Crap, crap, crap.
Lost all three bets.
I was rooting for Yair Rodriguez to knock out Volk but what happened is the other way around.
Here are the results of the UFC 290.
Alexander Volkanovski versus Yair Rodriguez - Volkanovski won thru TKO/KO
Brandon Moreno versus Alexandre Pantoja - Pantoja won by decision.
Robert Whittaker versus Dricus Du Plessis - Whittaker won by KO/TKO in Round 2.
I hate losing but damn that's some powerful performance from Volk. The strategy was simple, put down Yair and let the fight be taken on the mat with Volk above him. It's a very simple plan and yet a hard task on how he could prevent Yair from standing again. He definitely dominated Yair there.
Obviously, there's still a lot of room for improvement for Yair, especially on those takedown defenses and how he could defend himself once someone is above him.
It's a loss but so entertaining. Congratulations to those who bet for Volk.
What I see in the Main Event was a great fight for Volkanovski he have shown a simple technique but it was very effective against Yair Rodriguez you can say that Volk outsmart Rodriguez in this one, but for sure he has done a great job in making a win but Alexander Volkanovski was way ahead of him,
No on the Co-Main Event, it was really a controversial one one judge just ruins it all, giving all to Pantoja, but it was a close match indeed and I think this needs to be seen through and makes an effort to check what really happen, I may bet for Alexandre Pantoja but seeing the fight it should be checked,
Alexander Volkanovski vs Yair Rodriguez -
LOSTMan! what a fight I really thought that Yair Rodriguez's height may come in handy with his wrestling and takedown defense but I never expected Volkanovski to throw Rodriguez to the ground and move him near the cage to pin Yair down, and Volkanovski is so much for Yair Rodriguez he surely doesn't know what he is going to do with Volkanovski, on this fight, well, after this fight what is next for Volkonovski, maybe an Ilia Topuria fight, perhaps for me that is a great fight to behold and we can see who had the better boxing, for me I am really excited just thinking of it,
Brandon Moreno VS Alexandre Pantoja -
WINA close match for sure for me I have seen a controversial decision fight for this one, but I can not say that Brandon Moreno won the fight or Pantoja won it aswell, all I say is this fight needs to be accessible, and needs further investigation, it was a very close fight that I even give a draw for a result, and that is how I can surely say that this fight is super close, for sure,
Robert Whittaker VS Dricus Du Plessis -
LOSTFor me, Dricus Du Plessis really deserves a title shot next after defeating Robert Whittaker one of the best fighters in the Middleweight and surely Du Plessis one of the hardworking fighters for me after this fight Israel Adesanya needs to take precautions for sure because Dricus Du Plessis is not going to be an easy task for him a dude that will surely open up about his opponent opening and secrets and using that knowledge at his disposal what a shock that we have this kind of a dude in the UFC but he has done a great job in defeating the gatekeeper,
