Conor McGregor seems to be making some public appearances these days. He looks a lot smaller now to me then just a few months ago when he was filming for his movie role. He’s taking some heat on social media for facing off with Peter Yan but it seemed harmless enough. Also a good story with the kid from years ago winning his first fight at the event.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39dFOcE-O1k&t=1s

Did you see the latest Sparring video of Conor McGregor and how small his partner compared to him, for sure if he fought Michael Chandler one would need to eventually cut weight or one will need to gain weight, either way as long as the fight continues, sure this kind of thing on the UFC will be OK as it could also be a special match or an exhibition match between two fighters, for sure it could either way,

Or it could be something for his role in a movie just like what you have said but I guess it is either way,


Conor McGregor is just doing everything he wants to do with his life. And he is good when it comes to any type of publicity. He even mentioned becoming president of Ireland which Elon Musk responded, making it a trend.

I doubt he will ever make a return, especially in the UFC. He's already in his mid-30s and has been inactive for many years. I guess even Petr Yan will beat him. He's got too much money anyway so there's no more motivation left in him. If he wants to stay physically active then maybe he can join the WWE.

Conor McGregor is the UFC's best Cash Cow so for sure the UFC will do anything for him to fight again not to return but to just fight one last fight that is why the UFC has pitted him against Michael Chandler because Conor McGregor has some issue with Chandler and also I think they are OK to fight as Chandler also is not active anymore,

The result of my picks and predictions for the UFC Fight Night Song vs. Gutierrez and pretty much I got a bad luck on this event

Yadong Song (1.28) VS Chris Gutierrez (3.75) - LOST


This fight doesn't have any controversies at all but Chris Gutierrez might be asking if he can beat Yadong, as he was not 100% prepared for this fight Song Yadong was great with his striking and very dominant with the scramble on the ground he was controlling Chris Gutierrez, and Gutierrez also complaints a lot in this fight and that half-hearted Imanari roll and got nowhere near Song Yadong that surely even the Legendary Masakazu Imanari will be ashamed of, most of Yadong's takedowns was a success and he surely controls the top he is pretty much good at Scrambling for sure and so it was a decision win for Yadong,

Anthony Smith (2.65) VS Khalil Rountree Jr. (1.49) - LOST


For sure this is the time for Anthony Smith to retire after this fight I was wrong in betting for Anthony Smith and Khalil Rountree Jr. looks amazing with that Left hook power and Anthony Smith wobbles so hard that he was like in the Loony Toons, for sure Anthony Smith needs to retire now and Rountree Jr. has come to this fight on short notice so for sure that was a great fight for him, and now he wants to fight Alex Pereira next,

Nasrat Haqparast (1.50) VS Jamie Mullarkey (2.60) - WIN


Nasrat Haqparast was really focused and that accuracy that landed on Mullarkey and took him down like that was really something the barrage of punches from him sure damaged Mullarkjey for sure and you can see when Jamie Mullarkey was still standing he gave him another big strike that knocks out Mullarkey for good that the ref has to stop the fight,

Though the game is not yet over but it seems the Lakers is too much for the Pacers. Davis dominating the paint causing Myles Turner to be in foul trouble is huge since no one in the Pacers bench could guard Davis better than Turner I think.

Lebron is again in beast in the third quarter as he is fresh since he has not played so many minutes in the first half due to foul trouble so congrats in advance kabayan for that ML bet.

It was a dominating game for the Los Angeles Lakers Anthony Davis dominated the paint Lebron James dominated 4 defenders taking the rebound, and the Los Angeles Lakers were all over the place, it was like the highlights were for the Los Angeles Lakers alone, and it was a clear win for the Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana Pacers looks like a newbie team compared to the Lakers,

So for sure Congratulations to the Lakers

If AD played like that consistently, we could easily assert that the Lakers are a championship team.

The way they made the usual scorers for the Pacers, Hali, and Turner, struggle speaks volumes about how strong their defense is. It's the experience of the Lakers was their weapon in this championship game, marking another chapter in the history of LeBron and AD working together. Congratulations to the bettors; I'm sure we have many silent winners here, as the Lakers were the obvious picks.

If the Lakers continuously did something like this, and Anthony Davis stayed healthy for sure the Los Angeles Lakers would be the champion for this season unfortunately Anthony Davis is really consistent, Consistent in getting injured there is no season where he stays healthy for sure and I have seen him pushed himself again in this game so for sure there will be a rest in between for Anthony Davis and Lebron James for sure or maybe in their next game Anthony Davis will be injured but I really wish he will be OK I am just saying the fact that might happen to him,

I unfortunately took the Pacers and took a loss, but it's hard to win when Anthony Davis was so dominant. 41 points and 20 rebounds is about as impressive as it gets. Lebron had 24 points with 11 rebounds and Reaves had an impressive 28 point performance. The Lakers were there to prove a point!


Actually, I enjoyed the game watching, it was really fun watching both the Lakers and Pacers, unfortunately, that is all Tyrese Haliburton can do he looks tired already but seeing his performance for sure he is still improving and I could be a Golden State Warriors fan but I surely enjoyed this game for sure I am OK if the Los Angeles Lakers or the Indiana Pacers turned to be champion this season I will not be upset and be OK with it,

Well Don't forget the Blocks and Assists Anthony Davis and Lebron James did, and those insane rebounds they literally dominated the paint and the rebounds for this game,

Vegas 83 was well in Las Vegas at the Apex instead of in China.

https://www.mmamania.com/2023/12/8/23988099/ufc-vegas-83-preview-storylines-date-location-random-land-song-yadong-chris-gutierrez-espn-mma

Great fights all the way around for the last Fight Night in the UFC we will see for the rest of the year.
Had a 5 bout acca that cashed in last night so it was a good night for bets at Las China after all!

Next event is UFC 296 and for many including myself see alot of fire fights happening on the last Main Event of the year for the UFC happening next weekend!

It should have been in China but yes there were some changes with the location and venue so it was now on Apex it was a good fight for Yadong actually even if the fight was on the Apex or in China for sure Song Yadong could surely won this, now here is the results of my picks and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Gutierrez

Yadong Song (1.28) VS Chris Gutierrez (3.75) - LOST


This fight doesn't have any controversies at all but Chris Gutierrez might be asking if he can beat Yadong, as he was not 100% prepared for this fight Song Yadong was great with his striking and very dominant with the scramble on the ground he was controlling Chris Gutierrez, and Gutierrez also complaints a lot in this fight and that half-hearted Imanari roll and got nowhere near Song Yadong that surely even the Legendary Masakazu Imanari will be ashamed of, most of Yadong's takedowns was a success and he surely controls the top he is pretty much good at Scrambling for sure and so it was a decision win for Yadong,

Now going into the event in UFC Fight Night Song vs. Gutierrez this is my pick and prediction,

Yadong Song (1.28) VS Chris Gutierrez (3.75)


For me, Song Yadong is very well-rounded going into this fight his striking is just decent but when it comes to grappling and wrestling Song Yadong is just good while Chris Gutierrez has good takedown defense so good that for sure if Yadong's takedowns aren't working then Chris Gutierrez might get a great pace in getting those strikes on him, well I really like the underdog in this fight so my pick is Chris Gutierrez,

Anthony Smith (2.65) VS Khalil Rountree Jr. (1.49)


For me, Anthony Smith is much larger than Khalil Rountree Jr. He can surely get that wrestling in him for sure Rountree Jr, might get knockdown in this fight if Smith has success with those takedowns, and as Anthony Smith is the Lionheart and he is not a fighter that will eventually give-up but Rountree with his size has more power than Smith but for me, I will be more on the wrestling for this fight so my pick is Anthony Smith,

Nasrat Haqparast (1.50) VS Jamie Mullarkey (2.60)


Both of these fighters have the same style for sure but I like Nasrat Haqparast here with his decent striking output that sure can give Jamie Mullarkey pressure Jamie Mullarkey has the best kicks in this fight and Nasrat Haqparast has an issue with how he will defend it, so for sure  Nasrat will also have a hard time against Mullarkey but for me my pick for this fight is still Nasrat Haqparast,

The result of my picks for the games yesterday for the NBA

Charlotte Hornets (2.80) VS Toronto Raptors (1.47) - LOST


The Charlotte Hornets made a close game against the Toronto Raptors it was so close I thought that the Raptors could eventually make the table turn, like this but the Charlotte Hornets were really great Scottie Barnes for the Raptors made a triple-double while the Charlotte Hornets clearly has the more firepower than the Raptors they have Brandon Miller, Terry Rozier, Miles Bridge, and Gordon Hayward on this game,

Orlando Magic (1.19) VS Detroit Pistons (4.90) - WIN


The Orlando Magic was great in this game and we can say that this is a pretty much one-sided game the Detroit Piston is really at the bottom of the standing having only 2 wins but the Orlando Magic from start to finish has made this their lead it was Cole Anthony, Paolo Banchero, and Franz Wagner who dominated this game

Boston Celtics (1.37) VS New York Knicks (3.20) - WIN


the 1st half was a close game it was a back-and-forth lead game, but the Boston Celtics eventually got it in the 2nd half, and from that have made a decent win against the New York Knicks for this game it was Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Jayson Tatum, and Derrick White who have cleared this game and win against the Knicks,

^^ No I am sorry to say that won't happen. It is just a conidence that Sean Strickland looks like one of the main character from the GTA VI game.
Certainly because it has been in creation for years beyond the world even seen or heard of Strickland.
There was a video of him holding a gun in a video demonstrating what he would do during a break-in. I believe it was on his own youtube channel yesterday. Which probably will get taken down. The guy is really a psychopath as you can tell with the things that have been going on with Ian Garry this past few weeks on social media and throwing posts from all the popular platforms at each other over something to do with his spouse.
It's all a complete mess that it is not even worth mentioning on here. Let's keep it focused on the fights on hand, shall we?

This weekend's fights at Shanghai are roughly 24 hours away since they are happening in a different timezone and I think people prefer them to be at this time and not run too late.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzZaFAdPI_8

That is sad, but if GTA could do something like that it would be epic but yeah I think GTA will still be successful even with or without Sean Strickland that is for sure, Well, for thinking something like that sure it will be taken down by Youtube, for sure Sean Strickland has a unique mind thinking something like that and for sure he will need psychological assessment if he has some real deal like that for sure if a psychopath like Sean Strickland could likely want to do something like that then he will need proper psychological assessment for sure



Now going into the event in UFC Fight Night Song vs. Gutierrez this is my pick and prediction,

Yadong Song (1.28) VS Chris Gutierrez (3.75)


For me, Song Yadong is very well-rounded going into this fight his striking is just decent but when it comes to grappling and wrestling Song Yadong is just good while Chris Gutierrez has good takedown defense so good that for sure if Yadong's takedowns aren't working then Chris Gutierrez might get a great pace in getting those strikes on him, well I really like the underdog in this fight so my pick is Chris Gutierrez,

Nasrat Haqparast (1.50) VS Jamie Mullarkey (2.60)

I disagree on no improvement on the standings once he returns. He has issues off the court for sure but the guy has undeniable talent on the court. Was there any report of him not following the coach or having problems during practice? If there's none then I doubt they will trade him that easily.

He surely has undeniable talent but I don't see any improvement with just 1 person coming back to a team for it makes no difference, for me, Desmond Bane should be the face of the Memphis Grizzlies and not Ja Morant for he is more kind of basketball material and for sure he is keeping in the heart the basketball for sure, while Ja Morant is just having fun with his guns,


This game is not looking good if you had bet on the Warriors, they are playing at home and yet they are down double digit. I think most bettors bet on the Warriors to easily cover the -13 spread, and look what's happening, there's even a possibility that the Portland are gonna win this game.

It was the lead of the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1st half but I think you didn't finish the game because in the 2nd half, the Golden State Warriors had a great return and won in this game for sure and even though Jonathan Kuminga played only 17 mins on this game he still got 13 points that were unbelievable what if he got more time in playing what if he got many times playing in this game I think he can be the sole winning ace the team need,

171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 08, 2023, 03:38:05 PM
Judging from optics alone, it looks like Rountree is hard to take down...  The guy is kinda short but he is think and those legs are like tree trunks.  Lolol.  But according to UFC Stats he has 56% TD defense and if you remove strikers from the list, that's prolly lower.

But Smith has low TD accuracy.  Just around 28%.

You can check out the stats here.

http://ufcstats.com/fight-details/91093a019d32af2e

I think I agree with you about Khalil Rountree Jr. and how he can have a chance against Anthony Smith and I surely have a feeling that Khalil Rountree Jr. will win this fight, sure Anthony Smith has great experience in the MMA but his recent record was 3 consecutive losses and a win for a Ryan Spann which is not a great success in my opinion, while Khalil Rountree Jr. has 4 consecutive wins his last fight was against Chris Daukaus with a round 1 straight punch win for sure 1 punch on smith and it is a win for Khalil Rountree Jr.


Actually, I am more interested in the Co-Main Event than in the Main Event Khalil Rountree Jr. is a solid fighter even though he is just 6'1" (185cm) and smaller than Anthony Smith his build is massive and I think his shorter physique is an advantage for wrestlers and because of that he is not easy to be taken down, for sure his takedown defense is decent in my opinion, and for sure Anthony Smith has decent wrestling but does his wrestling attack is enough for Khalil Rountree,


I also like the Yadong Song VS Chris Gutierrez fight this is an interesting fight as both fighters have interesting records both fighters have something that makes me interested in watching, a great mixed fighter Song Yadong is well-rounded but even though his striking is decent his wrestling game is on another level while Chris Gutierrez is more well-versed when it comes to striking for sure this is interesting as I really don't know if Chris Gutierrez has a decent takedown defense,

172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: December 08, 2023, 12:09:37 PM
The UFC Event this weekend will take place in Shanghai so expect the media day and weigh-ins to be available sooner or later today.

Something worth a look since the most talked about release in awhile had dropped a few days ago.
I also thought one of the main characters looked familiar once he took off his mask during a convenience store robbery. Also something he probably would of done in his past before the UFC:




Looks like him but let's wait for the official reveal if it was really based on Sean Strickland if the idea was there for sure they would put a well-known person's image in their game, just like what happened to the Death Stranding game where they got the actor Norman Reedus and model it to his image for sure if that was really Sean Strickland model it will be epic for the MMA community and for sure the GTA game will be on hit just like the Death Stranding game,



Have you guys seen the current sparring Conor McGregor? he looks ready to fight again but for sure he looks despicable in those videos in my opinion and if you look at the 1st video he was wearing shoes while sparring, this could possibly hurt your sparring partners as his partners is not wearing anything at all while Conor McGregor is wearing shoes? In another video, he knocked down his sparring partner sure he struck his partner hard while he was wearing a head guard while his sparring partner was wearing none, maybe he paid for those sparring partners but for carelessly hurting them like this is not really necessarily,

The result of my bets for games yesterday

Cleveland Cavaliers (1.55) VS Orlando Magic (2.55) - WIN


The Cleveland Cavaliers got a sick lead in this game the Orlando Magic was struggling to get the score into a close number but Cleveland didn't let the Orlando Magic get any lead at all and was on top of the Orlando Magic for sure at 1st glance I am sure that the Cleveland Cavaliers can make something great like this, it was Evan Mobley and Max Strus that was the back up on the team and the main players making points was Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell,

Detroit Pistons (2.14) VS Memphis Grizzlies (1.75) - WIN


The Memphis Grizzlies had a massive impact in their 1st half and it continued in the 2nd half of this game the Detroit Pistons didn't have any answer against them, it was truly a one-sided game it was like the chemistry of the Memphis Grizzlies was great but for sure it was the Detroit Pistons that was not really that great, but with the Memphis Grizzlies it was Jaylen Nowell and Jaren Jackson Jr. was the back-up but for sure Desmond Bane was amazing in this game and getting 49 points and was a solo player in this game,

Toronto Raptors (1.62) VS Miami Heat (2.36) - LOST


The Miami Heat was exploding with the lead while the Toronto Raptors still managed to take the gap and eventually take the lead but the Miami Heat won't let them take the lead Fully for sure it was really a close game and for this game, I have risk taken the bet for the Raptors as I think they can make a win for this but I was wrong,

I'd like to see Celtics vs Nuggets in the Finals, sure this match up will gain a huge number of viewers, and I can already imagine a game 7 here since both teams are quite good and played with great teamwork.

That would be the best NBA finals this decade because both are dominating the league right now and if they can only make it even harder for their opponent in the NBA playoffs, they could easily get back to the finals once again and compete with each other and surely there would be a game 7 because of the intense play of these both teams. The Celtics have huge numbers of fans and it would be them the favorite team instead of Denver because of how they strive to take back the chance to win the championship.

Let's not forget that the Miami Heat was an 8 seed that ended up in the Play-offs at the Finals vs the Denver Nuggets on the NBA don't forget the Los Angeles Lakers both those teams came from lower seeds all ended up in the playoffs so for sure even though a team in the top seed can be beaten by an 8th seed team for sure history can repeat itself,

So teams in the very last seed can enter the playoffs for sure and this is basketball and for sure it is unpredictable,


Honestly, I don't expect Morant's return to impact the Grizzlies' performance and significantly improve their spot in the standings.
I'm wondering what the attitude of the Grizzlies management towards Morant is now after everything that happened. Do they still see him as the team leader, or would they prefer to get rid of him as soon as the opportunity arises?

I surely agree with you, for sure there is not much change even though Ja Morant returns and plays for the team, for sure the Grizzlies team and management have realized that already because the team is not doing well, but I guess this is a reminder for those players that they are not above the law, and for sure that they will get suspended for sure whoever they are,

I was a bit surprised to see the Pelicans beat the Kings last night. Brandon Ingram had himself a game though putting up 30 points. Zion was less impressive only getting 10 points but he did it on an efficient 5-8 from the field. Sabonis had a great night for the Kings, but Fox wasn’t shooting the ball well and I think his 10-25 gf performance was the difference.

The Sacramento Kings got the game in the 1st quarter but when the New Orleans Pelicans got the lead from the Kings it was at this moment that the Kings realized how well the New Orleans Pelicans can be especially since they can not make a comeback from them, as Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones have played exponentially great in this game

I was not trying to make fun of Melguizael Costa's skin (even though I find it entertaining, I think fans will 100% pay more attention on him fighting and remember him), just wanted to point that he looked unusual. I will be honest, at first, when I saw his photo on ufc page, and later some pictures of him, I was like "I dont want to be with guy and his sweat on the matt". I treated him with disdain. Like he is infectious. (does this makes me a bad person?) Went to wiki, turns out his has vitiligo. I believe some fighters have same thoughts, and he could make this as an advantage in the octagon.

For sure that was not your real intention and yeah Melguizael Costa is an entertaining dude for sure I have seen his fights for sure and it was all quite amusing, but yeah Vitiligo is not really infectious but if a person doesn't know about it maybe they will think the same but for sure there are fighters that will be curious on his condition and for sure google about it so for some reason I think you are not bad for not knowing but there are a percentage of people that may think this as weird and make fun of his skin, that is just reality,

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5476543.0

Got my picks early for this event...  For some reason I'm kinda more confident with this event that the last one.  Dunno.  Lol.  But like the Majestic 7, that could be a bad sign.  Lol.  Prolly gonna get a worse result with this one.  Cheesy

Who among you guys is leaning on Anthony Smith?  He's fighting Rountree he I think is a mf beast.  Search for his side kick to the knee vs Bukaukas.  Ooof...  Nasty!

Anthony "The Lionheart" Smith for sure will not back out of this fight but Khalil Rountree Jr. is a pure striker and I really don't know if he can adjust to having good defense on wrestling as Anthony Smith is a pretty good grappler, but I am also doubting his offensive takedown as for Khalil Rountree Jr. for sure he has good takedown defense and for some reason this could be a problem for Anthony Smith but will look even further if Khalil Rountree Jr. really has a good takedown defense

That was the only reason why I thought Bobby Green had a chance in the fight was that one against Dawson. It crowned him by his moniker King. Atleast again for that time.
Jalin Turner made him look like an absolute amateur and a complete bully towards Arman right now from their challenge in the hotel hallway,
Makes him look like a foolish guy acting like a kid with his loud barking but no bite.

For some reason Bobby Green seems slow against Jalin Turner or Jalin Turner is just fast for him, and maybe karma is getting into him for bullying Arman Tsarukyan like that for sure he is acting too foolish and tough has brought him down to his senses, it was like Jalin Turner have put him on his place, but for sure even though Bobby Green deserves all this that late call was really brutal,

He was out cold and was not moving and even during Arman's interview done an about two hours ago on MMA on SBN youtube channel he had mentioned that and wanted the referee to let him go for another 5 minutes like that until he was dead.

I haven't seen that, but if he does mention something like that, for sure Arman Tsarukyan was really upset about Bobby Green, and if they want to fight maybe the UFC can give it to them because they are both in the Lightweight division for sure a grudge match will be great and there could be a lot of PPV, if Arman Tsarukyan would want to fight a fighter below him,


This was a very good interview to watch as Tsarukyan mentions about who he has next in mind and wants to show up for UFC 300. He took on Islam on and was the only one to take him down at the time and even took this fight on short notice. So you know he can do better and is the highest prospect in his division now after putting out his idol in Dariush.

For sure he wants to fight the goat and for sure he is readying himself to take on Islam Makhachev and for sure he wants to try it the best contender is Beniel Dariiush, for sure if he wants to test what he can do Charles Oliveira is a good match but because he is injured maybe he will eventually just go and fight Islam Makhachev for sure,

The Celtics lost because they weren't playing good defense and Porzingis being out made it an easy win for the Pacers. Kornet and Al couldn't do much in rebounding. Look at Al Horford's stats. I thought this game would be crucial until the end but it wasn't. The Pacers gained momentum in the 4th quarter. They won by 10 points and yes it was exciting to watch because Hield made a surprising 3-pointer at the end.

Next game Kings vs Pelicans. Hoping for Pelicans to win.

It was a great play for Tyrese Haliburton who got a triple-double for this game Bubby Heild and Myles Turner had a great time getting those crucial shots, I really thought that the tandem of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum could turn this game around but I was wrong in thinking that it was really the worst for them as the Indiana Pacers spread their score to all the team members, man there is no doubt that Tyrese Haliburton was a great playmaker and there is no doubt that he managed to play with the team,



Indiana Pacers (2.85) VS Boston Celtics (1.45) - LOST


For this game, the Boston Celtics had a great 1st half I thought they could maintain the lead until the end of the game but the Indiana Pacers got their rhythm in the 2nd half where Tyrese Haliburton got so much fashion in getting a win he managed to get a triple-double for this game, for sure he was the one that has made it possible for the Pacers to win this game, Benedict Mathurin got 16, Myles Turner has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 17 points, Buddy Hield 21 points, Tyrese Haliburton with a triple-double of 10 rebounds, 13 assist and 26 points,

Sacramento Kings (1.63) VS New Orleans Pelicans (2.35) - LOST


Very Lucky underdogs for sure the one that likes to bet on the underdog wins these 2 games, and at the start of the game the Sacramento Kings got a decent lead but the New Orleans Pelicans managed to take it and they got a great comeback for this game it was weird as I thought that the Kings could make this their win but suddenly just like that the New Orleans has taken the gap and forcefully make a great play, Jonas Valanciunas has double-double 11 rebound 18 points, Herb Jones got 23 points, and Brandon Ingram got 30 points for this game,

Turner punishes Green ffor attempting to cheat on him. but i think it's still wrong for Turner not to stop hammering Green when he knew he was already out.  Dana must haave some goals for bonuses, will this happen regularly or just this fight night?

and who could the superfight be?  Islaam vs Edwards? Jones vs Aspinal?  can't be Conor, he's facing charges in Ireland for his tweets.


Well, if you look at the Octagon interview of Jalin Turner he said he was waiting for the referee or talking to him on how much more Bobby Green to take some nasty punches so yeah he is just doing his job and was shocked that the Ref didn't stop him quickly, Well you can never know if Dana White is becoming legitly generous or there is a hidden motive for this half a million bonus,

The super fight will surely be announced and it could be anyone for sure maybe all champion fights in 1 super fight could be the goal, or maybe like you have said it could be anything and anyone for sure,



Now the next event for this week it is UFC Las Vegas Song vs. Gutierrez

Looking at the statistics of the match, I think it was a match where Borussia Dortmund should be happy with the 1 point they got. They had a very tough match and Bayer Leverkusen wore them out a lot. They are unlucky not to beat because they created a lot of chances. At least they were not defeated, so we have to think like that. Bayern will be the happiest with this loss.

Looking at the game stat you can clearly see that Bayer Leverkusen can win this match, but because their luck in getting those crucial shots was really bad Borussia Dortmund got a draw and for sure the defense Leverkusen is also not a push-over and Dortmund for sure is having a hard time against them for sure as for sure if Dortmund didn't sell most of their players maybe this has a different result, for sure Bayern Munich will be happy with the result even though it is just a Draw, but they will be happier if the result was for Dortmund to win that is an easy task for Bayern Munich if that could happen,

This is not the first match in which Dortmund has acted in this way against a strong opponent, they did something similar in the match against Newcastle. For Dortmund, an away draw is a completely acceptable result, but for Bayer it is a loss of very important points, now Bayern will almost certainly be able to take advantage of these and get ahead of them, although if they win they will be equal on points, but Bayern will have a better goal difference.

For sure Bayern Munich will take everything that would let them win this Bundesliga season, and Dortmund has provided a This was really a total loss for Bayer Leverkusen because they didn't manage to take a win out of this game, and for sure Bayern Munich is realising the potential for them to make a big leap in the following opportunity as this is an open opportunity for sure, and as this is also a way for them to get into the 1st position while Dortmund lost this one, this should be a win for them,

Heidenheim had some breathing space between the matchdays 4 and 8. But now they are now very close to the danger zone again. Only 2 points away from place 16. Although it must be said that the last opponents, apart from Bochum, were not easy opponents. Their next opponent is Darmstadt. A game between two promoted teams from Bundesliga 2. Both nedd desperately a win.

Heidenheim is still  safe for now, but Koln can eventually take their position, as for the number 16th position is the danger position as it is indicated on a yellow color mark which means a Regelation play-off where a team will have a game, and whichever he wins he will likely stay in the 1st division but if they lose that they will be sent to the 2nd division, for sure and 2nd division will change them with 2 new teams,
