UFC on ESPN 7: Overeem vs. Rozenstruik

Actually what is most respected here aren't people who just pick UFC because it's the easiest promotion to pick. My % would be at least 3% higher if I just picked UFC, but I pick ACA, LFA,One, Boxing....all kinds of ****. UFC is just one promotion and anyone who only watches UFC isn't a real fight fan. That's casual ****. I routinely see better quality cards than Flagship UFC events elsewhere. The UFC doesn't have a monopoloy on the talent out there, just the market.

And regardless, Brandon just isn't very good. And that would be fine if he didn't believe he was despite all the evidence to the contrary. I am better at picking MMA than Brandon and I don't consider myself particularly good at it. He's a deluded glenn quagmire looking ******y little prick and deserves everything he gets.

We have a couple of other Tap members with channels who are considerably better, notably willmartin.

Addendum: He's also as dumb as ***** glued to a turnip, and wailing on him isn't even particularly fun because it is like trying to play ping pong with a one-legged spastic.

I'd encourage you to watch LFA, Bellator. Cage Warriors etc even if only for purposes of gambling. ACA also. These are essentially the feeder promotions for the UFC and there's often a lot of value on fighters emerging from these circuits, especially on UFC Debut. I have the occasional punt, I did pretty well on Lewis recently.

Don't get me wrong; UFC is still hard to pick and sometimes you get a UFC card that is as hard to pick as anything else out there. MMA is hard to pick in general compared to something like Boxing almost all of the time. But the UFC is the biggest promotion. It has the most tape to offer on fighters on its roster, and chances are if you've made it to the UFC you don't have some egregiously terrible aspect to your technique, which means there's much less 'jackpot' moments we're your like 'how the **** did that happen and what the **** is this guy doing here? By the time fighters get to the UFC, we already know what they looked like in feeder promotions, and can make estimations based on those performances. That simply isn't the case with promotions like LFA, Cage warriors. ACA etc. Even ONE, because for the most part they are composed of developing fighters.

That isn't to say that you don't get a whole lot of can crushes in those promotions, you do. But overall, it's much more to  difficult pick a whole card and not get ass******. Plenty of times I've gone 3/4/  from 12 or 15 bouts  picking feeder promotion cards, very rare I'll do that poorly on a UFC event. I'm pretty sure I have though, I think I went 3/12 one UFC event which is the worst I've ever done I believe. Worst ever is 1/12 on a cage warriors event.
