You're not really nice with our new Stake ambassador 7788bitcoin   If Blachowicz won without any challenge why he has not been able to finish him in 5 rounds?
I'm a little bit disappointed because I think Adesanya has been overhyped by those promotions. Congrats to bettors who kept their heads cool despite all this hype.  

Adesanya just can't take the weight, it's too abrupt for him to really get used to the body weight. he could have fought someone else yet in the light heavyweight and not the champ right away. he is new in the division and then Dana just put him right against Blachowicz. anyway, lose with Petr Yan. it's disappointing to see that Yan is winning, he is good at boxing but then violates a rule all of a sudden and lost it.

Go that Adesanya cost him when Jan was on top of him, apparently the weight did affect the category very well, from the 4th Raound Jan's strategy was to throw him to the ground and from there apply force and use all his weight , really there if he dominated the Polish. Adesanya couldn't contain being shot down, it was a very strategic fight. I hope to see the rematch again, they are actually different categories, the difference was seen, there was a lot of respect between them in the same way.

Israel Adesanya was like a duck stuck in a cage in the fourth round the weight of Jan Błachowicz which i was talking about was showing in the fight and if Jan Błachowicz can continue that in the final round he can retain the belt  .

Edit: The final round was the same, the Polish power showed how he can control Israel Adesanya and he did that in the feet and in the ground he dominated as Adesanya was pinned to the ground and won the fight without any challenge  .

It is like that, he did not want to put the Champion belt and threw it into the octagon, I do not know if it was an act of groceries, but it was not something very correct, however they must meet again in another fight, things cannot continue like this. Now that Nunes and Anderson are fighting, the main course is last with blachowicz and Adesanya.

The Power of Amanda with tremendous Lever makes the fight end !! Incredibly ... The good is coming !!

Yan losing his belt and title due to an illegal knee to the head while Sterling was down was the biggest upset in tonight's matches so far.

According to an ESPN2 commentator, he said that Adesanya is taller, has the body to beat the Pole, that fights are not won by muscles, Adesanya fully has the conditions to win. Besides that he has a lot of speed, that is a plus in favor of Adesanya.

The match is almost starting, the statistics for now are favoring Adesanya.

I'm not surprise with him picking Israel as the winner but the manner of finish and the time is too ambitious. You are better off with just a win by KO.

This is basically the reason why I picked Jan to win the fight. I don't think IA can knock him out but he can win on points. The chances of Jan catching him in five rounds is higher.

that two matches is where i bet as well but for Blackowics just to be entertained and big hit but by KO i bet for Nunes and Petr Yan. there are really good matches here but there is just too much to bet i have no funds in my Stake account anymore to bet unless i win big after the 259.

Blackowics has 50/50 chance of course Adesanya is quicker but since he added some pounds to his weight I'll risk this time.

Rakic vs Santos, was that a fight or some sort of interpretive dance? I'm not sure.

Islam Makhachev is the real deal..who knew hugging people can also win fights. #makelovenotwar
Kidding, but top tier grappling from Makhachev. Future champ right there.

What a crazy end to Yan vs Sterling's fight. I thought Yan had the win guaranteed after 3 rounds. Unfortunate for him. There should be a rematch soon.

Its so sad to watch womens division. Nobody really knows how to fight other than Nunes. 

The underdog? You really think Błachowicz can win against Adesanya? You don't think he is way too slow to be able to do something against him? IMO it will be an easy win for Adesanya. I've bet on him, and even put a small stake on a victory by KO.
I've bet on Amanda Nunes too and a victory before the bell because I think Megan Anderson is just sparring partner for her, she's really courageous indeed.

In my opinion Izzy got this as few of people know that he fought more than 90 times before joining UFC and that is more than enough for me to take him as a winner tonight because Izzy came late into UFC and yet so young.

My biggest pick tonight will be Megan Anderson to win over Nunez as I think it's time for a new champ to rise and this girl is mega tough who is gonna put a one big fight and give all she got in order to secure the win. A pretty bold pick for me but it can pay out really nice.

I took Nunes under 1.5 rounds so expect her to not underestimate this giant and be the slayer just like that beanstalk story, she probably reads to her new kid for a nite-time nursery rhyme to make her fall asleep.

I don't think Blachowicz will go away silently into the night either.
He will put up a fight and that's why I put to go the distance for my pick on this main event blowout fight between these two light heavyweight contenders.

Hello again buwaytress!
I went with the underdog to win by decision. They gave too much of high odds to pass it up at @9.80x so we will just need to wait and see if my risk bet pays off for this major upset to happen.
Good luck to you on your predictions as well friend.

I have to agree with you on this guess on how the rounds will go.
This Polish guy is massive and is use to fighting at this weight-class as they have just said in the preview on the local channel broadcasted where I got these latest screens from, Adesanya is doing an "experiment" to fight in a weight-class which he is not use to being in.
So it will certainly make it interesting to see how he copes with this monster of a man named Blachowicz.

Here is a screencap of the ones who have done the near impossible in which Israel is looking to do tonight with a win to hold multiple belts in different weight-classes at the same time.
Only four others have done it and she is fighting tonight as well.

I watched Eddie's Stream (co-owner of Stake and the Official betting partner of the UFC) today and he placed a bet on Israel Adesanya to win with a knockout in the first round. I think I am going to do the same, even though I know it is going to be a big call against Mr Strong jaw. 

I hope Israel is quick enough to dodge the power and to find a way through to bring him down early... if the fight goes on too long, he might get lucky and he might get Israel on the ground and use his power to tap him out. (well that is my prediction) 

Hello friends, rdbase!

I'm pretty much an MMA virgin here. I HAVE placed fiat bets before and I spent many, many, MANY nights drinking beer and throwing baht at muay thai fighters in Thailand in the 2000s (total crazy and fun atmosphere, seriously) so I definitely get the buzz around these fights.

But having my own fun here with Sportsbet promos and will be following my picks: Medic, Rakic, Kenney and Yadong on a 7/1 total odds, parlayed with a football win for Spurs (already booked haha).

Good luck!

^Yeah mine's still 1.45, and fiat bookie boring at 1.40

All the major prediction sites that i follow picked Israel Adesanya to win the fight and some have picked for TKO win but i think Jan Błachowicz is hard to finish unless you are a hard puncher and he has the ground game and everyone is sleeping on the ground game of Jan Błachowicz and we have seen Middle Weight fighters testing Adesanya in striking.

Amanda Nunes is the heavy favorite in this card and no one expects Megan Anderson to defeat her but she has the size and reach advantage and i am expecting the fight to go over 1.5 rounds.

Aljamain Sterling has the grappling advantage and he has a chance to win and the only bet i make is Islam Makhachev which i think is a sure bet .

You can check odds of different sportsbooks on odds comparators like oddschecker.com for example :

As you can see 1.47 for Adesanya is currently the biggest odds among main sportsbooks.

This fight is coming down to be one of the most EPIC as the last video has put it and not one to miss!

Just looked at some staff picks and predictions on the Bloody Elbow site and I am actually quite surprised that the vast majority pick Adesanya over Jan. I am not surprised by them picking Nunes to win over Anderson or even mixed picks for Sterling and Yan (in favor of Yan), but with the main fight they all act like Jan is a lamb brought to slaughter. They all credit him as having more power and that just about sums it up, living room to write up about Izzy being the second coming of Jesus. I know Jan an't the best LHW but for f**** sake give the man some chance.

This was a discussion prior to the weigh-ins today.
BTW, I never really checked out the v-log series for this fight but after watching the latest one today found it an interesting introspective of what each fighter goes through building up towards the fight card taking place:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT6OBT_bHuU
Shows them during the weigh-ins and I liked watching it more due to the editing done to cut it down so you are only needing to watch the important points.

Israel had a pizza box at the end of his weigh-in to show he thought needed to gain more weight so to face the likes of Jan.
Weighing at just over 200 (they announced he was at 201 and a half) he didn't met the 205 but still impressive to have bulked up as much as his frame allowed from 185lbs weight class to this 200lbs he stands at now.
15-16lbs aint half bad to gain and it looks to be all muscle.

But as bbc.reporter has already mentioned Blachowicz is at a 30 pound advantage over his opponent.
So if he manages to grapple with him and swing him around the ring like a rag doll,
well then..
It will certainly be over. Because he does look like a monster from his previous fight shown here against Reyes:
