The first title fight of 2021 is here and it should be a good one. Granted, when I was told this PPV was being main evented by former teammates, I was hoping it was Colby v. Jorge. That is the battle of former teammates I want to see. This one Continue Reading
UFC Vegas 17: Wonderboy v. Geoff Neal
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

Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC Vegas 9: Overeem v. Sakai
This card has all the downsides of the Rona era of UFC. A lot of matchups of people you’ve never heard of. Not many ranked guys or fights that mean anything for title shots. The main event barely scratches title contention. The card has been devastated by pull outs. Two Continue Reading
Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC Vegas 8: Smith v. Rakic
MAIN CARD ANTHONY SMITH V. ALEKSANDAR RAKIC This will be a violent main event that most likely won’t go to the judges. There is not much more we can ask for. Even better, it’s a 3 round main event. I’m not going to lie, I hate 5 round main events Continue Reading
Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC 252: Stipe Miocic v. Daniel Cormier III
The trilogy that we never realized we needed. I am still dying for Conor v. Nate III, but for now Stipe v. DC III will suffice. It is nice that DC was able to get out of Jon Jones’ shadow. At least for me, I am sure a lot of Continue Reading
Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC Vegas 6: Lewis v. Oleinik
Here we are, another Derrick Lewis fight night. I am late here, but I am just as excited to watch the Black Beast fight. I truly hope he wins so we can get another epic post fight speech from him. Here are my picks for the fights. MAIN CARD DERRICK Continue Reading
Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC Vegas 5: Shahbazyan v. Brunson
Fight Island was fun, but this Saturday marks the return to the Apex, and that means the return of the smaller octagon. Oh hell yes. The small octagon is awesome and there should be a lot of finishes on this card. This card is packed with a lot of entertaining Continue Reading
Jake’s Punch Lines UFC Vegas 5
The last Saturday before a week off of fights (not counting DWCS) so lets make it count! I am going to be perfectly honest, I only picked 2 underdogs on this whole card. I studied hard, looked into every damn matchup, and there are only 2 underdogs I feel like Continue Reading
Evan’s Educated Guesses: UFC Vegas 4
MAIN CARD DUSTIN POIRIER V. DAN HOOKER This fight has fight of the year contender written all over it. These two guys that love to stand and trade and have a brawl. Poirier is looking to rebound from his September 2019 2nd round submission loss in the title fight to Continue Reading
