And I mixed up there it was merab vs Henry over 2.5 in the first one and merab by decision in the second
I find whenever I do 2-3 legs though I end up putting way too much on them and something goes wrong so my logic is make them a bit riskier odds wise but spend a lot less. I don’t need to make a ton at this it’s more of a little side thing for now.

One of the Saddest Cards I've Ever Watched
Predictions: 2 of 2 Winners, 0 Perfect, 115 Points | Tied for 6664th
Rinya Nakamura's wicked KOs were flukes. Can't finish a fight to save his life and all his hype is now buried deep within the earth.
Likable Aussie fighter once again steps up to fight on short notice and gets brutally punished for it. Never take chances, kids.
KO machine Roman Kopylov is crushed by an American Dagestani, another prospect bites the dust.
Merab amazingly is now likable, but his fun win came at the cost of Henry Cejudo's career, we'll never see him again.
The cuck Ian Garry pulls out another boring win in one of the worst fights of the year with NPC Geoff Neal, who switched places with Merab as the boring knees-against-the-cage fighter.
We witnessed the beginning of the end for Paulo Costa's career.
Notable prick Ilia Topuria brutally knocks out lovable fan favorite Alexander Volkanovski, one of my favorite fighters of all time, and only becomes a star in Spain's eyes.
The only highlight:
Danny Barlow scores a wicked KO in round 3, when he should have done so in round 1.
I'm going to get back to work now, it's more rewarding than watching MMA or any American sport right now for that matter.

Ha! Did you see that? My predictions for tonight's UFC fights were spot-on, as always. I just raked in so much cash, it's ridiculous! This just proves what I've been saying all along—I'm the undisputed king of sports gambling. To all my loyal followers, you're welcome for the easy money. And to the haters, keep doubting while I keep winning. I'll be back next week to add more zeroes to my bank account.

Just realized I almost cracked top 100. Definitely a nice rebound after a fairly rough start to the year.

SADNESS!!
Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 540 Points | Tied for 2633rd
The longer you watch this the more you realise that no one is invincible and no matter how great they are in their peak they will most likely get absolutely melted eventually!!! Sucks a bag of *****!!!
Still, gotta credit Topuria. He was superb tonight. I had a feeling this would happen but during the week I convinced myself that Volk had it in the bag and Topuria was starting to feel the pressure. But as soon as the fight started and Topuria had that right hand lined up within the 2nd time he threw it I just felt it was inevitable that the KO was coming!
Hopefully Volk takes a little time. He obviously deserves the rematch bit 2 KOs back to back I think a little rest is needed.
