Yeah, I'm talking a bit more here because my english is decent enough now, haha !

A few years ago my posts were half french half ratatouille lol

Anyway, I may throw some money on Diaz by sub in the later rounds, just for fun and because Chimaev was pretty exhausted in round 3 vs Burns. But I'm not entirely convinced he can survive that long. The fight might be more fun than expected, at least I hope so.

Chiasson-Aldana

Predictions: 1 of 3 Winners, 0 Perfect, 50 Points   |   Tied for 4820th

Both have trouble making bantam, wouldn't be surprised if this fight falls off. If it doesn't Aldana wins, Chiasson wasn't suppose to beat Dumont imo she beat herself plus the weight miss/scale controversy

This card would be perfect if Chimaev lost and Turkalj won. What's the parlay on Diaz Turkalj? Unfortunately I think such a parlay failing is the lock of the millenium.

Holland vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Holland, DEC
I’m hoping D-Rod wins because I bet a little bit on him for fun, -215 is a little high imo. This is a case where I’m betting one way and picking another, Holland is gonna be tough to beat at 170. He’s gonna have the length and range advantage in this one like he usually does and I think he’ll land a little better than D-Rod will

Just read that JDS called Gane a dirty fighter for hitting Tai in the back of the head. He really can't let go of the fact that if you run away from your opponent and turn your head away from him as he's throwing, he might hit you in the back of the head and knock you the **** out. Sad to see such a sympathetic guy be so delusional and unable to accept a fair loss (I'm talking about his own loss to Gane ofc).

He won’t let that go for some reason. Bad look for JDS, I like him and all but he needs to stop pretending like he got hit in the back of the head

Well he did get hit in the back of the head but it's because he turned his head and his back toward Gane as the elbow was being thrown and it hit him across the side and the back of his head, those have never been illegal. Same as if you get kicked in the head and the toes wrap around and hit you in the back of the head that's legal too, it's only a foul if it could reasonably have been avoided. Turning your back and head away from the opponent as they're already throwing is not an intelligent defense and many referees will immediately warn a fighter and be quick to step in and stop the fight whenever that happens.

Saw on Embedded ep.1 Caio Borralho is Khamzat's training partner? 

***? Diaz might actually be dead.

No offense to JDS but I think Cain beat a lot of brain cells out of him in their 2nd and 3rd fights. Those were 2 of the worst beat downs I’ve seen in a five round fight

I don't get why JDS doesn't just retire. His body is probably breaking down and he has nothing left to prove or achieve. 


Sad situation with Cain and JDS. The former is going to prison for 25 years and the later is a shell of his former self (hopefully only in the Octagon).

Love how quick the internet is. Everyone's replying to JDS with the clip of him throwing and landing the exact same hammerfist to the back of Derrick Lewis' head.

I like to give people's picks the benefit of doubt, but yeah I didn't expect her to be at an 85% plus she hasn't fought since 2019

I am not sure myself. I have to watch some tape on her but from what I can gather this will be a pretty close fight on the feet. And Reed usually loses because she gets grappled which is unlikely to happen here.

I have to say this whole card is really really difficult to pick. Almost every fight (except the Khamzat fight) could go either way and the odds are often heavily in favour of one side. I mean I never ever thought I would see Norma Dumont and Jake Collier at higher than minus 300. 

Maybe this is a good card to play dogs, but I am going to bet props a lot more than out right picks on this one.

is anyone a brain expert because I want to know how bad it is for Tony Ferguson brain to fight so soon after getting knockout like that, also it’s not like he’s not going to train for this fight, he’ll having a  6-8 week training camp where he’s getting hit in the face also, 

As a armchair doctor I say it won’t be good for Tony brain to come back so soon and it pisses me off that fight is happening for that reason, should someone protect Tony from himself

Let me just put it this way Duck, it's not good. And yes someone needs to protect him from himself.

He probably took this fight because he is still concussed.
