The UFC Discussion and Prediction Topic

they are earning more in boxing https://x.com/MMAJunkie/status/1809624226195800165
i think in one match in UFC, is less than $60k but them fighting in boxing Nate gets $500k while George gets $300k.  Masvidal is a finisher.

Both of them won with their purse and neither of them probably spent a lot during their preparation for this match. Conor, on the other hand, lost $500K for betting on Diaz (from some social media posts I saw). I guess his rival still doesn't want him to win even if they are not fighting directly My bad, Diaz won the boxing match and I'm seeing new posts that Conor also won around $1.6 Million from the $500K bet.

Nate Diaz is getting more attention recently, after winning against Masvidal in boxing he could be facing Michael Chandler next in UFC.
Conor McGregor is not doing anything after canceled fight with Chandler, and I dont think anyone should consider that punk for anything serious in UFC.
Last fight in UFC for Chandler was in 2022 against Dustin Poirier, and Nate Diaz last fight was in the same year with Tony Ferguson.

UFC is finally back this weekend so we can move on to that.
Main event Namajunas vs Cortez is great but I am not that excited about other fights on this fight card.

Not the most exciting card ever, but better than nothing.
I'm strongly against females in combat sports, so going to ignore the main event, but Dober Vs Silva looks promising.

The main card:

You are right about this, but some people are pushing for strong woman and other strange things.
If you look who the real owners of UFC are you will understand why this is happening.
Next UFC event is even worse, again two females as main event Amanda Lemos vs Virna Jandiroba.
All that being said, I think there are few amazing female fighters I like and Rose Namajunas is one of them.

she isn't really tough like Nunes but she can KO and submit opponent. i don't usually watch women in ufc but after beating one of the baddest in the women's division Weili Zhang, it made me watch her fights.

kills the expectation though when she was beaten by Esparza and Foirot. so i'm not sure if Rose wins still. some are saying Cortez is much tougher and will whoop Rose ass when they get there. when it comes to ground fight Rose is well rounded, she could fight on the ground too.

I dont like Nunes and what she is representing in UFC, but she is a good fighter and different Bantamweight category from Rose Namajunas that is in Flyweight.

More interesting news coming from Alex Pereira who released a video about his comeback that is planned for this year in November or December.
This could be fight against Magomed Ankalaev or anyone else that UFC offers to him. 
He already defeated Prochazka, Hill, and Blachowicz, so Ankalaev and Rakic are only two top fighters left.

Ankalaev surely deserves a title shot and if he doesn't get one, it would be a dent on the UFC's reputation, meaning they no longer have any regards to rankings or the sport element of the business (focussing only on the showbusiness part of it).
I'll be glad to see Pereira moving up to fight Aspinall in the heavyweight, but, in such case he should vacate the light heavyweight belt and let Ankalaev fight for it against someone else.

Ankalaev should be next for Pereira if they are both healthy and ready for fight but UFC only cares about numbers and how much money that fight can bring.
If I was in Periera place I would not go to heavyweight category, difference in size and everything else is huge, but they can always bring down someone to light heavyweight for him.

he seem to just rely on whatever is offered to him and if he ever goes to HW, he wants to go directly to the belt and not to fight someone like Volkov or Gane but Jones. however i think this time Jones will be stripped already i recently say a news about it which i guess its going to be up or grabs and it could be Tom vs Pereira if he moves to HW.

i leaning more to the HW direction of his career since he might want to make more money than fighting someone who could potentially take that HW opportunity away from him. and he also mentioned boxing, i think this will also be a greater opportunity for Pereira.

Rose Namajunas is back with another win against Tracy Cortez, but this fight card wont be remembered for anything special.
UFC is preparing for bigger events in future, and while everyone is wondering when are we going to see Jon Jones back in octagon, he just earned two new charges for misdemeanor because of drug test.
Jones vs Miocic is planned for UFC 309 in New York during November.

Trump attending this after getting shot, as posted in social media by some personalities, would have been the highlight of the event.

We'll probably see the video of the incident soon. His ego was probably hurt but I can understand also why someone would be agitated if suddenly asked to do something after taking a nap.

^ doesn't look surprising when we once again seeing news about jones charged with misdemeanor. seem to be his habit already. despite all those, he is still the goat in UFC.
yes i also read those posts that Trump would have been in that Namajunas-Cortez fight if he wasn't shot. it would have been another ovation for the UFC crowd in that stadium.

this weekend is UFC ON ESPN 60 - LEMOS VS. JANDIROBA​



one exciting person is the DOO HO CHOI "The Korean Superboy" which his fight win or lose might just be the FOTN

(...) and while everyone is wondering when are we going to see Jon Jones back in octagon, he just earned two new charges for misdemeanor because of drug test.
Jones vs Miocic is planned for UFC 309 in New York during November.

Thanks for the update. I was worried it might be something big, that could get him suspended again, but according to the video he only got charged with "minor" misdemeanour, so probably that's nothing serious.
November seems pretty far away from now, but at least we have a date and some indication of when we can expect the fight to happen.
Meanwhile, we're less than 2 weeks away from Tom Aspinall defending his interim heavyweight belt, something that shouldn't really be happening but hey.

UFC isn't making Tommy vs Curtis 2 a grander event. I can understand Belal who is just a UD artist fighting also who is a UD artist.  But UFC making Bones vs Old Stipe the most-awaited fight?

I also saw in one of the Facebook posts (legit FB page) that he doesn't care who he will be fighting with.

His main priority is the belt, and he doesn't care who the opponent will be. Maybe let's add Aspinall and Jon Jones to the list as well because who knows. We might see him going to Heavyweight and try to make history as the first UFC fighter to win in 3 divisions. If I remember correctly, he doesn't want to down on weight anymore and face Adesanya (or it's the other way around). Anyway, whoever he will be fighting with, it willa always be an interesting fight.

Jones vs Miocic is planned for UFC 309 in New York during November.

If this happens, then exclude Jon Jones to the list of possible fighters that Pereira might face in his next match then. Aspinall might be, or if there will be a rematch between him and Hill since he wants a rematch.
