UFC 267 Review Show

Fri, 5 Nov 2021 13:50:28 +0000

The old guy did it. UFC 267 was an instant classic - highlighted by a pair of 135 lbs gunslingers trading leather for 25 mins, and the culmination of a heavyweight dream long overdue.

LFA 116 - Fremd v Valente from Vail, Colorado

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Nick Goodwin) — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 22:00:41 +0000

LFA 116 was live in Vail, Colorado (of all the crazy places to have MMA) and I had to watch. Tremendous card filled with up and comers - a few of which will see the UFC fairly soon. The main card was a complete bloodbath in the best way possible. Enjoy!

Episode 035 - Costa v Vettori

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Nick Goodwin, Jeda Robinson, Ryan Curl) — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 19:56:15 +0000

It's hard to make Marvin Vettori the likable guy in a matchup, but Paulo Costa has done it. This card is really, really good. Maybe not all the biggest names in the world, but plenty of sick bouts. Tune in.

As always, don't forget to like, share, sub. And don't forget, we're uploading more and more YouTube content – including full episodes – so check us out there.

Episode 034 - Ladd v DuMont

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Nick Goodwin, Ryan Curl, Jeda Robinson) — Fri, 15 Oct 2021 22:20:15 +0000

The most important conversation was about Fury and Wilder. And that's obvious. Other fun was had.

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Nick Goodwin) — Fri, 8 Oct 2021 19:44:08 +0000

Marina Rodriguez and McKenzie Dern are here to make the best women's division even more interesting. Not a ton of huge names on this card, but lots of potentially excellent action. Jump on in.

Episode 666 (029) - Paul v Woodley

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Jeda Robinson, Nick Goodwin, Ryan Curl) — Fri, 27 Aug 2021 17:49:41 +0000

A time would come when a fight outside the UFC would demand to be featured as the headlining Unshow bout. We didn't really think it would be Jake Paul, but here we are. We've also got a - let's be honest - not good UFC card to talk through. But who knows, last week's card delivered.

Episode 028 - Cannonier v Gastelum

135 - Jamey Simmons (+210) - Johnny Munoz (-265)

-both coming off debut losses

-Simmons is just not a UFC caliber fighter

-BET - Munoz by decision +225 – (6/10) – Simmons clinch work will stretch the fight out

125 - Melissa Gatto (-110) - Victoria Leonardo (-110)

-debut for Gatto

-Leonardo is very durable (took a ton of damage before stopped by Manon Fiorot)

-BET - over 1.5 rounds (-210) – (7/10) – maybe add to a parlay

135 - Miles Johns (-210) - Anderson Dos Santos (+170)

-Miles Johns much younger (27 to 36) - important moment for him

-Miles Johns comes from terrific boxing camp (Fortis) and wrestles very well

-Johns did incredibly well with high pressure, Kevin Natividad – carries power late (3rd round TKO)

-Dos Santos can survive in fights he can wrestle - he won’t have advantage here

-BET - Miles Johns inside distance (+235) – (7/10)

125 - Manel Kape (-210) - Ode Osbourne (+170)

-huge fight for both guys

-Kape came into promotion as RIZIN champ, has somewhat overwhelmed but overstated IMO

-Ode Osbourne has fought at 135

-interesting note that he is a teacher and is on summer break

-Kape 80% takedown defense

-difficult fight to call

-BET - Ode Osbourne (+170) – (4/10)

115 - Karolina Kowalkiewicz (-130) - Jessica Penne (+110)

-huge fight for KK coming off 4 losses

-possible Penne can win by sub (7 wins by sub), but KK only submitted once

-Penne decent striking defense (48%) but still absorbs 4.45/min – KK lands at 5.65/min

-BET - KK by decision (+110) - (6/10)

205 - Alonzo Menifield (-250) - Ed Herman (+200)

-Menifield has 8 KO of 10 win - Herman KO’d 3 times

-BET - Rodriguez (-115) - (3/10)

155 - Rafael Fiziev (-300) - Bobby Green (+235)

-Fiziev 3 straight W capped off by Moicano KO

-Green won 3 out of 4 - most recently lost to Thiago Moises (unanimous decision)

-Fiziev has 100% takedown defense

-Bobby Green has great striking defense percentage (63%)

-fight is Fiziev’s to win - do you go decision (+120) or KO/TKO (+165)

-BET - Fiziev by decision (+120) - 5/10

135 - Song Yadong (-105) - Casey Kenney (-115)

-both coming off losses to great fighters - Cruz (Kenney) and Kyler Phillips (Song)

-really similar approaches – mix it up well but both want to strike

-Song Yadong has more power, but Kenney has good striking defense (59%)

-winner will be whoever controls clinch/grappling

-BET - Casey Kenney by decision (+160) - 5/10

115 - Tecia Torres (-140) - Angela Hill (+115)

-Tecia Torres impossible to stop

-Torres back to back wins

-Hill 4-2 last six - could be 6-0

-Hill slightly more active in striking (5.66 landed/4.98 absorbed) - Torres (4.3 landed/3.37 absorbed)

-Hill 76% takedown defense

-BET - Hill (+115) - not enough extra value for decision (+130) - 3/10

170 - Michael Chiesa (EVEN) - Vicente Luque (-120)

-quintessential striker v grappler

-both won 4/5

-both pressure in their own way

-Luque WAY more active on feet (5.74/5.78) to (1.89/1.71)

-both have average striking defense (54% to 52%)

-3.6 takedowns/15 for Chiesa - 65% takedown defense for Luque

-fight could look kind of like Luque v Randy Brown

-when Luque loses, its to someone like Chiesa - Leon Edwards took him down 3 times, Michael Graves took him down 7 times

-Chiesa last 2 losses by sub and Luque has 7 wins by sub, won last fight by sub over Woodley

-BET - Luque by submission (+700) - 4/10 (VALUE) - could just go Luque by stoppage (+160) and/or hedge with Chiesa decision (+235)

135 - Jose Aldo (-115) - Pedro Munhoz (-105)

-Aldo coming off Vera decision win; Munhoz coming off Jimmie Rivera decision win

-both guys really only lose to elite

-both guys aging (34), important fight

-Munhoz keeps higher pace in striking (5.6/5.87) to (3.45/3.52) - similar defense (around 60%)

-unlikely either wrestles

-Munhoz never stopped in 5 losses; Aldo stopped only by Holloway, McGregor, Yan

-BET - Fight to go distance (-170) - 8/10

265 - Ciryl Gane (-360) - Derrick Lewis (+270)

-Derrick Lewis seems more focused than ever - 4 straight wins including Blaydes

-Gane undefeated, somewhat unchallenged

-Contrary to popular belief, Gane keeps amazing pace striking (5.13/2.6) - Lewis (2.59/2.16)

-Wrestling unlikely but not impossible

-both guys generally patient, especially in 5 round fight

-BET - Gane by KO/TKO (+125) - 8/10 - maybe hedge with Lewis by KO/TKO (+300)

Episode - 026 - UFC 265

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Nick Goodwin, Jeda Robinson, Ryan Curl) — Fri, 6 Aug 2021 17:06:35 +0000

Episode 025 - Hall v Strickland; Pitbull v McKee

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Ryan Curl, Jeda Robinson, Nick Goodwin) — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 15:24:35 +0000

It's not the greatest weekend for fights of all time. That said, we definitely have two fire main events; Bellator's 145 lbs title bout between ultra dynamic challenger AJ McKee and the Champ-Champ, Patrício Pitbull Freire as well as the UFC's pair of middleweight contenders, number 11 Sean Strickland taking on 8th ranked Uriah Hall. We also talk Dillashaw's impressive return and our early thoughts on a fight with the winner of Yan and Sterling.

Episode 024 - Sandhagen v Dillashaw

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Ryan Curl, Jeda Robinson, Nick Goodwin) — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 19:06:07 +0000

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Nick Goodwin, Jeda Robinson, Ryan Curl) — Sat, 17 Jul 2021 18:34:18 +0000

Better late than never. Naturally, a lot of this podcast is about Conor McGregor, his leg and what was a somewhat disastrous UFC 264. But Ryan loves him some Islam Mahkachev, so we got plenty of that as well. And gambling - literally right at the end if you're looking for it.

What Just Happened? - UFC 264 Poirier v McGregor 3

hello@nickalangoodwin.com (Nick Goodwin) — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 22:13:48 +0000

UFC 264's main event was short and not particularly sweet. That said, there was plenty of action to break down in what made for a frenzied first round – before the bout was ultimately stopped by the doctors after Conor McGregor's leg was visibly broken. We know what's next for Dustin Poirier – he will be fighting for the Undisputed Lightweight Title against champion, Charles Oliveira. How do you expect Poirier to compete? What's next for Conor McGregor? Will we have a 4th Poirier bout?
