Thanks, it was 2 out of 3 it should be a perfect 3 bet win but because of that leg injury of Rafael Fiziev it was all ruined but it doesn't matter at all at least I have gotten 2 wins and I know that Rafael Fiziev can win this but instead that injury happens it was a total fiasco,

---

Here are the results of my picks and predictions for this event,

Rafael Fiziev (1.64) VS Mateusz Gamrot (2.27) - LOST


Unfortunately, Rafael Fiziev got a leg injury it was a bad leg injury for sure that Mateusz Gamrot got crazy winning this thinking he 100% defeated Fiziev which is the Fool's way of thinking and now he thought he could go on against Charles Oliveira because of this win, he also thought that his defense was the one that damage Rafael Fiziev's leg which is a torn to the ACL which is not related to his defense at all, but not a great fight ending for sure,

Bryce Mitchell (1.48) VS Dan Ige (2.65) - WIN


Pretty much a close fight and it could be a 50/50 fight for sure but because of Mitchell's takedowns pretty much 5 successful takedowns for him which is might be the case why the judges scored like that and it was really great which is at least they are seeing the work with the ground game, and then the flat earther Bryce Mitchell is giving $5000 USD to Dan Ige for the spreading fire tragedy on Hawaii which is a pretty much great thing to do,

Marina Rodriguez (1.30) VS Michelle Waterson-Gomez (3.55) - WIN


Marina Rodriguez from start to finish was really dominant in the fight it was pretty much a one-sided fight for sure and comparing the damage each fighter received in this fight Marina Rodriguez is like there is not a scratch on her face while Michelle Waterson's face looks devastated it was brutally damage by Rodriguez for sure after this fight I think this is the 4th consecutive lost for Waterson she better think on retiring soon because for me I think she is not fitted to fight anymore,

Tempted to bet on Mitchell, Bryce By Submission 6.20 seems very likely that he may do it once again. The odds alone look profitable. 

Pimblett vs. Tony Ferguson is unbelievable. Dana not letting Tony retire is like punishing the elderly. But because Pimblett is annoying, it wouldn't be bad to cheer for Tony for the last time and I hope he retires after this job is done.  Pimblett will still be booed if ever he wins the fight.

Solid picks made for tonight's UFC Fight Night Main Event tonight @owengtam09 !

Have the exact same selections for my UFC parlay I have for those fights along with a few over/under rounds so best of luck to us both!

There was also another announcement of a major bout for the upcoming UFC 296 recently:
Paddy the baddy Pimblett versus Tony Ferguson

Here are my picks for the UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Gamrot

Rafael Fiziev (1.64) VS Mateusz Gamrot (2.27)


For this fight, I light Rafael Fiziev's style, and even though Mateusz Gamrot had a wrestling advantage Fiziev has a great takedown defense for sure Fiziev has the power in his strikes even though Mateusz Gamrot's wrestling is initially what striker's weakness and can surely shoot 20 takedowns a fight and the seamless timing in his takedowns but for this fight, Gamrot needs a better set-up with the Striking and if he can not do that against Fiziev then Rafael Fiziev can take him out instantly because Fiziev can hit like a truck and knocks out Gamrot quickly, so my pick is Rafael Fiziev,

Bryce Mitchell (1.48) VS Dan Ige (2.65)


For this fight, I like Bryce Mitchell here and as many know wrestling can control the pure striking fighters this match is surely like that Bryce Mitchell will be constantly shooting takedowns for sure and will aim for a better angle with those and create as opening for his takedowns as well Dan Ige is well rounded and even got a takedown defense but I think it is not enough for Bryce Mitchell so my pick here are Bryce Mitchell,

Marina Rodriguez (1.30) VS Michelle Waterson-Gomez (3.55)


The Rematch that nobody asked for her lost against Virna Jandiroba because Jandiroba wrestled Marina Rodriguez in that fight but for this fight, I really think that this rematch will be the same as their 1st one and Marina Rodriguez has a more solid and can surely pressure Michelle Waterson in this fight so for sure this is going to be the same as their 1st one so I have not much to say so my pick is Marina Rodriguez,

Jiri is coming off the shoulder injury and the last time I had seen him was on his socials hiking up a snow covered mountain so you know this was still winter and going into the spring season. Which was quite a while ago.
Jamahal Hill even went to his social media, the one who gave up his championship title due to not fighting to defend it, to say something along the lines of: "Keep the title warm for the king!"
Now that is quite funny from this guy who was crying on his livestream sobbing about how he can't defend his title.

They were saying on a show I was viewing that if Poatan can defeat Jiri then that would be a remarkable redemption arc for Glover Teixeira.
The guy who Jiti beat in the octagon then went on to train Pereira who then goes on to defeat Jiri.
You can't make this stuff up!

@eaLiTy I completely agree with you there.
This is Colby's one and only shot for the title since all the fighters who he had fought in his career have retired I believe except for a hand full.
The era of Covington and his Make America Great Again! is getting quite tired and old to tolerate any longer.
If we as UFC fans want to move forward and look whats on ahead for US!

The fight promotion would be crazy as Colby will talk a lot of smack before the event and this will be probably the last opportunity for Colby to get a title shot.

Overall the Mexican fans loves fighting, be it Boxing or MMA and Noche event was conducted during Mexican independence day and the viewership was record breaking and hence he mentioned he will be putting up a fight card during every Mexican day from here on every year.

Raúl Rosas is really young, just 18 years old and he has the potential but was disappointed with the way he struggled against Christian Rodriguez in his previous fight where he was unable to do anything offensive and even struggled on the ground, he needs to improve in certain positions and earn his experience in fight game before putting him against specialist or even the top ranked fighters.   

2 events that should not be missed. First time I saw the line-up of fighters in both events and it's amazing. Let's see if Leon Edwards could now dominate a fight and prove that he is worthy of that title or if Colby will take it away from him.

I watched and listened to that interview with Dana White about the 10-8 thing and I think he has a point about that. But I like the fact that he is focusing on how much fans supported the Noche UFC event and he wants to repeat it. Mexican fans love their fighters and we saw that also in boxing when Canelo fought in his hometown against Ryder.
Now that Dana knows this fact, he said he will definitely repeat it and next time it will be in Mexico which I think will be pouring with Mexican supporters.
Again, more money for boss Dana.
Also, he said Raul Rosas Jr. gained more audience in online and television views than the other fights so he will definitely be in that event again. I like that young fighter and he definitely makes the crowd want to watch him more.

He just got into this division and he is already up to fight again after a few months. Pereira is relentless and the fighters he fights are getting so much worse. Dana is not making it easy for Pereira though. Jiri is too much for him. But if he defeats Jiri, there might be lots who will challenge him.

For the easy win, you just have to try on the crowd's favorite fighter. Jones, I guess you will have to bet an enormous amount to profit.

Some very huge news which released for the already big UFC fight coming in Novemeber:

Also Leon Edwards vs Colby Covington for UFC 296 is going to make this the biggest last few months of UFC Main Events of the year!

Dana White's announcement: https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1704681008375943354

For me, it was sure close 1 even in their 1st meeting I really think that Valentina Shevchenko was a formidable opponent and for me, Shevchenko might have won if she hadn't underestimated Grasso back then, I think this is the case and now on their 2nd meeting Alexa Grasso now have increased her limit back then now that she feels Shevchengko's strength, While for me I think Grasso can defend Erin Blanchfield for sure, I really think that Grasso has great wrestling now for sure she can defend the takedowns and submission of Blanchfield, and for sure if Grasso wants another fight before the rematch then I think the UFC can likely be doing it,

Actually, just like you, I still don't know who's going to win I am currently watching the previous fight for the two fighters for sure and will surely give a breakdown on what I have seen,


Well, you are right that Alexa Grasso had a fine takedown defense for sure I really think that she still wasn't taken down, but I think that her stand-up is already refined, I really think that she can bust a striking and be on an advantage over Shevchenko for sure, but Manon is a great fighter that might give her problem for sure but Grasso is a thinking fighter so there is still a chance for her to make necessary precautions for sure,

I completely agree with you that Grasso would not be able to handle Fiorot with her takedown defense alone.
Think she hasn't only been taken down once in her UFC career and this is where Alexa does her work on the ground. Also she wouldn't be able to stand and punch with Manon. As we had seen in her last fight with Namajunas.

Watched a bit of the UFC Contender series last night because there wasn't much to watch for sports.
And the CEO of the UFC commented on the last main event and how the judge was in the wrong with his scorecard:
Dana White - "The Judge that scored it a 10-8 should be investigated!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnfCNM2NbPM

Grasso will be praying for at least someone else of her picking. A defense sure-win fight will be a good rest for her to feel like a real champ. Blanchfield will do. She might be able to beat her, she got away from Shevchenko's strangulation using the fence which was quite remarkable. But she might not defeat Fiorot. Either of the 2 prospects, Dana will still be happy for these fights. And even if Grasso loses, the demand for Shevchenko's trilogy will still be high.

Rafael Fiziev vs. Mateusz Gamrot will end in a KO. This is hard to predict but exciting to see a match that might just be the fight of the night as well.
Sportsbookies should have this bet where we can pick which one would be the Fight of the night.

For Sure deep inside Alexa Grasso was thinking that she was just lucky that she won against Valentina Shevchenko in their 2nd bout and will need to prepare more for their next fight because for sure she can not handle the pressure as well, and Valentina Shevchenko is furious with the result yet again, for sure she wants an immediate rematch,

While Raul Rosas Jr. was just 18 and has proven that he has a bright future in the UFC for sure he wants a much greater fight now with that outstanding showcase of strength for sure that this kid will have a bright future,

I like how you keep calling her Gross-o kind of like Steve-o from that jack-ass series two decades ago.
Having a draw in a main event card had happened before but for a title is nothing anybody wanted to see.
I liked the post fight interview with Daniel Cormier where she was saying how hard they worked to win this fight and he just looked at her and said "But it was a draw!". Pretty certain somebody made a meme on this and put it up on social media already.

Dana White definitely wanted it to end this way since they will make alot more in the next fight making it the main card for a UFC event. As this one was on ESPN Fight Night and a non-PPV event.

He sure is. Predicting a draw in UFC is not something that normally happens. It ain't FIFA. Someone will either go down, submit, or a point difference will happen. I doubt someone put a bet on the "draw".
I listened to this yesterday because I want to know what Grasso is thinking about if ever that question of a "trilogy" pops out. And it did.
Her answer ain't sure yet but she ain't going to flee about it too. She also talked about giving chances to other women fighters who are working hard and trying to have a shot for the title belt. I bet Grasso wants to fight another fighter before she meets Shevchenko again, more like a preparation or an addition to her experience so she will be better when they face each other.
But, when a lot of money will be presented, I also doubt her camp can just say "No" to it. 

Anyway, the unforgettable part on that card is Raul Rosas Jr. Damn, that kid has a lot of firepower in his fists. 18 years old and he will definitely have a good future in the UFC.

Well because of the Wrestling but in this fight because it was a close one we can surely say that Kevin Holland might win this aswell It was a split decision after all, but because he surely didn't manage to get those takedowns properly and Jack Della Maddalena stop it and Holland did give-up in trying it out again, it was really a bad choice for him not to try and takedown again, but it was a split decision so maybe a rematch? or maybe Della Maddalena will eventually just move on with this,


Still be betting on Alexa Grasso her camp will surely make preparations and Adjustments on how the new Valentina Shevchenko fights, and that will be her fighting game for the third time, and will let Shevchenko ripe her muscles up in a further future fight for sure as you have said the Draw result is pretty much rare so there are no one that might bet on it but if this is football that is frequently will happen, for sure the third fight will be much exciting because of this result,

---

THE RESULT OF MY BET

For sure it would be a trilogy fight but because Valentina Shevchenko is not really a technical fighter like Grasso she still manages to get damaged by Alexa Grasso I really admit that It is really a Valentina Shevchenko win for this match but the judge is very controversial with his score of 10 - 8 for the 5th round this really needs investigation but as far as UFC is concern they are not really concerned about this, and their solution will be a trilogy fight, for sure,

The result of my bet and prediction for the Grasso VS Shevchenko Fight

Alexa Grasso (2.37) VS Valentina Shevchenko (1.57) - DRAW


Well, the fight was a draw and Alexa Grasso was still the champion but even though I liked that Alexa Grasso was still the champion I was really confused about the result surely Shevchenko also did a great job in getting those takedowns and those heavy hits she even got 1 round for herself but I am not really an expert in analyzing the fight but for sure it was really a close one and they say that Mike Bell had a controversial judging because he gave a 10 - 8  score on the 5th round for Alexa Grasso but if he gives a 10 - 9 score the championship belt will definitely go to Valentina Shevchenko for sure Shevchenko will have another complaint about the result and she should have won the fight but for sure that sparring with guys are real for Shevchenko  because she got a pretty muscular physique right now,

Kevin Holland (2.20) VS Jack Della Maddalena (1.65) - LOST


Actually, this is pure action but for sure Jack Della Maddalena has more explosive strikes and has pressured Kevin Holland in this fight and those 2 takedown attempts of Holland were not effective the takedown defense of Della Madalena was very effective and Kevin Holland can not do a thing but it was a very close fight and Kevin Holland should have tried another takedown until he can make one, but because it was not effective he give up on that he will feel the strikes of Madalena for sure

Raul Rosas Jr. (1.13) VS Terrence Mitchell (5.80) - WIN


In the 1st round just like that Raul Rosas Jr. defeated Terrence Mitchell you can see from his furious face that he was really upset with his loss in his last fight and in this fight he has surely got it done now, it was really a great KO, his strike Mitchell was backing down in this kids punches there are no much things that I got to say about this fight because Raul Rosas Jr. is a monster that finishes the fight so fast that I really don't know what had happened,

Nobody is happy after last UFC event, there was one no contest and main event ended up as split decision draw, something we dont see often in MMA.
Grosso is saying she is confident that she won, and Shevchenko thinks that final decision was unfair but she broke her thumb during first round.
I think we re going to see third fight between this two fighters, but Grosso is doesnt care about it.

Best to listen Post-Fight Press Conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MavtgvRNY5Q

They think its more convenient to have it as a draw than making one wins the fight but it's a lot more frustrating to see one got robbed. By point, I think Valentina won the fight. She surely has improved her striking and the counter, she had her heavy hit compared to what Grasso made but I guess the 5th round makes the final say when Grasso grabbed her.

True that. Dana would probably give them another fight in the future. If there ever one bettor cast a draw, I can only say he is one heck of a Nostradamus.

Split draw.

If only Valentina Shevchenko played safe then she would be the champ again. But, she gave Alexa Grasso a chance to make some points at the last minute of the 5th round so she still kept her belt. This a very big mistake for Valentina's corner because they are telling her to not let go when she grabs Alexa but the truth is, she is winning by just using her jabs to which Alexa has no answer.
Anyway, I bet there are no winners today because I don't think one gambler would bet for a draw because of the rarity of it to happen. All bets are voided so we can keep the money and just wait for their next meeting which I don't doubt will happen. More money for Dana White in Grasso vs. Shevchenko 3.
But I got to be honest that it was a good fight and I want to see one more of it.
