This was such a big weekend for COMBAT IN TEXAS. very busy, super busy. There was XKO 50, There was Fury Fc 46, and there was UFC 262. So much excitement all at one time. Its kinda bad timing TBH. Jeeze… Let people digest one show at a time…They threw everything at us in one weekend.

Anyway, at UFC 262 Charles Oliveira knocked out Michael Chandler in the 2nd round of the main event to win the vacant UFC Lightweight title

My picks are here

Charles Oliveira vs Michael Chandler

I thought I was right on track with my prediction, until the second round. Its like Chandler got a little cocky and thought that Oliveira was more rocked than he was. Wild ending to a wild fight. I got this wrong. I’d actually like to see Oliveira vs Dariush. I think Dariush deserves it. I’m also not against seeing Oliveira vs Gaethje read more

I feel like off the bat, I need to apologize, these are –bar none, the worst picks I’ve ever done, as some of you may know, I usually pick, all the UFC cards, the full show, I post the Fight Night picks on Twitter. And this….this… This is the worst for me. Deiveson Figueiredo fought Brandon Moreno to a majority draw at UFC 256, thus Figueiredo retains his UFC flyweight title. UFC 256 was a Fantastic Event

Deveison Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno

I scored this fight for Figueiredo, I scored it exactly like Derek Clearly. I’m not too upset with the decision though, because it was close. What I am upset with is that Figgy lost a point after one low-blow. ONE, one. Is Herzog going to take a point for every low blow now? Anyway, I dont care to see a rematch right away, I actually would like to see Brandon Moreno vs Cody Garbrandt, and the winner of that could face Figgy. Figgy? I wouldn’t mind seeing him against Petr Yan, in all honesty read more

OK, so the all TV MMA game rolls on. Stipe Miocic took on Daniel Cormier in “The Trilogy” for the UFC heavyweight title, and Stipe was able to come away with the unanimous victory of five rounds. It was a pretty entertaining show. A few heats were broken, but we roll on

Stipe Miocic vs Daniel Cormier

The body shot was still there, the head kick was still there. DC is always trying to convice people that he ‘s fixed things, when its all the same, hes old. Miocic put in a workman like performance to get this victory. IMO Cormier would not have been the greatest Heavyweight in the UFC had he won. Randy Couture is way ahead of him, Stipe is in that argument now, because he tied Randy Couture for the most title fight wins in UFC history. So the fight that I think makes the most sense is Miocic vs Lewis. Stipe already has a win over Ngannou, and Lewis has a win over Ngannou. I like fresh fights in MMA, there are way too many good fighters to be having so many of theses 2s & 3s read more

The Trilogy! Its happening, and Daniel Cormier is waaaaay past his retirement date. I guess that retirement date wasn’t really a hard number after all. I predicted that this fight would not happen, BECAUSE of Cormier’s retirement, but here we are… And let me tell you this… I dont even believe Cormier will retire after THIS fight. I think the UFC will have to push him out. It makes no sense for Stipe to fight a guy that will want to call it quits after the fight. Hopefully, the UFC are paying this Firefighter. This fight is essentially a grudge match and not a title fight anymore, with retirement looming over the whole thing read more
