Just an extra bit of info btw - I heard Juarez Gomez got covid recently.

That pushes my pick % for Demopoulos from 55% to 70%.

Don't get me wrong, Moreno is good, very good. But everyone is judging Figgy on his last fight. My advice - dont!

I am guessing that a lot of ppl will be surprised this week at how easily Figgy wins this. 

If I am wrong I will happily admit it, but I don't think I will be wrong.

I could see Figueiredo winning, but I don't know about making it look easy. Brandon is probably the most durable flyweight next to Pantoja, and he managed to take everything Deiveson could dish out the first time they met - he knows what to expect and it showed in their rematch since he pretty much picked up from where he left off in the previous fight before he jacked his shoulder.

If Fig goes in there trying to get Moreno out early, I think he'll be in for a very rough night.

Man, feeling so tempted to play Demopoulos by sub, and I was picking Silvana at the start of the week!

One girl pulled off an inverted triangle and had a competitive fight with Godinez, while the other got ran straight over in less than a round, never beat anyone decent and is approaching 40.

Think I'll just stick to Vanessa's ML though, no reason to piss away money on props for a low-level WMMA fight.

Vanessa Demopoulos   vs.   Silvana Gómez Juárez 


I'm picking Duhmopoulos. But I do so like **** out my shoe sole with a stick.


Having watched several of her bouts I am reasonably certain she blew her way to whatever ribbons she's won, and whatever tournaments she took them in must be the grappling circuit equivalents of Belarus' Eurovision entry in a crop famine year. She has to work very hard to take her opponent down--even if they have the TDD of a drunk spastic trying to win an egg and spoon space on a rapidly defrosting ice skating rink in a pair of flippers. She has zero situational or choke awareness once she gets it to the mat--just fumbles about prodding her unsuspecting opposition's anus, failing to find a way to mount, like an aged blind Borzoi trying to **** a stuffed panda.


This fight likely goes to a decision, but before that happens, here's mine: I'm going to find something else to do while this is happening, because they're both festy bums who shouldn't have been invited to the UFC--indeed, the only things they should be invited to are picnics to draw flies away from the hampers.

I like Figueiredo v Moreno to go to decision, calculating a 60% probability for that outcome. At plus money, I'm staking 7 units here. Maddalena v Rod. is the most likely fight to finish, IMHO. Though no bet, at strong favorite odds.

As always you crack me up bro lol.

And I agree that Demopoulos is going to have to find a way to get it to the ground. Her wrestling has not looked good enough and seems to pull gaurd or roll for a leg more. If she gets it to the ground though I think its a wrap.

If it goes to decision its a toss up because Gomez clearly has the superior striking.

So excited for the fights this weekend, cannot wait to see how it plays out. Running with a parlay (or a multi for us Aussies (lol) of: Vieira inside the distance, Giles moneyline & Della-Maddalena inside the distance = +550 or $6.50/1. 

Also just uploaded our UFC 270:Gane/Ngannou breakdown & analysis, going to be doing more of this video style content if anyone is into watching this style of video:

it is below the level of last 3 or 4 ppvs but isn't that bad. I dont blame instagram people  tho, because UFC made us get used to the high quality ppvs lately (when it comes both to names and fights), but I am sure this card will deliver fine content

Yeah, looking at card again I can understand why. Even though there some ******* action fighters, there’s really no “named” fighters that regular fans would know. Only filthy degenerates know how hype the Topuria, Gravely, Barcelos, Perreira, and madellana fights are going to be. Cause they’ve never been promoted. I mean Barcelos is about as screwed as a fighter can get promotion wise outside of Leon Scott. And he’s much more exciting.
