What happened at UFC 243?

Well Eh. We kinda left this UFC 243 card just finding out more about some young fighters.

Robert Whittaker vs Israel Adesanya

Whittaker was trying to not get picked apart on the outside, so he was trying to rush in. He got caught several times doing that, but he continued, tried his luck and got knocked out. If I’m in the Cannonier camp I’d be trying to fight Whittaker. Adesanya will likely face Borrachinha next. Got this pick right

Al Iaquinta vs Dan Hooker

I forgot about the physical tools that Hooker has in his arsenal. He used those physical tools to keep Iaquinta away, and just out-pointed him read more

I’m trying to think of worst Pay-per-view cards. I care sooo little about most of these fights on this show that I debated whether I should put my picks up or not. Other than both main events, this card is lacking. Like seriously lacking. Many of the other fighters are having their first or second fights in the UFC, or they’re coming off long lay-offs. I have no problem with them putting these fighters on a “Fight night” but I always thought the “UFC XXX” cards were special. Guess not read more

What happened at UFC 236?

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
