Most looking forward to seeing if Arlovski is going to continue to be impressive and make another comeback, I hope he will.

Seems unlikely IMO - his chin is objectively shot, he's getting slow and has a bad gas tank even by HW standards, and he's fighting a guy who's 14 years younger than him, 20-odd pounds heavier, and has won every MMA fight he's ever had by KO. Yes most of those were against scrubs on the Australian scene, but still, I don't really see a path to victory for Arlovski here.

Good day!
I think that the analysis of the fight Guida Oliveira missed the point that Oliveira comes on short notice. I think Evans will fly to KO, Smith is what hurts. Bleydes likely crush Overeem. Rafa has a very good chance to beat Covington in a rack, in a fight with Lawler showed a good cardio for 5 rounds on 1hbet it now gives 2.025. Well, put on Arlovski against Tuivasy who loves and knows how to be chopped, it seems to me a bad idea.
Yours faithfully!

I’m looking forward to UFC 225, I’ve been on vacation for 2 weeks and get home just time so I’ll be able to watch the fights.

And I thought he did great! although I did miss most of the 3rd round. Seemed like 'another' bad decision to me Fu@k!! (yah... & I put $$'s on him too)

 

[Nintendo]

you know punk is bad when he loses to the guy they bring in that is supposed to lose

 

[Poker Orifice]

Megan Anderson's hips are level with Holly's chest. OMG!! She's like the Stefan Struve of women's MMA. Probably a 20lb. weight difference here (Oh.. now they just said that lol)

 

[Poker Orifice]

Holly just in a whole different league. Good for her! (& thanks because I bet on your, lol).

Really wanted RDA to win tonight. Well... who didn't? lol. Undeniable though that Covington is the real deal. How do you think he does vs. Woodley?

 

[Poker Orifice]

How did Romero not finish him in the 3rd?!?!?!??!

Do you think he'd ever have cardio if he moved up a divsion? He was soooo tired after rocking Whittaker in the 3rd, he chose to rest instead of finishing him off while he was rocked.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Again.. not enough gas to finish him.

Yah I bet on him tonight, lol... only because I 'had a feeling' he was gonna clip him, similiarly to the Luke fight. Too bad it wasn't earlier on.

 

[Poker Orifice]

OMG and he doesn't make him stand up when again he has him ROCKED (Whittaker probably couldnt even stand up at that point.. sigh).. but nope.. he takes a rest Unreal

Most amazing physical genetics but fight mental IQ... not at all. he's a zero. FFS LOL tries a spinning back fall on your arse kick in last 15secs.

How many more chances does this guy have to win a fight and not take it??? Unbelievable.

 

[Poker Orifice]

The fighter's head was become completely detached from their body prior to a 10-8 scoring being awarded to a round. OMG!

Please don't misinterpret where my heart is with these two fighters. I like Whittaker over Romero all day long but tonight I just had a feeling to bet on Romero. I think I was right

 

[celoshida]

Undeniable though that Covington is the real deal. How do you think he does vs. Woodley?

Colby is a good wrestler with shitty stand up game.

woodley is a more well rounded fighter. He can KO Colby.

everything Colby does Woodley does better.

 

[crazymakak]

Fight heavyweight Alexey Oleinik - Fabricio Werdum could be the main event at UFC in Moscow. This was announced by Chief UFC-insider Ariel Helvani.

«UFC is seriously considering the opportunity to fight against Werdum Oleynik mainly on the debut Russian tournament. But the final decision is still pending, "- wrote Helvani.

UFC tournament in Moscow will take place on September 15 in the sports complex "Olympic". The only Russian Champion promotion Habib Nurmagomedov definitely not take part in the Russian event.

 

[PapesOnlyy]

Colby Covington is the best fighter... he has all the tools to beat everyone which is exactly what he has done.... you might not like him because of what he says but he is "making the UFC great again" and entertaining again

 

[509fio]

Dont get me wrong I like Colby but his best tool is pressure, pressure delivered by his takedown game. He' not taking down Tyron and he's not controlling him in the clinch and he's not outstriking him so where exactly is he winning? Don't bring up Jake Shields.

 

[OzExorcist]

Ugh, of course Dana gave a contract to the piece of human garbage so toxic even the Dallas Cowboys didn't want anything to do with him...

I'm not sure I understand, why do you say he's "not outstriking him"? Based on his past few outings, Woodley will give up rounds through inactivity to just about anyone willing to come forward and throw even a couple of shots. I can't f&*king stand Covington, but if he's willing to just come forward and throw a shot every now and then, I think he's got a pretty clear path to victory over Woodley.

In other news, 170 went from being one of the UFC's best divisions to a dull mess so gradually I hardly even noticed

shazbat!! punk v jackson was a joke eh? a $70 ppv in stateside? wow sucks to be you

I'd guess you are talking about the Wonderboy fights. Styles make fights. You're really not gonna give any credit to the guy that KO'd Robbie Lawler?

 

[crazymakak]

so you can not underestimate Conor! He's the most powerful weapon - is to destroy your opponent to the octagon! He is able to cause the bright feelings of men ... they forget about their best qualities ... losing control of himself! In the past Conor fights in the UFC, the fighters came out morally and psychologically obosannymi! And Habib can easily deviate from the game plan ... forget what a struggle and wants it cut down in the rack! This is the first!​

Second ... a long time, he still will not run from it ... and if in real life Conor wants to return to the Octagon ... and Habib would be at this point with a belt ... then there really sorry ... this meeting is inevitable. ..libo flee farther ... until with Habib will not remove the crown ... and there will be no more suitable a chance to return! And there is no one who is not afraid of no ... I do not believe it ... just stupidly Conor need motivation to return it!
UFC needs this fight ... but do we need any UFC fight with Conor ... no matter who will oppom! What do you think ... little pussy who want to give Conor? Yes, there is the whole division and light featherweight weight category will agree ... after one ring ... speak ... not a moment's hesitation!)

 

[Sil3ntness]

I'm already ready for UFC 226. It's going to be a really good card!

Super fight between LHW champ Daniel Cormier & HW champ Stipe Miocic can go either way IMO. Then we have another championship fight between undefeated Brian Ortega and Max "blessed" Holloway that fight could clearly be fight of the night if it goes the distance.

The whole card is amazing, Ngannou who just came off a title shot facing the Black Beast! Former champion Pettis facing off against Chiesa. Hopefully no one is injured. Looks like a must see event so far!

Who are you predicting to win the 4 fights you've listed here? (& who do you WANT to win the 4 fights you've listed?).

I pick Stipe but I bet on DC weeks ago and actually want DC to win it (does that even make sense?)

Holloway (it'll be tense though... Ortega is pretty slick)

Ngannou > Beast (but for a rematch I want the Black Beast to take on Negreanu by mistake identity & knock him clear out of the ring (< not by mistake))

Chiesa > Pettis

 

[crazymakak]

Well, probably not. Alvarez did not try to translate Conor to the ground. There have been attempts to transfer half of the fight. Iaquinta is still a basic fighter.
You can from morning to evening train fighting for several years and still not even close to get close to someone who is struggling with birth

 

[andyt5303]

Anyone else surprised to see DC a +200 dog against Miocic? DC is undefeated at HW and beat a number of legit guys there in the past, it’s gonna be an amazing fight but I can’t see DC losing ever - easy money!

Can’t wait for this card!!

 

[liuouhgkres]

So I just looked at UFC 226 card, and omg, this is one of the best cards ever. Definitely can not miss it. I think Stipe will lose, he breaks under pressure and Cormier is second best HW after Cain at putting pressure on opponents. Chiesa will win too, for other two fights I have no idea, but rooting for Ngannou and Ortega.

 

[liuouhgkres]

and btw, why felder is fighting mike perry? this is a meaningless missmatch, why would felder take this fight?

Because he wants it. And I like this matchup.

Paul Felder will get his wish to fight Mike Perry next weekend at UFC 226.

Just hours after Felder (15-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Perry (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) lost their respective opponents for upcoming fights, they have now been paired against each other in a welterweight bout at UFC 226, a person with knowledge of the situation told MMAjunkie.

The person requested anonymity because an announcement has yet to be made.

UFC 226 takes place July 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Felder originally was supposed to fight James Vick in the UFC Fight Night 133 co-main event on July 14. The fight fell apart earlier today, though, when Vick was shifted into a headlining spot against Justin Gaethje at UFC Fight Night 135 in August.

“The Irish Dragon” expressed his frustrations on social media after losing two fights late within a four-month stretch, but put his name forth to fight Perry after Yancy Medeiros suffered a rib injury that caused him to withdraw from UFC 226.

Needless to say, both men are excited for the new matchup.
