Contender Series 2021 Week 4

Richard

Worse week of this season IMHO

I think I understand what’s going on with the Contender Series this year. If you have a name and you’re supposed to be in the UFC already… All you have to do is win your fight, and you’re in. …If you dont have a name, and your call-up is premature, then you’ll have to win impressively
Guys that got contracts on this show were: AJ Dobson, Michael Morales, Kleydson Rodrigues, and Victor Martinez

Here are grades of the talent on the show. These grades are only based on their Contender Series performance, and not their performance before, in other organizations read more

Obligatory UFC event. Kinda like a TUF manufactured event. I never watch TUF. Dont know anything about it. I dont need to personally get to know a fighter to like how they fight, or want to see them fight. Volk takes on Ortega.

Alexander VolkanovskivsBrian Ortega

Ok, So its been a while since Volkanovski defended his belt. But here we are. I think that Volkanovski knows that Max Holloway beat him in their last fight, and he’ll be better. I just think Volk is more technical, and I think if it goes to the ground, Volk has good enough wrestling to get out of it read more

I’ve been away for a little bit. Pandemic stuff, btw we’re still in the Pandemic, I posted a little while back that we were getting out of it. The Delta variant dragged us back in for a little bit.

I think this was a solid opening card for week one of DWCS. The 1st loser picked up a contract, and I thought all the fights were fun

Guys that got contracts on this show were: AJ Fletcher, Victor Altamirano, Carlos Candelario, Joanderson Brito, Azamat Murzakanov. – That’s 5 contracts and 4 fights read more

Ok So I got a bunch of picks wrong

Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor

Hey I got this wrong, but the injury was so weird. I dont know if you can count the weird way that this fight ended against me. I really believe that the broken ankle was caused by a kick, because I dont think people just roll their ankles and break them

Gilbert Burns vs Stephen Thompson

Got this wrong. Burns was prepared. He was prepared to wrestle hard, and he got his takedowns at the right time

Tai Tuivasa vs Greg Hardy

I expected Hardy to last the 2nd round, and he did not. Hardy’s mobility is awful. He’s a worst fighter than when he started read more

I’m not excited. Is the casual fan excited? I dont know, who really cares. Its more MMA. I think its safe to say that we’re coming out of the Pandemic now, most people are back to work, things are weird, and people are back to watching live fights.

Dustin PoiriervsConor McGregor

OK. Do we need this? ehh… whatever, its a fight… I’m not excited, but you know what…maybe if you never ever watch MMA, maybe this will excite you. Anyway, I think McGregor is the more technical striker, and I’m not very high on Poirier, but, I must admit, Poirier has a very good record, and one thing…one thing about The diamond. He is an absolute DOG. His skills are lackluster, a lot of guys will out technique him, but he has heart for days. Thats been the talking point leading up to this fight, and… its the truth. I see McGregor playing it safe and technical and getting the win here read more

Yes. I know I’m late.

Israel Adesanya vs Marvin Vettori

I got this one very wrong. Vettori had the chin, but he didnt have the wrestling nor the Jiu Jitsu technique to get the job done. He had good moments, but his ground game wasnt good enough to capitalize on those good moments. I just thought that he’d be a little better

Brandon Moreno vs Deiveson Figueiredo

Great fight while it lasted. Moreno is good. Do you know who game Moreno some trouble? Brandon Royval – before his shoulder popped out during the fight. Maybe the Colorado man can work his way back up read more

We’re in Oklahoma for a little LFA. The UFC has been really riding with the LFA recently, they’ve been promoting it, and they’ve been sending fighters over there to do commentary, and they’ve been really close to the organization. It is kind of unheard of for the LFA to keep a champion around for a long time

Terrence McKinney vs Michael Irizarry – 160 lbs

Round 1

McKinney comes out throwing highkicks that make him do backflips. McKinney throws some hands, Irizarry tries to wrestle, McKinney wrestles him off, Irizarry gets wrestled down, and McKinney postures up in his guard and rains down right hands. McKinney knocks Irizarry out cold.🚩 McKinney wins by KO read more

More UFC, More PPV, More rematches.

Israel AdesanyavsMarvin Vettori

Where do I start? Ok… So who won the 1st fight? I personally think that Adesanya won. But hey… It was close. I think this fight is very very interesting, because Adesanya just lost to Jan Blachowicz, and the style that Jan used, was that suffocating wrestling style, and Vettori just beat Kevin Holland and Vettori used a suffocating wrestling style. It’ll give people something to ponder; Did Adesanya improve? Was Kevin Holland a good style matchup for Vettori before the Adesanya fight? I think all that is moot. I think this fight is going to depend on how solid Vettori’s chin is. I think Adesanya is bigger than Kevin Holland, and has better takedown defense than Holland, but I just think that Vettori will be able to eat some shots and put hands on Adesanya. And new read more
