UFC 300 PEREIRA vs HILL Early Prelims to Main Event - Quick Predict!

[@tesuser8173]

this ppv card costs us low level fight nights in the last few weeks so many big names in this ppv card, spartaaaaa ⚔️

[@spicemma]

Indeed! I wish they just evened it all out

[@diogofernandes9196]

they could have pulled 1 or 2 from 299 and 300 to at least make a couple exciting fight night main events

[@N-B-MMA]

Why does anyone give a shit about this narrative. Noone has to watch the fights. I still find them entertaining beside the terrible officiating

[@ImissGoldie]

I take that back as your an Izzy fan I love the poster on the wall ❤

[@spicemma]

Yes I love Izzy, but I also have the same last name as Sean Strickland.. so alas I am not a true Izzy fan. I was very proud to be a Strickland when Sean upset him !

[@eighthhokage91]

Wait where's the brown jacket?

[@spicemma]

😅

[@SoyDuckHot]

where have you been

[@cjgooding4512]

Wow randomly clicked on this one I made it through the whole thing. Good job on your analysis I like it!!

[@cjgooding4512]

Oh wait the event is over shiiiit

[@spicemma]

thank you - but lol you pranked me there!

[@tesuser8173]

01:02 aa ok, i was about to complain, where is the brown jacket 😂 i can't recognise you without that 😂

[@spicemma]

Ah haha i knew it was a risk 😅

[@eighthhokage91]

Also DAMN thats a good looking Izzy poster!

[@danyo6938]

Solid picks. The only pick I disagree with is Holloway vs Gaethje. This fight will be a lot closer than people think. The fight Max had with Dustin was on short notice-and he still did very good. He was even close to finishing Poirier at one point. But yes, obviously he didn't have time to fill into the weight-class, plus fighting a southpaw. Anyways, I think Holloway's pressure and volume will overwhelm Gaethje. 49-48 Holloway

[@spicemma]

True about Max in the Poirer 2 fight. I didn't realize it was short notice for Max ( that was before my time as a fan, so I missed a few outside details there ). I'm much more interested in this fight now, with many seeing Max getting this. Hell yeah!

[@SoyDuckHot]

I’m so excited! Also 3 day weekend 😍

[@SoyDuckHot]

lmao I thought this was a new video. ugh. more comments for the algorithm

[@spicemma]

LOL it's a bit like that! I posted this video earlier than usual... I'm so excited right now... Press conference hell yeah! 3 day weekend? Even better! Enjoy Bill!

[@TheSimpleverse]

Great picks Angie! Everyone is writing off Max and I understand Gaethje could very well do what he did to Ferguson, and I also think Max isn't the same Max as he was a few years ago, but if he shows up in form, I think he's gonna surprise a lot of people. He's always had one of the best chins in the game, so we'll see if it can hold up against Justin. It is a stacked card, but I thought the main event announcement didn't live up to the hype they were trying to build. Look forward to your recap 🤘

[@spicemma]

Hey Simon, thanks for dropping by. Yes everyone was saying how good Tony's chin was until he ran into Geathje. Also Max is still looking great at feather weight, which makes me wonder how the extra weight will effect him. I love Hill, but yeah the main event really needed Strickland Vs Adesanya 2 or something. Omg I'm gonna have to take notes if I'm doing a recap of all the fights! ...

Thanks heaps

What gear do you use to record?

It's Neuman mic kms 105 and a basic Alto mixing desk.

[@rodrigogois]

Let's go Angie! After 299, I'm very excited for this one. Just imagining that 2 former champions are the very first fight of the event is crazy... On the flip side, Nickal vs Brundage on the main card is just too much... But hey, not everything is perfect like your breakdown videos 😏 Have a great rest of your week!

[@spicemma]

Hey Rodrigo, thank you so much! Your comments make my day! Yes I am looking forward to Figgy opening, he's a fav of mine. I would love to know who they are catering to with the Nickal fights... maybe there must be lots of wrestling fans in america that the ufc wanna convert into mma fans. LOL I have no idea but I'd love to know. Enjoy your week too! And also enjoy this weekend of fights, take care!

[@spicemma]

you dont need height to be strong lol

[@epo-mma]

What's crazy about matchups like Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan is how the odds makers will put Oliveira at a moderate underdog, but I think 60% of people on Tapology are picking Charles to win. I wonder which will prove to be more accurate... I personally have Arman winning. I envision him scoring takedowns then pulverizing Charles from guard with ground strikes, especially elbows. But Charles has a much higher chance of getting a KO or sub, whereas Tsarukyan will likely win by decision.

[@spicemma]

But thats interesting that you still have Arman winning. I think Charles has more big fight experience, that gives him this extra super sayian like power ...lol.

[@epo-mma]

@@spicemma with each passing day, my confidence that Arman wins is diminishing... I might actually change my pick watching back their fights.

[@deannwabueze6949]

pretty much the same as my picks, as for jamahal I don't think the hook is the issue as much as the leg kick and Alex's way of throwing them with no tell. if he gets around that jamahal hill all day. (Cell Saga the best saga btw)

[@spicemma]

I was very biased in that pick I know.. LOL. I love Cell. He was my Favorite! I've watched the original dragon ball too, very fun!

[@darkrain8562]

Jiri's 31 ...what you mean jiri toward the end of his career and Rakic 32 btw

[@spicemma]

I mean from a record perspective. Jiris had double if not more pro fights than Alex

same here. It sucks a little getting old !

[@Karatetedtunesreverbnation]

I agree with all of your picks, and I am on the fence as well with many of them. I’m really liking the sound of that Neumann mic. I use that mic live doing music gigs. I also have a Neumann u87 and a m149 tube version. Whatever preamp you’re using sounds fantastic. I’m listening to your podcast in my studio using kharma reference monitors. I’ve never heard anyone use such a nice mic for a podcast and it makes a big difference. Howard stern uses a Neumann u87 , you’re better than him, so you need one too. Lol

[@spicemma]

Oh heya! I'm impressed you know ur mics. I have a vocal setting on my alto mixer thats suited for talking. Nice man, what kinda music>? I used to sing live at Jazz gigs, hence why I still have the mic. But I'm washed up now. The mic was a good investment! Thanks heaps.

[@Karatetedtunesreverbnation]

I write songs about ufc fighters. I post free on reverbnation, using the same name. Love to get your opinion of a song I wrote about alexa grasso about her father and uncle who train her. It’s a father daughter dance. Peace. Ted. Pics of gear also.

[@valkyriot]

Regarding Charles and Arman. I think Charles is the underdog because in the last fights everyone looked extremely afraid of getting in the floor with him; however, Islam as a wrestler was kinda "yo, I'm gonna actually fight the position" while Charles layed in the floor like Islam was not going for it. I think a lot of people feel that something similar can happen here, if they get to fight on the floor, Arman will fight in the floor and Charles is used to people trying to get away from him on the floor. Regardless, I'm going with Charles too. Regarding Alex and Jamahal. I don't know why, but I've got the feeling that Alex will KO Jamahal haha, I just watched all Jamahal fights and I feel that he is extremely slow, carrying a lot of power though, but slow. So Alex can get caught of course and that's it, but I don't know, I believe Alex will be able to see everything comming.

[@spicemma]

Oh yeah, I didn't think too much about Arman not being afraid of the ground game. Thats interesting... I feel like Alex is slower, but sturdier. So it's gonna be very tough is Jamahal isn't healed. It looks like I need to go back and watch some tape! Thanks for your takes.

[@valkyriot]

@@spicemma I don't know if Alex is sturdy enough, I mean, he got stunned and saved by the bell in the first fight with Israel, then he got KOed. I think that's the chance of Jamahal, I feel that he hits harder than Israel and Alex can get caught, but as I said, if you rewatch Jamahal fights, pay attention to the speed, his hands are extremely heavy, they are slow, you see them traveling, but they also feel like if there were 100kg in one single arm.

[@spicemma]

Lol okay sturdy conditioning wise but a susceptible chin. I will rewatch Jamahals fights! Thankyou

[@gronkdestroyer1531]

I just dont see Bobby winning after being badly Knocked out 3 months ago and additional back to back knockouts a bit over a year and a half ago.

[@spicemma]

Oh yes good point.. i didnt take that into account !

[@marcfrankoro]

Arman is gonna touch Charles inappropriately

[@spicemma]

lol

[@africanus2089]

What worries me about Jamahal Hill is how he fights. He's not that skillful, but he's extremely effective because he's super athletic for a LHW. He's very fast, explosive, powerful and has a decent gas tank. Nothing he does is high-level, nor does he have a deep bag of tools, but his athleticism makes him a force of nature, and he's so fun to watch. The problem though, is I'm not sure how he'll do coming off an Achilles tendon tear. There's a good chance he won't be the same athlete, and I'd rather not back Jamahal Hill for his skills. If he comes back the same way he left though, I have him beating Alex Pereira all day, especially because Pereira's chin seems a little suspect.

[@spicemma]

Oh nicely put. That elusiveness is thanks to his athleticism then rather than skill? I always thought he was super crafty too, but true a lot of that has to do with his physical gifts. Even though he's not as well rounded, I think he's super sharp and talented in a unique way. But you are right... let's hope he's "heeled" up !

[@MatthewMcRowan]

One thing he could do is stop tweeting so much and getting into random fights with fans, dude had just few fights with not so well known fighters and expect to be glorified? If he just put the phone down and get some wins rolling I'd be fan of him but as of now he is really annoying.

[@africanus2089]

@@spicemma He's definitely got some skill to back up his athleticism! But he's a lot like a Yoel Romero-esque fighter. He has just enough skill, but he's largely carried by his athleticism. So, he's more effective than almost anyone. I'd say it's similar to how Francis Ngannou was a more effective striker than, say, Alistair Overeem, but not necessarily more skillful.

[@sleepisthecousinofdeath7395]

Hill got absolutely slaughtered

[@spicemma]

yeah... he was content to be there, but not mentally ready for Pereira I think. Also the confidence of Pereira.. wow!

A WOMAN HUHHHH

😂 correcto!

[@MatthewMcRowan]

I think its Bo's fault in a way, does he really want tougher opposition? i know he has NPC personality and will not show any kind of emotion or try to callout anyone to not hurt their emotion but cmon. How much fights more until he gets ranked? We just witnessed Topuria champ arc, soon Erceg will be champ in like 10 months from debut, Bo and Usman Nurmagomedov still didn't fight ranked opponent. Shame on them really

[@MatthewMcRowan]

or Umar? whatever, either of them you know who I mean, not the Bellator one who popped for PED

[@spicemma]

I am trying to be nice, but yeah.. it seems off. He should be fighting in the regionals still with that many fights.. I'm guessing he's a big star in the US wrestling community... Bo must know he can't really take a ranked opponent. Not even GM3.. in a sense that is a bit strange considering the amount of fights/wins in ufc he has had. I'm sure he has a decent manager that is protecting him.

[@spicemma]

Umar at least is a more complete fighter but yeah I don't get it LOL

[@TWIZZY_RlCH]

max will finish gaethje with a sub🤷🏽‍♂️

[@spicemma]

that would be fun!

[@N-B-MMA]

I'm sorry but the whole justin could do to max what he did to tony is pure delusion. Is max 37 schizophrenic been dropped almost every fight and slow like Tony was? Didn't think so. Did justin do that to chandler or overhyped fiziev. What about Charles or khabib? Seems like he's really just finishing guys over the age of 34 who have slowed down or are chinny like vick and cerrone. Whatever justifies -220 I guess lol

[@spicemma]

I hope I'm wrong. Maybe I'm being a little dramatic there. I think Gaethje has a significant size and power advantage. Truth though, Max has a far greater chin than Geathje. Anything can happen, thats why we are all disillusioned about fighting. Good points!

[@N-B-MMA]

@spicemma gaethje has no size advantage and the power differential is less than the max vs poirier 2 fight. Ive done over 20 hours of tape study for this fight watching and rewatching both fighters entire filmed pro careers and my 2 biggest takeaways were justins power has been overrated because he has only knocked out older and chinny fighters and noone else. That's the truth. Second is max in the pocket is an absolute savage and has gotten sharper in the pocket over the years most people just don't engage him there. Poirier got trapped in their second fight against the cage and was starting to look like he was about to be overwhelmed but he was able to get max of him. Justins timing with the hands isn't on dustin and Max's level. I didnt see a single example over 20 fights to support that. So what does that leave us with? Kicks. The only success I could see him having is kicks but I doubt it will be enough. Max ate over 30 leg kicks from volk in the first fight but it didn't affect his movement that badly(I know justin kicks harder) but get this the 2 fights that Justin was losing the boxing exchanges in and had to revert to solely kicking the legs he was tkod both times. Does that sound like someone who should be 2-1 of an iron chin infinite cardio crisp boxing skills master of footwork max blessed holloway. I really dont think so The highlight reels are really easy to get sucked into and allow it to cause bias but I do all my tape study on mute so I'm not distracted by anything that could audibly or visually effect my perception of what is actually happening. Max is 100% on a skill level that Justin has never reached and at the ripe age of 35+ he's not going to and that's just the sad truth. People thought tony was way better than he was. He took beatings constantly just to come back and win(sound familiar here) also tony was 37 when he fought justin and still almost finished him. If anything I see this being a very sad night for gaethje fans and bettors because if he doesnt knock max out in 2 rnds or less he's going to lose the battle of attrition for the 5th time in the ufc

[@spicemma]

wow! well I don't do 20 hours of tape study each fight... so I am even more interested to see how Max does now.. Thanks for your insights! You should be breaking down these fights on youtube ( if you are not already ) Amazing!

[@N-B-MMA]

​@@spicemmaI hope you see it clearly now. Max is an absolute savage in the pocket!

[@cacococama2984]

Just say that you think Alex Pereira is a fraud, according to you the guy has no merit, he lost against Jan, Jiri was robbed with a bad stoppage and if he wins against Hill it will be because of the injury, because if Hill was 100% he would win "all day".
