UFC 280: Charles Oliveira’s march from unfancied journeyman to the summit of the lightweight division

Posted on October 20, 2022 by A. J. Riot

The resurgence of Charles Oliveira is something that has taken everyone by surprise. Five years ago, it looked like his spell with the UFC was drawing to a close following a TKO defeat to Paul Felder, his fourth defeat in his last six fights.

Since then, however, Do Bronx has embarked on an 11-fight win streak, finishing three and defeating one of the greatest fighters the division has ever seen.

The streak led him on a path to the UFC Lightweight Championship, yet he was stripped of the gold at UFC 274 as he failed to make weight (and thus forfeited the championship).

At UFC 280, he has a chance to regain the title he never actually lost in Abu Dhabi. The only thing that stands in his way? Khabib Nurmagomedov’s esteemed training partner turned understudy Islam Makhachev.

In a match between two great technical fighters, a well-timed or lucky punch during a momentary lapse in focus can easily send one boxer sprawling to the mat unconscious.

How to Learn to Predict the Outcome of UFC Fights Using Machine Learning

Posted on October 15, 2022 by Diane Sherron

Trying to predict the outcome is an integral part of sports. Everyone tries to guess the winner, be it for fun or gambling. Calling the winner is especially tough in combat sports, where everything can turn around in a split second – your guy can be dominating

the opponent for three straight rounds only to get knocked out the next second. Clearly, humans are ill-equipped for making complex predictions; some outside help is in order.

Their superhuman processing power gives computers a demonstrable analytic edge and makes them far more accurate predictors than puny humans. With the computing power of a million human brains, AIs can extrapolate seemingly chaotic and unfathomable things like future weather. In this article, we have concerned ourselves with the possibility of using AI machine learning to reliably predict the outcome of UFC fights.

What is NFT?

Posted on October 14, 2022 by A. J. Riot

The card that allows you to meet Khabib is now costing $330,000!

Explain what the NFT even means?!

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) is a virtual item in blockchain or a non-fungible token. In simple words: it is a unique “code” that confirms your right to own a certain digital asset.

To make a rough analogy, it is similar to the CVV code on your bank card, even a virtual one. It’s just your card, although you can generally draw the same one. In the same way, an NFT token secures your ownership of the product you purchased. It is the virtual version or copy.

The code cannot be faked or stolen and is saved on blockchain platforms. This does not mean that the same picture cannot be drawn – it is possible, and there have even been cases of successful NFT token faking. However, the original is still the original.

Are These the Greatest Muay Thai Fighters in UFC History?

Posted on October 12, 2022 by A. J. Riot

These fighters have put in the training to excel at Muay Thai

There’s been many fighting styles that have been utilized successfully in the UFC since its inception in 1993. After all, that’s why the combat sport it involves is known as mixed martial arts, because it’s a real melting pot of fighting styles from all around the globe. Just some of the most notable are the striking power of boxing, the grappling of wrestling, and the takedowns of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Another of the mainstays is muay Thai, which is referred to as the ‘art of eight limbs’, and that’s not because it’s only practiced by octopuses. It uses fists, elbows, knees and shins to inflict devastating damage on an opponent. Despite being known in its birthplace, Thailand, for hundreds of years, the martial art only really gained recognition in the Western world in the late 1980’s. This was mainly thanks to movies like 1989’s Kickboxer, which starred ‘The Muscles from Brussels’, Jean-Claude Van Damme.

It’s been used in the octagon by some truly incredible competitors down the years, so let’s have a look at our top picks for the greatest muay Thai fighters in UFC history.

9 Reasons Why MMA Is Better Than Boxing

Posted on October 12, 2022 by A. J. Riot

Even historically speaking, MMA predates boxing by quite a bit of time. MMA fighting took birth during the Greek era, sometime around 648 BCE. In fact, MMA was one of the competitive sports played during the ancient Olympic games, a tradition of combat sports that sportstv continues to celebrate and cover with in-depth analysis and updates. While boxing as a sport only came into proper existence sometime around the 16th century. So, in some ways, the recent popularity of MMA fighting sports is also a resurgence of what combat sports once looked like.
