Hope that Taira is tagged in the first round and livebet him then is my best guess.

I knew that Jauregui was going to be chinned at some point of her UFC run (she is a good punch thrower but has a notorious bad defense), but I overlook Gomes KO power because her striking is more carried in her agression over technique. 2 Underdog wins will help Gomes carve out a place in the division after starting in the UFC with a loss.

70 minutes left on the prelims and 2 fights.  Probably finishes in both.

Same. Was pretty concerned Kirk was going to win his fight though. Would’ve really made me look like a ******* for calling him prissy.

There is a tree providing oxygen to your brain, Reynolds. You should go outside and apologize to it.

Sorry my man, that was not a fluke. Gomes cracked Yazmin as she was throwing with her chin exposed and then followed up with another shot. No fluke. Just really good in close fighting. She was faster and threw straighter.

I can’t believe how much money I’ve lost over the past 3 weeks, I think I need a break from betting. 
Still have a few active parlays but I’m just pissed off now

Betting 100$ “Bleached” Dan Hooker is a new mythical fighter.

I don't know but keep in mind the bookies have taken their cut as well. So you made 1% even with bookies taking their cut, and not playing the market at all (choosing best time to bet) or curating bets at all (excluding the least likely dogs).

It's not like it was a 30-26 performance
