I may be the worst judge if ever, I only gave Marlon Vera one round on that fight and it's not even a dominant one that I could say he really won it. You are correct, there's just no activity from him, then he got frustrated by the slippery movement of Cory, and I think he only realized it at the last 20 seconds of the 5th round when he became so aggressive which we all know is too late.
We could say Sandhagen really dominated Vera. No questions, this guy has a greater goal ahead.


I think we have the same judgment about the fight I think it should be a majority decision win for Cory Sandhagen because if not it is likely a robbery even though Cory Sandhagen won, it was a split decision meaning it was a close fight which is not the case, even Dana White will surely agree with us, he even implies that the judge that scores a lot for Marlon Vera should not be allowed to judge next time, I think it is too late now, the damage has already been done, I think there are many fights that already have suffered the same fate as this one,


I agree with the fan there, make it happen, that's what the fans want so give it to them and I do believe Cory Sandhagen is ready too because he didn't hesitate at the post-fight interview, credits to him for challenging the top guy after the fight with Vera, some would say in their press con, "they will take a rest first then think". I mean, he badly wants to have a title shot so this is the faster way to be seen by the champion and possibly become a title contender.


This is just for me I think it is still too early for Cory Sandhagen to fight Merab Dvalishvili, because Merab Dvalishvili is a heavy wrestler, what I mean is 48 takedowns is not that easy it required a lot of stamina, which Cory Sandhagen didn't showcase it is too early in my opinion, but maybe a little training on enhancing his stamina tank, and upgrading a few tweaks on his wrestling and grappling approached then we could see a new Cory Sandhagen, but again I'd like to see Cory Sandhagen in a different fight but he truly wants Merab Dvalishvili, then I think it is good to go,

Marlon Vera fight which I currently have on the UFC Fight Pass playing to rewatch the fight it was a disappointing loss but he didn't do much during the entire fight. First and second round was Cory's I think Vera won one or two rounds after that. But Sandhagen just looked more active and shooting those takedowns to win the fight. Even Marlon's coach in the corner kept telling him inbetween rounds he had to start fighting.

During the post-interview fight COry calls out Merab and asks him if he is hungry, and he had something for him and it don't taste good! hah, now that was funny.

After the fight Merab was at the arena but causing some trouble as you can see from the footage captured by the fan who was getting attacked by the UFC fighter.

Holly looked in great shape and beat her opponent quite easily even though it went the distance. There was no doubt she was going to win with her ground game. But I do agree with you, she is getting quite old so she only has a few more years but hearing she has another 5 fights to go so to close her contract is something unusual to hear.

I actually caught Ronda Rousey's very first fight at UFC 3 when she beat Miesha Tate for her first title win on UFC 24/7 fight pass today.
That was so long ago and to think Holm beat her to win the championship is very impressive the way she was the armbar master back in 2016 onwards.

Actually, Holly Holm did a great job in returning back, and just like she said she has evolved her style and added wrestling and grappling to the mix, and I think on her long absence in the UFC she has surely been preparing for a comeback, she now knows what she lacks and have trained for it a long time, and I think she has the dedication in coming back for the belt I just think that is her target returning in the UFC, I also catch glimpses on Ronda Rousey aswell and Holly Holm was the 1st fighter who gives her the Loss,

Cory Sandhagen just like Holly Holm is a different fighter with his wrestling now, I just don't see him winning against Marlon Vera but that new style he has surely is Marlon Vera's weakness and I really know that Marlon Vera has a slow pace starting the fight and Cory Sandhagen exploited that to give him advantage on the scores, I really think that Sandhagen has won the majority of rounds he should have won a majority decision and again the Judges have busted it again, so Dana White was really concern and frustrated about that result with the Split decision,

That Merab Dvalishvili incident was really kind of not Merab I really think he is a cool and calm guy but this is just a fan and getting into an altercation easily I think  he needs to contained his cool or maybe he is just scaring the fan that is all,

I was surprised to read that Holly Holm was given a six-fight contract with the UFC.  I figured her fighting days were behind her after taking down Ronda Rousey in one of the biggest upsets ever, who everyone thought was unbeatable.  That was a while ago and Holly wasn't a spring chicken back then, so it's surprising to see she's signing long fight deals with the UFC while Ronda Rousey is messing around with fake wrestling.  Congrats to Holly, and while I'm surprised, that seems to be the trend with her.  Surprising everyone.  Let's see what she does next.

My oh my, our bet for Marlon Vera didn't win. And my parlay also doesn't look pretty good as Tucker Lutz was also defeated by Daniel Pineda.

This was my line on that fight.
Vera - Holm - Landwehr - Maycee Barber - Duraev - Lutz
4/6 which for me is bad, I'll take one lost in my parlay but two seem to be an odd loss.
Anyway, that's a good fight. Holly Holm dominated Yana Santos, which must feel pretty good for her as she was able to win again after being gone for almost a year, rumored retirement, and her last fight was a big split decision loss against Vieira.
If she wants to retire this should be it, a winning record before she steps out and hangs her gloves.

I never really expected Cory Sandhagen to throw many takedowns like that and we all know that Marlon Vera kind of has a slow start and that has made him really lost in this fight, because when the fight ended with a decision he doesn't get a chance to make up for that score, Cory was shooting takedowns from the start of the fight,

Well, Holly Holm's return is signaling that she still wants the spotlight and I think she is targeting a higher spot in the ranking may be a Raquel Pennington, or Julianna Peña before calling it quits, but maybe the Belt but we all know about Amanda Nunes but let's just wait



Here are the result of my pull pick and my Multi-Master Challenge pick and this is one of my worst picks right now

I think that Khamzat Chimaev VS Paolo Costa is in the works right now Well Khamzat Chimaev is moving to the Middleweight because of this Then I think if Colby Covington became the champion if he beats Leon Edwards then I think it is alright for Khamzat Chimaev to take the belt for him and in an interview with Ariel Helwani that Colby Covington will be an easy fight for him, and right now he isn't getting any fight yet, because it is Ramadan so Khamzat Chimaev is on fasting that  means it is a hard time for him if he accepted a fight right now without taking any food at all,


It seems that is the reason why we do not see Khamzat Chimaev inside the octagon until Ramadan ends it is fasting time for the Muslim community it will be 30 days of fasting, if I am not mistaken because it has started on March 22, and it will end on April 20, so yeah no fight for Khamzat Chimaev by then, because he will not have food intake, but Paolo Costa should be ready because after this Ramadan it will be game over for him,


I also watch his training it was really intense alright, and I have noticed that Israel Adesanya seems buff right now his muscle seems bigger now, so this is a good sign that he is going to have more durability, and stronger so he can rug dolled Pereira, but yeah he still needs to lower his weigh for the fight he might get heavier but I think this will be very effective on wrestling now,


Well, wrestling is the game plan so I think that training is fit for him, cardio training to lengthen his cardio inside the octagon, to last for those takedowns, or even shooting 48 take-downs like Merab Dvalishvili or even more, and that extra muscle you are talking about should be great for takedowns aswell and for durability purpose too,

I think uncle Dana White has something to say about who's going to fight who, but surely now that Khamzat Chimaev is moving up to 185 to the Middleweight surely to face Paolo Costa and Alex Pereira, now Colby Covington in the 2nd rank is getting at Leon Edwards, well even though Leon Edwards has express that he doesn't like Colby Covington as an opponent well he is champion now because now he is nit-picking a fight for himself, and Edwards wants Jorge Masvidal, but yeah the UFC and Dana White fuck it they want a Colby Covington VS Leon Edwards fight instead,


I think that Khamzat Chimaev VS Paolo Costa is in the works right now Well Khamzat Chimaev is moving to the Middleweight because of this Then I think if Colby Covington became the champion if he beats Leon Edwards then I think it is alright for Khamzat Chimaev to take the belt for him and in an interview with Ariel Helwani that Colby Covington will be an easy fight for him, and right now he isn't getting any fight yet, because it is Ramadan so Khamzat Chimaev is on fasting that  means it is a hard time for him if he accepted a fight right now without taking any food at all,


Based on his training I think he is enhancing his cardio more and readying into an all-out wrestling for sure, right now he can apply a Merab Dvalishvili kind of style to Alex Pereira, I think he can really dominate him with that kind of tactic it will surely disrupt Pereira just like what Petr Yan, did but what if Alex Pereira would be accustomed to wrestling as well, but surely because he just recently entered MMA I think Israel Adesanya will be more advance than him, just look at that intense training,


I also watch his training it was really intense alright, and I have noticed that Israel Adesanya seems buff right now his muscle seems bigger now, so this is a good sign that he is going to have more durability, and stronger so he can rug dolled Pereira, but yeah he still needs to lower his weigh for the fight he might get heavier but I think this will be very effective on wrestling now,

No doubt.
Sparring with heavier fighters might be the key to his win. Pereira really looks big especially his upper body, if Adesanya will try to dominate him using a takedown strategy, he may need upper body strength too and that's to keep him down and dominate as many rounds as he possibly can. The stand-up fight seems to not work unless he can use his kicks but that would be risky and we saw it at their last fight, so using other means will be their next step.

Meanwhile, here is the update for the pound-for-pound rankings according to CBS after Leon Edwards won against Usman.
https://www.cbssports.com/mma/news/ufc-pound-for-pound-fighter-rankings-leon-edwards-ascends-into-top-five-with-second-win-over-kamaru-usman/
1. Alexander Volkanovski -- Featherweight champion (24-2)
2. Islam Makhachev -- Lightweight champion (24-1)
3. Jon Jones -- Heavyweight champion (27-1, 1 NC)
4. Leon Edwards -- Welterweight champion (20-3, 1 NC)
5. Israel Adesanya -- Middleweight champion (23-2)
It's surprising how Adesanya is still there but that's a sign he will be the favorite on their bout on April 8.
Leon Edwards though, I still want to see him KO some fighters and be a real dominant champion. We only saw him fight Usman with the belt on his side, I am expecting a better performance in his upcoming bouts before I put him on my own top 5 pound-for-pound rankings.

WOW! Alexander Volkanovski is in the top 1, while Jon Jones is in the 3rd position I think this is a pound-for-pound rank that is not really biased on fight 1 fighter but what if CBSSpots is biased for Alexander Volkanovski, well we will never know, and I think Leon Edwards really deserves to be there but surely he needs to minimize those fouls that he is committing against his fight to Kamaru Usman, but right now I really focus with the upcoming Marlon Vera VS Cory Sandhagen fight and I really forgot to put my full picks in here, but maybe later, when I finish work,

For sure he and his team are cooking up some plans to take down the current champion and I guess he has rested well and watched his Stylebender channel right now he has certain training for stress and the mind aswell so I think he was all good and prepared for the rematch, and if you want to watch the whole video here is the LINK he got Blood Diamond in the UFC Welterweight division, Carlos Ulberg, in the Light Heavyweight as his sparring partners, and Tyson Pedro in the Light Heavyweight in the training camp,

Well, Adesanya has so many skills up his sleeve, I am guessing there is already a game plan written and a part of it is the weakness that they saw in their first fight. First, Pereira's chin is not that hard, Adesanya already made him wobble in that first round of their fight. Alex might become more cautious about those fists of Israel and that will be an opportunity for takedowns if he becomes too careful defending his upper body.

WHOA!!!! Surprise-surprise, I was really excited about this fight I really want Israel Adesanya to conquer that fear over Alex Pereira, and this fight will surely prove a lot I want to really see Israel Adesanya getting back and settle his score with Alex Pereira he should transition into wrestling he is quite good at it actually so why not make it as a 100% tool kit he can let go as kryptonite for Alex Pereira I really like that to happen and to see because I also predicted that Israel Adesanya will surely show us some new moves and this time wrestling was really what he had shown us,

perreira needs to be focused during the whole fight and wait for Adesanya to make mistakes due to his emotional state, because Adesanya is a fighter who performs well in the fight and this time he becomes very motivated to win the fight
The stats don't lie and thank you for sharing that. I think cardio will be a big deal here again but I am hoping Adesanya already made some improvements on that part. The same with Alex he needs to be focused every time and he cannot just give away free shots in his head. If possible, take the fight to the mat and exhaust Alex first.

I believe that the odds this time should be in favor of Perreira, I remember that when the two fought the odds were @1.40 for Israel Adesanya and @2.40 for Pereira, but as Perreira won the fight I think that this time Pereira should have @1.30 or @1.40 and Adesanya had to be at odds above @2.00, probably many people will bet on Adesanya to win the fight, I can't understand why they keep underestimating perreira

he can win it now without a doubt.

many people and even bookmakers are looking in the direction that Adesanya is preparing very well so that this time he wins and takes revenge for past defeats, the problem is that in a fight in which the fighter will fight the same opponent as already defeated you in the past, the fighter who was defeated loses his fighting spirit or optimism right at the beginning of the fight if he suffers blows, this is a reaction that the body has, the head of the fighter who was defeated becomes a mess and the fighter loses concentration, for this reason I prefer to bet on perreira. but many news and analyzes and even data from the past fight indicate that Adesanya has a small advantage over perreira


I have checked on Stake that Israel Adesanya was still the favorite to win, over Alex Pereira, we can see from their last fight that he is still dominating most rounds until Alex Pereira just lost himself out of rage then that sudden burst of punches got him, well for me wrestling was the only weakness of Pereira and Israel Adesanya should go and finish this up into the ground, even though stylistically it is not his style this is the only way he can win against Alex Pereira,

I think both fighters are preparing eagerly and for Pereira, I think it is enhancing his takedown defense more, he can not learn wrestling that fast, so I think this is the only thing he is training on right now, while Adesanya on his wrestling even more,

I was surprised to read that Holly Holm was given a six-fight contract with the UFC.  I figured her fighting days were behind her after taking down Ronda Rousey in one of the biggest upsets ever, who everyone thought was unbeatable.  That was a while ago and Holly wasn't a spring chicken back then, so it's surprising to see she's signing long fight deals with the UFC while Ronda Rousey is messing around with fake wrestling.  Congrats to Holly, and while I'm surprised, that seems to be the trend with her.  Surprising everyone.  Let's see what she does next.

Well in the interview she is not very sure what in her last fight that is it, but she wants to fight some more, I think this time it is a 6 fight contract for the UFC, that she has signed, I think Holly Holm just needs a long break that is why she has cut ties suddenly with the UFC, I think a lot of rest is needed by Holms while I think Ronda Rousey just don't want to get hurt anymore, that is why she changed her career to fake wrestling, well showbiz ness isn't really that bad, as long as she is safe in doing what she loves most,

They are wanting Usman to fight Chimaev which I mean wouldn't be like Diaz vs Khamzat, He didn't want it from the get go and missing weight just to slide out of that fight from happening. And to be honest, I didn't mind it since everybody was saying he was going to just slaughter poor Nate in the first.

Just let Leon bask in the glory for now since he well deserved it and nobody can say anything about it this time around.


Speaking of Khamzat Chimaev here is a VIDEO clip on why nobody wants to fight Chimaev, and it was also hilarious

I really like Khamzat Chimaev to stay in the Welterweight because there are rumors that he will be going up the Middleweight class to fight Alex Pereira for the belt, but I really want him to stay for now so he can settle his score with Colby Covington, for me, Kamaru Usman will be bulldozed by Chimaev for sure just like what he did with Kevin Holland, but because of Usman's level of grappling he will be having a hard time with Usman but eventually Khamzat Chimaev strength is really proven out of this world, Yes he will surely Slaughter Nate Diaz, I am picturing out what will happen with their fight, actually the one that I am not picturing out was the Usman VS Edwards fight so I can not make a decision back then,

Well, Dana White is bullying Leon Edwards to fight Colby Covington and he can not do something about it, because even though he is the champion Dana White still has control over who's fighting who,

UFC 287: Pereira vs Adesanya 2 - The Heat Is On | Official Trailer | April 8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq0FPm_7NzE

The Brand Ambassador of Stake.com is Israel Adesanya so I think I will be a bit biased when the odds come out.
 
Flashback: He got Pereira on the first round of their first meet and if only there is more time it could've been an early KO. But the fight went to Round 5 with both fighters having exhausted bodies. Pereira got Adesanya on the chin and the rest is history. Ref stopped the fight.

A revenge fight for the last stylebender so we might see all the skills that he has in this fight. He has nothing to lose anymore but there is something he can gain back. The title, the fame, and his reputation.
Most fighters will come back strong after a huge loss, this is it, he can win it now without a doubt. As for Alex, he should be ready because the challenger will give his everything with no hesitation.

WHOA!!!! Surprise-surprise, I was really excited about this fight I really want Israel Adesanya to conquer that fear over Alex Pereira, and this fight will surely prove a lot I want to really see Israel Adesanya getting back and settle his score with Alex Pereira he should transition into wrestling he is quite good at it actually so why not make it as a 100% tool kit he can let go as kryptonite for Alex Pereira I really like that to happen and to see because I also predicted that Israel Adesanya will surely show us some new moves and this time wrestling was really what he had shown us,

UFC 287: Pereira vs Adesanya 2 - The Heat Is On | Official Trailer | April 8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq0FPm_7NzE

The Brand Ambassador of Stake.com is Israel Adesanya so I think I will be a bit biased when the odds come out.
 
Flashback: He got Pereira on the first round of their first meet and if only there is more time it could've been an early KO. But the fight went to Round 5 with both fighters having exhausted bodies. Pereira got Adesanya on the chin and the rest is history. Ref stopped the fight.

A revenge fight for the last stylebender so we might see all the skills that he has in this fight. He has nothing to lose anymore but there is something he can gain back. The title, the fame, and his reputation.

They are wanting Usman to fight Chimaev which I mean wouldn't be like Diaz vs Khamzat, He didn't want it from the get go and missing weight just to slide out of that fight from happening. And to be honest, I didn't mind it since everybody was saying he was going to just slaughter poor Nate in the first.

Just let Leon bask in the glory for now since he well deserved it and nobody can say anything about it this time around.

It was really an unbelievable event where Herb Dean doesn't see the glove grabbing of Leon Edwards I think Kamaru Usman could protest about this but surely Dana White doesn't like him anymore, so yeah he surely wants Colby Covington to fight and compete for the belt against Leon Edwards like he used to want, or maybe Conor McGregor to be back again just like what Jon Jones did, in the same manner of fashion, but yeah it was really the officials of the UFC that is deciding who's fighting who and not Dana White,

I think uncle Dana White has something to say about who's going to fight who, but surely now that Khamzat Chimaev is moving up to 185 to the Middleweight surely to face Paolo Costa and Alex Pereira, now Colby Covington in the 2nd rank is getting at Leon Edwards, well even though Leon Edwards has express that he doesn't like Colby Covington as an opponent well he is champion now because now he is nit-picking a fight for himself, and Edwards wants Jorge Masvidal, but yeah the UFC and Dana White fuck it they want a Colby Covington VS Leon Edwards fight instead,

It did not disappoint and probably only for those who thought Usman could beat Edwards at the O2 which was a sell out and had their best gate of any event. I can't imagine how much in Pay-Per-Views made for them that night.

It was really a sell out I think it did well in the pay per view aswell, but right now Leon Edwards wants Jorge Masvidal but because Masvidal is way below the ranking I think ranks 11th a title match is not proper for him, and the hype is on for Colby Covington, many surely wants him to fight Leon Edwards and he was in the UFC 286 for weight in because he is a replacement fighter and doing the UFC the favor if 1 in the main event is not available that is why he is fighting next against Leon Edwards, and I guess the pay per view will blow out again when this two fight for sure,

Had Leon Edwards to win but it was too close to call especially with all the fouls/glove&cage grabbing/point deduction against him. Rocky managed to do it in that champion style he is now a legend for in his home of England.
Leon was confident that he was going to be able to defeat Usman again and he did it even if it was by majority decision and not KO as before. I think he has become used to fighting Usman and then not as much fear as he did the first time they fought were Usman dominated three rounds and would have won by decision had Leon not pulled the Magic kick that Knocked him out. Leon's win settles any doubts that he won the first fight by luck, he deserve the Welterweight title.
For Usman, It is going to be another difficult time for him, he really thought he will be able to reclaim his title, a title held for a long time by him. He worked hard for this fight and prevented Leon any chance to knock him out again. It was a close fight and he could have won. Kamaru Usman after the fight said he was not done and was going to get back up, I will be looking to see maybe he will want to fight Leon again.
Very entertaining and competitive fight from both fighters, Good to watch.
It was a very entertaining fight and the buildup to it was spot on with all the jawing at eachother at the press conference along with the weigh-ins staredowns. It was all done to perfection!
Well done on one of the best UFC events I have seen and witnessed in a very long time.
Now the story is on who Leon Rocky Edwards will chose to fight next. Everyone wants to see him get the fight he wants with Masvidal for all the bad blood between them boiling over for all these years now. Didn't know he attacked Leon before until I had seen this video.

He had his side of the story of the incident during the Joe Rogan Experience afterwards:

Wow! What a UFC event as I haven't seen one with so many upsets on top tier fighters in a very long time even the main event was a shocker having the defense of the title being an upset @3.15x odds just before the fight.

Amazing fights every single one of them. Hope you all made some bank from atleast a few like I did.
Colby showed up in his purple suit and Elvis glasses as the backup fighter for this main event but he was yelling at Rocky after he won the fight because he is the next up to challenge with a shot at the title.
He was saying he was going to kill him.
That was a bit excessive to be screaming at someone in the arena and across the octagon when he just fought and won his fight against Usman.
Come on, he has no class. And even told during the interview that he is Trump's main guy.
So that tells you a little something about him and what kind of mindset he is currently in.
It really was an unbelievable event, Herb Dean just call 2 groin kick against Leon Edwards but I have seen 5 in all, and Kamaru Usman was really complaining the whole fight that he can not focus so much, it goes to show how badly Leon Edwards wants to win this, that he resulted in glove grabbing that Herb Dean doesn't see, cage holding to secure those crucial takedowns from Usman, and an eye poke that Herb Dean also doesn't call that Kamaru Usman needs to shrug off because it wasn't called, while there are a groin kick that Usman fell down and struggles but he eventually needs to shrug it off aswell because it wasn't call as a groin kick I really think Kamaru Usman is feeling really frustrated, I really don't know what to feel for the fight but yeah Leon Edwards still has a great performance Through in through despite all of that fouls he committed, Well we can not blame him in the heat of the battle,
It did not disappoint and probably only for those who thought Usman could beat Edwards at the O2 which was a sell out and had their best gate of any event. I can't imagine how much in Pay-Per-Views made for them that night.
