The UFC PPV is back. Pretty big HW bout on this card. And Like I said in previous posts, I wish the UFC can have a co-promotion with Bellator for a UFC/Bellator 26X card. That would be great. I know that Bellator will be in the 260s soon. I’m just an MMA fan thinking of stuff
| Stipe Miocic | vs | Francis N’Gannou |
OK, so the rematch. Was it a fluke that Stipe beat Ngannou before? You cant call a 5 round win a Fluke though. I called Stipe at UFC 252 against Cormier, and I’ll call him again, why? The same reason I gave before; Stipe does well with adversity. I personally think that you have to, out technique Stipe to beat him, and I kinda view the DC loss as an anomaly TBH. Ngannou is the epidemy of having a puncher’s chance, but I just think Stipe is way too educated to fall for a one dimensional approach to a fight. I got Stipe by 5 round decision
| Tyron Woodley | vs | Vicente Luque |
Vicente Luque is one of my favorite fighters on the UFC roster. Period. I’m glad that most MMA fans have stopped calling him “Vincent Luque” now. They’ve put some respect on his name. I like the fact that Luque did his training in Brazil for this fight. I feel like Luque all Luque has to do, is follow the blueprint that was written by Colby Covington and Kamaru Usman, to beat Woodley, and I actually think Woodley could get KOed in this contest
| Thomas Almeida | vs | Sean O’Malley |
I think this is a favorable matchup for O’Malley, I think that O’Malley has the style to finish Almeida. I think that Almeida is slower and stiffer than O’Malley. O’Malley by 2nd round KO
| Gillian Robertson | vs | Miranda Maverick |
I’m on the Maverick hype train, I think Maverick is the better striker, and I also think Maverick is the better grappler. I think Miranda beats Gillian everywhere. Unless Robertson runs for 3 rounds, I can see Miranda Maverick finishing Robertson within 2 rounds
| Jamie Mullarkey | vs | Khama Worthy |
I think Mullarkey faced a very technical striker before this fight, and I dont think Khama Worthy is very technical. I see Mullarkey getting the win here
| Alonzo Menifield | vs | Fabio Cherant |
I think this is a must win fight for Menifield, I actually think this matchup puts more pressure on Menifield. Cherant is brand new, and I dont think Cherant has faced good competition. Menifield is facing a relatively inexperienced fighter in this contest. I think he gets it done
| Jared Gooden | vs | Abubakar Nurmagomedov |
Abubakar will most-likely have Khabib in his corner for this fight, and I still dont think that Jared Gooden deserves to be in the UFC. I just think that Abubakar just has to try not to slip on a banana peel here
| Modestas Bukauskas | vs | Michal Oleksiejczuk |
I was an Oleksiejczuk fan before he popped for Clomiphene. The man looked good, Now I’m not sure if he looked good, or the steroids looked good, and I haven’t heard any explanation about the PEDs. He went on to lose fights via two very good tight submissions. I’m not high on Bukauskas, I just dont think he has the sauce. I think Oleksiejczuk gets this one done
| Shane Young | vs | Omar Morales |
Morales lost to a superior striker in Chikadze. Young lost to Klein. I think Morales is the one that gets back on track here
| Abu Azaitar | vs | Marc-Andre Barriault |
The Moroccan King might be disappointed in a loss. I think Azaitar gets it done
Miranda Maverick will be unbroken
