So much weirdness with so many fights falling through. Kamaru Usman beat Gilbert Burns by TKO in the 3rd round of the Main Event at UFC 258 to retain his Welterweight Title.

All the fight cancellations are so exhausting. Fighters do a lot of interviews and press for no reason. They travel for no reason. Its rough

Kamaru Usman vs Gilbert Burns

I predicted this fight well. I stand by my prediction. I just think Usman was a little bit more durable when it was all said and done. Also it didn’t help that Burns laid on his back for a minute after he hurt Usman in the 1st round. But fights between friends are usually weird. read more

So we’re back in the USA, back in Vegas and ready for more fights. The card aint so sexy, but you know, I guess the UFC has a PPV commitment. The model definitely needs to be changed. Maybe after the UFC pays off their debt they’ll change the model, but I can see this kinda thing going on for at least 2 more years.

I just know that some of these fights will be cancelled, and/or switched around…whatever

Kamaru Usman

vs

Gilbert Burns

I absolutely HATE picking fights between training partners. I hate it. The fights are usually weird and the fighters usually dont fight like themselves. Usman and Burns are friends, and have been training together for a long time, and now they get to fight each other. This happens a lot in Thai – Muay Thai fights, and those guys are still able to put on a show, so maybe these guys will put on a show here. I just think the grappling and striking is equal in the contest, and I think that Usman is a little more durable read more

What happened at UFC 251?

Abu Dhabi, UFC 251, the place where all fighters want to fight at some point in their careers. Exotic? Yes. Rich? Yes. This is just a place that every fighter can look back and say, “I fought there”. OK so fight Island? Ehh…. We’ve already been there, we’ve already been to fight Island, its the same Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, but it was just less special then. Anyway, the pandemic is still going on for most of America. A lot of people are still out of jobs, and the country is still moving more slowly than it did before, the fights bring some normalcy. read more

My Picks are so bad. They are horrible this week. I know some people check this site just for the picks. But damn, I feel like I let some of you guys down. I was also requested to expound on some of my reasoning for the outcomes of the fights. I’ll do what I can

Jon Jones def. Dominick Reyes

Controversy. I’ll start by saying this; I was very impressed with Reyes’ cardio. He sort of has a point about that whole “athlete” schtick that he’s pushing. He had enough in the tank at the end to fend off the take down and look decent. I thought he won that fight. I thought Reyes won 1 & 2 and Jones won 4 & 5. Round 3 was tight, and I personally think that Reyes edged it. The fight could’ve also been a draw with a rare 10-10 round for round 3. I really really need to watch the Thiago Santos fight again. Anyway, Jones had to answer the question if he’s still evolving. As of right now, I say “No”. I dont think he’s evolved since the Thiago Santos fight. I didn’t see any new tools in the toolbox, I didn’t see any sublime skill that he’s known for. I also didn’t like his interviews leading up to the fight – They just didn’t seem honest. What do I think Jon Jones should do? He should Go to Thailand and work on a clinch game – seriously. He needs to just keep evolving. Reyes deserves a rematch. read more

Conor McGregor def. Donald Cerrone

This call made me feel like I know nothing. I totally over-estimated Donald Cerrone, he got embarrassed in this fight. Beatdown and finished

Holly Holm def. Raquel Pennington

Got this call right. It played out just like a said too. – Oleinik was able to strike to get on the inside and get the submission. This call was unbroken read more
