Well, my childhood was all about the WWE and replicating their every move on the bed with my siblings but never really expected UFC to merge surely Vince McMahon is too old for this but she got his daughter and son that wants to grab WWE, but surely this is just a way to let the company grow or maybe he is just being controlled by Endeavor but maybe he is just being a visionary about what he can do for the company to still strive, but I think this is to benefit the company, here is the VIDEO of Vince McMahon and Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel,

Now this is what many are waiting for and it will surely be a great faceoff between these two now I want to see Alex Pereira wear that Pickachu jacket but he is wearing a purple suit now,


If you see the interview video on Vince McMahon and Ari Emanuel the Endeavor CEO the last minute maybe the last question the question was what if McMahon and Emanuel would want something from the company but had some squabble about it or something like that they go to say they will settle it inside the ring, but then again Ari Emanuel said that just like the UFC and Dana White if they have some disagreement about something there will be no agreement about it or it will not continue he then added that he is letting Dana White do the decision and Endeavor was just backing up their decision, so just like the UFC, the WWE will have the same treatment just like that,


It is really great that he is thinking that he is the underdog but the odds are still high for him and many still believe he could win this fight, but I think his mindset was really set on slaying Alex Pereira this time, I think he surely handles his losses great, and I like that,


I really don't expect that but maybe if Brock Lesnar still has the guts to do it, but looking at their skills and experience I really thought Lesnar is able to do it, and really doubt if he can go toe to toe with Jon Jones,

@rdbase Thanks for the links. Will be keeping them for updates.
The face-off was intense. No foul movements, just literally staring at each other with clenching jaws. I love it. Keep the emotions for now and let it all go when the bell sound.


This tells us we are really getting near to maybe one of the best fights in UFC history. They are ready, in attack mode, like hunters just being patient watching their prey, and as soon as they step on the octagon I am sure there will be blood all over the place. So exciting.

Adesanya: "Time for talking is almost done."

One thing that might happen is Brock Lesnar coming back for one last time and face Jon Jones for the biggest pay per view, Jones called out Lesnar earlier but now things are easier.

Endeavor the company that purchased UFC recently purchased WWE and the above video is from a FOX Tv segment and it was funny.

Like i mentioned above UFC and WWE is owned by the same company and Dana is running the front end of the show and Vince is back with WWE running the front end of the show, you can expect collaboration like meet and greet but you cannot expect any shoot events with WWE stars.

I will also be expecting and hoping that Israel wins this. He needs the win so much at this critical point in his career, and judging from his interview he knows what he stands to loose which is his recognition as a one time champion. Israel said that he is considered the underdog in this fight, and I think so too. Pereira had defeated him before, will be more confident in his ability, and it will take a lot of wits for Israel to snatch the win from him.

AJ already recorded a win on his way back to the top, Isreal can as well.

The rumor could be true where fans can now bet on WWE but I hope Dana would make it to be real wrestling and not a theater like how it is now. Featuring the different kinds of wrestlers showcasing styles and beating each other. Enough of that Powerslap because it doesn't look like a sport.

I guess we'll be seeing the wrestlers in UFC meets in WWE to have a real wrestling fight. This will really change the audience from kids to gamblers.

Perhaps it was all planned from the very start. You all know how Dana's mind works when it comes to making a brand and exploiting it to it's fullest.
As you can see in the background with the WWE into UFC and UFC into the WWE pictures on the walls.

So this tells you everything with the avenues for these two superstars in sports entertainment whose names are very well known across the globe.

Today starts the day which everybody has been waiting for with the official beginning of UFC 287 main event festivities,

Both videos are intriguing indeed, Israel Adesanya sure does have a lot of confidence in him, he surely handles his loss like a professional unlike Kamaru Usman who is still are trap in his limelight in being a champion I can say Israel Adesanya is almost familiar to this kind of feeling and it really helps for a fighter to have a recent loss to get used to this kind of feeling, that is why I can tell he will be focused into the fight for sure, and their position was a switch and now he has become the hunter,

While I don't know what is going into the mine of Alex Pereira, it seems he is going inside Israel Adesanya's mind or something, and wearing something to mock Izzy will not get into Israel Adesanya's mind well he just look terrible in doing the hype thing that is for sure,


I will go with different output, if you watch the training of Israel Adesanya, he is aiming to increase his cardio so much that he will surely drown Alex Pereira, and it will have a striking for sure, but if everything goes sideways Israel Adesanya will surely go into wrestling mode, Merab Dvalishvili style, this will surely go with a different thing rather than what Alex Pereira is expecting, but if Alex Pereira would expect that and he devises a plan for those pesky wrestling,


What did I watch? hahaha I really don't know what is going to happen here Dana White really wants to handle the WWE as well, but well maybe because of that two fighters Brock Lesner shifting to the UFC, and Ronda Rousey Shifting into the WWE, Dana White might got an idea about it, well from a slapping match to a Scripted wrestling, I really don't know what will surely happen but let's just wait,

What in the world did I just see to do with this WWE and UFC merger

'Stone Cold' Volkanovski and 'Hollywood' Whittaker celebrate WWE/UFC merger on Fox Sports Australia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVnIPGHqSH0

Funny how they had Brock Lesner and Ronda Rousey photos on the wall.
Those two making the transfer from UFC into the WWE.

Israel Adesanya is facing Alex Pereira for the 4th time, two times in kickboxing and Alex Pereira won a decision and one knockout and he lost one fight in MMA by knockout and it is surprising that the bookies are expecting a different result this time. It is going to be a striking battle and Alex Pereira found success 3 times and i am not sure it will be different for the 4th time, may be it might go to decision.

UFC 287: Alex Pereira vs Israel Adesanya 2 Media Day Live Stream happened right before the press conference and of course the weigh-ins.
With the original video spanning over 6 hours long here are the best clips from the very long media day which had delayed intermissions inbetween.

Pereira wears a jacket with the anime pikachu to get on Israel nerves is kind of strange.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b137YPqnvQ0

Yes, that might just be what he should be doing while Alex is more on standing. He needs to be cautious though.
Great video. There are just great wrestlers and grapplers that can easily take that belt from Pereira knowing that he is not going to last when taken down. 

Seeing how Gilbert Burns handled the fight against Khamzat, he is a better fighter against Masvidal.
Holland isn't very serious. This time I'm with Ponzinibbio. Just my few picks.

Bookies, fans, and gamblers are getting stranger too. 
Before, we just love betting for the champion, but today, the challengers keep on becoming the favorite.

I like this.
It highlights the critical 1st round where Izzy almost knocked him down and was saved by the bell. I think I talked about that a lot of times already and I believe Izzy could do it again at full strength.
Adjustments for both fighters will be seen. Pereira avoiding that to happen again, and Izzy tries to repeat it if ever he sees an opportunity. Even if Pereira is not defeated by Izzy yet, he should still not underestimate because he is the witness of that power punch that could knock him out.

Do you think Izzy will take this fight to the mat and try to exhaust Pereira with grappling? Because I think he will and that might be the best strategy to claim the title back.

Fully agree with the above on this fact the champion is the underdog on this card which is strange, especially since the fight was less than a year ago and in this the title was won so recently, thus the sting of this loss is still swollen for Izzy.

Just seen this rather informative clip on how Adesanya needs to accomplish to take out Alex and regain his championship from what I thought was at first a really good AI bot who was narrating the video. But then goes into why Khamzat would be a contender to Pereira if he does manage to win.
So it explains many different scenarios of whatever the outcome of this, what Israel has mentioned before, being his final fight in this saga.
Because if he doesn't put him out this time then he can not compete against The Poatan ever again.
Video explanation of how Pereira's deficiency in his grappling technique will be his down fall:

@YuginKadoya
Love the picks.
The Adesanya pick seems to be just enough at @1.65, I'll take it. But it's kind of surprising like Leon Edwards versus Kamaru Usman where the challenger is the favorite instead of the champion. Perhaps, fans are still expecting the ex-champion to get his title back just like the story of the recent fight that was mentioned.

The Gilbert Burns versus Jorge Masvidal though is not that profitable. At only 1.18 for Burns, it's difficult to risk a bet that doesn't really pay much. I might just add this to a parlay combined with the main match. Maybe with Adrian Yanez and Kevin Holand. Both fighters are favorites too and I am rooting for them to win their respective matches.

Nice post; but you forgot the most important part 
https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc-287-pereira-vs-adesanya-2/matches

Huge news in the sports world with these mega corporations merging with Endeavor to form one of the biggest sports entertainment company:

https://theathletic.com/4374820/2023/04/03/endeavor-wwe-ufc

Conor Mcgregor & Jake Paul reactions to this merger and what this means to them being a part of the same corporation now:

Thought that Vince McMahon was on the verge of selling the WWE back in January. This deal should serve him and Dana White alot better in the long term.

I also think the same Israel Adesanya really is dominating their fight and for good reasons, he is way more experienced than Pereira with the MMA, he is the champion, and his striking was better than Alex Pereira, Alex Pereira has better boxing than Adesanya's but watching the fight over and over Israel Adesanya was dominating the jab, just like what he did in their kickboxing match it repeats itself in their fight in the UFC, and this is the same the fight was the same as their fight in the precious ones, a lot needs to take note on that, we need to look further and deep dive the things Adesanya is dominating withing those grounds of their fight,

Seeing those videos of the fight I was really amused that there is a chance for Adesanya to win, in Alex Pereira's rematch with Artem Vakhitov Alex Pereira won against Artem Vakhitov in their 1st match while their rematch Artem Vakhitov found a way in winning against Pereira surely I think that is a weakness for Peraira and looking his mindset for what is going on with his mind while having a rematch with Artem Vakhitov I think Israel Adesanya can be capitalized that in his advantage, and I can feel that Adesanya can surely win in their rematch,

Now Here is the link for the UFC 287 Multi-Master Challenge

Well, I think the odds were on Adesanya's side because he is still winning in those times he owns the rounds and dominating them, even though there are times that Alex Pereira was constantly forwarding to put him to the corner, he always finds a way to trap Pereira with those right and left straight just like in the 1st fight, for me I think people are seeing a chance for Israel Adesanya to redeeming himself, and right now seeing Israel Adesanya not breaking his will, and accepting his lost to Alex Pereira, he is accepting to be a challenger,

And Pretty Alex Pereira is not as invincible as all other fighters things and he is not that scary if you look at his fighting records he is not unbeatable because he certainly still has losses, in his amateur kickboxing career he lost to Sergej Maslobojev, in his Professional Kickboxing career he got plenty more Jason Wilnis, (that is 2 losses) César Almeida, Artem Levin, Artur Kyshenko, Yousri Belgaroui, and his rematch with Artem Vakhitov, and in his debut, to MMA he lost to Quemuel Ottoni, with a rear-naked choke
Submission here is the video for those losses and the UFC 287 countdown,

WOW! I have never seen that before, It was twitching itching to get out I bet UFC babes that notice that would surely want a taste of the Bon Gaming! no pun intended it was hilarious that it keeps on moving like that, but I am not interested in that kind of thing I am here for the girls but again, Francis Ngannou might have seen it and tried striking it, it was really a bad impression for him seeing that, Bon Gaming doesn't were undergarments so you could see it twitching like that,

But Moving on, I really wish Francis Ngannou is still in the UFC but that is his decision to get out of the UFC and be free as he wishes he is now out of action regarding the Heavyweight inside the UFC, it is a bummer that we would not likely be going to see Jon Jones VS Francis Ngannou fight,

Well, at 1st I was really annoyed I got to admit that the flappy bird game was really a hard game for me but upon practicing the game I learned how to play it and so in this post I surely solved the captcha, but with the 50 over coins that was really difficult,


WOW! Israel Adesanya is still the favorite to win I really thought that the odds will be siding for Pereira this time it was not, Israel Adesanya is still the favorite, and we are seeing an Underdog champion, I never expected even in Sportsbet Adesanya is still the favorite, well pretty much I am excited on what may happen right now, some rematch where the champion has lost to the challenger the recent champion can not reclaim his belt anymore because some champion have let their defeat gets into their head so much that they think that they are dominant towards the fight and not admitting their lost but for Israel Adesanya, he is completely OK with his lost and wants to reclaim his title so much as a challenger because there are some recent champion mindset that they think that they are still the champion and that 1st fight was just a fluke, but Adesanya is not treating Pereira that way, he is treating him as a true champion, that is why he is preparing for this fight so eagerly,
