UFC Fight Night: Perez vs. Taira Full Card Preview and Predictions

[@frankvitulli1921]

The UFC matchmakers would not have given Taira this match unless they were confident in his ability to beat Perez, an aging vet with some momentum. This fight is designed to move Taira up the rankings, which is exactly what the UFC wants for the Japanese market. Mokaev looked a bit flat in the fight against Perez. Nicolau is chinny AF. I think, therefor, that Perez is a bit overrated and we're buying low on Taira here. But WTFDIK?

Thanks for being early 🎉

Artem brotha please do video for chimaev vs Whittaker card.

[@artem_mma]

Will do closer to the card:)

Polastri is a striker. She fought Jasudavicius (a weight bully) up a weight class and started to come back in that fight. Just saying

[@artem_mma]

hmm to be honest I do think Knutsson is really good. has all the talent just frustrating to watch

[@RICO_-is2pb]

I just commented, polastri a striker that can mix it up and stay in her face, knuttson will have the speed advantage and that’s why she will win but it will be competitive

[@frankvitulli1921]

Did you see the weigh ins? Quinlan looks like he is back on the juice.

[@artem_mma]

Could change things. That was big reason for me picking Fuggitt as the guy who fought in the last 2 fights was not the same Quinlan that was KOing everyone on the way up

[@KimboSurprise]

Thanks Artem 👊

[@ColtxHD]

Cannonier tko ripped me of 4k off 150 RIP. So happy for Dominick as well

[@marthoTT]

@iMMACASUAL_lesson I have learned, pretty much always cash out before the main event if it’s the last thing in your parlay. Also I hit Imavov by TKO/KO in round 4, and also a parlay of Reyes to land most strikes and win, and Imavov to land most strikes & sig strikes, win by TKO/KO, and over 1.5 rounds

[@RICO_-is2pb]

@@marthoTTwhy would you do that and not hedge 😂😂😂

[@marthoTT]

@@RICO_-is2pb I usually partially cash out, unless I’m pretty confident in the last part of my bet. So I let part of it run, take part of my winnings. But yeah, sometimes I do, it just depends on the night

[@artem_mma]

Taira got so much aura though

[@CreoWRLD]

You're a G for doing these early predictions, I got Tagir, Ikram and Asu in my parlay

[@DaBookiemanbets]

ASU and tiara

[@RealSportsBetPicks]

All in on Taira ThE line was -160

[@ZKurbonov]

@@CreoWRLDThanks for sharing, I wanna select the same parlay, which application you use for betting? I didn’t see such parlay option via Draft Kings

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

Taira is one of the few given a giant opportunity to leap frog 7 or 8, to jump from the bottom of Top 15 to #5. If he could do it, you know he's the real deal. Given Pantoja has defeated so many of the Top 10, if the green 24 year-old Taira could beat the very skilled & tough veteran Alex Perez, he may not need more than one more fight/win at the Top 5 to fight for the belt. Around 25 years of age, that'd would be awesome. Unfortunately, great as Taira's ground game is, his stand-up is a bit iffy. Of the few top Japanese prospects, I had though Rinya Nakamura, 29 --- who's much more developed in the stand-up, an actual elite wrestler/Judo/Greco with the strength & timing --- was going to have a chance to become Top 5 first. But here, Taira is being given the opportunity first, from #13. Nakamura's outside of the Top 15; but again, the 135pounder is way more polished than the awkward stand-up, BJJ specialist Tatsuro Taira...

[@frankvitulli1921]

Fernandes is a fish off her back. If Carli gets her down, she'll win.

[@ichiban2911]

I could’ve made $1k off 10 dollars but the stupid ass ref didn’t want to end the Punahele vs Baeza fight, Baeza was clearly done dude could barely get up after round 1 smh.

[@MrSwerve]

I like Shayilan Nuerdanbieke as dog to win. think he knocks out Melk Cauthy. If he doesn't gass out and keeps it on the feet, he's live for a KO. Nate Maness and Ikram should be free legs on your parlays....this is UFC though....

[@RICO_-is2pb]

He will win a decision if he wins

[@tlb963]

I feel like people seem to forget that polastri was also a complete axe murderer in that contender series fight. Just wailing on her opponent on the feet

[@BPchadlite]

Josh Quinlan, Joshua Culibao, Joshua Van, Tyson Nam and like three other ufc fighters are all just the same person to me

[@HuevosMMA]

That’s called racism

[@BPchadlite]

@@HuevosMMA Racism would be throwing in tatsuro tiara and the Indonesian bloke. This is being confused by seven people who are almost all called Josh and give raised in Hawaii vibes

[@HuevosMMA]

@@BPchadlite I’m just messing with you, they are all Asian/ Pacific Islanders though.

Do you think that derek lewis and Rosenstuck get confused when they see each other?

Also, I have seen that Kai Asakura is officially signed to the UFC now, wanted to know if you had seen that

[@artem_mma]

yes seen that. Alex Behunin reported UFC are looking for a top 5 oppoennt for him. could be cejudo or yan. Would like to see UFC have him main event in Japan that would be cool

[@artem_mma]

I had picks up for the last ufc card but they weren't very good lol

@@artem_mma oh okay I didn’t see it then bro sorry thought you didn’t upload last week,don’t worry brother we’re coming back stronger this week🙌🏼

[@Clim_Fandango]

​@artem_mma I mean with multiple robberies you didn't really have a bad card tbh

[@jumbroni6014]

I honestly can't believe you said Jose Johnson is 6feet tall. Be better!!!

[@qyi4009]

Sad to see Ratdke loose today, his only other loss by TKO was with shots to the body as well, something to note for the future. The victory was never written for VFS but we will come back stronger. Inshallah, in 7 weeks Belal Muhammad because welterweight champion of the world.
