I started with the left foot.


2/4.
fifty%.
I hope to have a minimum of 70% in a few weeks.
MMA is a difficult sport to forecast.
At 60%, you're good.
At 70%, you're very good.
I overestimated the current Robbie.
I underestimated Poatan.
And in gambling, I lost money.
I will change my formula.
Adesanya and Volkanovski, great ones.
