UFC Dern vs Hill Recap
Ep. 102
•
UFC has finished it's most recent Apex offering and I would say the card over delivered. Mackenzie Dern made a statement in the main event. Edmen Shahbazyan is well still Edmen. Loopy Godinez continues to improve. And Buckley won his Welterweight debut.
And Boxing reminded us with Haney/Loma that MMA doesn't have a bad judging monopoloy.
Let's Unpack the Fights!
Edit: Forgot Esparza was pregnant, Dern/Andrade is my new next fight for her (uninspired as it is)

247. UFC Seattle: Song vs Cejudo Predictions
40:05||Ep. 247The 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.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread246. UFC Vegas 102: Cannonier vs Rodrigues Predictions
31:45||Ep. 246We'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.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread245. UFC 312: Du Plessis vs. Strickland 2 Recap
31:37||Ep. 245The 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.

UFC 312: Du Plessis vs. Strickland 2 Predictions
36:06||Ep. 244We 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.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread243. UFC Riyadh: Adesanya vs Imavov Predictions
41:56||Ep. 243The 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.Let's break down the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread242. UFC 311: Makhachev vs. Moicano Recap
42:13||Ep. 242UFC 311 was a pretty fun time. The main event was probably the best version of what was on offer possible. Merab did Merab things in the co-main event and Hill/Jiri was a banger and a half as expected.On the downside 2 really good prospects I had very high hopes for took their first Ls in bad fashion. Now 1 I do have some hope for, even in losing I liked some of the adjustments and the composure with the right coaching the train can be put back on the right track. The other...........well there's a lot of work and re-working to be done.Let's unpack the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread241. UFC 311: Makhachev vs. Moicano Predictions (Yep the Main Event got scrapped)
45:27||Ep. 241We have gone from a high anticipated main event to Islam Makhachev vs Renato "Money" Moicano. Big props to Moicano for taking the short notice title shot and Makhachev for accepting a fight that being honest does nothing for him.Merab Dvalishvili looks to defend his title against the latest title challenger from Dagestan in Umar Nurmagomedov. And in the third big fight it's former champs and violence kings Jiří Procházka and Jamahal Hill. While they are violence kings they are also hilariously flawed.Let's break down the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread240. UFC Tampa: Buckley vs Covington Recap
40:54||Ep. 240Well well, I haven't had an undefeated card in a bit. Feels nice.UFC Tampa was an interesting mix of old guys getting another impressive performance in like Davey Grant, Cub Swanson and Dustin Jacoby but also a cruel reminder in Colby Covington that time comes for our favorite fighters. Also Piera Rodriguez reminded everyone that she's got immense potential but a large number of fans are taking the wrong lesson from her fight with Josephine Knutsson.Let's unpack the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread239. UFC Tampa: Buckley vs Covington Predictions
44:43||Ep. 239The UFC heads to Tampa for a Fight Night headlined by well Colby Covington. Now it wasn't suppose to be but we have Colby Main Eventing in 2024 after that horrid title fight...The card has a pattern, there's a lot of fighters because of age or because of coming face to face with their flaws and doing what fighters do and trying to figure out where to go from here.So it could be a really insightful night of fights but it could also could lead to some rather dull fights.Bright side? We get Daniel Marcos vs Adrian Yanez, Miles Johns vs Felipe Lima and Drakkar Klose vs Joel Alvarez.Let's break down the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread
