That is great news, wish he could go with Bellator instead-but if PFL or ONE has a great offer on him I think that is still a good choice, but if there is a collaboration between PFL and UFC I would like to see a Francis Ngannou VS Jones, that would be a great 1 shot match to watch just wishful thinking though, but still a great PPV for both fighters fans
PFL now has more money and better names and I think they are better than Bellator. There is no way UFC is going to work with any other MMA organization in the world for some cross promotion, I can guarantee that. Only way for Ngannou and Jones guys to fight in future is when Jones contract with UFC is finished, maybe after his next drug test fail or after beating his wife again.

Who watched Arsenal vs Sporting match tonight? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I can't believe they managed to lose on penalties after scoring first and playing very good in first half, and I wont even speak about crazy odds. Only good thing for Arsenal is now they can focus only on winning Premier League title and prepare for next season of Champions League. I am looking all the teams in Europa League and I think Manchester United have actual chance to win it this time.

Maybe we first need to wait and find out who will play with whom? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Predictions will be very different depending on the results of the draw. That is true but we can already see favorites and potential Champion League finalists. Italian clubs did surprisingly good, and I didn't expect to see Milan going in next round instead of Tottenham. But sorry I don't think Italian club is going to win Champions League this season, and I can bet on that ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

As for Usman, he'll improve his chances of winning and make his current line look like value if he goes out there and have a wrestling heavy game plan. IMHO. I think he will... He just wants his belt back.
What I find very weird is that bookmakers made Usman a heavy favorite against Leon Edwards who is champion that beat him last time. Before looking at odds I would probably bet on Usman, but there is no way I am going to do this with this low odds. Both of this guys are really good and fight can go either way but I see big value betting on Edwards, but I think we might see longer fight this time. Faceoff was intense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW4HCwafQLs

I asked the above to OpenAI ChatGPT3 and got the following response...
This AI failed to mention one of the best casinos that accepts cryptocurrencies and that is Sportsbet. It's weird because Sportsbet is very active online and in bitcointalk forum, so I expected to see them included in AI list. Can you ask AI again what he thinks about Sportsbet and why he didn't say about them before?

Another UCL today lads so what are we watching , what are we betting and what are drinking tonight ?
I am drinking tea and betting both on Champions League, Premier League and EFL Championship. Results could be better but I am not complaining because I am net positive and I didn't bet big amounts for today matches. Hard times for Southampton as they lost one more match against Brentford this time ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Eintracht Frankfurt looks like lost team in Champions League, Napoli easily dominated in both matches and I didn't expect so easy win for home team. My only chance to go up in CL Superbru competition now is to go for big surprises to win as many points possible, but this is mission impossible. For Liverpool this is one of the worst seasons in recent years for all competitions, so no surprise they are losing again. What are your predictions for next round?

Big news! Francis Ngannou reveals he is very close to signing new contract with PFL or ONE Championship, but he is going to have boxing fights as well. He is still thinking if it's going to be PFL or ONE, but if he asks me I think PFL is better option right now, unless ONE is accepting all his conditions. PFL has better heavyweight fighters and they can always create cross promotion fight with other organizations. YOu can listen full interview Ngannou gave to Ariel Helwani on MMA Hour youtube channel. https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/3/15/23641926/francis-ngannou-reveals-hes-close-to-signing-with-pfl-or-one-championship

Haaland City oh sorry ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Manchester City exploded against Leipzig, and I don't think anymore predicted correct score for that match. I think they have biggest chance of winning Champions League if they continue playing like this, but let's be honest and say that Leipzig is not on their level. What are your predictions for tomorrow CL matches, and can Liverpool perform big miracle?

Man, Trofo, thanks for the tag reminder. I had this at the back of my mind but would almost certainly have forgot my picks if not for the Telegram tag notify. I'm disappointed in myself!
Guys better dont get mister Trofo angry or you will be punished by federation with more deducted points in future and relegation in lower divisions ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I am trying to post my picks as early possible because I will forget doing it later, but I am not doing big research before answering questions. My problem is after sending answers I immediately forget everything that was written ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

My run of bad results continues, Middlesbrough and Coventry both played only draw in their matches, and I expected to see more from them. Coventry was much closer to victory and they played better but few minutes before end Wigan score equalizer. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I am not giving up and I have two predictions for tomorrow on Norwich and Burnley. Huddersfield is last place on table with lot of missing players fot this match, and Norwich need points for playoff spot. Hull is missing many player for match with Burnley and only way they can get points from this match is if Burnley allows them. My Bet: Norwich and Burnley win https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/championship/matches

Tennis question will not be counted this week, it is still not perfectly worded, and I see nobody has yet posted in right format. This one was a bit too demanding it seems, we will try to keep it more simple in the future. Maximum number of points for this week is 9. Tennis question is void. I belive that is the most fair solution. For those of you that did not submit your answers yet, you can skip this one or submit just for fun. Sorry for confusion.
Oh noooo, I wasted so much time trying to find answers this question and write four players going to semifinals, that is two pairs. I am sure Trofo it was you who made this hard and tricky tennis question so you should be punished with one more minus point ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Good luck everyone in this round guys, and I hope to go back up in table again.

We have six matches starting tomorrow in Championship, and I noticed one pick I like very much. Middlesbrough vs Stoke, two teams in good form but I have to give advantage to home team. Middlesbrough have best goalscorer in league Apkom and if they want to go back in Premier League directly they need to win here. They have good record against Stoke, and even better at Riverside Stadium. Odds on home win are decent and I am taking that. My Bet: Middlesbrough win https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/middlesbrough-fc-v-stoke-city-640cb8068e2401289c01b85dWigan vs Coventry looks interesting and I think everything is pointing towards away win, but safer bet is asian handicap Coventry (0). There are missing players from both teams so I don't want to risk with straight away win.

I love UFC design of new poster for upcoming UFC 286 event, and I think this can be one of the best events in this year. This poster looks like a paper money bills design with Usman, Edwards, Gaethje and Fiziev ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) My early prediction is that Kamaru Usman will win this time, but I want to wait few more days and watch prefight interviews. It's crazy that bookmakers made Usman such a big favorite when we know how Edwards won last time, so there is value for betting on Edwards again, and maybe this time we see longer fight.

Every fight in a main card has a finished ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Nice event actually. I think that Bellator would become boring for Usman soon. Few more title defences and I think he would be signed in UFC. Usman would win Bellator Lightweight World Grand Prix Tournament (with 1 million dollars prize) and would be at perfect age to enter UFC. He would be about same age Khabib and Islam, when they were signed by UFC. I dont think that Usman would be like Michael Page, that stays in Bellator probably forever. Why would he move to UFC when he can make more money in Bellator and he doesn't have to be under control of Dana White? Being in Bellator can allow him to with with fighters from different promotions, and have personal sponsors. I can't predict future but with recentz PFL signings maybe they hire him for some big money deal.

One point for Southampton today is not that bad, but when I saw red card for Manchester in first half I hoped to see goal scored from Saints. I know some guys played straight win for Southampton, but double chance or asian handicap paid really good. Southampton must try and win next round against Brentford in few days, maybe we can see special bet in Sportsbet with question is Southampton going to stay in Premier league or not.

Would have been the bet I'd be on too, sorry you didn't make this one either. Teemu managed to get himself a card, and now stretches his drought to 24 games without a goal.
It was bad run of weekend bets for me, and I managed to pick all the wrong matches ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I will try to be better in few days because there is new Championship round this midweek, but this is league of extraordinary unexpected results ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) My favorite thing is trying to find good bets on underdog teams, and I don't find them always.
