I had a feeling fight will end early, but this was bad luck for Rakic in main event after his knee broke down, he said later this was repeated injury from training camp he had few weeks ago.
I think that Rakic was better until his injury and he would probably win the fight, but instead he is going to have longer recovery and maybe surgery.
Błachowicz was lucky this time and his next fight will be against new champion Glover Teixeira or Jiri Prochazka.
Both his legs were shot. Jan was busting up his left thigh that it didn't look normal after the takedown in the second.I think that Rakic was better until his injury and he would probably win the fight, but instead he is going to have longer recovery and maybe surgery.
Błachowicz was lucky this time and his next fight will be against new champion Glover Teixeira or Jiri Prochazka.
The knee on the other leg just gave out when he stepped back.
Great win as it was given as a TKO.
Because Blachowicz kept working on those legs with calf and thigh kicks as you know he likes to do.
Glover called him out before the fight saying he will fight him and give him another title shot if he wins.
So I guess he is ready to go and take his title back from Teixeira only if he does win against Prochazka.

@Igehhh
Looking at your selections for this UFC you are doing better than me.
I was out by the first fight because who saw Maximov losing @1.26x odds and all in the first minute of the first round.
In UFC, the ones with the shortest odds always screw me over. I'm done with multi-selection; perhaps the next time I should go with some high old underdogs as a single bet. I had high hopes for Maximov, but he ruined my day before it even began.Looking at your selections for this UFC you are doing better than me.

Didn't stay up since Liverpool won, sending me quietly and peacefully to bed AFTER staying up with my kid for about another 2 hours to see the Eurovision final (Ukraine won, shocker).
~snip~
It's being a difficult season for me but that's story for another day!! My team gives me sleepless nights these days. ~snip~
Yeah, never bet on the first match of the Vegas prelims. The lower odds seem to sucker most in thinking it a off one and done match for the icebreaker. But it never ends up like this.
Atleast this has happened whenever I bet on the first match.
Then it's better to always for the underdog since the first fight are always a shocker!! Lol. Atleast this has happened whenever I bet on the first match.
May 15, 2022, 07:10:37 AM
^ So never bet on one of the biggest matches of the rounds then? I thought the opener was always a big deal... but this is why I still see UFC as a conflip whenever the guys don't have a bigger than 6/1 underdog.
Didn't stay up since Liverpool won, sending me quietly and peacefully to bed AFTER staying up with my kid for about another 2 hours to see the Eurovision final (Ukraine won, shocker).
Lost my bets actually, rdbase, since I went for ML and goals and handicaps hahaha so my current out-of-pocket phase extends to Champions League final. Just small change here and there, and tapped out my final spare change today... but I spare a thought for you igehhh...
Back to topic (everything's related somehow in the end!), I ended up getting 6/11. Pretty sure plenty of 9s and 10s from the others!

Forgot my first rule in betting on UFC:
Never bet on the first fight
Just see how the first couple of fights go and those should tell you how the rest of the night will go.
This methodology has worked for me with my bets in the past.

Just watching this match at the moment and it is a boring on. No goals.Hope you didn't put a winner in regular time or on goals, because I don't see this one being settled until penalties as those normally decide a winner for these finals.
Let's see if Igehhh selections manage to hit!
It's being a bad weekend after all. May 14, 2022, 12:26:44 PM
I might actually tune in this weekend actually. Only got the one football game to watch (FA Cup final) and if I lose that bet, then I'm going to probably not sleep well. And the following day I have a huge 4 hours to myself, would feel like a long break from domestic duties.
Of course, if I can manage to stay up to 4am that would be a minor miracle these days.
Don't forget the predictions posted above.

Anyways, back to the UFC at hand.
In about six hours we will have UFC in vegas so here are the matches and odds:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/matches/today
I see Blachowicz is the underdog for the main event @2.65x
I will take him to win it early either by KO or submission.

I don't see how 1/2 a pound can make the different since they are not heavyweights.
The weight difference was very marginal but many have defended it because of crossing the line when it comes to what is deemed okay and what is not.
Why the UFC are still using scales from the past are beyond me and should be digital as with everything else in life when accuracy is the decision maker.

Fights proceed even if they miss weight. Title fights like this one there isn't any leeway for them to be a 1/2 pound off but for non-title fights they are.
They are allowed to fight but have part of their purse demonetized as a fine for doing so.
He entered into the ring as still the championship holder but as soon as the fight started the title was vacant.
It is strange how the do this, but it is hot they do it.
Chandler's knock out performance was the highlight of the night for many who was in attendance.
That was career ending for Tony for sure and do not think we will see him fight again being his fourth straight loss in a row.
McGregor coming back to fight with that call out would be hilarious.

Okay I get it now that kind of makes sense in a way,,, I guess in boxing (not MMA) it is a bit more strict right since I always remember fights getting called off just because they could not make the weigh in. I think a penalty system is much more important since they will lose actual money if not making weight.
But one thing,,, the opponent is disadvantaged if the weight is not lesser than expected. Should the opponent also be rewarded for getting like a handicap?

@igehhh staredown betting, we should open such markets 
Wow nice call rdbase on Charles getting a very quick win, all done in 1 round. I do not understand though you said earlier he did not make the weight,,, so why did the match proceed?
Anyway after match now he and Chandler calling for McGregor. Of course it is all staged but the fans love it all the more

Right, so early Olieviera win, pretty big upset on Rose (the odds were 1.2 IIFC), spectacular KO for my pick Ferguson, in general, not a great weekend for my picks.
Hope not on a wayward path here (and I'm really unsure as I see MMA tags and boxing tags, even UFC tags in some of the news reports am seeing, maybe someone can share a link that explains all the differences and paths because I actually can't locate one) but whoever chose Bivol in the prediction special should be pretty pleased -- whomever chose an all out Bivol should be even happier (most punches).
I did choose him, but went for a more balanced selection and apparently, reports I'm reading are also surprised it went to unanimous when all judges went for Alvarez in the first 4 rounds.

Unbelievable scene I predicted Charles would submit in the second round, but it came earlier than expected because Justin was too easy for him lol. I was expecting a good fight, not what I just witnessed; how did Charles calculate every Justin kick? Man Charles is simply an unbeatable fighter who can choke you out at any time. It was a great night, but I went home empty-handed. My mistake was adding Rose to my Acca; she was too boring to watch, and she arrived unprepared, giving me one of the most boring fights. I had high hopes for her.
So they left Tony in the cage after that super KO kick, and he slept the entire time; he was having a good night before that.
Edit
@igehhh staredown betting, we should open such markets

Some unbelievable mistake by Charles happened during the weigh-ins:
Oliveira missed weight so the championship title is vacant.

Just as Igehhh has mentioned it is a coin flip on who could win for the main event.
I don't disagree with him there.
Charles when backed in a corner can be like a snake and before you know it has you wrapped in a submission hold.
UFC 274: Pre-Fight Press Conference is happening very soon and there are many who are in the live comment section voicing their favorites to win:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Sl36zdb9co
Lol Charles won the staredown; did you notice Justin's fear and nervousness? Charles is probably going to put him to sleep because he looked lost even before the game began, and I just watched someone who won't last more than two rounds.I don't disagree with him there.

The queen of rematch Rose always gets her way I'm putting my money on her as well.
And yes, you do see the fear in his eyes. Cause nobody likes to get choked out.
igehh somebody should make a stats page of how many people who won staredowns also won the match. Interesting??
Being so confident gives you an advantage because it instills fear in your opponent, making them feel lost even before the fight begins. I can't provide such statistics because I only watch main events and am not a regular UFC fan. Jump to:
