UFC 264 Picks

I’m not excited. Is the casual fan excited? I dont know, who really cares. Its more MMA. I think its safe to say that we’re coming out of the Pandemic now, most people are back to work, things are weird, and people are back to watching live fights.

Dustin PoiriervsConor McGregor

OK. Do we need this? ehh… whatever, its a fight… I’m not excited, but you know what…maybe if you never ever watch MMA, maybe this will excite you. Anyway, I think McGregor is the more technical striker, and I’m not very high on Poirier, but, I must admit, Poirier has a very good record, and one thing…one thing about The diamond. He is an absolute DOG. His skills are lackluster, a lot of guys will out technique him, but he has heart for days. Thats been the talking point leading up to this fight, and… its the truth. I see McGregor playing it safe and technical and getting the win here

Gilbert BurnsvsStephen Thompson

Stephen Thompson is the biggest puzzle in the UFC. I just hope his body doesnt break down before he gets another title shot, because I think he deserves one. I just see Thompson playing his game and racking up points and getting the win, And…shhh…but Thompson has a really good chin and good takedown defense

Tai TuivasavsGreg Hardy

At one time I thought Greg Hardy was going down the path of a Martial Artist. Naa… I was wrong. Hardy is stagnant and one dimensional and I expect him to be gassed by the second round. I do expect him to make the second round though

Irene AldanavsYana Kunitskaya

Aldana doesnt have good footwork, and Kunitskaya has good footwork. Also I think Yana has the advantage on the ground

Sean O’MalleyvsKris Moutinho

O’Malley by 1st round KO

Max GriffinvsCarlos Condit

Griffin is in a purple patch right now, but I think Condit has enough juice in the tank to get it done

Niko PricevsMichel Pereira

I got Pereira. Wild fight though

Dricus Du PlessisvsTrevin Giles

I’m not fond of Du Plessis. I’ll begrudging pick Giles

Ryan HallvsIlia Topuria

Topuria has good hands, and very strong wrestling. I got Topuria

Jennifer MaiavsJessica Eye

Maia could come in fat, or she come come in, in shape and ready to fight. I’m hoping she’ll be in shape…heck, even if she came if fat, she might be able to beat Eye

Omari AkhmedovvsBrad Tavares

I got Akhmedov

Zhalgas ZhumagulovvsJerome Rivera

I got Zhumagulov

Alen AmedovskivsYaozong Hu

I got Amedovski

Sean O’Malley pick will be unbroken
