Current State of UFC Women’s Featherweight Division

Current State of UFC Women’s Featherweight Division 

  Last Saturday at UFC 259 the show wasn’t just the main event, in the co- main event we saw the best women’s fighter of all time Amanda Nunes show she is queen of the jungle once again. Amanda Nunes defended her UFC Featherweight championship one of her two UFC titles. She was taking on challenger Megan Anderson. Anderson in my opinion was thrown into the fight because the division severely lacks challengers. She was on a winning streak but she was beating fighters no where near Nunes. Many thought Anderson one punch power and size would give her hope in the fight. That was not the case at all. Nunes made quick work of Anderson on the feet then when it went to the ground Amanda Nunes tied up Anderson in an arm bar triangle. That looked very painful. Anderson tapped to end her time in a steel cage with a loin. Nunes won by submission in the first round to retain her UFC Featherweight championship. Which according to Anderson will be the last time Nunes will defend. No not because she’s like Joe from You where she’s going to stalk her for taking what’s hers. No not at all. Actually Dana White told Anderson without a victory there wouldn’t be much point to the division. That Felicia Spencer vs Danyelle Wolf on May 22nd will be the last UFC Women’s Featherweight bout now. Nunes has beaten all the top contenders in impressive fashion. Leaving no one really on her level or even close. Anderson is a free agent now as that was the last fight on her deal. With her height she will never be able to get down to 135. The double champ Nunes is over in a way or it lives on forever unless she loses the Bantamweight championship. Which is hard to believe even with how confident Juliana Pena is. Amanda Nunes bullied a division out of the UFC. Amazing that’s true goat status. Making my job on this certain division and piece a whole lot easier.

The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division

  The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division  We are about a week since UFC 260 when Francis Ngannou shook up the world. At UFC 260 Francis Ngannou showed off some new ability and his generational power to take home the title world baddest man and the UFC Heavyweight Championship away from Stipe Miocic. The headliner at UFC 260 was the greatest UFC Heavyweight of all time Stipe Miocic defending his title for a second time against The Predator Francis Ngannou. Miocic dominated the first fight with constant takedown pursuit against the non existing takedown defense of Ngannou. Some thought the same would happen, others believed Ngannou power was going to pull through on this occasion. No one really knew if Ngannou improved his cardio and grappling since him and the champ last met. Ngannou got another title shot by knocking out all his opponents in less than a minute except for Derrick Lewis. Which was a snooze fest that Lewis pulled out. Nonetheless Ngannou didn’t have to...

Were You Entertained? By Maybe The Greatest Game Ever

Were You Entertained? By Maybe The Greatest Game Ever How mad are the fans in Mexico City that LA got their game due to poor field conditions? What hell of game the 9-1 Chiefs and 9-1 Rams put on for us last night. The game lived up to all expectations, and more. MVP candidate Todd Gurley was hurt early in the game as he left the game around the 8 minute mark in the 4th, and didn’t get another snap until 7 minutes of game time after that. He had only 12 touches for 55 yards. Luckily his counterpart Kareem Hunt didn’t have a great game either, as he ran for 70 yards in 14 touches. Remember not great game to these Pro Bowlers standers. A task for the Rams to win was to win the turnover battle which they did, but came from a big help from young starting quarterback Jared Goff. Goff through no interceptions had 413 yards throwing, a 117 QB rating, a running touchdown, and 4 touchdown passes. The biggest one came at the end of the game with about 4 minutes left to go that gave LA a 54-...

Goat Talk NBA Bets June 1st, 2021

  Goat Talk NBA Bets June 1st, 2021  All bets through FanDuel  Celtics vs Nets  Nets spread 12.5  Over 233 Kyrie Irving 30+ PTS with win +260  Kyrie Irving top scorer +600  Yes no shocker here but the Nets will take Game 5 and avoid going back to Boston. Somewhere they really don’t want to play after Irving’s bottle incident with the fan. Irving stepped on the leprechaun logo and will step on the Celtics 2021 season. Irving will pop tonight against his former team. Irving is petty. Probably the most in the league. Irving will look to have a superstar night against the Celtics. Bet his friends will let him. Irving will score lots of points in the close out game against the Celtics. Yes -12.5 points seems to be a lot of points to cover but Brooklyn is the pettiest team in basketball they will look to make a statement behind that juggernaut offense. The Celtics stole game 3 and don't expect something of that magnitude to happen again. Kemba Walker is doub...
