There were too many cancelled bouts which was a bummer and Jasmine Jasudavicius fought Gabriella Fernandes which was a short notice replacement, the main frustration is the André Muniz fight, who is coming into the bout with wins against Ronaldo Souza, Uriah Hall and he was no way near those caliber after watching the fight against Brendan Allen which i thought would be an easy pick and that pick messed my parlay  .

No Andre Muniz was not great in stand up as well, Brendan Allen won the first round just with stand up alone and in the second round Brendan Allen was controlling the positions and when Muniz tried to take down, Brendan Allen reversed the position which makes me think that i overestimated Andre Muniz .

Still with the dominating Redbull car. They would still top it out with it. The race is near and I hope it would be an entertaining season.

Yeah, I not only missed the Wolves upset, I actually had Mitrovic to score on another prediction. Serves me right for not waiting for lineup news.

I completely forgot there are 22 places to play for and not 10 actually. Suddenly my 50+ position doesn't look so bad (who am I kidding, right?). Anyway, I've got a lot more upsets lined up this week. Let's see me get 2 consecutive yellow caps maybe and then see if I can switch back to "normal"?

Ferrari is very fast in the single lap but a disaster in the race time and management of the tires so far, unless they are hiding.

Today watching tests I realized that's just one week remaining until start of new season. Before I was sure that there is few weeks break between tests and first race and season will begin in second part of March.
157 laps of Verstappen , it's like 3 full races in one day. As I understand, on 3rd day of testing Checo will have same opportunity to be on track whole day.
Also noticed Leclerc head shaking on straights, I thought that porpoising was just past season thing.

Since this weeks event is going to "not very interesting", and probably lots of you are going to skip and just watch replays, then I suggest you to spend few minutes and visit UFC 30th anniversary page. UFC has been with us for 30 years already. Just scroll down and swipe right UFC history. Lots of cool stuff there (that easily can be found on YouTube).

I was first introduced to UFC probably in 2009-2010, the time I've got unlimited fast internet and accidentally found KO compilation videos on YouTube. My interest to UFC has developed to downloading events from torrents, converting them and watching on iPhone small screen them during lectures   Now I watch almost every UFC event on huge TV on a fight channel

I'll get my predictions out soonish. Although, I'm probably not betting on this weekend. There's more interesting events coming up, and more opportunity to earn in my opinion. At the moment, I'm thinking Nikita Krylov gets it done against Spann, André Muniz against Brenden Allen, for not other reason than being the less experienced fighter, and the fact that Allen has let me down in the past, and finally I'm thinking that Tatiana Suarez gets the job done, probably via decision. There's a few pieshitters as tokeweed would say on this event, so I'd be careful with the odds being offered. A lot of them are a lot wider than the actual fights will show.

It's a good event, I think they'll be some decent competitive fights, I just know the Jon Jones event is going to be even better, and I want to make the most of that weekend with whiskey, and food .

Damn, guys. I must have missed 3 editions already, not that it matters, I don't think I'd have picked enough to win anything. So, hopefully that means I've purged the bad luck.

Salah, Nunez, Gakpo, all coming up to speed perhaps?

My next picks are unimaginative, despite injury worries for one or two of them. Mitrovic, Salah, Haaland, JWP, Antonio, Saka, Watkins.

To me it looked like a natural & healthy correction, as it seemed unlikely Bitcoin was going to simply carry on to the upside without a pullback, although I was expecting a little lower around $20.9K. Rebounding from where it did clearly left some bulls behind as many were also expecting slightly lower, which just went to show how bullish the sentiment was back then with price bouncing above support rather than within.

On another note last weeks -7.5% drop to $23.3K looked more concerning to me at the time, as it happened with reasonable volume and mostly within 4 hours. But then within a day price completely eradicated that correction with even more volatility. Now I see there are bearish wicks to the upside on Daily time-frame along with bullish wicks to the downside on lower time-frame, very much creating not much else but noise.


Not going to lie I was disappointed price didn't close last week above the August high of $24.3K, instead slightly below, but otherwise price is now comfortably above the 50 Week MA ($24.470) as it continues to decline which I think has had an instant positive impact. Regardless of the fact that last week it was at $24.7K and price closed below. If we keep knocking at the $25K door it will eventually break imo.

As you said this week will be crucial, either bullish with a close above $25K or bearish with a close below $24K, as the latter would be the second consecutive weekly rejection from long-term MAs (50 & 200 WMA).

So indeed winning the world cup and getting the golden glove cannot guarantee that his career will get attractive offers from Europe's top clubs. About Marcelo's rumors I have heard about it and it looks like it will come true he will reunite with his best friend Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

But not only that, reportedly Al-Nassr is also interested in signing Wilfred Zaha from Crystal Palace this summer. We know he is a pretty good player from last season to now, I think Al-Nassr is very serious about signing some players who are in Europe at the moment.

I like to see a younger champion for the woman's division just Erin Blanchfield is just perfect for me I think she is champ material now, back then I never think of her as a threat to any in the top but after that fight with Jessica Andrade, pretty much it sums it up that she is the real deal her wrestling ability is something to be afraid off for newer opponent in that division, and life Shevchenko didn't retired soon this could be a great fight to watch but because of her young age and Shevchenko's age pretty much Erin Blanchfield could take the W,
