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.

The queen of rematch Rose always gets her way I'm putting my money on her as well.

Oliveira always has the best staredowns during these junkets and doesn't ever backdown from them.
And yes, you do see the fear in his eyes. Cause nobody likes to get choked out.

@leea-1334: That is how it is with a majority of those who watch the fights in the UFC.
It is all about the thrill of the fight card. Don't necessarily need to have a bet on each and every fight. I usually bet on the prelims and don't even touch the main card bouts because they were either too hard to decide the winner, just as with this weekend's main event with Oli and Gaet.
But I will put my money on Nama just like igehhh has only because it is fun to put money on the one just before the main event.
And well.. It is Thug Rose!
Always entertaining to watch her cause you don't know how she will finish her opponent. Very crafty girl when she gets in the octagon.

If you liked staredowns then I would suggest waiting for the weigh-ins (the Ceremonial one is better) starting in about 12 hours from now:

Somebody reminded me about this thread,,, I do not really bet on UFC however just play the prediction games and sometimes watch on tv. If you live in Asia and you work late night or are up sometimes the only thing showing if there is no football is UFC or boxing (I cannot tell difference sometimes my mates get so pissed Grin

).

igehh somebody should make a stats page of how many people who won staredowns also won the match. Interesting?? Wink

Countdown is about 2 hours but would say closer to 2 3/4 hours to go.

Placing your bets can be done here for all matches after watching the conference:

Both champions who are defending their titles are the favorites this time.

Oliveira was the underdog in his last fight against Poirier even though he held the championship, same with Namajunas.
So the odds for these UFC main event title bouts seem to be fueled by the hype and not necessarily who will/might win.

The buzz surrounding Gaethjes adds to the scheme. I personally believe it's a 50-50 game, but I must admit that if Gaethjes doesn't get the job done in the first round, I don't see him making it out in the second round, Oliveira is going to choke him up and give him a submission, he's such a dirty fighter, don't take him to the ground, you're never going to make it out, he's a submission specialist. Both fighters are excellent, but Oliveira is in his prime and will almost certainly retain his title. I'm betting on Oliv to win by Sub.

Another source of inspiration for Oliveira is the prospect of joining the ranks of the legends, which he aspires to do.

It was media day yesterday so alot of videos on what the fighters had to say prior to the press conference scheduled for later on today.

Here are introduction videos of the each fighter for those not familiar on who they are and who they fought in their last fight:
ESPN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GCbxhAAz48
BT Sports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D--7xnP-kPg

Found it interesting on getting the American vs the UK media perspectives on who they think might win.

Just love those predictions promos, this time I mixed in my usual picks of heavy-sided underdogs with "narrower" underdogs. For me this time it was an arbitrary 15/10 odds or better to count as a favourite, usually for UFC I'm only picking the fav if they're 12/10 or better. No science behind it...

As a result, favourite Oliveira didn't make my cut as he was just above 15/10, though he seems far more rated in the media.

Fight night at the Apex didn't disappoint last night with all the fights being just bangers.
Jessica Andrade won her main event match with the first standing arm-triangle choke done to submit an opponent in the UFC.
It was a sight to behold and it is rare move since it usual is performed on the ground but she had the strength to do it standing.
Amazing fight even if it was finished in the first round within a few minutes of it starting.

@leea-1334 It depends on how the night goes. More likely to have more than 10 correct selections if the favorites of the nights win. The main card are almost always a toss up. Just like the last fight, the one inwhich everybody though would win had an off night. So he lost.
Those kind of matches are either heads of tails. Just need to be lucky on some I think.

Here is the challenge for the next UFC fight night, so put your picks in to see if you can win a prize:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-fight-night-205-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5395141

Main event is Lemos vs Andrade and should be a batlle.

Think while I was counting their wins yesterday they had close to 13 correct selections.
So they were all sharp picks to be honest no denying that.

Belal has always been fun to watch especially live when he is peak form.
I just hated watching his matches where he had a hard time with takedowns but when he does land them they are treat to see.

The next UFC fight night looks like a good one as the main event is with a high level striker, so you don't want to miss that!

To get 10 and not win anything means either people were really lucky,,, or really good. I did not even come close but still it is interesting to see what people pick and maybe learn something along the way. Takedowns are nice too,,, I admit, but I also really enjoy fights that are more like boxing and less like wrestling!

^ 10 right was not enough in the end actually,,, if you saw the winners, notblox1 had way more! But this is the nature of UFC, you have to be able not just to pick the winners but make it consistently (as odds are always almost hard to get 2x). To me this is how all no-draw games work anyway

Belal match was pretty cool to see, not sure if it was as exciting if watched live.

Yeah you got 10 right.
With going 0/5 for the first early prelim fights I knew I wasn't going to do so well in the challenge, so just watched the prelims and main cards for fun.

Looking towards some Borz UFC action it looks like Khamzat Chimaev vs Colby Covington is going to be a reality:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtWi4MuCm8I
Also I believe I heard Dana mention afterwards in an interview this will happen before the Fall.

But it does seem Covington is a bit scared to face him after watching this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dRp1J60pOw

Also Usman talks about fighting him even before Colby fight happens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFKVMB0Rruc
It seems everybody wants a piece of him from that Burns match.

Haven't been following this at all for some time now, sadly, only enough room in my head for football, a little bit of tennis, and thanks to my kid, F1. Looked at the picks I made for the SB prediction contest though and seems like I smacked an upset on the big match, unanimous decision on Belal according to the report I'm reading.

Missed my second pick but got Fialho on TKO... and I think overall I only picked 4 losers. Not bad, huh?

UFC is on and missed the first fight and it ended very fast as I had Croom. Embarrassed

Nunes (no not that one) is up to fight Hughes and should be another fast fight.
Expect alot of quick knockouts tonight.
Good luck to all who have bets placed on this event

If Khamzat has a hard time hitting Burns and was almost beaten up instead, Khamzat will also have difficulties in fighting the next match unless he learns it quickly. He's lucky that Dana is behind him. He better not starts demanding more fees from Dana because if he does, by UFC276 he could already be matched up to Usman who could end his career.

Some of the UFC fighters who had won their matches last night received bonuses in the form of bitcoin:
https://www.mmamania.com/2022/4/10/23019171/crypto-cash-out-heres-who-won-bitcoin-bonus-money-at-ufc-273

$60,000 worth of bitcoin was awarded via a voted for fan bonus.
Here is the rundown of who received what from yesterday's UFC main card:

Even some paid out in Marshall Inu named after Joe Rogan's dog.
This is all a meme inspired venture but it is still worth some coin that goes towards those who were not on the main card but in the prelims.

So why was Yan getting some bonus when he lose the fight?
Quite surprised by it but it's a decision which I guess having another rematch will be possible again.

Exact same can be asked about Burns getting the highest paid bonus from the secondary bonuses paid out in this cryptocurrency:
https://www.mmamania.com/2022/4/10/23019171/crypto-cash-out-heres-who-won-bitcoin-bonus-money-at-ufc-273

source: https://twitter.com/marshallinu_/status/1513957824161882121

It was up to the fans and for the mashall inu was up to Joe Rogan who founded the coin who ultimately received the highest payment from those bonuses.
Burn did have a great fight and nobody would of thought he would go the complete three rounds against Chimaev.

Next challenge is available to place your selections on who you think will come out on top for UFC ESPN 34 this weekend.
You can put in your picks below:

Going around the MMA youtube videos this past weekend's fight between Khamzat Chimaev vs Gilbert Burns was toted as the greatest fight of the year thus far.
And it did not disappoint just for the fact it went the distance and showed just how both fighters were absolute gladiators when all was said and done and came down to facing off in the octagon.

Here is a very in-depth video of the fight inwhich I viewed several but this one stood out the most due to it being impartial to both fighters:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYCoQOQPs-w

This was released by the same youtuber yesterday but seems they were offended in the way Chimaev viewed the fight in thinking he would take the KO in the first round just as many including myself would of seen the fight heading:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLRQfCoP_o8

The post fight meeting between the two also explained to everyone might be why the reason this didn't happen
With Khamzat seeing Gilbert's children saying he didn't want to be a killer of anybodies kids dad.

This is an interesting point that no other youtube video/channel divulged in the reasoning why this fight went the full three rounds and no smeshing occurred.

^^
Alot of fans of the UFC thought Petr Yan won the fight.
The bonuses given based on this voting system was afterall by the fans and not how the results of the fights were judged by the organization.
Yan did say after during the post fight interview that he wanted a rematch as it was poorly judged for one of the rounds. Which I don't blame him.
But this can be said for every fighter who lost at the end of their matches.
