For sure even if Costa looks more powerful than Whittaker we can not underestimate Robert Whittaker his fight with Marvin Vettori was one of the epic fights in the UFC and with Jared Cannonier or the likes of Kelvin Gastelum, we can be sure that Whittaker is a master of his class.

While I agree Neal Magny's experience is one that should not be taken lightly as far as I know these two have a beef with each other when Garry initially was taking to Magny's kid that Niel was a child abuser, which is not true, for me accusing someone that they didn't do is a big offense.

For me I got Merab Dvalishvili I really think that his cardio is more will do than Cejudo has, and because of their age gap that is 4 years, for me Henry Cejudo because he is not active inside the ring for a  long time I think I will favor Merab Dvalishvili,


Well, I know that the BMF is a special belt but for some like Masvidal, Porier, and McGregor this belt meant something them but it is just a special belt for fighters that don't want that belt or holds real significance to them, but for sure it is one of the additional belt that a fighter can take if you won that fight and that BMF belt is at stake and for some fighters this is a significant something for sure an additional Belt and collection for them.

Well, the stake of Bayern Munich's future is on the line, and right now it is really hard to pick the best interest right now the statement of the CEO is correct the club should give the coach an opportunity in the case of Thomas Tuchel he is still a new coach and still learning the team, as pressuring him to instantly win a game when he is still arranging the teams ups and downs for sure Tuchel could be feeling the pressure that Bayer Leverkusen is giving right now, and I know that Xavi Alonso might be the suitable coach but Xavi Alonso also needed 1 season to adjust in the Bayer Leverkusen club so for sure Thomas Tuchel needed the same treatment.


They surely have the advantage now but there are rumors that Bayern Munich can eventually acquire Xavi Alonso if this happens I really think that Bayern Munich will be on the top again, but for sure the management of Bayern Munich will still give Thomas Tuchel another chance, so this season the Bundesliga will end with Xavi Alonso still in the Leverkusen but next season when the management and Xavi Alonso agrees, Bayern Munich may really acquired Xavi Alonso.

Topuria badly wants to fight the champion Alexander Volkanovski for sure and because of that I really think that Ilia Topuria is ready to fight anyone in my opinion and right now that Alexander Volkanovski has made a mistake I think Topuria will expose this side of Volkanovski, for sure this is going to be an interesting fight and because I think this is going to be an unpredictable fight it could go the other way as if Topuria could be the underdog this is a great chance if you want bet and ready to risk it on Topuria.


UFC 298 is going to be an interesting event for sure I have looked at the fighters that will be fighting in that event and what do you know Paulo Costa will be fighting Robert Whittaker and for that particular fight I think Costa will need to use his all and learned the ground game as this is Whittaker's weakness, we will be having Geoff Neal VS Ian Machado Garry, Merab Dvalishvili VS Henry Cejudo, for me this are the fights that are promising and most fans are expecting to see and very anticipated in seeing for the next UFC event.

I really like to see them try, and I hope he can also play For sure he played 11 minutes the last time so in his next game maybe play him a little more because you can not see the player's potential if you don't play him for a much huge amount of time, for this season, I truly believe that the other Antetokoumpo could have the same genes as Giannis but for sure they can not have everything.


The Celtics did a great job but it was a close game, to say the least, the Boston Celtics had a great 1st half but the Miami Heat rebounded a little in the 2nd half, but the Boston Celtics' lead was really something for them to play through and without Jimmy Butler on the team because he was on leave so Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo was the one that is suppressing the Boston Celtics to move even further, but even though they are pressuring the Celtics while vice versa the Boston Celtics is doing the same thing to Miami Heat.


With just 1 point lead the Golden State Warriors got their win and it was Jonathan Kuminga's game night while Andrew Wiggins was starting to return to his former self, after maybe hearing the rumors that the Warriors are readying to trade him because of his performance was not really that great back then but right now his performance was really returning like his old self was back. if this continues then the Warriors will not need to trade any of its roster.

It was a great win for Jack Hermansson and he schooled Joe Pyfer from that fight he taught him that it is not guaranteed that you have the most powerful punch in the entire UFC because technique and skill are the ones that will make you win a fight, and in this fight, he has shown how great of a deal really is the skill and technique of a fighter than his power alone, and for sure Joe Pyfer's hype was derailed by Jack Hermansson, it was a hyper derailed.


He badly needed a win right now and many fans are really doubting if he can beat Ilia Topuria now that they have seen that he is having a difficult time against Islam Makhachev, well for me actually I think Ilia Topuria is a dangerous opponent against Volkanovski even though this is his weight class for me I think that Ilia Topuria also has a great striking and ground offense and defense that could make Volk falter for me Volkanovski can not underestimate Topuria even though Volkanovski have an experience in fighting in another division he can not let his guard down that is for sure.


We have different views about things and I mean equal rights in society and I still believe that there are things that men can do and women can not do, or vice versa women can do and men can not do, for sure I believe in that and yeah I am not for Banning woman into MMA.

WOW! Talking about returning back the clock after that hilarious game against the Cleaveland Cavaliers getting zero points from that game and even getting ejected out of the game, to returning to his slick movement maybe this is him redeeming himself because of the bad performance on the Cleveland Cavaliers game, but still even though he got great performance and slick moves in the game against the Boston Celtics managed to win that game, with a close score of 133 - 129.


I really think Thanasis Antetokounmpo should have the same training regimen as Giannis Antetokounmpo, and well 11 points might not be that big he is still getting Giannis Antetokounmpo Comparison it is not going to be better for him if fans would compare them, I think heading out and changing his team will show him good respect because he finally manages to leap away from his brother comfort.


Getting the Sarcasm aside well this is the 1st time seeing Thanasis Antetokounmpo making 11 points toward the game, it was really amazing but maybe he is training with his brother who really knows, as all Antetokounmpo brothers are just game fodder or bench warmers but maybe he will change we can surely never know.

Bookies might have considered the losses that Volkanovski attained against Islam Makhachev, but I think they also have considered that Volkanovski is not in the great shape he can be, while Ilia Topuria right now has an undefeated record in the UFC a solid ground game and his striking was really superb, that the likes of Josh Emmett that has a power in his strikes and Ilia Topuria is just a very technical fighter and a very calculative fighter for sure Volkanovski will really need all the knowledge he can get in handling Topuria.
 

I really don't know what has happened to that card why it was canceled then all of a sudden it was OK, this is just my opinion it is all an error on the side that corresponds to who's updating the fights, but it could just been an error.


Well, we both agreed that women's fights are really boring. but I think I am OK for them to fight because I believe in equality for both genders and for them to fight in the UFC or other fighting organizations as well there are some fights that are really boring although there are some that are really great and I am not really bothered watching it, and yes it is indeed additional views for their countrymen and a way for the UFC to grow in some way going to expand a fan base.

It was really anticipated, and many did, it was been a couple of years now since Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev fought was really anticipated by fans, and because both boxers' camps could not make it happen and because of political overview it is always taken out into consideration, but now that there are sponsors and a ready venue for the two to fight then it is likely a great event

For sure this will likely be not just like an Exhibition match this is a real straight-up fight and whoever loses this one will get the L that is for sure as Bivol and Beterbiev both do not have any losses yet, this is going to be the 1st time anyone of them will get it for the 1st time,


Actually, it is still too early, to say the least, the odds can still change as the fight is still on June 1, 2024, and a lot can still happen from that long wait, it is a good thing that you already have your choice for me Dmitry Bivol is a output puncher, he is surely fast with his punches and could surely outburst the fight with his fast output, while Artur Beterbiev is a strong puncher, his punch was precise and got the power in them, his opponent is like hit by a truck when they struck them, for me 1 punch for Beterbiev and the fight is over,

I think the UFC and Dana White are trying their best to make UFC 300 the best event there is this year, but for me, if they want to make this the best event there is why not put a lot of their Main Event in this one event, so it could be a night that will not be forgotten by the audience, maybe if not all fight could be a championship fight maybe the 3 last fights will be a championship fight, and for sure they can also add Adesanya as the main event for this fight unless he is not shaking anymore and had a mental breakdown with Pereira,


I like to bet it riskier and to bet on Underdog and if the Underdog could bear fangs because I think that Ilia Topuria is a dangerous opponent for Volkanovski. and knowing that I think this is a great opportunity for the risk taker in my opinion, and Topuria surely has the potential to prove himself against Volkanovski, I am truly excited about what may happen with this fight,

While the Justin Gaethje VS Max Holloway will still be ongoing and not canceled if you googled it aswell what I find interesting is the Main Event for the UFC 300 was now Weili Zhang VS Xiaonan Yan which it doesn't look great at all for an Anniversary event and the Main Event would be this one, no offense for women fighters but I would like to see an exciting match.

I have just watched the replay and it was really brutal all that have paid and watched the fight surely gave the audience a great experience with this kind of fight Superlek Kiatmoo9's kicks were really explosive you could surely hear the power when they hit Takeru's legs, it was brutal and after that fight the aftermath of the fight Takeru's Leg was brutally bruises, you can clearly see the legs of Takeru Sagawa's damage to his legs, while Takeru Sagawa inside the ring he have shown his boxing prowess he hit Superlek Kiatmoo9 several times that end up with Kiatmoo9 getting groggy with it, but still in the decision Superlek Kiatmoo9 still won the fight that brutal kicks and correct timing with his evade and push was the one that saves him from the brutal punches of Takeru Sagawa,


WOW! It has been a long time since I haven't seen Corey Anderson after his loss to Jan Błachowicz in the event back since UFC Fight Night: Anderson vs. Błachowicz 2, and his great last win in the UFC versus Johnny Walker it was really nostalgic to see him again, after that, I don't know that he shifted to Bellator back then, while Karl Moore has a great 4 consecutive record right now in Bellator and this is his opportunity to fight for the light heavyweight belt after it was vacated by Vadim Nemkov and moving up to the Heavyweight, While I haven't had any idea who is the 2 women fighting at the moment,

10 Rebounds and 21 Points to be precise, right now the Golden State Warriors are creating a new death lineup, and it is sad to say that lineup is without Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney, with his completely progressing skill Jonathan Kuminga is now proving that he belongs to the Main Lineup, and that was a fact right now they really needed him and he is becoming a mini Giannis Antetokoumpo and has almost the same stat as Nikola Jocik for sure many teams will be having a hard time against them, and that new death lineup right now consist of Stephen Curry, Brandon Podziemski, Jonathan Kumingan, Andrew Wiggins, and Draymond Green, Podziemski because even though he is a rookie he got the defense and very much working hard under the rim getting much rebound as he could.


Actually after hearing that he will be traded and getting 21 points right now but for sure the 76ers really need big men that can help a no-Joel Embiid team right now I think the Warriors will not give in Andrew Wiggins right now for me I don't think that the Warriors will be needing a trade right now so for sure the old team for the Warriors will be staying,

Right now for me, there is no trade needed for the Warriors but the Philadelphia 76ers badly need it now, but for sure they will need a replacement if ever Joel Embiid is not around.

I was really busy After 3 months of hiatus from the forum because I was so busy with my work I am now returning with the discussion about the UFC and after watching the highlights of the fights with the recent events I should say I finally caught up with you guys

actually, I have started watching the highlights of the fight between Nassourdine Imavov and Roman Dolidze and I truly noticed the difference between both fighters Nassourdine Imavov was very patient and more of a technical fighter he calculated every move of Roman Dolidze and accuracy he was beast that is why he always gets Roman Dolidze into the corner, while that upcoming fight is really interesting for me not the main event but the Co-main event is the interesting card in this event, but the next event the Alexander Volkanovski VS Ilia Topuria that will be a juicy one,


Right now the odds for Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria are close for us to say who's going to really win, right now Alexander Volkanovski is at 1.82 and Ilia Topuria is at 1.88 as for Sportsbet Odds, where Volkanovski is on a slight favorite for me I like the odds for Ilia Topuria, he can get the championship belt for sure I really feel we will be having a new Champion for the lightweight champion, but surely I don't really want to say that it could be possible because we all know what Alexander Volkanovski is capable of,

UFC FIGHT NIGHT:  DAWSON VS GREEN IS ABOUT TO START.

Here is my bet for this event.

Dawson, Grant vs Green, Bobby Dawson is 4-0 in his last five fights while Green is 2-2 with 1 no contest. Dawson is heavy favorite.

Pyfer, Joe vs Alhassan, Abdul Razak Pyfer is looking to build momentum while Alhassan will try to derail that with his heavy hand. This fight might not take too long to finish.

Morono, Alex vs Buckley, Joaquin  Buckley is the narrow favorite in this fight. Morono is trying to go 2-0 in his new weight class.

Dober, Drew vs Glenn, Rick Dober is notorious for his durability and will be able to show this off against Glenn. I expect this fight to be a war.

Hernandez, Alexander vs Algeo, Bill Algeo is coming off his best performance in the UFC with a second-round submission victory over TJ Brown.

Lins, Philipe vs Cutelaba, Ion

One noticeable update on this patch is that PA is nerfed. So, we will hopefully see less PA in ranked games and maybe on TI. In the recently concluded Dream League, we saw how dominating PA was. The team just has to hold down the opposite team until the late game and PA will eventually take over the game. Even if they are losing in early and mid-game, as long as they are able to survive until the end game, it is a sure win. Team Spirit was able to dominate Dream League with the previous patch, hopefully they can still do it in TI with this patch.

Speaking of TI, we might see a lower Prize pool this year. Currently, the prize pool is still at $2,870,635 which is very low considering that TI will start next week.



Some are already expressing their concerns about the low prize pool of this year's TI.

https://afkgaming.com/dota2/news/loda-expresses-concerns-over-ti-2023-prize-pool-bashes-compendium

They have the right though to have their concerns. For the longest time, TI has always been the biggest tournament of the year. If the prize pool does not grow, TI will be overshadowed by Riyadh Masters which had a $15 Million prize pool this year. Riyadh Master still has plans to improve their E-sports scene which means the prize pool could still increase in the future.

For me, Shavkat Rakhmonov is a hard challenge for Stephen "Wonder Boy" Thompson, a pure striker against a well-rounded Wrestler for sure Rakhmonov is a quality in what he does, but many surely questionable why Thompson accepts this fight well I have seen an article on why did Stephen Thompson, that Thompson accept this because the UFC is doubling his payment when he fights Shavkat Takhmonov, and for this fight Thompson thinks that the UFC is not bribing him for this one,

https://www.mmamania.com/2023/9/26/23891097/stephen-thompson-getting-paid-double-fight-shavkat-rakhmonov-ufc-296-dont-think-theyre-bribing-me


This was surely one stacked event which is why many are talking about this event after seeing this one, I was really amazed at what I saw, and just like you I watched TheWeasle explanation and I surely agree with what he was talking about for sure that Islam Makhachev VS Charles Oliveira fight was the most awaited in this event, actually I am very excited right now,


There are so many Dagestan fighters in this event sure many will be going with the Dagestan and the bookies will also be very favorable in this one for sure, that is why we will be witnessing KO/TKO and Submission in every fight for sure

Khamzat vs Costa is pretty much a curious fight for me, I am curious because I am thinking if Khamzat Chimaev will have a power to carry and takedown Paulo Costa in this fight,

Sometimes it is better to watch smaller leagues like WNBA because you can see the pureness of the game. It is good that WNBA is finally attracting a good number of fans to watch their games.


Those odds. It is very tempting to bet on the underdogs. Sun was able to pull a win against Liberty on the road and it is very likely that they will be able to win the game on their home court. The same with the Dallas Wings. They are a heavy underdog, but they could still pull an upset, especially if they are at home. Guess I will be betting on the underdogs when the line opens.

Team Spirit was one of the surprise teams back then. No one knew them until they won the TI. They are all new and very young players and won the biggest prize pot in DOTA history. I remember I lost a lot of bets because of them. I never expected to beat Team Secret and PSG.LGD back then. But their Magnus strat back then was unbeatable. I think this is the closest they can get to the form they had when TorontoTokyo was still with them.




It is just about time that Larl syncs with the team in terms of chemistry. Team Spirit has been patiently waiting for him to truly show his skills. And in the last two tournaments they had, Larl finally is showing his true skills and synergy with Team Spirit. They are finally ready for TI. I do not think that they will dominate TI but I think the teams that has been dominating DPC this year will have something to fear in TI. GG and Team Liquid better watch their back since Team Spirit is back in their form when they won their TI championship back in 2021.

Here is my bet for the ESL Pro League later.

BIG (2.15) vs Eternal Fire (1.62) BIG can still snatch this game under Eternal Fire even though they are underdog in this game. I think BIG is showing some good games but Eternal Fire is more consistent. Let's see if Eternal can hold their own against BIG.

Complexity Gaming (1.72) vs Monte (2.00) There is no clear winner in this series but I am just betting based on their current rank. MOnte is coming from a win though and Complexity Gaming is from a lost. So, maybe Complexity will exert more effort not to have a back-to-back losses.

Making a bet for the WNBA Round 1 for the 2 games for this team,

Connecticut Sun VS Minnesota Lynx

The Connecticut Sun will have a game against the Minnesota Lynx at Mohegan Sun Arena, right now the Connecticut Sun's key injuries are Brionna Jones (Achilles) who is out for this season, and Bernadett Hatar (Knee) and is questionable if she can play for the Connecticut Sun, while Minnesota Lynx Key injury are Lindsay Allen (Thumb) and is questionable if she can play for the Minnesota Lynx, Jessica Shepard (Ankle) and Natalie Achonwa (Personal) and both can not play for the Minnesota Lynx for this game just like in their 1st game this game will be very dominant again for the Connecticut Sun, actually, I made a huge bet on this just to get back my profit,

Las Vegas Aces VS Chicago Sky

The Las Vegas Aces will have a game against the Chicago Sky at Michelob ULTRA Arena, right now the Las Vegas Aces' key injuries are Riquna Williams (Suspension) and Candace Parker (Ankle) and both can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, while the Chicago Sky Key injuries are Isabelle Harrison (Knee) and Rebekah Gardner (Foot) and both are out for this season and Marina Mabrey (Illness) and is questionable if she can play for the Chicago Sky, for this game, actually, I don't want to bet on this one but this is a sure game as well so I made a huge bet for the Las Vegas Aces as well,

We will see about that later. They are against GG later and that is tough competition. I think GG has good drafting skills, so I do not think that they will allow Sumail to get his comfort heroes or at least they have plans how to counter the heroes of Team Secret. Team Secret has been bad this whole year so I am not expecting anything from them. I will on Gaimin to win the upper bracket finals. And if they meet again in the Finals, I will again bet on GG. No trust in Team Secret at this point.


Looks promising. He is just a loaner. Hopefully, if they are successful in Dreamleague, he becomes permanent in OG.


I wonder how they will determine the participants of the next TI. Are they going back to the old way or there will be a new system in place? That will be exciting.

I actually did not win since it is parlayed with Heroic series which lost. Heroic broke my parlay.

And since ESL Pro will resume in on Wednesday, I am betting on DOTA 2 for the meantime. Bet Boom Dacha is on right now and I have a bet on the last match between TSM and Team Secret. It is BO2 so I bet on a draw. TSM won against Evil Genius yesterday and which should put them ahead, but the addition of Sumail in Team Secret might make Team Secret a good team (even though they were bad the whole year). I think they will be equal and will end the series on a draw.



I got a good start today with a parlay win on the matches earlier. Hopefully, I could end the day with a win in the last series of the day. That would end my day with a bang.
