Kamaru Usman vs Khamzat Chimaev is the only fight I’m really interested in watching. Usman is a beast but Khamzat has been on a tear making his opponents look like unskilled children out there. The odds don’t make this an interesting bet unless you’re going for Usman, and I think he has a decent shot at winning, but I think I’ll just enjoy watching this one.

He is a remarkable fighter. Some of his fights are pretty much you can remember how they end. While he can deliver great KOs, he also gave us one of his funniest KO lol https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cpDfM8gR_uo

But anyway, he always has a place in my mind whoever he fights with. Crazy why he agreed to fight Magomed but he may be inactive for a while if he ever pulls this out. Or fight whoever wins between Jiri and Alex.

Vote for him in my ufc 294 Multi Master Challenge.
13. Islam Makhachev
12. Khamzat Chimaev
11. Johnny Walker

There are a lot of fights as always, but I'm going to watch Johnny Walker's fight against Magomed Ankalaev. That's because I've been watching videos of Johnny Walker's fights, as strange as it may seem, I watch it unintentionally, but leaving that aside. Johnny Walker is 31 years old and was born in Brazil, he is a fighter who has been working as a professional fighter for 10 years. This means that he has a 10-year career and in those 10 years of his career he had 28 fights, and of the 28 fights he managed to win 21 fights and lost in 7 fights. Johnny Walker's strong point is in striking. he has already managed to have 16 victories by knockout, this means that of the 28 fights he has had, more than 50% were victories by knockout.

he also has a detail that should not be forgotten, which is that 14 victories by knockout were in the first round, and he also had 3 victories by submission. on the other side we have Magomed Ankalaev who is being seen as the favorite for this fight, he has odds of @1.30 if he wins the fight, and as if everything points to his victory. He is 31 years old and was born in Russia. He has 9 years of professional career, and during these 9 years of professional career he managed to have 19 fights of which he managed to obtain 17 victories and lost once and drew once. He is also strong in striking. and he managed to obtain 9 victories by knockout, 8 victories were by decision.

my guess would go against the bookmakers, generally it's very difficult to beat the bookmakers in fights where the favorite fighter's scenario has odds below 1.35, but in this case I think it's Johnny Walker who, despite having odds of 4.00 and not being the favorite to win this fight, I still think he can win the fight. It won't be an easy task for him, but he might still be able to win.

Ok guys...  The event starts in 1.5 hours.  Earlier than the usual schedule.  Just dropping by to post thr weigh in results and the last couple of vids from Embedded.  Good luck to all your bets and let's have some fun watching these matches boys...  Leeeezzzz gooooo!

Actually, I never really put so much thought into Dillon Danis defeating Logan Paul, but I never imagined a boring fight at the beginning but at the end it was chaos, but I surely enjoyed the last thing that happen with this event, the fight might be boring but the Drama is really interesting, for me,


This is the 1st boxing fight for Dillon Danis, and this is really expected this is just like the Manny Pacquaio VS DK Yoo fight DK Yoo was really exposed in that fight and it was not an interesting fight aswell,


I really think the place is not going to change the outcome of the fight but Alexander Volkanovski's lack of training will, because Volk admitted that he was not really training much for this fight and I am concerned about this, so for this fight I will be going with Islam for sure


I surely did not forget the two fighting Kittens that are fighting in this event for we have two beautiful Kittens fighting and the only fighting kittens for this event, and look at that stunning beauty of Victoria Dudakova, and while Jinh Yu Frey is open wide and ready to fight well for me this is an interesting fight so I have made my bet for this one, aswell,

---

This is my 1st time betting for so many cards in the UFC and because the event was really juicy I was really excited if most of my Bets would win because if they did I would be very happy with it, and because this is a great Epic event and so this is my Bet and Prediction for the UFC 294

Islam Makhachev VS Alexander Volkanovski

The Odds for this fight are 1.43 for Makhachev and 3.10 for Volkanovski, For me if Alexander Volkanovski didn't say that he lacks training and he doesn't have his full camp in this fight while Islam Makhachev looks huge, and Makhachev also said that he will be focusing more on wrestling just to say he wants to dominate the wrestling for sure, and my bet is for Islam Makhachev,

Kamaru Usman VS Khamzat Chimaev

The Odds for this fight are 3.70 for Usman and 1.33 for Chimaev, For this fight Kamaru Usman is the replacement fighter for me he is really going into this Division so he really needs a fight but against Khamzat Chimaev I really think that he will be having a hard time against Chimaev for sure so my bet is Khamzat Chimaev,

Magomed Ankalaev VS Johnny Walker

The Odds for this fight are 1.30 for Ankalaev and 3.95 for Walker, In this fight Johnny Walker could be dangerous but he is not that technical in the feat Magomed Ankalaev has some technicality and for sure the wrestling is there to back him up in this fight so my bet is Magomed Ankalaev,

Ikram Aliskerov VS Warlley Alves

The Odds for this fight are 1.18 for Aliskerov and 5.80 for Werlley, for this fight Warlley Alves came from 2 losses while Aliskerov came from a great 6 wins, from his loss to Khamzat Chimaev, for he will eventually get his rematch because Khamzat is now on the Middleweight division so my bet is for Ikram Aliskerov,

Said Nurmagomedov VS Muin Gafurov

The Odds for this fight are 1.46 for Nurmagomedov and 3.00 for Gafurov, both came from a loss but for this fight, Said Nurmagomedov is pretty much great with striking so I really don't know how he was defeated in the fight against Jonathan Martinez, while Muin Gafurov to John Castañeda, but for me, I think that Said Nurmagomedov will win this, so my bet is Said Nurmagomedov,

Tim Elliott VS Muhammad Mokaev

The Odds for this fight are 4.50 for Elliott and 1.25 for Mokaev, For this fight Tim Elliott is a dangerous fighter and a test for Muhammad Mokaev, for sure Mokaev will have a hard time against Tim Eliott, but for this fight, I like Muhammad Mokaev and because he is younger for sure he is still gaining to get well, so my bet is Muhammad Mokaev,

Jinh Yu Frey VS Victoria Dudakova

The Odds for this fight are Yu Frey and 1.21 for Dudakova, In this fight the fighting Kitty Victoria Dudakov is such a beauty, indeed but that Beauty is pretty much Dangerous for sure, and against Jinh Yu Frey I really think Yu Frey is just old right now that Victoria Dudakov, is still getting better so my bet is Victoria Dudakov,

Bruno Silva VS Sharabutdin Magomedov

The Odds for this fight are 3.60 for Silva and 1.35 for Magomedov, now this is an interesting fight and the debut for Bullet Sharabutdin Magomedov, while Bruno Silva is a true veteran and a great test for Sharabutdin Magomedov, Sharabutdin Magomedov has the speed and power for sure so my bet is Sharabutdin Magomedov,

You are very much overestimating this one eye samurai Shara Mogomedov. Blindado Silva will kick or punch him on the side where he is blind and he might win by a knockout hehehe. Blinadado has good experiences with Russian fighters because he also has fought in Russian promotions.

In any case, @YuginKadoya it appears everyone has also forgotten that we have sexy fighting kittens for this event hehe. Who is your prediction? Jihn Yu Frey might also be very underestimated for this fight similar to Blinadado.

Here are my picks and predictions for the UFC 294 Event

Islam Makhachev (1.43) VS Alexander Volkanovski (3.10)

This fight is going to be a rematch and their 1st fight was super close as Makhachev surprised Volkanovski with his striking and Volkanovski surprised Makhachev with his wrestling defense for sure both guys did an amazing job in their 1st fight but this is going to be different and right now Islam Makhachev Said he will change his approach against Volkanovski and instead of exchanging stand-up with him he will be more focus in wrestling this time while Alexander Volkanovski admits he is not training much and this is my concern for him he is not training much and for sure he also said that he is ready Mentally and even Physically but I had my doubts so my pick is Islam Makhachev,



Kamaru Usman (3.70) VS Khamzat Chimaev (1.33)

This fight should have been Paulo Costa versus Kahmzat Chimaev but because of the injury reason for sure Dana White was surely pulling him from the event so Kamaru Usman came in on short notice for the Belt in the Middleweight Division for this fight Kamaru Usman came with 2 consecutive losses from Leon Edwards and this is what Khamzat Chimaev is talking about and so in this fight, Kamaru Usman is having a hard time with Leon Edwards and even having a hard time getting him into the ground which Khamzat Chimaev Strength is very different and  for me he can rog dolled Kamaru Usman inside the cage, so my pick is Khamzat Chimaev,



Ikram Aliskerov (1.18) VS Warlley Alves (5.80)

For this fight, Ikram Aliskerov has a crisp striking and is very technical he surely has speed, power and we can not forget his wrestling while Warlley Alves doesn't have technical striking having a hard time with James Krause, Randy Brown, Jeremiah Wells, and Nicolas Dalby he came with 2 consecutive losses, while Ikram Aliskerov came into the fight with 6 consecutive wins, so definitely I am going with Ikram Aliskerov,

Thanks. I didn't expect that. If anything, I expected he'd be pushing for an immediate rematch, at least that's what his coach, Eugene Bareman, said in the post-fight interview. Oh well, that's his choice and we should respect that. If he takes, say, 2 years off, I don't think it will be easy for him to return to the top. But whatever happens, he already had an impressive career.


It's going to be hard for both of them, Islam also has short notice to come up with a tactic against Volk. But I don't think neither of them is satisfied with the last fight, so they'll likely to come up with something new. I expect Volk to push hard from the start and look for a knockout.

The octagon arena anywhere does not make fighters pessimistic about the results of their fights, all spectators can count the number of punches and can even count points during the fight, so there is no reason for that and they have to prove that great fighters can do it without complaining under any conditions, they always train because It doesn't rule out the possibility that they will replace the injured fighter, Islam doesn't even know he will be paired again with Volks, so we have to be objective in looking at the second fight and hopefully Islam can complete the TKO so he doesn't complain for any reason after the fight.

Anyone who thought Dillan would knockout anyone out in any fight have no idea why they are watching the fight, he got decent control on the ground and i saw one fight in Bellator and for a moment expected him to gas out punching the opponent on the ground.

Dillion Danis was able to throw 16 punches the entire fight and it was not entertaining at all, trying to pull the guard in a boxing ring is just stupid because he does not know how to fight  .

Alexander Volkanovski displayed great defense in the first fight and he showed it is impossible to hold him down for a short guy it is impressive, unfortunately the rematch is a short notice one and hence it will be a difficult fight for Alexander Volkanovski as the fight is taking place in Dubai.

Sure because of that boxing fight against Logan Paul, many have anticipated because for sure they want to see Logan Paul get knockout, but instead, and just like what happened to a boxer versus an MMA fighter it is clear that the boxer will certainly defeat the MMA fighter on a boxing fight,

but in Dillon Danis's case, Dana White didn't really want to do something about Dillon Danis for sure that fight was a Disgrace to the MMA community, it was a boxing fight and Danis was using a takedown and a guillotine a boxing fight for some reason that was was a total Chaos, it is not that entertaining but it was not boring at all,


I agree for sure if you lose a decision in your fight you surely can not complain that you got robbed the 1st fight was super close and as I said in that 1st fight Islam Makhachev proved that he also has great striking and Volk has proven his wrestling defense to Makhachev, for sure this is going to be a great fight for sure but I think I might still go with Islam Makhachev here Alexander Volkanovski is on short notice, and doesn't have a full camp and he have revealed that he was lessened his training just to be mentally ready for the fight,

Usman posted a video online regarding this rumor and cleared that it is just click bait and he is not having any injury.

 
I posted about him last January.



Volkanovski will be looking for the knockout and Makhachev will be aware of that and he will be moving a lot from his power shots and will probably try to take him on the ground and tire him out and win the fight probably by decision.

But why no body is talking about the Debut fight from Shara Magomedov, that fight would be easy money, even if that guy only has 1 eye he is a crazy fighter.  It would be one of those fights to bet all-in and walk away with x1.42

From the main fight i don't know what to expect, i think Volkanovski will fight hard trying to KO Islam, but if he doesn't do it then the fight will be for Makhachev... By the way Usman and Volkanovski on a parlay is an x11.13, and I think is totally possible. We know how crazy the UFC outcome can be.

Nobody cares as nobody has placed a bet on him lol

That's prolly gonna be good for him..  He already made a lot of money anyway, so no need to rush back into the cage.  He's one of the greatest 185'ers and he has nothing more to prove.  And what it also does is open up the weight class for newer, younger, hungrier fighters to go at it.  So it's good for 185 overall.

Anyway, does anybody have some updates on Usman's knee?  Seems like nobody is talking about it anymore.

I remember some months ago, we talked about new UFC prospect, Sharabutdin Magomedov ( he is more knows as Shara Bullet for MMA fans post-Soviet territory). That red bearded Dagestani with freak eye. In few days we gonna see his UFC debut in Sharabutdin Magomedov vs. Bruno Silva fight. What we know about him. Despite well know fact about Dagestan and wrestler, he is a muay thai boxer. From his MMA career, I have noticed that he kicks to much. Kick from all distances, angles and on all levels of body (notice - all that eats lots of stamina). He has some wrestling skill, but has low boxing skills as well head movement. What we know about Silva - experienced. He has beaten every trash, but lost to every more or less good fighters Silva has heavy hands. Among his 20 KOs, 15 were made by punches. Even though he is black belt in BJJ, he taps almost immediately when the game turn to the ground.

Conclusion, either energetic and hungry Shara would kick each and every Silvas body cell and win by UD, or he will be KOed in first two rounds.

volkanovski has the highest octagon IQ, there were people who claimed their first encounter was a robbery and that it was he who won that fight. with the update about volkanovski having surgery recently, Islam will win it without a doubt this time. 

almost like risk-free to be rooting for islam and chimaev.

I wasn't aware of the fight being replaced with another opponent and I thought earlier when I watched the press conference, I thought I was watching an old one but when I look at their back, it says "2". I asked myself what had happened. But I realized this could have been planned all along and Volkanovski already trained for this and Islam should not be giving him any chance to have a free strike because that's the same reason why he almost ended up losing in their first fight.

That is a very smart move from Izzy. The guy has been fighting professionally since 2010. 11 fights when champions belt was on the line. That is much different than just having a regular fight, not just physically, bet mentally. Remember that drunk driving case. The guy just must take a break from fighting routine. The other reason for a rest - take a look on middleweight top15 fighters. He has fought most of the top. There must be some changes to be made among fighters position in top, and that will heat interest for his next fight. I mean who he is gonna fight? Strickland again? There is a high chance that he will win this time. Du Plessis - ok, interesting fight. But who's next? Third fight with Vettori? Again with Cannonier? Costa?

Other than being the training partner of Conor McGregor what has Dillon Danis done with his career to make any money. He fought in Bellator in some under card against unknown fighters and that will not help in making money and the only fight he was able to make any money was from the recent event and with his skill level in any form of fighting there is no way Dana White will give him a shot.

Yes he said he is going to take a long break from fighting, he was active as a champion and he has two loses in 3 fights and that might have motivated him to take a break from fighting, Adesanya announced this through his twitter page
