Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this UFC Fight Night prediction thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I decided to dive into it headfirst, no prior knowledge, just pure gut feeling and a bit of research as I went along.

First things first, I pulled up the fight card for this weekend. We’re talking about the event happening at the Rogers Place in Edmonton. Yeah, that one. The main event is what caught my eye: Brandon Moreno vs. Amir Albazi. This is a big deal in the Flyweight division, and I was pumped to see what I could figure out about these two.
I started digging into their records. Albazi, man, this guy is on a roll. He’s undefeated in the UFC, 5-0, and he’s going in as the underdog at +135. I mean, the odds are not in his favor, but that doesn’t mean much in the Octagon, right? I made a note of that, a big bold note, because underdogs winning? That’s the stuff I live for.
- Checked out some expert picks.
I skimmed through a bunch of articles, one from a so-called “handicapper” named Andy Lang, another was an event preview talking about the main and co-main events. I felt like a real analyst, piecing together bits of info here and there.
- Jotted down predictions.
Then came the fun part. I started making my own predictions, just like those MMA analysts do. I wrote down who I thought would win each fight, how they’d do it, maybe a knockout, a submission, or a decision. I was feeling pretty confident, even though I hadn’t watched a ton of fights before.
- Watched some fight highlights.
To make sure I wasn’t totally off base, I watched a few highlight reels. Seeing these guys in action, the way they move, their fighting styles, it all added to the excitement. I was getting a better feel for the sport, and it made my predictions feel a bit more solid.

- Shared with friends.
I even shared my picks with some buddies who are way more into UFC than I am. They gave me some pointers, told me where I might be going wrong, and where I was surprisingly spot on. It was cool to get that feedback and see how my amateur analysis held up.
The Result?
Well, I’m not claiming to be some kind of MMA guru now. But I’ve got my predictions locked in, and I’m ready for Fight Night. It’s not just about who wins or loses for me now. It’s about seeing if my gut feeling and the little bit of research I did can actually predict the outcome of these fights. Win or lose, it’s been a blast getting into it, and I’m definitely going to be doing this again for the next big event.
Who knows, maybe I’ve found a new hobby. And who cares about those odds, right? Bring on the fights!
