^  Cool.  It's nice to see him build another brand.  I think he should just stop fighting and totally retire from MMA.  I don't think anyone is excited to see him in the cage.  Maybe a boxing match vs Nate Diaz could be interesting but that's about it.  Lol.


I'm on the opposite side.  Poirier has already made enough money to retire after those couple of matches vs McGregor.  Gaethje on the other hand is still hungry.  Between the both of them, I think Gaethje needs this win more than Poirier does.  Dunno...  But that's just me.

But skill vs skill, Poirier has the slight edge for sure.

Anyway, here's Embedded...

^  MMA math doesn't really work.  We can't say for sure that just because fighter A won in this fashion against fighter B and fighter C didn't really impress against fighter D so therefore fighter A will def win if he fought fighter C...  And here's the thing, they're gonna fight in high elevation in Salt Lake City.  Gaethje trains in Colorado so he prolly has the cardio advantage in this one.

Here are a couple of free replays.  Both against Chandler.  Lol.  Poor guy.

Hey guys, last call to make your predictions in Bitcasino's BTC July predictor.

You never know, it could be your lucky day.  

And...  sigh...  Just as I feared, BTC puked.  All those buy orders gone as support broke down.  And anybody left holding are trapped unless there's a bounce.  If not then they prolly sell and let it puke down more.  Next support is prolly around 28k - 28.5k.

Stay safe out there.

Yup, no F1's seasons most of the time is like this.  Lol.  There was one season in the Mercedes era that was very exciting.  After that, it's pretty much the same as now.  :/  Funny thing tho is the ones who are complaining how Verstappen and Red Bull are so dominant now weren't really complaining when Hamilton and Mercedes were so dominant for 8 years or so.  

From a betting perspective, try looking in the points finish market.  If any driver's odds from teams Red Bull, McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari, Aston Martin is lined above 2.00 and has no grid penalty then it's an auto bet...  At least for me.

Yup and why would Chelsea sell him for just for 8m GBP in the first place if the club's doctors didn't see anything wrong with him?  I mean I get it, Chelsea needs to dispose around half of their over manned team asap but I don't think they'd sell somebody who's prolly worth, let's say, 20m for just 8m.  :/

Here's match day 1...

https://www.flashscore.com/football/england/premier-league/fixtures/

First match of the season, the master vs the learner.    Guardiola vs Kompany.  Rooting for Burnley on this one.  They had a great season in the Championship.  Hope to see them survive their first season in back the EPL.

Finally we have a stacked event!  I'm looking forward to Semelsberger vs Medic, Kopylov vs Ribeiro, Lewis vs de Lima, Bonfim vs Giles, Thompson vs Pereira and the main event.  And for obvious reasons my FOTN is the main event.  Lol.  Who do you guys got?  Poirier or Gaethje?

Anyway, here's the countdown vid!  Yipee!

Yeah but it's all just temporary like all things in with market.  Just a matter of time til you get a good chance to buy at a decently fair price and be able to use RLB despite the volatility.  We can't really expect it to be stable as it's a small market and this is crypto btw.  Volatility is a thing.  I mean BTC is a huge market yet it still goes up and down like it's a small cap stock.

Here's the ceremonial weigh ins guys.  The last time to see how these guys look face to face before the event.  And it looks like Aspinall bounced around and looked fine after the knee surgery.  Let's see how it translates in the cage tho.  I'd be surprised if he finishes Tybura in under 1.5 rounds.  I think it's gonna be over.  Don't make a bet on it on that account tho...  Unless the books give you 3.50 for it.

^  Lolol.  I'm laughing rn cos you're laughing.  Glad somebody itt got the joke.  I feel like most of the funny memes I post in here got ignored most of the time.

Anyway here  the results for FP3.  Hamilton got three sections in purple.  :/  Could be a potential threat for Verstappen...  Yes please.    We need an more exciting race for a chance.

If you guys didn't notice, HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu went super nova and left the building.  Lol.  It's on a good run and could somewhat do a PEPE or at least make a decent run.  Not good to ape anymore.

Anyway, here's another one that looks like it bottomed out and is up for another run...  Ready?  This one's called PEPE2.  Lolol.  Looks like frog logos is still the current meta.  If it does start trending up, don't expect it to have the same run as HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu tho.

NFA.

^  Did you watch it?  I missed it...  :/  And just by looking at the result and the comments, there was rain and a red flag due to Perez and Sainz crashing.  The drivers prolly didn't get as much lap time on the track that's why the results were skewed towards whoever's at the top spots.  Verstappen, Hamilton and 5 other driver weren't even able to set at time.

Looks like it's gonna be an interesting quali if the drivers don't get as much needed time on the track.  We could be in for some surprises. 

I might put a little something for Ricciardo points finish if the price doesn't change after FP3 and before qualifying.  Some head to head bets could also be good as he'll prolly mostly be an underdog vs most of the other drivers.

And I didn't watch FP1 but judging from the results, I'm guessing it rained?  7 drivers didn't set a time, including Ricciardo.  :/

This practice session doesn't really say much.  

Edit:  From Formula Dank.  Lololol.

Weigh ins started earlier than usual guys.  The vid below was streamed an hour or so ago and it started a couple of hours before that.  

Anyway, Aspinall weigh in at his heaviest to date at 258 lbs.  I took a peek at his past weigh ins for his last few matches and he usually weighed in between 245 - 252 lbs.  If the few lbs were due to the inactivity, it could be somewhat of concern.  Dunno...

Another surprise is Stoliarenko.  She made 125 lbs after struggling to make weight at 135.  She is bigger than McCann in the current weight division.  Would be hilarious if McCann got caught in an arm bar or something.  

UFC Fight Night 224:  Official Weigh Ins

Everybody made weight!

Tom Aspinall (258) vs Marcin Tybura (246)
Molly McCann (125) vs Julija Stoliarenko (125)
Andre Fili (145) vs Nathaniel Wood (146)
Paul Craig (186) vs Andre Muniz (185)
Jai Herbert (155) vs Fares Ziam (155)
Josh Culibao (146) vs Lerone Murphy (146)
Davey Grant (136) vs Daniel Marcos (136)
Jonny Parsons (171) vs Danny Roberts (171)
Joel Alvarez (156) vs Marc Diakiese (156)
Mick Parkin (264) vs Jamal Pogues (266)
Bryan Barberena (185) vs Makhmud Muradov (186)
Pannie Kianzad (136) vs Ketlen Vieira (135)
Yanal Ashmouz (155) vs Chris Duncan (156)
Shauna Bannon (115) vs Bruna Brasil (115)
Daniel Barez (125) vs Jafel Filho (126)

^  I think fight of the night will be Lerone Murphy vs Josh Culibao...

^  Sentiment will change for the obvious of course.  That's why I lock the poll before the month ends because it would be missing the point if it stays open til the last day.  Results would be skewed towards what the price is at the end of the month.

What these polls are supposed to do is find out what their sentiment is near the start of the month based on what happend to the months prior.  And looking at the price now, it seems like the voters' sentiments are on track with the market.  That's good!  

Edit:  Some guy sold down.  Not good.  =/

^  Yup.  Lol.  They're just starting to realize it now.  And if Ricciardo does get the second seat at Red Bull, it'll be seen as 'obvious' in hindsight.

Fun bet for the weekend:  Ricciardo points finish at 3.40. 


Is he fast in the rain?  What I remember from him is that season when he was assured a podium and it started to rain and how he stayed out, didn't box and drove on with slick tires on.  He was sliding around the track, it was so hilarious.  

I could be wrong but I think the fastest guys on the wet track are Alonso, Hamilton and Verstappen.

^  Perez's contract will end at the end of 2024 season.  So he has one more year to go after this one.


Sainz is a decent enough driver who has the experience to help a smaller team like Sauber.  Not sure why they're carrying the name Audi cos as far as I know, Audi just bought a minority in Sauber?  It's a welcome change tho.  Nice to see something new on the grid.

Here's what I want to know for the race this weekend...  Ricciardo is confirmed to drive at Alpha Tauri right?  And if so what do you guys think of Ricciardo to get a points finish at 3.40?
