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.
Alexa Grasso vs Maycee Barber
We got to see that Barber is not as techincal as she needs to be at this level. Its like she has the heart, but she doesnt have the skill yet. And Grasso seemed improved to me
Kelvin Gastelum vs Ian Heinisch
Ian Heinisch is almost a defensive fighter. If Fighters bring the fight to him, he can defend himself very well, but when it’s his time to dish out offense, he’s a little stagnant and looks for the KO all the time. I’m still not very high on Gastelum, Gastelum just has a steel chin, and average wrestling at 185, that’s about it IMO
Ricky Simon vs Brian Kelleher
Simon just had more. Bad calls by me today
Julian Marquez vs Maki Pitolo
Pitolo kind of gave up on himself there at the end
Anthony Hernandez vs Rodolfo Vieira
Big upset for Hernandez. Vieira compromises himself with the weight-cut, also Vieira’s stand up game isnt so hot. I’d like to see Rodolfo Vieira vs Ian Heinisch next
Belal Muhammad vs Dhiego Lima
Not only did Muhammad get the win, he showed a little toughness in this fight. I like the Li Jingliang call out
Polyana Viana vs Mallory Martin
Martin shouldn’t be in the UFC
Chris Gutierrez vs Andre Ewell
Gutierrez had a great game plan, kick the fighter that moves a lot. It works, so so well. Ewell didn’t want any part of the stand up either
Gabe Green vs Philip Rowe
Philip Rowe shouldn’t be in the UFC
My picks were abysmal
My unbroken pick didn’t fight. 2/10 check the record books. Worst I’ve ever done. I’ve hit a bit of a slump
