UFC Fight Night
Medic vs. Rodriguez
Event scorecard
- Winner 1
- Method rightCalls the winner, not the method
- Round rightCalls the winner, not the round
| Fight | Pick | Actual | Winner | Method | Round |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No pick | Medić · KO/TKO R1 | Miss | Not applicable — the winner call missed | Not applicable — the winner call missed | |
Discussed at length without naming a winner — argued Medic's 100% finish rate is itself an upset risk, then cited fighters who performed well after incarceration, and closed on doubting Rodriguez could step straight into a 25-minute fight. A lean, never a committed pick. | |||||
| FAV Stirling · to win | Stirling · KO/TKO R1 | Hit | Not called | Not called | |
Framed it as Stirling's speed against Blachowicz's power and noted that in four-ounce gloves power often beats speed, but closed by saying the rankings have this matchup wrong and the oddsmakers closer to right, siding with them on Stirling. “I think the odds makers are the one that are a little closer here, and I do favor with them [Stirling].” | |||||
| No pick | Rakić · Dec R3 | Miss | Not applicable — the winner call missed | Not applicable — the winner call missed | |
Asked directly whether Tybura could pull the upset. Spent the answer on Rakic's overdue move to heavyweight and conceded the opponent is a hard fight, closing on Rakic being a player at heavyweight — a division verdict, not a stated winner for this bout. | |||||
| No pick | Urbina · KO/TKO R1 | Miss | Not applicable — the winner call missed | Not applicable — the winner call missed | |
No winner named. Said the good news for Urbina is that he has made the walk before, then conceded Cepo is the more skilled fighter while doubting those skills come out on debut. Directionally a lean to Urbina, but he stopped short of picking. | |||||
UFC Freedom 250
Topuria vs. Gaethje
Event scorecard
- Winner 1
- Method rightNo correct calls to break down yet
- Round rightNo correct calls to break down yet
| Fight | Pick | Actual | Winner | Method | Round |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No pick | Gaethje · KO/TKO R4 | Miss | Not applicable — the winner call missed | Not applicable — the winner call missed | |
Won't call it — argues you're either overrating Topuria or underrating Gaethje, and admits he doesn't know which. | |||||
| FAV Pereira · to win | Gane · KO/TKO R2 | Miss | Not applicable — the winner call missed | Not applicable — the winner call missed | |
Sonnen isn't convinced Gane truly wants the prize — that winning an interim belt opens a can of worms (a Pereira rematch, an Aspinall drop-back, a returning Jon Jones) he may not be invested in — and a fighter who doesn't want the prize often doesn't want the victory. He takes Pereira, expecting a long night, possibly a decision.
“I'm taking Alex Pereira. It's going to be a long night, possibly even a decision.” * From the UFC on Paramount+ HQ Spotlight panel. | |||||
