My Bet and prediction for the games today

Minnesota Lynx vs Phoenix Mercury

The Minnesota Lynx is having a game with the Phoenix Mercury at Target Center, For this game Minnesota Lynx key injuries are Natalie Achonwa (personal), and Lindsay Allen (thumb), and both players can not play for the Minnesota Lynx Jessica Shepard (ankle) and are questionable if she can play for the Minnesota Lynx while Phoenix Mercury key Injuries are Diana Taurasi (toe), Shey Peddy (concussion), and Skylar Diggins-Smith (personal), and all can not play for the Phoenix Mercury for sure the Minnesota Lynx has many winnings compared to the Mercury, so my pick is the Minnesota Lynx

Los Angeles Sparks vs Washington Mystics

The LA Sparks is having a game with the Washington Mystics at Crypto.com Arena, For this game, the LA Sparks' key injuries are Chiney Ogwumike (foot), Layshia Clarendon (Illness), Nia Clouden (knee), and all can not play for the Sparks, Katie Lou Samuelson (personal), and Lexie Brown (Illness), and both are out for this season while Washington Mystics key injury is Shakira Austin (hip) and is questionable if she is able to play for the Washington Mystics, for sure because of that many injuries for the Sparks the Mystics got a good advantage for this game so my pick is the Washington Mystics,

Pretty much most of the fights in this event are amazing we got so many great finishes of KO/TKO and Submission wins for this event,

Ciryl Gane vs Serghei Spivac - LOST

It was a loss for me I thought that Serghei Spivac could have the speed that can surpass Gane because if he did I thought that he could easily take the fight to the ground and from that surely give a short fight to Ciryl Gane but it ended up with an easy win for Ciryl Gane, that speed of Ciryl Gane has proven that he is still a threat for the Heavyweights that are not adapting and still have the aggressive way of fighting in the Heavyweight Division so it was a great win and a lost for me because I have go with Serghei Spivac,

Manon Fiorot vs Rose Namajunas - WIN

The only win I got for sure is Rose Namajunas Physique has proven that she has problems against Manon Fiorot for sure and it was shown in this fight that Rose Namajunas going into this division has a big problem and that is the big difference with their Physique for sure Rose Namajunas is blindly going into this fight and thinking she could beat Zhang Weili again when she gets back at Strawweight Division, which is a wrong approach

Benoit Saint-Denis vs Thiago Moisés - LOST

Actually, I thought this could be a close fight and that Thiago Moises would be dominant on the ground but Saint-Denis is controlling him on the ground giving Moises a beating on the ground, for sure I surely underestimate the tenacity of Benoit Saint-Denis against Thiago Moises because the one that I have really known was Moises and I am aware of his ground game, but it is likely all for Benoit Saint-Denis wins,

For sure that was in the last couple of Grand Prix that Ferrari was struggling to make progress but right now it is a shocking thing that is happening right now Carlos Sainz is making an uproar right now and I really wasn't expecting that to happen It was always for Max Verstappen to make a lead always actually I was resting for a bit for an F1 news but after I am back in the F1 now I am seeing a different story right now and Ferrari might win in the Italian Grand Prix this season,


It was Ferrari's time to shine right now as Carlos Sainz shocked everyone by leading the Italian Grand Prix's Practice 1, 2, and now the Qualifying, this is the 1st for Carlos Sainz to make a lead like that it could have been the latest news that he would likely be given an ultimatum to improve that Charles Leclerc has given the full contract for the Ferrari team next season, so likely that was to prove that Leclerc is not the only one that is improving,


If you look at the Qualifying result Carlos Sainz is now leading not only the qualifying but Practice 2 and 3 as well, Here is the results and we could see a different winner in the following Race for sure,

It was really hard for her to win against Carla Esparza at that time for sure she was not herself when that fight was happening actually it was one of the most boring fights ever in the history of UFC, and Rose Namajunas thought that she was Israel Adesanaya she just keeps on evading the strikes of Esparza and not Committing to the strikes which is not what Israel Adesanya was doing at all, and Confusing enough Rose Namajunas though that she was winning the fight she didn't though that the fans was booing her,

My picks and predictions for the UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Spivac

Ciryl Gane vs Serghei Spivac

For this fight, Ciryl Gane was the favorite to win but for sure they are underestimating Serghei Spivac, I will surely look at both fights against Tai Tuivasa, for Ciryl Gane got a hard time with Tuivasa actually Gane's speed is pretty much notable against Tuivasa but his striking is not that hard-hitting against and there is a time that Tuivasa knockdown Gane's with his overhead punch but Ciryl Gane recovered quickly but for sure that technical striking prevail over Tai Tuivasa's aggressive striking, by Knocking Tuivasa on Round 3 while Serghei Spivac, goes on the takedown, and Spivac has shown his strength with his takedown, and from the top he has elbowed Tuivasa that made him bleed then goes into submission that led to Tai Tuivasa's to fell asleep, on round 2, for sure the wrestling game was pretty much effective so I am going for Serghei Spivac,

Manon Fiorot vs Rose Namajunas

Manon Fiorot's striking was pretty much intense and what is notable from her was her power and overpowering the likes of Tabatha Ricci and Mayra Bueno Silva that is likely a submission artist her takedown defense was superb indeed for those fights while Rose Namajunas Striking was pretty much was technical but her last fight was really awful so going into the fight I think that Rose Namajunas will surely have a hard time against Fiorot for sure and even though she got some takedowns Manon Fiorot will just likely deflect her, so my pick is Manon Fiorot,

Benoit Saint-Denis vs Thiago Moisés

For this fight both got a submission game, BSD is really a beast his striking is Superb as well and his BJJ is solid enough to make a great finish but Thiago Moises for me got a level on BJJ like a Khabib Level of BJJ, so for me if there is a level of Khabib on his submission that would likely will surely win in my opinion, so my pick is Thiago Moises,

Unfortunately, this will not happen. Quest eliminated Secret from the qualifier. It is sad to see that Puppey will not be able to play for TI this year. Puppey has been a constant attendance to TI for the last 11 years and now he will not be able to play. Quest has ended his streak and a chance for another TI championship. I am quite expecting this though. They have been consistently mediocre this year. They were mediocre last year but they suddenly caught fire on LCQ and through TI. But it is not the same this year.

Quest vs Luna is currently playing right now. I think Quest will secure the last spot for TI in WEU. They are still on map 1 but you can see the difference in skills. They are destroying Luna right now.


I feel that too but SMG is consistent and persistent. Still good finish for a team on its first year in competitive DOTA. Maybe they will do better next  year.

That could be great but for sure Conor McGregor needs to first be approved by USADA before he can fight anyone in the UFC, but likely Michael Chandler is the promised fighter he would fight 1st, but if there is a chance that McGregor could fight Sean O'Malley then for sure that will be one epic fight as both are utilized and is a pure striker,


I don't know about Manon Fiorot but if Rose Namajunas was hit by those punches then she would have gone cold for sure, because Rose Namajunas is a technical striker I doubt that Fiorot could likely win with power alone, for sure Namajunas will combo with kicks and punches for sure, but because of that long break she had I really don't know if she improves or not so this is really not a great time in getting to bet for her, for sure we might go into this event blinded,

Gane and Spivac might end up with a Submission or a Decision, it will truly depend on how well these two fighters did with their improvements, for sure Upon being defeated with wrestling and submission Ciryl Gane would likely have caution with wrestling and submission or this is just my wish,

 

All of those MMA fighters who want to increase their salary when they fight in a boxing match for me let them fight in a boxing match but surely because of those contracts that are suppressing them from fighting in a boxing match is what they are stopping them, but surely Those restrictions may have some point and it is for their career, that if they lost in a different fighting field than with MMA fans might not want to watch them in an MMA fight Anymore, but surely this is just what I think,


After seeing this I now want to see a Devin Haney vs Gervonta Davis fight, but because they are in a different division I really don't think these two will fight anytime soon but they could likely when they change their division if Gervonta Davis decides to get back at Lightweight, for sure,

---

Zhilei Zhang will have a rematch against Joe Joyce as Zhang is a picked fight for Joe Joyce and for sure it went in a different direction as Zhilei Zhang is a better boxer than they thought so, for sure it was a huge upset, and the fight will be on September 23, for sure because Zhilei Zhang has shown a different side of him the odds might be a much closer one than with Joe Joyce having to be the favorite to win,

It was a loss for me I thought that the Las Vegas Aces would be dominant in this game because they won the last time these two teams crossed paths last time and the Las Vegas Aces won that game which is why I thought that they would win this match as well

---

Here is the result of my bet and prediction for the game yesterday

New York Liberty vs Las Vegas Aces  - LOST

WOW! The game was a close one, and the match ended with a 94 - 85 score, where the New York Liberty won the game for sure from the Aces in the midst of a close game where the 1st half lead was for the New York Liberty then the 3rd quarter was a draw but still a lead for the Liberty then the last quarter where the Las Vegas Aces nearly topple up the Liberty but because of the lead of the New York Liberty the Aces is struggling to make a comeback, Chelsea Gray, A'ja Wilson, and Jackie Young struggle in making a comeback in this game while the Liberty stat for Courtney Vandersloot has Reb 5, Ast 10, Pts 17, Betnijah Laney Reb 6, Ast 3, Pts 17,  Breanna Stewart Reb 12, Ast 7, Pts 20, and Sabrina Ionescu Reb 2, Ast 2, Pts 25,

For sure the Main Event, and Co-Main Event, were a great match to behold for sure

Ciryl Gane VS Serghei Spivac - Ciryl Gane is a 33 years technical fighter with fast movement and the speed of a light-heavyweight and against Sergei Spivac who is only 28 years old who has promising submission and wrestling that we all know the weakness of a striker for sure this is going to be another hurdle for the Bon Gamin,

Manon Fiorot VS Rose Namajunas - The Return of Rose Namajunas and her Debut to the Flyweight Division against a striking class fighter Manon Fiorot this will surely see who has power and who is technical in her moves and striking this is for sure a great watch for the striking loving fans,


This is really interesting as Serghei Spivac has the wrestling and submission capabilities that are weaknesses to a striker like Ciryl Gane as we did see in his fight with Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones but as you have said Ciryl Gane has the speed capabilities and surely a technical fighter for sure his lost from Jon Jones was a shock for him so for sure he might adjust his game plan, but if his takedown defense has proven not really effective then there is no chance in winning against Spivac,

For sure as she sees Zhang Weili now there is no chance for her to repeat what she did back then as Weili is like a different fighter now, so there is no chance for her to defeat her, surely that is why she decided to go up the division, maybe she will train to improve her ground game for sure,

Well, after the fight he will likely do and eat a burger for sure just like what he did with his fight with Dillian Whyte he also gave Dillian Whyte a burger which Whyte said he couldn't eat because he got bad teeth that were destroyed during the fight so for sure it was a terrible idea for Tyson Fury in getting Whyte to eat his favorite, but for sure it was how Tyson Fury just do things he will likely train hard but his body fat is still likely there, well I don't really want to body shame at all that is why,


For sure every boxer has an imprint that they will likely still be good with the boxing department even though he is not that fitted to fight, his movement and brain have likely remembered most of the moves he previously had, so even though Tyson Fury is not fit to fight he would likely still got a chance that he will knockout every boxing fighter for sure,

They have been in the decline for the past few years. They are trying hard but the competition in WEU is really hard so earning DPC points is tough. I do think their roster is not already enough for them to qualify for TI. Kuroky is not the same Kuroky that championed in TI before. His mechanical skills cannot compete with the young players anymore. He is still very strong in strategy so maybe he could retire and just be a coach. He should let the younger players take his spot in the team.


Yeah, Ceb really love DOTA and still wants to compete professionally even though he had won two TIs already. Unlike this other teammate who already retired from professional gaming.

I have no problem with the current roster of OG. It is just that WEU competition is really high.

I think they will experiment with the combination of their current roster and find out which starter will produce the best result.  Personally, I think it is best if CP3 comes out from the bench giving Steph his rest. CP3 is a good leader and floor general, so even with the secondary unit, he can still work wonders. But I am also interested to see CP3 and Steph both on the floor. As they stated, Steph can play off the ball and his constant movement on the court will confuse the opponents. While CP3 runs the floor, he can easily find a good assist to Steph. The Warriors already have good ball rotation, it will be pushed to another level with CP3 on the floor.


I wonder if this will work. That will put the average age of the Warriors older. And with age, the plays will be slower. I do not think it will be good for the Warriors to go slower pace. If they want a true center, they should get younger centers.


I am with you on this. I also do not want superstars teaming up together just to get a ring. It is still best to see franchise players sticking with their team and winning championships with their team. Sometimes stars are not rewarded with a championship but I admire their loyalty to their team. Very few of them superstars are like that right now.

Well, it still has some boxing events that are mostly not shown in the mainstream and likely will never be so there is not much attention on them but regarding the event I posted both Filipino fighters lost to the Japanese fighters, Jestine Tesoro was defeated by Yoshimitsu Kimura and Virgel Vitor was defeated by Toshihiro Suzuki, it was really expected as the fight was on the home turf and likely Filipino fighters if they did not adjust with the Climate, time, and still has jet lag then likely they will surely lose this fight,

---

Another one is the Collazo vs Diagan fight another Filipino lost the WBO World Strawweight title and Garen Diagan didn't get revenge for his fellow boxer Melvin Jerusalem when Oscar Collazo defeated Jerusalem, It was surely a breathtaking fight as Oscar Collazo is much heavier and got the range advantage and a slight advantage with the height and the Filipino Boxer is always back on the corner of the ring, for us it was a lost,

Nigma matches are complete stump. It is either they stump their opponents, or they get stumped. Unfortunately, they are now eliminated from the qualifiers. We will not see Kuroky play for TI this year. And unfortunately for your bet as well, they lost so you also lost your bet.

Though your OG bet is looking good. OG is destroying the Ancient Tribe. They have dominated the first map right from the draft and the lanes. They have snowballed and are now in a comfortable 17K gold lead. I do not think Ancient Alliance will be able to turn this around. They drafted very poorly and now OG is punishing them for that.

I want them to be better on the next map though. I bet on this series to reach the third map, so hopefully they will be able to regroup for the next map and force a third.

WOW! Congrats to @owengtam09 for getting a perfect win with the WNBA I totally missed all 4 games for today, but for sure that was one great game and @owengtam09 got it all, surely I should have just followed your picks But yeah I was really busy to make my bets but right now we got 1 game for tomorrow so here is my bet,

My Bet and Prediction for the game tomorrow,

New York Liberty vs Las Vegas Aces

New York Liberty will be having a game against the Las Vegas Aces at Barclays Center, For this game the New York Liberty's key injury is Marine Johannes (foot), and is questionable if she can play for the New York Liberty, while the Las Vegas Aces key injuries are Candace Parker (Ankle) and Riquna Williams (Suspension) and both can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, for this game, the Las Vegas Aces has won last game for this two teams, it could be a close game for sure but for me, my bet is the Las Vegas Aces,

SEA games are done early because they are ahead in the time zone. The game normally starts very early so most of us, especially those in EST time zone, will not be able to watch them.

Nigma Galaxy has just been eliminated by Alliance. They were able to force a 3rd map but at the end they were crushed by Alliance. In is sad that Kuroky will not be able to play in TI this year. If I am not mistaken, he was not able to play last year as well. I think Kuroky should start thinking of retiring. He is not helping his team anymore, and maybe, he is holding them down.

---

Next up is OG vs Ancient Tribe. Hopefully, OG will be able to win this series. I hate to see 2 legendary players eliminated on the same day, Kuroky and Ceb.

Sorry about that I don't really mean that way, what I mean is I don't see some discussion about the fights or maybe some fights being bet on Maybe I was comparing the UFC and other MMA organizations in this thread which is wrong and I truly Regret that, Sorry again I will not post any copy-paste, here but let me still make a discussion with the said events Sorry again and I was really wrong on what I am saying,


Sorry about the misunderstanding What I want to say is all  we do is share some events for Bellator, LFA, PFL, and OKTAGON, while we engage in discussion in the UFC thread but surely because of the many events we can not pick an event to make a discussion, so yeah I was really full of myself when saying that maybe the influence of Alcohol have made me say something like that so Sorry again to @notblox1 the Original Poster for saying such things that are not really appropriate and wish for forgiveness,

Actually, all of us might go with a Max Holloway win for sure because The Korean Zombie is aging but surely he can tank Max Holloway for the last time I am sure that he knows that this is surely his last fight he can surely feel it that he is not advancing anymore with every fight he takes, but it was really sad to see him leave the UFC and that clip has proven that there are many fans that love the Korean Zombie chanting and singing The Cranberries Zombie music, it surely brings chills watching that video,


We can surely rely on Erin Blanchfield's Grappling and wrestling but against Alexa Grasso's Striking Me Grasso is more technical for sure, she also is an adjusting fighter so she will surely adjust against Blanchfield the last two fights of Grasso was really interesting, the Viviane Araújo and Valentina Shevchenko all of that ended with a great technical thinking of Grasso,


For me just like Khamzat Chimaev back then that was ignored and don't want to face the Dagestan Fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov in the same waters as no one wants to fight him, for sure there is no given fight for him at the moment,

While Rose Namajunas is back and facing Manon Fiorot in the Women's Flyweight Division in the UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Spivac event,

I do not expect them to beat Italy. I think I saw a post in social media coming from the coach that "Italy is Italy." and they are focusing on Dominican Republic and Angola. If that is the case, then they did not prepare for Italy. So, I am assuming that it is already a lost even before the game even started. The mindset of the coach is very negative and there is too much politics in Philippine basketball. The result is a backwards basketball system.

Still, kudos to the players of the Philippines team. They are still giving it all in the court and we can see it in the close 2 games.


I have to watch the replay of the game. I did not saw the booing when I was watching it live.

I was not surprised though; it is common sentiments that the coach is holding back the team. Almost all Filipino fans want the coach out, but he is very strong in SBP and keeps getting the job year after year even though there is no improvement.


That was an amazing win unfortunately I was not able to witness it. I think Japan is the only Asian country to win in the tournament yet. With that win also, they have a higher chance to qualify to Olympics. There is only 1 slot for Asian region in the Olympics so it is very important for the Japanese that they got that win.

Team Secret is not the same team a year ago. They are not that strong, and they seem to falter every time. Though they were able to drop OG and sweep them earlier, I am still not convinced they will be consistent. Even with Armel on the team now, they did not play that much together to have a strong chemistry. I think it the competition gets tougher; they will falter again. This might be the first time we will not see Puppey in TI. He was able to dodge that last year when they qualified through LCQ but it might be inevitable this year. We will see if they can get pass Entity in the next round. They will face each other in 2 days for the upper bracket semifinals.


Unfortunately, Entity and Luna Galaxy have other plans for them. They dropped both your bet, Level Up and Nigma Galaxy to the lower bracket. They were good in their last tournament but I guess they are not good enough for the top team in WEU. They still have a chance though in the lower bracket.
