Well, this wraps up the shit storm that has been 2020, at least for the UFC. UFC probably saved 2020 for most of us, and it has been great. Dana White is my MVP for the year. He saw an opportunity in the quarantine era and started putting on cards Continue Reading
Jake’s Punch Lines UFC Vegas 17
I am back on my bullshit writing for the final card of the 2020 year. As horrible as everything was this year, I have never seen more UFC cards in my entire life. I have definitely lost a lot of motivation to write these picks with a card nearly every Continue Reading
Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC 256: Figueiredo v. Moreno
I am very excited for this card. This has some great matchups. Figueiredo making a 21 day turn around to defend his title is a baller ass move that not many champs would do, you have to wonder how two weight cuts in one month is going to affect him. Continue Reading
Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC 255
UFC 255 is probably going to be one of those pay-per-views that is forgettable, unless there is a memorable knockout. There happen to be a couple of fighters that could provide that moment for us. This card looks pretty weak, but Joaquin Buckley has one of the best knockouts we’ve Continue Reading
Jake’s Punch Lines UFC 255
Title fights!! We have title fights tonight!! Feel like it has been so long since we got to see some belts on the line, nice to have some gravity for this card. Now that I faked excitement, it does suck that neither of these matchups are sexy in the slightest. Continue Reading

Jake’s Punch Lines UFC Vegas 12
The fight that nobody really wanted is here! How else can you make watching a 44 year old Anderson Silva any worse??? By making almost every line crazy big so you can’t take any favorites and all the underdogs are crazy long shots. If Bryce Mitchell wasn’t on this card Continue Reading
Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC 254: Khabib v. Gaethje
It’s not the fight we were expecting for Khabib’s next title defense, but I really am not too upset with this matchup. It is a shame that we’ll probably never get to see Ferguson v. Khabib, yet I have a feeling this one won’t disappoint. It feels fitting to close Continue Reading
Jake’s Punch Lines UFC 254
KHABIB VS GAETHJE! KHABIB VS GAETHJE! KHABIB VS GAETHJE! We are finally here! This is all I have wanted to since I came to terms that Tony Khabib was never meant to be. This is a legacy fight. One that will be constantly brought up when talking about either guy’s Continue Reading
Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC Fight Island 5: Moraes v. Sandhagen
MAIN CARD MARLON MORAES V. CORY SANDHAGEN The winner of this fight should get an opportunity to fight the winner of Petr Yan v. Aljamain Sterling for the Bantamweight title. That’s some pretty big motivation. Moraes had a shot at the bantamweight title in June 2019, but Cejudo outlasted him. Continue Reading
