What to Expect from Usman vs. Edwards 2 at UFC 278

Posted on June 27, 2022 by A. J. Riot

The UFC is heading to Salt Lake City in August, where the main event will decide who will take the title of welterweight champion. Announced during UFC 275, fans will be treated to a rematch between champion Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards.

The two first met back in December 2015, when Usman scored a comprehensive victory through a unanimous decision. Since then, both fighters have been on a tear: Usman has the second-longest win streak in UFC history with 15, while Edwards is unbeaten in his last ten bouts, not losing since his fight with the man he faces at UFC 278. In the classic tale of the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object, something has to give when these two titans of the sport meet.

A Jon Jones Return Gets Closer

Posted on June 22, 2022 by A. J. Riot

The venue for Jones’ Return?

Jon ‘Bones‘ Jones is undoubtedly one of, if not the greatest fighters to step foot in the octagon. He is also one of the most controversial. That is why the promotion, and the millions of fight fans around the world, are so desperate that the long-running saga of his return finally comes into being. The good news is, that it looks a step closer, with former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic looking like the man in the opposite corner. Jones will enter the Octagon as the heavy favorite, but there are a lot of unknowns with this fight. Those unknowns will very likely see punters using any free offers to take advantage of the unprecedented long odds for the Ohio firefighter.

State of UFC’s Light Heavyweight Division

Posted on June 20, 2022 by Oleg

It has been over two years since the long reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones stepped away from the sport and relinquished his title. Since then, the division has been in turmoil. The title belt has already been passed through three sets of hands – a similar state of affairs to what the division went through in the period between Chuck Liddell losing the title and Jones finding his way to the top. It may be a while before we have another dominant champion at 205 lbs. If you are a bettor, this could mean some unpredictable results, but if you have a knack for predicting fights, you can try your luck betting on UFC with crypto at Cloudbet. In the meantime, let’s look at the current top fighters in the division, and their prospects in the near future.

[#1] (C) Jiri Prochazka

The current UFC champion hails from Czech Republic and holds a record of 29-3-1, with only one of his fights going to a decision. Prochazka has a wild, aggressive fighting style. This generally leads to exciting fights and earned Jiri a title shot in his third fight with the promotion, after scoring knockouts over Volkan Oezdemir and Dominick Reyes. Prochazka was in some trouble in a war with the previous champ Glover Teixeira, but against all odds managed to submit Glover with a rear naked choke in the last minute of the fight. Jiri’s offense-heavy style may ultimately cost him the title but he is sure to deliver enterntaiment while on top. Prochazka expressed interest in facing Jan or rematching Teixeira for his first defense.
