Also why in the last 60 days have you not placed a bet on Cappertek. Or Betmmatips so you can be third party tracked. All of it is pretty shady to say the least. Where was that Carlyle bet tracked at? besides a tapology forum

Hermansson vs. Vettori
Marvin Vettori, SUB, R2
Judging by the percentages I honestly think that Marvin Vettori is being massively overlooked here.... Jack Hermansson is a decent fighter who has had some impressive wins, he did also get embarrased by Jared Cannonier which granted isnt by any means a bad person to lose to. I just think Hermansson relys heavily on his ground and submission game which is not going to be as dominating as it has been against some people when hes fighting Marvin Vettori. Vettori is very strong and has great wrestling, better than Hermansson IMO and i think that is going to show massively in this fight. Hermanssons standup has been hyped up as of late mainly down to his performance against Souza where he pieced him up for 5 rounds which i agree is an impressive win however Souza is way past it and was never even heavily known for his stand up striking game anyway, sure he has power and has knockouts on his record but he is for sure known for his jiu jitsu and submission game. Vettori has arguably been the closest to beating the current Middleweight champ Adesanya when they fought dropping a split decision that a lot of people think he should have won. He just looks better and better every fight and i am well on board the hype train. I think Hermansson comes out the gate hot as always, peppers a few shots at verttori and then shoots for the take down, get out strengthed and ends up on the bottom, vettori softens him up with ground and pound for the round and ultimately gets a Sub in the second after taking him back down early after a few exchanges on the feet. Vettori Submission Round 2
St. Preux vs. Hill
Jamahal Hill, DEC
This is a tough fight for Hill and by far his biggest name to date. OSP is not the same fighter he once was in his prime but he did remind us all how dangerous he can be when he KO`d Menifield last time out... Jamahal Hill is tall and rangey much like OSP so St Preux wont have his usual advantages there. i think this fight will be close but ultimately i think that youth prevails here and Jamahal Hill gets the decision from the judges. Hill Decision
Santos vs. De La Rosa
Taila Santos, DEC
BORING... going solely on record here. dont have much interest in womens MMA unless it is top tier... which this certainly is not. Taila Santos must have something about her having a record of 16-1 but then again her one loss is to Mara Borella who is nowhere near title contention so maybe her record is padded out... nevertheless its hard to back against a 16-1 record so ill go with her. Taila Santos Decision
Dolidze vs. Allan
Roman Dolidze, SUB, R1
Roman Dolidze has looked decent in his fights, hes still green only having 7 pro fights but hes won them all with both KO`s and Submissions which is always impressive and shows he isnt just one dimentional, he hasnt been properly tested yet by tough competition and i dont think that changes here. I dont think that John Allan is going to cause any problems for Dolidze here, i think he gets the job done pretty quickly. Dolidze Submission round 1
Villante vs. Collier
Gian Villante, DEC
My God.... what a sh*t fight.... seriously this is utter garbage. Jake Collier could not look any less like an MMA fighter, he looks like the sort of bloke that ends his saturday night out at 9:30pm because he wants to be first in line for his donner meat and chips. Gian Villante was for sure winning his last fight but he exerted so much energy chasing the finish and ultimately not getting it done that he actually ended up having to tap out due to exhaustion.... sure he was in a scalf hold but come on, he was on top and it really didnt look that bad....he literally submitted himself by being to fat and gassed. Because of that he is so untrustworthy and if it was anyone else then i would predict against him but as he is fighting MMA`s answer to peter griffin i can just sway his way on the experience factor alone... Villante is way past it and is clinging on to being a UFC fighter by the skin of his teeth and in reality should probably be cut.... i think that is why hes been giving this fight, just to get him back in the win column. If it wasnt for the pandemic and lack of talent during this time then i think he would be long gone now. As for Jake Collier.... he is may aswell get the boot aswell, he is definitely not UFC calibre. Villante Decision
Jackson vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, SUB, R1
Damon Jackson has an impressive win on his record from his debut again Mirsad Bektic but if you watched that fight you will know that he won that fight because Bektic got way to ****y and confident because to be fair he was absolutely mauling Jackson... the fight was extremely one sided, bektic`s dominance became his own demise because he literally stopped taking his opponent seious and ended up paying for it getting caught in a submision which is Jacksons speciality. Unfortunately for Damon Jackson, Topuria is incredible with his submision and ground game, which means where Jackson usually has he best chance of victory will instead be his best chance of defeat in the fight and i see him being taught that there are levels to this game very fast. Topuria Submission Round 1
Benítez vs. Jaynes
Gabriel Benítez, DEC
Gabriel Benitez`s last 2 fights have been tough opponents in Sodiq Yusuff and Omar Morales. Jason knight is a big win on Gabriel Benitez`s record albeit nearly 3 years ago but i just feel hes faced the better competition, Justin Jaynes seems to be very dangerouos in round 1 but after that significalantly drops down in the 2nd and 3rd round, i think Gabriel picks up a decision win here, but there is also every chance that he sleeps Benitez in the first. Im siding with Benitez in this one though. Benitez Decision
Smolka vs. Quiñonez
Louis Smolka, TKO, R2
Really dont care who wins this one, both bums that will never make it to even top 15 so complete irrelevant fight really... closer than the percentages have it but i do slightly sway in favour of Louis Smolka, i think he catches Jose and finishes with some ground and pound for a tko stoppage in round 2. Smolka KO/TKO Round 2

@ngagnnu Vettori will improve because he's 26, But not to the level of Ortega. But he has 3 month imbetween fights while Ortega had 2 years off. I said many time before the Ortega fight, That is was retaded thinking a 28 year old was not gonna improve alot in 2 years and I made good money on the fight as Ortega was +180 in his last fight

Hermansson vs. Vettori
Jack Hermansson, SUB, R4
Both fighters are good on the ground but think this fight will be decided on cardio. In that case, Hermansson wins by a late submission. It's a great fight and easily the fight of the night.
St. Preux vs. Hill
Jamahal Hill, DEC
St. Preux is a great fighter but he's a bit over the hill (pun intended).
Santos vs. De La Rosa
Taila Santos, DEC
De La Rosa is a much better fighter than a lot of people are giving her credit for and may even win this if she's on form. I still think that Santos will win but I can't see her finishing this fight.
Benítez vs. Jaynes
Justin Jaynes, TKO, R2
Jaynes has got power and I'm very surprised that the bookies have him as the underdog at +165.
Dolidze vs. Allan
Roman Dolidze, TKO, R1
Bang! Bang! Goodnight! NEXT!
Evloev vs. Landwehr
Nate Landwehr, DEC
I was expecting Landwehr to be the underdog as Evloev is a very promising fighter but I've got a feeling that the massively underrated Landwehr might be a bit of a potential banana skin.
Smolka vs. Quiñonez
Louis Smolka, DEC
Close enough for the fight to go to the scorecards but it should still be fairly comfortable for Smolka.
Wiman vs. Leavitt
Jordan Leavitt, SUB, R2
This should be a routine victory for Leavitt.
Flick vs. Durden
Jimmy Flick, SUB, R1
Flick has a far superior ground game to Durden and I can see that being the main factor in this fight.
Jackson vs. Topuria
Damon Jackson, DEC
I'm obviously not qualified to be a bookie as I disagree with Jackson being the underdog at +180. This will be a close fight and I'm certain it will go the distance but Jackson looked very good against Bektić and I feel that while this is a step up in competition for him, it's a step that he will be able to make without any difficulty.
Villante vs. Collier
Gian Villante, DEC
This is without a doubt the weakest fight on the card but as for my prediction, I'm afraid that I can see this being a slog fest that grinds to a decision.
Jack Hermansson, SUB, R4
