The main event Saturday is going to be a banger. I legit don’t know if Blachowicz can get the belt back.

Ankalaev is favored and doesn't lose since forever, a Dagestani. Jan lost to Glover, is 39, won against Rakic only because he blew his knee. I like Jan but not his chances tonight. Will watch though.
I'll pick Ankaleav by stoppage at some point.

Also, with Artem Lobov retired, Paddy Pimblett is the new GOAT.
Well, it's a toss-up between the Fatty and Sugar Sean O'Malley.

So much controversy and blame game in the UFC lately. People saying the UFC is rigging fights, coaches getting banned for gambling etc...
Not sure how all that works though, the judges don't work for the UFC, and if the UFC was fixing fights their motives would be different than that of the gambling world. UFC wants to create stars, Vegas doesn't give a shit about that.
So if fights ARE rigged, who is behind it and what are their motives?

It's not the UFC rigging fights, but I don't trust the Judges. Rather than 3 there should be like 7 Judges.

I really hope Volk gets his hand raised. I’m definitely going for the underdog as well. His reach is crazy. I watched one of his fights at welterweight and he still had the reach advantage. He’s been talking a lot of mess talken about how he’s gonna get right back up and scramble and do it effectively because he is so much shorter but I don’t think it’s gonna help.
Islam is probably going to make him tap.

A point deduction for a fence grab? Anyone else watching this card?

Yes but I missed that; was it Menifield? The one point cost him a draw instead of W apparently.
Ok, Islam and Alex are in the cage.

Awesome it was, plus Yair winning interim belt to fight Volk next. Fun card. Whos' next for Islam? Charles should get rematch if he gets through Dariush. This year is gonna be good, looking forward to heavyweight scenarios, Jones back.

If that's the case then fans can't complain considering most of them are degenerate gamblers.
This is why I do not bet on any sport or play stupid fantasy leagues.

Indeed that was a good fight. Volk is definitely in my top 3, how can you not love that guy? Wish he won but I'm not going to cry robbery.
Islam seemed mentally defeated, maybe he needs coach Khabib to be at his best.
Hope Dariush gets the next shot, Charles is boring IMO.

Alright, who y’all got tomorrow night, Jones or Gane? I can see Gane kicking the holy living hell out of Jon’s chicken legs but I would guess Jones would take him down if he felt the kicks were going to be a problem.
I think Jones by decision.
Who y’all got?

I have Jones with the edge. I'm wondering about Gane's legs faring too. He may fight differently with Jon but his front leg looked available when he was fighting Tai, often seeming forward on them or with wide stance though may move too well. But yeah what counts for Jon will likely be in clinch and on ground. Pumped.
How much time do you give Bo Nickal to finish Pickett? I was thinking inside a couple minutes but he may be careful in the debut.

I don’t know much about Bo to make a prediction honestly. He has a lot of hype behind him and Pickett is in a skid right now, it’s not like his debut is against someone phenomenal.
I’m going to guess with the limited info I have that Bo will be playing safe in the first and submitting Jamie in the second.
