UFC in St. Louis, MO this weekend with Lewis / Nascimento and Buckley / Ruziboev
+ my fight to watch Ulberg / Menifield
... Though there are some other notable names for me on the card, like Hooper, Borschev, and Rebecki. Hopefully I can catch Robelis Despaigne get a flatlining KO again
And I like Tabatha Ricci. So for me, this card is pretty fun, and I think could be a sneaky good one to catch! Enjoy everyone!

PFL is in Riyadh, KSA for some local themed fights, if that's your kind of thing.

FOTN - Diego Ferreira winning vs Rebecki (a polish wrestler who has dealt with solid opponents b4). I thought Ferreira was going to get controlled all match but it was quite the opposite and he got a KO in the waning seconds of the fight.

top performance - Buckley DEC vs Ruziboev. Was in front of his home fans and he put on a great show, stopping Ruziboev's strengths and tiring him out to a UD win. I picks wrong here too.

silver star - Chase Hooper's domination of Borshchev. I also was on the Slava Claus hype train and Hooper completely won with amazing grappling and BJJ. A D'arce Choke to finish was slick.

big win - Waldo Cortes-Acosta was a massive underdog vs KO hype machine Despaigne, but he controlled the fight (though it wasn't...the most exciting lay and pray type bout). He passed a test and get a W, which will be important for his career. He was basically tossed this hard punching highlight reel and dealt with him quite well. I also was on the Despaigne hype train with a KO1 predicted, but nope was so wrong!

Best stoppage - Ulberg with a savage combo to Menifield who charged recklessly (to put on a show for the fans?). night night with a powerful left. (This guy Ulberg deserves a main-event fight night at LHW)


Please no more - Lewis taking his cup off and throwing it into the audience

Get better soon - Robelis Desaigne's hype train (completely derailed)

UFC Fight Night at the lAme-pex...

Some interesting matchups this weekend though, including the undefeated Lerone Murphy vs Edson Barboza in the main event, should be a good fight. I'm looking for Gorimbo's fight vs Brahimaj as well.

Otherwise, seeing Abus Magomedov on the prelims after getting toasted by Strickland in a main event fight is telling how far the hype train is off, will he rebound with a win ?

Some interesting other offerings, including 4 WMMA bouts of various interest, but probably not a high-priority for anyone to catch this card tbh.

Regardless, I'll turn it on, I have Bellator on right now watching the main event. Mix v Magomedov II


Edit: Mix got a SD over Magomedov and it was an alright fight. Neither fighter could really seem to deal dmg effectively.


Edit 2 - my picks for the weekend.

Spoiler:

Murphy | Decision
Harris | Submission | Round 2
Gorimbo | KO/TKO | Round 2
Yanez | Decision
Hill | Decision
Nolan | KO/TKO | Round 2
Sy | KO/TKO | Round 1
Vidal | KO/TKO | Round 3
Magomedov | Decision
Rodriguez | Decision
Rodrigues | Submission | Round 2
Demopoulos | Decision

8-of-12 this week, some missed with some Brazilians losing... etc...


FOTN - Murphy Decision W over Barboza - Great varied performance where Lerone dominated distance and damage, grappling, and evasion.

top performance - Angela Hill's sub over Pinheiro, she is always getting better and is such dog. Can't count her out even though her record has many losses to it.

silver star - Khaos Williams with an amazing KO over Carlston Harris. Starched, he could've been submitted if it went to ground.... It didn't, he's a name for the WW division to follow. [I picked this one wrong]

big win - Abus Magomedov - I maybe foolishly was on his hype train, but it was a good sign for him to make it through a dominant decision win without gassing out and controlling the damage well. He had dipped significantly after Strickland's KO over him.

Best stoppage - Adrian Yañez with a right hook to send Vincinius Salvador to the shadow realm. Good form, perfect placement.


Please no more - Some interesting moments this card with Piera Rodrigues dominating the fight vs Carnelossi but was warned against an un-intentional headbutt while in top position. Moments later she then proceeded to move her head down to gain more control, and ended up kind of intentionally headbutting Carnelossi again. The fight was stopped and Carnelossi couldn't continue after 5 minutes, giving her a DQ Win. The bad look ? She had just been upkicked in the chin and was probably lights out anyways. IT was awkward and yes, by rule the right decision. I think ref should've taken 1 point instead of DQ W for Carnelossi (who again, was REALLY behind in the fight by all accounts and looked to play off the head butt by appearing knocked out). Okay, so I don't want to say I could take a headbutt, intentional or not, but the straight kick she blocked with her chin obviously was the more damaging attack. Sad to see.

In other news, Dom Cruz on the call with Felder isn't so bad, they are pretty even. Fitzgerald is a good moderator with them.

Get better soon - Tamires Vidal's chest was punched and she asked for a ref to step in, as though it was a low-blow, and was counted out as a TKO. Ouch on both parts. The fight was pretty tit-for-tat until that point.


HM Tom Nolan dominated in his bout today.
