You know, it was the right call passing on Finney. He clearly needs more time......

Matthews however will blow in the UFC. No excuses

Sucks for finny, but he showed himself in the big stage with a win. He just needs to keep grinding with his training and pick the right fights until the next time the ufc calls. He will be in the ufc for sure.

Conor Matthews is a perfect example of Dana having a soft spot for some fighters.

Torrez def needs A LOT more time but after that finish in R2, after being punished early... how can you not sign him if it's a preformance based show.

Matthews definitely had some great moments but I feel like he's not quite ready to head into the UFC. His output deteriorated significantly in the second half of the fight. I hope he proves me wrong because he was fun to watch there for a while.

DWCS Picks this Year

Predictions: 2 of 6 Winners, 0 Perfect, 115 Points   |   Tied for 525th

I was so money last year with DWCS. I went 38/49 last year with 3 perfect nights. This year is was lucky if I was 3/5 on the  night. What a fall off. In my opinion, Dana was a bit too generous with contracts this year, and it's going to heavily water down the roster with guys who will be out of the promotion in 2-3 years. There was still some bright spots, particularly with 155ers like Nolan, Al-Selwady, Kruschewsky and 135ers like Rocha, Vinicius Oliveira and Matsumoto. Also some good female talent like Knutsson, Moura and Polastri that I think will be around for a while. However the theme of this season was the guys who were supposed to win choking under the bright lights. Hardwick, Bruno Lopes, Soldatkin and Talha all had high hopes, and it would have been nice for all of them, particularly the heavier weight class guys to bolster the 205 and heavyweight division, as they tend to be lacking some talent. Anyway just my personal account, overall it was a decent year, look forward to next year.

It seems like everyone ate crap this year compared to 2022.  Not just people on Tap, but people I know or follow elsewhere - it was a down year for them as well.  Tough season.

Fun fact. A $100 six team parlay with correct ML picks from tonight would’ve cashed $11k. Four dogs, two favorites… I’m hoping someone out there did well.

@hlgh 
Lol. I just looked at your profile today. The secret is that you and that guy are just two losers with 61 and 60%. And you, like children, can justify it with anything. If you tell me that 80% for 1000 choisess to score like this It’s simple and anyone can do it, so why don’t I see anyone getting this result on the forum? not a single profile. If it’s so simple, why do you have 60%? You can only bla  bla  bla  and poke at random with a probability close to 50/50
Those who can do it, those who cannot just talk.

You can cry about bellator and other leagues, but I went to your profile, even in these leagues you barely get 70% on a good day, LOL
Let me tell you a secret. Even a child can get 60% on UFC by pointing at random. That is why 99% of the people have such numbers.



Let's end this conflict here, I answered everything to you and people like you.
