So here is what actually happened.

I’m not thrilled about this UFC 248. You know what? It kinda seems like a fight night card. This one to me kinda feels like a UFC XXX money grab, but that’s what they do now. Bellator needs a ranking system so people can keep up with what’s in the mix, and the LFA needs a bigger platform, and it needs to differentiate itself from all of the other smaller promotions. -Those are the two biggest US competitors, with the UFC IMO.

Anyway….

Israel AdesanyavsYoel Romero

OK, so Yoel Romero is NOT a worthy challenger. Of course he’s good, he’s tough, He’s a physical specimen, but he lost his last two fights. Losing gets you a title shot? Jeeze-louise, I mean, at least feed him a lower ranked guy and let him get a win before challenging for the title. I think this fight came around because of Joe Rogan. Rogan has certain UFC perks, and one of them is calling for fights that he wants to see, on his big platform. I think this is what happened here. OK, since I have no power, no say, and I have to accept that this fight is going to happen, here’s how it’s going to go: Adesanya will beat the hell out of Yoel Romero. From Round 2 – onwards, Adesanya will out-strike Romero and batter him and he will make it look easy. Now Romero is super tough, so he might not get finished, but, he will get his ass worked. In the end it will be a comprehensive victory for Adesanya. Why is this going to happen? Mobility, Adesanya has it and Romero does not. Its just a bad matchup for Romero, again, NOT a worthy title challenger read more

Stipe Miocic vs Daniel Cormier

This didnt happen like how I imagined it would happen. I thought that Miocic would keep him on the outside and use his jab, but DC decided to go Robocop on Stipe for 3 rounds and got his ass knocked out. Big up to Stipe for finding that body, and then finding the head. I personally think that the body shot is one of DC’s big weaknesses

Nate Diaz vs Anthony Pettis

Do you think that Nate Diaz would come back if he thought that he couldn’t beat Pettis? Not a chance. I don’t think he’ll fight Usman, or any wrestler for that matter. If he fights Masvidal he’ll get his ass whooped also, but I do think this sets up a McGregor trilogy for him. Pettis as no heart, that’s about it. read more

UFC 241 recap

I’m pretty excited about this card. I think it’s because I feel like I know what’s going to happen. So be sure to empty your bank accounts, and get on a shady gambling site and ruin your lives. 😊 Great fights here too

Daniel CormiervsStipe Miocic

Stipe will try to stay on the outside, and try to wear out Cormier in the clinch. I think this goes all 5 rounds and I think the firefighter will take it.

Nate DiazvsAnthony Pettis

This one is a little hard to predict, since Diaz has been out for so long. Diaz doesn’t fight with his hands down like Wonderboy, so there’s that…and I also think that Pettis doesn’t have the juice anymore. We’ll get to see if Diaz still has the pace and the stamina that he’s known for read more

So I didnt think that UFC 236 would be that good and I got pleasantly surprised. I made some bad calls. But its all good, some of the calls that I made were absolutely sublime.

Dustin Poirier vs. Max Holloway

I thought that Max would be big enough to handle Poirier. I thought he would actually have some power at this weight class. Turns out that it takes a little bit of time to develop that power. He also fought a very dangerous game and he ate a lot of shots in this fight. I know that he wants to stay in this weight class, so he’s stuck in a weird limbo right now. read more

Max HollowayvsDustin Poirier

Holloway has the best footwork in the division. He is going to put the pressure on Poirier and get the TKO victory. I see him taking this in the championship rounds. I expect a lot of “sprawl and brawl” from Holloway

Kelvin Gastelum vs. Israel Adesanya

Stylebender should win this one. It should be a boring affair for the casuals. It will go all five rounds. Adesanya has the reach, Gastelum has the chin.

Eryk Andersvs.Khalil Rountree Jr

Anders has terrible technique, but has a hard head. I see Anders eating a lot of shots, but I don’t see him getting finished. Rountree should win this one easily 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

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

Ok, I’m gland that we’re back to UFC cards looking like UFC cards. UFC 245 looks like how a big fight card supposed to look. Maybe its because its the last UFC XXX card of the year

Kamaru UsmanvsColby Covington

Both of these guys have fantastic high level wrestling, but I’m still blown away by Usman beating Tyron Woodley, the way he did. I’m less impressed with Covington’s win over Robbie Lawler, but it counts for something. I think Usman is incredibly smart, and I think he’s wise to what Covington wants to do. This fight is about who has the better cardio read more
