@baremaras

Never said CLD hit us up, I said one of his boxing coaches did. Check out the last time I made a pick on here, I upload videos every week that run through our picks. Also we are plus 76 odd units in a 12 month period - fully verified. All the best with your extensive connections champ

That is NOT one of his coaches, that message is full of spelling and grammer errors and he can't even spell CLD's name properly lol! baremaras was right, you are coping very right hard now.

My advice to bettors

1. DO NOT play Mokaev
2. Careful with Casey O'Neil- I would avoid this
3. DO NOT bet Sam Patterson 
4. Careful with Jack Shore
5. Careful with Miller

Locks
1. Leroy Duncan
2. Vettori
3. Hadley
4. Gunner 
5. Probably Fiziev

I don't understand why the top fighters like Usman or Makhachev don't ask you, me and Bananas for analysis. 

They would be even better if they did.

Or at least ask Mezzor who he is picking so they can pretend they are injured and back out of the fight if he picks them

Italians in the ufc have had some weak chins look at alessio di chirco, Carlo pedersoli, and alessio sakkara, marvin is next. Hes never fought some with Power who can negate the wrestling. Roman is another paulo with high bjj and wrestling I can see Marvin getting his first ko lost here.

Nelson vs. Barberena
Gunnar Nelson, SUB, R2
Another tricky pick here as at his best Gunner is better than Barberena however, he has been inactive over the past few years. Gunner has a mad underrated ground game so I’m going for the gunner choke in the second as the best Bryan doesn’t seem like he can beat a slowed-down Gunner and getting sub by RDA with RNC a move Gunner has sub numerous opponents with doesn’t give me much confidence in Barberena.

Maia vs. O'Neill
Jennifer Maia, DEC
New vs the old guard. Casey is making a case as being one of the villains in the woman’s division with her violent ground game and no ****s attitude when questioned. Three stoppages in four win her last coming via split decision to a heavy ground game-based retiring Roxanne Modafferi. The UFC is giving her a real test in Maia as she isn’t exiting the game on the same page as Roxanne was. If Casey ground game is as good as it looks in her past 4 fights against a step-up in Maia then we could be seeing a future title challenger or at the very least a top 5 candidate. With all, I feel as though Jennifer still has enough in the tank to get that W but won’t be surprised if casey comes through with another dominant performance.

Vettori vs. Dolidze
Marvin Vettori, DEC
Dont know enough of Roman however I still feel as though Vetori is missing a few piece to be a true elite however I feel as though his wrestling would be able to get him the W in this fight.

Mokaev vs. Filho
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R2
Mokaev by murder anyway he wants

Wood vs. Carolina
Joanne Wood, DEC
Would like Luana to win just based off how brutal that knockout in front of the london crowd was but this is life and Joanne wood is not a good bounce back.

Honestly if it was 5 rounds that better for Gaethje, ik Fiziev got the finish in the 3rd round Vs Riddell and 4th Vs RDA but once it was a war like the Bobby Green fight he gassed out and almost 10-8'ed in round 3, with it only being 3 tho I have to go with fiziev (I'd probably still go fiziev to finish him but id be less confident)
