Red Bull don't even need to reveal their car as it isn't hard to predict how fast it will be.  Unfortunately I have no choice other than watching this boring Red Bull dominance for at least 2 more seasons.  Don't get me wrong I don't have anything personal against Red Bull normally. I was thinking the same for Mercedes also when they were highly dominant. I just don't like it when there isn't any competition for the title between at least two drivers. Competition is in the nature of Formula 1 normally. But dominant teams are really killing the competition. I hope FIA do something about it as of 2026 season.  For sure we will see another dominant race for Red Bull but let's wait for it because some teams will also be having their new Machine, and right now we are just waiting if that machine can do great on the track or not, but if you look at the progress of the winnings for the last season we can see that Red Bull really dominant the whole season, but you can see that Red Bull didn't really dominant the last season completely we can say that Ferrari and McLaren have snuck some win in there if not the Podium Carlos Sainz getting that 1 time 1st place for the Ferrari, for sure there is a chance that there will be a shift of Dominance that may happen, @owengtam09
Really nice video of the unveiling of the new RB car for 2024 season!
Totally forgot it will be in another month as the time is quickly approaching for the new season so let's get to it already!
Thanks for sure Mercedes and Alpine have already announced their new Machine that will likely be great for this season, I don't know if all teams in the F1 will be announcing their own Machine if they had one they would be good too go racing for sure but a new Machine will surely have new upgrades and possibilities of dominating this season again,
F1 Academy news right now well, if Bianca Bustamante is joining McLaren as their driver development program and in the new F1 Academy team Art Grand Prix she will be their new driver, along with William Racing's 17-year-old Lia Block, so these two are the confirmed drivers for ART Grand Prix, Tina Hausmann represent Aston Martin for the 2024 F1 Academy and will be driving for Prema Racing alongside Doriane Pin that is a Mercedes Junior Program, while Carrie Schreiner will be part of the Campos Racing team and joining Sauber Academy development programme, while Alpine Junior Abbi Pulling will be joining Rodin Motorsports, for the new set up for the teams and drivers for the F1 Academy so far that is the announce drivers they have |

Congratulations to you guys who bet for Magomed Ankalaev. I should've taken that KO/TKO win.  But it's okay, a win is still a win. Johnny Walker did great in the first round showing an impressive usage of his kickboxing style. He was so aggressive offensively and I really thought he might win that fight if he could just land one of those kicks. Ankalaev on the other hand started slow, he ain't throwing much in the first round, and then the bad low blow. Ouch! The second round was so bad for Walker, he is just circling around not throwing anything. His kicks are scary although risky but one hit could definitely change the game. But Ankalaev got him first, what a great accurate powerful punch, and just one follow-up punch made the referee decide to stop it and I think that's a perfect stoppage or else there will be more damage. It's too strong that Walker bounced on the cage and obviously that's lights out for him. I bet Anakalaev's camp will now be hunting for the title match this year. Thanks! I just got 2 correct but because I have put a huge amount on Magomed Ankalaev it was a juicy win for me, after this fight, Ankalaev's camp will surely be busy cooperating with the UFC to give them that title fight but for sure the UFC wants the belt to be kept by Alex Pereira so they will surely arrange something for Ankalaev before that title match, for sure Alex Pereira right now is a big money for the UFC and he will definitely give him another title match in another division that is for sure,
@owengtam09
Congratulations on the selections you have got correct for this UFC 84 in Vegas as yours was on the previous page so did not see them when I responded to YuginKadoya.
But well done and it is the first event of the year so this is just a warm up session for us fans.

For sure I will be looking forward to that 1st day of training for the F1 and it will be in Sakhir, Bahrain, actually, I am really excited after that last race and great performance for Max Verstappen that I got much more interest with F1 racing now, and performance wise clearly Red Bull will surely attain their dominance even in this season,
Many are looking forward to that F1 testing race even though it is just a test February 21 seems like a long wait and just like you I am also looking forward to the upcoming race, after that dominance of Red Bull, what do many things in store for us in the year 2024, and there are many questions for sure, do Red Bull and Max Verstappen still remain dominant this year, or he can see an equal footing with the Ferrari, or McLaren, as this two teams have surely given the fans some bliss of seeing that there is a chance for other teams to face Red Bull or Max Verstappen just going to break most records this year, and for sure I can not wait for that to happen,
BREAKING NEWSAfter the Launching of the new Challenger for 2024 by Mercedes and Alpine, Red Bull is also preparing for their 20th season of Formula 1 they will show off the new car they will use to contest it on February 15, here is the clip https://x.com/redbullracing/status/1746910165109015002?s=20  So we are expecting a new Machine for Season 20, so because the old machine was RB19 this must be RB20 for sure, the new machine and the new upgrade could be there for the car, and for sure Max Verstappen is excited about using this new machine and like while Sergio Perez and speaking of Perez he is thankful enough for Red Bull for giving him another chance this year, and for sure we will see another tandem of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez for sure, |

It looked like he tried to copy his tactic from their first fight, but he overdid feints and Ankalaev started checking calf kicks, so Walker was out of ideas and decided to be at least entertaining and memorable.
That capoeira move had zero chances of landing, absolutely anyone could see it from a mile away. But at least it was funny.
He has copied his latest move set, which is why Magomed Ankalaev is used to Johnny Walker's movement a bit, and looking into Ankalaev that Feint when he raised his feet, was superb in kicking Ankalaev in the Groin it also an effect that made Walker defend that for sure Johnny Walker is really great and fast, but Magomed Akalaev feint thinking, and switching to Orthodox was the real thing that made Walker take a mistake, This would make a lot of sense sport-wise, but I doubt Pereira would be very excited about such a fight. If Pereira is going for the money, his best move would be to go back down to the middleweight and fight the winner of Strickland Vs DuPlessis, or fight Adesanya again (in the middleweight) if rumors of Adesanya wanting to come back are true.
For sure Dana White will give it to him after what he did against Jiri Prochazka and his back-to-back fight against Israel Adeanya for sure that is a big money and because Alex Pereira is a big money for the UFC they will give him the fight he wants and if Pereira can attain 2 belts he will be a bigger start and a walking money for all the challenges he took, |

Bayern are playing a more flexible game on the pitch, whereas they used to play with a pressing character. Their attacks are not so aggressive and effective compared to before. Even though Bayern plays very well on the pitch, it is certain that they are in a weak position compared to their rivals in the Champions League. They give too many positions. Even though he didn't have a striker, it was better under Nagelsman in my opinion. I think Tucheli will be sent at the end of the season.
No mistake for sure Bayern Munich is now too cautious in their play because an Error will be another lead for Leverkusen, if that happens it will be another wasted opportunity and could lead them to lose the Championship for sure that is what Bayern Munich was doing and they can not afford any more lost and if Bayern Munich lose this season it is goodbye for Thomas Tuchel that could be true, Stuttgart should have no difficulty against Gladbach, but once again the hosts are definitely aiming for the same number of points so they can continue to survive in the Bundesliga. Stuttgart may be at the top at the moment but if they can't win against a team with quite a big gap, it's certain that Stuttgart will have a dark end to the season. A narrow defeat may be quite natural, but with a difference of 2 it proves that Stuttgart does not have complete control.
And Monchengladbach won the game for sure it is really unpredictable but looking at the game I may bet on Stuttgart aswell and get that lost, but for sure all of my bets for that matchday had already been lost most games ended in a draw for sure that long break has refreshed and have to relax most players for each team so yeah it was a sure lost indeed, while Stuttgart losing to Gladbach is something unimaginable but for sure this is football anything can happen, In fact, it was a very weak performance from Stuttgart compared to the previous game-weeks, but does that really have anything to do with the absence of Guirassy? I'm sure he's obviously one of the best in the team but even with him they probably wouldn't have won because the team was generally weak. I hope they get better again.
We can not say a team is particularly weak just because a member didn't play or even if he was in the lower position in the Bundesliga a team can still win and be formidable in 1 or 2 of their games sometimes the team that is likely to win underestimate the team that is down the position or the Bundesliga had a long break so they are likely just been on a break and they are not in their 100% in the game, |

I wouldn't call that a black streak but more of a weird streak. Overall, that 'no contest' first fight against Walker turned to work fine for him after all. He got paid twice and got his win anyway. Walker was quite entertaining, but he looked afraid of Ankalaev, like he was throwing all those stunt moves in an act of desperation, to keep Ankalaev away or something. It didn't look like a well-thought-through strategy. Does anybody have any update on Hill? Has he fully recovered from whatever injury he had suffered? If so, he should be the one fighting Pereira next and Ankalaev could face a winner of Prohazka Vs Rakic, and whoever wins gets the next title shot.
Ankalaev Vs Walker 2 highlights (only 5 mins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KXTWuxRLl4Yup! I agree Johnny Walker was really desperate to get those moves over Anklaev and instead of getting distracted Magomed Ankalev was really focused into the fight, that Capoeira move was really hilarious while Johnny Walker was doing it, and for sure it was really stylistic in doing the moves but for damaging Ankalaev it was zero effect on him, so why do such thing, I think Hill is still not available so Magomed Ankalaev's next opponent should be Alex Pereira, if Jamal Hill still is not available,
I got a lot more wins than losses but still, I got a loss my pick is 2 out of 3 so it was not really that bad, so here is the result of my picks for today's UFC Fight Night Ankalaev vs. Walker Magomed Ankalaev (1.19) VS Johnny Walker (4.80) - WIN  2nd Round was all Ankalaev needed to defeat Walker, well actually 1 round is what Ankalaev needed because, in the 1st round, Magomed Ankalaev had a slow start and a slow pace for this fight Ankalaev is just looking for an opening and seeing how Walker moved, and surely pressuring Johnny Walker and Walker backing out from that feint, and that low blow to Johnny was not that hard but for sure it is still painful to Johnny's part and for sure Johnny got the rest he needed, and Magomed need to be careful but in the round 2 it was really in favor for Magomed and he keeps on pressuring Walker and as Johnny Walker moves closer Magomed Ankalaev got that opening shot and 1 mistake from Johhny and the fight was all finish as Ankalaev does have knockout power, Jim Miller (1.67) VS Gabriel Benitez (2.21) - WIN Actually, Gabriel Benitez has a great strategy for keeping his distance while getting those strikes and kicks but Jim Miller is returning those shots with devastating force, and for sure Miller is getting these takedowns Benitez doesn't know what he was doing while pin on the ground, not a great fight for Gabriel Benitez because now that Miller knew that his opponent can be taken to the ground and doesn't have a takedown defense, and so the 3rd round was for Jim Miller and for this fight, it was clear that Jim Miller won it with a submission, Ricky Simon (1.55) VS Mario Bautista (2.48) - LOST What a performance for these two and they have shown that both of them have the potential to improve for sure in this fight Mario Bautista shot 13 takedowns but 2 were the only successful ones, while Ricky Simon really has a good takedown defense from that he has had a good volume of strikes to win this fight and for sure he is doing really great, while Simon has good striking for sure for all that striking and accuracy he has given to Ricky Simon, for sure the damage prevails from this fight and those takedown doesn't have any score at all but with those striking Mario Bautista is a clear winner, |

I was really late making my picks but here are the results for yesterday's pick Memphis Grizzlies (3.65) VS New York Knicks (1.31) - WIN In the 1st half, the Memphis Grizzlies are leading the game but at the start of the 2nd half the New York Knicks are getting their rhythm and have taken the lead for the Grizzlies for sure after a couple of games and now Ja Morant gets injured and now the Memphis Grizzlies are struggling with every game and also they have a lot of injuries another main key player was Desmond Bane that can not play for this game, while the New York Knicks got Isaiah Hartenstein has a double-double, OG Anunoby, Miles McBride, and Julius Randle's double-double, San Antonio Spurs (2.85) VS Chicago Bulls (1.45) - WIN Great start for the Chicago Bulls and getting the 1st half for this game they really were on fire mode that night and were leading the game until the 4th quarter started where the San Antonio Spurs suddenly managed to get back from that and would lead the game aswell but the Chicago Bulls managed to get back the lead and win this game that was Spurs without Wembanyama but Tre Jones and Keldon Johnson that is really getting the Spurs together but still the Bulls are just build different With Ayu Dosunmu, Nikola Vucevic has a double-double and DeMar DeRozan, Dallas Mavericks (1.71) VS New Orleans Pelicans (2.19) - LOST Well, this is the only loss I gained and I thought that the Mavericks could get this game but they didn't because they got a great start with this game and the end of the 1st half was for the Dallas Mavericks, but the 3rd quarter the New Orleans Pelicans had turned the table for this game had won this at the end of the game, that is a Mavericks game without Luka Doncic I thought that Kyrie Irving will be great without Luka because Derrick Jones and Tim Hardaway will be there to support him but it was hard for them to win without Luka Doncic but it was a close game with the Pelicans because the Pelicans doesn't have their main key Players but they still manage to get this game a win for them, |

The results for the Bundesliga bet yesterday SC Freiburg (2.09) - DRAW (3.20) - FC Union Berlin (3.45) - LOST Pretty the Union Berlin did a great job with their defense and getting this game into a Draw but for sure Freiburg did everything in their power to win this game sure game stats are just too close to say that it is a draw game, this is what happened to Freiburg if they had many injuries at the moment and surely can not handle winning this game for sure all of that 13 shots and nothing comes in there is certainly a problem with your aim and yeah the game ended in a devastating lost for me because to was a draw, RB Leipzig (1.45) DRAW (4.50) Eintracht Frankfurt (6.60) - LOST For this game, I thought that RB Leipzig could win this game but for sure Frankfurt won it somehow, but it was a devastating loss for me again looking at the game stats 31 shots and the goal for Leipzig is zero for sure the defense of Frankfurt was amazing they didn't let the Leipzig team make any goals at all and it ends up with my lost or this has happened because Leipzig also got plenty of injuries as well that is why they have struggled in making their goal, FC Augsburg (5.60) DRAW (4.20) Bayer Leverkusen (1.53) - WIN Now Leverkusen has truly done brilliant work instead of going with the Draw one of their players that they can win this with or without Victor Boniface on the team for sure they made a goal from that 24 shots they made only 1 made it, but for sure they are doing great right now as always and this time it was Exequiel Palacious made a big run and made their 2 monsters take their form for now, but right now they're ended with a win and I think that is the most important part for them right now, |

Now here are my picks for the UFC Fight Night Ankalaev vs. Walker Magomed Ankalaev (1.19) VS Johnny Walker (4.80) OK for this fight Johnny Walker looks fast and tall compared to Magomed Ankalaev, but for me, Magomed Ankalaev is still the more technical between the two and with that wrestling for me Magomed has more power with his striking a knockout artist, so this fight can end with a knockout or a submission for Magomed Ankalaev, but if Johnny Walker can be nimble and could evade Ankalaev Striking and defended all those takedowns there is a tendency that this fight could again end with a decision win for Ankalev aswell, so my pick is Magomed Ankalev, Jim Miller (1.67) VS Gabriel Benitez (2.21) For me Jim Miller even in his 40 age he is still good at his striking and has wrestled for me you can not see that he is a declining fighter and many still like him to win this fight for sure Jim Miller can do this one, while Gabriel Benitez is also great actually if he keeps his distance and used the range with kicks and with those strikes and could accumulate good output he can win this fight, but if Miller can take this on the ground he can surely get this because Benitez weakness will be on the ground but for sure if Jim Miller could still take this on the ground and Benitez doesn't have great takedown defense then my pick is Jim Miller, Ricky Simon (1.55) VS Mario Bautista (2.48) In this fight, Mario Bautista has great striking he also has great scrambling in the ground but for sure not as good of a wrestler as Ricky Simon, although Ricky Simon just got decent striking he surely has great wrestling that will be his weapon, and bread and butter for this fight while Mario Bautista but for sure that clinch is what he has, but if Ricky Simon can get this fight to the ground he can surely get this because he has great wrestling than Bautista for sure that is why my pick is Ricky Simon, |

It's always pleasant to watch Dustin Poirier's boxing, I love this fighter.
This fight of Tsarukyan vs Oliveira will be very interesting too because as you mentioned, he is one of Islam's toughest opponent. I think that Oliveira will beat him, he is in a phenomenal shape and probably can't wait to beat Islam.
My prediction: Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira wins
Dustin Poirier surely is a great fighter and he is claiming that he is a black belt in Jui-Jitsu aswell but aside from that he has great boxing, so if Benoît Saint-Denis is not nimble with his striking he will get clobbered by Dustin Poirier, as Poirier is great with his boxing while Benoît Saint-Denis if he will not get his takedown on Poirier for sure Dustin Poirier has good takedown defense as shown from his fight, so maybe Benoît Saint-Denis might loose here, While Charles Oliveira VS Arman Tsarukyan is an interesting fight for me I will look at both fighters' fight against Beneil Dariush to determine who is the fighter that will have a great performance for sure this is a fight that will be interesting and for sure Charles Oliveira will have a higher odd, I have also done homework on Benoit Saint Denis and look why Dustin is an underdog in this fight and took a lot of risk by accepting BSD as an opponent. At this division 34 is the age when you should think about finishing a career, so you wont transform into Ferguson. Peak age is 31-32. Look at the amount of fights BSD and Poirier had, look at fight length and opponents they've got. Poirier took already so much damage during his career, that makes harder and harder to take damage. A guy can be experienced as grand master 999 dan black belt in anything, but as he previously took 1000 punches to face, his experiences wont safe his chin from turning glass.
Yup! As the years progress that chin of Dustin Poirier will become glass for sure and when that time comes a solid punch will extremely hurt him sure he is nearing his retirement while Benoit Saint-Denis is just 28 years old he looks older than Poirier for me Benoit Saint-Denis is still an improving fighter and his wrestling is just that great while Dustin Poirier does have wrestling he is not often using it, for sure there is a valid reason why the odds was for Benoit Saint-Denis but still that is not matters as sometimes the underdog can usually prevail, |

Truth be told owengtam09 I was not too excited to see this card when I first heard about it, being the first fight event of the year and all with the fighters having all that time off for the holidays and two extra weeks afterwards you would be thinking octagon rust.
But no, it will be fine and the fights are starting to grow on me too.
Yup! This is the 1st fight of the year and yes there might be some who are not really interested in seeing the rematch for Ankalaev VS Walker but there are some who because there is no certain available event are excited that there are right now, sure if this is a bigger event that we got in the start of the year the next event will not be appreciated for sure so a fight night like this will be appreciated by some, because right now they are thankful to have an event, because of the long wait, Mape was the fight I was wanting to see aswell since he had three cancelled fights last year and then fought Felipe Dos Santos and won. So he is back on my interest of a fighter radar again.
Are you talking about Manel Kape? if so his opponent was Matheus Nicolau who is also a great fighter even though he got lost against Brandon Royval it doesn't mean that he will not do well against Manel Kape for sure he will do great as they already face each other on March 13, 2021, and it was a clear close match but I think Matheus Nicolau did well with his takedowns and now that they are back maybe I would go with Matheus Nicolau for this one, As for all this Aspinall and Bones Jones talk, it has been all talk so far.
And that is all it has been and to me.
This is quite boring to hear from these two if they are not going to throw down.
Right now there is no official statement from Dana White and the UFC so yes this is just a boring talk to witness but if there is an official statement that the UFC and Dana White to say a fight schedule then we can surely see it taking place right now it is just talk, |

With the trade deadline less than a month away now the talk is starting to heat up. I’m seeing a lot of reports that the Lakers have started discussions with the Cavaliers about trading for Donovan Mitchell. It seems like we’re likely to see Mitchell or Zach LaVine in a Lakers uniform in a few weeks.
That would be great for the Los Angeles Lakers but that would be if the players would want to be traded, on their team if there are certainly other options let's just wait for the final judgment, as for sure Zach LaVine will be a great asset for the Lakers LaVine will be a great defender and with his offense it is a pretty natural good pass for Anthony Davis passing to LaVine and Donovan Mitchell is another great player that would be a good Steal for them but for sure is a good back-up player for the team, he could be a tandem to Austin Reeves.
Yeah, doesn't make sense for him to ask for a trade again and then it will take years to build his chemistry with a new team. So what if the new team that he will go turns out to be as bad? He had Booker and Beal to him him out, perhaps just a few tweaks in the middle to help Nurkic.
They need a couple of years to build that chemistry and trust the process. So hopefully there will be no trade for Durant and see how far him and Booker can bring the Suns. And obviously it will be the finals.
For sure the Phoenix Suns will not trade Kevin Durant and for sure it would be really weird if he gets traded to a newer team you are right it doesn't make sense at all, it will become another building for that team to have Kevin Durant for sure they will need to establish their position on the team and remade their gameplay, that will be a risk to put such effort but for sure if that would be Detroit Pistons maybe and hope for the best that Kevin Durant will get used too in the team as early as he was traded, |

The result of my pick for games yesterday Orlando Magic (2.70) VS Minnesota Timberwolves (1.50) - WIN Pretty much it was a one-sided game and I was right to take the Timberwolves as many injured players on the Magic side is a big risk for sure because it got a close odd that means there are some trusting Paulo Banchero in this game but as I have seen it the Orlando Magic got plenty of those but they are having a hard time with the Minnesota Timberwolves because of the sizes of the players, the Timberwolves got Mike Conley Jr. getting double-double Naz Reid also have double-double, Rudy Gobert also got double-double for this game, and Karl Anthony-Towns that gotten the lead points, New York Knicks (1.15) VS Portland Trail Blazers (6.00) - WIN For sure the Trail Blazers are one of the struggling teams, while the New York Knicks are progressing pretty great for sure they are a team that is making good great winning right now Quentin Grimes Donte DiVincenzo and Miles McBride are getting great with their performance, but for this game it was Julius Randle again and OG Anunoby heavy lead score, while Jalen Brunson was for making the play and Isaiah Hartenstein got a pretty much great rebounding for this game, Dallas Mavericks (1.27) VS Memphis Grizzlies (4.00) - LOST This one I was baffled I really thought that the Mavericks were winning this and even without Ja Morant the Grizzlies were now playing well, while I thought that the Dallas Mavericks were already winning this game but I was wrong, even though Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving did play and got big points for this game it was not enough as their team doesn't do well while the Grizzlies got their 2 prominent scorers, Marcus Smart, and Desmond Bane they got a great score while the other players are there for back-up and scored 10 plus, that has made the Dallas Mavericks win this game, |

I don't know if you could call it dodging Tom. But UFC fans could tell Tom is in no way gonna have a chance to win if Dana puts them in the cage. Dana decides on the fights, he couldn't see Tom as the PPV type. Stipe and Jones are preferable.
Judging from Tom Aspinall's last performance against Sergei Pavlovich it is a master class one, he is more technical than Sergei Pavlovich that is for sure that is why he has a chance against Jon Jones in my opinion, I can say that he got a chance but still Jon Jones is another beast with technical striking and grappling so for sure it will be a great match to behold that is why for me I can not wait to see it, and the only thing stopping us from seeing it early is Stipe Miocic,
WOW! We got a new event this week it was really a long holiday break and sure many fighters pretty much need this long break right now but they also need to fight just to get their salary going, yeah this is an interesting fight for sure as Ankalaev right now got an ugly record of Draw and No Contest in his last fight he needs to really focus in this fight as for sure Johnny Walker's athleticism isn't a walk in the park,
For sure this new event will be lit, I only wish Magomed Ankalaev to be more active with his striking, or even work out on pressuring Walker with takedowns, because Johnny Walker surely can be dominated on the ground but for sure he is ready with those takedowns, Another fight that is going to be OK with me is the Co-Main Event Matheus Nicolau was recently defeated by Brandon Royval who was defeated by Alexandre Pantoja sure this fighter is interesting because before that lost to Royval he got 6 wins streaks, while Manel Kape has sheer will have 4 consecutive wins now, but against Nicolau this is a fight that is pretty much hard to predict that is why it is interesting, |
