Lol! So Henry Cejudo after 3 years of inactivity really has a 50/50 chance of winning against Aljamain Sterling? I understand Cejudo is also a legend just like Jon Jones but I wonder how many times they are capable of winning a championship fight right away after years of inactivity. I really like Sterling to lose his belt but I am now tempted to bet on him because of the odds. I really thought Sterling is a heavy favorite or at least something at 1.50. Sterling is even the slight underdog on some betting sites. Cheesy
Henry Cejudo is a coach and training fighters and he has a sharp mind picking out the weakness of the opponent and find a way to win the fight and he is a genius in breaking down the tendencies of the fighters. The way in which he was able to defeat Demetrious Johnson who everyone considers to be a GOAT in the second outing was incredible and they train together whenever Demetrious Johnson is having a fight camp.

Even Jon Jones had a camp with Henry Cejudo when he returned, so his skill level even though he is not active gives him the advantage as he is a Olympic winner and any opponent who faces him will fear the takedowns including Aljamain Sterling.

let's hope BTC won't sink further and go into 25k$ range because if we do that , I think during summer we might see bitcoin under 20k again. This is just my scenario based on my personal experience during bear and bull markets.
I am also not expecting the market to go down deep as this looks like a minor correction after weeks of rally and hopefully we will not see the market going down below $25k because the reason for the rally is because of the fear in the conventional financial market and hyper inflation and if the cryptocurrency market goes down deep then it means people are loosing trust in this space as well and hopefully that is not the case.

MS Dhoni may be dropped from the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings in IPL. 
Are you saying that the IPL will penalize Ms Dhoni and may force him to sit outside for slow over rate ? or are you saying that CSK will be dropping MS Dhoni as their captain permanently because of the bowlers he has. Either way, Ms Dhoni has a huge fan base in Chennai and i really doubt they would force him to sit out due to slow over rate as it will irritate the fans as we all want to see him bat and in his last few years of his Cricketing career.

The best case right now would be Nassr finishing second, they are going to be upset with such result for sure, but they just have to accept that fact. If they can somehow convince Mourinho to get there, the difference will be huge, they can actually win the league by a lot of points, it's obvious how they should play and the talent they need at which positions, he would take this team to another level without a doubt, he would help more than even Ronaldo could.
Nassr recently fired Rudi Garcia from the coaching position and the rumor is that it is because of a dispute with Cristiano Ronaldo which means he will be given the upmost priority when they are making major decisions and then the willingness of Jose Mourinho to move to Saudi Arabia which is highly unlikely and the speculation is that Jose Mourinho will be moving to PSG.

Match continue and lets see who will win this match and maintain their position in Point Table  Cheesy
Looks like Rajasthan Royals is on route to win this match as Lucknow Super Giants is yet to pick up a wicket and RR is cruising to victory with the way things are going as RR only need 75 more runs to win with 55 balls left and with 10 wickets in hand LSG needs to take wickets now to put any sort of pressure to make the match interesting, if not it will be a rare one sided match.  

Edit: LSG is picking wickets to take the match deep, match is getting interesting.

Nate prefers to block strikes with faces, rather than with gloves or shoulder Cheesy I think we would get an early stoppage due to bruises that is gonna cover Nate eyes, because in boxing we dont often see sea of blood on boxers faces. Either ref stops a fight to let doctors check open wound and try to close it, or between rounds those would are closed. Also it seems that such close to professional fights / semi exhibition does not allow a lot of blood due to young audience (just my assumption).
It is true that Nate Diaz absorbs more strikes with small gloves in MMA and even if you spar with them you tend to get punched in the face as you cannot really block all the punches with the small gloves but they are Boxing with proper bigger gloves and he will be able to defend them and with enough padding and bigger gloves we might not see him bleed like he used to do in MMA.

One thing is certain, Nate Diaz will not gas out like the rest of the MMA fighters and it is difficult to knock him out as he has a strong chin.

We can bring improvement in this game and bring more peoples in fanbase as well but here we need professional approach not business deals if we have former cricketers and better peoples to handle all things in ICC things can change drastically and results can also improve but this mindset which is allowing just big 3 or 4 to rule this all is creating big mess-up Sri Lanka, West Indies former World Champions in ODI and T20i are struggling badly and test format is also having big setbacks which are not going to recover in near future with this current approach and mind-set of current management.
West Indies became World Champions under Clive Lloyd and they were not getting any major support from the ICC nor their respective board and so is the case with Sri Lanka, under Arjuna Ranatunga they became World champions and majority of the players expenses were taken by the captain and still they became World champions and so is the case with India winning the ODI World cup in 1983 who never had a coach.

So to uplift the game, you either need to have a dedicated captain or a board to find the talents and the ICC will not elevate the game and groom the players.

 Samson has been performing well with a half-century despite a slow start of 32/60. Padikkal has also been making efforts for a good performance although RR's position in the match was challenging. Though the match is now in the final stages and we'll have to see how it unfolds.
Sanju Samson played an incredible innings taking on Rashid Khan scoring 3 sixes in a row and he got out at the worst moment for the team but Shimron Hetmyer played the crucial innings by staying till the end and scoring the winning runs and on top of that Dhruv Jurel and Ravichandran Ashwin
scored useful runs during crucial moment which helped RR and yet another thriller which went to the last over.

It will not be an easy fight for Max. Allen is just like Volkanoski.
Max fighting not as well as he does back then after losing 3 times against Volkanov. It disappointed a lot of fans who cheered up and lost every time against Volkanovski. Not even sure if he can get another chance if he beats Allen in the toe to toe fight. I will still go for Holloway though. The fight could still end up in a decision.
Alexander Volkanovski is that good in the feet and he hits hard and has the ground game and hence Max Holloway is finding it difficult to adjust to his pace, the rest of the fighters he will be able to defeat and he wont be getting another title shot in the near future unless the champion changes.

~
Now the result of my picks
Ion Cutelaba was a good pick, i was not confident in that pick because i am not following his career and Edson Barboza really surprised everyone and as expected Max Holloway will defeat anyone in the division except Alexander Volkanovski Grin.

~
The big surprise at this event was Azamat Murzakanov and Edson Barboza, both of them underdogs and both were easy wins.
I was not surprised with Azamat Murzakanov as he is undefeated and usually finishes his opponents and i was actually surprised when i saw him as an underdog, never miss those opportunities  Cheesy.

Does anyone really think that Russian elections are purely dependent on proportion of votes? I remember Putin briefly said that his government won't let other powers to come in government because it may be dangerous for Russia. I remember he said it when one journalist asked him a question about Navalny.
Does this sentiment shared by all the political parties globally, Democrats claim only they can be the saviors and anything further than that can ruin the country and likewise with Republicans.

I hope that no one believes that Russian statistics regarding the popularity of Putin is true. Well, if you go out and your friends who were Anti-Putin turned into Pro-Putin, then that's a very sad news.
How is he winning the elections for decades if he is not popular among his countrymen.

~
Oh and one thing, I don't doubt unemployment is down in Russia, with 300 000 dead and maimed for life and a further 400 000 kidnapped from the streets to serve in the military pretty obvious a ton of job openings are available right now!
The same is heard about Kyiv forcing people to fight in the front line without any training and people from 18 to 60 are prohibited from leaving the country after the martial law is implemented.

~
I live in Russia, in a province quite far from Moscow. I can't say that in economic terms nothing has changed over the year - some things got better, some things got worse. In general, people here live an ordinary normal life.
Good to hear from people who actually live there and that is the information that is shared by news media in my country as well as most of the Western media only share propaganda which has nothing to do with reality.

^^ All of a sudden everyone is overlooking Max Holloway as the gatekeeper of the division, as far as i am concerned his achilles heel is Alexander Volkanovski and i feel like he could defeat anyone else in the division other than Volkanovski. Another fight i am looking forward is Azamat Murzakanov who is the underdog in the fight and i am expecting the fight ends in a knockout as both are great strikers.

Second match is even more entertaining as it has blistering knock of Babar Azam, i.e., 101 on just 58 balls. After very long time both Babar and Rizwan have performed in a T20I match, Rizwan has scored 50 on 34 balls. We saw New Zealand batting collapsed in first match under 100 while they where chasing 182 runs. Today they are chasing 193 runs. New Zealand need to take on Pakistan pace attack from the start to win today's game.
Babar Azam played an incredible innings even when wickets were falling around him and along with Mohammad Rizwan Pakistan got a great start but then wickets started to fall and at one point it looked liked they will be struggling to score anywhere they scored in the end and Iftikhar Ahmed was crucial in helping them by scoring at one side which eased the pressure on Babar Azam giving him the freedom to break loose in the end.

Most of the indian fans were not happy about H.Brook performance because his performance for England and in PSL were totally different compared to IPL, but tonight through his power hitting he smashed his opponent and scored a century.
With 3 disappointing innings Harry Brook needed an innings like this to solidify his position in the team and that innings helped the team achieve a good total to defend against an in form KKR who has some power hitters down the order.

While on the other hand R.Singh and other batter try hard to achieve the required target but unfortunately they failed and lose an important match
Was not expecting another magical performance by KKR but if the top order played well who knows they would have chased down the score as Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh played an incredible knock.

85 percent of all thefts and frauds are usually inside jobs.
with digital currency it becomes even easier..
because it is much harder to trace how exactly it happened.
Majority of the hacks are due to the inadequate measures taken by the exchange and are inside jobs but the fact remains that every transaction can be traced and anyone who thought that they could get away with any major hack cannot simply disappear with the loot even if they use mixers, a detailed study could identify the people behind the hack.

For reference, the Bitfinex hack where 119,754 BTCitcoin was hacked and once the coins started moving the investigators were able to track them and catch the real culprit. So the idea of, it is hard to track is a farce as this is the easiest to track than the banking system.

It wouldn't be surprising for him to accept BTC again in the future but the Doge community will be upset if he doesn't continue trolling. It's strategic for him to do it. He has Tesla Stocks to manipulate and he also has Doge to play around with.
It is highly unlikely he will be manipulating the Tesla stocks after SEC was after him and now the heat will be much higher if he does anything with the stock market after he purchased Twitter. In the cryptocurrency space he might be doing that indirectly like the recent logo change in Twitter with Doge and so on but he will be doing them at the right moment rather than random manipulation  Grin.

Sunrisers are rising like crazy. They screwed my bet on KKR thanks to fantastic performances in literally every single department. Harry freaking Brook just proved why he is the new superstar in several formats of cricket.
Harry Brook finally made an impact in the IPL that helped Sunrisers Hyderabad score 228 runs and with the way things are going SRH should win the match.

KKR looks like they will lose by 100+ runs pretty easily at the rate at which they are going. Epic comeback SRH!
Nitish Rana is scoring freely and their hero in the last match Rinku Singh is still in the crease and the target is still an taunting task as they still need 108 runs off 42 balls and SRH needs to pick wickets if not even this match will become a nail biting one  Grin.

I suppose you are more confident about them so why you are staying away from decentralized coins like BSC and similar? Despite of BSC being decentralized, it was still owned by the largest CEX namely Binance.
Binance smart chain (BSC) is centralized, they only have 21 validators and it is controlled by them and how can you claim that to be decentralized. After all it is an exact copy of Ethereum source code with slight changes and if Binance falls everything will fall along with it  Grin.

Maybe that is the reason why you are doubting if they are truly decentralized or not? Many crypto exchanges preferably CEX have became more regulated and they now require a KYC but some of them especially the DEX will remain as is. If you are still doubting about them then just monitor them actively and leave quickly once you see something that is suspicious.
It is easier to say that to monitor everything and withdraw if there is any signs of issue, when the FTX issue started, i tried to withdraw my coins and now it is a long wait on when i would get the money even though they honored them through official channels.

But I think the beauty of cricket is lost through such outs.  There are many rules for getting out in cricket, why did they not choose this method of mankad out again and again instead of getting out according to that rule. Bowlers who choose to make such dismissals should be ashamed of themselves.
Lets clarify this first, Mankading is legal according to the Cricketing rules, you need to consider this in the context of the game. It was considered as unprofessional when bowlers had the upper hand and the batsman were playing without any safety precaution (no helmet, no body protection) and with a leg stump line aiming at the head and now a days all the rules favor batsman, there is a limit to bouncers, fielders placed and then the batsman wants to take advantage by starting to run from the non striker end even before the ball is bowled, it is not a fair practice and there is nothing wrong in picking the wicket through Mankading simply because all the rules favor batsman in modern day Cricket.

The situation in the last match is that the bowler failed to take the bail before leaving the bowling crease and it cannot be considered a run out because it is a dead ball if the ball is not released and the bowler already left the bowling crease.

 After elon changes the logo of twitter back to what it should be and it was giving a huge depreciation to the price of doge coin.
That hype that already made by elon was only happening for short term unlike when bitcoin will be going to the moon.

It will be making long term hype to the any altcoins in the market.
We should expect these sort of hype from Elon Musk as he is behind Dogecoin and the sole reason its market rises is because of his indirect promotion through Twitter and since he owns the social media company, i wont be surprised if he make Dogecoin the main coin for the platform to send money and that alone can boost the price further.

Since the BTCitcoin market is rallying people might sell off their alts and jump into the rally and ride them and it is common practice in this space.

Wow. I'm hyped. I've gotta give it to Jake as this is no easy fight and might even be tougher than Tommy Fury if I'm being honest.
Nate Diaz is a tough match but i am not happy with the 185 pound division he is fighting for the event because for the most part Nate Diaz was fighting at 155 pound in the UFC but if it was Nick Diaz then it would be a perfect match up considering the weight division.

^ Fury was an actual boxer though. Nate Diaz is not. He’s most skilled in jiu jitsu which he will not be able to use. This is a step back for Jake, but it will be a more entertaining fight. Nate Diaz has so much scar tissue in his face he’s going to be bleeding like a stuck pig by the end of the second round. The pictures will be epic. I’m sure it’ll be the biggest payday of his life too.
True that Nate and Nick are exceptional BJJ experts but they are boxing for a long time and mostly training with elite boxers including Andre Ward and Nate is really durable even though he will be bleeding easily. Nate has a huge fan following and i still feel that UFC did not take full opportunity of his popularity till he faced Conor for the first time.
