What happened at UFC 259?
UFG 259 was huge. It was almost like a big football event. Plenty of fights, plenty of talking points. It was just a monster for fight fans. If you are a fight fan, it was one of the “must see events”
No fights really fell through… The MMA Gods said “Go ahead and have some fun” … I think the vaccine is working, as I write this, 10% of the US population is vaccinated, and the CDC says that vaccinated people can gather in-doors without a mask… That’s a win
UFC 259 Picks
This. This is a fantastic card. This is what I want to see. Every fight on the main card means something, and most of the fights on the prelims mean something. Love it. Love it. Love it. Maybe the UFC can save the PPVs for moments like these and stop having throw away PPV cards.

I’m optimistic though…We have vaccines, they say its something like 95% efficient. I’m no scientist, but that sounds like a good thing.

Henry Cejudo vs. Marlon Moraes
I got this fight right. Cejudo did weather that storm and I knew that he had to put some pressure on Moraes. I just thought that it would go longer. It looks like Moraes wilts under pressure-phonebooth fighting. It was right-hooks and knees from Cejudo, as he got the win. AND I love Cejudo’s little gimmicks, the dude was called boring, but now the man is fun and smooth, and a fantastic fighter. He called out some OLD folks in his post fight speech though. He should’ve called out Ricky Simon and Cory Sandhagen, if he wanted to be legit.
