UFC Vegas 88 Prediction: Tuivasa vs. Tybura – Who Will Dominate?
Dave Simon reflected on the UFC Fight Night Tuivasa vs. Tybura card, discussing various aspects of the event. He shared insights on the main event, highlighting the competitive nature of the fight and indicating that it was essentially a pick’em with Tuivasa at -115 and Tybura at -105. Dave expressed concerns about Tuivasa’s recent performances and public appearances at a WWE show, which he felt wasn’t a good look for Tuivasa. Due to these factors, he seemed to lean towards Tybura in the main event.
Dave also commented on the welterweight co-main event involving Brian Battle and Ange Loosa, showing interest in the matchups but not providing a clear prediction. He brought up Kennedy Nzechukwu vs. Ovince Saint Preux, leaning towards Kennedy due to OSP’s extensive but potentially declining career.
Furthermore, Dave touched on the betting aspects, discussing the odds and his approach to betting on the fights. He planned a two-fight parlay involving Kennedy and Tybura, aiming for a strategic bet to double his money.
AJ’s picks for the weekend’s UFC card included Kennedy Nzechukwu over Ovince Saint Preux, which he agreed upon with Dave. However, AJ hesitated about the fight between Brian Battle and Ange Loosa, indicating concerns about Battle’s performance but ultimately not including Fletcher in his parlay. For the main event, he seemed inclined to pick Marcin Tybura over Tai Tuivasa, mirroring Dave’s choice. Unlike Dave’s concise parlay, AJ’s selections seemed more exploratory, focusing on Kennedy and Tybura but with less certainty about other fights on the card.

Montreal’s Rising MMA Stars: A New Hope to Continue PFL Dominance
In a captivating discussion on the latest Ringside Report, Dave Simon and AJ delved into the burgeoning talent pool emerging from Montreal’s esteemed MMA gyms, particularly H20 and Tristar. The conversation took an intriguing turn when Dave brought up a promising newcomer training with Olivier Aubin-Mercier, hinting at the potential for this fighter to challenge for the PFL title that Aubin-Mercier has impressively clinched over the past two years. This revelation sparked a broader conversation about the calibre of fighters nurtured in Montreal and their impact on the global MMA scene.
In an insightful exchange on the Ringside Report, Dave Simon spotlighted the ascending trajectory of Montreal’s MMA scene, specifically zooming in on Michael Dufort‘s promising entry into the Professional Fighters League (PFL). Dave reminisced about Quebec’s lineage of MMA champions, subtly transitioning to Olivier Aubin-Mercier’s remarkable back-to-back PFL tournament victories. Aubin-Mercier’s departure from active competition set the stage for another Montreal fighter to continue Quebec’s legacy in the PFL. Dave hinted at a seamless transition of the lightweight championship within the H20 Gym family, positioning Dufort as the rightful heir to Aubin-Mercier’s throne.
Dufort, nicknamed the “Canadian Badass,” is set to make his PFL debut against Mads Burnell on April 12th. Dave’s enthusiasm for Dufort’s potential was palpable as he recounted witnessing Dufort’s prowess at the Montreal Quintet, affirming his status as an “absolute beast.” This endorsement wasn’t just a nod to Dufort’s skills but a testament to the calibre of talent cultivated at Montreal’s H20 Gym.

The conversation underscored a sense of pride and anticipation for Dufort’s journey, highlighting the continual emergence of elite fighters from Montreal, poised to make their mark on the global stage.

They discussed how these gyms had become incubators for high-calibre fighters, with a keen focus on discipline, technique, and strategic acumen that’s become synonymous with Montreal-trained athletes. The emergence of a new contender from these ranks, capable of challenging for a prestigious title like the PFL, underscores the city’s ongoing contribution to the sport.
