UFC 241 Picks

August 11, 2019September 7, 2019Richard

I’m pretty excited about this card. I think it’s because I feel like I know what’s going to happen. So be sure to empty your bank accounts, and get on a shady gambling site and ruin your lives. 😊 Great fights here too

Daniel Cormier

Stipe Miocic

Stipe will try to stay on the outside, and try to wear out Cormier in the clinch. I think this goes all 5 rounds and I think the firefighter will take it.

Nate Diaz

Anthony Pettis

This one is a little hard to predict, since Diaz has been out for so long. Diaz doesn’t fight with his hands down like Wonderboy, so there’s that…and I also think that Pettis doesn’t have the juice anymore. We’ll get to see if Diaz still has the pace and the stamina that he’s known for read more

UFC 240 Picks

July 20, 2019July 27, 2019Richard

Max Holloway

Frankie Edgar

I think Max Holloway will take this one. I just don’t think that Edgar has got the juice that he once had. Volkanovski beats them both though. Get Volkanovski in the title picture, and then we’ll see Max lose and move up a weight class.

Cris Cyborg

Felicia Spencer

I hope Spencer got paid for this one, because she’s not going to be able to take down Cyborg like she took down Megan Anderson. I think that Cyborg gets the finish in the 2nd round.

Geoff Neal

Niko Price

Niko Price is a fascinating character. If you’re not a real MMA fighter, I don’t think you beat him. He tries to exploit his opponents’ weaknesses. Geoff Neal has great striking, if you play that stand up game with him, he’s gonna make you pay, I see Price taking this to the ground and checking out Neal’s ground game. I think it will be a very competitive fight, but I think Price will pick up the win by sub. read more

UFC 239 Picks

June 29, 2019July 14, 2019Richard

Jon Jones

Thiago Santos

This is the biggest test for Jon Jones ever. I think Thiago Santos is a very worthy opponent. I do not think he’s only a “hard hitter”. He is crafty on the ground, very technical, and very durable. I think he had a fluke loss against David Branch. Jon Jones is the best Mixed Martial Artist ever, and I think that he’ll get the victory here. I think that he has to withstand some storms though. This fight is not going to be like the Anthony Smith fight.

Amanda Nunes

Holly Holm

This is a tough fight to call. Holly Holm is a very worthy opponent, and I think she’s going to get it done here. I think she is going to go for technical-point fighting to get the win. read more

What happened at UFC 238?

Here are my picks

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. read more

UFC 237 Picks

What happened at UFC 237?

Rose Namajunas

Jessica Andrade

Namajunas has fantastic coaching. I think the coaching contingent at her camp has some of the best coaching for females in MMA (periodt), so I think she’ll be prepared. I have a feeling that Rose will want to play a little Jiu Jitsu with Andrade at some point. Jedrzejczyk wrote the book on how to beat Andrade, I think Rose will follow it

Jared Cannonier

Anderson Silva

Cannonier looks good at 185 and I think he’ll continue to look good. Anderson Silva can be a tricky fight for anyone, but you have to not let the spider get into your head. I see this one going the distance and Cannonier taking it. – His great coaching will get him through read more

What happened at UFC 236?

April 14, 2019April 21, 2019Richard

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
