Can you believe we did this without crowds? Is it too soon though? Should it have been 50% capacity, or how about a lower ticket price for a vaccinated spectators? – That would’ve been a great idea IMO. But…Capitalism…Lets go. The Main card was great. Lots of finishes and tons of talking points

Here are the picks I made

Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal

Usman is a very very smart fighter, and Masvidal didnt respect that. Usman set up this KO by going for takedowns early. Masvidal had has hands low, waiting for the shot, and wasn’t quick enough to dodge the overhand right, and it seemed like Usman put his whole body into that punch. That punch kind of cooled off everything Masvidal was riding on. -The man went weirdly political for a while, after not wanting to go that route, and he kinda had to eat his words after he said that Usman doesnt punch hard. These things happen to you when you talk a lot. I want to see Usman vs Thompson next. I have no idea where Masvidal goes after this. getting KOed after getting cocky is a hell of a thing… I got this pick wrong read more

So the UFC rolls on, fans will be back, and we get another PPV card that we really dont need IMO, Its just fulfilling some kind of contractual deal that the UFC has. I think it’s a matter of time before the UFC stops doing this, because Bellator is getting good, and if Bellator stays on this track, I think they’ll make people wonder why they’re buying UFC PPVs at all. I think the PPV maincard fights are good, everything else is either low level/unknown – That’s what the UFC usually does on PPVs, so they can give the big names “more money” and pay the undercard fighters peanuts. OK… these are tough to pick… I’m guessing the UFC put all the Chinese fighters that were supposed to be on the Chinese version of DWCS on this card. read more

I feel like I’ve done these picks before. I guess the UFC is coming fast a furious with the PPV cards. Figgy will be making a quick turnaround and fight Moreno -who is also making a quick turnaround. I like this card, much better than the previous PPV card. The UFC is obviously anticipating some COVID-19 cancellations, maybe this is the reason why this is a 14 fight show

Deiveson FigueiredovsBrandon Moreno

Deus Da Guerra is so mean. Everything about this guy is bad intentions. Brandon Moreno is also very talented, but I just think that Figueiredo hits harder 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

What happened at UFC 236?

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
