UFC 280: What to Expect

Posted on September 13, 2022 by A. J. Riot

UFC 280 takes place on the 22nd of October with Charles Oliveira fighting against Islam Makhachev for the vacant lightweight title headlines the event. Oliveira will be desperate to win the title he formerly held, which he lost prior to UFC 274 after he failed to lose enough weight to face Justin Gaethje.

Oliveira is arguably the strongest fighter in the lightweight division, the fighter that joined the UFC after training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has a record of 10 UFC submissions.

Russian Makhachev is seen by many as an underdog for the bout as the title is only vacant due to Oliveira missing weight by half a pound and many still see the Brazilian as the title holder, but the UFC has not been shy of surprising winners in its past few years. Some believe he could be the next Khabib Nurmagomedov due to his wrestling fighting style, however, he has not recorded many finishes throughout his career and his fighting CV simply does not compare to the Brazilian’s.

What do the early odds reveal about a blockbuster fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua?

Posted on September 13, 2022 by A. J. Riot

The road back to the summit of professional heavyweight boxing for Anthony Joshua appeared to be a long and winding one after losing to Oleksandr Usyk. It was, after all, Joshua’s second loss to the Ukrainian in as many fights. Furthermore, following a questionable reaction to the judges’ decision to award Usyk a split decision win, it was hard to picture the Englishman in the ring anytime soon. Indeed, Joshua’s stock had plummeted to an all-time low and the future looked uncertain. That was until Tyson Fury handed Joshua the chance to return to the top of the sport.
Boxing is, of course, a game of smoke and mirrors with callouts often designed to raise the profile of an individual’s career rather than being consistently genuine. However, in this case, a fight between the Brits looks to be extremely likely after Fury’s callout given that the latest betting UK boxing odds have already given both fighters a price, with Fury at 1/4 and Joshua further out at 11/4.
Unsurprisingly, the most recent sports predictions pieces have thrown their weight behind Fury who is still undefeated in his career. In some respects though, the odds make for curious reading given the evident gulf in class between the two boxers that has been proven beyond doubt over the last few years.

— TYSON FURY (@Tyson_Fury) September 5, 2022

At least, Joshua’s odds of 11/4 don’t necessarily indicate that he has a mountain to climb whilst the reality is that Fury would be the trickiest opponent of his career so far. Yes, that price makes Joshua the outsider but after the last 36 months that the Watford-born fighter has had, you would expect them to be considerably longer. Indeed, losses to Andy Ruiz Jr and Usyk have illustrated that Joshua has very real and exploitable weaknesses which Fury should be able to play on at will.
To a certain extent, Fury’s odds of 1/4 back that up but there is little doubt that the boxing markets are adjusting their prices accordingly to accommodate the Englishman’s inactivity given what it could mean on the night against Joshua who has remained active.
Admittedly, Fury has, with the help of his social media channels, presented an image of a fighter who regularly trains despite announcing his retirement after beating Dillian Whyte in April. There is, however, a distinct difference between being in a legitimate training camp in the lead-up to a fight and creating humorous content from the gym every few days for one’s followers.

Note to self : I got to work harder pic.twitter.com/etUMTPvsp3

— Anthony Joshua (@anthonyjoshua) September 2, 2022

This is where it gets interesting as the odds, as initially alluded to, have just about kept Joshua in the contest as 11/4. These prices could change as the fight, which will be potentially scheduled for the end of the year, gets nearer, but you imagine that for them to do that, Fury would have to be put through his paces during an arduous training camp.

In reality, it will come down to whether a somewhat inactive Fury can beat a faltering Joshua who will, intriguingly, be fitter. When everything is added up, this may not be as clear-cut as the boxing community is making it out to be with the odds leaving the door ajar for an upset.

Upcoming MMA preview

Posted on September 1, 2022 by A. J. Riot

Take a look at UFC predictions for UFC Paris on September 3.

The MMA world leader returns after a week and makes their debut at the home of democracy. This card features Ciryl Gane (the nation’s most significant export in MMA) as he takes on Tai Tuivasa, a matchup that has significant implications for the top heavyweight.

Co-main event: Former middleweight king Robert Whittaker takes on Marvin Vettori, a challenger to the division title.

It also features the return of Octagon veterans Joaquin Buckley and Nassourdine Imavov. Let’s take a look and predict the winners of four essential bouts on this card from Neds.

UFC predictions: UFC Paris fighters will get W’s on Sept. 3

Ciryl Gane (10-1) vs. Tai Tuivasa (14-3)

Gane vs. Tuivasa will clash between two top-five UFC heavyweight ranking competitors. This matchup also showcases the youth movement at the top of the division. This matchup is unique because it features two highly skilled strikers who have achieved great success in different ways.

This booking will ask if Tuivasa can use his brawling style effectively enough to avoid surgically dismantled and resuscitated by “Bon Gamin.” Many have tried, but none have succeeded. Tuivasa will be joining that group.

Robert Whittaker (23-6) vs. Marvin Vettori (18-5-1)

Robert Whittaker is in a difficult spot. After two losses to the current division king Israel Adesanya, Whittaker is an elite fighter of 185 pounds. He will not be able to win another title in the next few years. He still hopes Adesanya will fall from grace, but he is fighting the best in the division.

Whittaker will be facing Vettori in a grappling match that will test his skills and will be a tough challenge for “Bobby Knuckles.” But Whittaker is a well-rounded fighter and will be ready for any challenge the Italians may throw him.

Joaquin Buckley (15-4) vs. Nassourdine Iavov (11-3).

Imavov will be able to receive loud applause from his fellow countrymen and women at fight night. After a solid 3-1 start in his UFC career, Imavov is now the favorite sentimentally. Buckley will not be able to win. As he tries to win a decision, Buckley will likely use a full MMA attack to counter his opponent’s explosive strikes and keep him off balance.

Charles Jourdain (13-5-1) vs. Nathaniel Wood (18-5)

Charles Jourdain against Nathaniel Wood is an excellent fight that most people will overlook. These two 20-somethings have won finishes in well over 75% of their wins, and they are both solid prospects at featherweight.

It is now a question of who is better. Jourdain is currently coming off a loss but still managed a strong performance in a majority loss to Shane Burgos. Wood won a crucial victory over Charles Rosa in July in the United Kingdom. Although it’s a pick-em match, Jourdain appears to have become a more formidable prospect in the past two years.
