Fialho has a lot of potential, but he's not very versatile at the moment. I remember when he went on that little mini run of wins, and was basically fighting every two week period until he got humbled. Hopefully, he's learnt from that, and put the work in training. He needs to get better at grappling, and wrestling, and not load up on every single shot he throws.

If he continues to do what he has been doing the past year, and a bit. I think he'll lose this weekend's fight. Although, I do like him, as I said I believe he has a lot of potential, which hopefully won't be wasted. I don't think he's champion material, don't get me wrong. However, he's a fun fighter, albeit a little low on the volume side of things.

Yup as a pick I got Fialho just because of the age.  Salikhov is 38 and he didn't look the same at his last fight vs Jingliang Li.  Now I know Li is higher level of an opponent but still, Fialho can pack a punch and is one tough dude.  Overall it's tough to pick between the two and the lines show it...  It's a coin flip.

Salikhov fought better competition, he has more experience but the age..  Fialho, younger, tougher but fought mostly low level guys in the UFC and lost his biggest test in Jake Matthews.  So dunno...  But is the UFC throwing him a bone by matching him up vs a guy who could be on his way out in Salikhov?

^  It's part of an overall trading strategy aka the stop loss.  Go long or short on a coin at some price then set the stop loss if the coin goes below or above some level from the price.  Stop loss placement depends on the trader tho.  Some traders like using a stop loss based on volatility while other traders like to use support and resistance levels. 

And it's easy to say 'sell now' and wait for a dump.  But what if the dump never comes and ETH starts rising higher then your sell price?  Sometimes it's better to get confirmation from the market then react than to anticipate it.

Doge can go 1$ many people waiting that.

Based on what?  Just because people want it to go up doesn't mean it should or it will.  A lot of people want to win the lottery doesn't mean they are gonna win.  Tell me one reason why doge shoukd go to a $1 from where we are at here.  Market sucls and doge has 10,000 new coins minted every minute forever.  Demand needs to forever grow otherwise it will drop in value.  Supply and demand rules.  No doge shouldn't go to $1.

It's getting close tho and it did out pace BTC for the last couple of bull markets with the last bull market being its biggest move to date.  I'm not saying the next bull market would surely bring DOGE to 1 USD but I don't know man, anything is possible with how insane everything is in crypto.    

And who knows...  ETH could even flip BTC in market cap.  Again not saying it's a sure thing but I think it's better to be ready for all scenarios.

^  Meh..  Everybody should just ignore all the stuff that has nothing to do with the World Cup and enjoy the event for what it really is.  A tourney.  Too many people in the world are taking themselves too seriously these days and want us to take them clowns seriously.  Lol.  No thank you.

Anyway, FJ has a free to play bracket challenge for the WC.  First prize is 20k USD.  Not bad for a free game.  But terms and conditions apply tho, so expect KYC if you win.

^  Corey Anderson was owning Nemkov for all the rounds while the fight lasted.  He was cruising to a win.  I'm not sure if he could do it again this time tho as Nemkov has an idea what to expect from Anderson.  And that's the wrestling.  I hope Nemkov worked on his TD defense so we get to have a more competitive match up unlike last time.  If not for the clash of heads, Anderson would've been the champ.

Besides the main event and co main, the rest of main card looks decent judging from the fighters' records.

Edit:  This looks like it's gonna be good...

https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/692230-one-on-prime-video-4-kiamrian-brazen-abbasov-vs-christian-the-warrior-lee

I think Christian Lee loses this one.  The other guy is yuuuge.
1847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: November 18, 2022, 03:27:16 PM
Anyway let's move forward, who do you guys got this weekend?

Do you think Ion Cuțelaba gonna make his usual "shout on opponent" during staredowns ? Cheesy

I think I am gonna watch main event and Cutelaba fight. This is going to be a hard (mentally) fight for Lewis. Spivak isnt easy opponent. Lewis has a series of two losses.

Some news: It was said Chimaev next opponent is going to be Covington, but he has signed the contract yet. Dana White said, that UFC matchmakers are considering Shavkat Rakhmonov to be Chimaev next opponent then, but they havent decided yet, should Rakhmonov have one more fight before facing Chimaev or not.



Cutelaba will look good in the first round and half of the second round then start gassing out if he doesn't finish Nzechukwu.  But the thing with Nzechukwu is he seems like he doesn't have some sort of killer instinct.  I'd pick Nzechukwu to win but I'd be wary to make a bet with how juiced the line is.  It's prolly good as a live bet after R1.  Stake has live betting now.

And nooooo!  Why do they have to do Rakhmonov like that?  Chim should fight Covington and use that as some sort of stepping stone for Chim to go for the title if he wins.  Rakhmonov should fight Burns to rank up or Masvidal to build up some hype.

Weigh ins for the event start in 30 mins or so...

I have not yet seen this news about suspension for 60 days anywhere. Yes, the revenge will be interesting to watch, but in general the fight will most likely be the same, Adesanya will wait for his chance if Pereira allows him to do it, now he has already realized that he has a clear advantage in close fight, and he will try to take advantage of this. Adesanya said before the fight that it was personal to him, perhaps this was what prevented him from winning.

As I have said it was for health protocol, and I should have clarified that it was a medical suspension and not just only Adesanya but 19 fighters in the event were given a medical suspension to recuperate from the fight, and if you want to read it here in the Article, and what Adesanya has shown on the fight could be his triumph card against Alex Pereira, but surely a rematched is fitted for these two fighters,


This will certainly surprise a lot of people because I think most people thought that Israel Adesanya is going to win this fight against Alex Pereira. I am quite sure that he was a hit in terms of score. And if this was not a knockout, I am also quite sure that Israel Adesanya would have won the fight.

But that one slip in the fifth round cost him the fight. At the end of the day, it does not matter who was the head on the scoreboard. Israel Adesanya got knocked out and lost because of that. That is the end of the story. And currently, there is a lot of controversy going on about this fight. But I have not seen anything about any Ban anywhere.

my bad, Sorry for the wrong quote, edited it now.

Well, it really happens It happened to Kamaru Usman, against Leon Edwards, and Edwards like Pereira would just need 1 round to finish the fight, there is no immortal fighter in the UFC, there would be a better fighter that will surely emerge to get that title from a known fighter that many surely think will win, and that Israel Adesanya VS Alex Pereira have provided us with good entertainment and that is what's important, for me both fighters really did win it, and there is no doubt about that,


^  And on a lower tier match up, it could also happen to Sergei Spivak this weekend.  I got Spivak to win but we just never know with Lewis and he did it before...  It could also happen just like the one vs Volkov imho.  Cheesy

Anyway let's move forward, who do you guys got this weekend?  It looks like everybody is still hung over 281 as the discussion still won't go away from the event.  Lol.  At first glance I think the most likely winners who could make a decent 5 leg parlay are Turcios, Johns, Johnson, Don Anjos and Pearce.  That would be around 6.45 or something close to it.

Edit:  Here's the Multi Master.

^  Politicians always try to find a way to get the lime light and get themselves at the center of attention.  It's like a game for those idiots just to have some sort of show that they're doing they're jobs when they're really not.  They're useless most of the time.  They should just do their own thing, make their money and just leave the people alone.

Oook now that we have that over and done with, what are your bets for the first round of matches?  I really don't know what I'm mostly looking at here so I did a 7 leg parlay with England, Netherlands, Denmark, France, Belgium, Brazil, Portugal at 11.31.  Grin

i hope I get the first few picks in so it gets entertaining towards the end.

^  So you think we could go lower from here?  I used to really think we could go lower around 12k - 15k.  And with the FTX fiasco, that's exactly the kind of thing that could take us there...  But it didn't.  That seems to be like a sign of strength as nobody really sold it down during one of the worst scenarios in crypto ever.  Think about it...  That's prolly because the ones who would've sold already sold.  There's nobody left except holders.  Everybody else left.  Lol.

But yeah..  We'll see.  But in a couple of months I think we could be trending up above 20k - 25k.

Ferrari will never totally sack Binotto.  He's the best technical guy they've had in years.  I don't think Ferrari can afford a set back at this point in the game as they're close in winning a championship...  Maybe within three seasons or so.  But what Ferrari can do is put Binotto back to his former role as the chief technical officer and remove him from any role that has something to do with race strategy...  I'm mostly a fan of RBR but I also root for Ferrari and other teams like Williams and would also appreciate to see them do something great again in F1.
I'm not sure about Binotto. He had goal to become champions, but in seasons in Ferrari, they weren't even near to it. Ferrari mostly failed in strategy, he is directly responsible for it, but when something goes wrong, usually head of team have to take responsibily.
BTW, remember former Ferrari boss Arrivabene. I'm interested what he is doing now. And seems that he is CEO of Juventus FC. Very unexpected, I thought that he is still working somewhere in Ferrari.

That's because Binotto is more of an engineer than a team principal.  It's like if Red Bull gave the team principal role to Adrian Newey instead of Horner.  

Binotto is a good engineer and he's irreplaceable.  If Ferrari does give him the sack then that would be the most idiotic decision making for the team.  Ferrari should put him where he's good at as chief technical officer for the team and let him continue making competitive cars.  Removing him totally will bring Ferrari back to square one imho.

I have read a very weird theory, that Alex Pereira was signed from kickboxing into UFC to add more excitement to middleweight. Because Adesanya has kicked everyones ass there, and fighting second or third time with his fighting style would ruin interest to that division. Any decent fighter that has wrestling skills would submit Pereira. He has done his mission - removed current king. Now it is Adesanyas time to regain belt back. Pereira would lost belt in next title defence, Adesanya would have 1-2 fights before he regain belt back.

If you go to ufc.com, you would notice VeChain banners everywhere. UFC is now VeChain official partner Smiley

That's true and Alex Pereira is the only guy who has ever beaten in kick boxing...  Twice!  And now in MMA too.  After everything and all the talk, Pereira proved that it was no fluke.  It's now Adesanya's turn to prove if he's really the best in 185.

I think Pereira could even move up to 205 and be double champ.  It could happen if Glover Teixeira loses vs Jiri Prochazka next month.  :/  And Pereira has been training with Teixeira too.  Smiley

And as for Vechain, are we back at 2017?  Lmao.

^  The worst of the worst news came in FTX's demise but it didn't even take ETH to break down 1k USD.  I think we could be at the bottom end of the bear market rn.  But don't take my word for it, I'm a idiot amd def the worst 'trader' here.  Lol.  Please do check your own chart and confirm your analysis with the analysis of good traders.  But I dunno...  Just a hunch, I think we're close at the bottom and it couldn't get any worse from here.

The chart looks like it's gonna do one more leg down tho.  But the FTX fiasco was supposed to do it but didn't.
1857  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for November on: November 15, 2022, 08:32:21 PM
^  This is not financial advice but I think now is one of the best times to start buying in coins like BTC and ETH again.  And maybe even BNB.  I'd personally start accumulating ETH as there's just a lot more to go to once you need to rotate once it becomes a full blown bull market.  It's just a preference and I think it's going to out pace BTC a tad more than it did from the last bull market.

And from those alpha coins, maybe start rotating to other alts at the lower end of the spectrum then really try to get out of the market in profit and hold everything in stables.  I seem get round tripped every time.  Lol.

Zhang Weili trained with the Hickman brothers in Thailand for the event.  Her team def knew they needed to be in another camp other than her original one or the one she trained at with her rematch vs Rose Namajunas at Fight Ready with Eddie Cha and Henry Cejudo.  Weili kinda had a more defensive style when she was at Fight Ready.  With the Hickman brothers, she has the wrestling chops but the aggression is still there.  I'd say she got way better with the Hickman brothers than with Henry Cejudo.

A couple of replays for Lewis and Spivak...  Enjoy.

UFC Free Fight:  Lewis vs Daukas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8KxztXzkJc

UFC Free Fight:  Spivak vs Sakai
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06LhiXTwOH4


The Hickman Brothers yes, I am searching for Zhang Weili's Trainor and they really did great with Weili now, and surely Rose Namajunas better watch out because this is a new Zhang Weili, and if you are playing Tekken and if we base the Fighters on the UFC with Tekken you can say Zhang Weili is a new and improve Jin Kazama, well not actually the style of Jin Kazama, but the Jin Kazama now has a new move style set than the usual style it was a new and improved Zhang Weili we are witnessing now, and just like Israel Adesanya additional ground game style is their new ace in their sleeves,



I had Zhang Weili winning the rematch vs Namajunas tbh.  They first fight sure, it was a KO kick to the head for the finish.  Buuut..  It was kind of a fluke.  First kick in the first few seconds of the match and it was a flash KO.  That ain't happening anytime again soon for sure.

And yes, this new version of Weili is going to be a hard one for Namajunas.  Not saying it's a sure win as Namajunas also has a good trainer and training camp with Trevor Wittman.
