What idiot thought we wanted to see 1 hour of commentary and 15 minutes of fights? I understand they gotta run adds to help pay the bills, but there's no reason for all of this gum flapping that's going on. I WANT VIOLENCE!

I’ve been in the shower for the past two days in hopes someone will break into my house and have sex with me. I’m more wrinkle than man at this point.

Well I hope people took my advice from earlier in the thread and planned a side activity for all the expected downtime.

Personally I am playing a finish in R2/R3 for Taira. I am also adding some additional bets with Taira submission R1/2/3

It really is the UFC's fault. They scheduled 30 minutes per fight on a card where they're heavilly stacking the deck on one side of the bracket in a lot of the fights.

I knew I shouldn't have picked Crute. I believed the "muh new training camp" meme. I am very gullible.

Did they seriously call it ‘Paxlovid’ because it rhymes with ‘Covid’?

Yup. And R3 is even better odds. Taira does not even need to get a takedown. He can swing to the back with his shot and does not even need to complete the takedown to get the back. I love his style. And he does not rush things, he secures position first then slowly works for the submission, especially as his opponent is likely to make a mistake in transition

Parlays are actually the absolute best way to make money when betting. If you know how to do it. Not trying to be smart. It's what I have found with experience.

Staying away from this one as well. Wish they would curate some of these future stars a bit faster. The O'Malley blue balls climb to the top is a bit much.

I honestly just put all my money on the fight that will make me the most money but is also the safest bet. Worked for me more than it hasn’t.

Damn Alex Pereira’s weight cutting is insane. Can’t believe he made it to Flyweight.
