UFC Countdown was released a few days ago but just watched it on cable and it was a good one to know the fighters on the main card if you haven't seen them fight before.
Here is the link to the video from the official UFC channel:

Santos I think has the greatest chance to win as the heavy underdog on the card for the UFC #275 main events in Singapore.

Thanks, I had a nice 2 days off from work because I did last 2 weeks a long time and managed to fill my nights with football, too bad they do not like giving me rest on weekend or I could try watch new things like UFC.

I already make one bet on Croatia tonight, now I also made a Santos bet @4.86. I like the odds too,,, but that Sevchenko Valentina looks like a sure thing so is my prediction pick Wink

The fight Shevchenko - Santos will be interesting to watch, Shevchenko dominates in her division, and the odds of 1.12 for her victory suggests that Santos does not have much chance. Santos is younger and more energetic, but Shevchenko is a very accurate fighter, she can simply keep Santos away from her and work at a distance. Look who Santos defeated by knockout, there are fighters who had a few victories in total... For me, Shevchenko's victory is obvious here, and I admit that this will be an early end to the fight.

Great video from the opponent who has a very high chance to take the title away from Teixeira this weekend's main event.

Well they can't retain the title forever and just retire with it. They do go away being champion of that division but the title is fought over amongst the current in the table until one comes out on top to reclaim this belt.
It is strange how it is arranged but the president of the UFC Dana White makes up these rules on how it comes to pass.
So there isn't really anythinig anybody else can say to oppose how it all comes to be.

Getting ready for the UFC 275 this weekend?
If so, put in your picks for the UFC Challenge up here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-275-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5401701

My picks are Jedrzejczyk, Santos and Prochazka for the main cards.

@rdbase

Wait so you could just never fight and retain the title if you never accept a challenge? There must be a rule against that otherwise it is just well,,, weird and unfair.

I guess it is still a long complicated journey for me to understand this, I am more used to a body that determines these things and puts down fixed seasons otherwise it is just impossible for longterm planning Wink

Thanks

I think that is the case leea-1334.

But you can also retire with the title and stay champion just like Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Talking about Khabib and you asking about McGregor before with him posting on his instagram:
https://www.givemesport.com/88017206-khabib-vs-conor-mcgregor-nurmagomedovs-face-after-training-after-ufc-229-compared

He will never come out of retirement to do another fight again that is for certain.
But he does coach a fighter by the name of Islam Makhachev and is waiting for him to get a title shot:
https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/33940141/khabib-nurmagomedov-waiting-hear-back-dana-white-islam-makhachev-title-shot

Very interesting development there while he is running his own MMA league named Eagle FC.

Thanks for the explanation rdbase,,, somehow saw the response late. Yes, I guess I am learning now there is no UFC seasono since it is just about fights and opportunities. But it still does not seem like a predictable way to see who a title holder can be and who can challenge. It seems this way a person can hold a title for longer than expected time. Does their rating 'expire' if they did not fight for a while?

Can't quite remember how the favourites went, but I do recall Volkov and Evloev being among the heavier favourites (which I also picked) so I know I got those 2 guys pat down.

Quite a number of submissions from what I see, seems slightly out of the norm, usually it's straight out KOs and decisions yeah?

Everyone happy with how it went?

I began watching halfway through the prelims and then started watching the first few fights on the main card.
As soon as my first fight on my acca lost I tuned out until the main event bout between Volkov and Roz.
It was a quick one and it got stopped early.

The only big upset was Lucas Almeida beating Michael Trizano. This was the one I had and once that was done I kind of just went back and forth watching other bets that were on at the same time.
And for the ladies Karolina Kowalkiewicz beating Felice Herrig was kind of an upset since she had been away from fighting for quite a while and had lost her past matches four straight from what I remember the announcer saying about Karolina.
Menifield & Osborne were the good ones to watch a replay of cause they just destroyed their opponents.

Overall a pretty good night of fights.

UFC returns after a break last weekend which happens for American holidays as it was memorial day.
So who is ready for some fight night action once again?
You can place your selections here for UFC Vegas 56:

@leea-1334
To your questions from earlier:
There isn't a set amount of fights in a year so you don't necessarily have a 'season' in the UFC. That would not work out anyways. They have fights every weekend (expect for national holidays for America) so this format has worked for them.
Because as you fights can be cancelled at a moments notice. So it is not very stable when it comes to filling the fight card. But they have seemed to have enough fighters on-call if they do have alot of their current cards cancelling for whatever unforseen reason.
The site you have mentioned is a good one to get information from.
I tend to keep up to date on the current fights coming up from youtubers who choose their fight predictions days before the fights incase there are those cancellations as mentioned above.

We have the UFC Vegas 56 up this weekend and here is the challenge for you to put in your picks:

UFC coming everyone, what is your picks? All I can do is read news and someone called McGregor called someone else having pigeon brains. Honestly,,, if I did not myself watch the fights I might say from social media and news it really reminds me of the old WWF/WWE. I bet if they had Twitter in those days they would be creating the same kind of chaos online Grin

What is your favorite news site? Bloody Elbow seems to come into my search a lot!

It was a shocking result for a fight which meant alot to Holm as she is probably close to retiring and this might have her fight for one or two more.
Even after nearly a week later and it is still sinking in for some how could she lose in such a lousy decision from the judges like that.

Surprisingly there isn't any UFC this weekend as they next one is in the first week of June and the next one is UFC 275 which isn't until closer to the middle of the next month.

How does a UFC season run or is there not any way to know in advance? Tried looking for it on Google but it is not clear,,, is it really just planned a few months ahead of the game and then fighters are identified along the way?

Sorry if my questions seem stupid but how does a fan plan for the games, or how do you even rank fighters if fights are not fixed number per year? On Google all I can see is schedule fights only until July.

Good decision because Vieira won against Holm and it was a shock to her if you see her body language at the end of the fight.
Holm had around 9 minutes of total control time throughout the fight but still lost.
I believe she even had a knockdown in the middle rounds but Vieira had some solid kicks in most of the rounds.
Congratulations if you got the contender @2.95x prematch odds.

Only for picks not for betting but yes I think even in control and with knockdown in the end brute force which is just not possible at certain ages is not enough,,, and that is for giving it, taking it is even worse at a later age. Well done if you made any good picks

I do see some youtube channel said it was a robbery Cool

For sure still an achievement to make it to Round 5 however!

For a woman, I have no idea how physical abilities work,,, so I would not be too quick to discount this veteran.

So she was only fighting 7 years and made her debut when she was 33? That is an amazing type of story for any sports people Shocked

Agree with you. Women have a different physiology when they age compared to men. They definitely are more flexible so a grappler can outlast their opponent in that aspect.
She did beat Ronda Rousey so don't doubt the old lady can come out with a win in this one.

I still decided to go against old lady in this one in predictions in the end,,, but yes, in my limited understanding of women's sports it seems they are more flexible and more able to take pain in later ages. You can see this in Olympics gymnastics, women stay in the sport for decades as they are still so agile probably more vulnerable to direct hits however!

UFC Vegas 55 is this weekend and another action packed lineup welcoming some familiar fighters to the octagon.
The main event has Holm vs Vieira. At a 10 year age gap, this will test the 40 year old veteran who made her debut back in 2015.

Here is the challenge for your chance to win some prizes:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-vegas-55-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5399245

40 year old men are very clearly disadvantage to a 30 year old male fighter. You know because in sports men reach their peak in late 20s and stay at peak until mid 30s and then injuries are the worst enemy.
