Dana White is dumb af he doesn't immediately cut Almeida.

As dumb as I am for constantly betting on him lol.

You and me both. I had > 50% in DFS.

Same .

At the moment 0 titleflights booked.

It does seem like the WH card is gonna be stacked with 4-5 title fights given how it is shaking out

1 on the april card, 1 on the may card and almost every other title is live to be defended on the WH card

Just like that, Alemeida is out of the UFC.

Good riddance.

I don't know what the White House card is going to look like besides Ilia/Gaethje. Maybe they bring back Connor, but against who? Meh. Also looks like Jiri/Ulberg for LW Title, and Gane/Poatan for the HW title on separate cards.

Ilia/Gaethje - I think Ilia knocks him out, but I'd love to see this go into the 3rd round and beyond. It will be interesting to watch for the fans.
Jiri/Ulberg - I think Ulberg takes it but Jiri is so damn fun to watch
Poatan/Gane - I am not sure how this plays out. I guess I am rooting for Poatan by KO, but this will be another fun one.

I do hope Pereira moves up to HW and that Gable Steveson makes a UFC debut soon as to instil some form of life into the HW division!!!

Since I’ll be in Vegas during UFC 326 I’m thinking about seeing my first event in person, even though the card looks a little meh to me.

What’s my best approach for tickets? Buying it off Ticketmaster etc or going to the arena and trying my luck there through a scalper? Thx

Supposedly it's going to be Jiri/Khaz at 327 in Miami.

I just started watching the series Anderson Spider Silva now that it has been added to Paramount ; a decent overall series, and definitely worth a watch for any UFC lover, of course

And I bet Halloway money line this WE, albeit I hesitated before doing so, but trusted the (strong) opinion of the MMA Fighting betting podcast!

Excited for some of these fights

If I had to pick

Max TKO
No idea what to expect for Caio/RDR, maybe RDR decision?

Also, future title fights seem to be fluid, and I guess they're announcing the WH card tonight, or some of it.

The way the talks seem to be going, seems to be

Poatan/JJones
Ilia/Islam, maybe? Not sure if timing works out given Ramadan.

Two amazing fights, but who knows.

I'm leaning towards Brunno with the upset over Robocop.

I wouldn’t call that an upset . He already has a win vs him .

oh lol good to know

He knocked out Rodriguez a few years ago . I still think robocop wins though .

Good ole blacked out screen as the third event of the main event starts.

I thought the White House card was meant to be stacked!

Apart from the co-main and main event, the rest of the fights aren't really very interesting.

Gane is the natural heavyweight and has experience of the division. In terms of striking, he's got some Muay Thai background - probably not the same level as Alex.

Gane does have a bit of ground game with a few submissions on his record. You'd expect he worked on it a lot for the Aspinall fight. We haven't really seen Pereira's ground game at all to know if he has one. He does work with Glover so maybe he's not completely useless when he gets dumped on his back.

Gane was looking good against Aspinall as well. Really does depend on whether Pereira's power can translate to heavyweight.

Thx for the answer! I am already shifting from Pereira to Gane after giving it some thought and visiting some of Gane's previous fights...

Don't forget that Adesanya knocked out Pereira. Adesanya is a bag of bones and these heavyweights carry more power.

For sure, but there is a lot of context behind that KO : it was his first lost vs Adesanya in 4 bouts and after dominating in that fight as well. Pereira was cutting 40lbs+, which will obviously affect his chin and he walks around heavier nowadays as well.

I am going back and forth on this fight and am not sure on whom to bet... So I will let the betting line move around and listen to prediction podcasts before betting, namely MMA Fighting
