A solid matchmaking endeavor, intentional? Accidental?

2 former champs in meaningful fights on a free card? It's almost like the good old days of UFC Fight Nights. This card does start out a bit weak, 3 of the first 5 do have some stinker potential but we'll see. The rest of the card picks up into a pretty steady streak of fights that should be reasonably fun and finalizing in a main event that has it's issues (Cause Leon Edwards is a head case) but if nothing else is insightful.

UFC London: Edwards vs Brady Predictions

Is Marvin cooked?

UFC has once again left us with a very Apex Style card. It wasn't bad. There were only 2 fights I found disappointing and in both cases it wasn't about the entertainment value or action factor but rather just a bit of sad downgrade of performance. But I'm not sure the card has a lot of positive meaning because my take aways are Marvin Vettori might be cooked, some of the newcomers are still simmering and some are looking really unfortunate. Let's recap the action.

UFC Vegas 104: Vettori vs Dolidze II Recap

Who asked for this rematch?

Kind of a dull analytical card but I soldier through a throat infection to give you my thoughts. Now just because it's analytically dull doesn't mean I don't expect a fair amount of action. I do. It's just that it's largely lacking meaning and technical intrigue. Let's break down the fights.

UFC Vegas 104: Vettori vs Dolidze II Predictions

Voodoo Time Again

UFC 313 hits us with a 205 Title Defense for Alex Pereira as he tries to apply his Brazilian Voodoo to the chronically promising and frustrating Magomed Ankalaev. In the co-main it's a rematch of Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev which is amazing on paper but the circumstances do dampen my expectations and excitement for the fight. And the supporting cast is pretty solid. Let's break down the fights.

A BJJ Scramblefest on the card? PLEASE GOD DON'T KICKBOX

The UFC returns to Seattle and the main card here is REALLY good and I'm stoked. The lower end of the card doesn't have a lot of interesting dynamics though. Lot of fighters that are a bit undercooked and feel like they need a UFC Developmental promotion which I wish WEC was still around for. None the less, it's not a bad card in totality, some high potential fights and we hope to see the violence. Let's break down the fights.

UFC Seattle: Song vs Cejudo Predictions

Can father time be delayed?

We're back to the Apex and that means well a slop card. Not without interesting fights and yes the slop can deliver sometimes but the excitement level is at about a 2/10. We got some old dogs facing some young studs and we'll see if father time claims another or if we say NOT TODAY and the veterans live for another fight in the limelight. Let's break down the fights.

DDP defends against Strickland's Jab...

The Rematch we didn't need went down as expected and Weili Zhang retained her Strawweight title. Tallison Teixeira at least for now lives up to the hype and more down under. Let's unpack the fights.

UFC 312: Du Plessis vs. Strickland 2 Recap

A Rematch we didn't need

We go down under for a sub standard UFC PPV that is really for the live audience. And the Aussies do make up for fight quality with a A+ crowd. The main event is a rematch for the Middleweight Title that I don't want to say no one asked for...but no one needs. But the co-main event is the long awaited title shot for Tatiana Suarez and that is interesting and dope. The card is otherwise a lot of raw fighters or mismatches and one GEM of a fight between Jack Jenkins and Gabriel Santos. Let's break down the fights.

UFC 312: Du Plessis vs. Strickland 2 Predictions

Sweet Saudi Money the Next Generation

The UFC makes it's way back to Saudi Arabia for another installment of Sweet Saudi Money. Former Middleweight Champ and one time best in the division in the world Israel Adesanya taking on the man of many nations Nassourdine Imavov and meme fighters Shara Magomedov and Michael "Venom" Page take the co-main event. Some solid fights. Some slop. Overall a pretty decent travel card on paper. Though why booked ranked women's fighters on the undercard? If it's a middle east thing just book them elsewhere.
