Pay attention to the start time on this one. Will be a daytime card which doesn’t happen often.


On that note, I wonder how much UFC makes on daytime numbered cards. Guessing they take a bath on the PPV in exchange for growing the brand internationally.

definitely gonna look at some parlay options with these. one thing to take into account is that the fights are in abu dhabi so I can see some fighters having favoritism in judging.


In general when it’s an Abu Dhabi event, bet the favorites who look like Abraham Lincoln.

My guess is that Abu Dhabi pays a premium to have the event there to offset any losses in ppv.

Island boy vs Soviet Bloc Eastern Euro mountain man.

I swear, Dana is just watching Street Fighter for matchups. It's so great.

khamzat hasnt shown to have a great gas tank and alot of people thought he lost the burns fight and the usman fight was razor close and most people thought if it was 5 rounds he would have lost that one.

Khamzat's gas tank gets brought up a lot as a weakness. Is this because of the Burns and Usman fights? The fight with Burns was a war, and I don't remember thinking that he gassed out.

The fight with Usman--Khamzat tore a ligament in his hand in the first round. If that hadn't happened, I think he would have won more decisively. It's gotta hurt like hell to try and grab hold of a guy and grapple or punch him when your hand is in pain. So naturally he was less active in the second and third rounds.

re: the size difference between Max and Topuria--MMA Guru was saying that Max has always had trouble with strong shorter fighters. Because he has to adjust his stance to be lower so that his punches can land with the force of a direct hit on their shorter height level. I think he was saying that that's why Max had such a hard time with Volkanovski.

The way Topuria knocked out Volkanovski... That was crazy. Lights out with the right and then hits him with the left, Volk slumps over.

It's gonna be wild. One more sleep. Looks like the prelims start at 9AM.

It really sucks this card is in the middle of the day on a college football Saturday.

Wow, I didn’t think Rinat won a single round much less getting a unanimous decision. One judge gave him all 3 rounds. wtf?

That was blatant. Terrible. Extremely suspect.

You might get fighters refusing to fight in Abu Dhabi, what's the point if it's rigged?
