In my opinion, there are very few women who really dream of fighting. It seems that they all start out with the goal of being a champion, but halfway through, they prefer to just be famous as a fighter and turn to other sources, leaving the fights aside.

There should be more women's fights on all cards to better introduce these fighters who are more interested.

I would like to think Kayla Harrison is the except to this.
She started out as a fighter in the PFL but I imagine she became one of those who nobody could beat so she moved on to where she could be challenged and get paid more to do it.
From this video clip on a social media platform, I think she is going to be in the running to receive an award for fighter of the year in the UFC's women division:

With the UFC ending this year, what are the prospects for the upcoming fights and for the fights that will shake up the divisions? From what I've seen, it will be a night fight in Las Vegas. So, I don't expect it to be a big event.

The biggest upcoming fight would be Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall as they had been talking about it non-stop over the past month.
Had heard that Jon is asking for $20million which is along the lines of what one of those Jake Paul boxing matches go for that got grabbed by streaming on NetFlix. So they definitely had the money to pay him what he was asking.
But I am not so sure Dana White will just say yes to what he wants to be paid.
Tom Aspinall would not get paid as much Jones will be getting paid since he is the challenger.

The next big fight that is getting alot of attention is Merab vs Umar.
UFC 311 Countdown: Merab Dvalishvili vs Umar Nurmagomedov - Full Episode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuBEvp3jsxM

The press conference which they have a month early showed that with this:
Merab explodes at Umar Nurmagomedov: "You're a piece of S***!" | UFC 311 Press Conference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O0F3YvCksY

@bbc.reporter
These sex kitten fights aren't seen as main event prospects but more like an appetizer for these main card fights with championship contenders. Such as a Islam Makhachev vs Arman Tsarukyan set up for the first UFC numbered card for the new year.

My most favorite fight of 2025 will be on the first event of the UFC next year heheheheheh! This will be the fight on who will be the baddest sex kitten in the world, Mackenzie Dern vs. Amanda Ribas. These sex kittens are blackbelts in BJ because their fathers are very much experts who began teaching them only they were very young. They have different tactics and technics, however, there can only be one winner!

Everyone should be very much excited for this. I wish they will show all of their skill on the ground and they will not stand up hehehe.

Joaquin Buckley did a great job at winning the fight against Colby Covington. He is very aggressive but he never let his defense down and in fact, he stopped a lot of takedown attempts of Covington. Truly, the only way for Covington to win that match was to take it to the mat and he did it in Round 2. Sadly, he didn't do much damage during that time and Buckley got back up. Round 3 was too much blood from Covington and it's scary because the blood coming out was thick. Buckley won, ref/doctor stoppage.

That's it for this year. On January 2025 we will have Ribas versus Dern. How I wish next year UFC will have some Christmas specials too just like in other sports as their year-end fight.

I think it's very risky to bet on knockouts on this card. In my opinion, this card doesn't look like there will be that many knockouts. Especially on the main card, I think everyone should go to the judges to decide.

But there were quite a few knockouts even the main event between Buckley and Covington was ruled a technical knockout even if it was a doctor's stoppage.

@xLays 5 correct and 8 losses isn't that bad of a prediction for a difficult one to predict but if you took the favorites than you mostly won your bets.
The only one I had incorrect for mine was Petrino where he got knocked out with only a minute and a half left of the final round for him to win the fight. As he was dominating Dustin Jacoby for almost all three rounds.

Here is his post fight interview along with video:
https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2024/12/ufc-tampa-dustin-jacoby-one-punch-knockout-vitor-petrino

All my other selections came in and cashed on those bets.
Just wish I took Marcos instead of that bet so to have had that 4.41x UFC parlay to cash in.

For the UFC ESPN 63 event that is starting later on tonight for the final fight night card of the year.
Have put together this UFC parlay earlier so the odds have changed especially for the main event where Buckley's odds are slightly higher as of now:

I think Colby's talk at the prefight press conference and having a look at the weigh-ins have swayed some people to put big money on him now.

I mostly picked the favorites and hopefully there aren't any upsets in these bouts. But I can see Cub Swanson winning against Billy Quarantillo as an underdog or Navajo Stirling getting beat by Tucos as a very heavy favorite.

Let us talk about the last event of the year for this UFC Fight Night in Tampa, shall we?

Did anybody see the media day yesterday with Colby Covington talking about every fighter recently?
It is quite amusing and is his arrogant attitude that stands out more than his fighting experience in the octagon that stands out more than not.
Colby Covington goes OFF - Trump is going to make America right again!

Man of the Hour messes everyone, he is a funny dude. He said he is the superstar in his current division. lol Fans know he was ducking Garry when the discussion about the fight floats and now he wants to fight Usman for the 3rd time while accusing Usman cheated him. After this Buckley, they should set him up with Garry to see who's the superstar.

Of course, Khabib is Trump's fave fighter. Trump came on his fight against Edwards and was disappointed, the president exited the arena and didn't wait for his octagon interview.

Even though Shavkat Rakhmonov won against Machado Garry this past Saturday, UFC commentator Daniel Cormier revealed that Rakhmonov went into the fight with a serious injury.

“I learned after, that (Shavkat) fought with an injury. I think he tore his MCL going into that fight. With a torn ligament in your knee, you’re not going to look like the killer that you looked like in fights prior,” Cormier revealed in a video on his YouTube channel.

Explains the how he didnt look as good as he has before, but still won the fight Shocked

With or without injury, the next opponent already knows which way to go to defeat him. Garry showed very well and if he had been calmer and had a little more skill he would have won, which I think is incredible. But let's wait and see, I'm looking forward to seeing the next fights.

But Garry showed the way for the next fighters who will face Shavkat. Garry showed that Shavkat can bleed! And he almost won.

You nailed the right word for it. If Shavkat wins the championship against Belal, I want to see Garry next in line for the defense of Shavkat. That will probably gain a lot of hype as Garry did show that he is almost on the same level as Shavkat after that performance in UFC 310. He just lacked that early heat and found out that he could use his kicks to gain the upper hand and notice his reach advantage.

Next up: UFC Fight Night: Covington vs. Buckley

Main Event:
C. Covington vs. J. Buckley
Co-Main Event:
Cub Swanson vs. B. Quarantillo
Main Card:
Manel Kape vs. Bruno Silva
Dustin Jacoby vs. Vitor Petrino
Daniel Marcos vs. Adrian Yanez
N. Stirling vs. Tuco Tokkos
Preliminaries:
M. Johnson vs. Ottman Azaitar
Drakkar Klose vs. Joel Alvarez
Sean Woodson vs. F. Padilla
Miles Johns vs. Felipe Lima
M. Maverick vs. J. Horth
Davey Grant vs. Ramon Taveras
P. Rodriguez vs. J. Knutsson

It's not much. I think I will just bet on the main event.

This is the last Fight Night of the year so many will be betting on this before the very long break until the next bout in the octagon happens next year.

Colby Covington will of course be hyping up his persona with a Trump win of the Presidency since he has always been a supporter and has wore a MAGA hat in the past. So this will be his first fight back in the octagon since that US election win last month.

The Manel Kape vs Bruno Gustavo da Silva fight will be one to watch out for as we all know Kape will be bring some fire with him as he always does during the press conference.
This should be a fun one to just sit back and relax too and not take as seriously from the last numbered card we just had on for the year.

Belal has a high chance of restaging what Garry did against Shavkat and might possibly win if he could even be behind Shav. Shavkaat has a hard time putting Garry down on the mat which Belal could surely do the same.

When Shavkat has 1 loss and Garry also has 1L, they will both deserve a second fight. Belal wouldn't have to know how he could defeat Shav if he jumped right in to defend his title. I guess he'd be more confident.

It was so much fun. It was the complete package, in my opinion.
Shavkat got away from a body triangle and won against Ian Garry. That dude was like a snake, Garry was locked on and yet he still got away from it. He won thanks to that and he avoided a rear naked choke.
Kai Asakura on the other hand cannot get away from the body triangle of Pantoja which results in his loss due to a rear naked choke. That spoiled his debut and he could not show his full strength as it ended quickly at round 2. Alex was right, this is different, this is UFC. It's a good learning point for Kai.
What fight do you guys think is the best of all? I think it was Shavkat versus Garry.
My parlay was wrecked due to the Garry bet but I can say I had fun watching Garry doing everything to win that match. He was underestimated with x4.00 if he wins but I think now they will see him differently.
Now we wait for Shavkat versus the champion Belal.

Shavkat versus Garry was the best fight for sure. I knew Shavkat would win from the beginning, due to the condition Garry arrived in for the fight.
But Garry showed the way for the next fighters who will face Shavkat. Garry showed that Shavkat can bleed! And he almost won.

There were some videos out of how Rakhmonov was fighting with an injury and still managed to pull out a win against a formitable opponent in Ian Garry.
He had a torn MCL prior to the bout in getting prepared for this fight.
Then there were some photos of xrays showing broken toes or fingers for Shavkat.
Now that is scary if he wasn't 100% going into this fight and took that much punishment and didn't submit when it looked very grim for him.
