Joe Pounders praises Adesanya’s skills, stating “Adesanya has the superior technical skills and experience to piece up Cannonier on the outside; and, most importantly, Adesanya has shown time after time he understands how to implement footwork and technique to keep the fight at a range that allows him to have the most success.” Joe is picking Adesanya to win by late knockout.

Jared Cannonier, who trains out of the MMA Lab in Phoenix, is part of the main event at UFC 276 this Saturday in Las Vegas.
"And to be more honest, I wouldn't want to know the extent of my potential. "I did my job and I got the skills that I needed out of it, and now I'm here." And to be honest, I don't even know the extent of my potential," Cannonier said. Cannonier, taking part in his first UFC International Fight Week, dismissed all of the words and outside distractions as "white noise." And this is what it's become," he said. Cannonier has a perspective all his own on life and the world, one in part shaped by his time in the military.
Sean Zerillo breaks down Saturday's UFC 276 pay-per-view card, including his analysis, bets and model projections for all 12 fights.
I projected Strickland as close to a 55% favorite (-121 implied) in this fight and would bet his moneyline up to about -115. I expect Adesanya to be cautious of Cannonier’s power in the early stages of the fight as he attempts to kick from range. As a result, it’s hard to make Adesanya a significant favorite when Cannonier carries just as much — or potentially more — finishing upside, and the minute-winning won’t be particularly overwhelming in the champion’s favor. Volkanovski landed three takedowns in the final two rounds and held 1:26 of control time in the final three frames combined. The difference in their striking defense (59% for Lawler, 45% for Barberena) is notable. Moreover, Strickland is a far more well-rounded martial artist (22 additional MMA fights), and he’s faced a much higher level of competition. knockout artist), I certainly would set the finish expectation higher than 60%. However, I couldn’t project this line past 74%, and I show value on the fight to go to a decision at current prices (+350 at FanDuel). O’Malley fires straight punches in bunches, and he should be able to keep the range with his reach advantage and teep kicks. Turner has never won a fight past the second round, and I expect Ridell to take over late. Moreover, Hall rallied to win that fight (via split decision) against shoe face. However, I view this fight as more of a coin flip than the odds suggest. And given the relative binary nature of the matchup (submission grappler vs.

Can Israel Adesanya deliver on his highlight-reel guarantee? Will Alexander Volkanovski put an exclamation point on his rivalry with Max Holloway?
The man can’t be finished and he’s going to give O’Malley fits as he marches through the best that “Sugar” has to offer. As long as he doesn’t eat a bowl-full of haymakers in Round 1, Barberena should have the cardio advantage and seek to push the pace for 15 minutes. Not that cardio has ever been a major issue for Lawler, but years of wars have taken a toll on him and Barberena’s clearest path to victory is to see just how much the “Ruthless” one has left. Twice. But like all the great champions, Volkanovski adapts, and I’m confident that the 10 rounds he’s already spent in the cage with Holloway have given him a wealth of information with which to prepare for anything that Holloway has to offer. Munhoz is an excellent boxer, so look for him to cut off the cage, rough O’Malley up, and really test his opponent’s ability to control range. “Bam Bam” might never make it into the top 10 of the welterweight rankings and I’m assuming that doesn’t mean a damn thing to him anyway. That doesn’t mean this won’t be competitive though as a wounded Holloway is a dangerous Holloway and you can bet he’ll be scrapping to the bitter end. Pereira has shown decent takedown defense in his brief MMA career and he has plenty of size to work with too, but I think Strickland can wear him down if he puts a heavy emphasis on wrestling. As long as he’s allowed to step into the cage and swing freely against guys like Robbie Lawler and Matt Brown, he’s a happy man. That’s not to take away from some of the excellent headliners and championship bouts that we’ve seen in the past six months, but on paper it’s hard to beat a card featuring three of the six best pound-for-pound best fighters in the world. Volkanovski won an epic battle with Brian Ortega and then dusted “The Korean Zombie,” while Holloway held the gate against two top-10 challengers in Calvin Kattar and Yair Rodriguez to secure another crack at Volkanovski. Adesanya has promised to make magic happen against Jared Cannonier, but much like his spiritual predecessor Anderson Silva, “The Last Stylebender” needs a suitable dance partner to bring out the best in him.

Las Vegas will play host to a summer blockbuster in UFC 276 on Saturday featuring Israel Adesanya vs. Jared Cannonier and Alexander Volkanovski vs. Max...
Volkanovski has come out on top in the first two fights, but Holloway has proved worthy of another crack at the championship. The Killa Gorilla is coming off a knockout win over Derek Brunson and has finishes against Anderson Silva, Jack Hermansson and David Branch on his resume. That includes two UFC wins, but he's hardly proved himself against elite competition. The problem is we've seen what happens when he runs into someone who brings a certain level of defensive striking. However, inside the cage, he's shown some restraint. The question is whether Cannonier's power can balance out the disparity in technical prowess. Sean Strickland might be reckless with his trash talk. In partnership with Meadows Racetrack & Casino. Eligibility restrictions apply. This is going to be another epic fight. The final fight of the evening features another challenger trying to take away Israel Adesanya's middleweight crown. The challenger can't be ruled out. Max Holloway 3, with the middleweight and featherweight titles on the line respectively.

The sports streaming network has held the exclusive rights to all things UFC for some time now and that's not changing any time soon. There's much more to get hyped about for happening at UFC 276, which also includes Sean Strickland taking on Alex Pereira and the Bantamweight bout between Pedro Munhoz and fan-favorite Sean O'Malley, too. The experienced 38-year-old striker has more than earned his title shot, and this is evident in his impressive historic first-round knockouts in the past over the likes of Cyril Asker and Anderson Silva. As to whether Cannonier can regain his past fury and add a second loss to Adesanya's record remains to be seen. Cannonier enters UFC 276 fresh off a recent second-round knockout elbow victory over Derek Brunson. It isn't hard to see why Jared's taking top billing at this pay-per-view event, as his knockout prowess can certainly show. It's fair to say that Adesanya has more than lived up to his stellar reputation in recent years, and you don't have to look too far backward in the Nigerian kickboxer's history to see why.

Strickland has been inching closer and closer to a title shot, but Pereira—who already owns two wins against Adesanya from their kickboxing matchups—would make for a better story line if Adesanya retains his title. In the main event, Israel Adesanya defends his middleweight title against Jared Cannonier. Eleven years into his career, this marks Cannonier’s first UFC title fight. Cerrone was built to deliver Fight of the Night performances. 24—the most in UFC history—for Miller, and it was immediately followed by Cerrone announcing his retirement. Jalin Turner looked outstanding in his victory against Brad Riddell, who entered the bout ranked No. 14 in the lightweight division. The eye poke occurred just over three minutes into the second round, and Munhoz (19–7, 2 NC) was unable to continue.
