Just by comparing their MMA records, it appears Spivac does have the advantage but it's not what the bookmakers are seeing. Gane is their favorite which I agree also despite how humiliating his performance with against Jones. Gane will still be using his reach advantage and he is still faster in my belief.

Fiorot has impressive KO power for a woman but I bet Namajunas will still submit her. She must have found it amusing to see Zhang whom she had beaten twice now hold the belt she won and defended many times. I think she is up to getting it from Zhang for the 3rd time.

For sure both Shavkat Rakhmanov and Rose Namajunas got a long rest but Namajunas has years of rest while Shavkat just months, and he is ready for more, for sure Shavkat Rakhmanov still hasn't had any fight yet, evading fight against Rakhmanov, because they know the dangers of getting into a brawl against the Dagestan wrestler, well Shavkat will have to wait While Rose Namajunas is having her fight this coming Saturday and debut in the UFC Fight Night Gane VS Spivac, for sure it will be a great fight but Namajunas returning and likely going up the division I really don't know why,


Well, Leon Edward has to say something about this he can likely let down the offer, and Shavkat Rakhmanov will have to wait for certain fighters that accept his challenge, for sure There are many fighters that have some issues regarding injuries but that would be needing acceptance from the champion, for sure we would love to see that but that is a leap from the top for Shavkat if that happens,


Nice! I would see Cyril Gane again That was great for sure and we all know that he comes from a loss even though his wrestling is nowhere to be found in that Jon Jones fight, he likely needed to train for the takedowns for sure because that two-loss has from a takedown for sure if Cyril Gane didn't adjust with his following opponent then he will likely lose again, for sure the heavyweight is evolving and Gane needs to adjust towards this,

Now that the Max Holloway VS Korean Zombie fight has settled I guess there are many in the UFC community who want to see the next event because it is against two Heavyweights, now Here are the event details and what awaits us,

Actually, all of us might go with a Max Holloway win for sure because The Korean Zombie is aging but surely he can tank Max Holloway for the last time I am sure that he knows that this is surely his last fight he can surely feel it that he is not advancing anymore with every fight he takes, but it was really sad to see him leave the UFC and that clip has proven that there are many fans that love the Korean Zombie chanting and singing The Cranberries Zombie music, it surely brings chills watching that video,


We can surely rely on Erin Blanchfield's Grappling and wrestling but against Alexa Grasso's Striking Me Grasso is more technical for sure, she also is an adjusting fighter so she will surely adjust against Blanchfield the last two fights of Grasso was really interesting, the Viviane Araújo and Valentina Shevchenko all of that ended with a great technical thinking of Grasso,


For me just like Khamzat Chimaev back then that was ignored and don't want to face the Dagestan Fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov in the same waters as no one wants to fight him, for sure there is no given fight for him at the moment,

While Rose Namajunas is back and facing Manon Fiorot in the Women's Flyweight Division in the UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Spivac event,

Shavkat Rakhmonov deserves a title fight if nobody wants to fight him, for sure I like to see him fight and become a champion Well Gilbert Burns has already made a bad decision by taking 1 month's rest and fighting again, Jorge Masvidal on April 8, and Belal Muhammad in May 6, definitely he needs more rest so he will not fight Shavkat Rakhmonov for sure, so yeah Let's just wait but I want the champion to fight him now,


He fought Geoff Neal last March 4, 2023, and after that no more fight for him, he is asking for a fight and there is no one who wants to fight him, This is the problem with prominent Dagestani fighter fighters are avoiding them because of the Dagestan Wrestling, for sure Khamzat Chimaev have a similar problem like this before,

Well, I really don't know why Rose Namajunas decided to move up the division, well may because Zhange Weili wants a rematch on her, but maybe she realized that she could not beat the new and improved Zhang Weili right now so she moved up to the Women's Flyweight Division and welcoming her in the division was Manon Fiorot and they will fight on September 3, this Saturday, for sure maybe she can defeat Manon but I am doubting her to beat Alexa Grasso for sure,

Was also thinking of this fighter after watching ONE over the weekend, due to somebody in the sports chat room I was in during UFC having mentioned about this MMA championship with mostly Thai and some Russian fighters.
Shavkat hasn't fought somebody in the UFC for a very long time and there has been talk of him fighting soon.

Another name which I haven't heard of was Rose Namajunas since she fought Carla Esparza back in May 2022.
She is headlined in the UFC event for France in September which was mentioned during the promotions for this past weekend.
Now that is something for the thug Rose fans to be looking forward too coming up.

I also missed this event, actually, I thought I still had time but the event was too early and I missed it completely, it was really a great event the performance of the Korean Zombie was also got back but I think his chin isn't really there anymore, that is why his fighting option is limited but for sure he already feeling it because before the fight he has said that this might be his last fight and it really was sad to see the Korean Zombie go but he surely knows that this is really his last and Max Holloway is looking good and was really in control of the fight actually he didn't follow up when the Korean Zombie was down showing respect to him,

Erin Blanchfield VS Alexa Grasso was the fight I wanted to see but with the Striking with Taila Santos Blanchfield was hesitant because Santos striking has power that could surely knock out Erin Blanchfield for sure so against Grasso that is more technical and has the power for sure Erin Blanchfield will have a difficult time for sure,

---

While Sean O'Malley is the next champion let's talk about who's next for O''Malley to fight for sure O'Malley says that he wants Chito Vera, because he doesn't believe that Chito really defeated him, for I also want to see that fight but it could also against Merab Dvalishvili for me that is a fight that O'Malley can surely take whether it is against Marlon Vera or Merab Dvalishvili

Shavkat Rakhmonov has avoided this just fighting in March and I haven't seen him yet, I think that this has to happen Shavkat Rakhmanov needs to fight somebody anyone, and for me maybe Gilbert Burns because this guy is really asking for a fight or Colby Covington because Khamzat Chimaev have already goes up the division to fight Paulo Costa man no one wants to fight Shavkat Rakmanov,

For sure Volk's fight was really something for him even though it was not his 1st loss it goes to show the difference in the level they have that right now he can not attain because he is nearing his limitation and his chin is already crumbling up on him we can not blame it on time because eventually, we will all go there the Korean Zombie just didn't have much time left in the MMA and he will eventually retire and he is already feeling it in himself,

Much more he has shown a great performance against Max Holloway in that last Zombie barrage and eating the damage from Max Holloway was the old Zombie Blitzing his way in his opponent's defense and counter, eating away that damage at the same time giving damage to his opponent Holloway just surely know how to defend in this situation,


I missed the whole betting and giving my prediction on this event for the UFC because it was so early I really thought that it would surely start now but it was in Asian time so it would be pretty much early, I was shocked that the event ended so quick, but surely Chan Sung Jung has quite the performance he did eat pretty much many hit from Holloway but he still has that never say die performance in him that got Max Holloway sprung up into defense mode and counter at the same time for me it was an epic battle,

@jakelyson It was how many had thought it was going to end, with a Max win.
Thought it was going to go by knock out since I had it not going the distance.
I completely missed the second round and after coming back from watching F1 qualifying for abit once a red flag stopped the race returned to the TKZ fight seen the highlights. Sung Jung went down, TWICE. First knocked down then almost choked out. But somehow he survived Holloway onslaught.
That was the most exciting part of the fight for me.

@cabron The way the Korean Zombie went out was a rememberable for certain and the UFC did him well in the send off:

Here is the UFC clip of his retirement and it was quite good:

Post fight interview:
The Korean Zombie Octagon Interview | UFC Singapore - RETIREMENT FIGHT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4vgb4KgijU

I was so busy that I forgot to make my bet and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Korean Zombie but surely if I would make my bet for that fight Max Holloway all the way for sure, and just like that a round 3 KO right hook win for Holloway surely Chan Sung Jung can not withstand a blow to the face for sure he is having a hard time and need to adjust big time against Max Holloway because as we all know and surely the Korean Zombie is also aware that Max Holloway is really something,

While Erin Blanchfield vs. Taila Santos was a banger of a fight if I bet on this fight I would get Erin Blanfield for sure a better striker and has a great ground game, but Talia Santos has power in  her punches, but Surely Erin Blanchfield manages to dodge  it was a great thing for Blanchfield,


Max Holloway just showed his respect and admiration for the Korean Zombie and he showed that he is the superior fighter in this fight and a great defense for Max Holloway in this fight the Korean Zombie has gone into Zombie mode 1 last time in this fight and showed that he can do this 1 last time Max Holloway surely lets out a counter for the Korean Zombie for sure in that last round where the Zombie is throwing a Flurry, he is throwing a left while falling down, for sure Max Holloway adjusted in this fight against the Korean Zombie while the Zombie doesn't Max Holloway and now feinting and faking his punch and dodging the Zombie's punch that was the adjustment that Max Holloway has done, and when the Zombie falls down he didn't follow up with punches showing mercy to the Legendary Korean Zombie I don't really see a takedown, but for sure I have seen a great admiration of Max Holloway for the Korean Zombie,

And they thought the first loss was the one that hurt the most. But often times its craziest like the hilarious elbow of Yair was more devastating I think. It's a cracking joke still to this day much like the KO of Johny Walker against Jamal. 

The first time Max and Zombie fought it was like they agreed to fight on 2 legs, it was just that Max hit Zombie harder while they were exhausted. In this 2nd fight, Zombie might just take Max down to win. Just maybe.

^^
Even for the very first fight of the prelims the crowd are cheering for the Korean fighter SeungWoo Choi after every punch or kick he throws.
So you definitely know they will be on TKZ side when he steps up against Max Holloway in about 4 hours from now.
This card will be over before it is breakfast time in North American's timezone.
The FIBA matches are at around the same time being in the exact same ASEAN countries UTC+08:00.

For sure that is his main objective I think he is saying that because he knows the skills of Max Holloway, as we can see his movement so this is a real test for the Korean Zombie For sure he knows what Max Holloway can do that is why he is saying this, now Korean Zombie got a new style right now because he doesn't have a reliable chin anymore he needs to adjust if you look at the past fights of The Korean Zombie he doesn't care about defense but after his chin Crumbles he moves on and chance that Style with a more technical approached and now defending and evading,

Actually, the fight that made the Korean Zombie more broke was the Alexander Volkanovski fight Here is the clip, Zombie was the favorite of the crowd and was chanting his name in this fight but surely Volkonovski got a great game in this fight and he is surely fast in this fight for sure this fight is a real opener for the Korean Zombie, here is the link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80PuESKrgfs

@notblox1 and @owengtam09
Those are some good observations and predictions for how the main event is going to go.
Korean Zombie has said this will be his last fight. But what happens if he wins? Go out on a high note just like Lawler did for his retirement fight?
I just don't buy it.
There was some talk amongst the podcast crew over at MMAFightingonSBN earlier today and they are guessing if he does pull off the major upset (KZ @5.60 last I checked) then he could continue on and fight Dustin Poirier. That would be a better way to end a career instead of losing on another aging fighter like Max Holloway.

As for the fight going the distance, I chose for it to be over before that happens with my fight acca for this weekend in Singapore:


Here are the odds and all markets available for this fight night on the 26th:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc-fight-night-holloway-vs-the-korean-zombie/matches

I have seen the video as well I don't know if it was Henry Cejudo's gimmick to show something like this that should be left private but it surely connected to what Sterling was saying in the interview he kind of knew the gameplan was he ditched that because of the crowds booing him and disliking his performance for sure he badly wants the fans approval, for ditching his game plan he blew it all out underestimating Sean O'Malley like that in the striking he should have pursue with the takedowns because that is where he is good at, but like I have said it is too late for him to do something it already happened,


For sure the Korean Zombie is the fan favorite in this part of Singapore, but Max Holloway is a big favorite with the Sportsbet odds, and for sure the Zombie will have a hard time against Max Holloway for sure in the past KZ doesn't have a good chin anymore and for sure he is now 36 years old to the younger Max Holloway that is only 31 years old if Jung Chan-sung lost in this match he surely need to think to lay off his gloves for good,

And WOW Erin Blanchfield! I thought that the Erin Blanchfield fight was the only female fight but after seeing Tapology again there is another one, but for sure I am going with Erin Blanchfield in this one she is very well-rounded and has a good Grappling style for this fight, but in that interview she was asked if who is she prefer to fight Valentina Shevchenko or Alexa Grasso, and she said that she will eventually might fight both of the fighters in the future so why choose, but for sure Erin Blanchfield will be a great fight for sure,


For sure the Distance would be a good bet, but that is for the past Korean Zombie because I don't trust KZ's chin right now, over the past that chin of his have become brittle and now that he age for sure it is not tough enough to withstand a punch anymore, for sure it is not a good mentality going in the fight with that kind of thinking so for sure Max Holloway is going to win this,

I heard that Korean Zombie is thinking about retirement if he does not perform good against Max Holloway this weekend.
This is never a good mental state to have before a fight, but maybe this could be just one more Zombie smart tactical move.
He is few years older than Holloway but he had less professional fights and he has few tricks left in his sleeve.

I think best bet for me is fight going to distance, odds are great and I think we are going to see all five rounds:

It seems like Henry Cejudo wants something from exposing the DM's to the public, it looks like to me that Henry Cejudo wants to say hey look at me the champion Aljamain Sterling is looking for some advice from me, Cejudo didn't really need to get it publicly because it could be a never for him for exposing that but it is what it is for me I want to see Marlon Vera VS Sean O'Malley next striker vs striker would be a great fun fight to watch in my opinion,

Actually I really think Sterling knows his game plan but that have crumbled when the crowd booed him the crowd doesn't want Sterling that is why he said in the interview that he wants to shifted his gear and wants to be great in his one, his game plan dropped on the side and goes to O'Malley trying to catch him and becomes aggressive in that fight that O'Malley have caught him it was really Aljamain Sterling fault he underestimate O'Malley and was affected by the crowd that cost him his lost,

Here is the next event for the UFC and it is UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Korean Zombie so the new comers for this thread will see,

Yes @YuginKadoya watched the videos about how Cejudo was giving Aljamain advice on how to fight Suga Sean. Which I found rather hilarious because in a later video by the same creator on his youtube channel explained how they both had a gameplan for beating him, but they both failed to capitalize on it and got beat themselves.

Anyways, it seems that reality is beginning to set-in for Aljo and he will be moving weight classes and Suga already said he has no interest in fighting him anytime in the near future. He has his own plans and is looking to advance his career and not have others dictate on what he should do. Hence the shout out to go boxing next. O'Malley already has one boxing match under his belt back when he first started his journey into fighting professionally.

Next we have the UFC going to Singapore for Fight Night 225.

I really can not blame you if you looked at Marlon Vera as a boring fighter because of his style, because at the beginning of every fight he has, he is looking for an opening and how he will get into his opponent 1st, there will be less engagement towards him, that is why Marlon Vera is one of the boring fighters on the UFC, but as I am saying in my recent post that I like Marlon Vera for sure his style is more technical than O'Malley and forme seeing his style against Pedro Munhoz he got a great defense with the punches and every time Pedro would punch Chito will Parry it then counter, and his fight with Pedro Munhoz, in my opinion, is one of the best there is although those kicks from Munhoz Chito is not checking them as a fighter that utilizes kicks he should know how to defend those kicks aswell but I got my theory about it he can not check punches and kicks at the same time, which is he is still adjusting,

I guess you are a fan of O'Malley well I have seen a hilarious video commercial of him of Timex here it is
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7L_vAKrFc3s

And a Hilarious Spinning deadly move from O'Malley against Pedro Munhoz,
https://youtube.com/shorts/Tl7urfQChkQ?feature=share

And lastly his insane training video
https://youtube.com/shorts/qGlbtGAB5hE?feature=share

Now I know why you love Sean O'Malley so much, but kidding aside Henry Cejudo predicted that Sean O'Malley will counter Aljomain Sterling and he also give some advice to Aljo before the fight but Sterling didn't follow his instructions because for sure Aljomain Sterling got that ego he is thinking that I defeated Cejudo why would I believe in him, so Aljo Lost in that fight, and Henry Cejudo also think Chito Vera is a boring fighter but against O'Maley he is predicting that Marlon Chito Vera will win that fight, O'Malley wanted a rematched against Marlon Vera so for sure the UFC will give him that here is the video
