Whittaker was like a +245 dog vs Tavares. Easiest money I've ever made thanks to @BestFightPicks on twitter. Shout-out

Time for the Reaper to once again claim the soul of the Soldier of God, unfortunately.  I am a fanboy of both fighters, but Whittaker is coming in at full health and Romero had a **** weight cut.  Whittaker got this easy.

If I didn't say I was drinking you wouldn't be able to tell. You tried though. 0-2. Remember that time you said Tai could only beat short guys because you've only watched 3 of his fights and never look at anything but records ahahaha Casual

I think i picked hall against him too. I didn't see his grappling getting to the level it's at now either. What a turnaround.

I said 'outside fighters', Read it again.  Lengthy, outside fighters.I wouldn't describe any of his pro competition as that, at least nothing like Arlovski.

You only picked 3 fights and all of them are incorrect. Maybe you're just not cut out for this @zarog. 7 years into this and only a black belt. How is that even possible?

that was close to 10-8. Romero was just a punching bag despite the lack of damage.
