@Tioeken I don't have it obviously.

I only send gifts to people on the site who put in a lot of work to make it better, since this site doesn't cost me anything, and I'm behind a VPN and have a bunch of adblocking extensions and my passive kick-in is virtually nothing. I don't believe in free lunches. Nothing that requires the labor of others is a right.

I'm sending Mikey another signed glove this year. It was far more expensive than the last one I sent, and I kind of want to keep it, but he'll be well chuffed with it. If I'm going to kick in something, I want to know it's going to where it is deserved. That's how my site donations work so long as I am using this site.

Paiva can win? O'Malley beats Chito in a rematch?

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 610 Points   |   Tied for 1027th

If Raulian uses the right gameplan, and fights smart and conservative (being patient and careful when closing the distance, getting Sean up against the cage, controlling the distance, picking his shots,...), he will get knocked out in the 2nd round, and not the 1st. Paiva is a great fighter, but he's outmatched here, style-wise and level-wise

O'Malley is one of the best strikers in the ufc. I can't believe he's underestimated just cuz of the freak accident of a toe hitting his nerve that caused his foot to go numb (Chito threw a normal lowkick to the thigh, and Sean went backwards to avoid it and accidentally the toe hit the nerve). There's some who say O'Malley was dominating the fight, and that he would beat Vera 999/1000 times... And maybe they're right, or maybe they're not, but my point is just that Sean is too underrated just cuz of his clownish antics and cuz of what i just said beforehand

I rate Paiva's chance of beating clownpubes as pretty low TBH.

It would be hilarious, but it's very unlikely.

Scintillating New Predictions

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 425 Points   |   Tied for 3243rd

Muniz vs. Anders
I want André Muniz at -150. He has a underrated finger lock and a jinxed tai otoshi. Muniz will likely violate the opposition.

Silva vs. Wright
I adopt Bruno Silva at -365. He has a vicious facebuster. Silva might quarantine the counteragent.

Hall vs. Minner
I fancy Ryan Hall at -200. He has a priceless attitude. Hall shall negate the foe. Believe in yourself!

Costa vs. Kelley
I appoint Randy Costa at -180. He has a natural bicycle kick and a woebegone scissors sweep. Costa won't tackle the previous pitfalls.

Neal vs. Ponzinibbio
I want Santiago Ponzinibbio at -130. He has a twisted inverted facelock. Ponzinibbio must modulate the opposing forces.

Blanchfield vs. Maverick
I predict Erin Blanchfield at -135. She has a resilient character. Blanchfield should escape the performance.

Emmett vs. Ige
I fancy Josh Emmett at -165. He has a xenotropic check hook and a meritorious hammerfist. Emmett ought to guess the cycle.

O'Malley vs. Paiva
I am with Sean O'Malley at -310. He has a homemade triangle choke. O'Malley should employ the ring announcer.

Nunes vs. Peña
I choose Amanda Nunes at -900. She has a yellow-bellied reverse side kick. Nunes should weaken the TV audience.

Kara-France vs. Garbrandt
I am taking Cody Garbrandt at -140. He has a ultrasonic hammerfist. Garbrandt should operate the Octagon.

Cachoeira vs. Robertson
I am all over Gillian Robertson at -375. She has a digital clinch. Robertson shall bury the performance.

Oliveira vs. Poirier
I am sticking with Dustin Poirier at -150. He has a lascivious quivering palm death touch. Poirier might warp the underdog.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 14 Winners, 5 Perfect, 565 Points   |   Tied for 1625th

Oliveira vs. Poirier
Charles Oliveira, SUB, R3
Crazy, amazing, beautiful first few rounds, until Charlie has a second win, lands a crazy kick up top, jumps on Poirers back as soon as he huddles up, sinks in an RNC while standing until tap. AND STILL.

Nunes vs. Peña
Amanda Nunes, TKO, R2
WBW Knockout. Two back to back hooks from Nunes puts Pena out on her back. AND STILL.

Neal vs. Ponzinibbio
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO, R3
Once the cardio becomes a factor, Ponz lands a huge hook, follows up on the ground for a tko finish.

Kara-France vs. Garbrandt
Kai Kara-France, DEC
29-28x2, 30-27 Kai Kara actually dominates this fight, nullifies Cody's offense completely.

O'Malley vs. Paiva
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R2
O'Malley lands a brutally fast head kick, follows up with vicious punches knocking out Paiva in a wild fight. Also think he could rock and submit Paiva, even with the ladders BJJ experience - I mean, he would be out on his feet at the time.

Emmett vs. Ige
Josh Emmett, DEC
SPLIT Decision, 29-28x2 for Emmett and a lone 30-27 for Ige. Close fight, Ige might win this.

Munhoz vs. Cruz
Dominick Cruz, DEC
Vintage Cruz! 30-27x2,29-28x1 Pedro struggles to keep up and actually whifs on most EARLY leg kicks in the first round tiring him out, and Cruz stays fresh. 30 foot cage tonight too.

Sakai vs. Tuivasa
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R2
Tai has a fierce, no-quit attitude. That attitude shows up tonight and relentlessly lands on Sakai until either he falls, or the ref steps in on the cage.

Silva vs. Wright
Jordan Wright, TKO, R1
Upset alert. I think Wrights style/range will give him a unforseen opening sending Silva to the floor with a headkick, following up with some vicious quick straight punch ground and pound.

Muniz vs. Anders
André Muniz, SUB, R1
I think Muniz makes another crazy statement , ANOTHER Armbar in the 1st.

Blanchfield vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, SUB, R3
Maverick has to be pissed off about that classic absolute robbery against Barber. She makes sure it does not go to the judges. Rear Naked Choke in the 3rd, after wearing Erin down in the 2nd.

Hall vs. Minner
Darrick Minner, DEC
UPSET!! Minner has the experience to avoid Hall, Hall will gladly let the clock run out as he waits for an opportunity to submit. Minner 29-28x2,30-27.

Costa vs. Kelley
Randy Costa, DEC
I feel as if Costa is going to have to prove he can fight a long fight against someone who knows he can do that. I think he can squeeze a 29-28 Unanimous.

Cachoeira vs. Robertson
Priscila Cachoeira, TKO, R2
UPSET! Robertson struggles to make this her fight, gets backed up and frustrated until Pris unloads, ref steps in...standing tko.

Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 4 Perfect, 595 Points   |   Tied for 1218th

Oliveira vs. Poirier
Dustin Poirier, SUB, R3
I think Dustin could get his belt if he can get past the early storm of Oliveira.

Nunes vs. Peña
Amanda Nunes, SUB, R3
Looks like it could be another quick one for Nunes, unless Pena has something prepared. This one will be fun.

Neal vs. Ponzinibbio
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO, R3
If Neal shows up as he was before before being hospitalized, I'm ready to be wrong.

Kara-France vs. Garbrandt
Cody Garbrandt, TKO, R2
If Cody shows up, could be tough for Kai.

O'Malley vs. Paiva
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R2
Looks like it could be another thrilling episode of The Sugar Show.

Emmett vs. Ige
Josh Emmett, DEC
Gimme Josh.

Munhoz vs. Cruz
Dominick Cruz, DEC
If Dominick can secure 2 rounds, it should be cruz control.

Sakai vs. Tuivasa
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
Sure. I could take Tai catching Sakai early.

Silva vs. Wright
Jordan Wright, SUB, R1
Oof, fast one. I'll give Jordan credit; If he can get going quickly with the choke, that could be a smooth path.

Muniz vs. Anders
André Muniz, SUB, R1
Perhaps Muniz slaps on a quick one

Had an amazing middle school teacher, 3 years of middle school  5 lessons of English a week. (13-15 years old)

I'll take that as a compliment even tho I believe it is not as well as it could be. I personally believe I haven't made that much of a progress since joining highscool (teacher + 2-3 lessons a week)

Basically, for past 4 years or so - I learn all from internet - games, tv series, picking english commentary over polish while watching sport, for past  year using this forum also.

Poland isnt Russia, we are influenced by western culture, we actually learn English in school. We also have second language, most likely to be German, less likely to be French, Spanish or Russian.

As I like learning English, it is unfortunate I'm from a small city, we rarely get to speak English in bigger cities here, so where I live I had no real life random oppurtunity to speak english, like speak not type, so my accent isn't as fluent and as good as I'd love it to be. The only chance for me to speak to native speakers is thru discord I guess (which I have never done actually) 

To be honest I would not be mad if there were people here pointing out my mistakes in language because it only means improvement for me.

I have a short story about Americans I met in my 10 thousand city, if you want me to share it, I will on miscel... something thread

You have better English then some people born in the United States. Much more articulate and have a better vocabulary then some of the people i see on a regular basis. You probably just miss slight pop culture references and small non important things. Very nice!

English must be a nightmare to learn as a non-native speaker. It steals words and terms from modern and extinct languages both.
