You gotta take the word of Sterling seriously, he knows how to act pretty well. And I could understand Basharat is a monster if in Henry's mind he wouldn't survive 3 rounds he better gives his best act.

Walker vs Ankalaev will have a rematch soon. The knee-to-a-grounded fighter rule should have been abolished by now because it's not going to end well every time as it is always the start of the drama. Walker looks okay and he even wants to fight again, it was said the doc stopped the fight because Walker didn't answer his question.

@YuginKadoya @owengtam09
All your bets seemed to have won even the No Contest one since it gets voided so no loss taken for the Walker bout.
So congratulations on those solid picks for the best UFC event of the year thus far!

@cabron Yeah, I agree with you it was not a good choice on Volkanovski's part to take such a fight on short notice like that especially at a weighclass he was not accustom too. Since during his post fight interview he mentioned he will be moving back to featherweight as he took this lightweight bout to be a double champion which he was wanting to become for awhile now.

Some had already expressed their displeasure on how several of the fights were handled with the doctor needing to make a stoppage to two fights. In which many had said shouldn't have happened especially Dana White who had to go into the ring so to not have Johnny Walker go full rage mode on the referee.
The other fight was Javid Basharat versus Victor Henry that was declared a No Contest due to a shot to the groin:

The best posts on X for the stoppage by the doctor were these ones:

Crap! I should've stuck with the favorites.


Damn it Volk.
It was not a solid head kick but it hit the right spot, the temple, to make Volkanovski wobbly. I could not say it was a lucky kick too because Makachev had been combining both low and high kicks and it worked out perfectly for him.
The height and reach advantage made it hard for Volk to get inside. I think he got a better chance when they were in the clinch than being in a standing fight. It will take a long time before we can see these two great fighters match again, there are so many contenders in the lightweight division.

Congratulations to the winners.

UFC 294: Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2
What a terrible fight, glad I didn't really booked flight, hotel and fight tickets for this fight. Makhachev just hammered Volkanovski in two minutes. At first, there was some strikes from both sides but then Makhachev kicked his leg to Volk on head and then Volk went lightheaded and fall down and then was the time when Makhachev immediately went down to him and started his hammering. It was terrible to see how Volkanovski's head was shaking when Makhachev was kicking him. This is not what I was expecting, I hoped that Volk would beat him, I dunno why did he took this fight if he wasn't ready for this, what was the point? I almost wanna cry for this lose.

Ahh thanks for this, i didnt remember that.
If i liked islam by sub at 2.4 odds before that just makes the same bet at 4x odds much more appealing...

i think ill put small on that along with fight to go distance

Makhachev by submission is now @ 3.85.  Maybe he can do it. It's very possible after all wrestling and grappling are Makhachev's expertise. He just has to get up his back, he needs to be very agile to be able to do this, or else he could be the one landing his face down the floor.

But if I root for Volkanov, I'd go for Volkanovski By KO  @ 6.2 He has been knocking out his opponents for a while already.  Islam can also be knocked out.

Those betslips are quite old and the last one couldn't really count since they are not all UFC bouts included in the parlay.
I had one I put up on here which was over 10x but with a very small amount for the stake so only won about 23-25mbtc.
But still shows you it is possible if you know which markets to look at and choose them accordingly.
Will have to go through the past posts on the thread to see if it is still available before the image hosting sites started blocking the use of their services here on the forum. Yeah it was late last year or earlier this year when I had that big odds win betslip.

When checking a few pages back I found this from you on the first Volkanovski vs Makhachev fight:


So what are your thoughts about how this rematch will play out for the fighters?

Now my picks and predictions for this great event on the UFC 294

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,

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,

Not much heat on these two main event fighters.

It will be their fists and talents that will show greatness and not their mouths. No trash talks just a peaceful ceremonial weigh-in and it ended so quickly.
2:00 AM in our timeline, damn I will probably miss this fight.

How about the co-main event? Kamaru Usman versus Khamzat Chimaev.
Usman trying to gain his rank in this new weight class and of course his reputation too after being defeated in the Welterweight division twice by the new champion Leon Edwards. He will probably go back to welterweight as a gatekeeper if he loses on this one. But many rumors are coming out that he just took the short-notice fight for the money so expect maybe a knockout fight with Usman lying on the mat. I mean, he ain't serious about going up the ladder as fighters in the middleweight are more extreme and I still believe he has a better chance against Edwards than in this weight class.

My money is ready but still having a rough time for my picks in one good parlay. 

I was just going through some past posts looking for any  good prediction posteers and see you managed to win on these two parlays in the UFC over 6x and 9x. Those are some really nice plays especially on the 2.2 under dog bets

Reminder  to everyone UFC tomorrow  is early start and only about 15 hours  away, lines for  the main card havent moved much and id say fight to go to decision is a nice bet at 2x odds

Seemed to be a nothing burger because he was at the press conference and looked alright and also did the weigh-ins for this event which just ended about 3 hours ago so we will be having all mentioned fights on this card finally confirmed and accounted for.

Two fighters missed weight. One being the one I had a screencap of when the fight card was announnced:
Viktoriya Dudakov - She can not shed 6 lbs so she will give part of her purse instead so the fight with Frey will go on.

As a precaution UFC also has Mateusz Gamrot weigh-in even if he is not on the card but as a backup fighter which Dana White had mentioned weeks ago if Oliveira or Islam pulled out which happened but Alexander took the fight on such short notice.
https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2023/10/ufc-294-video-islam-makhachev-vs-charles-oliveira-mateusz-gamrot-backup-fighter

We still have the Ceremonial weigh ins to see before this major UFC Main Event kicks off for this weekend happening in less than an hour!

The Press Conference for the upcoming fight for the UFC 294: Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzcd56QxLfA

This is a heated Press Conference for the upcoming fight for the UFC 294 and it is really juicy for sure I really like how Hasbula is giving Islam Makhachev his belt, that was really cute, as we all know Hasbulla is a well-known personality and a friend of the Nurmagomedov, but it is funny when Alexander Volkanovski ask a question for Hasbulla "Who's he's gonna back tonight?" when Khamzat Borz Chimaev is huge taller than Kamaru Usman, and for sure Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski had some respect for each other for sure,

This might be late but I think this Individual interview was really important for this juicy event,

Volkanovski released a video on his youtube channel that he knows most fighters wont take this fight with 11 days notice but he sees this as an opportunity. See more here-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3LbjWNmgBw

Personally i like the fight to go the distance, and i donot want to bet against khabib camp fighters but it may just be worth it to bet on volkanovski at 3 odds.
I also think betting on Nurmagomedov + chimaev is a pretty nice play paying 1.94 odds!

This is a nice prediction video for  UFC 294 if  someone wants more opinions-

UFC 294: Predictions and Breakdown - by TheWeasle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYGRdB7jFY8

This is a great event well firstly I think this is the 1st time I would like many fights for a card in this event for sure from the Main Event to the last but I am just taking what I think will be the juicy one, for sure Islam Makhachev VS Alexander Volkanovski was a truly great fight for sure that will be an insane fight but Volk going in this fight and doesn't have a full training camp is for sure a suicidal in my opinion, I surely wish that he knows what he is doing, even though their 1st fight was so much close and he is putting the decent defense on Makhachev's wrestling the stand-up is a different story for sure,

Kamaru Usman VS Khamzat Chimaev is a great fight but I still want the Paulo Costa fight to happen, maybe if Khamzat Chimaev can get this done or become champion then a fight for the belt will give Paulo Costa a chance for the belt but sure he needs to take the Rank one 1st, this is really unexpected and for sure will give an edge to Chimaev moving for the belt, Magomed Ankalaev VS Johnny Walker is a fight of athleticism for sure we all know Johnny Walker for sure while Magomed Ankalaev can surely finish the fight in the ground he can not underestimate  Johnny Walker for sure, Ikram Aliskerov VS Warlley Alves and Said Nurmagomedov VS Muin Gafurov is a tasty one for sure this could end up with a submission win or maybe a knockout win depending on how the Dagestan can finish their opponent,

Tim Elliott VS Muhammad Mokaev, now this fight Mokaev is a shinning prospect for sure for me Tim Elliott is a great opponent for this kid to test the waters, and Jinh Yu Frey VS Victoria Dudakova, for me I have so much appreciation for Victoria Dudakova I think he is a beautiful and Dangerous at the same time a fighting kitten for sure, and for this fight Yu Frey will be  tested, and lastly Bruno Silva VS Sharabutdin Magomedov fight where this is the debut for Bullet Sharabutdin Magomedov the Dagestan Striker,

Something came up and it looks like Usman's knee just popped.  This is according to this Twitter post https://twitter.com/Sa_Gwang/status/1714670633798324417
Gaethej confirmed this too.

A bummer to see there will be a fight to cancel and apparently it's the one that we have been anticipating. Less than a week of notice seems not possible. If they however going to push through with Usman vs Khamzat, it's really an odd that we have not seen before against the top fighter.  

The biggest fight so far this year is arriving UFC 294 not soon enough for some coming over the weekend!
Many are still hyped even after the confusing time with the contenders for the main event switching opponents but they are quite ready as shown from these latest series videos from the UFC official channel on youtube:

Can not wait for the media day press conference and the weigh-ins for this UFC event to start things off right!

Now that the UFC Fight Night: Yusuff vs. Barboza has been settled and surely not much was really interested in it and if I could have a chance I should have  saved my bet for the Main Event Card and not with this Fight Night but the Damage has already done,

Thanks for sharing the link I think that was the article that I also saw with the drug testing organization for the UFC, or they the UFC do drug testing on their own, I think I have read another article that says this but let's just wait for further news if what does the UFC have settled in doing this drug testing, for sure the UFC wants to control the result for the drug testing or maybe the USADA is getting cheeky with the requirements,


I was surprised by Edson Barbosa for sure I underestimated him and because of that I paid the consequence and lost my bet, I was late in getting a good look at Edson Barbosa's for sure I was really surprised with his Physique and his performance was awesome as well, for sure I thought that Yusuff could finish this on the beginning of the round but Barbosa has suddenly turned the tables against Sodiq Yusuff

You were right! They did already announce they would be going with another drug testing organization.
Drug Free Sport International, the same ones who do the testing of athletes from the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball and the NCAA and others.

Here is the article I read up on this which will begin for the new year when their contract with USADA ends:
UFC creates its own drug-testing program in wake of split with USADA over McGregor
https://www.foxsports.com/articles/ufc/ufc-creates-its-own-drugtesting-program-in-wake-of-split-with-usada-over-mcgregor

Barbosa acted like an experienced fighter and did not let the first round near K.O deter him and went on to win the fight.
It was one of those fight nights which anything could happen and did.
Jonathan Martinez after his win against Yanez even called out Merab which nobody really expected because before tonight I never really seen him fight.

The biggest upset for me was the co-main event where Viviane Araujo defeated Jennifer Maia.
There was a betslip I viewed from one of those UFC experts who had every single fight predicted corrected expect for this one. She looked very bad in this fight and it will affect her rankings for a title shot.
