Will make my predictions for this UFC event closer to the fight time as the start for it is mid-afternoon so best to make them Saturday morning.

For me, there aren't really much exciting fights in here except for the Main Event, Josh Emmett still has a great record and his fights were really great to watch for sure Yair Rodriguez's fight was stunningly good and Rodriguez had a hard time against Emmett for sure even though Emmett lost that fight and surely those kicks from Yair Rodriguez is solid and brutal to Emmett well it was finished with a triangle choke and it was spectacular what these two have showcased in the fight and after that, Yair Rodriguez shows some respect to Josh Emmett after he taps out, for me Ilia Topuria has a same technique as Yair Rodriguez so a fight with Josh Emmett will be a banger aswell,

Right now as I am posting this the fight for Trevor Peek vs. Victor Martinez was canceled due to Victor Martinez withdrawing from the fight I don't know the reason then Trevor Peek will now face Chepe Mariscal as a substitute fighter for Martinez,

The UFC on ABC 5 Multi-Master Challenge is up and here is the link - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62435568


It was canceled for the UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Cannonier, but it was rescheduled in UFC Fight Night Jacksonville but yeah it was postponed and likely reschedule in a better time slot, for me well this is truly a banger fight for sure, Josh Emmett is really durable, but Ilia Topuria will showcase another great fight for sure,

It wasn't necessarily cancelled but postponed and rescheduled according to this article I found posted yesterday:

source: https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/ufc-fight-night-marvin-vettori-vs-jared-cannonier

Delaying it for the week after just makes it sound less like either fighter had to pull out due to injury. Thus the entire fight between these two would have to be cancelled and not rescheduled because then it would be at an unknown date at that point.

Now that the UFC Fight Night Las Vegas is settled I think we can move on to UFC Fight Night Jacksonville, where I think this is going to be an interesting event, here is the full card,

Updated: The Multi-Master Challenge - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62435568

The Killa Gorilla has improved so much and I think this is because of Israel Adesanya he is motivated by what has happened with their fight he said that in the interview he was really aiming for a title fight and he wants to out strike Adesanya on their next fight, and right now he can wrestle now he also has said that he hadn't shown his wrestling capabilities yet, and right now he has a huge cardio going in the fight that fights was 5 rounds and he was an interview and he was never breathing heavily, that goes to show the level of the gas tank going into the fight,

The result of my full picks

MAIN EVENT
Marvin Vettori VS Jared Cannonier ROUND 5 DECISION - WIN

CO-MAIN EVENT
Arman Tsarukyan VS Joaquim Silva ROUND 3 KO/TKO - WIN

MAIN CARD
Christian Leroy Duncan VS Armen Petrosyan ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST
Pat Sabatini VS Lucas Almeida ROUND 2 SUBMISSION - WIN
Nikolas Motta VS Manuel Torres ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN
Muslim Salikhov VS Nicolas Dalby ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST

PRELIMINARY CARD
Jimmy Flick VS Alessandro Costa ROUND 2 KO/TKO - WIN
Kyung Ho Kang VS Cristian Quiñonez ROUND 1 SUBMISSION - LOST
Carlos Hernandez VS Denys Bondar ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST
Tereza Bledá VS Gabriella Fernandes ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN
Ronnie Lawrence VS Daniel Argueta ROUND 1 PREMATURE STOPPAGE - NO CONTEST
Modestas Bukauskas VS Zac Pauga ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

It was a breaking-record fight for Jared Cannonier as he sets the record for the most significant strike in a middleweight fight surely his strike volume really did increase and goes to the roof while Marvin Vettori really has durability going with the fight that I think made Jared Cannonier struggle because of the impressive chin of Vettori, surely he has done everything in his power to knockout Vettori and I think it also adds up for Cannonier to break the record the awesome durability of Marvin Vettori,


Congratulations on your winnings but likely seeing the cards and who's going to fight I was really surprised aswell, but yeah it was likely many in this event has some potential that are underdog, so it was unlikely a underdog paradise if you likely want to bet for the Underdog,

---

Result of my picks and prediction,

Marvin Vettori (1.80) VS Jared Cannonier (2.02) - LOST

I thought that Marvin Vettori will likely dominate the ground by controlling Cannonier, but it was the opposite way, Jared Cannonier now has a takedown and I was totally surprised about this he was likely training takedowns, and he also said that he has a lot to show and always thinking that Israel Adesanya lost, he surely wants to out strike Adesanya this time, but breaking the record of most significant strikes, a truly amazing feat, but yeah it was possible because of Vettori's durable chin, that likely withstanding the power shots of the Killa Gorilla, it was a lost but Vettori fight well,

Arman Tsarukyan (1.09) VS Joaquim Silva (7.60) - WIN

There is no surprise in this result but Tsarukyan is simply losing the 1st round Joaquim Silva also landed a hard shot at Tsarukyan at the beginning of the fight but it was all in vain when Tsarukyan retaliated with a takedown then the elbow ground and strike was pretty much the thing that taken Joaquim Silva to sleep,

It was a great fight to watch, even though most of the fight was in decision the Main Event, was the real Main Event Jared Cannonier VS Marvin Vettori have shown great upgrades for both fighters,

Now here are my Bets results,

Marvin Vettori vs Jared Cannonier - WIN

It's a great fight actually Marvin Vettori has shown a lot of heart in this match he was eating too many shots from Jared Cannonier but he surely got a great chin and durability the power shots of Jared Cannonier surely have a lasting effect on Vettori that may damage Vettori's chin and it will never be the same in the next time Vettori fight, but the thing that I was surprised about was Jared Cannonier's takedown game it was a surprising thing for Jared Cannonier to do he outwrestled Marvin Vettori that many fans is expecting has the advantage on the ground, but Jared Cannoier was the one controlling him in the ground

Arman Tsarukyan vs Joaquim Silva - WIN

WOW! Both fighters have shown great striking Joaquim Silva has given Arman Tsarukyan some beating at 1st and rocked him with a big punch that many have thought that Tsarukyan could lose, Arman Tsarukyan was triggered he was a different person after he was hit by Silva, from that he has taken Joaquim Silva to the ground and it was a fast pace takedown than the ground and pound comes next and it was hard rocking elbow that Silva can not defended and so the fight was finished with a TKO ground and pound,

I would have lost an amount as I was planning to bet for Vettori because he was younger.  Cannonier is quite impressive even at such an age he still swinging and taking down Vettori when it should have been the other way around.

Adesanya and him fought already which Jared lost in a UD as well. Since Izzy is not willing to go upper weight class, he might just get a rematch with Jared.  A fight that may not make a huge sale.

Cannonier also known as The Killer Gorilla made a statement making history from this fight with Vettori. In the UFC middleweight category, Cannonier now holds the record of the most significant strikes in a bout with about 241 strikes. Cannonier did not start the fight well, looked shaky, but he did a good job remembering that he wants to beat the champion Adesanya, A thought that must have  pushed him into winning taking on Vettori more aggressively.
I would have loved to see a Knockout, but it just did not get to that.

Owengtam09 was correct. It was a night of the underdogs as it seemed the higher odds fighters won most of the night.

Glad I backed these to win last night as both my bets and several other parlays I had Jared Cannonier won!

That was an epic main event between Cannonier and Vettori, Cannonier breaking the record for the significant strikes landed but that wasn't even enough to put Vettori off his feet, that guy definitely built different, If the game had gone on like typical boxing game with 12 rounds, I believe their could have been a window for Vettori to aim for a knockout, because no ones stays up after receiving such amount significant battering without seeking their own opportunity window. Congratulations to Cannonier too for being able to turn the game completely around after losing the first round to go on to win the remaining 4 consecutive ones. This exactly is what every main event is suppose to seem like, EPIC!!!

Yup! and Ilia Topuria was the likely favorite to win that fight for sure I really think that just like Yair Rodriguez this is a great match to see Rodriguez did a great job in getting that volume of strikes to win the fight and carrying it to the Submission he likely has time that on Josh Emmett cracking him open to execute that triangle choke, for me Ilia Topuria is like Yair Rodriguez he is a calculating dude and his fight IQ is really amazing this is what I likely seeing on what may happen to that next fight looking at Yair Rodriguez win this is likely the path where Topuria could get a win over Emmett,


I really think that underdogs now are very popular to bet on and with this kind of combat sport you will never know who's really going to win, and with that slight idea that this guy could beat the other guy we tend to go with that scenario in betting but betting on the underdog is pretty much common to get a large sum towards that risk you take, a great example is on the last event the UFC 289 Nunes VS Aldana, Charles Oliveira is the underdog over Beneil Dariush and Oliveira won that fight, same goes with Jasmine Jasudavicius and was the underdog against Miranda Maverick and she wins that via decision and lastly with Diana Belbiţă against Maria Oliveira and won it via decision again,

After looking at the odds right now it does look like I picked most of the underdogs to win on my betslip now.
With the premlims starting with the first match in the next 15 minutes I can't see the lines changing anymore than they already have over the past few days. For instance, I had one of my biggest backing the underdog pick with Cannonier at 1.94x when I placed the bet but now he is around over 2.14x

Anyways, we will see how it all goes down in the next 4-6 hours from now. Hoping with the former since I yearn for alot of knockouts in this fight night!
Here are the lines:

Really hope you could get those underdog picks of yours but because you have mentioned that we surely got similar picks I think I will post my full picks for this event, and likely could eventually post it into Multi-Master later, so here are my full picks for the UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Cannonier

Arman Tsarukyan VS Joaquim Silva

Here is the link for the UFC on ESPN 47 Multi-Master Challenge

No problem dude I was also really looking forward to that fight aswell and I was totally shocked that now it was the Jared Cannonier vs Marvin Vettori fight I was really surprised that the main event changed but still the next main event will be the Josh Emmett vs Ilia Topuria fight and on that side of the block I guess we also had some juicy fights aswell,

UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Cannonier - Picks and Prediction,

Marvin Vettori vs Jared Cannonier

Just like you guys I also think that this match will be close which is why this is a great fight to watch Marvin Vettori is likely a great guy who always will look for a clinch that may become a takedown, but 1 thing that I have noticed for Vettori his opponent Israel Adesanaya and Robert Whittaker will kick and he lost to those two fights and Jared Cannonier can kick, head kick but mostly the leg kicks will be the point maker for Cannonier that Vettori will likely have trouble on, for me the kicks will be the key for Jared Cannonier to  win in this fight,

Arman Tsarukyan vs Joaquim Silva

Joaquim Silva have those strong shot that could knock out anybody in this division he does have BJJ but I think it is not that lethal and not on the level of Arman Tsarukyan, I really don't see an upset for this match it is likely just a one-sided fight for the rank 8th in this division but even though Tsarukyan beat Silva on this fight I really wish Joaquim Silva can still have a high ranked fight in the future or even in this next fight, but because this is surely going to be a win for Tsarukyan, and Arman Tsarukyan is an Orthodox so he can switch his stance that Joaquim Silva could struggle much, so my pick is Arman Tsarukyan,

Now I remember seeing this fight night being featured with Josh Emmett and Ilia Topuria advertised months ago.
Thanks for reminding me which of the main event bout was cancelled both @owengtam09 & @jakelyson !

Those are my exact picks for tonight's fight night event too!
Also had a severe underdog on there as well ever since the event was announced.
Just hope that doesn't ruin my betslips because of back such a fighter that has been predicted to lose from the bookmakers at the very start of announcing this fight card.

My picks for the UFC Fight Night now I will be picking just 2 fights that I know

Marvin Vettori (1.80) VS Jared Cannonier (2.02)

Both these fighters have a hard time with Israel Adesanya well Jared Cannonier said he would likely Ko'ed Izzy but to no success and Marvin Vettori would ground and pound him but it was to naught because their all was unsuccessful Israel Adesanya clearly has a high fight IQ than the two, food takedown defense is likely what he has, for me Jared Cannonier is a good striker his blitz and kicks has the reach advantage but Marvin Vettori has reasonable control over the ground and he can indeed ground and pound Jared Cannonier in this situation,

Arman Tsarukyan (1.09) VS Joaquim Silva (7.60)

For me, Joaquim Silva is a nobody and I really don't know him at all but Arman Tsarukyan is likely a different story for me Arman Tsarukyan was really fantastic in many fields in this sports and for sure he has some advantage with playing field for me I would be biased for this but I will likely not going to bet for this fight because it will not be going to be profitable because the odds was too much for Tsarukyan, but my pick is Arman Tsarukyan,

Here are my picks for the upcoming UFC Fight Night Event Vettori vs. Cannonier

Marvin Vettori VS Jared Cannonier

The stake odds for this fight are 1.80 for Vettori and 2.02 for Cannonier, in this fight, it is going to be a close match for sure Jared Cannonier has those blitzing and switching actions with the stand-up while Vettori can control you on the ground but for Cannonier, I think he is prepared for this he has good takedown defense so this is going to be a good fight Jared Cannonier has good with volume punches while Marvin Vettori tends to be more calculated with his strikes and may resort into a takedown, but Cannonier has good takedown defense so for sure Jared Cannonier can control the fight with that defense so my pick is Jared Cannonier,

Arman Tsarukyan VS Joaquim Silva

The stake odds for this fight are 1.09 for Tsarukyan and 7.60 for Silva, This could be a one-sided fight Arman Tsarukyan is a calculating dude, but he got a good fight IQ that is technical going into the fight while Joaquim Silva is a straightforward guy but he has said he's going to win this fight 100% and I really doubted that for me Arman Tsarukyan is the safest pick but the odds is just not profitable for him so my 1st bet for this fight will be Winning Method (Double Chance) Tsarukyan Arman winning via Submission or points, and 2nd bet will be Winner and Exact Rounds bet Tsarukyan Arman and round 2,

Muslim Salikhov VS Nicolas Dalby

The stake odds for this fight are 1.52 for Salikhov and 2.55 for Dalby, The king of Kung Fu surely is the favorite to win Salikhov's technique is pure kickboxing and some combat sambo with Daestan Wrestling for backup for sure he won't want to underestimate Nicolas Dalby, because he also got good striking that can surely last because of he also got a good gas tank, but for me Muslim Salikhov just got good overall in this fight so for me I am going with Muslim Salikhov,

I would love to see Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria right for sure but it was rescheduled for the next event and because of that Marvin Vetorri VS Jared Cannonier becomes the main event, surely next event Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria will be in the main event, well for that fight I really want to see Ilia Topuria fight, his fight IQ was really superb and could likely be a great asset for the UFC and gaining momentum in having a title shot in the future,
