UFC 248 Results: A Round-by-Round Look Back (and My Totally Wrong Predictions!)

Hey fight fans! So, UFC 248… man, what a night, right? I’m still kinda reeling from some of those fights. I thought I had it all figured out – totally nailed my predictions, haha, not. Seriously, I was way off on a couple of those bouts. Let's break it down round-by-round, shall we? I'll even share my epic fails along the way – you know, for comedic effect (mostly to avoid total embarrassment).

The Main Event: Adesanya vs. Costa – A Masterclass in Precision

Okay, so the main event, Israel Adesanya versus Paulo Costa. I, like many others, thought Costa's power would be too much for Adesanya. I predicted a brutal knockout in the second round. So wrong. Adesanya's precision and footwork? Absolutely insane.

• Round 1: Costa came out swinging, as expected, a wild whirlwind of punches. But Adesanya, he was slick. Dodging, countering, picking his shots. Costa landed some good ones, sure, but Adesanya was just too elusive. Adesanya wins the round.

• Round 2: Costa seemed to tire a bit. Maybe it was the strategy; maybe he underestimated Adesanya. Either way, he couldn't keep up the same pace. Adesanya kept picking him apart, landing those crisp jabs and keeping Costa at bay. Adesanya wins the round. This is where I started to freak out!

• Round 3: This is where my predictions went completely off the rails. I figured Costa would pull out some magic in this round. I was thinking desperation fueled by adrenaline. Instead, Adesanya totally dominated. The guy was on another level. His movement was poetry in motion. Adesanya wins the round.

• Round 4 & 5: Honestly, these rounds were brutal to watch for Costa fans. Adesanya completely controlled the fight, his striking a masterpiece of technique. It was a beatdown. Adesanya wins the rounds. A pretty decisive unanimous decision victory for Adesanya. I learned a valuable lesson that night: underestimating Adesanya's skill is a huge mistake.

Zhang Weili vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: A War For the Ages

This fight, man… this was a fight. Zhang Weili vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the strawweight belt. This was a fight that made my jaw drop and left me emotionally drained. Seriously, the level of toughness and skill was insane.

• Round 1-5: This was a back-and-forth brawl from start to finish. Both fighters were warriors. I don’t even think I can break it down round by round fairly, both of them were incredible. I remember that one bloody head clash – holy moly. Each round was basically a coin flip and a brutal exchange. In the end, Weili edged out a split decision. I’ll admit, I had Jedrzejczyk winning. Even my wife said she had it for Jedrzejczyk and she doesn't even watch UFC!

What I learned from this fight: Sometimes, even with great striking and incredible heart, you don't always win. Judges' scores are subjective.

Key Takeaways: UFC 248 and My Learning Curve

So, what did I learn from UFC 248? A few things:

1. Never underestimate Adesanya's precision. The guy is a machine.
2. Respect the judges' scorecards. Even if you think you know who won, it’s ultimately their call.
3. Don't make predictions too confidently. Especially not on social media! The lesson learned the hard way.

UFC 248 was a night of surprises, close calls, and incredible displays of skill. It’s a reminder of why we love this sport. I'm already looking forward to the next event! What about you?
