What are some fight predictions that you got horribly wrong?

[Davidjacksonjones]

What are some fights from the past that you had predictions for, that went horribly wrong? Example, predicting Ciryl Gane to knock out Jon Jones.

Here are some of my predictions that went terribly wrong
-Izzy vs Alex 2. I thought Alex would have a huge psychological edge by beating the man 3 times in a row. I felt Izzy would try to wrestle and that it would backfire, leading to him getting knocked out.

-Leon Edwards vs Kamaru Usman 2 - I thought Usman would dominate Leon Edwards and win a comfortable UD, based on him winning the majority of the previous fight rounds

-Anderson Silva vs Chris Weidman 1 - Silva was invincible at the time and was unbeaten in so long, I gave Weidman 0 chance and expected him to be dominated and knocked out

-Amanda Nunes vs Julianna Peña 1 - Had no idea who Julianna was, but expected it to be another one sided whooping by Amanda, which she did in the rematch though

I honestly thought GSP would beat Serra.

 

[Sincere Guy]

Blaydes vs Pavlovich over 1.5 rounds
Cyborg vs Amanda

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

I honestly thought GSP would beat Serra.

Definitely. One of, if not the biggest upsets in MMA history. I don't think many would have predicted their first encounter correctly

 

[JakePaulMMA]

I thought Tito was gonna beat Chuck the first time, not get the absolute shit beat out of him.

Jan vs Glover
Yan vs Merab
Aldo vs Merab
Charles vs Islam
Grasso vs Shevchenko

You already got most of mine but the one I really got wrong was Holloway vs Aldo 1. I really believed that Holloway wasn't on Aldo's level and was proven to be very wrong about that.

What's the difference between picking a fight horribly wrong vs just regular wrong?
Nobody comes close to picking them all right.

Fiziev vs Gaethje. Thought Fiziev was gonna fuck him up and embarrass him badly but alas, Fiziev fought like a retard and blew his load.

You can still argue Fiziev won the first 2 rounds but whatever lol. I'm still salty and the fact that I dislike Gaethje and we still have this Poirier-Gaethje duo at the top doesn't help it.

 

[Marko Atanasovik]

Edwards vs Usman 2
Yan vs Merab
KKF vs Askarov
Blachowicz vs Reyes

I guess regular wrong could mean you guessed parts of it right, example picking the correct fighter to win but getting the method wrong.

Not too sure really. Just the type of prediction where if you were to make constant threads of it, and people make you eat crow for it because it was just such a bad prediction

I remember being so confident that Oliveira would finish Makhachev either by SUB or TKO really, and do it in the 2nd round. Damn was I wrong

Same here!
I knew Max was good, but felt Aldo was on another level. I didn't think too much of Aldo's loss to Conor, and felt he would destroy Max

Great minds my brother, I knew you were special the first time I saw you post.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Thought Alex had Izzy’s number and was going to end him for good


Max vs volk 2, I expect pure domination from volk like the first fight I scored 49-46 volk, I expected volk to win even easier it was a much closer fight then I expected

Thanks brother.
Keep up the great posts, and never forget to spread the word of Jones

Whittaker Vs Adesanya I really got smoked on that one lol

 

[DOMMA]

Most recently:

Yan vs O'Malley. I thought Yan would out-class and dominate O'Malley
Rose vs Carla - Thought Rose would walk through Carla with ease.
