Just like what I predicted, it's either a Knockout or a Submission with Shavkat Rakhmonov. That dude is indeed paving his way to be the next champion of their weight class. Very soon Leon Edwards will meet this guy and I am now having doubts that he can retain his belt when they clash. There's no question now on why he is the most hype fighter in their division, his strength is just too much, he can even climb another weight and might still dominate it there. I mean, he is big and it's possible and he might do it someday.

That was a good strategy, he drained the gas tank of Wonderboy in the first round and I was surprised Thompson could not get out of the clinch of Nomad.
The second round was fun. Rakhmanov's corner told him not to clinch but to fight him through boxing. He didn't listen, he clinched again and found his position to ground and pound Thompson. He is like a snake coiling around the body of Thompson. He preserved that position until he got his chance for a submission.
Unlucky Thompson, 4 seconds are remaining on the clock and he could've survived that round and gotten a chance on the 3rd round.
Shavkat took the safest path through wrestling and he is the first one to submit Thompson. Nice!

I agree that Shavkat Rakhmonov is a huge guy who surely can also move in a higher weight class with no problem just like Alex Pereira, I think that he can also become a champion in the future and has a chance of having 2 belts in the same time I thought that Khamzat Chimaev can do it, but his situation right now I don't know if he can have a decent performance after his fight against Kamaru Usman which am I also having doubts aswell, for sure Shavkat Rakhmonov will just plow to this division and can move up if given some special attention of the UFC,

But clearly, Shavkat Rakhmonov just wants it slowly but surely and wants to take his time in getting into a title fight, and for sure just like Chimaev Rakhmonov is really something that can have a different strategy than his corner strategy,

UFC 296 was a good way to end the year of 2023 with a bang!
Even fireworks in the crowd with DDP getting jumped by Strickland and the aftermath of that brawl. I think I even seen Dana trying to hold back Dricus during the whole incident. Doesn't it make it look more like WWE now? Jeezus christ!
Full video of the fight and Dricus telling his side of what transpired during this whole incident:
Dricus Du Plessis tells Sean Strickand to work on his composure after fight in crowd | ESPN MMA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7j7sdIwxdE

I really like the bang type of this with the UFC 296, but having a fight during a fight event with Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis is something for sure that will get a lot of hype, and as Dana White has said he is an a**hole in giving Sean Strickland a seat near Dricus du Plessis and I am thinking it could a for the hype and Sean Strickland landing those punches that could not hurt even a mice should award best acting, well, this is just my opinion with what happen,

Here is a video of Sean Strickland of course talking even more out of his ass than usual:
Sean Strickland THRASHES Colby Covington for his pathetic Performance, DDP rips Strickland UFC 296
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR5TZ1NVzhA

A classic Sean Strickland trash-talked but when Dricus du Plessis is talking about Sean Strickland's past it surely hit a nerve on him to be so worked up like that telling Sean Strickland a bad memory of his,

@Hanadawa. I speculate that El Cucuy is not only having mental problems. He might be also having financial problems. This is only speculation from be, however, this case of drunk driving is very strange for someone like Tony. He wasnever mentioned to be a drinker and one day we witness that he got into an accident because he was drunk?

I reckon the UFC might be only giving him a slot to fight because he needs money. Uncle Dana has said that he needs to retire already.



UFC fighter Tony Ferguson was taken into custody after allegedly crashing his truck into two parked cars before it flipped over during the early hours of Sunday morning.

Street footage from L.A. shows the 39-year-old's vehicle capsized to its left side at around 2 a.m. near a club in Hollywood. The former interim UFC Lightweight champ' is believed to not have suffered any injuries, L.A.P.D. confirmed to DailyMail.com


Source https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ufc/article-12056737/UFC-Tony-Ferguson-arrested-suspicion-drunk-driving-crashing-truck-two-cars.html


Also, it will not be shocking if he had more problems in his home life.

This is El Cucuy's wife. I will not trust her with her own cellphone hehehehehheee.



That is an accusation that we are giving to El-Cucuy's wife but for sure it is something that may happen and may not happen at all, even though Cristina Servin is the one that done such things we can not say that she is doing something against Tony Ferguson's back this is his wife for sure she will do what if best for her family and that is for sure is it, and for sure she has Tony Ferguson's beautiful kids I really don't want the kids to really suffer just because of what their parent did wrong if El Cucuy's is having a problem with his wife then that is their problem

This time all the fighters favored by the bookies won their fights. I mean of course the top three games. But I also see that Edwards, Pantoja and Shavkat really have a good chance of beating their opponents. Even though Colby looks convincing, he is not the Colby Covington he used to be. This can be seen from his physique, which looked fatter than Edwards that night. The fight that surprised me was Pantoja vs Rovyal because I didn't expect Rovyal to be able to give an intensive fight. I think there will be Pantoja vs Rovyal III in the future.

For sure all of those fights are amazing, actually, I got all of my bets and all winning statuses, I am not convinced about Covington in that fight Leon Edwards fainting was great but the only thing that I think Leon Edwards did wrong here is to engage a takedown against Covington as this has given a round to Colby Covington, but Convington have done wrong in this fight was to engage with Edwards great striking, for sure Donald Trump wasn't really happy about the fight,

It's not even about age. Just look at a real legendary fighter Cro Cop. He had a few fights between 2016 and 2018 when he was 42-44 years old and won every single one ending his career with a streak of 9 wins. Tony's mind is the problem. I heard he's depressed, probably even suicidal. His early wins built him up too much and when losses started coming he couldn't handle it. His ego destroyed his chances of winning, that's how I see it and his career is over. I don't think he's going to come back from this and maybe it's for the better.

Actually, I have seen a great performance by Tony Ferguson even though it is not a win for him withstanding against a young Paddy Pimblett is something with his age is something great and for sure if the fight continues I think Tony Ferguson will eventually win that match, but it was a really close match and Ferguson will be needing help from his mindset and having a mental issue is something serious but I am really confused by it, as he hired David Goggins in improving his mindset which for sure there are a lot of positive views for Tony Ferguson in this fight,

No offense to Warriors fans but that was a long time ago. The efficiency of Draymond Green in terms of defense way back during the Warriors rode to stardom isn't present now. Draymond Green is proven to be useless without the Splash brothers alongside the court. It does mean that he's not perfectly blend well to other Warriors players.

Regardless if he's going to be ban or not, the Warriors defense are just on usual and will just follow Kerr's mechanism. Regarding on that recent flagrant incident involving him, I really don't understand why he never changed since then lol. He's now becoming a veteran player at least he should show maturity on the court.

For sure Draymond Green deserves Punishment because of what he did with all of the fiasco he has recently, the Sabonis Stomping, the Gobert headlock, and the Nurkic's hitting, he really deserves it and I agree that he should be mature enough to accept all of those what the other players is doing against him and you are right as a veteran he should be the one to adjust with the situation,

But does that get him to accept all of those offensive things that the other players are doing, maybe? for me, the NBA should also see the little things that are happening as well,

The interesting thing to me about Draymond Green’s suspension is that it is indefinite. I can’t recall ever seeing the NBA do this type of suspension before. I think it’s a good thing as long as he doesn’t come back next week and I think it shows the league actually cares about his mental health a bit. I also think if they suspended him longer for the Gobert choking, this may have been avoided.

For some reason, people are now pointing out the mental health of Draymond Green because I think many just want Draymond Green to not return as the Golden State Warriors are still in the 5th spot of the most defensive play a team in the NBA, and for sure if the defense of the Warriors gets depleted because of Draymond Green's suspension I think the other teams would surely like that to happen,

My pick and prediction for the UFC 296: Edwards vs. Covington

Leon Edwards (1.61) VS Colby Covington (2.33) - WIN


There are a lot of factors why Colby Covington lost this fight but Leon Edwards was very technical moving forward in getting Covington, you can clearly see Edwards faints, and for sure his composure is there while getting Covington, those takedown attempts of Covington was no used to Leon Edwards takedown defense for sure there is no way for Covington to takedown and scramble against Leon Edwards and this is a win for Leon Edwards,

Alexandre Pantoja (1.49) VS Brandon Royval (2.65) - WIN


Even though this fight ended with a decision win over Brandon Royval, and it was a masterful class performance for Alexandre Pantoja, for sure even in a rematch with Brandon Moreno I think Moreno will have a hard time against him, Brandon Royval could have the striking output but Alexandre Pantoja has dominated the wrestling, as Pantoja throws 14 takedowns and 8 or it was successful and he also got 1 submission attempt that scores him big in this fight, while Royval throw 1 takedown and it was failed,

Stephen Thompson (5.40)VS Shavkat Rakhmonov (1.15) - WIN


Shavkat Rakhmonov really outclassed Stephen Thompson you can clearly see from this fight that it was really a one-sided fight as in terms of striking Rakhmonov has the output and the speed was really great that Thompson all they did was to defend, Shavkat Rakhmonov throws 5 takedowns and 2 submission attempts and it ended in a rear naked choke win for Shavkat Rakhmonov,

Leverkusen finished ahead with 1 goal in the first half. Generally speaking, we are not watching very active football, there has not been much work for goalkeepers so far. We watched a few positions, but in a normal match there would have been many more goal attempts, the teams seem to be playing a little cautiously.
I think Leverkusen can score 1-2 more goals in the second half of the match, Leverkusen will win this match Smiley

Leverkusen got a masterclass performance against Eintracht Frankfurt with a 3 - 0 lead it was a win for Frankfurt, Leverkusen has now 39 points and is leading the Bundesliga while even though they are leading in the Bundesliga now they can not be comfortable with that lead as Bayern Munich also have a win over Stuttgart with 3 - 0 as well, but Leverkusen was so dominant with the game as they have managed to do the same with Frankfurt,

Yes I see Bayern Leverkusen scoring more goals in this game. They are currently leading with 2 goals and they are going to win this game. They have to win the game so that they win continue to exert their authority in the league table.

Just I wrong move for Bayer Leverkusen and they will surely get it, as Bayern Munich is not that behind, and those 2 goals are just that and Bayern Munich still has a chance to get the lead against Leverkusen, so for sure they still have a chance to lead but that is if Leverkusen got some mistakes along the way and this is an opportunity for Bayern Munich,

I don't know what Jon Jones was thinking. He has everything to be the strongest but yesterday he didn't seem like he wanted to fight Ngannou. His match against Cyril Gane was extraordinary because Gane is also a new UFC prospect. But we all know Gane has many flaws with his wrestling. Dan Jones beats Gane with wrestling/lockdown. The fight against Miocic is entitled goat vs goat but as I said, currently Miocic is no longer the goat in the heavyweight class. Did Jones pick Miocic because he would claim to be the guy who beat Goat when we know it would be an easy win?

And he may never have a fight against Francis Ngannou even though they would want to fight each other they can not clash inside the octagon as Francis Ngannou is now on PFL and has an issue with Dana White, so there will be no chance for us to witness those 2 fight but If Jon Jones retired and go to the PFL then we might have a chance on witnessing this 2 fight,



My pick and prediction for the UFC 296: Edwards vs. Covington

Leon Edwards (1.65) VS Colby Covington (2.42) - WIN


There are a lot of factors why Colby Covington lost this fight but Leon Edwards was very technical moving forward in getting Covington, you can clearly see Edwards faints, and for sure his composure is there while getting Covington, those takedown attempts of Covington was no used to Leon Edwards takedown defense for sure there is no way for Covington to takedown and scramble against Leon Edwards and this is a win for Leon Edwards,

Alexandre Pantoja (1.54) VS Brandon Royval (2.70) - WIN


Even though this fight ended with a decision win over Brandon Royval, and it was a masterful class performance for Alexandre Pantoja, for sure even in a rematch with Brandon Moreno I think Moreno will have a hard time against him, Brandon Royval could have the striking output but Alexandre Pantoja has dominated the wrestling, as Pantoja throws 14 takedowns and 8 or it was successful and he also got 1 submission attempt that scores him big in this fight, while Royval throw 1 takedown and it was failed,

Shavkat Rakhmonov (1.17) VS Stephen Thompson (6.00) - WIN


Shavkat Rakhmonov really outclassed Stephen Thompson you can clearly see from this fight that it was really a one-sided fight as in terms of striking Rakhmonov has the output and the speed was really great that Thompson all they did was to defend, Shavkat Rakhmonov throws 5 takedowns and 2 submission attempts and it ended in a rear naked choke win for Shavkat Rakhmonov,

Not lucky enough for today bud. I won my first bet today, the Celtics are still unbeatable when playing in their arena.

I also bet on Miami, but they lost in their own arena to the Bulls. I am losing faith in this team. Perhaps they are just better during the playoffs because we can see the best of Playoff Jimmy.

In the Minnesota Timberwolves VS Dallas Mavericks match we have the opposite pick. The Mavericks depend on Luka to perform, the TWolves are less reliant on a single player.

Good luck with your TBlazer bet. They are at home but it did not reflect on their previous matches. Jazz is having a nice lead in the halftime.

Yup! It was a bad day, and I am surely feeling frustrated seeing the result and I surely admit it, that is why I haven't made any bets for the following games I feel like I lost a lot in this game not getting even 1 win is hard but the games right now are unpredictable actually I have thought that the following games would win because of the main player's injuries but it was clear that all was a close game and pretty much it never ends up in the way that I expected it,

^^ It's really unpredictable games, specially the Heat vs Bulls, when we think that the Heat is going to win at home. But the Bulls come in strong in the first quarter and building a solid lead. But I thought that my bet has still a chance as I put on the Heat my handicap.

However, it seems that the Heat doesn't have the legs specially in the 4th.

Same with Luka, when Exum has a solid game against the Lakers, but against the Wolves, he as check and they just rely on Luka. But his 39 points and 13 assists was not enough.

Never expected that to happen but still, it was a close game, and well the Miami Heat also had a struggle way to the finals last season, but this time maybe the emo hair of Jimmy Butler could be to blame for not getting much points it was covering his eyes that much, but it will surely depend on him if that could be a problem or not, but it is still hilarious seeing his emo hair like that,

Boston Celtics (1.30) VS Orlando Magic (3.70)


  • Boston Celtics Injury List

Dalano Banton (Illness/ Game Time Decision)
Luke Kornet (Thigh/ out until at least Dec 23)

My Picks and Prediction for the UFC 296: Edwards vs. Covington

Leon Edwards (1.61) VS Colby Covington (2.33)


Going for this fight Leon Edwards has the technical aspect of striking while for me Colby Covington's Striking is not that great in terms of the wresting game Colby Covington is superb in this game but for me, Leon Edwards can counter with his takedown defense as for sure he has already prepared on this back when he fights Kamaru Usman, and on their 1st fight he is good at getting Usman in the scramble so for sure his wrestling has also improved so for me Leon Edwards is very well-rounded so for sure my pick is Leon Edwards,

Alexandre Pantoja (1.49) VS Brandon Royval (2.65)


This fight, is also their rematch and a title shot for Royval, for this fight, Alexandre is pretty much good with the wrestling game, and for sure his grappling is also what he has beating Brandon Moreno, so with that in mind, Pantoja has a bigger chance, while I don't know if Brandon Royval has improved much during back then when they fight but for sure Alexandre Pantoja is a stud in this fight so my pick is Alexandre Pantoja

Stephen Thompson (5.40)VS Shavkat Rakhmonov (1.15)


For this one, Stephen Thompson has great striking, and for sure he has prepared his standing defense for this fight, as he also got a decent one, apparently Shavkat Rakhmonov is pretty much well-rounded in my opinion, he surely got the option of choosing how he could defeat Thompson whether it is on strike because he got power or submitting Stephen Thompson on this fight so my pick is Shavkat Rakhmonov,

Have you heard of the lately and greatest thing in the meme space today?
BONK run on the Solana blockchain.
Not sure if this has to do with BRC-20 tokens as I have not followed the Solana technology at all. Since FTX and their blockchain going down multiple times. Only blockchain that is secure is BTC.
Remember this number one law of the blockchain.
But it must be making moves in the cryptocurrency space. Solana came out with a phone and it sold out due to them airdropping this BONK token on every phone that from today's markets is worth more than buying than the phone itself. So those who managed to get one got paid to purchase this phone.
They were selling out within hours of multiple units in a course of being released yesterday.
Now that is a way to sell a product in the cryptoverse.

Actually, this is the 1st time I have seen this BONK token but after seeing how it moves and how it dips it is surely Amazing now because I have seen that many buyers of BONK when it dips are now getting profited and it is crazy hearing that but this is just a meme coin that doesn't have any possibility of reaching the price of Bitcoin and that is for sure,

Solana technology is something really well-known right now, for sure those phones are not any other Android phones and that is called the Solana Saga that phone is like a cold wallet that is living inside the phone but a cold wallet that can be used for a transaction using just a finger print and that is called the seed vault for sure it is not like the other phones but it got to build in a cold wallet that is why it is really unique, while it looks amazing it only runs on Solana blockchain so maybe a $1000 USD price tag for this phone now it is $600 USD now, it is really worth it if the Blockchain is just Solana,

I can not see any intense something about Tony Ferguson at all but if you are talking about the tattoos on his back maybe that was the 1 that might have looked intense in my opinion anyway I really wish Tony Ferguson would win this and that David Goggins could help him both Physically and Mentally and because Paddy Pimblett is already exposed I sure think that he has a chance but he can not underestimate the baddy for sure,


Maybe I am seeing an intense aura something on Tony Ferguson but anyway, this kind of Tony Ferguson even though in his old age there is still some intimidation towards him and for me, Ferguson is just like that but I agree that Ferguson can not underestimate Pimblett even though he was exposed back on his fight with Jared Gordon maybe Tony Ferguson may have a chance but still I am not taking a chance for betting on this fight,

Actually, Colby Covington's comments on Leon Edward's father were really another level down, and looking at him he is remorseless in what he has said about it I really think he has already gone down that path where he doesn't care at all just to make a trash talk, but here is some MMA fighters tweets and what they think about Colby Covington,







Yeah too right @YuginKadoya !

They had a UFC 2024 Season Press Conference right before the ceremonial one for this UFC 296 event earlier in the evening last night.
It showed several fighters on the panel facing off against their opponents towards upcoming main event fight cards for the 2024 season:
UFC 2024 Season Press Conference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVtJoje20vM

The oddest press conference ever shown was this one with Dricus and Strickland.
Just to get a handle of what went on during their heated discussion TheWeasle has a great breakdown:
Dricus was BRUTAL...Sean Strickland gets HEATED (UFC Press Conference Reaction)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf_I08HV0pU

The final weigh-ins of the year was last night too and I think everybody made weight for once! Cheesy

Here are the one you have all been waiting for:
UFC 296: Ceremonial Weigh-Ins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llwA7Nfyya8

Yup! It is one weird Press Conference and for sure it is to hype the fight even more, I think that the UFC is one juicy event to seeing
the UFC 297 Sean Strickland VS Dricus du Plessis, UFC 298 Alexander Volkanovski VS Ilia Topuria, and UFC 299 Sean O'Malley VS Marlon Vera, for the future fights for the UFC, was a great juicy fight that the UFC has brought us up to March 09, 2024 and after seeing this I get excitements getting into my spine so for sure many fans could feel the same way just like I did,

152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 16, 2023, 10:16:56 AM

^ Even though Tony Ferguson was definitely one of the best fighters in the whole world, right now that is something of the past. Now he is not as good as he was anymore. We all know that he got a bad beating once and from then he has not been the same since. Other hand Paddy Pimblett is very young and energetic. Trust me, I do not want to say that Tony Ferguson is going to lose this fight. But at this moment it is very hard to trust him as well. But at the same time, if he does have a good fight, it is definitely not going to be surprising.

I think I will pass betting on the Tony Ferguson VS Paddy Pimblett fight at least just to focus on things in the main event for me the 3 main fights are what I want to see on this fight card for sure later I will post my prediction and what I think about the fight but with the Tony Ferguson and the Paddy Pimblett fight I am not so sure about it so I think I will support Tony Ferguson silently in the sidelines, for me I really want him to win but in his case, it is better for him to retire after this fight,


Actually, everyone on this topic wants Ferguson to win and have been cheering and praying for that all his last fights Cheesy I really felt sorry for him and it has started to be hard to watch him fighting after that KO via front kick to chin. If a miracle did not happen, this is going to be Tony's 7th lost in a row. Imho,if Tony wants to continue fighting so badly, the best solution would be moving to other promotion. Or he should move to prelims or early prelims and face fighters of a lower level.

I actually want Tony Ferguson to win this and will be cheering him but I am staying away from the betting that is for sure, I surely want to see the action for that fight because that will truly be a banger as Paddy Pimblett is also not a joke and now that he is exposed he surely is returning ready for this fight against Tony Ferguson but if he is underestimating Ferguson so much and he just eats and gets fat then slim down that will be a chance for Ferguson to win but still betting for Ferguson is a risk so staying away with this fight,

UFC 296: Edwards vs. Covington Media Day Live Stream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2upUAx41EY

Tony Ferguson just took up the mic and talking about his fight against Paddy the baddy Pimblett.


Tony Ferguson is talking crazy and sure when he sits down he looks extremely energetic but there is something in him that makes the place intense for sure, and looking at him quite really intense just by looking at him, and for sure he said that he doesn't care about anybody, and he isn't spitting anything about his training and what he does in the past thing he does with his training, but for sure because of David Goggins he was more positive for sure and in this interview, he has shown it, and enjoying this just like he has said,


Indeed people are very hyped for edwards vs covington and i saw some comments about possibly fight to not go the distance @ 2.33 being a good play.

Regarding Rakhmonov



He has 4 submission finishes so far out of his 5 UFC fights.
Him to win again by submission is 2.05 odds which i dont think is worth the short odds, him winning by KO/TKO @ 3.85 might be a better play odds wise.

Other then this , Paddy vs tony will probably be the most entertaining fight as expected. 1.63 odds for not going to distance is a pretty nice play as well IMO


For sure that was a real consistency for Shavkat Rakmanov he was really a perfectionist in his art and that KO win could also be a Submission win but for sure there is a pattern in what he does so if the pattern was right KO/TKO would be the right choice but if he doesn't care about the pattern for sure it could also go with the Submission, for sure that was a great observation and a real treat in getting into betting with this,


There was an announcement yesterday that Garry would not be fighting in his match and Belal might be fighting Luque instead. Since he was the backup fighter in the first place. There was some talk I listened to while watching some update videos and according to the sources there might be some reshuffling of the contenders during the course before the fights happen.
So who knows what at this point.


I also have seen the news that  Ian Machado Garry is pulling out because of Illness, but I haven't seen that Belal Muhhamad will be the backup fighter for this fight, but for sure if that was real then Vicente Luque deserves a fight and pretty much needed a fight because he has prepared a lot for this fight against Machado Garry and he is just not making the fight and missing the fight for sure, so for sure give him Belal Muhammad on this one,

To be fair, I'm glad he didn't retire just yet and I really like the match-up against Paddy. I don't think we realise how hard it is to quit something you love and you've been doing all your adult life. If Tony feels he still has it in him and the people want to watch that (I do) then let him. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise everyone and will bounce back.
My money would be on Pimblett but it might not be an easy fight.


I just learnt that Strickland will be fighting DuPlessis in January. That's another interesting fight that could go either way, but I slightly favour Sean.

I am really having doubts about Tony Ferguson don't get me wrong, if you really like Tony Ferguson for sure you don't want him to get hurt even further, I say that the new trainer of Tony Ferguson David Goggins last time I checked was a trainer to get your mindset fixed if that was the case for sure it could be helpful to make Ferguson enlighten with his decision and I think this is to enhance his further durability that he can get his opponent and for sure Ferguson doesn't really have an issue with his stamina but I really don't know if this could be helpful with Ferguson beating Pimblett right now I don't really expect Ferguson to bounce back although I like him to win this fight,

That Sean Strickland VS Dricus du Plessis fight is surely an anticipated one, we will surely see if Sean Strickland has the defense to conquer the striking of du Plessis, and for du Plessis to penetrate the defense of Strickland,

I would got with DDP. People say that Strickland got his belt by accident, but Du Plessis is just a phenomenon in middleweight. His striking is something hard to describe. There are not specific fighting style in his striking. He is just like... Imagine you are at redneck disco, everyone got drunk and a fight starts. You swing and throw hands everywhere, on any angle, any speed, any power. You get yourself hit with a log, mugs got smashed on your head, but you stay like that is nothing. Then you throw a right backfist under your knee and land it left side of opponents temple, and knock him down. That is the style of Du Plessis. He is like bull that only goes forward and dont have reverse gear. Block everything with open head, strike like heavyweight and one could read where his strike would go from.


I agree Dricus du Plessis has phenomenal striking and yes even I had a hard time getting into it, and his fight with Adesanya if that continued I really don't know who I am going to bet, for sure because these two got a monster of a striking and for sure that will be an epic of a fight but I am not sure if that would be great for du Plessis if he can get into Strickland's defense,

Chaos versus Rocky.
This will absolutely be a fun night in UFC 296.
Here is the countdown.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqdG2xqdqk


My instincts tell me I have to bet for Leon Edwards but Covington as a former Interim Welterweight champion is so hungry that he will do everything to win the belt being held by Edwards. It is hot. Trash-talking is up and threats are high.  Cheesy
Here are the odds for the upcoming fights.
Edwards, Leon @1.65
Covington, Colby @2.36

It's not that bad if you win betting for Edwards so I am thinking about sticking with him and maybe getting the headshot kick.

Other fight cards are also not to be missed.
Pantoja, Alexandre @1.56
Royval, Brandon @2.60

Thompson, Stephen @5.40
Rakhmonov, Shavkat @1.18

Damn, this fight card is filled with fighters where we will probably see KO's and submission.


Actually, Leon Edwards is more convincing in winning this fight than Covington but you are right in saying that Colby Covington is more hungry than Edwards so yeah Leon Edwards can not let that and underestimate Covington, because that will not be good for him if he let that happen, and that trashy talking of his can surely get into the head of some fighters, but Colby Covington will do everything he can to win this fight as Donald Trump will surely watch this live,

Alexandre Pantoja intrigues me a lot but he has those records for nothing and at 1st you can not see how he managed to get into Brandon Moreno but for this fight maybe Brandon Royval will need to take this to another level,

While Shavkat Rakmonov was really a monster I don't know why Stephen Thompson accepts this one, but it is also intriguing to see what Stephen Thompson can do against Shavkat Rakmonov, well yes he looks like a beast but he is still human and can be defeated, for me at least that could be a great mindset for the meantime,

Seeing this video of Joe Rogan I was really sad looking at the Tony Ferguson movement really changes over the years for sure his body can not keep up now with what his brain wants him to do, and it is just so sad that Paddy the Baddy will just crush him inside the ring and if you look back on the recent fights of Khalil Rountree Jr. versus Anthony Smith you can say it was like a different thing as Smith is just 35 years old while Ferguson is at 39 now, but Anthony Smith is now a different fighter and for sure he needs to think about this he is nearing retirement,

Congratulations! You picked well and won three games today. I am not feeling well and I only managed one bet on Denver Nuggets.

Jamal Murray played. And thankfully it was the right decision because he led his team in scoring in what I assumed would be an easy win. But Atlanta thrilled its home fans when the match became closer. After a 15 point lead, it was trimmed down to 4, courtesy of two threes from Bogdanovich within a minute. That was almost able to alter the outcome of the match. It was a disheartening night for Bogdan Bogdanovich who scored 40.



Thanks! It was just luck actually I just did a little research for this game their winnings and losses, and injuries, and the odds have something that has taken the idea to make a bet but yeah for those games I chose it was really predictable, but I haven't made a bet for games yesterday and today, I totally missed the games yesterday and my deposit hasn't arrived yet so I haven't made a bet for today, but for sure will be going with the tomorrow games,

Jamal Murray has played for the Atlanta Hawks game but he didn't play against the Chicago Bulls game while Nikola Jokic just played 16 minutes for that game maybe they have let him rest for this game, but yeah Bogdan Bogdanovic has a great game but the Atlanta Hawks still lost this game, so it was really a sad day for Bogdan Bogdanovic,

It was a great ending but the Suns were able to hold on to beat the Warriors. Booker definitely hit the over with a 32 point night and he held on to the game down the stretch as Durant looked on from the bench. Curry did get a chance to tie it at the end with a quick shot off the inbounds but he wasn’t able to pull off a miracle.

It was really a close game Booker really showed what he can really do and without Kevin Durant for the team they really did well with this game, well it was a close game for this game but yeah for sure Steve Kerr really used those bench matches so much right now and he was really utilizing the young guns right now, as Draymond Looney and Wiggins played less for that game, and they still lose that game but in a close one, still not a bad game for the Warriors and not the great game they can showcase as well,

https://www.begambleaware.org/self-exclusion

So yes, you can do go to the gaming commission and ask yourself to be ban. I know a guy that has been banned, but he didn't do it himself, his wife did. The wife call the casinos and describe his husband and obviously his identification.

And then he told me that he was surprised when he go to a casino and that he was stop and was banned from entering. Later he found out that his wife is the one responsible because that time he was really addicted to that point that he is playing money that did not belong to him (he was a government employee that time).

WOW! Actually, this is the 1st time I heard of this self-exclusion thing imagine you will exclude yourself from gambling at a given point in time well not for that long period of months and years I am talking about days or maybe an hour you can surely take advantage to that given time or interval for sure a great gambler will make used of this kind of situation if he already lost it or he is making a lot of money depending on the time given he is banned then he will eventually stop for sure this is to keep him from losing any further or making bets any further then controlling his risk of getting addicted or maybe saving something from gambling and for the house to not take his given money,

If what I think really works then I think that will be great and can be used in anyone's advantage, but if the self-exclusion didn't work that way then there are some better things that anyone can make used of it,

This looks a little funny for a team that has very competent players and a big defeat with more than four goals conceded is a form of Tuchel's incompetence in facing Frankfurt. No one predicted that Bayern Munich would lose by such a striking score and even the bookmakers placed Bayern Munich as a strong candidate to win the match. Dino's strategy is considered quite effective and appropriate in reducing Bayern Munich's attacks and this will be a reference for other coaches if they want to beat Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen was able to secure a point even though Stuttgart put up fierce resistance, even four minutes later after Fuhrich broke into Hradecky's goal, Wirtz managed to equalize. Xabi Alonso now has a good record in the Bundesliga and I think he will be a target for top clubs next season because if he is able to lead Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title it will make his name even more popular.

For sure many have failed to expect the defeat of Bayern Munich and for sure because many have bet on Bayern Munich and many were frustrated and could not recover from their loss, I surely think that Thomas Tuchel didn't expect this to happen and that Frankfurt have already seen the technique and skills of Bayern Munich for sure that is why they have been defeated,

Leverkusen on the other hand just managed to make a draw game against Stuttgart which is OK as well, and because of the loss of Bayern Munich the score of Bayern and Leverkusen have a 4 points difference making Leverkusen still on the top of the standing, for sure Xabi Alonso is all Leverkusen can thank for because of his approached and technique with the game that if the Leverkusen can not win the game they will focus on defense so they can force a draw for the game making a safer route to victory, which I think is very effective somehow,
