Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira is the most anticipated fight in the division and after this fight if Adesanya wins he wont be having much of a competition. However considering this to be a stand up battle, even though the momentum is with Israel Adesanya he will be having that two losses in the back of his mind and if Alex Pereira does not force the action, i think this will be another boring slow fight  .

The best fighter ever but hardly comes to fight due to outside antics, such a waste of talent as he never fought like we as a fan wanted during his prime years.

If any project develops a game in the metaverse so that the hardcore gamers want to play that game, then you would see the flourish of the metaverse era, there are currently several projects building towards this theme and once all of those are launched and if any of these projects are able to attract the gamers then it would be a success. I believe a handful of projects will come out with great metaverse games in the near future.

If you are looking for the valuation then i doubt people will be spending huge amounts for the NFT unless it has a real use case purpose of using them in the game as a rare product.

Bangladesh had a good start and they still had wickets in hand and yet they were not able to accelerate the innings and reach a good total, if not for the innings from Mahmudullah, they would not reach the 303 runs. Zimbabwe lost their openers early but Innocent Kaia whom i am hearing for the first time and Sikandar Raza scored centuries each and reached the total easily.

Ireland is coming close to victory even in the last series and they were not able to reach the finish line, it is really disappointing. Against India they came close to win and then against New Zealand they were times even in the ODI they came close to victory and in the T20s against New Zealand and even now against South Africa.

One more match against South Africa and if they win they would level the series and share the trophy. After that they will be playing against Afghanistan.

It is not about the balls of Jake Paul, if he wants to fight anyone contracted to the UFC, he needs to get the permission of Dana White to participate in that event which is highly unlikely because in face value itself it is a big mismatch. Jake Paul is not that big compared to Francis Ngannou and weight division is for a reason  .

That is not true, i believed in this narrative earlier but when Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr two of the so called legit boxers never made it to the scale citing injury and that too Tommy Fury two times and Hasim Rahman who was not willing to cut down from 215 pounds to 205 pounds even with a week left even though Jake Paul allowed to cut down to 210 pounds, he was not willing to cut any weight, bunch of pussies who are scared to even fight a youtuber even after agreeing to fight have no rights to mock him to be frank.

Now i understand why he was signing MMA fighters to fight, if they sign the contract they will come to fight as Chael Sonnen said in his podcast but boxers would challenge and then back out for no reason that could be disclosed. The damage Jake Paul had to compensate by cancelling the event is huge as he had to shell out around a million dollars compensating the undercard and other booking charges including the arena and broadcast partners is huge.

What i heard is that Julianna Peña will be undergoing surgery to reconstruct her damaged forehead, Nunes was able to reserve her energy rather than gassing out and whenever she wanted time, she took her down and controlled the ground game but Julianna Peña had her in multiple submission attempts but was not able to complete them. One of the best Woman's fight this year.

I thought it was an early stoppage, Derrick Lewis was under heavy fire and he went to the ground and not face planted and definitely not unconscious because he stood up the next second and there were fights where he used to come back from behind and win fights, so the referee should have waited more rather than calling off the fight .

Means they only prefer to play the big matches and are not available for selection all the time which will not help the team and without match practice they will not be able to perform like a team if their star players are planning to play only in the World Cup.

Like everyone else i am also a big admirer of Smriti Mandhana and her stroke play and another player that got my attention is Renuka Singh with her bowling, i am watching these matches as i am placing bets on these matches and it is good so far even though the odds are not that great.

Pathetic performance by England, i was expecting England to win the match and the series but they just played the worst match in a long time and South African bowlers dominated them especially Tabraiz Shamsi.

With the way the match was progression everyone thought it was a low scoring match, but after loosing the first 5 wickets, Scotland middle and lower order changed the match at a good strike rate and i was worried that New Zealand would loose the match as the players are fairly young in their International career even though they have the batting depth. Hopefully New Zealand would chase this without any hiccup as i do not want to loose my parlay  .

There was a lot of debate whether this would be the first career loss for Jake Paul as he is fighting a real boxer in Hasim Rahman Jr and now the real boxer backed out of the fight even with the leverage and this will not harm the reputation of Jake Paul. Two boxers pulled out of the fight against an Youtuber which gives him the hype.

Personally i do not want to see Jake Paul fighting Conor McGregor as they are completely different weight class and Conor would not stand a chance against Jake Paul.

Amanda Nunes fought really well this time and the only doubt i had in this fight was she changed her team and started her own gym and i was not sure about her preparations and her wrestling was on point in this fight as she was able to take down Julianna Peña at will and was able to control her. But the highlight was the toughness of Julianna Peña, she was knocked down 5 times and still she kept coming back which shows how strong and tough she is when Amanda Nunes was able to stop Holly Holm and Cris Cyborg and many other with her power punches.

Reward looks good to cripple Russian Political leaders, but if they are doing anything of that sort they should have done without announcing them. Russia is known to carry on these hacks and the rumour is that hackers have political support to carry on attack against other countries and will never accept that they have done them and that is what any digital espionage should be and not by announcing them in public.

What happens if Russia does the same to Ukraine before they even get someone taking the bounty  .

So there is a new rule for slow over rate, that is good move so that Captains will not delay proceedings in crunch situations. I wanted to know whether Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard are injured and missing out the tournament or they are taking rest so that they could play in the World Cup. Not sure if it is the latter it is a great move for the team  .

Zimbabwe won the first T20 against Bangladesh which was surprising, i wonder how Zimbabwe would perform against the current West Indies team .

When India won the 1983 World Cup, BCCI did not get tickets to watch the final match and with the help of the then government and the sponsorship of Ambani, India along with Pakistan was able to bring the World Cup out of England in 1987, if not England and Australia dominated Cricket and they never bothered about other countries. BCCI especially Salve who was the BCCI president then was determined to take the power of the ICC away from England and they have done that because they were humiliated by the ICC in rejecting two tickets requested by the BCCI to watch the 1983 Finals.
So anyone crying about the powers in Cricket, check out the history and then cry about it  .

When Sri Lanka won the 1996 World Cup majority of the players were sponsored by Arjuna Ranatunga who i consider as one the greatest captains in World Cricket and ICC did not shower them money, from minnows to World Champions were their sole hard work and many of the players during that period was staying with Arjuna Ranatunga because they did not have a place to stay nor the money. So to cry about other nations are not developing Cricket because ICC is not helping is just bullshit. The board has to take the initiatives to find talents or you need a captain that could take that role to develop the quality of players and you cannot expect anyone to bring everything in a golden platter.
 

The fact is Khamzat Chimaev was calling out Nate Diaz long back in social media asking to fight him and see who is the real gangster and Nate and Nick Diaz will not back down any challenge and when Dana White was looking for an opponent, i am sure Nate Diaz wanted to take on Khamzat Chimaev
for his final fight because he was calling him out rubbing his ego the wrong way and both agreed to fight. If not Khamzat Chimaev is near a title shot and there is no way Dana White could force Nate Diaz to take this fight as he rejected many fights in the past.

The team batting first have won the matches in the first two matches and i think that the same would happen in the final decider as well. Both the team have some great strikers but England is the favorites because they are playing in their home ground.

West Indies is struggling in T20 as well which is really disappointing. I wonder where are their T20 experts and why are they not in the team preparing for the World Cup .

If he is following the updates till now with an alt account which is highly unlikely, he would come revealed himself rather than monitoring everything behind closed doors. He chose to remain silent and as long as he wants to be in that space, there is no point in discussing about him coming back as the project has moved on in his absence for a decade and but i understand that the hunt for finding out the creator will never end .

You can fork them how many times you want but the people behind the coin are still the same and knowing the big mess they created it is foolish to invest in anything they run to be frank. I would suggest any new investor to stay away from them and not to invest any dime in them, not sure why people would invest in them again, so that the developers would make more money .

The difference in the match was Prabath Jayasuriya and Ramesh Mendis in the match, as they are wicket takers and even in the last day the odds were expecting that Pakistan could bat the entire day and both the Sri Lankan spinners were bowling really well and was picking up wickets. The other aspect is that the Pakistan bowlers were unable to restrict and pick wickets even when Sri Lankan middle order players were at the crease. Literally they outplayed in this match.

The ground was really small and before the match everyone was expecting Martin Guptill to clear the boundaries easily and would score a century but Finn Allen went on to score his maiden century in T20.

England and South Africa are live and it is a huge total for South Africa to chase but what is positive for South Africa is that they found Tristan Stubbs who is clearing the boundary with ease and this is the first time he is batting for South Africa and he will be a future prospect in the franchise cricket in the future with the way he is clearing the boundaries easily.

It all depends upon your purpose of life, if you want to live a life where you want to save money and then spend during your old age and that is how majority of the earlier generation used to do and at the end of the day their health will not help either if you want to explore. I do make these expenses as i am living life and i do spend money if it makes me happy and nothing else  .
