Its past… And this is what happened at UFC 257
The UFC back, back in Abu Dhabi for UFC 257 McGregor vs Poirier 2. Of course Dana White is playing weird games with the 155 title. I’ve said this on twitter. – If Conor McGregor and/or Michael Chandler wins, the title is gonna be up for grabs, If both McGregor and Chandler lose, then we’re gonna have to wait for the Justin Gaethje vs Charles Oliveira fight. I guess when youre the president, you get to play these games.
| Dustin Poirier | vs | Conor McGregor |
Ok, So McGregor won the first fight, but it was in 2014 and it was at 145, And I personally think that both these guys were dehydrating themselves at 145. so… I think that Poirier will be a little harder to knock out this time. McGregor is coming off that big fight where he embarrassed Cowboy Cerrone, so I know his confidence will be high. I got McGregor here by decision
| Dan Hooker | vs | Michael Chandler |
So Chandler is new to the UFC and is taking on Dan “The hangman” Hooker. I see Chandler taking this one. I just think he’s a little more explosive
| Jessica Eye | vs | Joanne Calderwood |
These are two sputtering flyweights. They both are desperate for a win to get back on track. I think Calderwood is more talented, she just has to avoid the gamesmanship of Eye and fight her fight
| Ottman Azaitar | vs | Matt Frevola |
Ottman Azaitar is accurate and powerful and I’ve never seen anyone make him wrestle. I dont think Frevola is going to make him wrestle. Azaitar by 1st round KO. This pick is unbroken
| Marina Rodriguez | vs | Amanda Ribas |
Ribas is the darling of 115, Marina Rodriguez is the dark-horse of 115. Its the classic striker vs grappler matchup. Rodriguez is sick with the Muay Thai, and Ribas is slick on the ground
| Arman Tsarukyan | vs | Nasrat Haqparast |
I love this fight. These 2 are so talented that I kind of wish they weren’t fighting each other. I’m actually still stunned that Haqparast got KOed by Drew Dober, because Nasrat has a very solid chin. Anyway, I see Tsarukyan grinding out a unanimous decision here
| Brand Tavares | vs | Antonio Carlos Junior |
Tavares has lost a couple and has been inactive for a while and got kicked out of the top 15 at Middleweight, the same thing has happened to Antonio Carlos Junior. So, I guess you match them up against each other. I see Shoeface submitting Tavares in the 2nd round
| Sara McMann | vs | Julianna Pena |
So I haven’t seen McMann in a year and Pena just lost to GDR, I think McMann takes this
| Khalil Rountree | vs | Marcin Prachnio |
Poor Marcin Prachnio, he has fought three times in the UFC, and got finished three times in the UFC. We’ll see how Muay Thai Rountree gets in this fight
| Andrew Sanchez | vs | Makhmud Muradov |
I like Muradov here
| Nick Lentz | vs | Movsar Evloev |
Nick Lentz will get finished
| Amair Albazi | vs | Zhalgas Zhumagulov |
I actually like Albazi here. Zhumagulov is tough, tough, tough tough,, but Albazi has a lot of finesse
