I have not yet seen this news about suspension for 60 days anywhere. Yes, the revenge will be interesting to watch, but in general the fight will most likely be the same, Adesanya will wait for his chance if Pereira allows him to do it, now he has already realized that he has a clear advantage in close fight, and he will try to take advantage of this. Adesanya said before the fight that it was personal to him, perhaps this was what prevented him from winning.

As I have said it was for health protocol, and I should have clarified that it was a medical suspension and not just only Adesanya but 19 fighters in the event were given a medical suspension to recuperate from the fight, and if you want to read it here in the Article, and what Adesanya has shown on the fight could be his triumph card against Alex Pereira, but surely a rematched is fitted for these two fighters,


This will certainly surprise a lot of people because I think most people thought that Israel Adesanya is going to win this fight against Alex Pereira. I am quite sure that he was a hit in terms of score. And if this was not a knockout, I am also quite sure that Israel Adesanya would have won the fight.

But that one slip in the fifth round cost him the fight. At the end of the day, it does not matter who was the head on the scoreboard. Israel Adesanya got knocked out and lost because of that. That is the end of the story. And currently, there is a lot of controversy going on about this fight. But I have not seen anything about any Ban anywhere.

my bad, Sorry for the wrong quote, edited it now.

Well, it really happens It happened to Kamaru Usman, against Leon Edwards, and Edwards like Pereira would just need 1 round to finish the fight, there is no immortal fighter in the UFC, there would be a better fighter that will surely emerge to get that title from a known fighter that many surely think will win, and that Israel Adesanya VS Alex Pereira have provided us with good entertainment and that is what's important, for me both fighters really did win it, and there is no doubt about that,


^  And on a lower tier match up, it could also happen to Sergei Spivak this weekend.  I got Spivak to win but we just never know with Lewis and he did it before...  It could also happen just like the one vs Volkov imho.  Cheesy

Anyway let's move forward, who do you guys got this weekend?  It looks like everybody is still hung over 281 as the discussion still won't go away from the event.  Lol.  At first glance I think the most likely winners who could make a decent 5 leg parlay are Turcios, Johns, Johnson, Don Anjos and Pearce.  That would be around 6.45 or something close to it.

Edit:  Here's the Multi Master.

^  Politicians always try to find a way to get the lime light and get themselves at the center of attention.  It's like a game for those idiots just to have some sort of show that they're doing they're jobs when they're really not.  They're useless most of the time.  They should just do their own thing, make their money and just leave the people alone.

Oook now that we have that over and done with, what are your bets for the first round of matches?  I really don't know what I'm mostly looking at here so I did a 7 leg parlay with England, Netherlands, Denmark, France, Belgium, Brazil, Portugal at 11.31.  Grin

i hope I get the first few picks in so it gets entertaining towards the end.

^  So you think we could go lower from here?  I used to really think we could go lower around 12k - 15k.  And with the FTX fiasco, that's exactly the kind of thing that could take us there...  But it didn't.  That seems to be like a sign of strength as nobody really sold it down during one of the worst scenarios in crypto ever.  Think about it...  That's prolly because the ones who would've sold already sold.  There's nobody left except holders.  Everybody else left.  Lol.

But yeah..  We'll see.  But in a couple of months I think we could be trending up above 20k - 25k.

Ferrari will never totally sack Binotto.  He's the best technical guy they've had in years.  I don't think Ferrari can afford a set back at this point in the game as they're close in winning a championship...  Maybe within three seasons or so.  But what Ferrari can do is put Binotto back to his former role as the chief technical officer and remove him from any role that has something to do with race strategy...  I'm mostly a fan of RBR but I also root for Ferrari and other teams like Williams and would also appreciate to see them do something great again in F1.
I'm not sure about Binotto. He had goal to become champions, but in seasons in Ferrari, they weren't even near to it. Ferrari mostly failed in strategy, he is directly responsible for it, but when something goes wrong, usually head of team have to take responsibily.
BTW, remember former Ferrari boss Arrivabene. I'm interested what he is doing now. And seems that he is CEO of Juventus FC. Very unexpected, I thought that he is still working somewhere in Ferrari.

That's because Binotto is more of an engineer than a team principal.  It's like if Red Bull gave the team principal role to Adrian Newey instead of Horner.  

Binotto is a good engineer and he's irreplaceable.  If Ferrari does give him the sack then that would be the most idiotic decision making for the team.  Ferrari should put him where he's good at as chief technical officer for the team and let him continue making competitive cars.  Removing him totally will bring Ferrari back to square one imho.

I have read a very weird theory, that Alex Pereira was signed from kickboxing into UFC to add more excitement to middleweight. Because Adesanya has kicked everyones ass there, and fighting second or third time with his fighting style would ruin interest to that division. Any decent fighter that has wrestling skills would submit Pereira. He has done his mission - removed current king. Now it is Adesanyas time to regain belt back. Pereira would lost belt in next title defence, Adesanya would have 1-2 fights before he regain belt back.

If you go to ufc.com, you would notice VeChain banners everywhere. UFC is now VeChain official partner Smiley

That's true and Alex Pereira is the only guy who has ever beaten in kick boxing...  Twice!  And now in MMA too.  After everything and all the talk, Pereira proved that it was no fluke.  It's now Adesanya's turn to prove if he's really the best in 185.

I think Pereira could even move up to 205 and be double champ.  It could happen if Glover Teixeira loses vs Jiri Prochazka next month.  :/  And Pereira has been training with Teixeira too.  Smiley

And as for Vechain, are we back at 2017?  Lmao.

The chart looks like it's gonna do one more leg down tho.  But the FTX fiasco was supposed to do it but didn't.

^  This is not financial advice but I think now is one of the best times to start buying in coins like BTC and ETH again.  And maybe even BNB.  I'd personally start accumulating ETH as there's just a lot more to go to once you need to rotate once it becomes a full blown bull market.  It's just a preference and I think it's going to out pace BTC a tad more than it did from the last bull market.

And from those alpha coins, maybe start rotating to other alts at the lower end of the spectrum then really try to get out of the market in profit and hold everything in stables.  I seem get round tripped every time.  Lol.

Zhang Weili trained with the Hickman brothers in Thailand for the event.  Her team def knew they needed to be in another camp other than her original one or the one she trained at with her rematch vs Rose Namajunas at Fight Ready with Eddie Cha and Henry Cejudo.  Weili kinda had a more defensive style when she was at Fight Ready.  With the Hickman brothers, she has the wrestling chops but the aggression is still there.  I'd say she got way better with the Hickman brothers than with Henry Cejudo.

A couple of replays for Lewis and Spivak...  Enjoy.

The Hickman Brothers yes, I am searching for Zhang Weili's Trainor and they really did great with Weili now, and surely Rose Namajunas better watch out because this is a new Zhang Weili, and if you are playing Tekken and if we base the Fighters on the UFC with Tekken you can say Zhang Weili is a new and improve Jin Kazama, well not actually the style of Jin Kazama, but the Jin Kazama now has a new move style set than the usual style it was a new and improved Zhang Weili we are witnessing now, and just like Israel Adesanya additional ground game style is their new ace in their sleeves,



I had Zhang Weili winning the rematch vs Namajunas tbh.  They first fight sure, it was a KO kick to the head for the finish.  Buuut..  It was kind of a fluke.  First kick in the first few seconds of the match and it was a flash KO.  That ain't happening anytime again soon for sure.

And yes, this new version of Weili is going to be a hard one for Namajunas.  Not saying it's a sure win as Namajunas also has a good trainer and training camp with Trevor Wittman.

I think it's a bit embarrassing that Verstappen, who is already the world champion, doesn't want to help Perez to become a safe vice world champion. I think he has already forgotten what Perez did for Verstappen last season, just think of the final where he kept Hamilton behind him for a long time.

Verstappen could have easily passed Perez, RedBull also wants the vice world championship title at all costs and for Verstappen it's all about nothing, because he had no chance of winning.

Yup...  Very embarassing.  But if you read into it, it looks like Perez did something really naughtly at Monaco this season.  Perez was caught to have admitted that he deliberately crashed at Monaco quali to cause a red flag, deprive Verstappen for a chance at pole and get the pole position himself.  In the radio at Brazil, Verstsppen was saying something like 'you know my reasons, we've talked about this' when he didn't follow team orders to let Perez pass.  There' something going on behind all this.  And I don't think Perez gets a new contract after his current one...

Yup, just heard about it too.  RIP Rumble.

On a lighter note...  What an event!  From top to bottom the matches were good.  There were prolly just two matches that were 'just ok' but the rest were entertaining as fk.  It was surely one of the best UFC PPV events of the year.

As for the next event, if you guys hated the event the other week which was decent for me, you guys will totally haaate the next one.  Cheesy

Yup! it was a stunning great event even the women's division Zhang Weili really outdid what she have achieved and this time with what Esparza was good at, she beat Esparza with a terrain that mostly Carla Esparza is familiar with, and that was the going to the ground that many people thought that Esparza will have the upper hand and with the Erin Blanchfield VS Molly McCann fight we can really see what Erin Blanchfield did there she was really the most dominant when it comes to grappling, well can I say it was a solid PPV,

Well I haven't hated that event but the next event might, but let's give a chance,

Sad and really unexpected.

I think everyone is familiar with Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. On punch knockout artist, but I have remembered him as fighter, who has competed in divisions starting from welterweight (that is from 71kg) to heavyweight (that is 94kg and above). Yesterday he has passed away from blood cancer... At the age of 38 only.

Yup, just heard about it too.  RIP Rumble.

Stunna...  There's this new thing called the Power Slap League by Dana White.  Cheesy  It could be a huge thing from a betting perspective as the 'sport' itself, if you could even call it a sport, is really entertaining.  And I'm pretty sure it'a going to catch on really fast as it's easy and fun to watch.

I missed making my prediction with City vs Brentford.  Prolly not that it matters as the match is 1 - 1 and almost ending.  It's losing in these easy win matches that would cost them the trophy.  But we're still a long way off and we haven't even seen City and Arsenal play this season yet.  

Anyway, nice to see Eddie Howe do well in Newcastle at third in the table with 27 points.  But I wonder if they'd still do well if Liverpool and Chelsea were their usual selves.

Edit:  Oof Brentford just got another goal in making 1 - 2 with them ahead in the Etihad!  Lmao. 

Toney MOTM imo.
1999  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: November 12, 2022, 02:13:42 PM
Now UFC 281 (I am so excited) here is my picks and predictions

Israel Adesanya VS Alex Pereira

The stake odds for this fight are 1.45 for Adesanya and 2.80 for Pereira, For me, Alex Pereira could be a threat to Izzy and many people believe it because of their past fight in kickboxing where Pereira knockout Adesanya, but for me, we can not base our prediction because of that kickboxing fight and this is MMA anything can happen in here it got different rules and I think Israel Adesanya is very accustomed to that which is it is not great to give an impression where Pereira will knock out Adesanya easily, Israel Adesanya has good striking, pretty much the good striking in this division, we can see that he can surely knock out his opponent in the past, but right now, he is collected and can control that urge now by winning the fight technically, so my pick is Israel Adesanya,

Carla Esparza VS Weili Zhang

The stake odds for this fight are 4.10 for Esparza and 1.29 for Weili, Even though Zhang Weili has lost to Rose Namajunas, 2 times now, It doesn't mean she would lose again in their 3rd match, right now I have seen the growth of Weili, from her 1st fight against Joanna Jędrzejczyk was a close match but that devastating punch of Weili deformed the faced of Joanna Jędrzejczyk, while on their 2nd clash Weili now has the arsenal of takedowns, that losses the momentum of Joanna Jędrzejczyk, and with this fight the new Zhang Weili against Esparza I will surely go with Weili,

Dustin Poirier VS Michael Chandler

The stake odds for this fight are 1.48 for Poirier, and 2.90 for Chandler, For me even though both of these fighters have grappled or wrestled, they haven't seen using it more often they tend to their striking prowess or box a lot, but for me, Dustin Poirier has a decent striking than chandler and quite has the technical advantage than Chandler as well, for me, I would go with Dustin Poirier,

Erin Blanchfield VS Molly McCann

The stake odds for this fight are 1.24 for Blanchfield while 4.60 for McCann, the fighting kitten Erin Blanchfield, well for both of these fighters even though Molly McCann who is a friend of Paddy the Baddy, doesn't have any submission wins yet, while Erin Blanchfield has, and has the decent ground game, but Molly can sometimes surprise us, and pretty much she has the power to knock out her opponent for sure, but I am siding with the more well-rounded fighter, which is Erin Blanchfield,



Yup agree with all of those picks and they wouldn't be that bad to parlay together for a small bet and make it a more interesting event.  Wink  But I say it 'wouldn't be that bad' rather than 'really good' as I feel like there's gonna be a pie shitter out of those 4.  It could either be Adesanya or Poirier.  As for the girls, they're close to locks imho.  Esp Weili..  I don't think Esparza will see R5.  This ain't gonna be like Namajunas.

Now there is some agreement with Justin Sun to swap the TRX,BTT,HT tokens. And FTX confirmed this, however...

You are taking a 80% loss because the price to buy TRX on FTX is $0.30 and its value on another exchanges is $0.05. Its peak was like $0.15. So you either risk the rest of your funds and wait or take a 80% loss now.

Rediculous

Like I said yesterday, when they came up with this idea, I have to say SBF and Justin Sun are worse than what Dokwon did. They are forcing investors to accept losses and disclaim all responsibility once investors withdraw all assets from FTX.

Currently, according to some sources, FTX users in the US and Bahamas can still withdraw money because FTX has registered business in these two countries. FTX Global has no further information yet, the possibility of getting back the investor's money is almost zero.

^  I think that's illegal, it's almost like fraud.  And if they're really going for it they should at least get some advice from a lawyer.

And I'm just dropping by to ask for those people who experienced Mt Gox, which event has had the bigger impact for you, Mt Gox's insolvency or FTX?  I feel like after seeing a lot happen in crypto my reaction was like 'haha another one'.  But with Mt Gox it felt like it was going to be the end of BTC, the market and the whole space.  But I was noob then.
