Of course I did and still do. I think it is noticeable by posts about situation with playstation I've left Cheesy I was just curious why you wanted to play it on PC. PC and fighting games were never together, its console territory Cheesy That is why I thought that you are not much of a gamer or dont play games at all. Old UFC games on ps2 era and current UFC game are two different games. It is like pac man where you only run, and GTA5 where you can do lots of things Cheesy Dont recommend you to try something old, its not worth it. PC and old UFC game gonna spoil your experience Cheesy

P.S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L-coAacvfk check out Khabibs accent in UFC5 Cheesy lol

For sure Fighting games and PC will never get along well but sure that is why some controllers can be used and connected to your PC a USB one could be great, but yeah fighting games are originally for consoles but for sure a good controller is enough to play a fighting game that you like, not just fighting games but games that are original can be played in console, you can surely emulate a controller aswell,

that UFC games didn't actually get the voice and accent of Khabib Nurmagomedov which is weird in my opinion,


What's with that accent it is not like Khabib at all, and it looks weird seeing Khabib Nurmagomedov with that kind of accent sure it just no feel right anyway after seeing this I come across with a deep voice and straight different accent for Paddy Pimblett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0TwSepvReo


Never expected to see and hear Paddy Pimblett in a different voice and accent for it is really weird for me as this is something unique but sure they can not get all the fighter's voice and put it all in the game for sure it will be a different payment if you get those voices and you originally get it on the fighters,



Updated on the Superlek Kiatmoo9 vs. Elias Mahmoudi fight it was Canceled and Rebooked by Superlek so that fight will be ONE Fight Night 18: Gasanov vs. Taek, I was really excited that I will be seeing Superlek Kiatmoo9 fight again but because it was rebooked then I need to wait and see the new schedule of the event,

Now because I have lost all of yesterday's games I will make a bet for today's game here is my bet and prediction

Indiana Pacers VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.33 for the Indiana Pacers and 1.64 for the Boston Celtics, right now Bruce Brown, Isaiah Jackson, and Andrew Nembhard are all questionable if they can play for today's game for the Indiana Pacers, while Sam Hauser, Jayson Tatum, and Kristaps Porzingis, are all questionable if they can play for the Boston Celtics, for this game right now I think that Jayson Tatum is not in his 100% so for sure the Pacers might have a chance in winning this so I will make a risk for the Indiana Pacers,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.28 for the Milwaukee Bucks and 3.85 for the Utah Jazz, right now Damian Lillard, Cameron Payne, and Jae Crowder can not play for the Milwaukee Bucks while the Utah Jazz doesn't have any injuries right now, so for this game I think that the Injury of the Milwaukee Bucks have a high impact with their performance and so because the Utah Jazz is getting a great game in every of their game for sure they will make a good start against the bucks so my pick for this game is the Utah Jazz,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 1.42 for the Los Angeles Clippers and 2.95 for the Phoenix Suns, right now Moussa Diabate has a hand injury and can not play for the Los Angeles Clippers, while Eric Gordon, Nassir Little, and Bol Bol are all questionable if they can play for the Clippers, and Damion Lee has a knee injury and can not play for the Suns, for this game despite the Number of injuries I really think this is going to be a hard time for the Suns, as the Clippers is doing great right now but maybe they will made a get-go with it and give for me I would risk it with the Suns so my pick is the Phoenix Suns,

I think Werner could succeed at Tottenham, because Ange has mode things change massively at Tottenham. I remember people, including Tottenham fans, said that most of their players were bad, but they change drastically under Ange this season. Player transfers and loan moves often bring about changes in performance and attitude, and it's reasonable to consider the possibility that a change of scenery could benefit Werner.

The fact that the move is a loan implies that there's flexibility for both parties. If Werner finds success and satisfaction with Tottenham, it could lead to a more permanent arrangement or a positive change in his playing style. He will be  the successor of Kane. Players indeed have the capacity to adapt and evolve based on the environment and the team they are a part of. A change in team dynamics, coaching style, or even the overall atmosphere can sometimes bring out the best in a player. Timo Werner may find a better fit at Tottenham.

He could have a chance as sure Timo Werner may need a new ambiance of things in a new place that is not the Bundesliga for Werner was great in Leipzig but recently Leipzig is not been the same anymore so Timo Werner's performance in the is also not so great so there could be something that has changed within Leipzig, and it is causing the players performance of collapse as even though Werner is just loaned in the Tottenham a change of ambiance can be a better help for him,


Bayern Leverkusen has really prove to Bayern Munich that there performance can be challenge because Bayern Leverkusen performance on this league is very remarkable and they have made a quite improvement in this league which has given them the privilege of lasting this long the first position of the league table, so considering there performance and also there points different with Bayern Munich, I take Bayern Munich alot of time to meet Bayern Leverkusen in times of point because Bayern Leverkusen currently have 42 points while Bayern Munich has 38 points, so they will still need to win up to two matches before they can be able to beat Bayern Leverkusen but however the chances of Bayern Leverkusen losing any match is not certain because there performance is very impressive.

For now, let's just say that Bayer Leverkusen is pretty much doing well, but the season is still not finished there is a chance for Bayern Munich to get into the top of Bayer Leverkusen as if Leverkusen made a mistake just once there is a chance for Bayern Munich to overtake them, the Club Friendlies is not the priority of Bayern Munich for sure they have given that game, and to secure their players not to get injured, as Bayern Munich don't need to make mistakes anymore right now Bayern Munich will have a game against Hoffenheim which is a team that could have them a hard time but they can also win or make a draw towards them, while Leverkusen is going against Augsburg which a simple team for them for sure they could win this and if they not they will try and engage with a draw instead,

The way Alexander Volkanovski Approaches this fight surely it feels like he thought that he could do what he had done in their last fight but this time Islam Makhachev has improved a lot since then but Volkanovski didn't take into consideration the difference in their weight class that is why he lost again in the 2nd fight for sure Alexander Volkonovski have learned from his mistakes, and for sure if there is a chance Dana White will likely let Volkanovski take on Makhachev again maybe next time,

For sure Volkanovski got a feeling that he could take on Islam Makhachev in this fight because he had the best out of him but it didn't go well in the 2nd fight because Alexander Volkanovski likely underestimated Makhachev thinking that even if he trained himself the fight result will still be the same for sure Alexander Volkonovski was wrong about what he thinks, as the fight end up miserable for him,

It could be and for sure Ilia Topuria is a researching guy and for sure his camp has device a plan to defeat Volkanovski, and Alexander Volkanovski also has a plan for Ilia Topuria that is for sure, for me I am really torn between Alexander Volkanovski can make it again and gain muscle as for sure Ilia Topuria will use raw strength with grappling and seeing as how Volkanovski has the advantage with takedown defense and the ground scramble I really think Ilia Topuria will like to consider the raw strength in this fight,

I really think that Ilia Topuria is a younger guy and still improving in his craft for what happened with the Makhachev fight Volkonovski was really exposed to that fight and I like Ilia Topuria to win to have a new champion, this is really a interesting fight and I really like what can surely happen with this fight we never know what could really happen if Topuria will remain undefeated or Volkanovski can give him his 1st defeat,

^  Nice!  That Poirier vs Saint Denis one is gonna be a banger as a 5 round co main event.  Hopefully Poirier brings it as Saint Denis is one tough mofo who is hungry in moving up the rankings and taking a shot the 155 title. As for Poirier, the McGregor money could could've made him lose his edge.  But we'll see, maybe he's back.  Wink

And can't complain to see Oliveira vs Tsarukyan if Makhachev isn't available.

Early lines at Fight Odds have Saint Denis and Tsarukyan as slight favorites.  I kinda agree with the Saint Denis one.  Up in the air with the Tsarukyan one.

https://fightodds.io/

For sure UFC 300 will be exciting and right now I have seen exceptional fights that are going to be great to behold as the fight approaches The Main Event will be Leon Edwards VS Belal Muhammad which is a rematch because they already face each other inside the Octagon the fight just end up in a No Contest because of an eye poke of Edwards to Muhammad, Jiří Procházka is returning against Aleksandar Rakić which is I think Prochazka will need to climb up again to face the champion, Pereira, Charles Oliveira VS Arman Tsarukyan is a solid fight in my opinion and for sure Tsarukyan is a mini Topuria in some sort, Calvin Kattar VS Aljamain Sterling will be a fight that for sure this if just for me I am just OK with it happening, even the Bo Nickal VS Cody Brundage for me I am OK about it,

WOW! Just WOW! I was really shocked by what is my NBA bet results and I really never expected all underdogs to win in this game and all of my picks it was really a bad day for me but maybe I will bounce back, yeah I really want to bounce back,

Phoenix Suns VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 115 - 121 - LOST

The Phoenix Suns are getting this in the 1st quarter of the game but suddenly the Memphis Grizzlies are already at them and get the pace the Phoenix Suns finished the game 58 - 63 with the Suns on the Lead, but with the reminder of the 3rd quarter the Phoenix Suns had the lead while the Memphis Grizzlies has taken another lift and setting and close the gap the 4th quarter was the closes this two teams can get their score it was really a close 1 and leading and winning this game was the Memphis Grizzlies, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker have done their all but even without Ja Morant the Grizzlies managed to win with Vince Williams 19 points, Desmond Bane's 23 points, Marcus Smarts got 25 points, and a double-double performance for Jaren Jackson Jr. of 10 rebounds and 28 points, winning this game,

Golden State Warriors VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 118 - 133 - LOST

The Golden State Warriors are not themselves in this game it seems like they are out of the boost in the 1st half and that continued until the 2nd half it is not looking good while the Toronto Raptors have already got good with their passing and chemistry, the Warriors got 10 turnovers for this game they also have many mistakes, Pascal Siakam got 16, points Chris Boucher got 17 points, and RJ Barrett got 37 points, Jakob Poeltl has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 14 points,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 106 - 103 - LOST

The Los Angeles Clippers got a great start getting the lead and the win in the 1st half but Anthony Davis destroyed their momentum and the 2nd half was a struggle for both teams, it was a game of perseverance, as the Lakers have turned the table against the Clippers, and it was really wild that the Clippers have managed to get the lead has fallen in the 2nd half, both D'Angelo Russell and Taurean Prince got 13 and Anthony Davis has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 22 points and LeBron James got 25 points winning against the Clippers,

I think Ferrari is not worth of Leclerc! I think Leclerc has so much potential that is underestimated by Ferrari's poor performance these last 10 years or more! Leclerc deserves a more competitive team. Yes, I know that there is no team that can truly challenge Red Bull but still Ferrari should be doing much more taking into account their history in motorsports.

For sure Ferrari can not do something more beyond their budget I really think that they are trying to enforce what they can give to their drivers and that is the common good for their racers, and sure they think highly of Charles Leclerc as Ferrari have sign a very lucrative contract for Charles Leclerc so the Ferrari can keep him, and for sure Ferrari is giving their best for their drivers that is for sure, the only problem is the given budget,


You never know. Because as with every sport: Money Talks!
So who knows if a team splashes enough cash in the other teams face and the driver has the desire to make moves, then they can work something out.
But unlikely in a middle of a season.
Contracts are usually meant to be broken when it comes to F1 or have been in any sport for that matter.

There are surely some deals like that but Ferrari has already secured both of their drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, for sure Charles Leclerc has a done deal contract for Ferrari, and yeas Carlos Sainz has already made a done deal with Ferrari as well so both Ferrari drivers are happy with their situation right now as both drivers have won the Podium many times for Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have won the race 1 time on Singapore where both RB 19 machine both have a problem, so yeah it was Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes have won that race and the podiums,


And looking at the 2024 schedules the Start of the race was on February 29, to March 02, and Bahrain will be the 1st country the F1 will have the official race while February 21-23 will be the Pre-Season Testing in Bahrain International Circuit, in Sakhir,

For sure I will be looking forward to that 1st day of training for the F1 and it will be in Sakhir, Bahrain, actually, I am really excited after that last race and great performance for Max Verstappen that I got much more interest with F1 racing now, and performance wise clearly Red Bull will surely attain their dominance even in this season,

Timo Werner is about to be transferred by Tottenham on loan until the end of the season. Leipzig must be contented with the deal because they were already not giving much chance to him. Besides he had some injury problems on one hand as well. Werner isn't playing like in the past anymore even in the Bundesliga while wearing the shirt of his old team.

I don't know how much he can be beneficial for Tottenham honestly. Because you must remember how bad he was when he was playing for Chelsea. Of course there is no guarantee for anything yet but I just don't have big expectations.

Maybe he will be better with Tottenham and he is just on loan if Tottenham is not happy with his performance then they will surely bring him back to Leipzig again but maybe Timo Werner could be happy with Tottenham we can not say for sure and could change his way of playing in another team, well, sometimes there are players that changes their attitude or sometimes and if depends if they are happy with that team, maybe Timo Werner is like that we will not know for sure if we will not see him in action,

Is anyone here betting on the Bayern Munich vs Basel friendly match? and did your bet win or lose?
I missed betting on that match but unfortunately I saw something a little strange in that match when Bayern Munich, one of the giant teams in the bundesliga, ended in a draw against a small team from the Swiss league and even more strangely, Bayern Munich always put pressure on shooting the ball repeatedly but didn't on target but only 1 shot was able to score. Aseko Nkili managed to score while Kane wasted several opportunities.

I'm sure many people lost if they bet on yesterday's match, the draw was very bad and I'm sure Bayern Munich didn't perform optimally because it was only a friendly match.

For sure if I bet on that game I would likely lose it because I would surely go with betting for Bayern Munich, and because Basel is in the Swiss Super League and Basel is on the 11th position in standing in that league what makes Bayern Munich in making this a draw game, for sure Bayern Munich stats is great and all in this game but the defense of Basel was all they have but for sure this is the Club Friendlies so what will we expect Bayern Munich can likely be taken this game lightly,

In the first fight I saw Ankalaev was superior and was able to push Walker. But since the match was not resumed due to Walker's incident with the team doctor, I think the second fight will be a bit difficult for Ankalaev. This means that in the first fight, Ankalaev's strategy was able to push the walker to the edge of the cage. So in the second fight, Walker's team and coach will definitely apply a different strategy and they will be better prepared to fight Ankalaev because they have seen Ankalaev's style of play when he has to fight Walker.

For sure that fight was a little bit fast to call it for Magomed Ankalaev as Johnny Walker does have the size and could also have a good takedown defense, and for sure they have prepared for the wrestling game of Ankalaev Johnny Walker camp is pretty much aware of that against Magomed Ankalaev, but the sure thing about this is they will then prepare for the some of that brief fight they have even with that small detail they can not give Ankalaev a chance


I see someone has edited his second post in this topic Cheesy

Arlovski is going to lose to Waldo Cortes-Acosta. Even though this doesnt have a page on wiki (lol, that is a funny indicator to tell if a fighter is a nobody:D ), Arlovski is going to lose via KO. This Waldo is 10-1 (no all fights are in UFC), but in front of him is Arlovski with crystal chin. Arlovski is gonna turn 45 in less than a month. It is about time to retire.

Sure it will surely challenge Andrei Arlovski if he's going to win against a nobody against "Sal Sa Boy" Waldo Cortes-Acosta who doesn't have a fine record yet, I really think this is to give back confidence for Andrei Arlovski, but I really doubt him because he is already 44 years old, and I don't know if he can carry on with this, while even though he doesn't have a good record Waldo Cortes-Acosta still has the strength and speed in this fight, and I am doubting his crystal chin would still work and not looking good at all,

In their first fight, Islam's cut didn't went well and Islam was left without energy while walk was in fantastic shape. In last match, Islam wasn't half dead, his cut went very well and despite the fact that Volk wasn't in good shape, I believe that in their last fight, Volk wouldn't be able to beat Islam even if he was in good shape. Volk has to put more on the table.

Not giving effort in a fight that he lost surely Volkanovski regrets that, and thinking that he needed rest for the fight has cost him a lot, while Islam Makhachev is working his way in improving and on their last fight surely in Makhachev's mind he can do it because he has hard work and that hard work paid off, for sure Volkanovski has learned his lesson and Makhachev needs to teach him that, not because you're doing well, means you're stopping in progressing,

Because I haven't made any bets Yesterday here is my bet for today's game

Phoenix Suns VS Memphis Grizzlies

The stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Phoenix Suns and 2.55 for the Memphis Grizzlies, right now Kevin Durant, Eric Gordon, and Damion Lee are all questionable if they can play for the Suns Bol Bol and Nassir Little can not play for the Phoenix Suns because of their injuries while Ja Morant, and Vince Williams Jr. both are questionable if they can play for the Grizzlies Steven Adams is Out for this season, Derrick Rose and Brandon Clarke both can not play for the Memphis Grizzlies because of their injuries, so for this game I truly because that the Memphis Grizzlies could have a disadvantage in this game because of their injuries Ja Morant is not in his 100% he could play but with limited time because of this my pick is the Phoenix Suns,

Golden State Warriors VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.75 for the Golden State Warriors and 2.13 for the Toronto Raptors, right now Jonathan Kuminga is questionable if he can play for the Warriors, and Chris Paul, and Gary Payton II both have injuries Draymond Green are suspended, and all can not play for the Golden State Warriors, while Gary Trent Jr. is questionable if he can play for the Raptors Christian Koloko and Otto Porter Jr. can not play for the Toronto Raptors, so for this game even with the injuries of the Warriors they still have the reliable newbies while Otto Porter is a big lost for the Raptors so for this game my pick in non other than Golden State Warriors,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Los Angeles Clippers

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for the Los Angeles Lakers and 1.48 for the Los Angeles Clippers, right now Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell are questionable if they can play for the Lakers, and Rui Hachimura and Gabe Vincent can not play for the Los Angeles Lakers while Moussa Diabate has a hand injuries and can not play for the Los Angeles Clippers, for this game because of the many injuries of the Lakers and that includes a Anthony Davis that is not in his 100% play time and because the Lakers is inconsistent with the regular games and the Clippers is doing great right now my pick is the Los Angeles Clippers,

It is very rare for fighter who is in his teens to have succeeded in creating such impressive hype.
He has created and demonstrated very capable fighting qualities in the arena of ONE Championship which is clearly the biggest sports company in Asia.
If you look at his talent, he has bright future and of course Johan Ghazali will become one of the best fighters in ONE Championship and in his country Malaysia, he will be the only fighter that Malaysia has at the youngest age.
If Johan Ghazali wants to develop his talents and have much better career in MMA or be able to enter the UFC then he must be able and willing to learn various martial arts such as wrestling or even Kickboxing.
I sure that by studying more mixed martial arts Johan Ghazali can be like several other fighters who have won various world titles.

After seeing what he can do Johan Ghazali really has a great start starting young is quite pretty much going great for him, and getting young into the sports of Muay Thai but for sure he can learn various martial arts like Kickboxing and if he is well-establish with his kick boxing maybe just like Alex Pereira can go into the world of MMA and learn wrestling from there on, I think Alex Pereira had a great foundation and that is with his kick boxing foundation his striking was very natural so for sure all he needs to do now is train some wrestling and grappling to enhanced his ground game,


You know what, I checked the prices of used PS3 and PS4 and I cant believe how cheap they are, they are full package with controllers and everything in good condition.
Maybe I am not playing games like before but this is simple fix for playing with best possible graphics and without messing with emulators.
It would be cool that PFL make some competition and create good PC and console MMA game, Francis Ngannou would be great face to promote it.


For sure it is still great to play games with their authorized consoles or if it is ported into PC that will be great but if not it is really natural to play the games with their established consoles that are for sure and upon seeing your post I immediately search for 2nd hand consoles that still look new, and I was shocked  what I have seen there is a PS3 console that is just $81.07, PS4 that is around $99.08 up to $135.11 if you prefer a complete package with games, and Xbox that is $108.09 only I was really shocked with the cheap prices it offer I think I will looked furthermore for more cheaper prices,

Chandler's wait seems worth it after all. And they are both inactive for a long time so they probably are the best to fight against each other. The whole year 2023 Chandler just skipped all possible fights only for this but not on UFC 300. 

Dana is likely looking forward to a big cut before letting Conor fight with Pacquaio. This is bigger than fighting Buakaw the Muay Thai Champ and if indeed the Saudis are interested, it will be a bigger hype.

It seems that the Conor McGregor VS Michael Chandler fight is going to be in another event so it will be another long wait for Chandler it seems because UFC 300 will be on April 13, 2024, while the UFC: McGregor vs. Chandler is set to be on June 29, 2024, well according to Conor McGregor but it is still an unconfirmed rumor, but as for Conor McGregor this is just what we got,

If that Conor McGregor VS Manny Pacquiao fight turns out to be true that is maybe Dana White can put on some promotion and get a big cut, or some other promotions would take that fight instead if this all is just talk then we are not getting into something,

-snip-
Hilariously Conor McGregor wants to play in the 185lb, which is pretty much crazy for someone who is just starting with 145lb in the featherweight division
which is absolutely crazy, or yeah he might be just trolling with us and Michael Chandler, and laughing if Chandler can get into that weight class, for sure the month of June is far ahead and both fighters still have a lot of time to get into that weight class, but for sure if Michael Chandler can not make it into Middleweight I think he will show up with a less weight so yeah Conor McGregor will be a tough guy to crack,

Well, if Conor McGregor had said that they would fight in the 185 lbs maybe they would have, all this hyping from Conor McGregor is just making the fans lose more patience, it is likely just all talk and McGregor can surely promise something Grandeur like this but all we can do is wait and speculate, there is not much choice here, but if Chandler can not wait anymore maybe he can fight another fighter instead, he is not getting younger anymore and that strength of his will surely be worn down soon if he can not get a belt by that fight then Conor McGregor just wasted Chandler opportunity,

-snip-
I missed Khamzat Chimaev for sure that last fight he had was not that good against Kamaru Usman, or he was not feeling well at that time, it was like the passion and intensity were gone when he fought Usman, but I wish we could see the old Khamzat Chimaev fighting Paulo Costa, where you can see the hunger in fighting anyone in his eyes, for sure I wish that his fight against Kamaru Usman was just a fluke and he was just having a bad day that night, but yeah wish he can Smesh back again in his fight against Paulo Costa,

Khamzat Chimaev is not invincible after his fight against Kamaru Usman although he won that fight he was injured and was sick and not feeling well, and that was from the source that I have got why we're not going to see Chimaev while he was getting better so the fight between Costa VS Chimaev was change to Robert Whittaker instead, it was a real bummer but I guess we could see him again when he comes back,

That's the typical Casimero that everyone knows. He don't mind about the split as long as he gets the match that he likes and able to prove himself that stronger than the other. His angst and stance in beating Inoue is always voiced out by him.

It is really a typical John Riel Casimero he is always like that he surely was, he has that angst in him that many really like and some dislike, but there are many who say that he can defeat Naoya Inoue they can feel that John Riel Casimero is the only boxer that can beat him, for sure those talks that they have is to hype the fight and for this one Casimero is doing a great thing in hyping the fight for sure many likes this fight to happen,

And of course, he's the first one to beat Inoue but I don't think that it is going to be an easy task for him. Inoue had beaten the good other fellow boxers of Casimero like Donaire and the recent one, Tapales.

So, it's like he's carrying a huge burden on his shoulder that he shouldn't disappoint.

Let's just wait if Casimero is just another bark-and-no-bite fighter he is a unique fighter for sure I also like his fight IQ for sure John Riel Casimero had that, but in terms of speed and power also has that but I think Inoue is on the Advantage with the raw power and also has the punching speed to accumulate that output, but maybe against Marlon Tapales they will device a game plan for his technique and style,



I have seen an event today, I think this is today and it is from Faridabad, India if you look at the fighters you will notice something odd, it looks like a fight between a guy and a girl but if you look closely I think it is a female that underwent a hormone change, but maybe that is just her appearance so let's not be quick to judge, (Although that is what I am doing right now) and because I can not find any other record if she doesn't use hormones I couldn't be so sure,

The result for my Bet and prediction for game Yesterday, here is the result for my bet on Yesterday's game,

Denver Nuggets VS Orlando Magic SCORE 120 - 122 - LOST

The Orlando Magic got a great start but the Denver Nuggets had already foiled their plan and soiled and made a very unlikely lead 1st half ended with the Nuggets leading the game, and with that, I thought that the Nuggets would win this but the magic tied the game in the 4th quarter, and it was a close game for the Nuggets and the Magic, it was a tied game until the lead has gone down to 2 where the magic is in the lead it was Jamal Murray that are getting to tie the game but it was a missed and so the game ended with the Magic won the game, Cole Anthony got 23 points, Jalen Suggs got 27 points and Paolo Banchero has a triple-double of 10 rebounds 11 assist and 32 points,

Houston Rockets VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 95 - 122 - WIN

The Houston Rockets might have had a great start but it was a clear win for the Minnesota Timberwolves from the 1st half to the 2nd half the Rockets could not make any lead at all it was a highlight show for the Timberwolves because from their lead on the 1st quarter, they didn't let the Rockets got another lead and for this game, the Timberwolves, both Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels got 16 points, Karl Anthony Towns got 22 points and Anthony Edwards got 24 points,

Golden State Warriors VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 113 - 109 - WIN

Well, even though the Golden State Warriors won this game it was a close call for them to lose this game aswell, but the Golden State Warriors refused to give the win to the other team, the 4th quarter is proven for the Warriors, and that the team becomes very great within this time, and for sure Steve Kerr has given more minutes to Jonathan Kuminga but still 11 points for him is not that worthy, with this, Dario Saric has 17 points, Klay Thompson, got 11 points, and Stephen Curry that is 26 points,

Sacramento King VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 135 - 130 - WIN

The Sacramento Kings got a decent amount of lead until the 4th quarter when the Toronto Raptors decided that they could make a turnaround, but still, the Sacramento Kings didn't let the Toronto Raptors take any lead any further and the Sacramento Kings managed to stop the goaler, Harrison Barnes got 16 points, Keegan Murray has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 18 De'Aaron Fox got 24 points while Domantis Sabonis has a triple-double of 15 rebounds 11 assist, and 24 points,

I was going to bet on Volkanovski but his performance in his last fight against Islam Makhachev was so poor that I don't have any hopes he will do any better against Topuria. I want also to say that while Volk struggles, Topuria does super well, hasn't had any decline in performance and is probably super confident about his upcoming fights, especially after seeing Volk's performance, he must be way more confident that he will beat him. I bet that Ilia will win this fight, this guy is amazing, he will definitely be the next superstar of UFC.

For sure Alexander Volkanovski will be ready in this fight aswell but sure many are having doubts because of his last fight, but I really think that was because he doesn't have proper training going with the Islam Makhachev fight sure many have already seen that Islam Makhachev have already know and was shocked with Volkanovski's performance so for sure he will be 100% ready for their next fight and I was really correct with that, while in the following Ilia Topuria fight Volkanovski will be ready but he can not ignore Ilia Topuria this guy is a beast for sure he can not underestimated a guy like this,

All steroids are legal until you get caught Cheesy Hope that Conor is so big due to steroids that he has used to heal his injury faster, than he is simply more fat and slow now. Hope he is not a well-fed cat, who eats tuna only instead of cat food Cheesy Cant wait for UFC decision about USADA and testing. Without testing, it would be a freak show. We will get Overeems and guys like Belfort on roids back.

USADA is not with UFC anymore effective January this year so for sure the UFC is the one testing the fighters for drug abuse we all know how the UFC loves Conor McGregor, so even if they caught them using Steroids they would just let him fight for sure but this is just dirty tactics from the UFC and how bias they are when it comes to Conor McGregor that is something profitable for the UFC because McGregor is the hype maker, for sure he is good at hyping a fight and as many is anticipating his return,

-snip-
Caught myself think about Ankalaev vs Walker first fight, and I dont remember who was winning it. As I remember Ankalaev was more active. Interesting to see what both fighters gonna have next if they win. Will Ankalaev have a title fight ? (in the interview he once said that if he dont, he would quit UFC). Who will be Walkers next opponent. Doubt that Pereira.

Actually, now that I think about it, Johnny Walker is someone who can not be underestimated while even if Ankalaev has decent wrestling Walker's takedown defense is something that Magomed Ankalaev needs to be prepared for if he can not get those takedowns on Johnny Walker I think he need to keep on doing those takedowns until one has prepared that for sure as Johnny Walker got the speed and athleticism, so he needs to prepare for this,

Good for you that have found at least that Boston Celtics would have lost that game considering that this season they are the huge favorites to win the NBA.As for Sacramento Kings I have lost a lot of money on them as I had them in every single parlay before yesterday night where they game was played.It shows that even odds of less than 1.10 can make you lose a lot of money and that is why I have completely lost faith in betting on sport anymore,I bet on slots as I know that is completely luck related while I can never accept some team to lose with an odd of 1.07 as that is out of my imagination.

I was just lucky with my pick as Oklahoma City Thunder really won the fight, I was also surprised aswell in get this match correct, for sure the Boston Celtics in the favorite to win and a solid team for sure, but it was really a shocking loss of the Boston Celtics,



Now! I forgot the games today so for sure will be now able to get the bet and predictions  for games today,

Denver Nuggets VS Orlando Magic,

The stake odds for this game are 1.24 for the Nuggets and 4.30 for the Orlando Magic, right now Vlatko Cancar, has a knee injury while Wendell Carter Jr., is questionable if he can play for the Orland o Magic, Markelle Fultz, Jonathan Isaac, Franz Wagner, Gary Harris, and Joe Ingles all have injuries and can not play for the Orlando Magic, for this game because of the injuries of Orlando Magic, so my pick is the Denver Nuggets,

Houston Rockets VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 2.36 for the Houston Rockets and 1.62 for the Minnesota Timberwolves, right now Tari Eason, Dillon Brooks, and Victor Oladipo, can not play for the Houston Rockets, while Luka Garza is questionable if he can play for the Minnesota Timberwolves and Jaylen Clark can not play for the Minnesota Timberwolves, for this game because of the many injuries for the Houston Rockets and because the Rockets is not doing well right now my pick is the Minnesota Timberwolves,

Golden State Warriors VS Detroit Pistons

The stake odds for this game are 1.22 for the Golden State Warriors and 4.50 for the Detroit Pistons, right now Gary Payton II has a Hamstring injury and can not play for the Golden State Warriors, while Stanley Umude and Alec Burks are both questionable if they can play for the Piston, and Isaiah Stewart and Monte Morris are both can not play for the Detroit Piston and because the Pistons are a team in the bottom and they have many injuries my pick for this game are the Golden State Warriors,

Sacramento King VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.53 for the Sacramento Kings and 2.60 for the Toronto Raptors, right now the Sacramento Kings don't have any injuries, while Gary Trent Jr. and Otto Porter Jr. are both questionable if they can play for the Raptors and Christian Koloko can not play for the Toronto Raptors for this game the Kings is at their 100% form and the Raptors are something that is inconsistent so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

They can still do that, we all know how corrupt boxing organizations is, we've seen mandatory getting pass by other fighters because of the money that this body are going to make to make their champion fight another guy in their ranking.

So there is a possibility and we could have seen this in the past already.

And we might also bank on Inoue's manager as a Japanese that can easily make this negotiations easy and of course, if the money is right. We will just have to wait as there could be twist and turns, just saying.

Oh yeah? John Riel Casimero's manager was Japanese and he was Masayuki Ito, a former world champion and Treasure promotion big boss, that is why the camp of Naoya Inoue was really hesitant in accepting the fight against Casimero I think they are asking why Masayuki Ito wants to promote John Riel Casimero I think they are baffled by it but because Treasure big boss wants a fight to happen for sure it will happen well, thanks for sharing this I didn't realize that the current manager of Casimero is Masayuki Ito, for sure this fight will continue if Ito wants it to happen,

We have a high-profile boxing fight next week and here is the event for sure Artur Baterdiev is a strong boxer,

Beterbiev vs. Smith



MAIN EVENT
Artur Beterbiev VS Callum Smith

MAIN CARD
Jason Moloney VS Saul Sanchez

The Information was from Tapology: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/104337-beterbiev-vs-smith

I am currently interested in these two fights and nothing more, these two fights right now are a banger to behold and Artur Beterbiev has a canceled fight against Callum Smith, on August 19, 2023, but because Beterbiev had a Jaw Bone Infection the fight was better to be canceled as the fight was rescheduled as Artur Beterbiev is still undefeated his opponent Callum Smith had 1 lost so this is an interesting fight for sure as it was Canelo Alvarez that have given him that lost record, but for sure Callum Smith is much more younger than Beterbiev but Artur has the significant power to his punches as all of his fights ended in a KO/TKO, Corner stoppage and a solid TKO

While Jason Moloney has a twin brother who is also a boxer and he is Andrew Moloney, Jason Moloney is more popular than his twin brother right now Jason has 2 losses and that was from Emmanuel Rodriguez with a decision lost and against Naoya Inoue with a TKO in round 7 with an overhand right,

Here is what I see them in 185 Cheesy

Since you have mentioned Pereira, imagine he would cut again and come back to middleweight. Pereiva vs Conor. That gonna be a brutal beating. As to Conor to be able to get back to lightweight - I think he is able to cut. He was a featherweight once after all. The issue is he not just be able to reach, he dont want to cut, he has no motivation anymore. Imho if he would be motivated with money, he would go down to flyweight.

Well, he can use Steroids to cut weight, but the bulkier he is the more weight gain, I don't really know how that is going to work but there are legal steroids he can try but I think if it's against the UFC or not that is the question because the steroid is still steroid and cutting weight with it is for sure cheating and could be seen when he will have the USADA test but because there is no USADA maybe it could be seen with the latest UFC drug testing that they provided, if he wants to get back into lightweight or a smaller weight class,

But that picture is hilarious for sure those fat Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler are ready to fight each other even if it looks like they could burst when they punch each other, that is a good one,

-snip-
Ankalaev is in tricky situation right now. He had a tough start in UFC, but built a perfect record in it. Now his last fights are draw and NC. I believe you agree that it looks strange to see such in guys record, who some people predicted to be next light heavyweight champion. Now, even if he wins Walker, I am sure UFC gonna make him have one or two more fights, when he might have an attempt to take title from Pereira.

Both fighters have their unique style for sure Magomed Ankalaev is very versatile with his ground game, however as I have seen Johnny Walker has improved much in his recent fights sure he now has great takedown defense aswell but because Magomed Ankalaev has the power advantage I think he can get the takedown eventually but Johnny Walker has the speed advantage that is for sure as this is an interesting fight, the fight between Power and Speed, who's going to win,

@Ziskinberg. It would be headshaking to think Casimero would win against Inoue in his prime ehehehe. It would be something similar to saying some boxer in super featherweight would win against Pacman during his prime. However, it might not be a good comparison because much of Pacman's opponents were good fighters who could win against him also.

Also because we are given the impression that Inoue's team wants their fighter to fight in Las Vegas then Luis Nery would be the best opponent to promote for an American audience. Nery lost only to Brandon Figueroa.

I support John Riel Casimero but against Naoya Inoue, he will end up just like Marlon Tapales, we can not take away from John Riel Casimero that his fight IQ, although Naoya Inoue also has his fight IQ, was shattered when he fights Nonito Donaire their 1st fight he didn't imagine that Donaire could withstand his punches and that liver shots that are why he only got 3 Decision win because he got high Knockout power, so for sure Naoya Inoue would win this but he can not underestimate Casimero,


Indeed, there's no problem even he will secure smaller percentage of total share as long as he will get his chance to fight Inoue and show to the world that he really have that fighting capabilities to beat the monster, that's everything as if he achieved that goal his value will surely increase, that's Inoue and his name is currently hot right? beating someone like him would bring you on top and for sure pomoters will offer huge amount of money on your next fight.

The pressure is on Inoue, he got lot of things to lose in case Casimero manage to bring him down, let see if there's pressure to push this possibility and wait if Inoue's camp will agree.

For sure they can choose what to do, and who is Inoue's next opponent, but for sure if there is a challenge for Naoya Inoue and there is big cash involved Naoya and his team can surely choose what to pick because Casimero is just there and poking the Undisputed and saying that he is a Japanese turtle (meaning keeps on picking a fight) it is still not clear if Casimero can defeat Inoue for sure,

Missed Yesterday's game and I was late in giving the results for my bet and prediction for the game on January 3, so here are the results,

Oklahoma City Thunders VS Boston Celtics SCORE 127 - 123 - WIN

A close game against the Boston Celtics and I really never imagined that the Thunders could win this but it was just a wild guess, I can feel that the Boston Celtics will have a failure with something but that is just a hunch, and the Oklahoma City Thunders Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could make a go with it, Jalen Williams got 16 points, Josh Giddey got 23 points and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got 36 points winning this game, and OKC winning as an underdog is a great deal with me aswell,

Sacramento Kings VS Charlotte Hornets SCORE 104 - 111 - LOST

It is quite remarkable that the underdog wins again, and this time I don't have any hunch that the Hornets could win against the Sacramento Kings, it could be a coincidence, but yeah It was Domantis Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox but it was not enough because the Charlotte Hornet even though they don't have their main players Paul Jamaine Washington Jr. still got 17, Miles Bridge got 27 points and Terry Rozier got 34 points for this game,

Golden State Warriors VS Orlando Magic SCORE 121 - 115 - WIN

Just like I thought and just like what I wanted and that is for the Warriors to win in this game for this game the Orlando Magic got their 1st lead but in the 1st half it was really a close game that it ended up in a draw both teams score was 55, but in the 2nd half the Warriors was motivated in the 4th quarter and just like the other games the Golden State Warriors are getting good at the 4th quarter and there is no stopping them,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_Fight_Night:_Ankalaev_vs._Walker_2

Nice! TopTort777 this is an interesting fight for sure as Magomed Ankalaev might have the advantage with wrestling but we can not rule out that he can defeat Johnny Walker easily as this kid is surprisingly good and his athleticism is also great so I will not be surprised if Walker could win over a KO against Ankalev, as this is an interesting fight to really see, as their last fight was really frustrated, with the result, but we can see as this could also be the 3rd time where my bet for Ankalaev could again return to my wallet, whether it is no contest of a draw result

while The Maniac Marcus McGhee is an interesting new prospect from PFL and his 1st debut in the UFC was really amazing for sure he is training his ground game and grappling for now, but for sure I will make a bet that he will win against his opponent Gaston Bolańos, that is for sure,

I didn’t expect that McGregor would want to return, well, let’s see what happens, I see that the fight is tentatively expected at the end of June, although there is no official confirmation from the UFC yet. So both fighters will have enough time for preparation, but McGregor definitely needs to think about his lifestyle, I doubt that he cared about maintaining his shape, and starting all over again is not an easy thing.

Chandler replied that the middle division is suitable for him, but it is obvious that it is suitable for him only for the reason, that his opponent will be McGregor.  Grin

With all that muscle and the weight that McGregor has given they need to reach that kind of weight for sure Chandler might not have a hard time getting used to that kind of weight class and may adapt to it late, while McGregor is now adapting to this weight class pretty much naturally for him as he is now training in this kind of stature,


What do you mean by middle class? Is it middleweight or welterweight? I assume you mean welterweight? Because Chandler and McGregor are lightweight fighters and it's impossible for them to move up 2 divisions to fight, right?
When it comes to fit, I think Chandler is too short for Welterweight. He may benefit from greater muscle strength but the disadvantage of height will be detrimental to your reach which will put you at greater risk of being overpowered by counterattacks or attacks on your legs by a taller fighter.

It seems that you didn't see the latest announcement of Conor McGregor to his X account that they will have a June fight against Michael Chandler we all thought that he was just trolling with the weight of 185 lbs but we will surely see for sure if that will be the real weight they will be fighting as we all know that McGregor is something in the Featherweight and revealing the weight that they need to make is truly hear scratching,
