They should give Nate Diaz the immediate title shot against Gaetchje.

I think I'm all in on Cookie Monster. Will probably be a split decision which seems on par for a lot of the ranked fights in this division.

Predictions: 10 of 14 Winners, 8 Perfect, 790 Points   |   Tied for 26th with 2 others

Cortez vs. Gatto
Melissa Gatto, SUB, R2
Not sure why my prediction didn't enter for this one with the others but I'm leaning Gatto. Cortez is so overrated. Gatto will catch her with a submission off of her back.

Bellator and PFL betting

Predictions: 10 of 14 Winners, 4 Perfect, 640 Points   |   Tied for 444th

Guys just wanted to put out some thoughts I have been having for a while. Forgive my rant.

I know a lot of you may have lost a lot of money on betting PFL and Bellator this week. I had my suspicions and stayed away. Looks like I was right to do that.

We all know that MMA is a corrupt sport. From bad referees to corrupt judges and suspect fighters, unbelievable decisions are now the normal. At least 3-4 robberies a card, especially in the most likely fights to ruin a parlay or crash popular bets. This is not a coincidence imo

I have noticed a pattern. PFL cards have the worst robberies in MMA that I have seen. And as most of you know there are already serious problems. Having broadcast a card after it was over and the results were already known to some people is the most obvious example. Of course nothing will be done.

Also Bellator events have a trend. If there is any card outside the USA (E.g. Ireland/Russia/France) you can guarantee there will be absolute highway robberies.

My advice to everyone is avoid betting on the PFL like the plauge. Also avoid any Bellator events outside the US. And do not bet on heavy favourites on the prelims.

Hope you guys have some luck tomorrow. But this weekend looks very dodgy to me overall and I do not have much hopes for a clean card tomorrow. Oliviera's weight miss already has made me put up red flags. Something dodgy there already. The one good thing is that Sal D'Amato is in France I think so cannot be in Arizona tomorrow. A silver lining on a very dark cloud.

Will be putting up my picks soon but I do not trust this card one bit. Bet safely

Did any of you fellas switch your pick since Oliviera missed weight?

 I don't think I can go against the Olive King!

Nope. Missing by half a pound because he thought he was on weight doesn’t concern me. If he had a bad cut before than I would be concerned. I will say, the hesitation to hit the scales for him was weird but overall not concerned.

Oliveira was robbed by Dana White 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 6 Perfect, 640 Points   |   Tied for 489th

https://twitter.com/MMAJunkie/status/1522742627635933184?t=iZWjdWpKomzdugMoPB_0zA&s=19

Arizona Athletic Committee released a statement basically saying the scales before actual weigh ins are provided by the UFC.
 So that means the UFC provided different scales than the ones the fighters would of used or the scales weren't calibrated correctly, due to them not being official weigh in scales. They wouldn't have to be checked by the commission.
(Only scale that has to be checked by committee is official weigh in scale.)


Something fishy is going on and I'm not a conspiracy theory dude. If Khabib can magically make weight so could've Charles.
