UFC 269 results & discussion

You could be right. That was his downfall against Aldo and Edgar. But he’s tough and puts lots of pressure on people. I don’t think Dom has the speed or cardio to have the same success his style has brought him over the years. He nearly lost his last fight and I just have a feeling he’s gonna catch the L hard this time. Sorry about your financial loss, my fren.

Well how else would he win?

Haha let’s see he’s an old horse but I think he has enough left for someone mid-high level like Muñoz. He beat this Casey guy not too long ago too.

Yeah, that’s why I think he loses tonight. That was a close one and there were a few points where he had to resort to trading if I recall correctly. He can’t trade with Pedro. It should be a great fight to watch either way though.

I think Dom is starting to look old watching him hit pads on embedded. Looks to have lost some of that fast twitch and the hands aren’t coming back up. I’ll just be an observer of that one.
Man Dustin sure does hold that champ energy well. I think Charles will be too fast and sharp but it’s really hard betting against Dustin and his experience. Still going Charles.
Bets locked in so far Charles, Emmett and ponzi.

I’m pulling for Charles.

I really don’t like the idea of having a champ that got smashed by the now retired champ. It devalues the belt.

I really want Charles to win, sure Dustin is a great guy, but I think if Charles is in charge of the division, there are a lot of fun match ups to make

Doesn’t matter. Khabib woulda smashed Charles too. And it doesn’t matter who wins this fight or the next fight with Justin either because they will all lose to Islam next year lol

Possibly, Josh Thompson said Islam is stronger than Khabib. That’s quite the statement. He trained with both I believe.

I’m rooting for Charles as well. But if I had to bet I’d pick Poirier.

I’d love to see Charles win and I’m sure it will itch at Khabib lol

Josh has hyped the hell out of Islam. He’s stronger, faster, better technique, etc etc. BUT all that matters is IF he can do it in the Octagon. So far he’s looked good but training cannot compare to competition or else Mike Pyle would have been UFC champ.

Got maney on Poirier at -130 and Tuivasa -110 , I think these are solid

Thinking about putting cash on
Bruno Silva
Tai Tuivasa
Dominick Cruz
Josh Emmett

Amanda nunes is -900 so there’s no value there but I might parlay it with an upset to see how the odds look

I’m shocked Oliveria is the underdog in this fight. He seems more well-rounded and skilled than Porier, who’s a great fighter but slightly below Oliveria imo.
