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 Smiley

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.  Grin

^ 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!

Experiment if so wish. Maybe you will have better luck than I did.

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.
You were correct. We made it to the final and were eliminated on penalties for the second time!! Only the main card of the UFC would make my weekend right now if everything goes according to plan. I'm too tired to watch the entire fight!!

Let's see if Igehhh selections manage to hit!
It's being a bad weekend after all.

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.

Let's see if Igehhh selections manage to hit!
