MAIN CARD PICKS TODAY
Usman DEC ๐ถ (DDP is one of my favorite fighters and itโs so hard to pick against him, but have to take bias out of this)
CLD KO
Hooper SUB ๐ณ
Tommy Guns KO (very 50/50, would bet Montes because of the odds)
Kline DEC
Wanted to give this Tommy guns fight its own tweet. I was ready to pick him, and I still will (I think), but the line has moved so much. Alberto Montes is worth a sprinkle at +150. My picks are not betting advice, and if I were a betting man, I would take Montes.
Prelim picks this weekend
Jose Delgado KO
Jean Paul Lebonoyani DEC ๐ถ
Felipe Franco DEC ๐ถ
Alden Coria DEC
Alvin Hines KO
Barbosa DEC
Ezra Elliot KO ๐ถ
Pt 3: The only top guy at 170 I could see Max beating is JDM, but JDM wonโt fight again in 2026 and Max JDM is a fight on no oneโs radar.
Max seems to be chasing money at this point begging for a trilogy with a finished Conor. Itโs weird to see his career turn like this.
Pt 2: Max fighting down at lightweight vs a guy like Ruffy is all risk no reward.
Thereโs no real contender fight at 155 for Max besides maybe Paddy, but I doubt the UFC goes that direction.
At 170, Max wants no business with the contenders. The top 5 at 170 beat Max.
Pt1: And yes, I purposely left out Max. What do you do with him?
I think lightweight should be:
Arman Gaethje
Paddy Charles
Ilia is going to be out until 2027 and those fights make sense.
I see a lot of people matchmaking Max and Ruffy. Why would Max take that?
Some more fights I want to see after 329 (losers edition)
Conor v Chandler
BSD v Fiziev
Sandhagen v Barcelos
Kavanaugh v Erceg/Temirov winner
Can matchmake some of the other losers but nothing worth talking about
Some fights I want to see next after 329 (winners edition)
Paddy v Charles
Bautista v Merab/Yan loser
Royval v Asu
Green v Hooker
Whittaker v Murzakanov
Gable v Mick Parkin
Yanez v Montel Jackson
Luke Riley v David Onama
Basharat v Zahabi
@lc2nicey Genuinely. And the question about the momentum from the White House to IFW was a good question too๐. Idk why Dana responded like such a clown
