UFC Fight Night 124 – Kamaru Usman Vs. Emil Meek Predictions

Kamaru Usman is a strong contender and might just be the most confident fighter at the Scottrade Center on Sunday when UFC Fight Night 124 will unfold. To what does he owe the confidence?

Kamaru Usman is a strong contender and might just be the most confident fighter at the Scottrade Center on Sunday when UFC Fight Night 124 will unfold. To what does he owe the confidence? Well, for starters, his record currently is 11 wins and just one loss. His last ten fights have all been victories and he is looking pretty close to unstoppable at this point. In fact, his only loss came back in the year 2013 against Jose Caceres. His most recent fight was a flamboyant first round knockout. Most of his wins are not scrape throughs, in fact, he is known for his dominating style and brute force.

On paper, Usman has only one victory via submission and this may lead you to believe that being on the floor is not really his forte, however, the numbers are a bit misleading and Usman is actually a good grappler, it is just that he usually does not get into that situation and is able to finish his opponents of in other ways.

Emil Meek’s record is not shabby either. He has 9 wins to his name, 2 ties, and 1 loss. Like Usman, Meek is good at knocking opponents out. Over a third of his victories have been courtesy of knockouts and his last four fights have all been solid victories.

For our prediction, it is hard not to root for the favorite here. Usman is just too strong of a force for Meek to reckon with.

UFC Fight Night 214 – Paige Van Zant Vs. Jessica-Rose Clark Predictions

UFC Fight Night 124 takes place on Sunday Jan. 14 at the Scottrade Center. This event is a highly anticipated one and the fight card is looking tempting to say the least. While the men’s fights are creating a lot of noise, you can rest assured that the female fighters have a show to put […]

UFC Fight Night 124 takes place on Sunday Jan. 14 at the Scottrade Center. This event is a highly anticipated one and the fight card is looking tempting to say the least. While the men’s fights are creating a lot of noise, you can rest assured that the female fighters have a show to put up of their own. Paige Van Zant will take on Jessica Rose – Clark in what is set to be a highly competitive, ruthless bout.

Van Zant goes into this fight with a decent record of 7 wins and 3 losses. Nearly half of her victories have come courtesy of unanimous decisions. Her recent form has been confidence inspiring as she has won the 5 of her last 7 competitive fights in the UFC. However, her most recent fight did not quite go as well as she would have hoped and she was beaten by Michelle Waterson back in 2016. Therein lies her next issue – she has not fought since December of 2016. She was scheduled to come up against Jessica Eye, but that fight was cancelled due back injury and some other unexplained reasons. This is VanZant’s first competitive fight in the state of Missouri.

Her opponent on UFC fight night 124 is going to be Jessy Rose-Clark who currently has 8 wins and 4 losses to her name. Clark is an excellent athlete and very good at takedowns. Her 7 victories have included couple of knockouts and couple of submissions.

For our prediction, we cannot see VanZant being beaten here, she should get the victory by decision.

UFC Fight Night 124 – Uriah Hall Vs. Vitor Belfort Predictions

UFC Fight Night 124 is scheduled to take place at the Scottrade Center this Sunday and it will feature Uriah Hall as he comes up against Vitor Belfort. Hall currently has a record of 14 – 8, and over three fourths of his victories have come via knockouts. His most recent fight was a victory […]

UFC Fight Night 124 is scheduled to take place at the Scottrade Center this Sunday and it will feature Uriah Hall as he comes up against Vitor Belfort. Hall currently has a record of 14 – 8, and over three fourths of his victories have come via knockouts. His most recent fight was a victory against Krzysztof Jotko in September. He was looking down and out after three straight defeats, but then he came back strong and snatched a knockout victory in a fight that was then credited as the fight of the night.

He has not tasted consecutive victories since 2015, and will be hungry for a win against Belfort. This will be Hall’s debut fight in Missouri. He is not only a great striker, but can be a deadly force on the ground too, given that he has a ground and pound attack which is no laughing matter.

Belfort, on the other hand, is no slouch himself, he has a record of 26 – 13 coming into this fight, and certainly has more fights under his belt that his opponent. Like Hall, Belfort also wins most of his fights via knockouts. His most recent fight was a victory against Nate Marquardt. Like Hall, Belfort has not had the glory of back to back victories in a very long time and will be looking to make this fight count in his favor.

In terms of a prediction, we will side with the Belfort to win this fight.

UFC Fight Night 124 – Jeremy Stephens Vs. Doo Ho Choi Predictions

Jeremy Stephens will take on Doo Ho Choi in the main event of UFC Fight Night 214 which is now just around the corner. Come January 14th, this highly anticipated fight will unfold at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

Jeremy Stephens will take on Doo Ho Choi in the main event of UFC Fight Night 214 which is now just around the corner. Come January 14th, this highly anticipated fight will unfold at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

Stephens has moved down one weight division by going from lightweight to featherweight in the year 2013. Stephens is 8th at the moment in the rankings for the 145 lbs division and he also has some victories to his name against some worthy opponents such as former UFC Bantamweight Renan Barao, Dennis Bermudaz and Darren Elkins. His last fight was one where he impressed with a solid victory against Gilbert Melendez during UFC fight night 215. The fight was even classified as the fight of the night.

Moving on to his opponent Doo Ho Choi, Choi last fought in December of 2016 (UFC 205). This fight did not go as planned for Choi as he was defeated by Swanson in what was his first ever MMA loss. However, up until this point, Choi was on fire to say the least and was knocking opponents out left, right and center. Choi is currently placed in 12th position in the rankings and will most certainly be looking to improve on that number when he comes up against Stephens.

In terms of predictions, Stephens has been hit or miss lately, but has always looked confident, and Choi is coming back from a substantial hiatus and maybe a bit rusty out of the box. We will have to go with Stephens to win via unanimous decision.

Jeremy Stephens Won’t Stop Talking About Conor McGregor’s Mom

Longtime veteran Jeremy Stephens may have his hands full with rising contender Dooho Choi in the main event of this weekend’s (Sun.

Longtime veteran Jeremy Stephens may have his hands full with rising contender Dooho Choi in the main event of this weekend’s (Sun. January 14, 2017) UFC Fight Night 124 from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri, but it appears he’s still trying to rustle up a rivalry with Conor McGregor.

After becoming one of MMA’s most quoted punchlines when McGregor famously said “who da fook is that guy” to Stephens’ trash talk at a press conference, Stephens took to Twitter a few months back to suggest that it was McGregor’s own mother who “knows who da fook” he was:

With the spotlight on him for the week, Stephens isn’t letting up on making his name by way of McGregor’s sport-redefining star power. During an interview with TMZ Sports, “Lil’ Heathen” said he would take McGregor’s mother Margaret on a date where his father would pick them up in a cab:

”His mom’s pretty hot too, she’s great,” Stephens said. “Maybe his dad can pick us up with the cab he used to drive and then take me and his mom out on a date. Hey bro, look at her. She’s not bad looking, right? She’s a lady right there … she’s always got the invite to be snugged up here under this right arm.”

McGregor may have been out of action for nearly 14 months, yet it doesn’t seem like a single conversation about mixed martial arts can arise without his name somehow becoming involved, evident by the fact just that has transpired concerning a Midwest-U.S. event that has nothing to do with him despite Stephens’ continued trash talk towards the absentee lightweight champion.

If he’s trying to make more of a name for himself on social media, it may be working, but at some point, his jabs grow may grow weary considering he’s light years away from ever getting an actual fight with “The Notorious.”
