They would better fight for a retirement belt then Dunno how this fight gonna prove that Bones is GOAT and add something to his legacy, but when you are (was) number 1 p4p, beating retired fireman does not give you any point of cool. Winning a guy who hasnt fought almost for 1.5 year, when you are supposed to be best UFC fighter, imho this is not the best way to end career or claim to be someone special.

Bones got injured and gonna return in 8 months (wiki says that). Stepe gonna be almost 42 that time. Dunno what should I expect from that fight. I would better watch Aspinal making his first belt defence against .

I was wrong.  Jones vs Miocic is still happening after Dana White announced it in the post fight press conference.  But it's funny because that would mean the interim belt doesn't mean anything and all they did at 295 was all for show.

But then again it's good that the UFC is still showing Miocic some respect and giving him his last title shot before retiring.  And it's gonna be a good pay day for him too. 

Anyway, here's jeremypwr's Multi Master.  Leeezz gooo!

UFC Fight Night 232:  Multi Master Challenge
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-fight-night-232-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5473979

Elbows and hammers were not that made main damage. Just rewind few second back. Jiri was concentrated during whole fight, he was active and aggressive. But before that TKO, he accelerated with both hands down (curious why he even do that? was he angry because Pereira kept distance and threw lots of low or calf kicks and pissed Jiri?), and was quickly punished for that. That is what is called skill. Pereira saw it and quickly unloaded hooks from both hands. Due to close distance, they did not KO Jiri immediately. He was already dazed after that, and those elbows and hammers just increased his brain lag The body acted automatically, but that was sort of a standing knockdown.

For sure they will see each other again inside the Octagon but I think both doesn't really want that to happen now, and there may be hostility going on but I think it is because of Alex Pereira's bad translator, and because Pereira isn't speaking English doesn't mean that the translator could make something up, it was a misunderstanding now Israel Adesanya was posting something about it and he is a warrior for accepting what the translator has said, and not Alex Pereira's word I think you need to watch this video that I have seen that the translator has ruined what Alex Pereira's beautiful message that he had to Israel Adesanya,

I made a really bad decision on this I underestimated Jessica Andrade, for sure, and don't give her credit for her striking but only her power, and Mckenzie Dern that time after she failed miserably on her takedown attempts her sloppy striking became, even more, sloppier when she feels tense and scared from Andrade, she knows that she will be getting it, and there is no way for her to get this win, that is why we have seen her panicking so much against Jessica Andrade, 


Seeing that fight Tom Aspinall might be better than Jon Jones, and if they fight whenever Jon Jones is ready I wish that Tom Aspinall will be an underdog because I would also love to bet on the underdog, I know that Jon Jones will be very popular and there will be many that want him to win this so for sure Tom Aspinall will be the underdog on that fight,

We all know that. I like Stipe, but he's effectively retired and just coming back for his goodbye big-money fight. Jones wants to fight him also for the money and to seal his legacy as the best pound-for-pound fighter, but speaking about sport challenge - Aspinall is much more dangerous.
It would be a shame if Jones Vs Aspinall never happens, there aren't many heavyweights that would be good match for Tom, maybe Almeida could cause him some trouble with his jiu-jitsu but other than that, there's nobody on a similar level.


Yeah, but those kind of elbows/hammers are not usually very powerful and have no KO power. Jiri did fall on his back but was not out and had his hands up, all he needed to do is to hug Alex or grab his head to buy himself enough time to recover. But if Prochazka himself agrees with the decision, then I'm happy to accept it.

Of course Pereira wasnt serious when he called Izzy. He was just taunting, or preparing soil for a future fight. This does not mean they must have a rematch immediately, because Pereira was the one to suggest Izzy to take a pause and have a rest. Maybe Pereira see a perfect challenger in Izzy, maybe it is interesting for him to fight Izzy. Maybe Izzy or better say his fame, is a perfect way to get a juicy check after the fight. Because whos gonna fight Pereira next? Hill ? Rakic? Krylov or Walker? These guys wont sell as much PPV as Izzy.

They should have a rematch. For the two rivals even in kickboxing, there has to be the third fight to find out who really can get the 2-1. Izzy had been in the LHW too when he fought Blachovich, it wouldn't be that difficult for him to get that weight as well.  Izzy coming back to UFC after 3 years, he just can't ignore Alex up there beating Jahamal or Magomed, I think Alex can bleed these guys down.

Come to Daddy says Alex and all Izzy's reply was Elsa lying down. He was challenged. It's now up to him, to hide or not to hide?

Yup...  I made a bad read.  It just felt like Andrade was on her way out.  But it looks like skill for skill Andrade is still way better.  :/


Miocic is out of the picture now that Aspinall has the interim championship.  That means Aspinall has first dibs on Jon Jones as soon as he's ready.  Hopefully Jones really wants to get back in there like he said.  But after seeing how Aspinall took out Pav, I think he'll be taking his time.  Lolol.  And from a betting perspective, I'm taking the underdog whoever it is.  The books will prolly line it close to a coin flip again.

Do you guys think they can still have another rematch if they want to? But I think it's not fair because Adesanya has not won his previous fight. it could be best for them both if Adesanya has a rematch against Stickland and wins it before he is given a chance to fight Pereira again for their last rematch in the UFC. They might be this hostile against each other today but most likely both will become a good friend in the future because of their experiences and memories after all this is all just business and no one should take it personally when they step outside the ring.

That is a good question. Actually, depending on the age of Jon Jones after his recovery, a great fight for him will be next year, but it will depend on his condition if he is going to further take rehabilitation during his healing process. I likely doubt that Stipe Miocic could have a chance of beating Jon Jone or Tom Aspinall for sure, but we would likely be seeing the Stipe Miocic fight for sure. It is inevitable as long as Jon Jones wants that fight.


Let's just say that Stipe Miocic still has some backbone, but I totally agree with you, and we haven't seen Stipe Miocic fighting anymore or active inside the Octagon. I really think that his speed and reaction time are not there anymore. For sure, Jon Jones will likely just get into Stipe Miocic with just a breeze, unlike Tom Aspinall, who has proven that he has speed and fight IQ and has what it takes to be a champion. For me, I want Jon Jones to fight Tom Aspinall now that he is still in his prime.

But Alex was in a perfect position to land even more punches. Before falling to ground, Jiri already ate bunch of elbows and hammer fists. Ref did his job perfectly imho. I dont think that Jiri would do much on the ground; besides Pereira was in full mount. Jiri could try to do something for more 2-20 seconds, but the bombs was already ticking, and from that position Pereira could land more damaging punches. Even after the fight Jiri admitted that there wasnt early stoppage.

Without underestimating Miocic, but I think a fight between Jon Jones and Miocic will be unbalanced. Even though Jones is the GOAT in LHW and Miocic is the GOAT in HW, for me this is no longer a GOAT vs GOAT fight. Jones may still be in his prime, but the fact we should know is that Miocic is almost 42 years old and that is a very old age for a fighter at the highest level in MMA. His speed and reactions were no longer the same as before. Especially with the brutal knockout when fighting with Ngannou. So if the fight does happen I think it will only add to Jones' good record in the UFC before finally deciding to retire.

Huge win for Aspinall, he proved beyond any doubt that he deserves that belt. He might be here for a long reign. I just hope that Jon Jones will not retire after fighting Stipe and will face Tom eventually.
To be fair, I expected Aspinall to try to take it to the ground, but instead, he did to Pavlo what Pavlo had done to everyone else, which is even better. It's not a coincidence that Tom holds the shortest average fight-time in UFC history.

As for Alex, I think that stoppage was a bit premature, the ref could give it an extra second or 2. But he did very well with those leg kicks and of course with that right-left counter. Prochazka did manage to catch him a few times and he was the more aggressive one though. I hope Jiri will bounce back.

This is the result of my bet and prediction for the UFC 295

Jiri Prochazka (2.01) VS Alex Pereira (1.81) - LOST


I think that Jiri Prochazka did great in this fight against those faints and the unusual movement was the one who made him successful in getting something landed on Pereira at the same time Alex Pereira was getting confused with the movement of Jiri Prochazka those leg kicks were the only thing that Alex Pereira can do with Prochazka and for sure Pereira had takedown defense but that guillotine from Pereira was not tight so Prochazka has taken down Pereira, and in the 2nd round this is the time that Prochazka was now very aggressive and wants to knock out Alex Pereira but it was his mistake because this is the time where Alex Pereira have caught him with that left hook the signature of Pereira that get him knockout which for me a good call from the referee,

Sergei Pavlovich (1.92) VS Tom Aspinall (1.89) - WIN


The speed of Tom Aspinall is exceptional in this fight and he uses that to deliver a low kick on Sergei Pavlovich's I think Aspinall did a great job in handing it down to Pavlovich technically, and I was really amazed because Tom Aspinall is not needed any wrestling to destroy Sergei Pavlovich, for sure Tom Aspinall did really amazingly in this fight and because of that he is now the Interim Heavyweight Champion for this division,

Matt Frevola (2.90) VS Benoit Saint-Denis (1.42) - LOST


Now I was really amazed that Matt Frevola lost this but for sure the hype on Benoit was true and he said that he didn't defend Frevola's takedown because he was good at scrambling so for sure Benoit Saint-Denis is pretty much trust in his ground game, that he can do well against Matt Frevola on the ground but that high kick that ended up in the head of Frevola was really superb that knock Frevola out for sure it was a great win for Saint-Denis,

Mackenzie Dern was really sloppy with her striking nor her striking defense, it was really pathetic and as soon as the first started, i knew she would get smoked by Jéssica Andrade because she was not tucking her chin and she was presenting her chin as a gift and thereby getting knocked down 4 times in this fight which should be a UFC record .

The knockout by Diego Lopes was a thing of beauty.

BenoitSaint-Denis also showcased his kicking range and his knockout capability and his range awareness.

Tom Aspinall was the surprise as i heard he was not training for this fight because of an injury and placed the bet on Sergei Pavlovich but fast hands always wins in the Heavyweight division.

Alex Pereira is a beast, striking legend and if you think that you can defeat him with striking he will showcase how elite performs. Two division champion in a single calendar year which is crazy and his post fight speech about Adesanya inspiring him to sign with the UFC when he was working in a bar in Brazil after his Kickboxing career is a stuff of legend .

Trump would do anything to piss off the other party and this time he is with his Vice president Tucker Carlson, the crowd goes wild with these famous guys with them.  It gotta have some influence on the public, Trump is campaigning of course.

Anyway, Alex throwing punches and elbows I don't see it as hard shots but it contributes to Jiri getting unconscious as he tries to take down Alex. Seem not an early stoppage but some are claiming so. The good news for this division is that the new LHW champion is very active and will not issue alibis of broken shoulders or knees to duck fights.

Here are the results of the event...  8 out of 12 matches ended with a finish and all of them quick ones.  Lol.  This event delivered.

Alex Pereira def Jiri Prochazka TKO R2
Tom Aspinall def Sergei Pavlovich KO R1
Jessica Andrade def Mackenzie Dern TKO R2
Benoît Saint-Denis def Matt Frevola KO R1
Diego Lopes def Pat Sabatini KO R1
Steve Erceg def Alessandro Costa UD

Result for my bet and prediction for the UFC 295: Prochazka vs. Pereira

Jiri Prochazka VS Alex Pereira ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

The Weirdness and the unpredictability of Jiri Prochazka were effective at the beginning of the fight at first Alex Pereira didn't have an answer to it, but in the later rounds all Alex Pereira needed to do was extend his arm and back out just to reset the situation because that is how Prochazka's style is he will set up with weird stuff and all Pereira can do is to restart the situation, and another thing is Pereira's leg kicks were really doing damage to Prochazka all Jiri needs to do is to switch stance,

but that setup from Prochazka was really effective on Alex Pereira, and the only thing that he was caught by Pereira was when he aggressively tried to last a sudden blitz to him without the setup, and that is how Pereira caught Prochazka with his nasty Left hook for me it was a good stoppage and if Jiri Prochazka would review the fights replay for sure he would notice his error in aggressively moving forward without setup,

Sergei Pavlovich VS Tom Aspinall ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN

It was too much Tom Aspinall didn't need his wrestling to finish Sergei Pavlovich the speed and Aspinall's fight IQ were all he needed to finish Pavlovich for sure, and for sure Aspinall was intimidated by how Strong Sergei Pavlovich was but anything is possible and Sergei also land some strong punch on Aspinall aswell, and surely that was taken by Tom Aspinall quite great, and those leg kicks was the one that Sergei Pavlovich has problem with this fight and he was also kind of outbalanced by it aswell, and because of the speed of Tom Aspinall it is possible constantly moving and the straight punch have beat the looping punch for sure and what I also notice was Aspinall on the start of the fight when the Referee was saying something and they are facing off, it could be that Tom Aspinall was purposely touch Sergeis shoulder maybe checking the distance of his reach for sure I think that also got Aspinall have an idea to help him for his reach,

Jessica Andrade VS Mackenzie Dern ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

It was weird that Mackenzie Dern just threw 4 takedowns against Jessica Andrade Andrade has a good takedown defense I noticed when those takedowns were not successful against Jessica Andrade, Mackenzie Dern became desperate too desperate that she was throwing punches clumsily and she could not do this to Jessica Andrade and that have made Andrade knocks her but she didn't finish Dern and wants Dern to stand up because she knew that she got the upper hand and for sure Mackenzie Dern was really scared of Jessica Andrade by the look on what is happening because she doesn't know what to do,

Matt Frevola VS Benoit Saint-Denis ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN

And the hype is on for sure no one will question Benoit Saint-Denis anymore if he is just good with wrestling because this has proven that his kicks were really that great and that kick surely got Frevola knockout on the ground led Benoit Saint-Denis the win it was a fast 1:31 mins on the 1st round and for sure I don't know what to say anymore because it was an outstanding win,

This is not the first time Trump visited UFC events. I think that he even helped UFC to get through the law and start airing on TV, as previosly, first UFC events were counted ad barbaric and were live only. Congress and some politics were strongly against blood and violence on tv. With appearence on events, Trump showed that they arent so brutal and it has started process of getting first tv time.

He came to MSG to watch Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira fight for the light heavyweight title and when Trump entered the MSG arena, it was clear that there was very enthusiastic response to Trump arrival, this was an extraordinary event where Trump made splash at UFC 295.
He is also truly great former president and always shows controversial things in front of the public. Moreover, Trump is quite fond of boxing and free fighting sports such as UFC or MMA.
And the highlight is that he is quite familiar with UFC officials and important people such as Dana White who is next to him too and this is the umpteenth time Trump has come to a UFC event to watch the fight on the main card.
