it was Rogan who said this a week ago and then some changes will happen after the 298.
Tuporia challenged Conor in his interview and we people are still drawn to what Conor can do in the octagon so once Conor is announced I think this will still make a load of cash for UFC PPV and Dana.

Pereira vs Adesanya would have been more jaw-dropping. What fans can expect more I guess its the golden canvas on UFC 300 and probably the Bitcoin logo on it.  Grin

Exactly what I bet on was the victory of Robert Whittaker, he has been on a very difficult losing streak lately and now he needs to win in order not to cease to be relevant in this weight and to lay claim to the title race, Costa is good, but his peak I think he passed and now he has a name, but it won’t be easy for him.
In the main fight of the evening, I believe that Volkanovski will win, but it will not be easy for him. I wouldn’t bet on this fight, Alexander has a very good opponent

^  Yup...  And knowing what we know now anybody in 145's top 5 who would've faced Topuria that night would've likely lost.  The guy is next level.  I thought Volk would show everybody that he should be the 1.35 favorite but no.  It's the other way around.  Getting a line of 1.50 with Topuria vs anybody in 145 would be value imho.

I dont think that Volks grandpa performance is going to play bad after loss to Topuria. He wasnt boasting or making fun of Topuria, he was having fun. But in general he is getting old. Used to be best p4p (he still is one of the best), but now fighters oustrike him. And he indeed looks like he is getting older or slower.

Now getting into my picks for the event today for the UFC 298

Alexander Volkanovski VS Ilia Topuria
Alexander Volkanovski [1.84]
Robert Whittaker VS Paulo Costa
Robert Whittaker [1.43]
Merab Dvalishvili VS Henry Cejudo
Merab Dvalishvili [1.36]
Well, You got 2 out of the 3 right. Volkanovski got knocked out in round 2 by Topuria and I think his "getting old/granddad" press conference is going to come back to bite him, now that he's lost. It was entertaining while it lasted but the jokes on him.

We betting on Mackenzie tonight?
Didn't bet but watched the fight. She's got the chin to withstand the first round and take the fight to the distance, which was impressive. The commentators were biased towards her but yeah, it didn't look close and she had to win by submission, if she wanted to win.

Nice leans and those are the most likely winners except Topuria, the main event could be close.  But if we look at line value there's an argument to pick Cejudo at 3.30, Neal at 3.05, Costa at 3.05 and Volk at 1.87.  Except for Volk vs Topuria, these are very wide lines and I wouldn't be surprised if the books are off in at least two of them.

Anyway...  The last batch of vids to watch before the event.  Just 11 more hours to gooo!

I also agree with his picks but I don't like the Geoff Neal VS Ian Machado Garry fight actually I am not well-versed with these two fighters so I will be skipping that fight but for sure the Main Event is also unpredictable but many still lean on with the Champion as there is no guarantee win for this event, for sure we can all agree that it is OK if we keep the bet for the underdog as Ilia Topuria can and the fight this is going to be very close fight that is for sure,



Now getting into my picks for the event today for the UFC 298

Alexander Volkanovski VS Ilia Topuria

Alexander Volkanovski [1.84] - For me even though Ilia Topuria looks incredibly strong for sure this fight is one close fight and Volk will surely struggle against him, but for sure the champion knows what he is doing and so for me even if Alexander Volkanovski has some errors when it comes with the Islam Makhachev fight I think he needs to focus in this one as Ilia Topuria is a skilled fighter but for me my pick is Alexander Volkanovski.

Robert Whittaker VS Paulo Costa

Robert Whittaker [1.43] - For this one, Robert Whittaker is a calculating fighter so for sure he can win this with the stand-up or he can even go into the ground but the ground game is unlikely as Paulo Costa has a decent takedown defense so for this it may stay as a standing match-up but as Robert Whittaker could surely dodge Paulo Costa's attacks this is fairly a good match for him.

Merab Dvalishvili VS Henry Cejudo

Merab Dvalishvili [1.36] - Merab Dvalishvili for sure has a much more gas tank than Henry Cejudo but for sure Cejudo is still tough for sure as he withstands Aljamain Sterling but of course, Merab Dvalishvili is tougher than sterling as for sure Merab Dvalishvili doesn't even need the ground game as he can defeat Henry Cejudo in the stand-up and as a younger fighter so for this game, my pick is Merab Dvalishvili to win.

I also think that he is making a fool out of everyone. Because he knows that Dana White still thinks she is very important for generating money in the UFC. And he also needs attention for people to get a look at him whiskey business. He also probably has other business. So he does need attention. And of course, he is also into movies now. I don't see him being a successful actor. Because in general people do not find so much success in multiple careers.
 

I think Conor is a narcissist. He wanted people's attention and he seemed to like the atmosphere of battle. I'm not saying Conor is a real fighter because we know Conor is only after money and fame. But the problem is Dana White still thinks Conor can make him money. So he won't mind anything Conor does.

I don't think someone like Conor will get much success in films. People like Conor already have characteristics and he can only act with his characteristics. I can't imagine Conor playing a good guy or a family man. Conor can only act as a criminal boss or gang of thugs in the action genre.

Some fights seem to me to have had a very obvious result, perhaps even looking at the value of the odds I would realize this. for example, Rinya Nakamura's fight against Carlos Vera. the difference between these two fighters in terms of odds value is very large, Rinya has 1.10 odds while Carlos Vera has 9.00, the chances of Carlos Vera coming out of this fight with victory are very low, without me wanting to exaggerate, perhaps Carlos Vera would only win if rinya got sick during it. Rinya Nakamura has 8 consecutive victories, while Carlos Vera, who is 36 years old and has a 10-year professional career, has had 14 fights, winning 11 fights and losing 3 fights. If the odds were higher I would bet on Rinya to win this fight, but with this very low odds I can't even add it to the multibet bet

Now Amanda Lemos' fight against Mackenzie Dern will be unpredictable, although Amanda Lemos is being seen as the favorite to win this fight. Amanda Lemos lost to Weili Zhang, while Mackenzie Dern lost to Jéssica Andrade. which shows that Amanda Lemos and Mackenzie Dern come from Dorratas and in a way they are not very stable in the sense of being unstable fighters and in this fight I see Amanda Lemos being a little more stable in relation to Mackenzie Dern. That's why if I were to place a bet on this fight, I would bet on Amanda Lemos to win, the odds for her to win are 1.79, in fights like this where they are expected to be balanced fights in which either fighter has the same chances to win, it becomes very risky to bet on any fighter

Anyway, maybe I am talking a little too soon. Maybe he will be able to do well and forget more acting gigs. But I don't think he's going to be as successful as he was with his fighting in the UFC in his acting career.

I really think you are just speculating about Conor McGregor and how he does things, I think that even if he returned to the UFC he would not amount to anything or he would not be doing great for me he is already past his prime he just needs to accept the fact that he can not do it anymore, and he should have pursue his acting career as I think he will be big in the villainous roles for me he really fits the bill in those roles as he is natural in acting those roles, and stop his dream that he can return and become champion in the UFC because I think that is not going to happen after the Chandler fight he should quit immediately because if he continues and fight opponent that is on a different level than his, his charisma might get depleted just like what happen with Colby Covington because I think after that Leon Edwards fight his credibility and his charisma surely depleted when he lost.



Now UFC 298 sure will be an exciting event to watch and judging with the cards now

Alexander Volkanovski VS Ilia Topuria

Right now the odds are inlay for Volkanovski and it was 1.82 for Volk and 2.00 for Topuria still close odds for both fighters but right now this is really interesting as Volkanovski has now 2 losses against Islam Makhachev and ever since then Volkanovski might have an issue with his drinking and the way he thinks when making a decision I think that is a big aspect in why he losses against Makhachev, while Ilia Topuria got some great skills and is undefeated right now this is a big fight for him as Volkanovski has proven that he is a better fighter in this division so for sure this is going to be a hard fight for Topuria while both fighters are technical this will be a fight if a certain fighter made a mistake it is his lost, for this fight I am siding with the younger and the underdog Ilia Toporia.

Robert Whittaker VS Paulo Costa

For this fight Whittaker still has the edge on the odds, 1.41 for Whittaker and 2.95 for Costa, it is clear that Paulo Costa has more of an edge in the strength department but we can not say if with this advantage he is clearly going to win this as Robert Whittaker can up his strike output and could win this by decision as Robert Whittaker has a great insight with his striking technicality while I think Whittaker will be having a hard time in taking Costa to the ground but for me Robert Whittaker will win this by decision.

Geoff Neal VS Ian Machado Garry

In this fight, Ian Machado Garry had some edge with the odds, right now 2.90 for Neal and 1.42 for Garry, well for this fight even though I really don't like Ian Machado Garry because of his previous statements I really think he got a cleaner striking than Geoff Neal has but for sure if Geoff Neal could possibly get Garry into the ground but Ian Machado Garry has a god takedown defense, so my pick is Ian Machado Garry.

Merab Dvalishvili VS Henry Cejudo

For this fight, Dvalishvili has gained more popularity and odds than Cejudo for this fight there are many saying that Mebab has better wrestling and has a greater gas tank than Cejudo, for sure this is one of the most interesting match-ups and I am really curious about what may happen with this one, for me I really think that Henry Cejudo should have stayed retired and don't need to return to the UFC, but for this a much younger version of Cejudo, but for me I think that Merab Dvalishvili can win this even though the fight is on standing so my pick will be Merab Dvalishvili gaining a win against Cejudo.

But this is not just about money but also about his reputation, he considers himself to have lost his reputation since his last very humiliating defeat and of course he has the ambition to be able to fight again and regain his big name as great fighter.
If we talk about money, it is clear that Conor is former fighter who has lot of money and he really has a big and well-developed business, of course money is no longer something that Conor is chasing.
There are other goals in mind and Dana will use all of this to make money, this is an industry and is used for the common good but the most important thing for Dana is how she can take advantage of the conditions to be able to produce something big.

If I look at how Conor prepares himself, I see that Conor really has hidden strength to be able to win every fight.
He is not the type of fighter who gives up easily and of course having big ambition can provide opportunities for success for Conor.

Speaking about Conor McGregor, with the amount of money he already has, and the amount of businesses and opportunities to earn outside UFC he has, I find it hard to understand his motivation to continue participating in fights. Sometimes I just think he is trolling Dana and fooling everyone around with his return. If he wants people attention and fame, he already has it and now can get even more through movies. If he likes to fight, then he has enough money to pay for sparring partners (that would not counter his strikes and only defend) and change them every day.

^  Maybe he's just not all there anymore.  Lolol.  But seriously tho, he prolly still has a love for 'the game' but the game has moved way past him.  His skill set now just isn't good enough anymore.  And at his age, I don't think he could catch up with the guys at the highest level.  He'd still be a good draw for mid tier matches tho.  But putting him as a main event in a PPV card would be a joke.

Another topic of discussion. Who do you think is most likely to lose their belt soon? For me personally, I think it's Sean O'Malley and DDP. I can see Sean losing to at least 2-3 fighters in his division and highly likely that Izzy will beat DDP. Will just have to wait and see.

If you look at their track record and how they got the belt, I think I agree with you. Sean got the belt after beating Aljo but I see it not being a convincing win even if it was a knockout win. And for DDP I also saw him win the belt by split decision, if my memory serves me correctly. DDP also seemed to have difficulty beating Sean several times. I think if it was a rematch then chances are Sean would beat DDP too. For the other champions, I think there is still nothing that can threaten their position at the moment.

It is confirmed now that the main event for UFC 300 will be revealed during the post-fight press conference of the UFC 298. Yeah, I think so too, that they haven't had confirmations in the backroom for who will be fighting. We'll find it out soon enough though.
Wasn't it said that Conor VS Chendler would be the main event of UFC 300 or did I really read something wrong back then? Cheesy

Even if McGregor is able to fight, he's not really a draw of high magnitude anymore.  The guy is washed as seen twice vs Poirier.  There's just nothing he can do...  He is past his prime.  :/

What the UFC could do is pay Jon Jones a bunch of money to return earlier than intended to fight Tom Aspinall.  That would be a good match up.  They should just forget Miocic and pay him a bunch of money too, to stfu.  Lol.  No one really wants to watch him anyway.

McGregor is washed, finished. As I understood, he wants to gain fame again and at the same time he has new ambitions but you know, coke makes you too confident in yourself and that's where McGregor makes a mistake, he can't become a champion in a new division at this age, especially since he wasn't training and was snorting bunch of coke lines. Dana will use him to make money, he is super happy when he sees Conor. I laugh all the time when I see Dana's face when Conor is there.

^ It is a bit concerning that Dana White seemingly has no idea what UFC 300 is going to do for a main event and everyone keeps asking him about it. His behavior leaving a podcast yesterday after his intro sort of displayed his frustration. Everyone wants the biggest UFC event of all time and Dana doesn’t even know if Conor will be able to fight by then or not.

I disagree.  I believe that Conor McGregor is the biggest draw in MMA still to this day and I don't think that second place is even close.  Sure, he may be washed, but he's still the best entertainment in the sport along with being the most widely known. 

Dana saying that UFC 298/299/300 are going to be the best trilogy in UFC history is seemingly laughable at this point.  It's possible he's just keeping his cards close to his vest, but from what I've seen from Dana over the last couple weeks, it seems like he has no idea who is going to headline UFC 300 or even what good fights will be happening.  He's supposed to make an announcement today.  We'll see...

Somehow I dont believe fighters are really that happy to get BMF belt instead of division champions belt Cheesy As I doubt it has any value outside UFC. I even think that other fighters might laugh at BMF holder. Like he isnt able to get a real belt, and UFC game him this Cheesy Also there are no much competition to get this belt. It is like beat one guy and get a belt. Also look at Gaethje face when he got it. Not so happy at all. As to collecting belts, I believe every fighter has a huge stand of trophies that they get during their career. One more or one less reward it does not matter if it isnt a champions belt/trophy.

For sure the BMF Belt is just a mere belt that does not amount to anything at all, and I truly agree with that, but why do many fighters still want the possibility of getting their hand on that belt, that amounts to anything at all, well I really don't like the Belt at all but if there would be something that could replace the BMF Belt I think it is OK if they abolish it, and Dana White can not really put the owner of the belt one into fighting a fighter that wants that belt or having that fighter fight multiple times for the BMF belt.

It is a bit concerning that many fans don't have any interest anymore with the UFC 300 event anymore because of this kind of approach Dana White is taking, well it is better to watch UFC 299 than the 300, as people are blind in not seeing the next fight Dana White should just said it than keeping it a mystery for fans to wonder is not the best solution in making this event more great as it is just making people more not interested towards it.


Another topic of discussion. Who do you think is most likely to lose their belt soon? For me personally, I think it's Sean O'Malley and DDP. I can see Sean losing to at least 2-3 fighters in his division and highly likely that Izzy will beat DDP. Will just have to wait and see.

For me, I really think Volk will lose to Ilia Topuria after watching several fights for both Volk and Topuria I have a conclusion that Topuria is a dangerous fighter for Volkanovski, another one is Sean O'Malley I think Marlon Vera can possibly have some ace on his sleeve for sure Sean O' Malley might have the reach advantage but Vera has the technicality in making this happen, Leon Edwards, I guess it could be the end for Edwards but maybe, and don't forget the women division as Raquel Pennington could be another one that amount to getting lost when he fight again.
