There are 2 clowns on here Gliese Frog and Foppa Fool who are actually talking about making "Ghost Books" and "Pretend betting". I am not kidding. Go back a few pages and see them talking about placing imaginary bets, recording them and tracking them. 😂
This is like those tea parties little girls have with dolls and imaginary freinds. Is this site actually a home for the mentally ill?
I can't believe what I am seeing.

Mezzor picked Song. Garry Lock.
Mana looked like he was dying on the scales. Saimon lock. Probably ITD.
Neal missed weight badly and looked like he had got caught stealing. Shavkat lock. Probably ITD.
Grasso was praying in the locker room. Schevchenko lock.
Blackshear looked bad. Basharat lock.

How would you suggest I do to ‘reduce’ the cringe factor of my profile? I’ve been meaning to give it a new makeover after all this time anyway. Suggestions would be helpful.

Jon Jones, TKO, R3
Well see if Jon is any different. If he's athleticism and IQ is still there hell win this wherever the fight takes place. Jons range control and wrestling will be the big keys here. Wouldnt be surprised if he GNP's Ciryl unconscious.
Shevchenko vs. Grasso
Valentina Shevchenko, TKO, R3
Can't see Alexa doing much on the feet here. Unless Valentina is just out of her prime already she wins this everywhere it takes place.
Neal vs. Rakhmonov
Shavkat Rakhmonov, TKO, R3
Shavkat says **** the weight difference like a boss and KO's Geoff for payback in the third. Geoff showing his mental state is shaky and he needs an advantage to get the dub.
Gamrot vs. Turner
Jalin Turner, TKO, R1
Jalin Is riding a big wave of momentum. That and his training vids looks dope af. Kid is slick everywhere and has nasty IQ when it comes to finding the finish. Love Gamerot, but The Tarantula gets the upset and the respect he deserves.
Pickett vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
GNP to GG
Garbrandt vs. Jones
Cody Garbrandt, DEC
Man do I want to fade Cody. Hard to pick him here but he does have the better overall skills. Jones should make this dirty and fight from the clinch. Cody will need to use the footwork and stay on the outside/not over commit to hooks. def throwing jones in some parlays.
Brunson vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R2
Bumson fades in the second. Don't think he's gonna be there mentally when it gets tough.
Araujo vs. Ribas
Viviane Araujo, DEC
Araujo has the better sticking fundamentals. However, Ribas does have real good strength, but lacks a deep arsenal of tools in her wrestling bag. If she can't get the head and arm throw I'm interested in how she gets the nod. 60/40 here I feel. wouldn't be surprised if Ribas got the sub in the first when they are dry or lays on Araujo in the third and partial first rounds.
Marquez vs. Barriault
Julian Marquez, DEC
Tough fight to call. Marc has solid fundamentals and defense. will be interesting to see if he tries to wrestle early like most others. Can see Julian taking the first if Marc doesn't wrestle and the second round being a finish for Marquez as well if he's coming in better shape. Third round will be most interesting/boring if Marc takes the first.
Machado Garry vs. Song
Ian Machado Garry, TKO, R2
Kenan will enter the empty space and get cracked.
Martinez vs. Saaiman
Cameron Saaiman, TKO, R2
Cameron needs a fast start here and set the pace. I like the test for him. Kid has a lot of good ideas on the feet and shows a ton of potential.
Penne vs. Ricci
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
Ricci will have the advantage on the feet and gas tank. will be interesting if she loses the first round. Hard to see Penne getting a nod down the stretch here. more than likely sub or bust. In my mind she is live for 1.5rounds via sub.
Basharat vs. Blackshear
Farid Basharat, SUB, R1
Levels different on the ground. Easiest path for Farid.
Radzhabov vs. Ribovics
Esteban Ribovics, TKO, R1
Big experience difference. However, Loik gets hit too much to get thru a fight with Esteban from what I've seen. Prob lead left hook off an empty leg kick will make it GG. maybe something on the inside. ribovics has been working the straight punches a lot from what I've seen and is dumb strong. Looking to open the night big. interested to see what the gas tank looks like, but I feel the kid has a lot of heart and self confidence.
