Looking ahead, fight fans are about to sink our teeth into twelve straight weeks of UFC action.
To kick off the month, a Saudi card that absolutely rails the PPV in Sydney the following week. Don’t bother setting alarms for this one. It’s a have in the background at kick ons or watch the replay when you get up sort of event.
$1.60 Adesanya (ABT) V Imavov (TBN) $2.35
The main event looks to be a good one, Aussie Bottom Team's first pick against the sniper drafted by The Bustanutters. Expecting some point fighting and a good test of where Adesanya is at.
$1.57 Magomedov (DR) V MVP $2.45
Dangerous Rangerous starting the season with some early bookings, his Dagestani one eyed warrior doesn’t fight anywhere but Saudi Arabia so it is important to get results. Possible bonus for Bullet? Will coaches regret passing on MVP?
$1.32 Pavlovich (ABT) V Rosenstruik (DR) $3.45
Both teams second fight on the card, Pavlovich looks to be the better fighter, chance this one is done early.
$1.62 Nurmagomedov (DSB) V Oliviera (DR) $2.30
Khabib V Do Bronx from Temu, think the underdog is a chance in this one, should be a decent scrap.
$2.90 Bueno Silva (BRESRE) V Jasduvicius $1.42
MBS on a skid, Jasduvicius on a streak, could MBS going back down in weight class be a good move?
$1.30 Gaziev (DSB) V Peterson $3.6
Could be pretty hard to watch this one, either Gaziev catches him early or we see two big, hairy dudes sweat it out for a decision.
If I hadn’t dropped a holiday to Bali with a villa and a private chef's worth of cash on tickets to the PPV, Methstreams would be getting its work cut out for this one.
$1.48 Du Plessis (MBWH) V Strickland (BRESRE) $2.70
Newcomers to the league battling it out for a very important title fight. DDP trying to defend again and the fight was extremely close 12 months ago. Big stakes on the season.
$1.65 Weili (SREBRE) V Suarez (DR) $2.25
Don’t mind the underdog in this one if she gets through fighting fit. Although a win for Weili and she would have to be thinking what’s next. A potential move up if she wins easily?
$2.65 Jenkins (DSB) V Santos $1.50
One of the only exciting local fighters on the card has a chance to win as a big underdog, the deputy commissioner may be laying some chalk on Jenkins in this one.
A fight cancellation for Rinat Fakheritdinov will hurt Dangerous Rangerous who was favoured in his matchup on this card. Fakheritdinov has picked up an undisclosed injury.
Just Bleed joins the action with Youssef Zalal going up against Calvin Kattar, who is a perfect name fight for the prospect.
My Balls Was Hot will have Cavalcanti who was taken straight off the commissioners draft board, will be interesting to see how she fairs and if MBWH will appreciate the help, or go alone next year.
A double for Dropkick Murphys, trying to earn some respect from rivals this year, going pretty early on Hernandez hoping that he walks through Allen while Chiasson will take on Bustanutters pick Viera in what looks to be a pretty interesting fight.
Just Bleed dug through the roster to pick up highly touted prospect Jean Silva in a big fight to keep things moving for the team.
Look forward to the end of the month again to see where things stand. A month is a long time in UFFC.
Signing off, Deputy Commissioner, Joel Murphy.
