UFC 261 Breakdown!

MAIN CARD

• Kamaru Usman vs. Jorge Masvidal TITLE FIGHT- Main Event time!!! Usman has been an killer man oh man. Masividal has had an full camp and beyond ready for this fight now that this isn’t the same as last time they fought. Masividal is ready 110 percent. Usman though has been on a different level coming into this fight. The jab is there and is so powerful. This fight is unspeakable an amazing fight overall. To me, give me Masvidal who is over the top ready.

• Zhang Weili vs. Rose Namajunas TITLE FIGHT- Thug time! Rose is an excellent striker that is amazing. The striking is so pin pointed on target. Mentally though she is so up and down that it is hard to trust. Zhang is an hell of an killer who wants the belt. She is so well rounded and so on point in her fights. The mental game is undoubtedly there for her. Rose can fade in the later rounds because this is an 5 round fight. I want all of Zhang here!

• Valentina Shevchenko vs. Jessica Andrade TITLE FIGHT- Big fight! Shev can come into this fight and knockout Andrade here. This is an huge bounce back fight for Schev here. She is an huge striker and well rounded by far. Andrade can strike or slam anyone in the UFC like wow. Shev I just think is the more ready to go fighter here.

• Uriah Hall vs. Chris Weidman- Here we goooo! Weidman the veteran and has had some amazing wins throughout his career. Hall is an huge striking and can come into this fight striking in all formats.The spinning kicks are unreal. The line between the two is even. Weidman can get it done here and grappling wise is there. Weidman can make Hall lose his gas tank through the rounds.

• Anthony Smith vs. Jim Crute- Brute vs Lionheart! Crute striking has been looking so amazing while grappling is there, he is so well rounded overall. Crute can push this match and get aggressive. Smith has great punching format but not compared to Crute. Smith also with his gas tank isn’t there and I don’t like that he slows down in fights.

UNDERCARD

• Alex Oliveira vs. Randy Brown- Hell of an fight! Exciting overall! Brown has an great reach advantage and aggressive. Brown has good striking and the grappling on the ground is there. Oliveira is super inconsistent which scares me, one fight he is there and the next he is not mentally there. Cowboy can hurt Brown in the striking aspect if he clips but I think Brown is way more polished right now. Give me Brown here.

• Dwight Grant vs. Stefan Sekulic- Here we go! Grant is an fighter who brings the fire in the fights. Grant is super aggressive and has great footwork overall. Sekulic didn’t look great in the UFC debut and got exposed on the ground a ton. I think Grant can handle this fight with ease in all formats.

• Karl Roberson vs. Brendan Allen- Middleweight time! Both guys coming off big loses but this is an good fight overall. Allen has been up and down which this fight is an step up for sure. Roberson got exposed on the ground in the Vettori fight which Allen is going to go there nonstop. Allen Is an heck of an grappler while Roberson should strike him easily. It is an fight of two tales. I think Allen can win this fight.

• Tristan Connelly vs Pat Sabatini- Interesting fight overall. Connelly is the older fighter while Sab is the younger wrestler. Sab is an heck of an grappler where his game is mainly at. Connelly knows the mat well also but Sab is the bigger monster there. I like Sab here to take control of this fight. Sab arm was dislocated in the UFC which I am not looking at that flight, the last two though he has looLed great. Sab time!

• Danaa Batgerel vs. Kevin Natividad- Very awesome fight. Fight of the fight written all over it. Batgerel will get in your face and has an powerful striking. Natividad has an awful chin which scares me. This will be an striking festival and two guys who will strike non stop. I like Batgerel and the hot win he is on is why I like him slightly more.

• Kazula Vargas vs. Zhu Rong- Good good good fight overall to me. Rong has an ton on of talent as an young fighter prospect. He is 21 and has 20 fights under his belt like wow. Vargas is no pushover though and has moments of upside. Vargas though with the knee he had against Weaver was scary that took him out of an DQ match. I am all over Rong here.

• Qileng Aori vs. Jeffrey Molina- Here we go. Molina has great training guys and is training with Krause so an huge step in his camp that I like. Aori has good fights and the flying knee he can have is amazing. The striking is there but keeps his hands all over the place. Molina is an well rounded fighter and polished overall. I like both sides of these guys. Such another close and good fight. I like the striking and camp more in Molina but wouldn’t be surprised if Aori chin checks Molina.

• Na Liang vs. Ariane Carnelossi- Not an bad fight. Carnelossi made her debut against Hill. She is physical and has power in her hands. Liang aka Dragon girl has a ton of power while her grappling is actually pretty good. She has the big reach advantage her. She is also coming off an 4 fight win streak. I like this fight overall to me. To me, this is an close fight and coin flip to me.
