I believe you are right about this for sure USADA was doing this for the money and sure Dana White and the UFC are really pissed with the USADA for me as their cash cow can not fight in the intended fight that they want, but maybe USADA just wants for UFC to pay them so they can approved on Conor McGregor for sure,

---

Here is the result of my bet and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Yusuff vs. Barboza it was a frustration because all of my bets lost for sure I was really surprised by the results here it is,

Sodiq Yusuff VS Edson Barboza ROUND 5 DECISION - LOST

For sure Sodiq Yusuff was great in the 1st round until Edsan Barbosa got the pace in the next rounds shutting and slowing down Yusuff with a spinning kick that was the turnover to Barbosa for sure I really never expecting that and I was standing at my seat seeing that because I already lost 2 fights for sure, so pretty much I needed the win for the Main Event but still Sodiq Yusuff didn't delivered, for my bet but still the next event is really juicy for me,

Jonathan Martinez VS Adrian Yanez ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

While Even though Adrian Yanez is pretty much more accurate with his striking Jonathan Martinez has found a way to slow down Yanez, I was really shocked that Martinez has done this, taking low kicks on Yanez's lead leg that has Adrian Yanez limping the whole fight even in the post-fight interview Adrian Yanez still is limping going outside the octagon, it was truly a great performance but I lost this one as well,

Christian Rodriguez VS Cameron Saaiman ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST

This was a close fight for sure either fighter could win in my opinion actually it was an amazing fight for sure and for sure Cameron Saaiman did all that he could do for sure but Christian Rodriguez made 3 takedowns for sure that controlled the fight for him to get most of the strike for sure controlling most of it in this fight,

The result of my bet and prediction for sure I was really frustrated about this,

Sodiq Yusuff (1.57) VS Edson Barboza (2.35) - LOST


For sure the 1st round was great for Sadiq Yusuff he almost knockout Edson Barbosa and pressured him with his boxing, but Edson Barbosa managed to hang on from all the barrage he was taking from Yusuff but for sure Edson Barbosa in round 2 clearly recovered, and was going now with his kicks and right now Yusuff movement has now slowed down in this pace, for me Sadiq Yusuff have landed more strikes than Edson even though Edson Barbosa got many takedowns than Yusuff he still manages to win this fight for sure I thought that Sadiq Yusuff won this fight but Barbosa return back on the initial rounds,

Jonathan Martinez (1.85) VS Adrian Yanez (1.92) - LOST


For sure Jonathan Martinez's low kicks have put some neat damage to Adrian Yanez's lead leg and Yanez was hopping into desperation inside the octagon because of those low kicks even though the fight was settled Adrian Yanez was still limping in the post-interview surely I was wrong again because it was a master class performance for Jonathan Martinez,
 
Christian Rodriguez (1.63) VS Cameron Saaiman (2.23) - LOST


This was a close fight for sure and it could also go the other way but Christian Rodriguez surely has the control for sure Rodriguez shot 6 takedowns but 3 has got Saaiman down for sure while Cameron Saaiman shot 5 takedowns not for sure it was a close fight both entered the fight with no losses at all but for sure they already taken care about this but for sure it was a lost for me again

If fighters are to vote though, they'd rather want USADA out of the picture for they are just taking cuts of the money they are making. These are just groups of guys out there much like the mafia wanted to control Uncle Fester. But USADA is not going to be just a pushover. I think Dana has to call out his best lawyers and politicians from high places.

Edson Barbosa looks very muscular but he is 37 years old. It's kind of a fair fight, the event is not for a title fight this is sort of a regular fight night.

Surely this is very suspicious and many speculated that the UFC had intended this just for Conor McGregor to have a fight it is pretty suspicious indeed and just for McGregor they are filing a case against the USADA and USADA is filing a case for the UFC as well,

Edson Barbosa is freakishly huge and sure at his age, he looks super strong for with that body physique he has now for me, it is not because of the body physique and mass that a fighter can win alone surely but Sodiq Yusuff for me has great boxing for sure and he is pretty much technical going for this fight in my opinion if he can become active with the output for sure for me Sodiq Yusuff will win this,

But right now I really don't know what may happen if USADA splits with the UFC but for sure the UFC has ready themselves and announced that they will have their personal Drug testing for their fighters,

USADA had announced in a statement earlier than president Dana White intended they would not longer be doing the drug testing for fighters.
So of course this had made alot of noise by fighters in the past who were cut out competing in the UFC made their voices heard. Especially Mcgregor.

Edson Barboza had a photo a month ago showing how big he can get and at his age had people wondering if he was on the same training regiment as the Notorious one.


With the next UFC Vegas 81 starting in about 7-8 hours from now, there was a fight which had been scheduled to happen due to a controversial stoppage ending in a no contest was cancelled right after the weigh-ins:
https://cagesidepress.com/2023/10/13/ufc-vegas-81-loses-edgar-chairez-daniel-lacerda

The cancelation wasn't due to either fighter missing weight but due to a non-disclosed medical condition for Lacerda.

It is surely a surprising turn of events and no one really expected the replacement for Charles Oliveira if Alexander Volkonovski is not prepared why does he accept the fight sure he is aware of the power of Islam Makhachev but for sure he is also aware that going into this fight Islam Makhachev is also preparing for a different fighter so he doesn't have time to prepare for a Volkanovski fight for sure,

While the Khamzat Chimaev VS Paulo Costa for sure another fight that has a fighter who is constantly leaving and canceling the fight just because of something and sure Paulo Costa is number 1 good at it,

---

Right now this fight will surely be early without us knowing about it so here is my bet and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Yusuff vs. Barboza

Sodiq Yusuff VS Edson Barboza

The stake odds for this fight are 1.57 for Yusuff and 2.35 for Barboza, this fight could be a banger it will be a sure striking match as both fighters are striking and in this fight, it will be a boxer versus a kicker for sure but for me, if Sodiq Yusuff can pressure with punches against Edson Barboza he can be in an advantage because Yusuff has a decent boxing for sure as Barbosa is mainly about kicks, but for sure in this fight I will be betting for Sodiq Yusuff,

Jonathan Martinez VS Adrian Yanez

The stake odds for this fight are 1.85 for Martinez and 1.92 for Yanez, now this fight will be so close for sure as I agree with the odds for sure anything can happen in this fight for sure Jonathan Martinez has a good-sounding kick and he can also get a good grappling with this fight but for me Adrian Yanez has the power and the accuracy for that shots for sure Yanez has the great accuracy on those strikes and a mistake for Martinez could be a counter for Yanez for sure so my pick is Adrian Yanez,

Christian Rodriguez VS Cameron Saaiman

The stake odds for this fight are 1.63 for Rodriguez and 2.23 for Saaiman, actually just because you got the better of Raul Rosas doesn't mean he can likely win this fight for sure Christian Rodriguez has a decent takedown defense as shown by their fight against Rosas, but Cameron Saaiman, in my opinion, doesn't need to worry about Rodriguez takedown defense because he can surely finish this fight in the stand-up and in my opinion Cameron Saaiman is an undefeated fighter and for sure he is a better prospect here, for me I surely like the underdog here and I may risk this but I really got a gut feeling about this so my pick is Cameron Saaiman,

For sure it was all thanks to Alexander Volkanovski that we are having a much juicier fight right now I am really excited about this card and it could go south for Islam Makhachev if this is still the same Alexander Volkanovski that we saw last time they fight for sure he doesn't have enough time to prepare for Makhachev, but looking at his fight last time for sure, Volkanovski real want this fight and he doesn't like what is the result last time, so yeah Makhachev out strike him for sure

---

Now going with the event right now here is my pick and prediction for the fight right now,

Sodiq Yusuff (1.57) VS Edson Barboza (2.35)


This is going to be a classic match for sure between two strikers and Sodiq Yusuff sure has some great boxing that could be very accurate with his punch while Barbosa has a good combination of kicks and punch but for sure those kicks need to be checked by Yusuff for sure and he can not underestimate that on Barboza's part for sure his age will give a bad impression for him that he might lose this fight and so I am going with Sodiq Yusuff,

Jonathan Martinez (1.85) VS Adrian Yanez (1.92)


For this fight, Jonathan Martinez has solid striking as well but Adrian Yanez has a decent accuracy for sure this is the real banger of a fight, and sure it could end in a close 1, but for this match, I really like Adrian Yanez's style and adding his accuracy to his arsenal for sure my pick is Adrian Yanez,

Christian Rodriguez (1.63) VS Cameron Saaiman (2.23)


Now for this fight, I do not really believe this card odds even though Christian Rodriguez defeated Raul Rosas Jr. for sure it is a decent fight Rodriguez has a great takedown defense because of his fight with Raul Rosas Jr. but surely Rosas has said he is not feeling well that time if I am not mistaken, but it was a lost to Rosas, but for me, I really like the undefeated kid, for sure he likely have a decent chin in every of his fight so my pick is Cameron Saaiman,

UFC Vegas 81

Sodiq Yusuff: 'He Is A Legend' | UFC Vegas 81.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzlDpDgzMSQ
This guy is just smiling throughout the whole interview. Very optimistic, with no hate in his blood. I kind of like him and I may bet for him. The easy part is, he is the favorite so for those who are always picking the favorites, this won't be a hard choice.

Here are the odds for the fight.

Yusuff, Sodiq | Winner @1.58 | By KO @3.40 | By Submission @5.60 | By Decision @3.60|
Barboza, Edson | Winner @2.33 | By KO @3.10 | By Submission @21.00 | By Decision @7.60|

It looks like most analysts think this fight will be up to the judges by looking at the odds that were given. A chance for Sodiq to get the submission because of his grappling skills and Barboza as favorite with the KO.

When Sodiq was asked about how he see this fight ending, he said "I see it ending with a finish, to be honest."

These last few UFC main events of the year are up in the air for who the main card opponents are going to be.
Was just watching something earlier yesterday about how Volkanovski was going to fight Topuria for the beginning of new year. But now hearing from the post conference interview of the Contender Series last night it seems that he will be the replacement fighter for the UFC 294 event.
Even the fight against Paulo Costa doesn't seem to be going forward as it doesn't look as if he will be fully healed enough after having surgery on his elbow so from the looks of that replacement fighter Kamaru Usman is primed to take on the challenge.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10093051-kamaru-usman-vs-khamzat-chimaev-fight-set-for-ufc-294-after-paulo-costas-surgery

As reported on ESPN twitter feed later today:
https://twitter.com/espnmma/status/1712203765074333817

At such short notice, Volkanovski could have refused this. Can he even hit the weight requirement in 10 days? Well, It wouldn't be the first in UFC.
While I wish Volkanovski to win, it might just be difficult to achieve.

Meanwhile, Costa is chickening out.
If Costa will not be able to fight Khamzat, I think the rematch of Burns vs Khamzat will not be the worse option rather than dragging Rakhmonov vs Khamzat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obr8rPfmNgI&ab_channel=UFC

BIG news as Charles oliveira is confirmed out for the fight vs Makhachev , volkanovski is fighting on 10 days notice.
Makhachev has opened at 1.4 odds , i expect it to go down to  1.33 maybe.

Dana is not happy with charles not contacting UFC and getting himself stitched without informing them, i suspect it might be a while before we see charles fight again in UFC 

Huge respect to Volkanovski for taking this fight at only 10 days notice,ill put 10 bucks on him just because

Anyone else see something about Paulo Costa getting surgery on his arm?
Glanced over something about it earlier yesterday and was thinking this meant another cancelled fight for him.
Luckily I mistaken and it doesn't seem to affect his next scheduled fight with Khamzat:

Something about the next UFC Vegas 81 during the weekend.
Edson Barboza is in the main event and remember seeing something around a month ago to start the hype machine on this fighter with a photo of him training:
https://www.mmamania.com/2023/9/19/23880914/tattletale-ufc-fans-tag-usada-snitch-suddenly-swole-edson-barboza-training-with-conor-mcgregor-mma

Edson is 37 years old and looks better than most fighters in their 20's are of course going to get these sorts of mentions on their socials.
He has fought the likes of Dan Hooker, Bobby Green and even Khabib so this fighter is among one of the best there is.

Yup! It was a big win for Bobby Green for sure and I really don't want to risk it on Green because he is older but he has proven that I am wrong Bobby Green is a true veteran and really knows what he is doing, for sure he is not that tired because he doesn't do so much against Grant Dawson and he doesn't make any damage against Bobby Green and for sure Bobby Green wanting to fight more fights up to December he surely knows he doesn't have enough time that he can do this forever for sure he knows that

For sure because of what he did against Grant Dawson for sure the UFC will give him a higher ranking fight next for sure,


For sure Dana White will give something to Bobby Green for this incredible win plus the $50,000 bonus to Green for the Performance of the night Joe Pyfer also got the $50,000 G, Drew Dober, and Nate Maness all got the $50G because of their performance, and because of this win Bobby Green might get to the top just like what Glover Texeira did even with his older age,

For sure it was an upset Grant Dawson has the better odds for sure but Bobby Green has got him and if you people bet for Bobby Green with your million amount or a large amount nearing a million then you can be a millionaire if you have risk it to Bobby Green,

Now that the UFC Fight Night: Dawson vs. Green has been settled I think we are ready for the next one,

UFC Fight Night 228 - Multi-Master Challenge: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-fight-night-230-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5469777

Bobby King Green with the 32 second knockout in the first round was a shocker and made him the dark horse to look out for in the division.
He called out somebody to fight in December as he wants to headline a fight before the end of the year as you had mentioned.
It is all in the post fight conference video as shown here:
UFC Vegas 80: Post-Fight Press Conference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wYh7AuZ8Gs

Very impressive win and checked his line right before the fight began and he was all the way up to 5.00x to win.
With those who were lucky enough they grabbed the 1st round @17.00x and the KO win @9.30x which were juicy odds for a guy nobody thought would win because he was an aging fighter who is 40 against an opponent who won something like 10 in a row from what I recall before the bout.

The biggest upset in the UFC was the Pena vs Nunes fight where she won the title from the Lioness.
From what I remember her odds to win were something nuts like 8x because Nunes title defense was flawless.

He said he wants to fight in December and he wants to be the fighter that has the most fights this year. The dude doesn't want to rest.  
I love that straight left, there's not much power in it but it took Dawson down, the timing was right, and he planted it at the right position too which is what made Dawson fall. From that moment, it's obvious that it's over.
But the hype about Bobby "King" Green is not over yet, many MMA fighters reacted to the surprising win because it's also one of the biggest upsets in the sport. @1.20 for Dawson. Do you guys remember how much was it for Green? Edit: Oh sorry, I see above, it's @4.60. Big win for the high risk takers.

Sure, Dana White should give him another fight because he is just so entertaining to watch and I think it will boost more audience who are expecting another "One Punch Man" KO. More money for Dana.

Dawson vs Green seems one of the upsets in UFC where Green can be proud of. For once he did something that we can remember about him. It's a surprise to see him shine at his age he defeated one of the top 10 fighters who excel in grappling.  He's going to fight once again among the top 10, Dana should give the old dog another chance.

Just like Derrick Lewis, he did his best to keep his place in the UFC but he will soon be fighting someone tougher than Dawson.

Great winning actually even though our prediction for the Grant Dawson VS Bobby Green fight and Dawson didn't do much against their fight for sure Bobby Green did well in this fight and I was also surprised by it, for sure Bobby Green now deserves a much higher opponent and he better get it now that he is still has power,

Results for my picks and prediction for the latest UFC event,

Grant Dawson (1.20) VS Bobby Green (4.60) - LOST


For sure many were surprised with the result and this was an upset for Grant Dawson with just 1 left punch the fight was all over for sure just like what you have said it was really unusual for Dawson to do such things saluting Bobby Green and getting the best out from this fight it was for sure Bobby Green is the one that is putting a lot of pressure against Dawson, Green was constantly moving forward while Grant Dawson was moving backward, and yes Dawson didn't see that upcoming straight left punch from Bobby Green,

Joe Pyfer (1.27) VS Abdul Razak Alhassan (3.85) - WIN


WOW! Just WOW! Joe Pyfer at the beginning of round 1 just shot a takedown out of nowhere just like what Khamzat Chimaev did with Kevin Holland but Abdul Razak Alhassan is ready with his takedown defense even though Pyfer's pressure with his standing is just supreme Alhassan is backing up from it, for sure he got a hard time with Pyfer for sure, but because of Pyfer's long reach he can surely control Alhassan grappling for sure it is Joe Pyfer's win when he get that Submission on Alhassan, that power that Pyfer showcase when he hoist Alhassan and then getting him in the ground for a Tringle Choke what power,

Alex Morono (2.47) VS Joaquin Buckley (1.55) - WIN


For this fight, Joaquin Buckley is surely Dominating the fight from start to finish, his stand-up is superb against Alex Morono because Morono was backed by the pressure that Joaquin Buckley was emitting sure he could not takedown Buckley for sure and he knows that but surely Joaquin Buckley is there and getting ready at Morono even though the fight was a decision win for Buckley it was really evident who really won the fight,

The results of my bet and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Dawson vs. Green

Grant Dawson VS Bobby Green ROUND 1 KO/TKO - LOST

It looks like Grant Dawson isn't himself going into the fight he is weird going against Bobby Green for sure and I was really shocked that 1 punch is what Bobby Green needed to finish off Grant Dawson, At the beginning of the fight Bobby Green immediately went on the middle of the cage and Dawson just backing up from him showing he is dominant and from that, the punch that Bobby Green brings out Grant Dawson didn't see it and it was really a deadly punch if you can see the punch Grant Dawson didn't even go for a takedown and tried the waters it was a clear win for Bobby Green,

Alex Morono VS Joaquin Buckley ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

Joaquin Buckley already showed his power to Alex Morono from the standing he showed that he was the dominant one with the standings you can clearly see from his movement and he even goes with the takedown while Alex Morono is really Hesitant but surely Morono even went into an armbar but failed and even with a guillotine and also failed you can clearly see the level of defense Joaquin Buckley inside the ring so for sure he clearly won the fight for sure, Alex Morono is constantly backing from Buckley every time Buckley is moving forward,

Karolina Kowalkiewicz VS Diana Belbita ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

For me, it was a close match so Kudos to these two fighters but Karolina Kowalkiewicz has gotten the upper hand in this fight from the standings even though it looks close Karolina Kowalkiewicz did manage a clean shot against Belbita for sure the judges have called this fight right and manage to score it for Karolina Kowalkiewicz,

He is not really Star material which is why the UFC hasn't given him any Main events in the past maybe this is his break but I really doubt as his opponent was Grant Dawson who is a explosive fighter for me Bobby Green was defeated in here maybe in the Different Combat Sports Company he will be lucky to have gotten a belt

For that Car Accident part, it was later revealed that it was a suicide attempt and Victoria Lee who died was the sister of the Girl who got into that car accident Angela Lee, well pretty much looked the same as they were sisters, on the part of the Death of Victoria Lee it was not announce or revealed what is the cause of her death but Speculation have risen that it could be Suicide because of the later post of Angela Lee,

---

Now getting into the UFC Event this is my late picks and prediction

Grant Dawson (1.20) VS Bobby Green (4.60)


For this fight, Bobby Green is a great athlete for sure and has a great takedown defense and Striking he might have a stand-up advantage against Grant Dawson for sure but for this fight, if Grant Dawson can bring this to the ground Bobby Green will be having a hard time defending there which I really think Dawson can pull up he could get the back of Green then this is over so my pick is Grant Dawson,

Joe Pyfer (1.27) VS Abdul Razak Alhassan (3.85)


For this fight, Joe Pyfer looks huge and surely much larger than Razak Alhassan, and for me, Pyfer has better striking and a ground game for sure going into this fight but Abdul Razak Alhassan has the power to knock out his opponent getting that 12 KO wins but for sure Pyfer is definitely has a better wrestling he could easily take Alhassan into the ground and control him in there for sure I will be going into a well-rounded guy, and that is Joe Pyfer,


Alex Morono (2.47) VS Joaquin Buckley (1.55)


For this fight I think Joaquin Buckley can out-strike Morono For me Buckley has huge power output with his punches and if he catches Morono with it this will be over, for sure Alex Morono will be very keen on getting this into the ground but my take is if he can bring it because Buckley has a great takedown defense and this could be a very difficult time for Morono for sure so my pick is Joaquin Buckley,
