It was a double celebration for Kyoji Horiguchi because after defeating Makoto Shinryu he proposed to his girlfriend inside the ring, and for sure they got married, Kyoji Horiguchi was really something in that fight it was a quicker strike for Kyoji Horiguchi while Shinryu was not letting him his way but still Kyoji Horiguchi was faster on the feet for sure he was on a advantage because of his great striking while Kyoji Horiguchi secure in taking the back of Shinryu it was a rear naked choke that Makoto Shinryu tap while Kyoji Horiguchi got the victory of both Bellator and Rizin, as champion,

It was a true double celebration for Kyoji Horiguchi a total win for him against Makoto Shinryu and his proposal to her soon-to-be-to-be wife took place at the same time for sure there was no amount of gladness on that 1 occasion Kyoji Horiguchi the upper hand when it comes on the feet and for sure Shinryu was pressure and got a difficult time figuring his opening and his defense would be, while he was looking for a submission attempt Kyoji Horiguchi escaped and then led him to take Shinryu's back on the 2nd round that led into a Rare naked choke, it was a stunning performance for Kyoji Horiguchi,

Actually, I was shocked by the performance of Kyoji Horiguchi and from that eye poke it led me to believing that he can truly win this back then,

Guys can you tell me does anyone know any good PC game with MMA sports?
I could only found some UFC games for Xbox, PlayStations and for mobile devices, but there is nothing for PC.
It doesnt have to be new game, old MMA style games are accepted.

I think there are plenty of games that are MMA-based but I haven't seen any games available for PC, but searching Google I came across a ton of games for the PC, Fight Night Champion, is one MMA Simulator, and MMA Arena but if you want to play the other UFC base games you will need to use an emulator to play those games and emulators that can play Playstation 2, PlayStation 3, XBOX, Nintendo Wii, there are bunch of emulators to choose from that let's you play MMA base games,

Here is the video of Conor McGregor Announcing the next event he will fight and I think he is trolling about the weight class if this continues the 185 lbs then they will be fighting in the Middleweight division which is not a natural weight of Michael Chandler, and after posting this it is confirmed that McGregor will not be fighting in the UFC 300, but in a different event and here is the Screenshot and the link on Topology for sure the fans are divided with their feelings on this announcement of McGregor some fans are upset because the date moved again, and some are happy about McGregor's decision either way I am OK with it as the UFC has given McGregor what he wants


https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/109011-ufc

Hilariously Conor McGregor wants to play in the 185lb, which is pretty much crazy for someone who is just starting with 145lb in the featherweight division
which is absolutely crazy, or yeah he might be just trolling with us and Michael Chandler, and laughing if Chandler can get into that weight class, for sure the month of June is far ahead and both fighters still have a lot of time to get into that weight class, but for sure if Michael Chandler can not make it into Middleweight I think he will show up with a less weight so yeah Conor McGregor will be a tough guy to crack,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T8ZRx5FR4I
I watched this documentary about Khamzat Chimaev and I was really in tears while watching this because I also don't want a kid to be hurt aswell For sure I have low tears when it comes to little kids, I am a sweet spot on this kind of things and because of the poverty and war in Chechnya those little girls have whispered something to Borz and it touches the heart of a wolf because for sure it is so touching seeing a little girl wishing to Khamzat Chimaev for her little siblings to learn how to fight, and after watching this I really don't know that Khamzat Chimaev have a real sweet spot to kids just like me, and seeing this documentary I want to see Khamzat Chimaev back in the ring and fight again,

I missed Khamzat Chimaev for sure that last fight he had was not that good against Kamaru Usman, or he was not feeling well at that time, it was like the passion and intensity were gone when he fought Usman, but I wish we could see the old Khamzat Chimaev fighting Paulo Costa, where you can see the hunger in fighting anyone in his eyes, for sure I wish that his fight against Kamaru Usman was just a fluke and he was just having a bad day that night, but yeah wish he can Smesh back again in his fight against Paulo Costa,

I think I got lucky with my pick but the teams to win for this game are more obvious than your pick so it is pretty much easy to predict who's going to win, now here is the result for the pick for today's game,

Indiana Pacers (1.53) VS New York Knicks (2.60) - WIN


The New York Knicks got a great lead in the 1st quarter of the game but the Indiana Pacers eventually got their momentum and took over at the end of the 1st half, it was a close game, both teams did great but the Indiana Pacers just got what they want in playing a great game in Tyrese Haliburton's leadership, the team play for the Knicks was really not that great while the Pacers teamwork was incredible Aaron Nesmith, Myles Turner, and Bennedict Mathurin and all the other guys were the one that Halliburton was trusting and making that double-double 23 assist and 22 points, for this game,

Chicago Bulls (1.85) VS Philadelphia 76ers (2.00) - WIN


From start to finish the Chicago Bulls didn't let the Philadelphia 76ers take any lead, and from the 2nd half the Chicago Bulls were already leading and making a great lead toward this game, for sure no Joel Embiid and it was a struggle for the Philadelphia 76ers, but I never thought that the Chicago Bulls will eventually get this done with just an ease game for them
105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: December 31, 2023, 01:14:57 PM
Conor McGregor is making the rounds again.
As it is right before the next major event coming sometime next year (well hopefully but you never know with The Notorious one!) to get enough hype around him once more.

From what I have seen he was at a boxing match and was seated right next to Ronaldo.
McGregor was going on & on and from the photos shown, the footballer wasn't interested at all in what the Irishman was saying.
There were some talk going around he was on a substance such as cocaine.
But of course the hype machine will add whatever it wants too inorder to make the rumor mill work in beastmode.
Especially for having old names swirling around saying if Conor can make it back into the bright light of the UFC, why not them.
Such names as Nate Diaz so to face him and even Khabib Nurmagomedov setup for the middle of next year.
All hype at this point from what has been spitting around, so take it as you will.

We have a couple of weeks to talk about and keep the UFC in our mouths until the next main event.

Conor McGregor is spouting something but it is clear that Cristiano Ronaldo was not interested at all, as he were to spring out there, but for sure he would just agree with all McGregor has to say and I do hear he also has said something about Manny Pacquiao if I am not mistaken, but I haven't heard it clearly, and I have seen that Conor McGregor also shown his $200,000 – $300,000 Chopard Watch while Ronaldo has shown his Hublot Rainbow gold watch, to him,

Speaking of McGregor, he sure made a buzz on social media.

Conor McGregor Targets Manny Pacquiao, Frustrated With Delay in UFC Return
https://www.boxingscene.com/conor-mcgregor-targets-manny-pacquiao-frustrated-with-delay-ufc-return--180273
Quote
UFC superstar Conor McGregor has called for a boxing showdown with eight division champion Manny Pacquiao.
Quote
McGregor has been growing in frustration with the UFC.

He blames the MMA organization for delaying his comeback.

According to McGregor, the Saudis are interested in paying a good financial figure to match him against Pacquiao in a boxing match.

The Saudis recently paid a handsome sum for a crossover boxing match between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former UFC beltholder Francis Ngannou.
He needs permission from the UFC first but this might truly be an entertaining thing. McGregor versus Manny Pacquiao will be good entertainment but we all know it ends there. We cannot expect too much but I bet McGregor will feel the left of Manny. Grin

Quote
"Tell Manny to grow a set of balls and fight me at a higher weight class. Why not? It's his sport. If he wants me to come down to a smaller weight, I should be able to use more of my weapons. I should be able to kick. I should be able to grapple. Shouldn't that be fair? Say it to him. Is he a man or a mouse? Is Manny a man or a mouse?
If Manny fights him in a higher weight class then that means we will witness a slower Manny and we won't like that to happen. He is not that young anymore but I know he still has the weapons to put down the likes of McGregor. He should not be talking like this to a man who had put his name in the history records of boxing. I know McGregor is just making a fuzz to sell it but this is a disrespect to Manny in his fans. There are other ways to make it happen but it should not be with a foul mouth.
He just lost a lot of fans from the Philippines.

For sure he wants to be a highlight again and because he wants attention actually he may be just hyping the McGregor and Pacquiao fight yes he will need permission from the UFC if he wants a boxing fight but for sure if Dana White wants to give a boxing fight to Jon Jones for sure he will also give a boxing match for Conor McGregor as Jone Jones and Conor McGregor are one of the favorites of the UFC and Dana White so if he gives a boxing match for Conor McGregor against Floyd Mayweather Jr. for sure he will also give the Privilege again to him, if who he wants to fight in the boxing ring,

It's big holiday break and there are no big MMA events this week but is anyone watching boxing event Day of Reckoning?
Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker is starting soon and after that Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin, there was already four or five KO wins on that card!
See you all in 2024 with new MMA events Wink


I think it was not that big of an event was Rizin 45 and we will be having it now, at the end of the year, but for sure many really aren't really that eyeing the event on Rizin even myself but because we don't have any MMA event in the UFC and on other fight organization I think this is good enough, for us than not having an event at all,

While the Day Of Reckoning boxing event was a banger Sadly Deontay Wilder lost to Joseph Parker, Wilder surely has strong punching power but his hesitation was evident in the fight he didn't want to engage so much, and that led Joseph Parker to an opening and for sure he is the only favorite that have lost that night, while both Dmitry Bivol and Anthony Joshua won their fights so we will never see a Anthony Joshua VS Deontay Wilder in the future, because of what happen,

RIZIN 45

Kyoji Horiguchi VS Makoto Shinryu - Actually this is the 1st time I have seen these two fight I don't really watch Rizin and I don't have any experience with some of Rizin's fighters and even Bellator but right now doing my initial research just for the Main event well these two have already faced each other inside the ring and it is in the Bellator MMA vs. RIZIN 2, and it was ruled as No Contest because Kyoji Horiguchi poke Makoto Shinryu's eye, for this fight, Kyoji Horiguchi is a decent striker for sure he will get his opponent with punches and kicks and he will surely land the heavy blow, he also got decent wrestling so he is very well-rounded, while Makoto Shinryu is very deep with wrestling and for sure a monster in grappling because he will hold you in every position his opponent is in and on the feet he will rain down a barrage of kicks and knee, this is indeed an interesting fight but I guess I will go with the well rounded one so I think Kyoji Horiguchi if he can strike Shinryu without an eye poke he could win this,

Yup, Colby is becoming an inconvenient supporter to Trump, who probably doesn't want to be associated with him anymore.
It was also weak how Colby was calling out Stephen Thompson, who is 40, just lost a fight and is ranked below Colby. This shows he has low confidence in himself and is looking for an easy fight. But to be fair, it might be the best option for both of them and I wouldn't be surprised if that fight actually happened.

For now, the Credibility of Colby Covington has dwindled into nothingness, right now Donald Trump doesn't want to be affiliated with Covington anymore, and because he is now a bad example he can be a threat to Donald Trump's success in the next election, but I don't know if Donald Trump will get to watch UFC again, or not for this let's just wait, what may happen,

Right now a Colby Covington VS Stephen Thompson might be the best option for both fighters and because they both lose to their opponent this is quite not great for both fighters, but this is just their best option,

Yup! It is hard to say if the fighters would change or not as the event is still too far ahead, and there could be injuries along the way as the date progresses well we will be having an event next 2 weeks so yeah available event for us was the power slap and I think Rizin 45 will be on December 31, it will be a Flyweight fight between Kyoji Horiguchi VS Makoto Shinryu so this coming end of the year I will be watching this event for sure because we don't have any UFC event this week,

Oh! yes, we might get a changed fighter if that fighter got injured or something or pulled back from the fight, we can really never say for sure because the fight is next year and there are still a couple of months for us to really see the outcome,

Rizin 45 is on December 31, for sure it is a much greater event than the power slap in my opinion, and how I think the UFC does have an event for the end of the year, a a year-end fight will be great instead of making us wait for too long,

Very Amusing indeed I got 1 out of 3 wins for the games today, well picking the profitable games is risky as anything can happen

Houston Rockets (2.05) VS Philadelphia 76ers (1.81) - WIN


The Houston Rockets got a great start until the 2nd quarter but the Philadelphia 76ers have gotten momentum and taken a great leap the 1st half ended with the Houston Rockets with 1 point lead, it was a 62 - 63 lead for the Rockets, then until the 4th quarter the lead of the Houston Rockets just grew exponentially until the Philadelphia 76ers made some minor adjustments that make the game so close that the Rockets was exhausted  and so the 76ers made a great come back in winning the game,

Denver Nuggets (1.65) VS Oklahoma City Thunders (2.30) - LOST


Surprise by the result of this game I never thought that the defending champion would lose against the OKC, the Oklahoma City Thunders made a great lead for this game but the Nuggets are not far behind, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was such a respectable reaching his points to 40, Jamal Murray was such a help with the Nuggets play but it was not enough if he can not make his own points for the team, so the Oklahoma City Thunders won this game,

Portland Trail Blazers (1.45) VS San Antonio Spurs (2.85) - LOST


It was a close game for both teams in the 1st quarter but the Portland Trail Blazers managed to leave the San Antonio Spurs behind and make their move from that the Portland Trail Blazers didn't hesitate and gave the San Antonio Spurs a beating because from that point on they never let the San Antonio Spurs make a lead in the 2nd half, they have sealed them it was the combination of 5 players from the Trail Blazers, Toumani Camara, Scoot Henderson is a playmaker, Jabari Walker, Malcolm Brogdon, and Jerami Grant,


110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 30, 2023, 10:55:18 AM

And with that, they are 10:1 underdog against the Boston Celtics in this game, -15.5 initial line of betting. I haven't seen this kind of huge line, maybe except in the Olympics or maybe some Asian game. But now the line is getting worst for the Pistons that it's really ridiculous to bet on them.

Not just the coaching staff though, they need to change their mentality and think that they can win night in night out. The thing is that when their opponents take a lead, they don't have the heart to chase it and make a comeback.

For sure even though Cade Cunningham had a great game against the Boston Celtics, it was not enough, and because of the continued downfall of the Detroit Pistons their credibility in making it to the playoffs is now gone to nothing and many don't want to bet on them anymore as it is a risk involving yourself and risking in trusting the Piston to win in a game but for sure maybe with the teams near the bottom they could have a chance as an underdog but against the Boston Celtics they can not win against the Boston even if that game was so close and next game was against the Toronto Raptors for sure they may have a chance but still many will surely doubt this,

Lakers will host Hornets. That should be an easy game for Lakers. Anthony Davis is having a good season, the last time he dropped 40 but they lost to Celtics. Now they should play easier game and won't have too much trouble. LeBron is making near triple-double stats as well.
Nuggets will host Grizzlies. They are tired, coming from Pelicans away game which finished in overtime. I believe Nuggets will win this one if they can lock Morant.

Right now LeBron James and Anthony Davis are the two that are keeping the Los Angeles Lakers together, for sure if these two can not play for the team or are injured the Los Angeles Lakers will surely struggle to get a win, well this is a hard time for the Los Angeles Lakers making their way for the Playoffs as they are right now even though they have won the In Season tournament the playoffs is a different goal and if the Lakers would only rely on LeBron James and Anthony Davis, they can not make it into the finals for sure,

A few more weeks before the trade deadline. It seems like the Lakers know their chances against the top teams as they are pursuing trades aggressively. So according to the odds, the Lakers are likely to acquire Dejounte Murray from Atlanta. I don't know what assets the Lakers can offer but the team has a decent roster except that they lost their future first draft picks already in the previous trades.

Some people on social media are saying Lebron should be part of the trade which is impossible. It's not even a surprise if it's Lebron pressuring the management to acquire other stars or better talents while he is still playing at a high level.



For some reason Fans just want the Los Angeles Lakers to be good again, and after winning the In-Season Tournament this year, they want the Lakers to continue their winning and go into the Finals again for sure, just like what they did last season, but they will need to trade certain key players for this to happen, well fans just wants the best for the Los Angeles Lakers but getting LeBron James out of the Lakers is really impossible as James now is still profitable for their business and for the team while LeBron James is still playing like his old self so it is a real big win for the Los Angeles Lakers,

Both Ferrari drivers had been locked in with their contracts into the 2025 and beyond even before the season ended. I believe I had a post about it during the race in the United States when Sainz signed his and Leclerc back in June or July if I recall correctly.
They are the Ferrari boys atleast for this coming season at the very least so no movement of the horses.

I guess because of the recent performance of both Ferrari Drivers in the recent season Ferrari will surely keep both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, at 1st Many thought that Charles Leclerc would be the only driver that could stay with Ferrari and rumors have speculated that Sainz may go but with the Singapore GP performance of Carlos Sainz have shown that he can win and because both Ferrari has some technical issues with their machines Carlos Sainz have won the Singapore Grand Prix that is without the Red Bull, but it was an awesome performance for Carlos Sainz,

We have the 1st dates for the presentation of the new cars.

Williams and Sauber, will present their cars on the 5th of Februrary.

It will be on February 5, they will be announcing the new model or chassis for their car, as Alfa Romeo and Peter Sauber are quite excited about announcing something for us, and it is an early Christmas gift for fans and for the media for this kind of a big revelation but still, there are so much that could happen with that given date so let's just wait and see what Peter Sauber has in store with us, https://x.com/alfaromeostake/status/1738258933305725396?s=20





And looking at the 2024 schedules the Start of the race was on February 29, to March 02, and Bahrain will be the 1st country the F1 will have the official race while February 21-23 will be the Pre-Season Testing in Bahrain International Circuit, in Sakhir,

Since Conor has joked about running for 2025 president, then he has lost one of his weapons - trashtalk. If he has real intention to stand for election, then he should carefully watch what he talks about. One careless statement and his political career will end before it begins. Even if he just wants to get a position of minister of sports.

I dont think that he has won fights only because of trash talk, getting in the head. There were trash talkers in UFC before. Take Covington recent trash talks with Edwads, lost the fight, even though he got in the head. Or Chael Sonnen. One of the guys who has black belt in trash talk. Lost all most important fights in his career.

For sure I have never seen a trash-talking president before and this is the first time we could see a president in the MMA if Conor McGregor did win the election that is, and his recent Cristiano Ronaldo shared some inside while watching sports of boxing and I think I also heard he was talking about Manny Pacquaio and he loves Manny for sure, and then comparing their watches at each other while Ronaldo is wearing a Hublot Spirit of Big Bang King Gold Rainbow watch, that is worth $77,000 and Conor McGregor wearing a white gold Chopard L.U.C Tourbillon watch, that is worth $227,000 what an expensive watches they got,

Exactly. Covington is a great example. He went overboard with his trash-talk but didn't deliver in the octagon, now he's looking pretty pathetic and, I'm guessing, he has lost a lot of fans.


Some example of trash-talking gone wrong, and for sure after that fight Colby Covington's career would not be the same again, I am so sorry to say to all Covington fans that Colby Covington doesn't seem to have a bright future anymore after that incident with fighting Leon Edwards he was full of talk and no actions, and even Donald Trump has had enough of his non-sense,


Well, the Sean O'Malley VS Marlon Vera fight is definitely a banger of a fight, and just like you I surely love to see these two fight again and for Marlon Vera to prove that he really defeated O'Malley, or for Sean O'Malley to prove that it was a clear injury and a coincident why he lost to Marlon Vera,


A banger indeed, and that will be on March 09, next year, for that event there is a lot of waiting so for sure the currency fighters might change you will never know if there will be an injury involved or fighter backing out of the fight, and because it is a long wait and we don't have any event for this week, Dana White has a power slap if people wants an alternative thing to watch rather than waiting for the UFC,

Biggest upset today!

Kings fall to the struggling Trail Blazers. Final score 113-130, it was a blowout win by the Trail Blazers, and I'm one of the victims who bet on the Kings thinking they'll get the win and cover the high spread.

Looks like the Kings are tired of playing on the road, LOL... Losing to the Blazers is embarassing, especially that they are building their team to be a playoff team.

It was really a shocker and even for me I was like what has happened looking at the stats for that game I was like even though Domantis Sabonis got a double-double of 12 rebounds and 34 points and De'Aaron Fox got a monster 43 points for this game but it was not enough as the score of the Kings didn't spread for the team while the Trail Blazer did a great thing with this game, as Anfernee Simons, Duop Reath for the 1st time got 25 points for this game as not they have won this game, well good for him for sure,


That's probably it, and you know sometimes even how good a team is, they also have their off night, and it so happened that Sacramento Kings had an off night and Blazers had taken advantage on that. 40% shooting, that's vey high, and it's not surprising at all that the Kings opponnents could shoot at a high percentage since they aren't really a good defensive team, what's lacking on them here is their offense and that's the reason why they loss.

It was really a bad night for the Sacramento Kings as this is a big upset for sure I never expected that the Trail Blazers would have their chance to win and break their consecutive losses for sure there are many who lost their bets because of this, as  was nearly bet for the Sacramento Kings aswell, this is a game last December 27, even Sabonis and Fox had a great night for this game they surely can not win by themselves, as the Trail Blazers have forcefully let those two take the score maybe,


The Detroit Pistons are the laughing stock in the NBA right now for being the worst team in the history of the NBA. They are even being ridiculed that they people don't think they can easily win against the Las Vegas Aces. That next game against the Celtics would be an automatic 28 losses. The Celtics are on fire right now and there's no way they can lose against the worst team otherwise those who take the risk in putting a bet against the Celtics would get a huge win.

I don't know what's going on with the Pistons, I mean they have got young talent. Ivey, Duren, and Cunningham and they even got Bogdanovic who is an offensive threat. I think they need to change the coaching staff.

For sure and I would also bet that the Boston Celtics would surely win this one, but unfortunately, I have seen the odds and it will not be profitable for me to bet on that game so I will pass later I will make my prediction and picks for the games today for the NBA on the betting thread that is,

And Detroit Pistons sure will not have a chance against the Boston Celtics that is for sure upon looking at the stats and who's going to play for the Boston Jaylen Brown has a back injury that enables him to play for the Boston Celtics, for me the Boston Celtics will still win this,

Likewise, I don't have a problem with him fighting in between the main card matches you mentioned at UFC 300, but I'm not very interested. I'm more interested in the standout strikers O'Malley and Marlon Vera, they are the best in their class. Also about what happened between them before. I don't want to focus on UFC 300 for now. I'm sure it will be really difficult before O'Malley can defend that belt against Vera. In their first match at UFC 252, O'Malley injured himself and lost the match. We could not see where the match would go. Now, while O'Malley is trying to defend the belt, the second fight of this fight will take place and will last five rounds.

Yup! Many are just too excited with UFC 300 while we have a great set of cards coming this year, January 13, 2024, UFC Fight Night Ankalaev vs. Walker, even though the undercard is not that great it is not bad aswell the Main event is just juicy Ankalaev and Walker will have their chance, UFC 297 Strickland vs. Du Plessis now this is just a banger of a card main event is such a treat as we got an early press conference for the main event, and now we will see a champion for the UFC Vacant Women's Bantamweight Championship, Raquel Pennington VS Mayra Bueno Silva, for the Co-Main, and the Main Card with Arnold Allen VS Movsar Evloev, then February 3, will be UFC Fight Night Dolidze vs. Imavov as the Main event is against Roman Dolidze VS Nassourdine Imavov, I really think that is  just a great fight to see, Co-Main is special as Renato Moicano will go up against Drew Dober, the UFC 299 O'Malley vs. Vera 2 will be on March 09, 2024 and the UFC 300 is on April 13, 2024, that is a long wait in my opinion,

Actually, if you watch those guys' previous fights you can clearly see that their likely fights are interesting maybe you don't like those guys at all, Aljamain Sterling is going in his  natural weight class I think this is his real plan so he can give Merab Dvalishvili the other division for himself, and Calvin Kattar is a natural striker for sure he is challenged if he can take down Calvin Kattar, for sure the UFC 300 is going to be an interesting one, but yeah Marlon Vera VS Sean O'Malley will be the best card for sure,


I think I will maybe I was just not interested in those cards but the Sean O'Malley VS Marlon Vera will be a banger, we will see if Marlon Vera will win again, or if that 1st win was just a fluke because of the injury, or if Vera can win again so for sure both fighters reputation is on the line, for sure I am really excited to see this but we will got a couple of months before we could see it,

Some match up announcements from the UFC and they're all great.  But what stands out are Brian Ortega vs Yair Rodriguez rematch.  Ortega had a weird shoulder injury during the first fight so it's good if the run it back.  

I also like Robert Whittaker vs Paulo Costa.  They were supposed to fight last April but Costa had to back out due to some illness.  I think this match up could be something like Whittaker's match up vs DDP.  The result could be different tho.  Let's see what kind of improvements Whittaker made for the match.

This next one should've been made a year ago...  Prochazka vs Rakic.  Looks like they're evenly matched imho.  Leaning towards the Rakic side tho.

Announcement from Dana White 11/22/2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR_zchaTM4M

Actually, I like all of it, Yair Rodriguez is back and sure a rematch is a great thing after that shoulder injury, but for sure I am leaning towards Yair Rodriguez in this fight, as Alexander Volkanovski is a big fight he has for sure this Brian Ortega will not be difficult for him in my opinion,

Robert Whittaker is great against Marvin Vettori and so for the Paolo Costa fight I think Whittaker will have the same technique he used towards Marvin Vettori, and that is technical striking, this could be interesting but at the same time there is a hint on who's going to win so the favorite could be Robert Whittaker for sure,

while Prochazka vs Rakic is a good fight aswell and for me I am OK with that match aswell,

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_300 Here are a bit more info of what we gonna see on UFC 300. So far for me every fight looks desired to watch. Just Aljo vs Kattar looks strange, as Kattar is from other division. What is this? After a loss to O’Malley, Aljo desided to move to higher division? And what he expects to achieve there? He is no match for Volk.

Actually, I really don't like what I am seeing, as I am ok with the Jiri Procházka VS Aleksandar Rakić is a good one in my opinion, I don't like the Aljamain Sterling VS Calvin Kattar and the Bo Nickal VS Cody Brundage fight and I never tough that they will be having a fight and next year while they are announcing this early while there are still stacked cards that are about to happen, and I am mostly interested with the Marlon Vera VS Sean O'Malley event than jumping my thoughts with the UFC 300 that still may change,

Many here are talking about the Warriors and other teams, but no one is talking about how the Clippers are playing right now.
Why is that?

I mean they just won against one of the best offensive teams right now in the league Indiana Pacers, and they're currently on an 8 game winning streak. They have a record of 13-2 in their last 15 games, and right now, they are in the top 5 in terms of defense, and offense which is quite rare nowadays. Everybody is talking about Harden and his acquisition, but aside from that, there are 3 reasons that I think the Clippers are playing better right now.

1. Westbrook's adjustment from being a starter to now a bench player. For me, this is the main reason why they're playing better now. 2 ball handlers can't be playing together at the same time, and it's a good thing that he adjusted for the betterment of the team. Now he's mentoring those young players, and he's willing to adjust if that means winning the title... or will they? Cheesy
2. Kawhi and PG are more healthy than they are. F*ck the load management. Now they're playing better already. Kawhi didn't miss any game while PG missed only 1 game. Now look where they are right now. They're better, and I just hope that either one of them will not get injured when the playoff comes.
3. Harden is back to his old self. I believe Harden is starting to come back to his old self already. Not the Harden when he's in the Rockets where he's a scorer, but the Harden we used to see when he was at Brooklyn, and Philly. The passer-type Harden and this is a good thing for the Clippers.

The chemistry is starting to build up already, and we've seen it in their past games. The only question right now is will they sustain this type of performance until the end of the season? If they will play like this all throughout the whole season, I believe they will be at the top 4 at least. Smiley

I agree with you and the Los Angeles Clippers really are looking great well the Russell Westbrook adjustment well it's about time and he then just realized this, and this is the real reason why he was cast out by the Los Angeles Lakers, for being like that but right now it is really a good thing that he adjusted and if the Los Angeles Clippers would be needing him he will surely play great in times that they need him just like when PG and Kawhi can not play,

Speaking of Kawhi Leonard how long he will be playing sure he would devise a great excuse again so he wouldn't play for a couple of games, while Paul George if he can stay healthy, when these two are playing the Los Angeles Clippers is looking like they can not lose a match but because of issues and health problems they are in a pinch because of that

While James Harden is really great when the two Leonard and George are out he has proven that he can sustain the team by himself and he has restarted the time to the James Harden he used to be, I think that is great and with the new players for the Clippers and the advice of Westbrook for the team the Los Angeles Clippers is really looking good this season,


Nah, they won't win against the Brooklyn, they are on the road which they only have won 1 of the 13 games, while the Brooklyn is a pretty decent team with Cam Thomas back in the line up. Honestly, I think it will be a blowout loss again for them, and they don't need to worry about getting roasted by the fans as the fans are not interested in them anymore due to their long losing streak.

And you are right against the Brooklyn Nets that have Mikal Bridge and Cam Thomas look really great and against a team that is in the bottom and only has 2 wins they should be thinking of just quitting for sure as the Brooklyn Nets is a surreal team that can have a great output and with that game from start to finish the Brooklyn Nets is leading all the way, for sure the worst team this season is the Detroit Piston and fans aren't loving it they also made a poster to sell the team instead, that was really cruel hopefully the Detroit Piston will find their way back next season,

For anyone who is often familiar with the Bundesliga competition, it will certainly not be surprising that every season it always belongs to Bayern Munich because this capital team has everything from a clear club structure, good finances, and squad depth that is above average. So that whatever they want each season can always be realized, especially if it's just a matter of defending the title.

But indeed, since Leverkusen's revival this season, the competition has become even hotter because Bayern Munich has been in 2nd place for the last month and they have not been able to overtake Leverkusen considering that Xabi Alonso's squad has not been defeated until now. I think this is what we need so that the competition doesn't get boring and if this competition is still dominated by the same clubs it will definitely be boring.

It is really interesting what is happening right now, for sure there are many that like this kind of Bundesliga, where there is no domination of 1 club, no one-sided game that 1 club will likely win, but in the emergence of Leverkusen some teams depleted their capability in winning and being consistent just like what happens with Dortmund and Leipzig, right now even though it is just 2 teams that are fighting for the 1st position it is still clear that there are other teams that can handle Bayern Munich very well, and threatens them in getting the 1st spot In the Bundesliga and that is the Leverkusen,


That's quite interesting, besides having the same points, the bottom teams also have equal quality so they still have the same chance of getting out of the relegation zone.
What happened to Union Berlin this season was a bit of a surprise because they performed quite well last season but they have dropped significantly this season.

This season is still very long so all possibilities are still possible and I think up to now it is still difficult to predict which team will be relegated.

Union Berlin is depleted to nothingness well it is not really clear why Union Berlin became like this but I think they need to get back into focusing on how they can come back again, actually, Union Berlin still has a good spot they are still not in the Relegation zone, that is Darmstadt, Koln, and Mainz, but if Union Berlin would not get back their pace they will eventually manage to get up a notch, but if they can that and I really doubted that if they can, as looking at what Union Berlin can do they are nothing compared the feats that they are doing last season,
