My bet and prediction for the event UFC Fight Night: Almeida vs. Lewis,

Jailton Almeida VS Derrick Lewis

The odds for this fight are 1.20 for Almeida and 4.70 for Lewis for this fight Derrick Lewis can surely put Almeida to sleep with just 1 shot, and if he does a takedown if Lewis can time it correctly he can follow up with a knee, but if Jailton Almeida can be faster than Lewis we can see a Derrick Lewis struggling in the ground with Jailton Almeida, because Derrick Lewis is not a technical fighter so this will be a win for Almeida in my opinion so for sure I will be going with Jailton Almeida,

Gabriel Bonfim VS Nicolas Dalby

The odds for this fight are 1.16 for Bonfim and 5.20 for Dalby for this fight Nicolas Dalby isn't that smooth but for sure this fight will be a close one for sure for Gabriel Bonfim has good striking and great grappling he can use when striking is pretty much not in favor for him, and because Gabriel Bonfim is more well-rounded than Nicolas Dalby my bet is for Gabriel Bonfim,

Caio Borralho VS Abus Magomedov

The odds for this fight are 1.34 for Borralho and 3.30 for Magomedov, For this fight Abus Magomedov has an upset against Sean Strickland, and for sure Strickland exposed Abus Magomedov in their recent right for sure Abus Magomedov is a great fighter he got the striking for sure but for me, Magomedov is not that fast but for sure Caio Borrailho is much faster than Magomedov, for me Caio Borrailho wrestling for me is much superior than Magomedov,

Here are my picks for the UFC Fight Night Almeida vs. Lewis event

Jailton Almeida (1.20) VS Derrick Lewis (4.70)


Many have thought that Derrick Lewis could not make the fight because he was arrested for speeding, but I think his strength will not be too depleted because of that, Almeida is sloppy shooting a takedown so there is still a possibility for Derrick Lewis to take that chance to TKO Almeida but I guess Jailton Almeida can quickly shoot a takedown and take Lewis on the ground fast enough, so it is clear on who is my pick and that is Jailton Almeida

Gabriel Bonfim (1.16) VS Nicolas Dalby (5.20)


For me, Gabriel Bonfim had great striking he could finish his opponent with his strike but when his stand-up gets complicated his grappling is not just a walk in the part, while Nicolas Dalby might have a great record he was briefly taken to the ground as well for sure Gabriel Bonfim can easily defeat Dalby for sure so my pick is Gabriel Bonfim,

Rodrigo Nascimento (1.52) VS Don'Tale Mayes (2.55)


Rodrigo Nascimento has already beaten Don'Tale Mayes in this fight  Don'Tale Mayes has the reach advantage and has power in his punch but for this fight Rodrigo Nascimento  is well-rounded he had great boxing combination and could also get the fight to the ground just like their 1st fight so for me there is really nothing that will be changing on the outcome of the fight so for sure Rodrigo Nascimento will still win this fight for sure so my pick is Rodrigo Nascimento ,

For sure Jon Jones is a different build fighter than Stipe Miocic so for this fight, if it was not canceled I would surely go with Jon Jones for sure because I have gone with Cyril Gane on his 1st fight with the UFC I have never expected that Jon Jones will be winning against Cyril Gane, but if Stipe Miocic fight Jon Jones I really think that he will never be going to have a chance winning against Jones and all Stipe Miocic wants are the money for sure,

But we are having a great fight next as the fight was changed to a juicier event, of Tom Aspinal VS Sergei Pavlovich for me is a much-awaited fight for sure,


I was really frustrated by the result of that fight and because it was the wrong call of the referee and the doctor I was sure it was their fault that I didn't get a win or a loss for that fight if Magomed Ankalaev had won Then all of my bet wins and if Johnny Walker could also win this which has some possibility then I will still be OK even if I lost but getting an exciting fight into a no contest is really frustrating,

For sure the fight will continue because Derrick Lewis was out and was in his initial interview with the press, hilariously saying that the arrest was not him because the arrested has black hair and he is bald and has no hair, for sure it was really Hilarious and the interviewer didn't really get what he is trying to say but if you look at the arrest records the Driver has indicated that his Hair was Black, here is the image



here is the individual interview for the fighters,

It's just a few days left. Dana is already regretting extending his term. If it weren't for that flying knee, he wouldn't be in UFC anymore.
I've read about it, he denied it and said it wasn't him. He doesn't look like he drives a Lambo but yup looks can be deceiving.

The fight will probably push through after all he was just driving fast, he didn't crash and hit someone nor was he intoxicated. Being the main event in the next UFC fight night must have excite him that much and so he drove like crazily. 

Derrick Lewis got arrested for speeding in his Lamborgini after driving 136 mph or almost 220 kmh in 50 mph zone 
This could result in main event being changed, as they have to travel to  Sao Paulo, Brazil, but even if he goes to Brazil this will have bad affect on him for sure.
UFC didnt post any official announcement about this, but expect to hear something soon.

^
For me, that was a robbery and Francis Ngannou should have won that fight but anyway here is the Next UFC Fight Night and the Almeida vs. Lewis fight

Too many people are saying he was robbed though and all because of the knockdown. Obviously, it was the highlight of that fight. No one expects it but it's been in the discussion everywhere even in the politics channel, Ngannou was being talked about.

Francis proved himself regardless of the outcome though. And he gained a lot in his fight with Fury which I think is the most important of all. I think his fight with Deontay Wilder is on the way too. All Francis wanted was to fight outside UFC. Now he's been promoted to the baddest fighter that is in PFL. He got what he wanted.

That's what I will say too just to avoid more criticism. Lack of response? That's the safest response for that fight. What does the fans want to hear from him? That Ngannou was robbed?

Why do people really think that Ngannou won that fight? That cannot happen or else it will ruin the boxing industry. Plus, in terms of jabs and punches landed, Fury threw more and Ngannou didn't. He is more idle waiting for the big punch opportunity which was successful but only once. That doesn't mean he will win everything with one knockdown. Too much hyped.

Jon Jones's statement is the perfect one. He did great and it opens a door for fighters who want to switch their careers to boxing. Many UFC fighters are strong punchers and Ngannou proved that in that fight but it doesn't mean you can win in one trial. He will need to train more but the problem is he is 37 years old so there's not much time left in his career in boxing.

UFC Fight Night on Saturday.
Jailton Almeida versus Derrick Lewis

Here is a Free Fight from the UFC channel Jailton Almeida vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik to refresh us.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJY0ORCAWHE

It does seem to be a common occurrence as of late with the last fights of the year.
It seemed to work in UFC's favor because many said they of rather see both co-main and the main event the way they happened.

For Pavlovich you can't sleep on Aspinall as he won the last main event in dominating fashion.

Not having UFC this week is alright since we still have a former UFC fighter still fighting in a different arena.
Looks like he is doing good in his new sport.

For me, Kamaru should have taken an easy fight but for sure the UFC will certainly be choosing who he is going to fight that is for sure I guess he can surely challenge and pick an easy fight for himself, and now that he has 3 consecutive fights and might be down in the rankings again, maybe an opportunity for him to get an easy fight this time, for me after showing great performance against Chimaev for sure Kamara Usman could still get this maybe 2 more fights and winning those fight then hit the road maybe into another ranked fight just to test if he can still get it going or maybe retired for good,


I think he stated in the post-interview that he did this for his family so for sure many will speculate it as Alexander Volkanovski is doing this fight because of his family and saying that he isn't training much is just something that he is saying just to make excused if he lost this fight which is just really that in my opinion, which is not really wrong or it is really OK with his fans,


This is really shocking watching the interview with Johnny Walker on the Helwani Podcast I think Johnny Walker has said the correct answer but the doctor doesn't give a damn about it and considered it as a wrong answer, which I think Johnny was just being Johnny and is playful with his words and in the heat of the battle for sure Johnny Walker is still processing what has really happened, but surely Magomed Ankalaev should review the rules for the UFC and giving a knee to the downed opponent, for sure this rule should just kick the bucket,

Another crazy moment that made fighters decide on short notice. The sad part is that it's the most awaited since the Jon Jones fight, the main event that was canceled. People book all because of this man.

Dana likes these short-notice fights already and it's kinda giving surprises to the bettors when you are to see 2 weeks' notice and unsure what to expect about the health of the fighters.

Gotta choose Pavlovich.

@cabron that could also be a possibly because from what I watched he was losing the fight but to what he said during the above interview he thought he was on his way to winning it.

Some major news just rang up in the past two hours with UFC 295 the next main event card.
https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/38739073/jon-jones-fight-vs-stipe-miocic-ufc-295-due-injury

Some immediate reactions to the entire main event card getting up hauled:
https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/10/25/23931352/reaction-jon-jones-vs-stipe-miocic-off-ufc-295-new-interim-title-bout-booked

There is no update yet on whether he is going to be paid well?  Dana doesn't simply do that, he may want to make a rematch for the two and offer the big reward. That's what he always does just like he offers Wonderboy a large sum for his next fight when Thompson refused to fight due to the 4lbs.

But now that you mention about schizophrenia, it sounds like he is up to something when the knee hits. It was however too late to pretend he was badly hurt as Victor Henry did and it would be a very obvious act so he was just pretending to be in some mental state hoping for disqualification.

You know that Walker has suffered from schizopherenia episodes in the past don't you?
He has talked about this during an interview before but has been treating it with mental exercises and medication.
So giving such as answer in a serious time like that is either unprofessional or a bout of his illness taking over since he just took a shot to the face causing him to see stars.
It is a strange one to call but hopefully what Dana said to him with the words "We will make it right" means he gets paid the way he deserves too. Since having mentioned he is in the red for this fight. Flying his whole team & family members there and the costs of this training camp for the past couple of months costs alot of money to do.
So if he doesn't get something out of his he just might be working at the local gas station to make ends meet.
So drinking bottles of apple juice with golden flakes in them doesn't seem to have been a smart thing to do while in Abu Dhabi when he looks back at it now after the fight's result.

That's true also maybe Walker was distracted by the noise and yup English isn't also his first language. I wouldn't say he is wrong when he answered he is in the desert though. But in times like that yet he is joking, the doctor will interpret it like he already is in a delirious state.

He is right when he says that whenever in a fight, everything you throw at your opponent is intentional. So he does have the right to complain but a NC despite the obvious knee, should also be a disqualification if Dana wants to make it right.  
In the short time they fight, one could say Walker did pretty well, playing possum is so Johny and it triggers Ankalaev like he wants Johny to pay for playing that way.

This was a very controversial call to the second fight made by the very same fight doctor who made the same conclusion about the Basharat fight.
Here is the video of Johnny Walker explaining what happened and what he heard from the doctor at that pivotal moment which ended the fight being a no contest. This was certainly the wrong call to make as english is not the first language of Walker nor the doctor according to him as he had a heavy accent. So of course it would be hard for him to understand exactly what he was asking him in a loud arena.

Aljo won the title this way from Petr Yan and look where he is now after this rule ruined his career in the UFC.
Why wasn't he given 5 minutes since taking an illegial blow under the belt would but not to the head?
It certainly doesn't make any sense whatsoever and so you are correct.

Volkanovski entered as a substitute on short notice. He wasn't prepared for the fight, he said it himself that he barely trained for the fight thinking he can do it without.
Some rumors circulated in the press that he needed the money because he just had a third child born and his mind was elsewhere.
The fight turned out to be much too easy for Makhachev. Not a good show, that's for sure.

Jones wasn't very effective until he landed the spinning elbow in the later rounds. This is a fight to actually look at that Jon can be defeated but this is in the early stages of his UFC career and the longer he stays in the industry the better he learns. If he is to fight someone with Gustafson's reach and fast hands, Jones may be able to weather it already and can find a way to eventually take down. I don't see Miocic can KO or hit a big shot to Jones.

Not yet gotten over by Volk's KO, there has to be another spectacular KO in 195. I'm going for Pereira, Sabatini, and Mackenzie.

For me, after what he has showcased against Khamzat Chimaev I really think he will keep on doing this, and I really think he still has it in him even though Khamzat Chimaev really won that match, but getting into the fight on short notice I really think that he still got it in him, for sure even though he doesn't been winning lately for sure he can win in one of a money fight he can also be a gatekeeper for challengers going for a title fight with the champion,


We will be taking a break this week but next week will be great fun for sure with the Heavyweight fight for me this is Jailton Almeida, VS Derrick Lewis, I like Jailton Almeida for sure is an interesting fight for sure, while Gabriel Bonfim versus Nicolas Dalby is another great fight in my opinion, and another fight on that card event was Caio Borralho VS Abus Magomedov well for me Borralho is an interesting fighter for sure while Abus was exposed by Sean Strickland for sure but this is an interesting one aswell, 

Well, this fight should be a Curtis Blaydes VS Jailton Almeida fight but because of Blaydes's Ankle Injury Derrick Lewis was the change fighter for sure and Caio Borralho vs. Nursulton Ruziboev but because of Ruziboev Withdrew from the fight and so Abus Magomedov was the change fighter, Daniel Santos VS Daniel Marcos but because of Santos Withdrawal and changed with Victor Hugo, Eduarda Moura vs. So Yul Kim with Kim Withdrawing on the fight and Montserrat Conejo Ruiz was the change fighter,
