Alex Pereira demolished Khalil Rountree Jr in this fight. Even if it took until the championship rounds to do it.
There was this weird front kick Pereira did right when the first round started where Khalil caught his foot but he spinned out of it quickly enough so he didn't have time to capitalize on it. Overall I thought Pereira would of knocked him out early on but the fight lasted til the fourth round til he had to finish him off with those powerful body shots.

The biggest surprise of the night was Julianna Peña defeating Raquel Pennington to take her belt away from her.
But she did the same thing to Nunes two years ago to have the largest underdog win in a women's titleshot bout.

Mario Bautista defeating Jose Aldo via split decision was a shocker to many who were watching the fight from the tweets that were put out while the fight was going on.
Roman Dolidze beating Kevin Holland were he had to pull out at the end of the first round due to dislocating a rib so he couldn't continue on.

Kayla Harrison against Ketlen Vieira was a more competitive fight than even Kayla thought it would be. She was dominating the first round but then received an elbow to the forehead which caused swelling to a knot on there. But when she got her to the ground it was all Harrison who won the bout via the judges scorecards. Which to me was a disappointing win because Vieira had her shook in the second round.

Can't wait until the next one Royval vs Taira coming up at the Apex for this next weekend!

Just like I thought it was a pretty great fight card and I really enjoyed it although I already predicted what may happen with the Main Card

Alex Pereira VS Khalil Rountree Jr.

Alex Pereira is really something and like I have said he is really good at knocking out his opponent Khalil Roundtree might be fast but he was really reckless that overhand punch is not going to do much against Pereira and that will surely cause Pereira to see openings against Roundtree and that have cost Khalil Roundtree his defeated he swings that hand to far that Alex Pereira can see it within miles but in this fight Roundtree is something he withstood the beating from Alex Pereira and because Khalil Roundtree has the best chin in this division but he was badly beaten in the last rounds but at the beginning of the fight Roundtree hurt Alex Pereira knocking him the only fighter in the division that Knock Pereira and because of Roundtree's speed he is able to do that but again in the last Rounds Alex Pereira still prevails and got used to Roundtree's speed.

José Aldo VS Mario Bautista

Jose Aldo is amazing even though he is older he can still fight and move like he is still great not in his prime because Prime Aldo would definitely knock out Mario Bautista who is not doing a thing inside the Octagon I got to admit I really like what Aldo did in this fight but for me even though I have bet for Mario Bautista this fight is a robbery and Jose Aldo should win this one and Damage trumps all, while Bautista all did was to lock Aldo in the fence.

Stephen Thompson VS Joaquin Buckley

That Overhand punch then blocks and then right hook was really great and I feel really sad for Stephen Thompson he can not do a thing against Joaquin Buckley's speed in the 1st 2 rounds was really slow but that is the thing the two fighters are feeling each other but Joaquin Buckley is so fast for Thompson that he handed it over to him in the 3rd round and Thompson from that perspective on the 2 first round he didn't anticipate this on Buckley now a great thing to see is Shavkat VS Buckley but for me, I would go with Shavkat Rakhmonov for sure.

Kayla Harrison has to be another heavy favorite to beat Ketlen Vieira as she is on the road to dominant the division and even had a bit of jawing against Pena during the press conference.
Having both Pennington's on the exact same card is something different.
Rountree won't have a chance against the might of Pereira I would imagine.
The end of the prelims so the main card should begin shortly.
So we will jsut have to wait and see over the next three hours who will walk away with their belts by the end of the night.

Rountree may have good standing, but Pereira is the favourite for a reason. Some bettors for sure have placed their bets in favour of Pereira for secure wins. But if you want more challenge, should have placed how the fight will end up with.


Well, it ended up via UD not TKO. It means, Vieira has indeed some skills under her sleeves. But Harrison overpowered her as she controlled the fight. And with such victory, Harrison just solidified her position in the bantamweight division.

My bet and prediction for this UFC event

Alex Pereira VS Khalil Rountree Jr.

I got a great feeling about this and as I said back then this could be a one-sided fight but if Roudtree can manage to avoid the 1 hit wonder of Alex Pereira then the fight will surely be prolonged if that left hook connected then this is all over we can say even the jab is a devastating weapon for him but if Roundtree has managed to evade it and make a good round and withstanding Pereira's onslaught then Alex Pereira will result with the takedown and finish this on the ground as Alex Pereira has trained by Glover Teixeira and the ground game is his back up plan so I will go with Alex Pereira.

José Aldo VS Mario Bautista

For this fight, Jose Aldo seems to be back but I highly doubt this as it takes him time to take Jonathan Martinez and end up in a decision win if he can not knockout Mario Bautista that is very dangerous for him as Mario Bautista can knock Aldo out and even take the fight into the ground and that will be very dangerous for Aldo as Mario Bautista is a very well-rounded fighter and because of Jose Aldo's age I can not surely trust him so my take is Mario Bautista winning this.

Stephen Thompson VS Joaquin Buckley

This is a 10-year gap and I'd say that Stephen Wonder Boy Thompson should retire after this fight Joaquin Buckley is very dangerous in the standing and if Thompson can not finish this fight quickly Buckley is a fighter who can be dangerous in the standing if prolonged because of his devastating punches I know I am surely underestimating Stephen Thompson getting the win but this is Joaquin Buckley we are talking about and their age gap is tremendous so my pick is Joaquin Buckley.

Yea Good luck with your $1000 if Rountree can find that one moment in the fight where he could take advantage of. He is still one dangerous fighter who only needs one punch that could put Alex's light out. Only one opportunity that he may need to upset this fight.

When Rountree says he has a secret move against Pereira, it might just be true. He seems confident during the faceoff. But I will still bet for Pereira a small amount that he could have success in R1 KO.  

Guys dont underestimate Khalil Rountree so easy.
Yes he is a big underdog and he is most likely going to lose this fight, but he is in great run, winning five of his last fights and four of them with a TKO finish against good fighters!
I am expecting more interesting fight than odds are suggesting, and this two fighters had very intense faceoff: https://youtu.be/dXe95rBm2Oo

A lot of big names on this card but no fights that I’m really excited about or care enough to bet on. The one fight that I do find intriguing and am looking forward to seeing how it plays out is Harrison vs Vieira which is a little strange considering that’s a fight between two woman and not even the main women’s event. I like the smack talk and story behind the fight though.

It will be quick for sure. If you see the stats from both fighters there is a huge difference:

6' 4'' VS 6' 1''
219 P. vs 213 P.

This one should be a really easy one for Pereira, and as users already mentioned, betting on that x1.2 isn't even worth it. I don't think Khalil has a chance but if i bet on this event i would go for Khalil to win by KO and that's a x6, which will not happen, but would be a funny bet. In sports we can always expect the impossible.

And about Aldo, i don't know what to expect from him, he used to be a big fighter, but not anymore, i wouldn't bet on him.

I got Pereira in my card too but I am doubting Aldo. He is old but I do want to watch him since I am a fan of his prime age but putting my money seems to be a trouble for me because I know he might just play it safe and take it until the final round. If that is the case might as well just bet on the decision with Aldo winning.

Alex Pereira is @1.22 only. Big money is needed to feel the profits and I know he will win this match. But I cannot afford to risk like $1000 just to tell myself I won.
Those who can will probably put a lot of money for him because it's almost like a sure win. I would not count for an upset on this match.

Good luck on your bets guys.

I hope the main fight is quick at least, because it's not worth betting on Pereira with this ODD and in this card I only trust in his victory. In the others it's very difficult to trust. I even thought about Aldo but there's still a lot to be seen.

Finally we have UFC event with interesting fights starting from prelims, and I cant believe Jose Aldo is still competing at top level.
In main event I cant see anything else than another win for Alex Pereira against Khalil Rountree and he is heavy favorite to win like bookies are showing.
Only odds I found worth checking out is that fight wont go to the distance: https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc/matches

It was hilarious at the same time very disturbing as Conor McGregor is like sniffing his career away with gambling and with MMA Guru's comment it is also getting some more hilarious vibes while watching it, and watching Conor's video he looks very coke up in that video but yeah he is right that Conor McGregor should just stop in fighting and just go with the film industry because maybe he got a future in there than inside the octagon,

I really love it when he exposes Mike Tyson for having a Kush farm he is totally out of words while live betting and actually I can not understand his babbling it was that hard, and all of the MMA gurus saying was on point about Conor for sure McGregor can not hide something that he is really using some crazy stuff.


He misses fighting so much that he has returned to the octagon for me winning some fights at that age is really remarkable his fight on UFC 301 against a much younger Jonathan Martinez but I could be wrong as Jonathan Martinez might have been starstruck with Aldo back then that he can not land a punch that much but we will see in his fight against Mario Bautista after Bautista's win against Ricky Simon.


Well, you got the point as this fight should be against Jamal Hill but because Khalil Roundtree was suspended due to using a banned substance his fight against Hill got canceled I surely agree that even though Roundtree has stirred up some secret weapon in his sleeve it is not enough in defeating the Poatan as also for me the fight was not that interesting aswell and In that fight card as Sterling got injured and his fight against Movsar Evloev got canceled Chris Curtis left foot got fracture so Kevin Holland will now be fighting Roman Dolidze instead there are those fights that may add up but not that much got canceled.

^ 1.20 seem good to add on a parlay.


Thier names stick in my memory though. There are remarkable fights that live long in my mind, some rare ones especially when a fighter KO'd his opponent while on the ground. Everyone will agree Roundtree doesn't look like the guy that could defeat Pereira. You just can't expect someone like his will wrestle all of a sudden. But who knows Roundtree may win. Poatan will still be fighting maybe a month or two later vs Ankalev.

They are great fighters, but Pereira has been undefeated for a long time and this gives him very low odds, so I am paying 1.20 for his victory. So, for me it is still not worth it. Regarding Aldo, it only shows that his decisions in the past had big consequences now, he should have stopped by now.

This event doesn't seem like an exciting one even with those names you had mentioned cabron. The promotion for this has Rountree saying on his socials: "Have a secret weapon and you will see it when I unleash it come fight night!"
That is a piss pour reason for anyone to be hyped about seeing you fight. Gave him a chance when this fight was first announced months ago and many in the UFC community were left scratching their heads, going WTF is this matchup for Pereira. But they have done absolutely nothing with it and even the embedded series have the lowest views on them.
Alot have zero interest in placing any bets on this UFC event and I am one of them.

This main event will only appeal for the hardcore UFC fans who can not miss a fight and those who watch the Contender Series religiously. And no, I am not one of those UFCers who watch so to keep track of the fighter's rankings.
I can wait until Monday to see what those are as there are many other sports to keep my interest into this coming weekend.

Being in the Hall of Fame I think won't make him more money. He needs to keep fighting too, all for the habit of fighting.

But his popularity is overshadowed because Pereira is the main event yet Aldo is still in the main card which I count very much. His last fight in UFC Brazil still made him look very exciting. But there are other known names on the list such as Pennington, Pena, Thompson, and Holland.  UFC 307 is still a pack of great fights.
We may be seeing Pereira fighting someone who will take him down to the ground.

^^

Aldo is in the Hall of Fame, but he's still fighting. And I don't see any publicity for the fight he's going to take part in from the UFC or the fighter himself. The focus is solely on Pereira, who has already shaved his head as usual and is in war mode! I really believe he'll keep the belt. I even saw him practicing takedowns, something you don't see every day.

Could of sworn Aldo was not going to fight anymore once he got inducted into the UFC fighter's hall of fame.
But he is on the card for this next event this week so he still has the mileage in the gas tank to go for it I guess.
It does give it a feel of an old-timers event with Roundtree being the main event, so might aswell of but McGregor in there just for kicks.

Here is the full video of that drunken livestream of theirs where it actually shows the casino's representative in the picture frame of the video placing bets aside a wild McGregor:

MMAGuru just discussed about this full video on his youtube channel just about four hours ago, so you know it is currently a hot topic in MMA news right now:
Conor McGregor Is Sniffing His Career Away? He Will Never Fight Again? CRAZY LIVE STREAM REACTION!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0UlWl67DLc

What the heck!

I like the first part where MMA Guru is trying to impersonate Connor McGregor. It was a bit funny and I do hope he got the accent and the high pitch voice too as it could've been perfectly done. In fact, the whole video of him is hilarious.

I think Connor was drunk and he is always screaming on that livestream. Did he even know that he is live?  
Anyway, I think he got the attention of many but the reactions are different and many people really dissected that livestream because he did so many things and said a lot of things to popular people in sports. I am not sure if he was on drugs that night but MMA Guru said something about it too. Who knows?!
