For me Marlon Vera is the one I am looking out for, rising to be a star, but still needs to prove himself, and that very convenient fight with O'Malley have surely gained him something, and I totally think it is not just dumb luck that O'Malley's legs just wobble that way, and Marlon Vera is saying that he really did targeted O'Malleyin kicking his thighs, and right now stake has a promotion with the UFC 268 offering double your winning with all main card fights, including the Marlon Vera VS Frankie Edgar fight.


I really think that Zhang Weili doesn't know whats the right thing to do with Namajunas, getting training outside her camp and gaining different styles may surely cause her even more, in my opinion, in not stick with her own style and not hone it properly may eventually backfire at her.

I really hope they can Still get it going until Erling Haaland return, now there is a new injury for Dortmund and that is Marius Wolf, I can say this is a bad situation for Dortmund, they are making a great run and getting a good position in the standings beside Bayern Munich until this kind of injuries occurs, and you are right it is really a bad time while their opponent is Leipzig, I can say Leipzig has been in the 2nd standing last season, but maybe Dortmund and Marco Reus will still make it happen because there are many good player departures on the Leipzig side, but Christopher Nkunku and Emil Forsberg can be difficult and can be a notable player for Leipzig, I will stay out of betting because I surely like these two teams.

We can not assume his true intentions, but regardless of what happened and without Lebron James, I think the Lakers did what they think was right, Russell is pulling up 3 points shot in the first half and they are leading the game so much that their defense just withers in close to the 3rd quarter, I really thought they can pull a win here, and Lebron James is already celebrating from the bench, I really think that the Lakers can surely win that but I think the lead gave them confidence that the Thunders would not make a comeback, but maybe giving the ball to anyone that can really make that desperate shot, I think Russell Westbrook is not that guy,

And yes Lebron James could be gone for 1 week, and right now Anthony Davis has a thumb injury but maybe he can still play it next game.

UFC 268 Picks

Kamaru Usman vs Colby Covington 2

A rematch that I think Colby Covington deserves, but aside from that I really think Colby will be having a hard time with Usman, and back in their previous fight I think that Colby Covington won the 1st 2 rounds, but I could say both fighters can go beyond the distance, there will be no problem when it comes to their Cardio but the notable thing I have seen with Kamaru Usman is he never put much effort with his defense but gives more in his offense, or he surely focuses on his offense, and not the defense department, I think this is a window opportunity for Colby Covington, from their last fight that 2 rounds win for Covington was prominent that he can win against Usman, but apparently enter the 3rd round and the tables have been turned, because Kamaru Usman has Changed his offense instead of a straight right in the face, he shifted to body shot's that eventually slowed down and pressured Covington, I really think that Covington is a technical fighter, but Usman is one tough bastard to crack, with a power punch that can hit like a truck,

Kamaru Usman opens up to 1.33 odds and Colby Covington has 3.55 for the odds at stake.com, I think Kamaru Usman is all the way will win this and history can repeat itself.

Rose Namajunas vs Zhang Weili

I have gathered some information from their last fight and I will be judging from that fight, I think that Rose Namajunas was really awesome on what she did to Zhang Weili, and many have expected that Weili will be the dominant fighter over Namajunas, but I think Rose Namajunas has excellent speed his moving side to side that Weili doesn't really read, and base from that fight Rose is a flexible fighter Weili thinks that Namajunas will throw a body kick but eventually Namajunas had shifted very quickly into a high kick, I think Namajunas is at her advantage because of her background on the Taekwondo department she is very flexible in changing those kicks, and Weili is not used with an opponent with that kind of speed and flexibility, because she is used in Muay Thai kind of style of a fighter, I say to you Namajunas is a badass of a fighter, and I think many were not seeing how great of a fighter she is because stake.com odds, Namajunas with 2.02 and Weili with 1.87 a very close odds, but my take will be Rose Namajunas.

Kamaru Usman, for me aswell, but for me, Covington wouldn't become the challenger for Usman if he can not hold his own, that means he might give a hard time for Usman, but again Usman can sure win this,

I also feel that Zhang Weili has been moved by that TKO over Rose Namajunas, and could have expected a brutal comeback, and just like I have said she might be motivated by that loss, and have a comeback prepared, but for me I still want Rose Namajunas to win,

And for Marlon Vera, I might think twice but I want him to win this, but will still research and look for some opening for him if he can really do it.

Golden State VS Charlotte Hornets

Hornets are making a great start with Miles Bridges splashing some great Threes actually my pick will be Golden State, but I ended up not betting for some reason my wallet is not responding right now, or I can't make the transaction getting any XRP inside stake.com, but it is not staked.com's fault but the wallet that I am using, well anyway I think this is a great match, even though Curry is more on to the assisting side and not played full time, the game ended up Golden State winning that is why I am still happy, but Charlotte Hornets, Miles Bridge is one great athlete, aiming all that 3 pointer nad playing 38 mins game time, that was really incredible.

Paris Saint-German is a different league, but maybe Dortmund will sure have a hard time with Leipzig, while Christopher Nkunku, Emil Forsberg, Dominik Szoboszlai, Yussuf Poulsen, and Andre Silva, the Leipzig team that are goal makers, even though they have 4 injured players, Leipzig sure have a higher chance in winning, but Dortmund still has Marco Reus, Jude Bellingham, and Julian Brandt that could stand as a main offense for the Leipzig, but without Erling Haaland and Raphael Guerreiro Dortmund might lose this one, but again, I am staying away with the betting because I really love to support both teams.

I think the same, I guess Kamaru Usman deserves the title and may win against Covington, I can not see that the welterweight title would just go to a different fighter aside from Usman, but will still do some research and snipping around or Covington's training we will see.


I also like Rose Namajunas and regarding this rematch with Weili Zhang I think Weili will be prepared and this is going to be a hard fight for Namajunas, I think Weili will be more cautious with faints and fakes, well let's just see if Rose Namajunas will take a 2nd win against Weili,


I like Justin Gaethje, I think he has more technicality with his striking, even though Chandler will sure give a good fight,

I will add up the Frankie Edgar VS Marlon Vera fight I will surely pick Marlon Vera here his fight with Sean O'Malley was what I like, in giving O'Malley a wobbly leg and taking him down with elbow and punches, a good one I really consider him in this division.

Well, we had a different Decision and I have decided that I like how Jiri Prochazka fighting style, and I think that reckless movement, was part of his style and it can be unpredictable sometimes, well we will see if what may happen in the future, but maybe he is not ready to be up for a title match for now, but somehow I feel like he got the strength in doing it, maybe another fight before a title match, and maybe he can hone his movement we can never know.


Maybe Jan Blachowicz will not get upset over that loss to Glover Teixeira, I think he really admit that he is off that day, and his punches seem don't have power in it, he kind of admit that he really lost so I think he is OK,

looking at Israel Adesanya's build right now, he may not be ready to up a division yet, but maybe if he gets a little bulkier let say like Dominic Reyes kind of build, maybe he can pose a threat to the Light Heavyweight division,

And just like you, I am a fan of Izzy aswell, but most on the middleweight division pose no threat to him, he is just toying with them actually but maybe another shot for a Robert Whittaker match, or a rematch with Robert Whittaker, can be an appropriate thing Dana can do right now.

I have looked at injury reports for both teams, and Stuttgart is pretty much on the ledge with most players that can not play, and Arminia is in good shape right now, well, I might be speaking too soon that this may not need any analysis at all because of the Standings of both teams and Arminia has a record of 0 Win, 5 Losses, 5 Draws that is why I am speaking too soon, that Stuttgart could win this, but if we look for Stuttgart's injury they have 12 Injuries, and 1 Risk of Suspension players, and 2 main of their goalers Konstantinos Mavropanos and Omar Marmoush, but they still have Marc Oliver Kempf, Hamadi Al Ghaddioui, and Wataru Endo, but even if there is a short advantage of Stuttgart of winning I will still going to pick Stuttgart there are many good players on the Arminia that are now on their departure side, or that are now not playing for Arminia, so there is a huge chance Stuttgart may win, just my opinion and just take it as a grain of salt.

I think both teams had done a great job, in pursuing a score, but Lebron just fired up he turned lit at getting a score, the moment when he passes to Austin Reaves the only score Reaves got in that game, but yes Jalen Green should be there early in the 4th quarter but I guess the Lakers has seen some opportunity with that so they keep on scoring until the game ends, We can say it is a lucky game for the Lakers but for me, I just think they did pretty well against the Rockets, I am not a fan of both teams, but I just say what I think I just saw,

Houston Rockets is a great team with great fresh new players and faces playing on the Rockets, while the LA Lakers have veterans that I think could draw out the potential of the young ones.

This is my quick details and picks for the match up on the coming Saturday, 6

Mainz VS Monchengladbach

This match in my opinion will be a good match, but for me, Mainz will win this because right now Gladbach have 5 players that are injured and can not play and they can be very short over the defensive department, Mainz in the other hand had a great form and Jeremiah St. Juste is the only injured on the team, Mainz is my pick.

Bayern VS Freiburg

This is going to be a onesided match no doubt about it, Bayern will surely win this one,

Bochum VS Hoffenheim

For now, I think that Hoffenheim will be the crowd favorite, and even though Bochum will be playing on their home court I think they will have a hard time with Hoffenheim because Simon Zoller can not play I think Simon Zoller is a big game-changer for Bochum and 5 more players that can not play for the team, While Hoffenheim has 7 players that can not play for the team, but I guess these players is not their main team so Hoffenheim is the favorite one 1.93 odds and 3.75 for Bochum as per stake.com.

Stuttgart VS Arminia

In my opinion, this does need any analysis Stuttgart will be my pick 1.84 for Stuttgart and 4.30 for Arminia

Wolfsburg VS Augsburg

Right now Wolfsburg has many Players that can not play, 3 Injuries, 2 Covid, 1 Not Eligible, and 1 Risk Suspension, even though Wolfsburg has an unlikely player that can not play they have won against Leverkusen a favorite team from that match, so Wolfsburg still have Lucas Nmecha, Ridle Baku and Maximilian Arnold, my pick will be Wolfsburg.

I think it was the left hook that shook Jan, well Glover Teixeira really did not overconfidently combo another punch I think this is just to set up the takedowns, and just like you I think that Jan Blachowicz is not himself, he is always backing down, when he has really gotten a clean shot over Teixeira he just backs down I think he did well on the 1st round he just didn't commit on what he is doing, because he can pressure Glover Teixeira from a distance shot,

I think that Izzy really is thinking the same, he should have got that Light Heavyweight by now if he didn't think about the size difference, but the fight with Israel Adesanya in my opinion is a different Jan Blachowicz, but this Blachowicz is a little off and doesn't have any technicality with his style I think Israel Adesanya should try it again against Glover Teixeira Pressuring Glover from the distance is what I see the best way to beat him.


Maybe? but that is how I see things, I think that he still needs to prove himself before getting a title match, well at least before facing Glover Teixeira,

Prochazka Seems eligible, even though he only had two fights with his UFC career I think his MMA career can prove his worth.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Portland Trail Blazers

This is just a hunch but even though the 76ers have 1 player injured, and the trailblazers are playing in its 100% I really think the Philadelphia 76ers could win this and the 76ers are at a home-court advantage so my pick would be Philadelphia 76ers.

Charlotte Hornets vs Cleveland Cavaliers

This team has faced each other once and if I think that history will repeat itself I think it will because Cleveland Cavaliers have 2 injured players Kevin Pangos and Isaac Okoro I don't care about Kevin Pangos but the notable injury here is Isaac Okoro, that can help the team a little, but Charlotte Hornets is playing in their 100% tomorrow, and playing at their Court so I will go with Charlotte Hornets.

Indiana Pacers vs San Antonio Spurs

Even though Indiana Pacers are playing on their home court, they are at a disadvantage, in my opinion, they have 6 injured players T.J. Warren, Isaiah Jackson, Kelan Martin, Malcolm Brogdon, Caris LeVert, and Jeremy Lamb. while the San Antonio Spurs, only have two, that is Zach Collins and Doug McDermott, my opinion and pick Indiana Pacers is in no condition right now my pick will be San Antonio Spurs, winning this.

For now, this is the only team that I have looked at and will bet on now.

Yes, they all surely need a few fights or two to really move up the rankings and to be a worthy opponent for the champion, Well the rankings on the UFC site is not yet updated but we can say that Juri Prochazka is indeed the next challenger for Glover Teixeira, before the rematch with Jan Blachowicz, or maybe the other way around, but there are Aleksandar Rakic, Anthony Smith, Thiago Santos, and Dominick Reyes filing up the ranks for the Light Heavyweight Division, If Juri Prochazka will be the next to fight a title match I will surely go with Prochazka, with that unpredictable moves, and I can really see the power in his strikes, and most notable here if he keeps his distance he can be safe to Glover Teixeira.


A notable fight here is this 3 but I am really into the rematch between the Rose Namajunas VS Zhang Weili, fight and I am really skeptical if Rose Namajunas had set up a surprise kick to Weili or if she can pull up an surprise attack like that again, so I will surely watch this one.

I also think the same, I guess because of age, Glover Teixeira also struggle to beat-up Jan Blachowicz, and in time he might face a younger and more skillful fighter, and from the list, you gave, I really like Jiri Prochazka, with his style and technique, and right now he has a decent record to work out the best technique for Teixeira, but it is 5 months now and Jiri Prochazka doesn't see active after the great performance with the Dominic Reyes fight, I really like to see him again fight, but not with a title shot for now.

On with Aleksandar Rakic, sorry but I really think that he is still fresh and needs a couple of more fights to say that he is really worth taking a title match,

And with Magomed Ankalaev I guess it is a great shot for a Dagestan fighter to try a shot for the Lightheavyweight title, I am not seeing Ankalaev having the same style as Khabib, Islam, and Khamzat, because he had trained Greco Roman Wrestling, but he is using his wrestling to incapacitate his opponent to release a barrage of punches.

After posting this, the game between Dallas Mavericks vs Sacramento Kings is starting, It is a shame that Milwaukee Bucks would lose to the San Antonio Spurs, even though Giannis Antetokoumpo and Khris Middleton have a remarkable score it is really not enough for the teamwork of the Spurs, and yes without Jrue Holiday Milwaukee Bucks is not at their 100% performance, but it is really a close fight and at first, I thought that the Bucks would win it but after the 4th quarter the Bucks can not chase the score anymore making it the 3rd lost for the Bucks in this regular season, they have lost to the Timber Wolves, and Miami Heat in their last game.

While the Golden State Warriors may have lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, and it is a close one, they have regained their footing in winning against the Oklahoma City Thunders, I think they are doing quite well and wish it may continue.

Well, at first I thought that Leverkusen would win but unfortunately, there are 5 players that are injured and 1 red card suspension, and 1 of them is Patrik Schick, and he is the Robert Lewandowski for the team, a top goal scorer, and even though Wolfsburg also had their injured players, 3 Injuries, 2 Covid, 1 not eligible to play, and 1 risk of suspension because of his 4 yellow cards, Patrik Schick is a big loss for Leverkusen, and even though he is not like Lewandowski or Haaland caliber of a player, he is the sole goal maker for the team, I actually think this is the reason behind this, and another thing Wolfsburg is not really a pushover of a team, that is why just like what I said any team can beat any team.

A huge upset for Jan Blachowicz and the 2nd oldest fighter winning a belt, I really thought that Jan Blachowicz will win this every punch and kicks was really hitting Glover Teixeira, and what I see from this fight when Glover Teixeira is inside or in close range Glover is dangerous, but when Jan Blachowicz has his distance, Teixeira is slow at moving his head, from Blachowicz punches, right now I think that Jan Blachowicz takedown defense really improves unfortunately that attempt of Glover with the Kimora lock, was really the setup, Blachowicz really defended that at first but suddenly he panicked and giving away his backside and his neck for Glover to tap on the rear naked choke, it was really a crazy fight.


They call it a wrestling combo when they execute a takedown they are already anticipating or realizing in their minds what is next prior to that move, and situation, I guess this is really lethal wrestling to learn, that is why Dagestan Wrestling, in my opinion, is pretty much effective,

Blachowicz is really winning at first but he panicked when on the ground and gave his back to Glover, but I think he is doing great with his takedown defense, but it is really not enough I had a 3 out of 4 wins so I am OK with it, you can never really get it all.

Li Jingliang vs Khamzat Chimaev

The Return of Khamzat Chimaev the fight was really amazing, in just a snap, he secures a takedown by faking his strike, then the savage part here is he then carries Li Jingliang to talk to Dana White to get a closer look at what is about to happen, then striking and get a betting Submission on Li Jingliang, that was really great performance and with just a snap he did secure a Technical Submission to Li Jingliang, the hype is real, and will continue to look on any performance Khamzat Chimaev will take.

Islam Makhachev vs Dan Hooker

Just like Khamzat Chimaev, they have finished the fight on the 1st round, and here in this fight we can see the real difference of the usual wrestling to the Dagestan Wrestling even though Dan Hooker has leaned to the cage and this is a wrong move to go with a wrestler that has the same style as Khabib Nurmagomenodov, it is now too easy for Makhachev to apply his Dagestan Wrestling, and I think Khabib is telling him something because Khabib Nurmagomenodov is pretty close to them, and Islam Makhachev executed the Kimura lock then Dan Hooker can not do a thing, this performance was really awesome and I can not wait to see more of this Dagestan Wresting in another fight.

These two fights really are something and my bet was really a good one, with Petr Yan but no thanks to Jan Blachowicz.
