Five Things We’ve Learned From UFC 322

Posted on November 20, 2025 by Jack Latham

Michael Morales is the biggest threat to Islam Makhachev.

The welterweight division is currently the most stacked in the entire UFC, and UFC 322 proved just why.

Islam Makhachev moved up a weight division to take on the champion, Jack Della Maddalena, and came out victorious after five dominant rounds.

This posed the question: can anyone dethrone one of the best fighters in UFC history who has now proved his worth in two different weight divisions?

And for me, despite the plethora of talent in the division, it will be extremely difficult for anyone to win the belt, apart from Michael Morales.

Belal Muhammad and Ian Garry are set to face off in Qatar on Saturday, and the winner will likely get the next title shot. Both fighters are talented wrestlers but can be hurt on the feet.

My name is Jack Latham.

I became interested in combat sports, particularly MMA, in the lockdown period and have followed it closely ever since.

Beyond the ‘Tale of the Tape’: How I Stopped Guessing and Started Using Data to Actually Understand MMA

Posted on November 20, 2025 by A. J. Riot

Let’s be honest. For years, I watched MMA completely the wrong way.

I was the classic “Tale of the Tape” guy. I’d see a fighter had a 3-inch reach advantage, looked mean at the weigh-in, and I’d think, “Oh yeah, he’s got this.” I’d listen to the pre-fight hype, I’d buy into the narratives… “He’s just hungrier!” “He’s got that dog in him!”

And for years… I was mostly wrong. My buddies and I would argue over a beer, and my predictions were, to put it kindly, garbage. It was frustrating. I loved the sport, but I felt like I was just guessing. I was watching, but I wasn’t seeing.

It all changed when I had a (very humbling) conversation with a friend who’s… well, let’s just say he’s a “data guy.” I was going on about how Fighter A was going to destroy Fighter B because of “heart.” He just smiled, opened his laptop, and ruined my whole day.

“Heart is great,” he said. “But it’s not a metric. Let’s look at the metrics.” And that, my friends, was my rabbit hole.

The “Head vs. Heart” Bet: Why Being a Diehard MMA Fan Makes You a Worse Bettor

Posted on November 20, 2025 by A. J. Riot

We all have that one fighter.

The one you’ve followed since their early days. Maybe you saw them on a local card, or you caught their wild debut on a prelim. You’ve watched their interviews, you follow them on Instagram, you know their backstory.

They’re your guy.

And this weekend, they’re fighting.

You look at the odds… and your heart sinks. They’re a +350 underdog. The “experts” are all picking the other guy. The stats aren’t in their favor.

So you do what any loyal fan does. You march to your betting app and you hammer that +350 moneyline. You know something they don’t. You have a feeling. This is destiny.

And then, 90 seconds into the first round, your guy gets caught, and it’s over. Just like that.

Your wallet is lighter, your night is ruined, and you’re left wondering… what just happened?

What happened is simple: you let your head (the fan) make a bet that your brain (the bettor) should have vetoed. This is the single hardest part of betting on MMA, and it’s the trap that costs fans more money than any other: you can’t separate being a fan from being a bettor.

Posted on November 19, 2025 by A. J. Riot

Knockouts aren’t just flashy finishes. They define careers, help shape mixed martial arts, and energize the fans. Achieving the most knockouts in UFC history isn’t just a numbers game. It is somewhat of a market of timing, endurance, power, and, of course, the ability to close a fight in style.

In this post, we will talk about how knockout records change over time, who holds the top spots, and why the knockout artists matter so much in the Octagon and outside of it.

Artur Beterbiev Now a Free Agent After Contract Expiry

Posted on November 19, 2025 by A. J. Riot

A promotional bidding war for Artur Beterbiev is likely in the near future after the former undisputed light-heavyweight champion’s contract with Top Rank expired.

Commonly referred to as ‘King Artur,’ the Canadian fighter is apparently going to have a major career change in the near future. A retirement from boxing doesn’t seem to be on the card quite yet, though there may be some other changes going forward.

Mixed Martial Arts has evolved into one of the most strategically complex combat sports on the planet. In the early days, brute force and single-discipline dominance often decided fights. Today, fighters must master multiple disciplines to stay competitive.

Among these, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) stands out as a game-changer. Fighters across the board are refining their grappling skills, understanding that BJJ in MMA is no longer just an asset; it’s a requirement.

Real-Time Statistics: Informed Betting in the Melbet App

Posted on November 18, 2025 by A. J. Riot

Players who place bets in the Melbet App in Bangladesh often combine watching the match, statistics and selecting odds in several windows at the same time. At the same time, attention is constantly shifting, the speed of decision-making drops, and the bet is based on emotions rather than an understanding of what is happening on the field. When statistics are viewed in one place and bets are placed in another, there is a disconnect between the feeling of the match and the actual analysis.

Live Betting at 1Win Pakistan: How to Choose the Right Moment to Enter

Posted on November 18, 2025 by A. J. Riot

Live betting in the 1Win Pakistan app attracts players because it allows them to react to the situation directly during the match. Here, betting is not a prediction of the future, but a response to what is happening on the field or court at the moment. However, this is where the main difficulty arises. When events change quickly, decisions can become impulsive. If you place a bet just because the odds have risen sharply or because the team has made several successful moves in a row, your balance will be spent without control. To avoid this, it is important to understand the rhythm of the game and choose the moment to enter consciously.

A Milestone for European Masters Boxing

Posted on November 17, 2025 by Ralph-Peter Frohn-lux

Germany vs. England – Masterboxing Supercard with Three WBU World Championship Fights

A milestone for European masters boxing

Markt Erlbach (15 November)

One of the most significant masters boxing events of the year took place on Saturday evening at the Rangauhalle in Markt Erlbach. In front of a packed house, 21 bouts were contested, including three officially sanctioned WBU world championship fights – two of them inaugural title bouts and one successful title defence.

Masters boxing, long smiled at and underestimated, presented itself here on a fully professional level:
Male and female athletes from Germany, England, Italy, Austria, Bulgaria and the Netherlands, aged between 32 and over 60, delivered technically high-quality and fair contests throughout the entire evening.

The event was organized by Ralf-Peter Frohn-Lux and Ralph Heerdegen, who have been working for years to establish professional structures in masters boxing.

A special highlight of the night was the successful title defence by WBU world champion Jürgen Grabosch, who was coached in his corner by Siegfried “Sigi” Schuster, a former successful Austrian boxer.

Sporting- as well as organisation-wise, the event set new standards and stands as further proof that masters boxing has secured its rightful place within the European boxing landscape.
