You shat in your school's pool to avoid having to show a cute girl your boner? Wouldn't that be a good thing?

You were in a scenario many dream of, but never have...A chick on your water sports team who can see your **** and potentially get you in like sin?!

Sounds like you like men to me...

Anyway, outside of that nonsense...

@hlgh what an incredibly romantic idea. If only I could have been then the man you are today. If only I'd possessed the intestinal fortitude... could have exposed my gently nodding 6 inch water-sausage to her totally unsuspecting self and Miss Kissick, the 56-year-old instructor both in the brisk, cold hard light of that aquascape. Magical.

To be fair I coulda been right there with you on the broader situation, but ****ting in the pool to get the swim team's day called off and avoid this entire situation, that's just epic. 🤣😂

Some memories those must be, lol.

Fun fact

Predictions: 4 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 275 Points   |   Tied for 3129th

Last couple women who were 90~/10~ on tapology and around the -200 to -250~/+150 to +200~ on the ML.

89% Istella Nunes (-200~) v 11% Sam Hughes (+185) = fav loss
87% Karol Rosa (-250) v 13% Sara McMann (+200) = fav loss
91% Cory McKenna (-200 to -250+) v  9% Elise Reed (+200~) = fav loss

Next comparable fight, this Saturday.

86% Gina "Gasout" Mazany (-185~) v 14% Shanna "The Shanimal" Young (+155)

It's a little shorter on the ML, so not the BEST comparison, but to me if you're a bettor out there, just be careful and I shouldn't have to say this but, this is women's low level MMA.

What are people's thoughts on the gm3/ jotko fight?

I'm torn between jotko boring points win or gm3 to get the sub because jotko is good at nothing but average at everything

Posted this somewhere earlier if you can dig it up. My take on it is that it's a close fight but Jotko should be able to keep it where he needs to. Gerald has looked solid lately but Jotko is in the category of fighters who just have a tendency of winning slow fights.

@Rusty, it does be wild though. You’re probably the best consistent picker to roll through for UFC events bar none. @Ranger was up there too, but he disappeared.

Keep posting please, cause if I’m on the fence and you’re hard opposite I’ll literally not make the bet and it’s saved me 5/7 times and I like those odds lmfao.

Anyone think that Candelario is a good dog bet this week?  Sure, Tairo has a good record but all of them were outside of the UFC.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 5 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 376th

Font vs. Vera
Rob Font, DEC
My prediction rate is only 63% so take my comments with a grain of salt. In 2022 it's been closer to 70% but anyway I'm picking Font to win this one. I've been back & forth but Chito seems to only beat cans/guys with no chin. Davey Grant is his most impressive win tbh. He could get a sub late  because he pushes a good pace but I think font is better.

Collier vs. Arlovski
Andrei Arlovski, DEC
Whoever Arlovskis manager is, that guy needs a raise. If you can't KO him you can't beat him.

Fili vs. Brito
Andre Fili, DEC
Brito lost to Bill Algeo so they gave him a better opponent. I don't believe in locks but fili should dominate

Gordon vs. Dawson
Grant Dawson, DEC
I think this will be a close fight. I can see Gordon giving Dawson some problems but I like Dawsons relentlessness. Hopefully he doesn't gas out

Elkins vs. Connelly
Darren Elkins, DEC
It's hard to pick Elkins considering his brain is probably made of pudding by now but I don't see Connelly being a threat at all in the striking or grappling

Meerschaert vs. Jotko
Krzysztof Jotko, DEC
**** I hate watching Jotko fight but Meerschaert was losing to Stoltzfus before getting that sub & Stoltzfus is the worst middleweight on the roster (fun fact I went to high-school with stoltzfus. He played Bass in a band called The Rodans) anyway **** Jotko but I think he'll win.

Romanov vs. Sherman
Alexandr Romanov, SUB, R1
The only way Sherman wins is if Romanov loses by DQ.

da Silva vs. Figueiredo
Daniel da Silva, SUB, R1
Not confident but I can't pick Figgy. Dude has 0 fight IQ.

Lainesse vs. Green
Gabe Green, DEC
Yohan could get the KO because Green gets hit alot but I think Green has a solid chin and can win 2 rounds. Should be a fun fight but not one I'd bet on

Breeden vs. Levy
Natan Levy, DEC
Breeden only beats cans & Levys grappling will be too much for him

Mazany vs. Young
Gina Mazany, DEC
Shanna Young has 0 takedown defense or ground game. Mazany sucks too but not as much as Young

Taira vs. Candelario
Tatsuro Taira, SUB, R2
This dude is a wizard on the ground and Candelario doesn't always make the best decisions during scrambles. The only thing thatworries me in this fight is how Young Taira is & its his first in the UFC so he might try to get an impressive early win & end up gassing out

It's weird to me how although Rob is the favorite, on Tap and in betting odds, everywhere I go it seems like most people are getting behind Chito.

I think casual fans, those not on forums like me, don’t know Vera. I have seen so many comments in other places that don’t even know that Chito has been in the UFC for years. They think this is his first test. UFC has done an amazing job erasing his win over O’Malley.

That being said I think Font might be deservingly favorited. But let’s go 🇪🇨
