Prediction Comments

Ferguson vs. Pimblett
Ferguson, DEC
Here is my dream at the end of the year of our lord 2023. Tony Ferguson and Paddy Pimblett have a blood and guts war of a fight.  Real FOTY kind of ****.  Wholesome Dude Men stuff.  And Tony wins the decision.  And then, a moment of clarity hits his CTE traumatized brain.  "Wow, that was really tough, and Paddy sucks! He is the least talent to hype ratio'd fighter that has ever fought in the UFC.  Maybe I just don't have it in me anymore.  Maybe I should take my purse, and the 50k bonus that I deserve, and **** off with my wife and kids somewhere that isn't inside of a cage.  The avenues and networking I have done in being a weird but loveable goofball will get me and my family a happy life away from this god awful sport."   That idea hits him hard, and he retires on a win, and forever will be the best fighter to have never won a undisputed championship, with little tarnished legacy behind him.
This is my dream.

@grizzly it’s 100% deserved. That nunes performance was one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen; she didn’t even come to fight. Plus she has a track record of ****ting the bed in big fights

Giga pulled out because he tore his groin throwing a body kick and they’re video of it happening as Giga post it on his twitter,

my picks from 1 fight card that everyone did badly on are not my bets. Check out the link on my bio, and then thank me when all that hits.

Not that it would happen, but I think Yusuff or Ortega to replace Giga at a catchweight of 150 might be the play here.  But the UFC would have dig a centimeter more in their pockets to make it worthwhile.

So, not that I am defending anyone, but why did Best Bets get banned?  I didn't see any egregious tomfoolery other than talking a little smack, unless he sent someone a private message?
