This didn't go really well.
I have to be honest and put my picks/win.

Better luck next week

I couldn't make a pick cos it was difficult amongst the contenders.

I would say you even tried and your style of choosing "single" is a good idea as it helps minimise losses

Let's see how next week goes!

Wow..much more impressive. Are you involved in any of the martial arts??

Most females i know dont like me talking about and are particularly not interested when am watching fights...

I try to teach and engage them, they all run away from it...no matter how convincing i am in their need of it for life saving self defence and fitness.

I just stumbled upon the UFC and at a point I realised I could deduce the winner of some fights. And staking is having involved in these sort of sport. So I decided why not use it as an additional source of income.

So for me it's a stream of income and I try to do my research well before I pick. And I studies some heavy stakers and realise they stake heavy to win heavy and they have an area they specialise in.

E.g next UFC it's obvious Islam will win, so the next important step is to pick another fighter and stake multiple to make the win reasonable.

To me it's just an easy way to make some additional income and because I'm into business I understand risk taking.

Don't worry 302 Islam is sure.

It's just to find another solid pick to stake multiple .

Poirier might just spring a surprise against Islam (although unlikely sha)

Khabib is training Islam (after saying he willstop training). He won't lose. Those dagis are something else and they hate to lose.

Okay....i like your personality for a lady.

For the bolded....you should know that in the highest level of fighting, absolutely anything can happen..,it only takes one mistake by Islam for an old fox like pourier to finish the fight...

Just one good punch or kick to land flush on the chin or temple, and its dozing time for the Dagestani.

Islam is most likely to win by submission though.

My initial picks for winners

Islam
Lima
Dawson
Matthews
I am quite sure of the above as winners

Below are also winners but not very sure
Costa
Kevin Holland
Morono

The rest of the fights can go either way so I wouldn't make any picks

I'm also feeling there might be an upset with Costa winning, though he seems to get tired faster than strickland but he can throw some knockout punches. So I might ignore that.

I just need 3 good picks.

Islam doesn't yield any good returns because everyone already knows he'll win. Honestly if I could I wouldn't stake on him. We all want in our hears for Dustin to win but out heads knows the dagis are stronger.

What do make of the initial set of winners I picked? I believe they would win though..

Let me hear your thoughts

Islam: his team are taking the fight very serious. Khabib and Javier do not underestimate Dustin cuz we all know he's the better striker. Just that Islam is the better grappler though Islam's striking is better than khabib. But Islam is the likely winner.

Lima. He was losing the last fight and the bite was what saved his ass. Raposo has good wrestling and boxing. The only issue is he is taking the fight on short notice. I wouldn't really want to bet on this. Just maybe on the fact the fight might get into 2nd round and 3rd round

Dawson. It's going to be a wresting match, selection is also a good wrestler. Dawson is the favourite pick of most people though. Over 1.5, is what I might just play on if I decide to do anything here

Mathews: he can punch hard but his ground game isn't too strong. Rowe has decent ground gane and decent boxing. Funny enough people believe Rowe might win and this will be the upset.
Re: Official MMA Thread (UFC/PFL) by OneCandleAway(f): 6:29am On May 31
So it's been said that Costa and Islam have staph infection.

This is good news for Strickland.

For Islam I guess he'll go full wrestling mode to get the fight finished ASAP before the infection affects his cardio late in the fight. But it won't be easy, khahib will be in his corner though.
