Will be placing my UFC Vegas 76 bets this weekend on Abus Magomedov to beat Sean Strickland.
From the latest video put out on him for media day yesterday, I can't see myself cheering for the guy.
Everything he had to say was either abusive to every ethnic group or was offensive towards women and even his mother and father.

I think he is doing this to make himself to be the villian or something since the WWE can be his offramp if he keeps getting beat in the UFC.
Easy transition for him in that regards of playing the bad guy.

^
I missed the fight aswell but after watching the preview I am not surprised why Chepe Mariscal won the fight against Trevor Peek, well just like what you have said Trevor Peek is someone that doesn't really have full control of his punching he will surely swing his punch without that technicality in it well Trevor Peek is like a wild dog that throwing everything even the kitchen sink, While Chepe Mariscal is a brilliant fighter he really saw what Trevor Peek will do well actually he doesn't really know the way the hammer punch and the axe punch will  be coming but he knows the style of Peek will not carry a victory at all,

For me, Chepe Mariscal is looking brilliant right now for sure he will be heading a long way into his career, but I want to see him fight a caliber boxer next if his skill really improve,

And going with the UFC Vegas 76 here is the promotional video for Abus and Sean

Strickland vs Magomedov - Loves Violence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5yN9TOBAJs

Actually, I missed the fight and I only saw highlights of it but after you said that it was awesome for me it was a dog fight Incredible performance for Chepe Mariscal but Trevor Peek has a pretty much solid chin it was so solid that he refuses to get knocked out, while Chepe Mariscal has done everything in his power to get the TKO to win, it was dominated by Chepe Mariscal, and you are right that this should have the 50G cash price aswell but Dana White can not give anymore 50G for two fight and to 4 fighters at the same time I really don't know why, but surely Chepe Mariscal winning he surely fight smart inside the Octagon he was pure technical on Trevor Peek and for Trevor Peek he only sees red he keeps on giving those punches those hammer fist, axe fist, and he will throw anything under the sun, his technicality went outside the window, just by throwing those fist, that is why Chepe Mariscal win this fight

The Amanda Ribas VS Maycee Barber fight was really brutal both fighting kitties were bloodied but surely Barber have seen an opportunity to end Ribas and it was all good for her,

You guys above both missed mentioning about one of the first fights of the event during the early prelims:
Trevor Peek vs. Chepe Mariscal

That was an awesome fight and that is how these events should start. With a bang!
Those two guys were exchanging without letting up from start to finish.

I was surprised it didn't get a performance bonus for both those fighters aswell.

Chepe Mariscal won the bout and it was his debut into the UFC and now says he wants to fight in three different divisions.
https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/lists/ufc-abc-5-jacksonville-video-chepe-mariscal-fights-in-three-divisions
Now that is determination in being the best he can be this early of his career.

Actually only the main event beat it then came the Ribas vs Barber fight in my books as fights of the night in that order.

It was a good thing that Josh Emmett got the $50,000 grand he likely needs to enjoy what he has now even though he lost in that fight he shows durability and bravery in still getting up close to Topuria even though Ilia Topuria likely beating him so much, he still deserves that cash prize, Maycee Barber likely has a good fight with Ribas and she surely deserves this,

Now here are my early Full-Pick prediction for the events today,

UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov

Sean Strickland vs Abus Magomedov

CO-MAIN EVENT
Damir Ismagulov vs Grant Dawson

MAIN CARD
Max Griffin vs Michael Morales
Ariane Lipski vs Melissa Gatto

Yana Santos vs Karol Rosa
Ivana Petrović vs Luana Carolina
Joanderson Brito vs Westin Wilson

Guram Kutateladze vs Elves Brener

Sportsbet Odds and Betting

UFC Multi-Master Challenge

It was good that even Josh Emmett also got the $50,000 bonus it was a dominant fight for Ilia Topuria but because Emmett likely withstood Topuria's punches and strikes and make it to the distance he likely get the bonus like Topuria not bad enough

---

Now here are the result of my picks for the UFC on ABC 5: Emmett vs. Topuria

Josh Emmett (3.70) VS Ilia Topuria (1.28) - WIN

With this win, Ilia Topuria is near to taking a title fight match, and with this recent win he is 1 step closer to fighting Alexander Volkanovski, but 1st Yair Rodriguez is an interesting fighter aswell and with the upcoming main event the Volkanovski VS Rodriguez fight we can surely see another great fight for sure, and with this Josh Emmett fight Ilia Topuria has shown that he is the dominant fighter but for sure I want to see another fight for Topuria and maybe I want to see who have the most dominant boxing Ilia Topuria or Max Holloway,



Amanda Ribas (1.50) VS Maycee Barber (2.60) - LOST

This is a frustrating loss for me but still a great fight to watch both these girls deserves the performance of the night but Maycee Barber was the only one that got the price of $50,000 Bonus it was a solid win for Maycee Barbers, and a close match indeed but Barbers has gotten the KO to win so it is her prize money,

Result for the UFC on ABC 5 Emmett VS Topuria

Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria ROUND 5 DECISION  - WIN

Well after seeing this masterclass boxing from Ilia Topuria I can say that Ilia Topuria is not the same as Yair Rodriguez, Yair has those high kicks but I always thought that Topuria has those kicks aswell but right now he is showing great boxing shoulder defense amazing, from ost of the overhand punch of Emmett, Josh Emmett punches is pretty much obvious Ilia Topuria can clearly see it all, he can read Josh Emmett the whole fight it was a dominant Ilia Topuria fighting Emmett for me all round was for Topuria, but 1 judge have given 1 round to Josh Emmett which is ridiculous,

Amanda Ribas VS Maycee Barber ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

This fight for the Woman Flyweight was a brutal Bloody mess but it was a spectacular fight any of them can win this fight but Maycee Barber has thrown most of the strikes to Ribas, it was a spectacular fight Amanda Ribas have thrown 3 takedowns but only was successful but Maycee Barber have shown good defense with those submission attempts
from Amanda Ribas,

Tabatha Ricci VS Gillian Robertson ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

And Tabatha Ricci was amazing she have thrown more strikes than Robertson, at 1st it was a close match but Ricci have find her momentum with her takedowns she have thrown 8 takedowns that eventually find 3 of them successful while Gillian Robertson throws only 4 and just 1 success surely takedown defense of Tabatha Ricci is more successful, it was a crazy fight but Tabatha Ricci was amazing with her performance she surely outperform Gillian Robertson

Yup! It was too early I almost didn't get my picks for this event, but still it was a solid event the Main Event was a heaven for action even though it didn't end up with what I expected to be a KO or Submission win for Topuria but even though it ends up in a decision it was an entertaining fight to see,

The Amanda Ribas VS Maycee Barber is an epic fight to watch it was full of action indeed, and the most frustrating fight was the No contest for the Heavyweight Justin Tafa vs Austen Lane, but Brendan Allen vs Bruno Silva has an amazing finish actually I never thought that the fights would be this great,

---

The result of my picks


Josh Emmett vs Ilia Topuria - WIN

Josh Emmet was one durable fighter but Ilia Topuria got great boxing defending and not giving some for Emmett, the whole fight was a spectacular fight but Ilia Topuria was in full control, had amazing boxing skills, and can surely read Emmett's every move, Josh Emmett doesn't have any opening for Ilia Topuria while Topuria is reading him like a book, it was a dominant fight for Topuria, now I really don't know if Ilia Topuria has elite boxing like Alexander Volkanovski because Josh Emmett is not in that Elite level he is not likely champion material,

Justin Tafa vs Austen Lane - NO CONTEST

It was an intentional Eye poke and respect both fighters Justin Tafa is just full of respect for Austen Lane and don't want him to be booed like that, It was not a great time actually I was frustrated but at the same, it was this kind of thing really happen and I really feel bad about both fighters,

Brendan Allen vs Bruno Silva - WIN

It was a round 1 fight submission win for Brendan Allen it was a crazy win and Bruno Silva made a big mistake for Bruno Silva in giving his back, so it was a win for Brendan Allen,

Yeah it is very early as the prelims main event is just ending with Magny vs Rowe.

But what a great prelim match right from the start with the fight of the night already declared.
Try and guess which one?

All the fights so far have been by decision so have gone the distance. Except for one which the fighters leg just gave out on him after taking alot of strikes.

Ricci won her match so those who had their bets on her to win congratulations on that early win so far!

Getting ready for the rest of the main card to begin in just a few more minutes after this final and third round is done for Magny.

Good luck to all with those bets above!

Picks and Prediction for the UFC on ABC 5

Josh Emmett vs Ilia Topuria

This is an interesting fight Ilia Topuria just like everyone is saying has the same fighting style as Yair Rodriguez but for me, I think Topuria had a strategic approach at the beginning of the fight, and then if he likely sees an opening that is the time he will surely move, while Josh Emmett is a brawler that definitely had his own wrestling game, but for me, the level of Topuria's BJJ is greater than Emmett, Sportsbet odds are 3.70 for Emmett and 1.28 for Topuria, so my pick is Ilia Topuria,

Justin Tafa vs Austen Lane

Justin Tafa likely wants to finish this fight quickly so I think he is aiming for a knockout win here and waiting for his opponent to cause a mistake, it is really interesting because Heavyweight fights end quickly but this heavyweight fighter Austen Lane got smarts on his move and you can say he is fast like Cyril Gane a combination of kicks and strikes, and a takedown if his opponent gets to the ground he would surely ground and pound it is really weird but for me, this is an interesting Heavyweight fight, for sure Sportsbet odds are 2.50 for Lane and 1.53 for Tafa, I am going with Austen Lane,

Brendan Allen vs Bruno Silva

For this fight this is really straight forward Bruno Silva is a stand-up fighter, he would want to finish the fight while standing and I never see him getting takedown Brendan Allen is the opposite so for this fight Bruno Silva will likely need takedown defense more because Allen can keep this fight on the ground and Silva doesn't want that to happen but for me, the Sportsbet odds are 1.45 for Allen and 2.75 for Silva, my pick is Brendan Allen,

I think it is never too late to post it here aswell, just like you these are my bet and Predictions, for the Main Event and the Co-Main Event only,

Josh Emmett (3.70) VS Ilia Topuria (1.28)

Both Emmett and Topuria are well-rounded with the stand-up and the ground game, for sure this is one great fight to watch but Ilia Topuria is clearly the most like to win here, for me Ilia Topuria got the fight IQ and durability in withstanding against Emmett's strikes I surely see Topuria can shake off a huge strike from Emmet then retaliates with a strike of his own, or being more well rounded in the ground for me the level of knowledge of Topuria in the ground is vast so Emmett will likely have a hard time for sure, so my pick is Ilia Topuria,



Amanda Ribas (1.50) VS Maycee Barber (2.60)

Clearly, it is hard to predict who's going to win in this fight, but Maycee Barber has proven her worth by winning against Jessica Eye and Andrea Lee I badly want her to fight Erin Blanchfield but it got canceled when Erin Blanchfield got a great win against Molly McCann, and Jéssica Andrade, but for me, Amanda Ribas got a great style and taking on Viviane Araujo and winning it for me has some great thing for her for me I will be giving a go with the bet for Amanda Ribas,

It is a UFC Fight Night if you look at Tapology you will see this,



It was UFC Fight Night Jacksonville, well they have added ABC 5 because that is the Affiliated mainstream station that will broadcast this event live,

---

Here are my picks, prediction, and bet for the upcoming UFC on ABC 5

Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria

The odds for this fight are 3.70 for Emmett and 1.28 for Topuria, For me the level of comparison for these two fighters is so much far away, Ilia Topuria is crazily good with his age, for me this is going to be a close fight on the start but if Ilia Topuria saw an opening he will surely blow out Emmett, we can see if Josh Emmett manage to knockout Topuria, Ilia Topuria will simply get back up as nothing had happened then Topuria will get back that tenfold with a Knock out or a submission just like what he does, I have bet an Ilia Topuria win and winning this fight with a KO or Submission win,

Amanda Ribas VS Maycee Barber

The odds for this fight are 1.50 for Ribas and 2.60 for Barber, Surely it is hard to predict a woman fight but Amanda Ribas is very durable for me Ribas has great striking sure her accuracy but for me her takedowns are superb surely Maycee Barber also has some takedown game but for me, Amanda Ribas is much advance with her game for sure this is going to be a win for Amanda Ribas,

Tabatha Ricci VS Gillian Robertson

The odds for this fight are 1.74 for Ricci and 2.11 for Robertson, Both of these girls have shown great talent with their submission but who has the real leveled submission game, for me that record of Ricci is superb but his experience of Robertson is proven to have come a lot, but for me, this is going to be a close match and the first to give the submission a armbar will be the winner, and looking at their previews fight and both are armbar, this is going to be a win as a submission win, for me I will be going with Baby Shark Tabatha Ricci,

Very early preliminary matches for this UFC event as I would go to guess why this isn't called fight night main event bouts.

Get your bets in early enough as the first one beginnings in about 3.5 hours from now!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxrJyOFB4Ik

Will make my predictions for this UFC event closer to the fight time as the start for it is mid-afternoon so best to make them Saturday morning.

For me, there aren't really much exciting fights in here except for the Main Event, Josh Emmett still has a great record and his fights were really great to watch for sure Yair Rodriguez's fight was stunningly good and Rodriguez had a hard time against Emmett for sure even though Emmett lost that fight and surely those kicks from Yair Rodriguez is solid and brutal to Emmett well it was finished with a triangle choke and it was spectacular what these two have showcased in the fight and after that, Yair Rodriguez shows some respect to Josh Emmett after he taps out, for me Ilia Topuria has a same technique as Yair Rodriguez so a fight with Josh Emmett will be a banger aswell,

Right now as I am posting this the fight for Trevor Peek vs. Victor Martinez was canceled due to Victor Martinez withdrawing from the fight I don't know the reason then Trevor Peek will now face Chepe Mariscal as a substitute fighter for Martinez,

The UFC on ABC 5 Multi-Master Challenge is up and here is the link - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62435568


It was canceled for the UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Cannonier, but it was rescheduled in UFC Fight Night Jacksonville but yeah it was postponed and likely reschedule in a better time slot, for me well this is truly a banger fight for sure, Josh Emmett is really durable, but Ilia Topuria will showcase another great fight for sure,

It wasn't necessarily cancelled but postponed and rescheduled according to this article I found posted yesterday:

source: https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/ufc-fight-night-marvin-vettori-vs-jared-cannonier

Delaying it for the week after just makes it sound less like either fighter had to pull out due to injury. Thus the entire fight between these two would have to be cancelled and not rescheduled because then it would be at an unknown date at that point.

Now that the UFC Fight Night Las Vegas is settled I think we can move on to UFC Fight Night Jacksonville, where I think this is going to be an interesting event, here is the full card,

Updated: The Multi-Master Challenge - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62435568

The Killa Gorilla has improved so much and I think this is because of Israel Adesanya he is motivated by what has happened with their fight he said that in the interview he was really aiming for a title fight and he wants to out strike Adesanya on their next fight, and right now he can wrestle now he also has said that he hadn't shown his wrestling capabilities yet, and right now he has a huge cardio going in the fight that fights was 5 rounds and he was an interview and he was never breathing heavily, that goes to show the level of the gas tank going into the fight,
