Again, the rules "dont let judges decide your faith" worked. I also believe that Gordon won that fight, but he should have done more against UFC future cash cow. Judges that evening made a decision of not who won that fight, but who will sell more PPV in future. And Pimblett with growing popularity and 3-0 in UFC looked much better than Gordon with 7-4. With all that in-fight taunts Pimblett made a overall good impression on judges, and the scales dropped lowered to his side.

Nobody was happy the way it ended especially Ankalaev because it seemed during the interview right after the fight he kind of stormed off.
He was expecting to be given the belt and even Dana was in the octagon holding it ready to hand it over to him but then heard the judges scores.
It was all a bit weird and everybody even the announcers during the post show were stunned by this outcome.
Both of this guys will not get title shot for some time, and this division is in real problem with this and injuries of Prochazka and Rakic.He was expecting to be given the belt and even Dana was in the octagon holding it ready to hand it over to him but then heard the judges scores.
It was all a bit weird and everybody even the announcers during the post show were stunned by this outcome.
There was a lot of complains from people about co main event Paddy Pimblett vs Jared Gordon and judges decision.
Jared Gordon had better percentage of significant strikes and he had three takedowns in that fight, so I don't know how this could be unanimous decision win for Pimblett.

UFC president did address and acknowledge there certainly is a problem in this division during the post fight press conference.
Having a vacant title for very long is not something which looks too good for that weight class. He does want Teixeira to fight in the upcoming UFC in Brazil for the championship which I found strange but it is what it is.
About Paddy, I agree with you on this as well.
Jared clearly won two out of the three rounds and thus should of won the fight.
But it doesn't look like the UFC could allow Paddy to lose because he does look like their cash cow as Conor was many moons ago.
He draws them into the seats as Dana had alluded to in the conference, this was the 29 straight sellout of a UFC main event in a row.

Damn, just saw my betslip was voided, thought the match got cancelled but turns out the match just ended as a draw -- apparently, Ankalaev wasn't really cool, saying he wasn't sure he'd want to fight again, while Blachowitz himself actually thought his opponent deserved the win.
So I should have lost my bet, but judges made sure I got a refund instead.
Main event was decided by the judges and they ended it with a split decision draw which is very rare in all UFC fights done in it's history only five were decided in a draw for a main event/title bout.So I should have lost my bet, but judges made sure I got a refund instead.
Here are the scorecards which were available right after the fight and shown on the post show:
Very rear thing to happen in UFC to see a draw in main event, but it happened and Dana White was not happy.
He is already planning to make new fight in lightheavyweight division after this terrible main event, and this was his own words.
Dana plan now is to make Glover Teixeira vs Jamahal Hill in Brazil for vacant title in this division.

Nice picks @buwaytress
This Paddy Pimblett thing has spilled over onto other media with him going after a well known sportscaster who has interviewed a ton of UFC fighters in the past on his show. I can see this affecting the outcome of his fight same as Adesanya, picking fights and not concentrating on his own.

Been a while since I put down on UFC but I'm thinking Błachowicz has really good odds (3.36 with a boost at Sportsbet) so I put a few satoshis down on him. Almost acca'd that with Paddy for over 45/10 but I thought better not chase too much.
For the MM picks, I went for most of the heavy favourites (anything less than 14/10) except Blachowicz, and then randomly picking the guys whose names sound more aggressive (yes, purely arbitrary in other words).

A huge fight card coming up for UFC 282 this weekend with Jan Błachowicz going up against Magomed Ankalaev for his first title defense since winning the title a couple of months ago.
Another fight i can see alot of people wagering on is Paddy Pimblett vs Jared Gordon.
A few fights were cancelled including Jiri as I mentioned above and the Robbie Lawler bout.
The multi master challenge for UFC 282 is up for you to select the winners of each bout and be able to win some prizes:

Jiri Prochazka will not be in the main card for the next UFC 282 event as he has injured his shoulder.
https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/11/23/23475995/jiri-prochazka-issues-statement-suffering-injury-forced-him-to-vacate-ufc-light-heavyweight-title
So this means that the light heavyweight championship title is vacant and Jan Blachowciz will be trying to regain his title after losing it to Glover Teixeira in that thrilling bout in UFC 267 late last year:

sure did ruined the mood of the crowd. seem very shady that they waited for the last minute before announcing. they crowd would have been walking out if they just knew the main event is Cutelaba.
but i guess they already know the result even if derrick and spivak will not fight. they know derrick will be beaten terribly.
A fighter pulling out of a fight especially a main event card bout is quite disappointing.but i guess they already know the result even if derrick and spivak will not fight. they know derrick will be beaten terribly.
But details have come to light that when he arrived to the hospital he tried to return for the fight but wasn't able to. So his issue wasn't completely cured. Whatever this was that made him not able to contend in the octagon.
Derrick Lewis has been on a losing streak this year but him pulling out so late in a card will probably be hitting him with a fine.
No UFC this weekend due to holidays in the US but will be returning in the month of December.

Luckily the bet I had placed on the under 4.5 rounds did win as well, to my surprised because they were into the 5th. Don't ask me how but the bookies graded it as a win and obviously fight going the distance was graded as a no.
Should be a error somewhere so wouldn't be surprised if they resettle the bet later as a Loss or maybe a Void .
Anyways congrats on two solid wins, Pereira was a nice hit @2.7.
Going to sit down soon and have a look at the lines for the weekend, and solid tips?
Also a free chance for some freebets at the Weekly Multi Master:

That was close but it did infact win by the bookmarkers own rules to bettors of the UFC.
Derrick Lewis main event was cancelled for this bout due to illness. There wasn't much news about it yet but it was said he tried to return from the first attempt to leave the hospital to fight but couldn't.

The announcers explained that the main event had been replaced by the co-main event during the end of the prelims:

Adesanya- Pereira going to be a wild one 
Both fighter's will ensure a great fight as they are both very skilled fighters. They both have different reasons for fighting, Israel will be fighting not to loose again to Pereira who remains the only fighter to have knocked him out, and Pereira will be fighting to ensure he wins again. Israel has more experience in the MMA than Pereira, maybe that will count, But Pereira is who I see will win.

Israel has more experience in the MMA than Pereira, maybe that will count, But Pereira is who I see will win. It was a good enough fight, although not that entertaining. It was very obvious how Adesanya was not taking too much risk. That's understandable because he is facing against somebody he knows very well, somebody who already defeated him not just once but twice. And that was perhaps the reason why Pereira defeated him once again, the third time around. Pereira must have a big psychological effect on Adesanya. Adesanya could hardly get aggressive.
I'd say Poirier vs Chandler was the more entertaining match, although both matches had a great ending.
Adesanya knows how hard Pereira's punches are he talks about it when Strickland fought Pereira, he is fully aware so he never takes a chance and he can't do what he always does, Adesanya fought fighters with hard punches in the past but the fear of going down again by Pereira's punches haunts him, he should have fought Pereira in the floor in the 5th round by taking him down because it will take the gas out of Pereira but he chooses to face him standing and do counter punch but it backfire, I still want to see a rematch I hope Izzy is ok now and find his way up again, he still has it.
Him also saying he would wanted to be his next opponent has received alot of attention.
I still believe Adesanya still has it. He can still dominate other talented fighters out there. This is a different fight he had just against Pereira. He probably didn't have 100% confidence against the man. He obviously was too cautious. He knew Pereira very well. He knew he was already defeated twice. He knew Pereira's power because he was already a victim of it. Not only was Pereira's punches hard-hitting, they were also accurate.
But despite this, it was Pereira who was actually saved by the bell right in the opening round. The scorecards were all in favor of Adesanya. I think it was in the third round when Adesanya took down Pereira to the ground even if he was already raining punches on him. I guess he could actually have finished him right there and then hadn't he decided to be cautious and go for the take down.
Israel was 3/1 favorite to win before the combination of punches that Alex threw and if he survived the final round, he would of won, according to the scorecards.But despite this, it was Pereira who was actually saved by the bell right in the opening round.

It was a thrilling fight and not one to forget for along time to the former champ.
Adesanya is probably still reeling from the fight because several days later he was detained at New York's airport before going back home:
https://nypost.com/2022/11/16/israel-adesanya-arrested-for-carrying-brass-knuckles-at-jfk
He mentioned right after the fight he had to deal with some issues physically but probably mentally as well.

But unfortunately, it did not go that way, but I adore Adesanya for admitting his lost, and very sportsman in how he conducts himself after the defeat, he makes a bow to the crowd, and in the post-fight conference he thanks everyone at his team on his great venture as a champion, this is not the end for Adesanya, he is still young and can beat any fighter in the middleweight, I'm sure the UFC management would want to do this again, maybe they will let Alex defend it first against a worthy opponent and Izzy fights a top-ranked fighter, before they do a rematch.
