I thought Money Moicano deserved a bonus. Dude has been the unsung hero for all the cards he's been on this year.

Adesanya Knew Something We Didn't

Predictions: 1 of 1 Winners, 0 Perfect, 50 Points   |   Tied for 5301st

I am actually curious of what Izzy meant with "knowing something you don't" heading into this one, I'm guessing he meant his grappling but we already knew he had some success there from the Vettori fight. If it was striking Izzy fought much the same with jabs and leg kicks primarily but did do more with his aggressive one twos (Izzy's most effective work in the fight), either way of course it did not go Izzy's way so it does not really matter but once again he has not been able to deliver on his words and this time it did not cost him anger from some viewers after a 'boring' decision but he lost his title.

So I can't help but notice and say, you went 5/10 tonight (didn't even have the balls to pick every fight), and your losses were: Reyes, McCann, Puelles, Azaitar and Izzy.

You actually picked those first four names, think about that real quick...And YOU, want to sit here in this forum and claim you're some God's gift to MMA handicapping and predictions?!

Take that ****** TERRIBLE L and lose some of that ego you got. Sound like a clown with 337 predictions and 389 forum posts. -194 post score 😄.

Any more of these 5/10 cards with insanely awful picks, you'll be where I'm at with a 58%! You know, like the people you roast all the time because you're currently sitting at 82% and think again, that you're something special. 

Reyes and Azaitar were complete public plays and you took them with confidence. You took Molly McCann...A fighter who on DK sportsbook, had 79% of the handle at +350~ odds. And you thought SHE was going to win?!

Seems to me you have MUCH to learn for someone talking like they make thousands and have winnings picks consistently. Every one has bad picks and plays, but when you sit like you're on a pedestal and then put out picks like this, you should hide yourself in embarrassment for a bit.

LW division

Predictions: 10 of 14 Winners, 1 Perfect, 610 Points   |   Tied for 373rd


would be interesting fights:

interim : Poirier vs Dariush

Fiziev vs Gaethje ( but Gaethje keeps dodging him)

Gamrot vs Chandler

Dawson vs Dober

Turner vs Hooker

Moicano vs Alvarez

Why do you think there should be an interim title when the next title defense is already booked?

Yes, you're righjt. For number 1 contender.
That would be smart move for Poirier.
maybe also for Dana, Dariush is not selling ppv

I agree with you. Next title contender for me should either be the winner of Poirier v Dariush (if we look at the rankings) or winner of Dariush v FIziev (if we want some fresh air in the division).

@high

You don't need to write me essays but I give this a D+

I lost 1k on Adesanya but made 1.3k from cage warriors so still up 300.

I'm still the best 🙂
