Best MMA Fights of The Weekend! UFC, Bellator, ONE, Invicta, & PFL Picks!


UFC Fight Night 151 

Al Iaquinta (14-4-1) vs. Donald Cerrone (35-11)

Our beloved "Long Island Idiot" has won 5 of his last 6 with the lone loss being a decent effort to champ Khabib Nurmagomedov. Al is solid as they come and one of the greatest interviews in the game today.

"Cowboy" has proven he ain't ready to be put out to pasture just yet. Cerrone is a new father and reborn in MMA. Okay, maybe not, but he's always a fun watch even if he can't take punishment anymore. Donnie is talented everywhere but he has had 48 professional fights so, ya know.

We like "Ragin' Al" to do enough work to win 3 rounds at the least in what should be "Fight of the Weekend!"

WINNER-Al Iaquinta by Decision

Derek Brunson (18-7) vs. Elias Theodorou (16-2)

Are you fucking kidding me? This is what passes for a UFC Co-Main Event? Derek is dumb as fuck and Elias is boring as fuck. Garbage.

WINNER-Derek Brunson by Decision

Kevin Swanson (25-10) vs. Shane Burgos (11-1)

Geez, we don't like to see "Cub" go down like this after all the great years of MMA he gave us. Swanson has lost his last 3 but more than that, dude is now 35 and has been through a lot of wars. Burgos meanwhile is on the come up and boasting a healthy 4-1 UFC record.

It's just too much at this point. Much like Ross Pearson recently, ya gotta know when to go.

WINNER-Shane Burgos by Decision

Sarah Moras (5-4) vs. Macy Chiasson (4-0)

We're not just sayin' it because she blew out Gina Mazany in her last outing, but Macy Chiasson could be something special. Not much experience but she seems like a natural. Macy will eat "Cheesecake" easily.

WINNER-Macy Chiasson by Rd.2 TKO

Bellator 

Brent Primus (8-1) vs. Tim Wilde (12-3)

Primus lost his belt last out to Michael Chandler, but gained a lot of respect in the effort. "The Experiment" is coming in from England on a 3-fight bounce and has a nice opportunity here. Ya gotta favor the American to hold the homeland in a fun fight.

WINNER-Brent Primus by Decision

Derek Campos (19-8) vs. Pedro Carvalho (9-3)

Not to be a dick but Campos is on his way out. "We all are, act accordingly." Portugal by way of SBG Ireland coming in young and hungry.

WINNER-Pedro Carvalho by Rd.2 TKO

ONE Championship

Kiamrian Abbasov (20-4) vs. Yushin Okami (35-12)

Aw, cmon man. Why ya gotta do this shit to Okami? "Thunder" doesn't make much noise anymore and Abby is made to fuck him up.

WINNER-Kaimrian Abbasov by Rd.1 TKO

Tetsuya Yamada (26-6) vs. Marat Gafurov (16-2)

Yamada repping Tiger May Thai and coming into his prime. "Cobra" can't tap Tetsuya and thus loses on the cards.

WINNER-Tetsuya Yamada by Decision

Priscilla Hertati Lumban Gaol (6-4) vs. Nou Srey Pov (1-1)

"That" is an interesting watch and deserves a look here as she gains experience.

WINNER-Priscilla Gaol by Decision

Invicta FC Phoenix Rising 1



Kailin Curran (4-6) vs. Sunna Rannveig Davidsdottir (3-0) 

We're a bit confused as to how this tournament thingy works here but we love the Angel Curran and have seen improvement in her game. Kailin gets a much needed win here over the insanely athletic Icelandic namesake of the famous line of Davidsdottir's.

WINNER-Kailin Curran by Decision


PFL 2019: Regular Season

Kayla Harrison (3-0) vs. Svetlana Khautova (2-0)

There is no competition out there for ATT's Olympian at this point, but you should still tune in and watch her do the damn thing. She has so much talent it will be interesting to see how she grow in the sport.

WINNER-Kayla Harrison by Rd.1 Submission

Ray Cooper III (17-5) vs. Zane Kamaka (13-3)

"Bradda Boy" really opened our eyes in the last season of the PFL. Dude is awesome, only 26, and his father Ray Cooper Jr.  was a professional fighter for 11 years!

WINNER-Ray Cooper III by Rd.2 TKO

Sarah Kaufman (20-4) vs. Morgan Frier (4-1) 

Women are afraid to fire Sarah. These are facts. Too bad if you don't like her style, she's an underrated talent that gets wins. Run game girl!

WINNER-Sarah Kaufman by Decision
