It’s about being a soldier. Battle hardened to the core. Bad beats all over the place and it’s on me. Where the rest of you creators at? With the words “MMA” or “bets” in your name. We are all bleeding capital on the linoleum floor but who is still yapping? Adrenaline never leaving. Only I have stopped myself from seeing the board, nonetheless. Another roll of the dice and the hope remains untouched. It was me doing the harm. My sweetest enemy.
New Chinstrap vs. Ribeiro
I like the new chinstrap to win by TKO KO DQ for half a unit. I know. I know. Could be starting my night off with an easy L. The palm of my hand has spoken. Nobody can make the horse drink. I’m a bird though when I play the six.
Bald Chinstrap vs. Dalby
Dalby ML 1 unit because I don’t see Rinat having the wrestling or the boxing. This line seems off to me. You can’t just say Bonfim is ass now. I want to bet more but I know better. Maybe I’m just the boring husband who doesn’t smack and spit anymore? Nothing that makes the back of the head go soft. No outfit changes during the Super Bowl. What am I saying. Dalby ML 1.5 units.
Naimov vs. Lima
I don’t care how great the Brazilian regional scene is, if your first fight in the UFC is Naimov, I’m betting against you. 1.5 units on Naimov ML. He belongs as a gate keeper of the top 15 or forming a part of the top 15. Spoken.
Haqparast vs. Gordon
Awful fight but there will be a finish. I’m betting that Gordon continues to have zero game plan and gasses out early. That’s the stage in his career where I think he’s at. U2.5 rounds half a unit. Why not bet Haqparast by finish? I’m not going to answer that.
Walker vs. Oezdemir
I don’t want to bet this fight but the line is too enticing. Yes, Johnny has negative fight IQ and a questionable chin. Yes, he’s a bit insufferable. I also think he’s developed something resembling a character. Which even just a little bit of humility, grit would make Johnny a title contender. That’s what I’m betting on. 1 unit Walker ML.
Gastelum vs. Rodriguez
Half a unit on Rodriguez ML. I tossed and turned on why I felt this bet was right. Another howler perhaps. Finally made peace with it by betting less than I wanted to.
Pavlovich vs. Volkov
Lines never move against me. It’s the cost of being the red corner. Then we will completely whiff. It has to give, or maybe it won’t and it was all just games. Just nonsense on another 2 for 1 night. Pavlovich to win by finish 1 unit.
Whittaker vs. Aliskerov
When the lights shine down on Ikram, I see a glorious set of antlers halo around him. Sparkling with absolutely nothing in his eyes. Maybe I haven’t been vocal enough about him. He’s not from a favela nor from some back country town in West Virginia. He’s the chinstrap who merits orthographic respect. The name is Ikram Aliskerov. 2 units on his ML.
