This is my 1st time posting here and because I may have a liking to Racing but this is F1 racing well, it is still racing, and upon reading the previous post and seeing the upcoming practices and main matches that are upcoming, seeing the Bahrain GP Red bull team really outdid the Bahrain GP in both F1 driver  have gotten the 1st and the 2nd spot, Max Verstappen on the 1st position while Sergio Perez on the 2nd position, Well I love Ferrari (the car) but they just landed in the 4th position and the 19th position well looking at the Bahrain International Circuit I think it is quite easy, but in the next Circuit it is going to be quite difficult for most of the racers, well that's because of the absurd form of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit and because it contains the most corners in the entire F1 calendar with 24 corners if I am not mistaken and here is the Jeddah Corniche Circuit Map,

I totally missed the UFC Fight Night Yan vs. Dvalishvili but let's move on to the main event for the UFC,

I surely have missed a lot of great events it was a super busy 2 weeks for me I couldn't make any posts recently I was really used to posting for MMA threads than with the other sports, anyway about the main fights Just like what my gut feeling would tell me that Jon Jones could win against Ciryl Gane even though Jon Jones doesn't have much experience with the Heavyweight he is used to Light Heavyweight that has more technical fighters than the usual brawl, so it is just easy for him to leap up a division, and Ciryl Gane's usual weakness was even exposed even further and this time Gane isn't accustomed to a guillotine choke and he hasn't noticed what Jone Jones is even doing lifting Gane's chin to set up for a choke, it was really a crazy fight

While Alexa Grasso was more technical in her fight with Valentina Shevchenko and this is just the 2nd win of Grasso with a submission, it was like she is preparing to give herself a new sub-skill and that is her ground game pretty much Alexa Grasso honed herself with the striking she has a pretty much great standing that dominates Shevchenko on the feet, and Shevchenko isn't aware that Grasso can also submit her, because in paper Grasso isn't really utilizing much with submission attempts, so there was really a surprise factor in her part,


It was sad that I haven't made some bet for this event I am surely rooting for Jon Jones for this main event, but because I am busy I haven't made a quick bet for it, and with Alexa Grasso as well I was really rooting for her to win, and it feels really assuring that she will own that match for surely I have to move on forward for the next event and that was the UFC Fight Night

WOW! another thread for the UFC most of the time the only topic that I know was just MMA or boxing and there could be some of the NBA but because a lot of the players are now on the NBA I really have no idea, but I often post on some of the thread here and it was easier with the MMA because of certain sites I surely can get information about the fighters and I really love mixed martial arts and surely I do have experience in a little sparring on my recent school so I can surely relate,

Well the recent UFC Fight Night I surely missed it because of school activities we are having with my kids, it was pretty much busy lately, but pretty much I will look for the recent UFC events replay fights so I can have any idea what has really happened,

It seems many are still lingering with the UFC 284 and its result but certainly we are having another event and it is

Information was from: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/94589-ufc-fight-night

Now that the UFC 284 was finished it was a great fight that he has witnessed I don't really want to say that Volkanovski lost in that fight and I don't want to also say that he also lost,

Islam Makhachev (-400)
Alexander Volkanovski (+310) - LOST

It was really a close match for these two I really thought as well that both of them respected each other now, and if a rematch would continue on the horizon I think each fighter will be different in their strategy and approach, I really think that there is a way in giving Makhachev a hard time and this is it, Alexander Volkanovski could also in 1 point walk out as a winner in her as well, Alexander Volkanovski might have lost this fight but I think he can carry on with a great experience from this,

Yair Rodriguez (-190) - WIN
Josh Emmett (+160)

Yair Rodriguez has a taller guy than Josh Emmett, so there is no doubt when they face each other Rodriguez will never going to have a hard time getting the opening that he needed, and when Josh Emmett was not down with that punches, he has proven he can go into submission and with those huge wingspans he has to pull a triangle Choke on Josh Emmett,

I am really excited about this fight and pretty much here are my prediction for the UFC 284

Islam Makhachev (-400)
Alexander Volkanovski (+310)

This is a sure lot of profit when Alexander Volkanovski wins this, and many are doubting him and saying that Volkanovski will not have any chance at all, and yes for this fight Makhachev has an advantage with his weight, and Volkanovski coming from a lighter division will surely struggle, and yeah Makchachev is bigger than Volkanovski, but for me, Alex Volkanovski is faster than Makhachev he already said that Islam Makhachev will surely take him down but Alex Volkanovski already knew this he just got to find a way to stand back up again fast, and Alex Volkanovski Speed is really something he might give Islam Makhachev a hard time with that insane speed, and Volkanovski will surely blitz through Makhachev and finding ways to make the fight winnable for him, I want to see those jabs and leg kick from Volkanovski and he could win this with a decision for him winning,

Yair Rodriguez (-190)
Josh Emmett (+160)

Yair Rodriguez is a technical fighter well these two fighters surely have the opposite style and if Rodriguez is a more technical approach John Emmett will come to you without hesitation, but if Yair Rodriguez can intercepts all of that into a counter then I think Yair Rodriguez can win this so my pick is Yair Rodriguez,

Pretty much 2 of my picks have won, and I thought that I could get all correctly but it is still OK,

Derrick Lewis (+195)
Serghei Spivac (-235) - WIN

It seems I am correct with this decision and surely Serghei Spivac has gone with the wrestling and takedowns that Derrick Lewis pretty much has his weakness, and Lewis camps didn't care about checking on Spivac, they might be underestimating him that much for Lewis to make preparation because I haven't seen any preparation at all,

Da Un Jung (-235) - LOST
Devin Clark (+195)

Devin Clark has the majority of rounds for him, and he really dominated Da Un Jung getting into the fastest pace on matches he surely obliterated him with fast punches and kicks and also dive in with those takedowns but surely Da Un Jung has a tough chin to bash that is why it ended in a decision win, 

Marcin Tybura (-140) - WIN
Blagoy Ivanov (+120)

Marcin Tybura doesn't get a knockout win but the majority of the score goes to him for those many strikes he made, against Blagoy Ivanov and because Blagoy Ivanov got a granite chin it ended with a decision win,

Super busy this past holiday but coming back to make my bet for the UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Spivac

Derrick Lewis (+195)
Serghei Spivac (-235)

Spivac will surely be the favorite here this is the Heavyweight division and seeing how Derrick Lewis slims down could be a bad sign for him for me this is the Heavyweight and he is super thin now so I am doubting if he got the power to give to Spivac, and because he is readying to switch division for the Light Heavyweight, I really don't know if this is a great idea for him right now but for me, I will bet for the favorite Spivac,

Da Un Jung (-235)
Devin Clark (+195)

For this match, Devin Clark had a brutal fight with Ion Cutelaba and he surely has a decent chin and can recover from any damage, but Da Un Jung has real mad striking when he sees an opportunity he would likely take it, and that Elbow to Kennedy Nzechukwu was he nasty one Kennedy Nzechukwu was on high guard but his elbow is just penetrating from that tight guard it was really epic, so I am going with Da Un Jung,

Marcin Tybura (-140)
Blagoy Ivanov (+120)

For me because Marcin Tybura has gone toe to toe with the Black Beast I think I will go with Marcin Tybura, that was one hard fight for Derrick Lewis and I think Marcin Tybura has given his all to The Black Beast Derrick Lewis, I could say Tybura could surely last for this fight against Blagoy Ivanov, so my choice is Marcin Tybura,

I have missed the event as well, been pretty much busy this holiday season, but watching the main matches the Main and Co-Main have ended with a decision, but Amir Albazi VS Alessandro Costa, Alex Caceres  VS Julian Erosa, Drew Dober VS Bobby Green, Michał Oleksiejczuk VS Cody Brundage, and Said Nurmagomedov VS Saidyokub Kakhramonov was the fight that I think is the most interested, in this event, I was truly amazed at Amir Albazi Effort in getting Costa to the ground, in Alex Caceres power on striking, Drew Dober's left hook finish, Michał Oleksiejczuk strength, and Said Nurmagomedov grappling strength was I think the highlights for this fight,

Pretty much for so much attention he got himself in a position he can never return again, and after doing that he surely regrets it for the rest of his life, for sure there are many that are doing this kind of antic like Ion Cutelaba and his Hulk painted green all over, he surely giving life to his nickname, and Tom Lawlor wearing a mask and he ended up stumbling down was really hilarious and cringy, and going out with a bucket of KFC on his head and with a face mask and bag that looks like a robot, and lastly his Conor McGregor impersonation complete with a sticker tattoo on his chest, and Markus Perez dresses and face painted as the Joker, and Angela Hill that cosplayed as Sagat, and Dhalsim from the Street Fighter game, surely a little fun would not surely hurt,

And recently LFA 148 event Chris Brown won against Alfonso Leyva now LFA has an RNB Welterweight Champion,

My Picks and predictions for the UFC 282

Jan Błachowicz +290
Magomed Ankalaev -355

Right now the odds were for Magomed Ankalaev, the odds were from sports betting for this match Jan Blachowicz was pretty much great with his striking with the right timing and IQ he can predict some of the incoming strikes but he can not underestimate Ankalaev's stand-up as well because he can surely have good IQ aswell but the most devastating skill of Magomed Ankalaev will be on the ground, Blachowicz would need to be prepared with his takedown defense, for me he can not engage Ankalaev on the ground even though he practices heavy wrestling Ankalaev is a pretty much different beast on the ground, so for me my pick is Ankalaev,

Paddy Pimblett -251
Jared Gordon +211

For this fight, Paddy Pimblett really has the hype train in him, if Paddy lost in this fight the hype train will be all gone, Jared "Flash" Gordon is not a push, Paddy will surely need to be extra careful about him, and with his losing weight procedure for me, Paddy can not always do it, but it can also help with every fight he got, but for me, Paddy Pimblett is Unorthodox with his style he surely can become crafty in getting in your back and get that submission going, or even gets into a ground and pound if he is on top,

Jairzinho Rozenstruik -189
Chris Daukaus +180

This fight can end up only in the 1st or 2nd round because these fighters are heavy hitters that could end the fight very fast, for me Rozenstruik can be crafty with his striking while Daukaus can be letting very aggressive  with it, so for me, I am going for Jairzinho Rozenstruik,

After Seeing the LFA fight I was pretty much amazed at their fights, and because of that the upcoming event that I will post here will surely be great,

All information was from - https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/94842-lfa-148-leyva-vs-brown

Well pretty much It is an exciting match, but there is surely a known feeling that Magomed Ankalaev will win this that is why it is boring for some, but for me I want to see if Jan Blachowicz could make a big remarks in stopping Ankalaev here, Magomed Ankalaev will not pursue on takedowns at the 1st of the rounds he will surely brawl with you so Jan Blachowicz could have time in getting familiar with Ankalaev standing, but for sure there are a lot of frustration why the fight was change from Prochazka VS Teixeira to Blachowicz VS Ankalaev, pretty much all of that Surnames hard to say and spell, for me Ankalaev for the win for sure,

The next event is surprisingly good and there are a lot of fights that I like,

All information was from https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/92214-ufc-282

I surely agree although Lomachenko's style is unpredictable Devin Haney has proven that his undefeated record is not for show, and this fight will surely become history or a start of a rivalry, and the fight Devin Haney VS Vasiliy Lomachenko will be announced soon, I will surely wait for this fight and this fight will be fighting that many fans are really anticipating to see,


I have seen the fight and pretty much it is much controversial because of the way Ryo Akaho's late actions like he was hurt in the back of the head seem the key for Casimero in getting the win, it is a comeback fight that many of his fans were really waiting for, I really think that they have a huge chance to win when the fight was reviewed by the boxing officials, that it was not Casimero that have punched the back of the head of Akaho, but it was Akaho who did and the wrong call of the referee that it was a knockdown to Casimero was also a misjudgment of the referee, many are furious and booing on the crowd will also been heard outside the ring,

Results of my picks for the UFC Fight Night Thompson VS Holland

Stephen Thompson +175
Kevin Holland -160 - LOST

Kevin Holland was surprised by Stephen Thompson's speed it was really a crazy fight actually I have watched the replay because I haven't caught the live stream, for me Kevin Holland should have gone for the takedown just like what Khamzat Chimaev did to him, but again it was really a great fight to watch both fighters really respects one another smiling while fighting and because of that the fight was really fun to watch,

Rafael dos Anjos -550 - WIN
Bryan Barberena +400

Even though Bryan Barberena is much larger and taller than Rafael dos Anjos, he managed to take that opportunity to take that Submission move of a rear naked choke to Barberena, but yeah Bryan Barberena really is a tough one, but dos Anjos have made a clear statement that he has a plan,

Jack Hermansson -190 - LOST
Roman Dolidze +160

Roman Dolidze Calf slice Jack Hermansson and finished him with back control, for this fight, Hermansson should be the one in the advantage here but Roman Dolidze got the better of Hermansson by locking his calf and getting a win with a back finished,

Tracy Cortez - 100
Amanda Ribas + 100 - CANCELLED

I was really sad about what happened to Tracy Cortez getting some medical issue to cancel the fight, I really wish her good health and a fast recovery,

Now I will be giving my picks for the UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Holland

Stephen Thompson +175
Kevin Holland -160

Pretty Kevin Holland was the favorite to win here but pretty Wonderboy Thompson is famous for his spinning kick, which could hit Holland by surprise, but for this match, Holland has an edge on the ground and this is Holland's specialty against a striker like Thompson, for me, I will go with Kevin Holland,  that has an advantage on the ground,

Rafael dos Anjos -550
Bryan Barberena +400

For this fight, we all know Rafael dos Anjos and what he can do, but his opponent is more of a striker, and dos Anjos is pretty much well verse on the ground, for this fight, I guess we can see Rafael dos Anjos doing his scramble, on the ground, but Barberena can surely put more damage to RDA, but I will be going to the well-rounded fighter

Jack Hermansson -190
Roman Dolidze +160

For this fight, Jack Hermansson has the advantage over the odds, and pretty much I think Hermansson has the power to take down Dolodze, while Dolidze will focus on the stand-up when the fight would go down on the ground Jack Hermansson could be a ground and pound or a submission win for Hermansson,

Tracy Cortez - 100
Amanda Ribas + 100

For this fight, Amanda Ribas has a reach advantage but in this fight, both fighters have a ground game however Tracy Cortez if she can win it in a standup she will surely get it on with it, While Amanda Ribas can get fired up with the takedown, for me I think Amanda Ribas will win this for me I really want a more well-rounded fighter,  

It's great that I didn't go with a parley I would have lost because of the Orlando Magic, but I have won 4 out of 5 bets, so it isn't bad, pretty much the 76ers really have exploded their game and Shake Milton have lead the team to victory,

Brooklyn Nets -7 - 111 - WON
Portland Trail Blazers +7 - 97

Minnesota Timberwolves +1.5 - 114
Golden State Warriors - 1.5 - 137 - WON

Boston Celtics -7 - 130 - WON
Washington Wizards +7 - 121

Orlando Magic -2.5 - 103 - LOST
Philadelphia 76ers +2.5 - 133

Milwaukee Bucks -6 - 124 - WON
Dallas Mavericks +6 - 115

I haven't got a glimpse of PFL but moving forward we got ONE on Prime Video
