Aunque me duela el alma, me borraré tu nombre
Aunque me duela mucho, me olvidaré de ti (me talking about gambling)…
We’re in the biggest shit hole of Latin America thanks to Colombia slipping up in the last ten years by just the slightest bit. It was a tough contest between Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Honduras, and El Salvador but we found a winner this last decade. Give it up for the narco infested, DEA funded cess pool that is Mexico City.
There’s four early winners for me: Naimov, Dos Santos, Ziam, and Chairez. Naimov - fighting shit competition. Dos Santos - looked great in his debut. Ziam - is fighting the biggest bjj bitch. Chairez - already beat this guy, fights like you owe his granny money, board shorts, leg kicks like a mule. All the odds are pretty markedly in favor of these four and I think that’s fine.
Aguilar va. Mendonca
My first upset of the night, I think Aguilar gets it done. I think that they’re going to make sure he wins and Mendonca has pretty sub optimal fight IQ. I just think that it’s going to be one of those decisions amongst these smaller fighters that plays to the crowd.
Quinonez vs. Barcelos
Quinonez thinks he’s mean and tough. I think this weekend he finds out what that actually looks like at 135. Barcelos is just a ghastly sight. He’s like Gilbert Burns and Josh Emmett rolled into a bantamweight. Orc who is just full of war. Barcelos decision.
Torres vs. Duncan
My second upset of the night here is Chris Duncan. He’s a Scot. He’s a fucking Scot. More technically put, I like betting on guys that have one shot power and can withstand tons of CTE due to their great athleticism. Duncan ML.
Rosas Jr. vs. Turcios
They yanked Turcios off the street. The kid has to win and I think he does. Rosas by submission.
Zellhuber vs. Prado
I guess Daniel Marcos isn’t a soft ass punk ass bitch? I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna go against another big favorite called Daniel. I just bet against these guys, you know the drill. Prado is like 10 inches shorter but I think he will make Daniel hurt. He’s not ready, none of those Daniel’s ever are. Prado ML.
Rodriguez vs. Ortega
Yair is so much fun to watch. His striking is arguably top five in the UFC. I think he wins this but don’t be surprise if he is tested heavily all five rounds. Hammering this but I’m prepared to go through hell and back during this fight. Rodriguez ML.
Moreno vs Royvall
I predict this could be a fight of the year nominee. There is not quit in either of these warriors and this fight is truly going to exhibit all of the elements of MMA. Show this fight to anyone who is getting into the sport because I promise it will be a slobber knocker. Royvall is incredibly technical but he lacks the pop which Brandon will bring. I think that the judges will play into the public’s hands and the W ends up under Moreno’s name. Setting up the previous champion for a rematch against Pantoja at the end of the year. I was thinking about 2024’s Christmas last June, too.
