Niko held that record since 2017 from ESL One in New York.
Heard form a Esports chat he was getting some massive kills and ADR during the match so didn't doubt this performance.

Yeah I agree with you there with Dan Ige having that big knockout to Andre Fili earning his nickname 50k Ige.
After the fight you can hear Andre telling him he didn't want to fight but, then it cut to commercial.
I would imagine he was about to say he needed to fight him to get up to the next rung on the latter.
Ige knew this but wanted to teach him a lesson with the sparring sessions they had earlier, he wasn't going to be pulling his punches this time. This is a real fight.
And he delivered with a lethal blow and a nice punch at the end to prove his point to the young fighter.

So no release of the main event fight for 300 yet. But many are speculating it could be Leon Edwards vs Khamzat Chimaev.
This would make sense because seeing Chimaev fight in the US is shocking since he had troubles entering into the country prior. And with Edwards as the current champion this would make for a solid main event for UFC 300.
First heard about this watching the MMAFightingonSBN hour earlier but it is making traction on other channels such as  on the MMA World:

Congratulations to all the bettors who backed Kansas City for this Super Bowl. Including myself.
Just knew all the signs pointed to them winning it no matter what.
And it took overtime to decide it. Believe only the second time in the history of the sport this had happened.

Heard San Francisco hadn't know the rules change for overtime in the Super Bowl so didn't know they had lost when it happened.

Aston Martin had their car launch earlier today.

All for a bit of fun in the betting of course.

Be sure to go to the Sportsbet.io Announcement thread for some freebets Steve had mentioned for his last post on there.

@ralle14
Good prediction on the Villa match because they failed to win at home yet again but this time to a Manchester United squad who were just under them in the standings.
Why couldn't they have scored 6 goals just as Arsenal did in the previous match is beyond me.

Just waiting for Nigeria vs Ivory Coast in the AFCON Finals to begin in about an hour. Still think Osimhen can put them past the host team even if he is suffering from abdominal pain since their last match. Inwhich I lost due to an overturned goal from Victor then a penalty on the other end not allowing them to win in regulation.

Still have faith in Nigeria to get this Cup Finals done with and bring it back home to them.

Have you checked the markets for the NFL Super Bowl yet?
They have some wild prop bets offered since last I checked.
Will Usher perform a Swift song during the half-time show and if either Travis or Swift would be mentioned in the acceptable speech at the end of the game.

Be sure to check out the NFL Sportsbet.io discussion thread located here to get some insights or even a tip or two from the posts made there:

Including a video of the $2.5 million box suite for the Big Game in Vegas!

Here is my bet for the match which starts in around a little over 4 hours from now:

Nice gesture of Sportsbet.io for giving these freebets from Steve & Alex.
Welcome to the forum to you Sir Alex.

Here is my acca with the AFCON Final & Super Bowl player props for both:


Good luck all with your freebets!

Cleveland Cavaliers have had their 9th straight win when they defeated the Toronto Raptors yesterday in the NBA.

Thought this was worth mentioning since we have started talking about the NBA ahead of the All-Star weekend in a weeks time. So they are on the wings of what the New York Knicks had started doing but lost last week.
Placed a bet on the Knicks to win that game, but of course when ever you do that you end up losing.
Typical thing happening in sports betting.

EPL matches today that begin in about 10 minutes:
West ham vs Arsenal

Aston Villa vs Manchester united
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/premier-league/aston-villa-vs-manchester-utd-65bc6f43aafd2b00010b1912

Looking for both Villa and Arsenal wins for these Premier League games!

Cool table showing the number of championship title each country has had in this Asian Cup tournament over the decades it has existed.
Iran were heavy favorites in their match against Qatar which were 5.50x odds to beat them last week.
I remember watching this match as it was the only one I had the time to view with a busy work week. But it was exciting to watch the Qatari fend off the Iranians for over 10 minutes when they scored the winning goal. Think there were 13 minutes of stoppage time at the end of the match which made it even more exciting to watch the defense work.

Congratulations to them for their back to back champion cup wins!

Here is one of those very things that has you rethink your pick on the Superbowl for tomorrow.
Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated at Allegiant Stadium ever since this happened in 2017:

@rohang
There was something about Dana White appearing in a commercial during the Super Bowl for Bud Light so people seem to running with this thinking he will announce the what this blow your mind main event announcement will be.
It could all be fud as we all know how the ceo of the ufc is at times.
But he does have a captivated audience watching regardless. So it is a win-win for Mr. White.

That makes sense because they showed the car with kick inplace of what they showed during the launch aswell.
So the jurisdictions they aren't allowed they can just bring those decals on the body instead.
Sauber is Swiss so makes complete sense why they are in Swiss courts then.
They also had advertisements in other sports such as the UFC and have done the same for those aswell.

@danherbias07
That is some rather exciting news to hear with the new technology they will be using for the floor at the NBA all-star skills competition next weekend.

@rohang
It does seem the players are starting to get on track for their All-Star game with numbers like that at just half-time!
For some matches recently the those are full-time scores.
Lebron does plan on purchasing a team so it might be one for Las Vegas since they already have an arena near the airport painted in all black so you never know after he announces retirement.
He just could bring another sports team to Vegas for the NBA since their success with the Aces and the Golden Knights winning their championships.

In other sports, in the EPL Newcastle just won their match against Nottingham Forest so to climb higher on the table.
Liverpool are at the top since they won their match 3-1 against a poor Burnley side.
Two more matches tomorrow in the EPL and they can be found here:

I personally have been rooting for the Chiefs for a while ever since their win what seems like a month ago.
Being the champs last year they are coming into this as the underdogs ever since the odds were released by the bookies.
There are some cool facts about why I think they will win this year.
But will put those up later, since I'll let others put up their picks first so not to sway their selections.

The biggest rally in the price of bitcoin happened since 2022 and it seems it was attributed to just that: Inflows from the BTC spot ETF many in the financial sector are pointing to the recent spark from $42,500 to $47,500 in the past 48 hours.

Doubt that rohang as that would be difficult to arrange with Zuckerberg being infront of congress for the social media offenses he is getting blamed for.
So it might be a while for Dana to do anything with him and Musk. But it would make for a build up the hype then rug pull the fans.

With all the excitement going on in Vegas there is a UFC event many had put on the side.

Here are the face-offs which finished about 6 hours ago:

And here are the markets for those fights:

Want to see how the main event plays out because then it could possibly bring on Bo Nickel as an opponent.
As one podcast had mentioned earlier, Khamzat vs Rakhmonov would be the mirror opposite of these two forces colliding.

Visa Cash App RB had a launch earlier today and it seemed to be a quite one.

Here is teams promotional video run before the launch:
VCARB 01 - Entering Our New Era
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UkOT2Qcpb8

Still not so sure about the name as it looks like a mashup of advertisers names. Thought the RB was for the obvious naming format but it is not.

This is true and must be a new way to see if the multimaster can make a comeback in this format. Who knows!
Their promotional Sportsbet Special page has been blank for me the last month or so. Having a reintroduction in this way would be a welcomed sight indeed too.

Who can't afford $30usdt really for this Super Bowl promotion for a chance of 33.3x your staked amount is the way of a true gambler to enjoy this massive weekend.
Looking forward to it aswell.

Arallmuus they are trying to integrate the UFC into this year's Super Bowl one way or another since it is in Las Vegas. Where the UFC strive and who have made their home there.
There are some more details on the NFL/UFC threads about what they have instore during the Super Weekend.

Neuralink a company the Tesla CEO owns had successfully implanted a chip inside a human test subject.
So far they were stable and doing well last I heard.
This was done to help with those who have had their physical motor skill functions impaired inorder to regain mobility again.
It of course can have other applications.
Paired with something such as the Apple Vision Pro and you have something resembling an early renditions of cyborg technology.
Instead of people using their Vision Pros as a very expensive way of trading cryptocurrenies in a virtual environment.
Elon can finally bring a Doge nft to life virtually.

Doubtful after Dricus says he isn't going to do it and since he's the champ now he will be the one to decide. Doubt this too since Dana is the one who puts on the fights.
But we will have to wait and see.
It might not be such a long wait from what many are speculating that Dana White will make an announcement for what the main event will be on some commercial during the Superbowl this Sunday and some are just running with this instead. But he did say the announcement will blow everybodys minds, so I doubt it will be this one.
Imagine if he says Zuck vs Musk, as he has been seen meeting with both of them prior to the Las Vegas engagement.
At this point it all speculation and running on hype and that is just how the CEO of the UFC rolls.

Talking about the getting onto the hypetrain!
