UFC 261: Usman vs. Masvidal 2 (April 24, 2021)

[JC2008]

I really hope I am wrong on this one.
I just realized that this fight is in Florida.
It’s a recipe for disaster if the Usman vs Masdival fight goes to the scorecards.
Masvidal having home court advantage with a combination of Florida corrupt judging.

Then take Masvidal by Decision +900 and be happy!

^^Masvidal isn't winning a decision against Usman. Stop that nonsense.. Masvidal by KO or a freak sub after rocking Usman standing if he does win.

Usman will grind and wrestle and win rounds on points like he did in the first fight which he won by UNANIMOUS decision.

Shiiiiiit I agree with jibby

- I NEVER SAID I BACK MASVIDAL BY DECISION!

- Pinoy-T-X was speculating on the possibility of shady cards in Florida which is understandable; so if he brought that up then I meant he should take a stab on the decision since the odds are almost 10-to-1... I give Masvidal a puncher's chance to win, no better. This fight will be a rinse and repeat of the first fight. Usman round 5 is +2000 which is enticing for a small play, imo. GL all! It's gonna be weird with fans again, haha.

[WolfTicketDealer]

Really intrigued by Rose-Zhang. I think the striking will be close for the first couple rounds although Zhang has better cardio. Still, it's hard not to like Rose at (+180). Will be interesting to see if Zhang is the same after the war with Joanna.

115 lbs.: Liang Na vs. Ariane Carnelossi

China’s Liang Na (15-4) ran into future standouts like Liliya Shakirova, Juliana Velasquez, and Mariya Agapova before putting together her current 6-1 run. She last saw action in Jan. 2021, catching countrywoman Liu Mengnan with the fifth armbar of her professional career.
Twelve of her 13 professional finishes came in the first round.
Ariane Carnelossi (12-2) put a debut loss to Amanda Ribas behind her with 12 consecutive wins, eight of them by form of knockout. Her efforts set up a UFC clash with Angela Hill, who defeated the Brazilian via cut stoppage.
This will be the first fight for “Sorriso” in 19 months.
Like Aori, I couldn’t find any fights of hers more recent than 2018, but Liang appears to be one of the most single-minded submission artists you’re likely to see in the modern era. She’ll shoot within seconds, even pulling guard if she has to, before chasing armbars, chokes, and heel hooks with reckless abandon. Unfortunately, her style has consistently fallen short against capable opponents, and the ultra-violent Carnelossi definitely fits the bill.
Liang surprising “Sorriso” with a quick-kill submission isn’t totally out of the question, but between Carnelossi’s power and takedown defense, she’s far likelier to get smashed on the feet or pounded out from guard while looking for armbars. Either way, Carnelossi polishes her off early.
Prediction: Carnelossi via first round technical knockout

Jesus, what is this girl eating?

[PaperTrail07]

what a s t a r t

[unitedlad]

This feels so weird. I fecking love it! This goes to prove how much influence the crowd has, not only on the fighters performance but the overall entertainment value!

[Unwritten Law]

Masvidal should have a huge crowd advantage. It will erupt when he pulls it off tonight. Great start to the prelims! Felt like man vs woman though! lol

[frankieunits2685]

I am surprised the ref/doctor let the 2nd round start. Liang literally needed to be carried to her stool, I don't remember that last time I have seen that.

[DR225]

I guess she had one of the worst adrenaline dumps. Or maybe an injury in training camp that didn't allow her to work on cardio. Somebody who is routinely grappling with and submitting guys shouldn't gas this quickly. Congrats on the 2nd round prop Hugo!
