Media When other Pros Predict Fights - They're Absolutely Clueless. Shertards have a better record for predicting fights.

[Hog-train]

I usually bet on fights so I always watch the fight predictions of fellow MMA fighters. And I have noticed a trend - they're absolutely clueless and wrong most of the time.

I don't know if it is personal bias because some have trained together, so they can't be objective or what. But they're wrong much more often than even the general public or the oddsmakers.

Shouldn't they know better than the people? They're usually all over the pace in predictions for most title fights, but this Khamzat fight was really a stark reminder that they have no idea - most fighters had DDP winning.

Why are SHERTARDS better at fight predictions than the pros??? I mean it is true Shertards are usually in better shape than the pros with an average height of 6'4" 235 lbs of muscle and 6% body fat, but fight predictions is a different thing.

Reiner De Riddler - DDP
Jarod Cannonier - DDP
Robert Whitaker - DDP
Caio Borralo - DDP will win if it goes past 2 rounds
Luke Rockhold - DDP will win if it goes past 2 rounds
Mighty Mouse - DDP
Israel Adesanya - DDP
Kamaru Usman - Khamzat
Michael Bisping - DDP
Stephen Wonderboy Thompson - DDP
Aljimain Sterling - Khamzat
Belal Mohammed - Khamzat will make it look easy
Chael Sonnen - DDP
Chris Weidman - DDP
Firas Zahabi - Khamzat will take him down in 60 seconds in round 1. He'll finish DDP in rd 1 or 2.
Alex Volkanovski - DDP
Sean Brady - DDP
Matt Serra - DDP
Kenny Florian - DDP
Josh Thompson - DDP
Teddy Atlas - Khamzat
Gilbert Burns - DDP
Rampage Jackson - Khamzat
Arnold Allen - DDP

Bonus: MMA Guru is a retard. Guy gets title fights wrong more than 50% of the time. Said with conviction DDP will dominate Khamzat. What a pathetic success rate predicting fights when your whole channel is about MMA.

So Belal is the god of predictions

I've been saying for a long time that fighters don't know anymore about how to break down a fight than a many forum posters so I don't really give a shit who they think will win fights. They're literally more biased than many of the biased fanboys here

They pick guys from their gym, management team, country, religion, ex-sparring partner
Weird that Sterling and Zahabi are managed by Rubenstein like DDP and picked Khamzat

 

[wisdom blows]

Most of them are jealous when a guy like Khamzat gets in the spotlight that quick. Embarrassing.

I don’t think that’s the case at all

 

[italiamusica]

I'm sure for some of them, they voted for DDP to win because that's who they'd rather fight, and were hoping to manifest it lol.

Same with the fans tbh, they're prone to drinking the kool-aid and picking with their heart instead of their head.
Which is fine, lol we all pick fights wrong or don't absolutely love the outcome.

But there's clearly a pissy energy emanating from the complaints we're seeing tonight

It could. They’re wrong so often about big fights.

 

[Gamer2k4]

I can't remember who it was, but there used to be a fighter (I'm talking 10 years ago, probably) who was so consistently wrong that him picking you to win was pretty much a guarantee you wouldn't.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

I'm just glad SOMEBODY decided to call out other fighters for being as bad or worse than so-called "casuals" at this. Weird how the Khamzat nuthuggers won't do it.

The truth is, even some of THEM predicted a Khamzat finish so they were just as wrong as everyone else except for who would win. If people knew ahead of time how this "fight" would've turned out they'd have stayed away in droves instead of looking forward to it as much as they did. I'd say at least 90% of fighters AND fans were fooled.

 

[ElLunico]

Most of them thought Khamzat early or DDP late.

I dont thulink No one ever uttered Khamzat by decision lol. Fighters or fans. If anything if it went the distance it would be DDP.

 

[SmoothPies]

GSP is the only one I can think of that usually has great analysis and is spot on most of the time

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Fighters, pundits, and fans alike, makes no difference. They’re all wrong.

Shit, AI had a better track record last year with something like a mid to high 70% success rate.

Might as well do a combo of dice, AI, and a magic 8 ball for good measure.
