I just posted this but I totally tanked tonight. I nailed the first 4 fights did got the fighter and at least method on all the first 4, two perfect. Then the benevidez fight was my only other correct call all night. The main card full of underdog victories.

I was pissed cuz I had picked the odds favorites in all fights, but then I went on to only get one right on the main card, and it was Lytle. Seems like it was the day for the underdogs, lol.

Chin up Swickotine!!!! I've had weekends where I went 30%, but look at my overall percentage. You'll bounce back. I know it.

I got 7 out of 18 fights this weekend. I'll no longer make picks in those small events with unknown fighters, I'd rather play it safe and keep the percentage high...
