I know they say that 'size doesn't matter' about many things including a lot of match ups made in MMA, but I guess in this case, it def does matter. Pereira is a natural 205'er competing at 185 and Adesanya on the other hand was just shown that he'll get over powered whatever he does. I mean Adesanya did almost got Pereira out at the end of the first round but other than that Pereira was taking it and biding his time. And when he saw his opportunity, Adesanya couldn't do anything. Ref had to stop it.
And I fancy Pereira fighting at 205 for the belt this year... Going for the ole double champ status.
Yeah, well it does matter to an extent. However, the size difference is mitigated more with better technique in MMA, and that's mostly only true when it comes to wrestling. Not striking, being bigger, and having more power behind your shots is definitely going to help you. Also, fancy him for the double champion status. He needs to work on his defensive takedowns, he shouldn't have been allowing Izzy to take him down, who basically has no experience in doing so at least in fights in the UFC. The thing about Alex, I don't think anyone's better than him at kickboxing, but Izzy. The thing with Izzy he hasn't got that natural frame like Alex does. If Izzy was a little bigger, then he'd probably have a lot more success on those that are bigger than him. Alex, moving up he could be smaller than some, but he's definitely not the smallest in that division either. Hah yeah.. If Adesanya was a tad bigger, he would've had a tad more power in his hands and Pereira woundn't have gotten out of the first round. That was Adesanya's only chance to take Pereira out for the whole match. Most times it was Adesenya keeping his distance until he got his back against the cage then had to move left or right until he couldn't. As for champ champ status, Pereira has to win the rematch first then move up cos if he loses it's gonna be another match up vs Adesanya. So yeah, both scenarios are good for Pereria as he'll still be at the or near the top of the ladder. Here's the Multi Master.

Just when everybody started getting really excited for the prospect of 30k, there was some whale who stop ran the shorts then possibly began shorting himself and thereby possibly stopping the trend for a couple of weeks or so and BTC starts going sideways again at maybe 20k - 23k.
So everybody itt who's buying at resistance, stop it for now. It's prolly gonna start going down, giving everybody a better price to get in. Just IMHO. Could be wrong.

^ This coming season with the recent change in team principal and prolly also the shuffling of people in the ranks and back room, yeah.. It's prolly gonna be a year of adjustments and tweaks. But for the last few years with Binotto at the helm, they were expected to win and yeah as you said they almost did with Vettel at 2018, tho it was not meant to be. They still lost due to a mix of driver errors, team errors and some technical difficulties. Now having said that, I think there's still always gonna be some pressure just because of the name they represent. Ferrari and it deserves nothing but the best. Anything less than first place at every race weekend is gonna be meme time for us.  |

A couple of vids to watch that could help you guys make your picks for the main event tuis weekend... UFC Free Fight: Spivac vs Hardyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n16j26HlbLYUFC Free Fight: Lewis vs Blaydeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN9D6z0CKr0And about Lewis making weight, again I don't think it's gonna be a lot. So don't expect a big transformation, prolly just 5 lbs and slightly leaner body at fight day. But what it really shows is he's prolly taking this next match seriously and that he's seriously finding ways to improve. And if he does end up showing that he lost 20 lbs, damn... Can't wait to see the match! |

Yeah that has been known for a while and talked about a few pages back, but there is still a question about it. Every single year Ferrari team comes out and says something that makes the fans go "this is the year!!" and then it turns out that they are still not that great.
Well, this is a common thing for all the teams, no? I've never seen a team saying on tv "our car sucks and next year will be slower by 1-second"  That's because they don't want any added pressure on their shoulders. Imagine telling everybody and confirming the rumor that your engines did have an increase of 30 hp then ending up losing every week vs Verstappen and Red Bull... Lol. And if anything, these rumors could have been invented and being spread by top rivals like Red Bull and Mercedes to play with Ferrari engineers' minds and put pressure on them. |

Doge can go 1$ many people waiting that.
one need to be carefull with meme coins in this market. There could be worse cases with them, But then again, memecoins could give the bearer of these coins some of the most massive returns they'll ever get at their time of dabbling in crypto. You just have to know when to get in them and when to see them. And it's really starting to look like these times now are starting to look like the time to get in. Don't take that as financial advice tho. Playing with these things are a gamble and if you don't want to gamble then just stay with BTC, XMR or just keep all your money in your bank account. |

@tokeweed yep, we've been pursuing him (or Klopp has anyway) for at least 3 seasons now, but he's always been too expensive, and then it was also a matter of timing, and now our old backroom acquisition people are gone also, so I'm not sure. It does appear owners are finally willing to consider the fee but then now we're not the only ones.
Ah yeah... When he was at Birmingham, I couldn't get why no EPL club had acquired him way cheaper than what BVB will be asking for during the transfer window. And from what I've been reading, BVB might not even let him go that easily and would want to hold him down with a new contract that would surely make his asking price go up a bit. He'll prolly become the most expensive 20 year old during the summer. And what is it with BVB. They seem to always know where to get them cheap. :/ |

^ Jon Jones' wrestling advantage should be enough to take on Gane, grind him against the cage and take him down eventually. Dunno.. I just can't imagine a scenario that gives Gane the advantage. And who knows, Jones could end up making it look easy.
As for Adesanya vs Pereira, yeah, I think Pereira gets the W again. He's just way bigger and stronger than Adesanya. And now knowing that he could stay in there and take Adesanya out when he tries to throw more volume makes me think that he's gonna try to throw more volume right off the bat and could give Adesanya more trouble.
Yeah, I think Pereira does. Whether it's just his kryptonite, Izzy just can't seem to do it. He dominated that fight right up until the end. So, I know Izzy is more than capable, and in fact at the end of the first or second round he actually rocked Alex pretty bad. If it wasn't the end of the round that could've been the end right there for Alex. Since, both of these fighters when in trouble stay standing, and don't actually dive for the legs. So, usually when they get rocked that's the end. I know they say that 'size doesn't matter' about many things including a lot of match ups made in MMA, but I guess in this case, it def does matter. Pereira is a natural 205'er competing at 185 and Adesanya on the other hand was just shown that he'll get over powered whatever he does. I mean Adesanya did almost got Pereira out at the end of the first round but other than that Pereira was taking it and biding his time. And when he saw his opportunity, Adesanya couldn't do anything.

It's not a false bull or bull trap, as the tendency is already lasting for a whole month, and probably it will. I believe if it were a trap it wouldn't have lasted for longer than one week. Bitcoin is retaking its previous position from last year, before the time seasonal holidays started, that is usually when people cashout their funds to travel and buy gifts, consequently crashing BTC. However, there can be bull traps soon on Bitcoin's way towards superior price ranges, such as 40,000$ and 50,000$.
Even if it is a trap, people that invested at $16000 are gaining now, the price would have to reduce back before another unrealised loss. The price of bitcoin may fall below $20000 again, but why should people call it a trap? Anyone that want to invest when the price of bitcoin is significantly low like this time and do not want any unrealised loss should just never invest. Some people do not want to think that $100000 is possible by next year or next two years, they are only talking about bull trap when the price of bitcoin is even still low. Yup I think a lot of people are getting concerned with stuff that they shouldn't get concerned about. People should just ask themselves how they could trade the recent move and make a little bit of something on the side. Just trade the move and set up your stop loss. For all we know BTC could rise up to 30k before going back down again, which could make for a good short on the way down and make a little more something something. |

FA Cup this weekend so a nice break for LFC fans. I know the FA Cup is a good trophy to win but OMG, it feels good to have a break from being absolutely crap in the PL. we can’t be any worse than our last visit to Brighton, can we.
Hopefully with Jota coming back soon & Luis Diaz not too far away things will get better. I’m still just in shock that we’re not buying a midfielder, it’s borderline gross negligence imo.
I knew we had a break but I thought there'd be midweek footie in the league and then I see Superbru and it's actually next Friday that we start again so yeah, I'm with you on this. Need a break, the team needs it, and we need to count that clock down on injuries (maybe get some early returns?). I hate to say it too but feels like Bellingham's a more and more distant buy, think we waited too long to cough up. Hope I'm wrong. Oh and damned City... Wait what? Klopp is finally deciding to raid his old club? Bellingham is gonna be a major acquisition as he's not just one of the young prospects with high potential to be great, the guy is from England. So LFC having him in will be a plus on the pitch, in the club and as a money maker thru shirt sales. I hope Klopp gets him. And what's up with City? ... Don't tell me. Guardiola and Txiki are going for him too and could convince him to wear the sky blue? Edit: Ah, it looks like Liverpool leads the race for Bellingham. They could prolly get a deal done but they might not get him out of BVB until summer. Dunno. |

It looks like it's official folks... It's gonna be a rematch between Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira for UFC 287. Kinda disappointed as I thought Adesanya was gonna take the back seat a bit and rest. I was expecting Robert Whittaker to get his shot against Pereira. That would've been a more intruiging match up imho. It was also announced that the co main event will be Gilbert Burns vs Jorge Masvidal. Been a while since we saw Masvidal in there. I think he gets starched by Burns. Lol. UFC 287 Announcementhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkDjcqO5O2oHere's a fight vid. Enjoy.

Just move forward with the flow of the market and never be greedy or have some plans to invest with the expectation of 1000x return. In the past it happened and people were ready to have patience. Now the same isn't the situation which makes these kind of expectation failure to analyse and invest on the right altcoin. Expecting 1000x will happen and it is pure gambling.
it still happens now mate but only for once in a blue moon or at least once i a thousand if not million project meaning that it is better to seek for x5 than x1000 as we cannot even see x100 happening commonly nowadays not like in the past that there are several at least monthly . patience is indeed what we need to do but looking for that High seems to be impossible to happen for now. Indeed. The scene has change dramatically but for a better I guess? We are not in the ICOs eras anymore where lots of coins can pump up easily but at least investing now have gotten more safer. 5x is still a struggle nowadays but that's because we are still in a bearish market but once we get out of this, 5x, 10x or more is pretty possible. I think 1000x and 100x is more possible by playing a gambling in a casino. Assuming that you are playing too often and you are specifically targeting these multipliers. The only downside of it is you can also waste more money but at least it's more fun to do it this way than just giving your money to the scammers and hoping for the impossible. We might not be in the ICO era anymore but you know what era are we at? We are in the defi era. An era when it has become a lot easier for dev teams, entrprenuers and your everyday 'marketer' to make a project and lost them in for swapping in pools like Uniswap. And more possible for 100x - 1000x by gambling in a casino? Yes but no... Check our criteria at OP. And don't drop all your coins in it tho. Looking for 1000x is all for the lulz after all. If I would have to bet I would take some of the low market cap Aptos ecosystem projects.
(currently holding a bag) but only time will tell.
Now you're talking! Do they have dog logos? |

Dana White sold off his UFC ownership around mid 2022. He no longer owns a stake in the UFC. The same with Mark Wahlberg, Kobe Bryant and other celebrities who became fractional UFC owners. Endeavor bought out their shares to become sole UFC proprietor.
No longer being a fractional owner in the UFC, could mean Dana White is looking for a new business to become involved in. That could be the origins story behind Dana interest in Power Slap.
When MMA was a small time business, many athletes were paid $100 or $500 per fight. The UFC's TV deal with Fox sports was accompanied by a significant bump in pay. Followed by another bump in salary with the ESPN UFC TV deal.
Yup... And a lot of people don't really get what's going on behind the scenes because while Dana White still holds the title as 'president' of the company, he isn't really the guy who makes the important decisions anymore. The real boss behind the UFC is Hunter Campbell. He's been doing all the important deals for the company, he talks to the commissions of every state and country, he also has a say in match making. Dana these days is just a figure head, a face of the company. And if he leaves today, the UFC would be running just as smoothly as the transition has already happened years ago. Anyway, where can we find lines for power slapz? |

Max bought a ferarri for himself lol. I mean it's okay of course, anyone can buy any car, there is nothing wrong with that. And we all know how awesome ferrari cars can become, specially when you do not have to listen to their pit And since there is no "red bull" car that he can drive on the road, what was he suppose to do, he had to buy from a competition if he wanted a good car. But, this is of course a great marketing for ferrari as well, even their opponents preferred them type of marketing would be great for them, and they can't officially do it, but just this fact known is good enough. Can't wait for the season to start, it will be awesome to see how teams changed. As Vettel one time said, everyone in the end is a Ferrari fan. How can a driver decline the beauty of Ferrari? Guess what, even Hamilton has at least 1 Ferrari in his collection. Alonso said something the same. He said something that sounded like 'every F1 driver wants to drive for Ferrari.'. And historically the Ferrari has always been the symbol of beauty and speed when it comes to cars. No one could deny that. It's prolly why a lot of F1 fans laugh and make a lot of funny memes when they see Ferrari makes a not so smart decisions during a race because it's so unlike them to make those kinds of mistakes. I bet everyone one of those F1 drivers have a Ferrari or want one if they still don't have it. |

^ Yeah I know. He should have retired years ago Lol. But I'm still rooting for Fedor. I would just love to see him win one more time in the cage. And winning then retiring with a belt on his waist would be really great for all his fans and the fans of MMA.
The lines you this match is 1.57 for Bader and 2.25 for Fedor. I don't trust Bader at 1.57 but there's not much value for Fedor at 2.25 either. :/ Still waiting for where the books place the over or the under. I'm thinking around 2.5 even it's a 5 rounder which could go over.
