Let’s get into it 😈
Edwards wins and we get to see him carry and defend it at least twice. Usman seems like a dude that won’t recover from that loss
I've got Duncan over Morales. Morales has the meaningful UFC experience, but he's 37 and coming off two losses via second finishes.
Can you fixed 38.04 please
Comparing back catchers to cage fighters 😂
When will one of these "the future" fighters get the shit kicked out of themselves first and it'll finally be safe to re-nickname them to "the past"
I have a feeling that Kamaru will lose.
39:06 💀
Leon got this one easy. No sweat on this bet
Shore might have disappointed against Ricky Simon, but I don't expect the same Saturday. I've got him over Amirkhani.
Damn I thought Canadians were nice. Y’all rippping utah
Usman, Gaethje, Vettori, Carolina.
Book 'em. (20-7 in '23)
Mokaev needs shoulder surgery but is fighting through it…
In my mind, Vettori / Dolidze is nearly a pick'em. Vettori's win over Holland hasn't aged that well, and his won over Costa doesn't even count to me. Costa is not a real fighter. He's a sell out who didn't give any effort against Adesanya. Bribe? THat's my thought. Dolidze is very tough, but ever so slightly, I like the durable Vettori just barely.
I really like Maia's level of competition, but I'll go with the younger O'Neil.
Kamaru
Omar Morales all day
LETS GO Gabriel Santos!!!
Fiziev vs Alex White, he's got the Thai clinch knee advantage here. Huge physicality advantage for Fiziev in the clinch.
Gaethje trying uppercuts during this will just make it easier to pull his neck down, which Charles wasn't focused enough on.
Great breakdown again lads Main event and Co-main event are going to be amazing!
I can't side against Onx Labs – My heart tells me Gaethje despite being an underdog, he is one tough dude and I am going to be curious to see how Fiziev can handle his endurance and crazy kill shots like that left uppercut! Going to be an amazing fight nonetheless, I don't see either guy quiting or getting dropped until the 3rd round.
Nelson over Barberena. But the odds make betting unlikely.
So far in his career, Gaethje has only lost to elite fighters. Is Fiziev elite? This is certainly the fight that will test that. I'm going with the big underdog Gaethje.
I've got Usman in the main event.
I lost it @1:09:13
Usman – Gaethje parlay?
When they say "look at the tapology votes" where are they seeing those numbers?
Vettori vs Dolidze is FOTN for sure
It is going to be a day of dogs on the main card
This 10 cent parlay of mine will run me 5k, this card buh buh bangs
Your production value consistently goes up. I hope you guys are seeing the success you deserve on the back end.
Came for the picks. Stayed for the Staind reference!
Hadley came out with the wigger look at faceoffs. Gordon will surprise everyone again.
Are you having fight night companion?? Haven't been able to find you on fight companion on the last few events
Does Matt ever do an underdog? Don't need to watch his picks… just do all the favourites 😂
Good show once again boys! Come on Matt, Javier Baez never had a hitch in his swing, unless it was developed after he left us. he's always just been prone to striking out because he can't lay off pitches in the dirt. Jason Heyward has a hitch in his swing..
It's hard to pick against these fighters like Wood or Murphy when you know they'll get the hometown rub.
Anyone else scratching their head at the fight pick graphic showing "MILLER" in the Jojo/Carolina fight pick section lmao
good job girls
Hadley KO/SUB
Miller KO/SUB
Leroy Duncan KO
Chris Duncan KO
Lerone Murphy to win
Sam Patterson to win
Jack Shore to win
50/1
That future reference was hilarious
Who are these punks???
Usman can't rely on "control time "to grind out a decision to Regain the Belt: that's not going to work, based on the previous outcome, & being the Challenger in a Road game: Edwards had "0" marks on his face; he has to punish Leon, via heavy strikes to
get a KO, with or w/ o Ground & Pound or a Submission; Usman has "0" subs in his
career, Edwards 1; It's a risk, but he'll have to be aggressive, and on paper he has KO Power; The problem is w/ o the "Altitude Advantage", Edwards is going to sharper, harder to hit & take down, and likely to piece Usman up w/ strikes & kicks; Usman will
have to do the same & chop Rocky's leg to execute his plan; The method of Finish could be surprising; Usman by KO, or Edwards by Sub; It won't go the Distance, and my PICK is Edwards to finish Usman in 3.
You guys couldn't suck more. If you pick a fighter, they win, and they are a -140 or better favorite on BetMGM, Caesars, AND fanduel, just ignore the pick. With what you have left, you should be above 50% accuracy. You guys certainly are not. For instance, my picks last week that would've counted are Leon Edwards, Fiziev, Maia, Chris Duncan, Ashmov, and Juliana Miller. I was 3-2 on my picks.
