Early leans/props

Predictions: 6 of 8 Winners, 3 Perfect, 430 Points   |   Tied for 5115th

So these are my early leanes from 1 to 8 , with 1 being the most confident pick - 8 least:

- Shavkat ITD or submission
- Nickal ITD or KO
- Garry ITD or KO
- Jones DEC or over 3.5 rounds 
- Farid DEC
- Saaiman ITD
- Brunson KO
- Turner DEC

Garry by finish is a must bet on this card. I'd take Gabe Green to knock Song out in a heartbeat and Garry beat Green no question. 

Max Griffin is 7-7 in the UFC and he starched Song. This is a step down in competition the UFC booked specifically to try and give Garry a highlight reel and nobody can convince me otherwise. 

Garry by murder.

Yeah bud I aggree, a small fight to boost Garry more and hype him more up. Green made me fan of him though too so looking forward seeing him in the future

Jon Picogram Jones the most overrated of all time. Bullied small LHWs and got smeshed as soon people of his size showed up in his division. Gifted decision vs Reyes and got outstruck by one legged Santos

Guys its official now.

Jon Jones is back and has defeated Cyril Gane in his comeback fight at Heavy Weight. No need to buy the PPV on Saturday, the results are already out.

Mezzor has picked Gane. Jones wins.

Mana vs Saaiman is a tough one for me. I think Saaiman is legit but Mana is pretty good in his own right and has more experience.

I just don't know why so many people are going with Saimaan by KO. He aint knocking out Manaboi, if he wins (which he probably will) itll be by decision or even submission, as he's way better than Martinez on the ground

Parlay thoughts

Predictions: 11 of 14 Winners, 4 Perfect, 745 Points   |   Tied for 1053rd

Obviously some heavy favorites here but:
Shevchenko, Shavkat, Garry, Basharat, Nickal

Also looking at:
Ricci, Gamrot

The favorites I just don’t see losing, obviously it’s MMA but they out skill their opponents in most aspects of the fight. As for Ricci she’s levels above Penne and I think Gamrot will wrestle **** Turner as Turner doesn’t have the TDD that Dariush has. Just food for thought going into the weekend.

Jones VS. Gane

Predictions: 12 of 14 Winners, 6 Perfect, 830 Points   |   Tied for 220th

I'm going through the forum and seeing a ton of people choosing Jones by Decision. 

Is Jon gonna have the cardio to win the fight by decision? Let's be real. He hasn't fought since 2020 and he's fighting 40 pounds heavier. We can't compare his cardio to how it's been in the past
