I'm not only predicting a Oliveria win, but I'm hoping for one. I've found Makachev a little boring at times, and I don't know I'm just not a massive fan of him. I think he gets hyped up due to the people around him, instead of because of his ability. Don't get me wrong, a great fighter. I just don't think he'll ever be a great, which at the moment he's being portrayed as.
I find him a more boring version of Chimaev. Obviously, not as controversial as him at the moment, but hyped up until he goes against real opposition which will ask questions, which I do believe this fight will, a bit like the Burns fight with Chimaev.
I'm hoping Charles can get a submission win, after out pointing him on the feet.
This is what I think is gonna happen... Right now looking at the odds, I think there's some value on Oliveira. We have talked about it before, the match could be closer than what the lines suggest as Makhachev hasn't really fought an elite grappler like Oliveira. The best grappler he's fought in the last couple of years, if not the only decent grappler he's fought is Thiago Moises. Check it out here... https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/40148-islam-makhachevBut then again this is Khabib's cousin and could be someone who is like Khabib who could make the fight look like he's supposed to be a 1.10 favorite.  |

Inter have done a great job so far and ended the first half 1-0 ahead thanks to Calhanoglu's nice goal. Actually Barcelona had more dangerous attacks than them and they were in control of the match in terms of ball possession. However Inter showed us that this wasn't the most important thing in football.
However I still don't think that Inter can win here. Barcelona's performance wasn't so different from them as I said. I expect them to improve their performance even more in the second half and equalize the score as soon as possible. But it looks like they have a really difficult job as for getting a win. Inter are surprising us a lot after their poor defensive performance against Roma the last time. I wasn't expecting them to stay this much solid. Maybe Inzaghi found out a way to be more prepared for the Champions League.
^ I wouldn't say 'they couldn't win here' unless it's a club like the Rangers or Viktoria Plzen. Lol. They format of the UCL is more of a tourney format. Once a club goes through the group stages and on to the KO stages, they def have a chance of winning it. And it's Inter. A club that knows how to win and with somewhat of a history. And showing that they could go against a better club in Barca and win the match? That's a good sign. It shows heart and show what their mentality is like. |

^ I think even with the rain, Verstappen is going to win it. They're going to finish it and wrap it up. Red Bull is just too good as a team with the best driver on the track. Verstappen is a generational talent. Kinda like a Messi or a Ronaldo in football.
There isn't any value in his line tho. The books have him at 1.50 to win it. He was 1.40 to win in Singapore before quali and he was close to having it if he finished his possible pole taking lap if not for the fuel blunder. The race obv would've been different if he got pole position.

Does anyone know the reason why Man U are not starting or even playing Ronaldo? Is it some sort of power play cos Ronnie has been a dram queen or was trying to the run the squad himself, or is it just because of the transfer drama and him obviously not wanting to be there? Either way, not bringing him on at half time when you're 4-0 down is silly. If anyone could have turned that game around it was him.
Statements from manager are logical and maybe even actual truth but you never know if it is the state of things or just power plays. He said that Ronaldo is not in first 11 because he missed pre season and isn't in peak form yet. When asked why he did not bring him in later on he answered something like "Ronaldo is one of the greats of this sport and I did not want to bring him in the game which was already lost". It's time for Ten Hagu to worry not about Ronaldo, but about himself - with such results, he will be thrown out of the club very quickly. I don't think he was taken to the club with the condition that United could hang around in the 6th-7th place and get humiliating defeats from time to time (a complete repetition of last season). A few (largely accidental) victories seem to have given Ten Hag the audacity to continue to ignore Ronaldo - the problem is that United still play badly. The tension from the fans is already high, if the management is also unhappy, then soon Ten Hag will have to pack his things. But Ronaldo actually has become a liability tactically. Ten Hag has to change how the squad plays when Ronaldo is up there spear heading the attack because he doesn't do much when they don't have the ball. It ends with a couple of guys being forced to be out if position to make up for it. United just needs to rebuild from scratch. Something they should've done after Ferguson left almost 10 years ago. Damn.. It's been almost a decade now. Lol. Maybe they're due for a resurgence in a couple of years. |

Nono, this event is actually really good for a Fight Night, non PPV event. Some good match ups in here imho. I'm liking Jonathan Martinez vs Cub Swanson, Askar Askarov vs Brandon Royval, Magny vs Daniel Rodriguez, Melsik Baghdasaryan vs Joanderson Brito, Nick Maximov vs Jacob Malkoun and the banger of bangers Dusko Todorovic vs Jordan Wright! Bet on the under for that one for sure. The main event is just ok but I'm pretty sure there's like a couple of people itt drooling over Alexa Grasso. I really thought that Cub Swanson was never going to fight anymore but seeing this fight I was kind of OK at 1st but then I realize that this is Swanson the guy that lost to Giga Chikadze, but I think he is back for more, Askar Askarov VS Brandon Royval is another great fight as well I have just forgotten to mention, Well, that Fighting Kitty Alexa Grasso is one hot chick and you can say that we are drooling to gaze at her fighting inside the octagon, but for us it is a treat to watch her winning it as well, Yeah.. And it's also the way he lost vs Chikadze. Chikadze made Swanson look like an old man in the cage. Wait... He is an old man. Lol. But against Martinez, dunno. The guy is chinny. I think Swanson is a live dog in this spot. Would I bet it? Nope. Do I like the spot enough to pick Swanson in my lottery ticket? I'd prolly place it near the lowest tier, if not at the lowest. Anyway, was browsing UFC's YT channel and found these. I think Oliviera both on the ground and at stand up could be a handful for Makhachev.

Only cancelled fight could have saved that event from being boring Another filler with chicks in the main event. Nono, this event is actually really good for a Fight Night, non PPV event.

This race was the biggest opportunity for Leclerc to win. He was very close to taking the lead after DRS was active finally after a long time passed. But Leclerc started to have a serious problem on keeping the car stable and lost a lot of time in the meantime. After Perez was ordered by the team to push more he opened a huge gap in a short time. Even the time penalty didn't save Leclerc from finishing in the second place.
Perez has been really impressive in street races this season. After winning in Monaco GP this is another win in a street race. Maybe things would have been way different if it didn't rain heavily but I'm not underestimating his win by saying this of course. They all raced under the same conditions in the end.
Yup but the Red Bulls are just fast in the straights. Newey out did himself with these cars with the new specs. Binnoto too. He also built a great car from scratch but prolly needs more tweaks and development under the new specs to out do Red Bull. Maybe next year... Hopefully. It would really be boring if Red Bull dominates next season. Which I think there's a high possibility they might. And for the Singapore GP, for a race with lots of incidents it was kinda boring. |

Anybody watching the match? Man U fans are leaving and they are mad.
Yeah I was watching the match and enjoying every minute of it. It is not that I am City supporter I just like to see good football. I expected City to win easy but and United to score a goal so, I also banked a nice ticket.  Must say I did not expect City to score 6. This is Haaland 3rd hat trick and he needed 8 games to get to that number. Record was held by Micheal Owen, he needed 40+ games to do the same. That is one of the stats that perfectly show Haaland dominance in the league. When I remember that I thought he will have rough start and that Kane is safer option in fantasy  Nice. I had City to win and under 4.5 combo at 1.92. I kinda thought United getting a goal in would be doubtful. Lol. But yeah.. You win some, you lose some. Anyway, what do you think of the Arsenal vs Liverpool match. Seems like it's another good one for BTTS and over 2.5 combo. The line is decent too, it's at 1.88 the last time I checked at Stake. You prolly could get it over 1.90 at Sportsbet with their line boosts. |

^ Yup... With Dern an elite grappler, you could say Yan defended reaaally good. And she had more than a couple of spots when she really got in trouble too. All her training with Team Alpha Male with Faber and the rest of those guys are paying dividends for Yan. So yeah, I guess she'll be going next for the title after Zhang Weili. It's gonna be an all Chinese match up if Zhang Weili wins.
Anyway, it's going to be another weekend without the UFC. :/

Good one for Leclerc. I for one have always found myself rooting for him. He's a good driver, even Vettel said so and he respects Leclerc. It's frustrating to watch him suffer from his team's idiotic calls sometimes. But don't lose hope if you're a Ferrari fan. Good things will come as Binotto is a good builder of cars. It's the team's race strategist who should go. |

Rofl. It's nice to see the meme is catching on in these parts. He's not just the goat, he's Goatifiii. The Goatifi meme originated at Formula Dank at Reddt. Those guys are so hilarious and catch anything funny at any point in the race then they go post a meme asap. Their favorite seems to be Toto Wolff still and Lewis Hamilton. That guy takes himself so seriously it becomes funny. Ferrari memes were funny at first but the team has been below average in their decision making, it stops being funny and you start feeling sorry for them... Mostly Leclerc. Almost as funny for me as football troll accounts, but yeah, it's weird when you feel sorry for the prancing horse -- almost like I feel sorry for Man United. It's definitely more fun when a team is on the rise and just can't win, but this has become a comedy of sorts. I feel sorry mostly for Leclerc than the team. It's not his fault if the team makes bad calls under pressure. And it's not even Binotto's fault, it's their race strategist, tho Binotto should take responsibility with him as the team principal. Same with Man United... At the time when they were in a deep rut, I felt for the players, Pogba, Rash, Greenwood, etc... It wasn't their fault their manager was tactically inept. Lol. Anyway, quali is starting... I quit watching Arsenal vs Spurs after the red card. :/ Edit: Don't forget to head on to Formula Dank for the memes.  https://www.reddit.com/r/formuladank/new/ |

News update on Jonny Bones Jones, only a picture hehehehehe.  I am shocked. I saw videos before, however, it did not look for Jon Jones to be this giant. This also certainly makes it appear that Francis Ngannou might have a real challenge hehe. I predict Dana to make the announcement after UFC 281. I think it's prolly better for the UFC brass to match him up vs Gane or Miocic. So it's gonna be some sort of a fight to get Jones comfortable in the cage again and it gives the fans a taste of what's to come if he wins. They could even do it with an interim belt on the line. That way, Ngannou has no choice but to fight the winner. Anyway, I'm still trying to sort my lottery ticket out for the weekend. But I'll prolly end up with something like this... Castaneda - Grishin Add: Brown - Yussuf - Barcelos Add: Dern - Silva - Latifi Add: Stoliarenko - Allen Add: Borshchev - Cannetti Low confidence so I'll prolly just drop 10 bucks at it and do 5 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1. |

^ FP2 has a more interesting result. I'm pretty sure Ferrari fans will be happy. Lol. After a few more tweaks with the cars to get the right balance, FP3 will really be interesting... Quali after that. I think the books might have over valued Verstappen lining him at 1.40 going into the event. From a betting perspective it's good that he loses so we get the normal +EV lines in the next couple of races again. 2022 F1 Singapore GP FP2 Results1 Carlos Sainz ESP Scuderia Ferrari 1m42.587s 2 Charles Leclerc MON Scuderia Ferrari 1m42.795s 3 George Russell GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team 1m42.911s 4 Max Verstappen NED Oracle Red Bull Racing 1m42.926s 5 Lewis Hamilton GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team 1m43.182s 6 Esteban Ocon FRA BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m43.412s 7 Valtteri Bottas FIN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen 1m43.431s 8 Fernando Alonso ESP BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m43.520s 9 Sergio Perez MEX Oracle Red Bull Racing 1m43.906s 10 Lance Stroll CAN Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team 1m43.982s 11 Lando Norris GBR McLaren F1 Team 1m44.013s 12 Sebastian Vettel GER Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team 1m44.219s 13 Kevin Magnussen DEN Haas F1 Team 1m44.422s 14 Pierre Gasly FRA Scuderia AlphaTauri 1m44.469s 15 Zhou Guanyu CHN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen 1m44.524s 16 Alex Albon THA Williams Racing 1m45.144s 17 Yuki Tsunoda JPN Scuderia AlphaTauri 1m45.211s 18 Daniel Ricciardo AUS McLaren F1 Team 1m45.447s 19 Mick Schumacher GER Haas F1 Team 1m45.623s 20 Nicholas Latifi CAN Williams Racing 1m46.553s |
