Ige Vs Barbosa.....Whoa
Is Holland fighting Hernandez or the crazy Italian?
I lost about 900 last card. Skipping this one.
Pounding out these events every 3 days now... Next indeed...
Hill has fought like 5/6 times this year.
With only 11 fights on the card.Originally Posted by hankcream
They could add Uriah Hall vs Martin Vettori.
Agreed, they are averaging one fight cancellation per card now, if that trend continues there will only be 10 fights on this card..
DonTale Mayes as a Fav....not on my watch LOL...
I'm curious to see Barboza at 145 he's not big 155er and not so many wrestlers in featherweight division most likely big factor to move down. If weight cut is smooth i would favor Edson.

Angela Hill has been improving with every fight, won 3 fights in a row now. Does she have a chance at winning by decision in this one?
1111 Hill wins by 3 round decision +245

Not a good enough price IMO but you never know...

Safest bet is fights goes the distance then. Odds reflect that though..
1103 Gadelha / Hill goes 3 round distance -285
Angela Hill is durable and has been a decision machine for years up until recently with a few stoppage finishes for wins but only recently, on the flip Gadelha has NEVER been stopped or finished.. https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Claudia-Gadelha-48404
If Claudia loses fights it's only by decision because she gasses late and gets out worked.. That's why I thought maybe Hill could out point and out cardio Caudia in this one. Maybe win by decision.
Odds probably aren't good enough though like Paper posted above..
I’m hearing Mike Davis pulled out of UFC Jacksonville fight against Giga Chikadze for the third time.
UFC is finding a new opponent for Giga Chikadze.
Any truth ?
Early prelim fight. Nothing major.
Early Prelim fights are where you can gamble and make your money.
If I had only bet the Early prelims and stopped after that in the past 3 UFC events I'd be sitting fat on the books as was up big with every event.. Main event big name fights is where I got lit up like a Christmas tree in every event since corona hit..
Basically breaking even with every event in the end with Corona so far.. Not liking that..

Can’t believe Barboza made featherweight
Urijah Faber made a surprise appearance at the weigh-ins today. He weighed in at 153.5. The reason he did so is because Song Yadong, who weighed 145.5, has a potential **** issue that may preclude him from fighting tomorrow. They are trying to sort it out. Faber standing by.

Why would SBR censor the word v1sa lol ?
MMA MANIA prelim write ups!!
170 lbs.: Matt Brown (22-16) vs. Miguel Baeza (8-0)
“The Immortal” initially announced his retirement in 2017 after flatlining Diego Sanchez, but soon had a fight booked against Carlos Condit. When a torn ACL scrapped that, Brown took on Ben Saunders in November, knocking out his fellow TUF veteran with ground-and-pound late in the second. 20 of Brown’s victories, and all of them since 2012, have come inside the distance.
Baeza, part of a Contender Series show that saw all five fights go the distance, walked away with a UFC contract for his decision over the overweight Victor Reyna. Four months later, he took on Hector Aldana in Tampa, battering the Mexican slugger with low kicks before putting him away in the second. Though two inches taller than Brown, he faces a reach disadvantage.
It’s worth remembering that, aside from Jake Ellenberger, Brown only lost to former or future title challengers during his 1-5 skid. While he probably should have stayed retired, being a 39-year-old old with an inadvisable number of slugfests under his belt, an inability to keep up with the elite doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s shot. I favor him against the still-developing Baeza, who has some bad habits that the deceptively savvy “Immortal” can exploit.
Brown just looks to be more seasoned and more versatile with his striking. Unless Baeza can hobble him early with low kicks or land clean on Brown’s infamously fragile midsection, Brown overpowers him in a Fight of the Night brawl.
Prediction: Brown by second-round TKO
185 lbs.: Anthony Hernandez (7-1) vs. Kevin Holland (16-5)
“Fluffy” Hernandez demolished Jordan Wright on the Contender Series to earn a UFC contract, only to test positive for marijuana and see his win overturned to a No Contest. He ultimately made his UFC debut in February of last year, and though he fell to Markus Perez, he got on the scoreboard with an anaconda finish of Jun Yong Park six months later. Four of his six stoppage wins have come by first-round guillotine.
Holland didn’t dazzle quite as much in his own Contender Series appearance, but still made it to the UFC as a late replacement against Thiago Santos. He followed up that loss with three consecutive wins before running afoul of Brendan Allen in October. He’ll enjoy a three-inch height advantage and a six-inch reach advantage.
The phrase “his fight to lose” is a bit of a tautology, but damned if it doesn’t apply to Holland. “Trail Blazer” is towering, unfairly rangy, and is capable of doing some real damage when his head’s on straight. Unfortunately, all those gifts are weighed down by a truly baffling lack of fight IQ. Going by the media scores, he should be on a three-fight losing streak; the only person he’s definitely beaten in the Octagon is John Philips, the most one-note fighter in the entire Middleweight division.
While Hernandez remains a work-in-progress, Holland just leaves way too many openings. Inconsistent takedown defense means Holland will struggle to get his kickboxing going without leaving himself open to Hernandez’s wrestling attack, and Holland’s willingness to hunt sweeps and submissions rather than stand is a bad trait to have against an opportunistic submission specialist. “Fluffy” catches Holland’s neck in transition.
Prediction: Hernandez by first-round submission
145 lbs.: Giga Chikadze (9-2) vs. Mike Davis (8-2)*
After losing to Sodiq Yusuff in his Contender Series headliner, Davis picked up a pair of stoppages in Island fights, then answered the call to face Gilbert Burns on short notice. Six months after that defeat, he handed Thomas Gifford one of the most one-sided beatings in recent memories en route to a crushing knockout win. “Beast Boy” has never gone the distance in victory, knocking out seven.
Chikadze’s upset loss to Austin Springer on the Contender Series delayed his Octagon debut until last September, when he took a decision over fellow alumnus Brandon Davis. He was slated to face Davis earlier this year, but instead took on Jamall Emmers in March and claimed a narrow split decision. The Georgian Glory veteran will have a 1.5-inch reach advantage.
I’ll admit that this is probably just sour grapes, but Chikadze’s victory over Emmers was less a product of Chikadze successfully adapting his striking game to MMA and more a product of Emmers taking too long to actually put the pressure on and get his wrestling going. Though Chikadze showed a nice sweep and improving takedown defense, he visibly faded once Emmers began to push the pace, and Davis has the toolset to put Chikadze through the grinder in similar fashion.
Davis admittedly doesn’t have Emmers’ wrestling pedigree, but he does have some takedowns in his back pocket, and the fact that he’s a much sharper striker than Emmers should allow him to compensate. Davis smothers Chikadze’s long-range attack and mixes in regular takedowns for a wide decision.
Prediction: Davis by unanimous decision
*Davis replaced last night by Irwin Rivera following weight-cutting complications
125 lbs.: Cortney Casey (8-7) vs. Mara Romero Borella (12-7)
Casey bounced back from an 0-2 Octagon start to win three of her next four, including an armbar finish of Randa Markos. She presently finds herself in a 1-3 hole, having gone to three consecutive split decisions before losing unanimously to Cynthia Calvillo. This will be her first fight in 15 months.
A decision over Milana Dudieva in her first and only Invicta appearance sent Borella to the UFC, where she choked out the favored Kalindra Faria in her 2018 debut. Like Casey, she enters the cage this Saturday on a 1-3 skid, most recently dropping a decision to Montana De La Rosa. She’ll enjoy a two-inch reach advantage on “Cast Iron.”
Casey’s success in this fight depends entirely upon her ability to keep it standing. Though her issues with range management keep her from being a standout striker, she’s so much busier than Borella on the feet that she can cruise to a decision. Her poor takedown defense is a serious concern, though, especially since she won’t have the size and strength advantages she enjoys at Strawweight. Casey is a capable grappler, certainly, but isn’t good enough on the ground to beat Borella from the bottom.
Ultimately, I favor Casey’s volume striking by the slimmest of margins. She’ll spend some time on her back and it’ll probably wind up a split decision, but I say she ekes it out.
Prediction: Casey by split decision
145 lbs.: Darren Elkins (24-8) vs. Nate Landwehr (13-3)
“The Damage” put together a six-fight winning streak to establish himself as a Featherweight contender, beating the likes of Chas Skelly, Mirsad Bektic, and Dennis Bermudez along the way. The run was not to last, and he now finds himself in the midst of a three-fight losing streak. He is an inch taller than Landwehr but will give up an inch of reach.
“The Train” mauled his way to the M-1 Featherweight title with a knockout of Khamzad Dalgiev, then successfully defended it against Andrey Lezhnev and Viktor Kolesnki to punch his ticket to the Octagon. In his January debut, he took on fellow debutant Herbert Burns, who caught Landwehr with a gnarly knee midway through the first round. Eight of his pro wins have come by form of knockout.
The Darren Elkins that Homer Simpson’d his way through the rankings presents a nightmarish stylistic matchup for Landwehr. “The Train’s” raw aggression leaves him wide open to both strikes and takedowns, and Elkins is always happy to spam the latter. The concern is that Elkins has absorbed what could best be described as a horrific amount of damage since his run; after getting blasted to oblivion by Ricardo Lamas and repeatedly rocked by Ryan Hall of all people, his ability to execute his customary game plan against even a limited slugger like Landwehr is in question.
Even with those concerns, though, Elkins is too proven against head-on bruisers for me to expect a loss against someone of Landwehr’s caliber. As always, Elkins tanks his way through the onslaught to rack up loads of top control and secure a decision.
Prediction: Elkins by unanimous decision
265 lbs.: Rodrigo Nascimento (7-0) vs. Don’Tale Mayes (7-3)
**** issues delayed “Ze Colmeia’s” Contender Series debut until last July, when he met unbeaten Michal Martinek. After countering an early takedown, Nascimento locked up an arm triangle choke for his seventh pro stoppage victory. He’s tapped five opponents, all but one in the first round, and knocked out two other opponents in under a minute apiece.
Mayes, the only three-time Contender Series veteran, moved past his TKO loss to Allen Crowder with stoppages of Mitchell Sipe and Ricardo Prasel en route to a UFC contract. For his trouble, he got to face top prospect Ciryl Gane in his debut, tapping to a heel hook in the waning seconds of the third round. “King Kong” is the taller man by three inches.
It’s hard to get a bead on Nascimento’s capabilities outside of his legitimately strong top game. Most of his fights came against low-level opposition and ended quickly; all he’s really shown of his striking are the sort of face-first punching flurries Fabricio Werdum enjoys and all we’ve seen of his wrestling is the ability to defend Martinek’s poor shot.
Mayes may be a lumbering bomber, but he’s also the more proven fighter and generally has pretty good takedown defense. Nascimento doesn’t have the striking polish to avoid those haymakers; unless he’s been hiding some solid takedown chops, Mayes clips him in a wild exchange for an early finish.
Prediction: Mayes by first-round TKO
Harris is steal at -137. overeem hasn't been impressed in last 5 years, def someone to fade on.
1529 Brown wins by TKO/KO* +419
1411 Vera wins by 3 round decision +515*
2027 Nascimento wins by submission +177*vs Any other result
