Sedecology Questionaire
NEED TYPING HELP
What do you study or do for a living? How did you come to do that? What do you like or dislike about it?
- Gonna head into Phystical Therapy school soon. I got interested in it because I personally injured myself and went through the process of healing through PT. I also enjoy anatomy and exercise a lot and it meshes pretty well with that. I like a lot of things about it, the only thing I dislike though, is how as a PT you have to keep your mouth shut when a patient angers you by annoying you or saying something heavily immoral
What else do you do on a daily basis? What are your interests and hobbies? Why do you do them?
- I just be chilling. I lift weights everyday and box. I also spend a lot of time in my room watching Netflix and I watch Basketball with my homies. I occasionally go outside and ride my longboard and draw. I like having an active lifestyle. Lifting and boxing are also good routines that ground me and center me in the moment. I also want to get tougher and stronger which is what boxing and lifting help with
What are your values, and why?
- Mental peace for sure. I don’t like when too much mental turmoil goes on. I also believe honesty, courage, doing the right thing, and kindness are extremely important. No one grows from staying in their comfort zone and courage is the first step to growth. Honesty and doing the right thing are important because you’re just a pussy if you can’t find yourself doing these. Kindness is also important because everyone deserves to be treated equally
Describe your relationships with family and friends. What do you like and dislike about them?
- With my family I’m seen as the relaxed, carefree youngest son who does his own thing. But being the youngest son also puts a big burden on me that I don’t reveal with anyone. I feel as if my parents financially supporting me cuts them off from their dreams. My father specifically wants to retire but knows he can’t because of me which makes me feel pretty guilty. But I love my family nonetheless. My relationship with my friends is that I can be the real goofy guy that always has something funny to say. They also see me as tough and relaxed though, because of my hobbies. I don’t feel like I have any toughness that they don’t have however
What do you look for in friends? In romantic relationships?
- I guess I just look for people who make me feel comfortable and that I can have a good time with. Idk I don’t really go looking for friends tbh, if things happen and I’m your friend then I’ll be your friend. In romantic relationships I’m pretty attracted to confident women who share the same hobbies and values as me. But again, I’m open to whatever. The most important thing in a girl is values to me
What conflicts have you encountered recently with other people? Why did they happen? Which kinds seem to happen on a regular basis?
- I don’t really think I get into conflicts that often but if I had to say something it would be whenever someone tries to get me to do something while I’m just relaxing. I get visibly irritated and tell them to bug off. Whenever my dad barges into my room and tells me to research something I usually tell him to piss off. Another thing I can think of is when my roommates leave a shared area gross and messy. I’m oftentimes the guy to yell at them to clean up after themselves. Idgaf if you’re messy, I’m messy asf too, but don’t let it get into an area we all share
What are your strengths? What do people like about you? What do you like about yourself?
- When I set my mind to something I know I can get it done. My base state is to be relaxed however. People normally like my carefree attitude I bring to the atmosphere. I would say I like my courage and how much I’ve grown over time
What are your weaknesses? What criticism do you often face from others? What do you dislike about yourself?
- I guess maybe being too relaxed? I also do inappropriate things in public because Idrc about what other people say. This oftentimes can embarrass my friends lol. I can’t really think of anything I dislike about myself that much. I’m pretty satisfied where I’m at, but I’m not perfect ofc
In what areas of life can you manage well on your own? In what areas of your life would you like help?
- I’m not an anxious person so I’m confident in challenges. I would also say I’m pretty empathetic and make good connections. I would like help in logical consistency however. I feel like oftentimes I act on a whim and it’s something I could work on fs
What things do you dislike doing? What things do you enjoy more than others?
- I dislike doing monotonous work where I can’t be myself. If I had to sit a desk job I’d not be happy at all. I enjoy relaxation and physical activity. I also like art a lot too and am pretty good at expressing myself through drawings
What goals, aspirations, or plans do you have for the future, and why?
- Nothing crazy really. I just want a stable income and a family I can protect. I want to be a pillar of strength and stability for my future children and wife
What kinds of things do you do to manage and/or beautify your environment (your room, your house, etc.)?
- I like color coordinating things and I’ve slightly decorated my room. I have my boxing gloves hanging on my wall, I have pictures of me and my homies, and a TPAB vinyl album on my wall
How do you behave around strangers?
- Calmly and in a friendly enough manner. Not too loud not too quiet
How do you react to conflict? What do you do if somebody insults or attacks you?
- I feel like I’m decently assertive. I’ll be able to tell someone off if they insult me fs. But I wouldn’t really say I get offended that easy either. If someone physically attacks me I’m fighting back ofc. I don’t like to be in conflict though, I’d much rather just be harmonious
Would you ever be interested in starting a business? Why or why not? What role would you play in it? What kind of business would it be?
- Nah not really, sounds like too much work
How do you dress or manage your appearance?
- Dress in baggy clothes in a more urban style. I usually like clothes that make me look bigger. I color coordinate my clothes and I pretty much always wear white sneaks. Blazers or air forces
Do you like kids? Why or why not?
- Yeah they’re adorable and innocent. Same way I feel about animals (except centipedes, FUCK centipedes). I wanna take care of kids of my own eventually and be a loving father
In what situations or times in your life did you feel most fulfilled, and why?
- I feel most fulfilled when I’m at the gym or just enjoying myself. I also like having deep conversations with my friends from time to time, when we’re not just shooting the shit
How do you feel about attention? Do you seek it out?
- I don’t really seek it out I don’t think. But I do dress form fitting when I’m at the gym so maybe? I see that as me tryna check out my own physique and progress though, not as a way to get attention
How do you approach responsibility? What do you tend to expect of others?
- I’d say I’m not super responsible and I ca. def get better about it. But I do follow through with my promises and I expect others to do the same. Don’t let your words mean nothing, they are a binding vow
If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what approach would you take, and why?
- My main concerns would be that they don’t feel loved and that they are weak and unprepared for the world. For those reasons I want to be as loving to them as I can. A father that’s seen as a best friend. But also I wanna put them in physical activities that strengthen them and challenge them
Your friend bursts into tears. What do you do? How does it make you feel?
- First I would feel shock and a little bit of confusion. I wouldn’t know exactly what to do. I think initially I’ll be nurturing, telling them they’re alright and I’m here for them, but afterwards I would try to offer them practical advice
What is your biggest accomplishment?
- Getting bigger through the gym. I used to be a skinny kid, so feeling powerful and having confidence knowing I can do anything I set my mind too feels extremely good
What was (or is) your high school experience like?
- I was pretty shy back in highschool. I had a small friend group that I grew up with but I felt out of place in physical environments. Whenever we played a sport, I felt pretty awkward. I also did not know how to talk to girls, or anyone for that matter, and got pretty nervous in conversations. However I’d say I’m not like this now and changed quite a bit through time. I really don’t relate with any of these qualities anymore
Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it.
- Yeah occasionally, I feel like everyone does. Oftentimes it’s when I have an uncertain future, I use something to put off my decision and get irritated whenever people ask about that future. In those moments I get short in conversation and leave the room
What is something you regret?
- No regrets mane, that’s how we live life. But if I HAD to pick… hmmm… there was one girl who I spent too much time on and now I’m confident I’ll never make that mistake again
Who do you admire, and why?
- My mother and father. My ma’s tough and she’s been through so much but she keeps moving forward. I respect her so much for that. My pa’s extremely intelligent and has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, something I could never relate to. He also always puts on a smile and is too loving. I wanna protect them both if it’s the last thing I do
What's been on your mind? Has anything been worrying or concerning you? What problems have you encountered lately?
- Getting into PT school. It’s been on my mind. I’m taking it day by day but there’s a part of me that’s kinda worried because I haven’t moved in yet or nun
What kind of work environment do you prefer? What do you look for in a job?
- A laidback environment that allows me to be myself and move at my own pace
What is or was your favorite school subject and why?
- Anatomy and Phys. I love learning about the body and how the moments are so similar to that of a machine with pulleys on it. It’s just so cool and practical too
What is one common misconception that people have about life? Explain why it is wrong.
- People work too hard and take no time to chill. I think life is too short to not enjoy the moment. You also shouldn’t compromise your morals to get to the top. A lot of people do shitty things to benefit themselves and that’s fucked up
Where did you go on your most recent vacation? What did you do there? How did you like it and why?
- Austin Texas. A ton of fun seeing family and doing various activities that I’ve never done in my life. The weather was amazing too
Talk about a significant event from your life.
- Injuring my bicep. I couldn’t lift anymore and the frustration I felt was real. I snapped at everyone and was living in constant fear that I would never get better. The injury kept replaying in my head over and over. Eventually I worked through the injury and now I’m stronger than ever, both mentally and physically. It’s also what got me into PT. Truly a turning point in my life and I have no regrets about it, because of how much I learned
How do you see other people as a whole?
- They cool man. They just living their lives. People can be good or bad, but I never understood people that stereotype people. I know people that are lowkey racist and I don’t get it. I have a friend who constantly asks me “what do you think about x people” and I’ll constantly say I have no opinion, because I genuinely don’t see people as groups
What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one.
- Shamelessness for the bag nowadays. OF models and dudes beating their shit to that annoy me. It’s hurting society and is not something that children should be aware of. As we move forward with this we are losing our morality. I also absolutely HATE the US and how we’re funding multiple genocides. Free Palestine, Free Congo, Free Sudan, Free the Uyghurs, Free Kurdistan, free them all, they have a right to live and a right to freedom. Fuck greed, fuck the US, UK, and Israel
What do you do if you're not getting what you want? What approach do you use?
- I make my needs known. I’m usually direct and tell people what’s up, but because of chillness it may take me a bit to get here
Are you comfortable taking leadership roles? In what areas? Why or why not?
- Not really. But if no one else steps up to the plate then I will. Most positions in which I’m a leader is when I’m convincing others to do something fun. Or when I know how to get to a place and others don’t
How often do you get angry? What kinds of things make you angry?
- I’d say I get at least irritated every day. I use anger as fuel for the gym. Things that make me angry and people trying to control what I do or push me away from my routine. Despite my mostly pleasant nature I can get quite snappy
What is one unusual trait or ability you possess? What makes you special?
- Idk I guess I’m pretty strong willed when I want to be? Idk if it makes me special but it’s something I’m proud of
What is your sense of humor like? Do you joke around a lot?
- I’m very gregarious and humorous. I joke around all the time. My humor is usually random and playful. Like a dog doing goofy shit. When I’m with my homies I’m constantly laughing
What were you like as a child? How have you changed since then?
- Different phases. Quiet, distracted, and violent in elementary school. Oftentimes getting into physical fights with classmates just because I could. Shyer in Middle school. Not really knowing how the social system worked I became friends with the stoners but then realized they were kinda shitty people. In Highschool I got pretty shy but I still had my gang of boys I enjoyed my time with. I’m much more confident, gregarious, and peaceful now. I feel as if I’m gentle but still direct. My hobbies also ground me now and make me feel whole
What is the best thing that happened to you during the past week?
- Had a great time at Karaoke and the day after me and my homies explored the city and just had a ton of fun
What is the purpose of life? What do you find personally meaningful in life?
- The purpose of life is to find a balance between worldly pleasures and pleasing God. You must be in the moment and appreciate everything you have in front of you. It’s fine if you slip up from time to time but always turn to God whenever you can
What is the most interesting place you have been, and why?
- Hard to say. I loved the UK when I was there. I also love Chicago and Austin. I honestly can’t pick one. Mecca was amazing too from a spiritual perspective. Any place that puts me at peace, where I can enjoy the moment is my favorite

UFC Vegas 91 (PREVIOUS CARD)
Staked: 8.5u
Profit/Loss: -0.29u
Parlay Suggestions: 2-3
Definitely not my best work there, but a testament to why hedging is an important tool to utilise when possible because it bailed me out of some bad bets. Thanks to those early moves, I managed to reduce my losses a lot more, so I’m happy with the overall results despite actually getting most of my bets wrong here. Onama’s ability to hit that reversal from back control was ridiculous, and if Pearce addressed that I think he would have been just fine. Guskov was a nice hit. Nicolau getting flatlined was not.

UFC 301
We really were spoiled by UFC 299 and UFC 300, because this PPV looks anaemic in comparison. I guess it’s mainly because those events used up some of Brazil’s biggest names (Pereira, Figgy, Moicano, Andrade, Jailton, Marina, Lopes, Burns), and these kinds of cards are always Brazil vs the World (my favourite kind of style of card). I’m still looking forward to it compared to the typical Apex garbage though=, so no complaints from me!
It didn’t take long to realise that this card has been curated to be very Brazilian friendly. I am absolutely not one of these conspiracy theorists who thinks the UFC is rigged, but I think it’s very important when betting to ask yourself WHY this fight was booked (especially for PPVs). The UFC’s business model runs off creating stars and generating hype (the existence of DWCS proves this), so these kind of cards are the perfect opportunity to do that. The matchmakers are literally paid to make decisions on who fights who, so none of this stuff is accidental. If you’re familiar with my history as an MMA Trader, you’ll know that thinking about public perception is where my skills lie, so I’m always excited for PPVs because there’s extra narrative in a lot of the fights.
Let’s get into it!
Alexandre Pantoja v Steve Erceg
This is a very weird main event. The Flyweight division is starting to fade again, as its top 15 is littered with fighters who have either shown their ceiling is below championship quality, or guys who aren’t active enough to be given title shots. Erceg has managed to bag himself a title shot from 11th in the rankings, despite having only three fights in the company. Aside from fighters coming into the organisation with a strong reputation in combat sports, or women’s divisions, I can’t think of a fighter who has made their way to a title shot quicker than Erceg has in recent years.
Historically, I bet on Pantoja against most opponents because I’ve always been convinced he’s been championship calibre, and has multiple paths to victory every time. I have tried to fade Erceg mostly due to the rapid stepping up in competition, but I also bet him against Costa.
I know there’s a bit of a theme with me being non-committal towards betting on title fights (except Pereira last event, hehe), but I think this is probably an acceptable fight to shrug my shoulders at – purely because of the unknowns regarding Erceg. I don’t really think you can look at his performance against Alessandro Costa or David Dvorak and come away with any conclusion regarding his chances against Pantoja. I guess you could take something from the opening five minutes against Schnell…but that’s still not a great comparison because Schnell’s biggest weakness is still Pantoja’s biggest strength (chin/durability)?
On the flipside, what we do know about Erceg is that some of his best strengths are actually in the areas that Pantoja looks to exploit. The Brazilian is one of the most durable fighters in MMA history, having never been finished in 32 professional bouts – 14 of which took place in the UFC. He weaponizes that by pushing a pace and creating chaos that he knows he can be the more durable fighter in. Aside from that, he’s also got an elite submission game, and his grappling is top notch. His striking certainly isn’t bad either.
But, as I said, that doesn’t sound as much of a nightmare for Erceg as it does for a lot of other guys. Steve’s done most of his work in the UFC on the feet, where he has shown some very impressive durability (and on the regional scene). People also therefore forget that he’s primarily a grappler also, having six submissions on his record. Of course I expect him to be inferior to Pantoja in both areas, but I don’t see him getting steamrolled like Perez, Royval (1) or Schnell did.
So whilst there are still a hell of a lot of unknowns about Erceg, what we do know is enough to predict that this is unlikely to be Pantoja’s most dominant win. If the Brazilian can’t get finishes against an opponent, he has to rely on his minute winning ability. Whilst those are still very good skills (and enough to get the better of Brandon Moreno!), it’s definitely the way he can be exploited the most (a 9-5 record in fights that go the distance, to quantify that belief).
So in short, despite not having much confidence in my line here, I have to grade Pantoja as less of a favourite than the books currently do, but a favourite nonetheless. Erceg’s ceiling is still unknown, but logic would dictate that this is too much too soon. It’s therefore no bet from me on the moneyline, but my belief in Erceg’s durability will obviously lead me to consider the overs in this fight. Not too sure what I expect to see here but if the FGTD is plus money then I’ll probably get involved somehow. Keep an eye on the bet list at the bottom of the post to see what/if I bet.
How I line this fight: Alexandre Pantoja -188 (65%), Steve Erceg +188 (35%)
Bet or pass: I may look at the overs, but the ML is a pass
Prop leans: None
Jonathan Martinez v Jose Aldo
Second fight, second non-committal stance, I’m afraid. I know this one is around a pick’em, and I know it’s super interesting…but do any of you train with Jose Aldo or know him personally? If not, I don’t think any of us have even the slightest clue how he’s going to look in the cage after almost two years on the sidelines. Yes, he’s been boxing, which gives some positive signs that he’s still keeping in some sort of shape – but he drew with Jeremy Stephens and beat two guys with combined pro records of 0-9-1. Hardly enough to believe he’ll be as sharp as when he was an active UFC fighter.
Jonathan Martinez on the other hand is eight years younger than Jose Aldo, and in his athletic/career prime. He’s currently riding a six-fight winning streak that includes wins over Said Nurmagomedov and Adrian Yanez. He’s a very well-rounded fighter that uses leg kicks to great effect, as is typical from a Factory X homegrown talent. He’s also been criminally underrated in these last few years after the shock loss to Davey Grant. Dude was -105 against Zviad Lazishvili (who even is that?), and both of the aforementioned wins.
Unfortunately for Martinez, Aldo is not going to lose out to the leg kicking game, instead he may be the one landing the significant leg strikes there. That kind of takes away one of Martinez’s most reliable weapons, which makes this one even more interesting.
Other than that, I genuinely don’t know what more to say. Logic and history tells us that the younger and more conditioned Martinez should win here, but if Aldo manages to find a special Brazilian doctor of some sort, or if he just ends up being fortunate that father time is generous to him, then the Jose Aldo we know and love should confidently beat Jonathan Martinez.
Who wins this fight? I have no idea. Neither do you. That’s why it’s a pick’em. Don’t think about it anymore than that. Just pass and enjoy watching the questions get answered inside the cage.
How I line this fight: No idea.
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None
Paul Craig v Caio Borralho
Hell yeah, I love it when we get fights like this. Guys I rate very highly and always look to bet, vs guys I think are massively overrated and always look to fade. In case it wasn’t obvious, Craig is the fade and Borralho is the prospect.
I have a lot of love and respect for Paul Craig. He’s long been one of the most successful and inspiring UK fighters – and his fights at various UFC Londons have often been the highlight of the entire events. Also, the man has an exquisite music taste - his walkout song choices always result in me finding new bands and albums to listen to. Thanks for that Paul!
But in terms of in-cage ability…he’s as one dimensional as it gets. His style is pretty much identical to Royce Gracie in the earliest UFC days. He has an elite submission game, but everything else in his skillset is hugely inferior, which will always limit him. Statistically, I rate all of his skills at a 3, but his pure submission game as a 9.
It’s been really fun to see the UFC booking Craig in fights that allow him to show his best work (as opposed to the Volkan Oezdemir fight, which was painful to watch), but MMA is much more complex than sheer submission ability. Against Muniz he was victorious because he was actually the superior striker, and also had the superior cardio that night…but the fight against Brendan Allen showed those limitations again. Going back to those aforementioned skillset rankings, Craig was inferior in every area of MMA, but he was matched or even trumped by Allen’s BJJ too. In short, I knew that Craig had no consistent way of winning that fight, and needed a high variance Hail Mary. I bet Allen quite confidently there.
And that conclusion is the exact same one I come to here. Caio Borralho is actually a severely underrated wrestler, and that is what makes him so great. I have no doubt that his wrestling is superior to Craig’s, which will result in more top control time for the Brazilian. Of course, Caio is an elite BJJ fighter himself, so like Allen and Muniz before him, I’m not worried about Craig’s offence from guard.
So the only other ways I see Craig winning this fight are the same as the Muniz fight, via superior striking or cardio. Right off the bat, I don’t think Craig’s a better striker than Caio (though it’s competitive enough), and the aforementioned wrestling success should stop that from being the story of the fight if Caio approaches the fight intelligently…but the cardio dynamic could be one to be wary of. I personally think the complaints about Caio’s cardio are vastly overdone – he’s won the third round on 11 of the 12 scorecards that has been submitted in his UFC career (if we ignore the point deduction against Omargadzhiev).
Therefore, that leads me to conclude that I think this is a well-booked fight by the UFC, who want to bolster the record and popularity of one of their most interesting Brazilian prospects and get a big win for the home crowd. Craig will give Caio the fight he wants, and he will likely lose in doing so. Caio should win this fight at least 80% of the time, I think…which gives me about 6-7% of value on the -275 price tag I pounced on. As expected, that’s long gone now. That’s a 5u bet for me.
How I line this fight: Paul Craig +400 (20%), Caio Borralho -400 (80%)
Bet or pass: 5u Caio Borralho to Win (-275)
Prop leans: Caio could win this fight in any of the three ways tbh.
Anthony Smith v Vitor Petrino
The UFC reward Anthony Smith for his years of warrior spirit, company-first mentality, and his contributions on the UFC analyst bench…with a fight against one of the LHW division’s scariest upcoming prospects. How generous of them. Nonetheless, Smith is still talking crazy in interviews saying he’s close to a title shot with a win here, lol.
Vitor Petrino had one of those questionable records coming into the UFC. People have tried to fade him with Anton Turkalj, Marcin Prachnio, Modestas Bukauskas, and most recently Tyson Pedro. I understood the Modestas one, but the others were ridiculous. I bet Petrino at -250 against Pedro, and I think he definitely justified the price tag there.
Petrino is just so physically imposing. Whether he’s using his wrestling or striking, it just always feels like his opponents are tentative that Petrino’s about to do something explosive and dangerous. It’s been quite impressive seeing him show off his wrestling ability, as most believed him to be a pure striker that would struggle on the ground.
Anthony Smith is a very interesting litmus test for any aspiring top 15’er though, because despite the fact that Smith is very shopworn and clearly a bit mentally muddled (the “you attacked my family” thing against Walker was terrifying and really should not have been glossed over IMO), he is still a very well-rounded martial artist that is respectably skilled everywhere. He can be outgrappled by a safe guard-chilling gameplan, or just by generally being a more powerful striker though, as seen in his multitude of losses in recent years to the likes of Rountree, Walker, Ankalaev, Rakic, and Teixeira.
Those are two routes that Petrino can take, because we’ve already seen him follow those paths on multiple occasions. Whilst that’s clearly enough to deem him the favourite against a clearly declining Smith, this is enough of a step up in competition that I’m not convinced enough by Petrino to get on board with the idea of him being -400. Yes he probably goes and starches Lionheart, but if the finish doesn’t present itself easily then I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see this one turn more competitive than that line indicates. Therefore, -200 to -250 sounds like an appropriate price to me, so it’s no bet.
How I line this fight: Anthony Smith +250 (29%), Vitor Petrino -250 (71%)
Bet or pass: Pass

Michel Pereira v Ihor Potieria
This is a pretty simple one to break down. Doesn’t surprise me that it kicks off the main card. This fight makes absolutely no sense from a ranking perspective, but it makes all the sense in the world from a narrative and promotional perspective.
Michel Pereira is one of the hardest non-Heavyweight hitters in the UFC. Ihor Potieria is a bang average fighter that is basically being used as a litmus test for a lot of unproven prospects. He’s a very beatable fighter and the perfect sacrificial lamb to get you an easy UFC win on your record. He was originally scheduled to face Shara Bullet Magomedov, who is definitely flavour of the month. Hell, they even tried to use him as a softball for 40 year old Shogun Rua last year!
Potieria’s recent upset win over Robert Bryczek does demonstrate that he’s got SOME life in him though, but there’s a massive difference between Bryczek and Michel Pereira. Potieria isn’t overly interested in shooting for takedowns either, making this even more of a nightmare fight for him.
Another highlight reel KO for Michel Pereira is expected, and I’d be quite surprised if he didn’t get it here. Therefore, I fully expect that prop to be priced at something around the -150 mark, maybe even steeper.
Took some time for the line to come out but -400 sounds about right in my eyes. I decided to combine Pereira with Mateusz Rebecki on next week’s card. -140 for the double.
How I line this fight: Michel Pereira -450 (82%), Ihor Potieria +450 (18%)
Bet or pass: Potentially on the KO, price dependant
Prop leans: See above
Joaquim Silva v Drakkar Klose
This was the first bet I made on this card, and I placed it a couple of weeks ago when the line was much closer. I bet Drakkar Klose at -137.
I bet against Drakkar Klose when he faced Joe Solecki last time, and I’m still frustrated by how unlikely that finish was. Klose was definitely looking the inferior fighter there, but a moment of brilliance can be all it takes sometimes.
This one seems pretty cut and dry to me. Klose is a well-rounded fighter whose biggest issue had typically been his lack of finishing ability, but he’s still a very reliable fighter that will work hard for 15 minutes. He’s been in competitive fights with the likes of Beneil Dariush, Marc Diakiese, and Bobby Green in his time, and these bouts have spanned across all different realms of MMA. He’s never really done anything that will blow your hair back (aside from being on the receiving end of that amazing KO by Dariush, and the recent slam of Solecki), but I think that makes him a bit underrated. He’s 36 years old now, but he’s never been the fastest fighter, nor has he had a long and gruesome career.
Joaquim Silva has a similar level of experience, but his UFC record paints a different picture by comparison. The calibre of fighters he has lost two really does vary, but a decision loss to Vinc Pichel, as well as being finished by Ricky Glenn and Nasrat Haqparast, doesn’t really fill someone with confidence.
Silva’s most recent win came against 41-year-old Clay Guida, where he clearly lost a round and honestly could have lost the fight with a couple of adjustments. That fight was a terrible look for the -320 favourite, and to me that was a clear indication that he seems to be on the decline. Klose, by comparison, seems to be operating on a similar enough level to how he has done for most of his UFC career. Yes he has taken a step down in competition lately, but he’s performing as you would expect him to.
Statistically, Silva has a negative strike differential, and most of the key metrics are inferior to Klose as well. There’s every chance that this one turns into a barn burner, which would definitely suit the more dangerous Brazilian...but I fully expect Drakkar Klose to put on a typical 15 minute performance, where he settles down into his pace, and mixes in his superior striking and wrestling to coherently win rounds. It probably won’t be the most entertaining fight we’ve ever seen, but a commanding win is perfect for me. A vintage Drakkar Klose performance.
In terms of the betting line, I had Klose capped at around -200. The -137 available was a steal and I was very keen to take it, but I’d definitely be passing on this fight if I was looking at it for the first time now. Another reason why it’s important to keep track of my bet list at the bottom of each post, as I gave this out when -137 was widely available.
How I line this fight: Drakkar Klose -200 (67%), Joaquim Silva +200 (33%)
Bet or pass: 2u Drakkar Klose to Win (-137)
Prop leans: None
Alessandro Costa v Kevin Borjas
Alessandro Costa is a very flawed fighter. Good skills across the board, but the guy’s volume is so, low. I bet against him when he faced Steve Erceg, and that was most of the reason.
He faces Kevin Borjas, who we don’t know much about other than he isn’t as good of a striker than Joshua Van…which doesn’t tell us much at all. He did win a round in that fight, but that’s because Van is a bit of a slow starter and will take some time to get going.
I didn’t do tape on this one because I’m still kind of unsure about Borjas, and the betting line kind of reflects that the books don’t either. He’s a non-committal underdog at +110, where the books think he’s inferior but they don’t believe it with any degree of confidence. That sounds about right to me.
I just hope Costa wins this one so I might get another opportunity to fade him in the future.
How I line this fight: I didn’t tape but it looks about right to me.
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None
Dione Barbosa v Ernesta Kareckaite
I lost money on Kareckaite’s DWCS fight, in what was brilliant demonstration of why you really shouldn’t bother betting or researching that show. Ernesta basically followed the blueprint I thought Judice was going to use, almost like I’d gotten the fighters the wrong way around. Super high variance when they’re so green.
And we’ve got more green-ness here. Both women have less than 10 professional fights. Barbosa is a -225 underdog. I’d blindly fade that if you had to bet on this fight. Otherwise I’d leave it alone. Take it as an opportunity to learn more about them for next time.
How I line this fight: Don’t know, didn’t tape
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None
Joanderson Brito v Jack Shore
Banger. This is potentially the most exciting fight on the card, as you have to really high skilled grapplers facing off against one another.
I am convinced that Joanderson Brito is quite overrated. He’s so explosive and dangerous, that it actually makes up for some pretty significant flaws. He’s an awful minute winner, and any opponent that is able to stay safe against him is likely going to win on the scorecards. He has bulldozed three opponents in R1, shown a moment of brilliance against Jonathan Pearce, and been out-hustled by Bill Algeo. That shows a 4-1 UFC record, but all I see is a guy who has actually lost more minutes in the UFC cage than he’s won. I think he’s also getting second hand hype because he beat Diego Lopes on DWCS, and that guy is possibly the most exciting prospect in the UFC right now.
So can Jack Shore stay safe here? Well he’s definitely got the grappling to give it a good go. Just like Jonathan Pearce before him, Shore can use his intense wrestling to stay safe from Brito’s striking. Shore also has good BJJ, which makes me feel confident he can avoid Brito’s opportunistic but ultimately low percentage submission from bottom – at least better than Pearce did.
Obviously the striking is where Brito has a big advantage, and his dangerousness will certainly show itself there in the early goings. Shore hasn’t really fought any dangerous strikers in his UFC tenure so far, so it’s kind of hard to say how well he will fare in those striking moments.
This is one of those fights where breaking down the betting line from a probability perspective just results in an uncomfortable feeling, however you spin it. Brito has more ways to win and is somewhat of a fan favourite, so I can understand why he has the minus next to his number. However, I can really easily see the path to victory for Jack Shore, and I don’t think it’s crazy to say he could go out there and look like a -300 favourite. But then if I think about making Shore the favourite I’m immediately thinking about how dangerous Brito is and how he could easily look -300 as well! It’s a mind fuck.
At the end of the day, the line is relatively close at the moment. Shore sits around +125 which, given he hasn’t fought for a year and is going up against the flavour of the month, I guess I’m okay with. If Shore moves to +140 or better, I think I’ll have to play him. I think he could easily do what Jonathan Pearce or Bill Algeo did. Brito is a boogeyman who is half the fighter he’s hyped up to be if he can’t find a finish.
How I line this fight: Joanderson Brito -110 (52%), Jack Shore +110 (48%)
Bet or pass: Pass, for now
Prop leans: Brito ITD probably the best looking prop available, Jack has too many paths
Elves Brener v Myktkbek Orolbai
Man, what does Elves Brener have to do to catch a break!? Dude steps into the UFC (possibly on short notice?) and gets a win as a massive underdog against Tukhugov, then pulls off another upset against Guram Kutateladze. His opponent pulls out of his third fight and they give him a guy with a 15-1 record. Now he’s 3-0 and you’d finally think they start to give him the chance to build up some hype…but then they go and book him against Myktkbek Orolbai!
For those who haven’t seen Orolbai’s debut against Uros Medic last year, it was definitely one of the best debuts of 2023. He stuck to the Serbian like glue and, despite some persistent get ups, managed to find the submission relatively easily in what was a dominant performance.
Unfortunately, that fight was so one-sided that we don’t really know anything else about Orolbai at this level, as his other recent bouts took place on LFA against guys with 18-14 and 10-7 records.
With no further relevant info, there are too many gaps to form an opinion on Orolbai. What I will say is that Elves Brener has continued to play spoiler so far in his UFC career and continues to be underrated by the books despite that. Does he deserve to be around +200 here? Only if Orolbai is the real deal.
We will get our answers, but there’s no reason to put money on this fight. Anyone who does is putting blind faith in nine minutes of dominance against a Serbian on the mat…or they’re just chatting shit.
How I line this fight: Impossible to say
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None
Jean Silva v William Gomis
On the subject of underrated fighters, William Gomis features in our next bout. The Frenchman has a very underrated style, one that isn’t going to grab all the highlights or get him clamouring for a main event, but it’s still a very useful one inside the cage. He’s well-rounded, has great kicks to compliment a very technical striking style that goes well with his long frame. I was made first aware of Gomis when he dismantled the overhyped Cage Warriors prospect Tobias Harila. He was calm amongst the chaos, and put in a really professional performance that likely got the ball rolling to eventually earn him a UFC contract. The experience from that fight will serve him well here.
He faces Jean Silva, a very explosive Brazilian that trains with Caio Borralho’s Fighting Nerds. We saw him most recently when he obliterated the vastly inferior Westin Wilson – God knows how that kid got asked to come to the UFC. And they’re giving him a third fight. Really is an embarrassing company at this point.
Before that we saw Silva go 15 minutes on DWCS, and his style looks a lot less impressive when he can’t find a finish. There wasn’t much investment in striking fundamentals, everything was a big action with fight ending intentions. That’s all good when you’re fighting Westin Wilson who blocks punches with his face, but what about when you’re facing a talented kickboxer who prioritises defence and range management? I could very easily see Silva hitting air for 15 minutes.
So I think the line is the wrong way around here, and that William Gomis has the potential to win this one quite comfortable if he can play the matador game. Whilst that sounds like I am gearing up to bet him, I’m actually going to pass on this one currently. He’s only at +110 so it’s not like he’s at a clear underdog price, and considering he’s not the explosive fighter that’s going to be chasing the finish and doing the damage, I think he’s got more of a job to do to impress the judges. Furthermore, we are obviously in Brazil where I think the crowd can certainly emphasise the work that Silva does, which may twist the judges’ arm a bit more.
So there’s value on Gomis, but not enough to warrant a bet. It’s a reluctant pass for me. If there’s major line movement I might play Gomis at like +150, but I doubt it goes that far.
How I line this fight: Jean Silva +120 (46%), William Gomis -120 (54%)
Bet or pass: Pass, unless the line moves.
Prop leans: None
Karolina Kowalkiewicz v Iasmin Lucindo
If Craig v Borralho was a nice gift for me as a bettor, this is possibly my worst nightmare. I’m probably one of KK’s biggest fans, and Iasmin Lucindo is a prospect I am very high on. I bet on these women pretty much every time I can, and I think I’ve actually won money on both Moneylines and Method of Victorys in every fight they’ve both had since I started posting here.
If you read my stuff every week, you’ll know Karolina is my girl. Genuinely my favourite fighter. But I think this is the wake-up call she and I knew was coming eventually. KK’s resurgence has been such an inspiring journey, from getting absolutely brutalised, struggling badly with her mental health, taking the time off and coming back to string together four wins on the trot. That post-fight interview against Herrig was one of my favorite interview moments in UFC history.
But, having said all that, the UFC have been really kind to her. They’ve given her competitive fights that she is capable of winning if she keeps herself together…but Diana Belbita, Vanessa Demopoulos, Silvana Gomez Suarez, and Felice Herrig are certainly a lower calibre within WMMA who have already shown us their ceiling. Iasmin Lucindo is a completely different fighter.
Lucindo is a prospect, pure and simple. She’s got great striking, and great BJJ. I said when she fought Jauregui in her debut that these two could easily meet again in the top 5 of the division in a few years time, and I think her sophomore performance against Polyana Viana showed that (I bet her quite heavily in that one). Viana’s trash and it was the perfect matchup for her, but there’s reason to believe that this one could be too.
Kowalkiewicz’s resurgence has relied on her fighting opponents that mostly want to strike, and even if not, the wrestling of these women has been at a level she could handle…I don’t expect that to be the case against Lucindo. Iasmin has an advantage in speed, and age/youthfulness as 16 years the junior. We know that plays a massive part in fights, and I expect it to here. Karolina isn’t particularly good on the mat if those takedowns, but we just haven’t seen it for some time. If Lucindo gets top time, I think she probably manouvres her way to a submission with relative ease.
Of course, this one is much more competitive if they choose to strike, as Karolina’s got the right blend of determination, volume, and technique to keep any B grade or lower striker honest over the course of three rounds. Lucindo’s not the most amazing striker I have ever seen, but I also don’t expect her to be outclassed by Kowalkiewicz either. In WMMA, if you don’t have a unique striking style such as power or suffocating pressure (which neither girl has), then there’s only so much you can really do at this level to separate yourself as the superior striker. If they fight 100 rounds on the feet, I wouldn’t expect either woman to win more than 65 of the 100 times.
So that’s the key bit of information when looking at the betting line here. I know Lucindo deserves to be a significant favourite, due to youthfulness and a style that finally doesn’t actually suite her Polish opponent…but Karolina is sound enough to easily make this one competitive. If Lucindo doesn’t show a significant urgency or even desire to shoot takedowns, or if Karolina can stuff them, then this one looks much closer to a 50/50ish fight on the feet.
Whilst that sounds like I’m leaning towards playing my girl Karolina Kowalkiewicz, I’m unfortunately not. It’s impossible to really say how much success Lucindo is going to have with her takedown attempts here, so I can’t clearly quantify how much of a favourite she could be. If she can land them with ease, she might look -500. If she can’t land them at all, she could look +100. Compared to the -300 betting line we are getting, that definitely sounds like a pass. If you’re someone who likes to bet on every fight for the fun of it, a roll of the dice on Kowalkiewicz definitely isn’t the worst idea.
However, I will be keeping an eye out for that Lucindo by Submission prop. I doubt I’d get a good line on it with her being -300, but there’s always a chance the books get caught napping because it’s WMM and they expect a decision. We’ll see, I’d probably take +200 or better.
How I line this fight: Iasmin Lucindo -200 (66%), Karolina Kowalkiewicz +200 (33%)
Bet or pass: Pass on the ML, might bet Lucindo by Submission if I get a nice price (I’m talking +225 or better)
Prop leans: See above
Mauricio Ruffy v Jamie Mullarkey
Mauricio Ruffy has won all of his professional fights via KO, and has fought quite a few cans in his day. He is the -160 favourite and is obviously very undeserving of that price tag against a guy with a decent amount of UFC experience.
Jamie Mullarkey is very unreliable, has bad fight IQ, and just generally isn’t very good. Dude lost a striking fight to Michael Johnson and got KO’d by Nasrat Haqparast – two things I thought were very hard to do in this day and age.
Pick your poison. Or don’t, and just be smart and leave this fight alone.
How I line this fight: who knows
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None
Ismael Bonfim v Vinc Pichel
Ismael Bonfim returns from what was originally a massive upset at the hands of Benoit Saint Denis last July, but thankfully for him the Frenchman’s performances since have helped that result age well, as he elevated himself to prospect status and faced Poirier.
I was sadly all aboard the Ismael Bonfim hype train, as I deemed his debut win over Terrance McKinney as arguable the debut of the year for 2023. McKinney’s actually been fraud checked a fair bit since then so that win has coincidentally aged badly on the reverse. Nonetheless, I still think this Bonfim is good and will eventually turn into a top 15 fighter (not like his brother, an overrated fraud that I faded against Nicholas fucking Dalby).
Either way, the UFC are trying to run the Ismael Bonfim hype back again by pitting him against a 40 year old Vinc Pichel, who they’re probably just looking to get off the books as he likely has a contract that pays far more than he’s worth (by the 10/10 standard, anyway). Pichel is old but not particularly shop worn due to lack of commitment to his MMA career. He’s a well-rounded guy that always seems to end up in grappling-based fights. He has been competitive with the likes of Mark Madsen, Austin Hubbard, Jim Miller and Roosevelt Roberts in recent years, which kind of paints the picture that he’s capable but limited.
I think it’s fair to assume that Ismael Bonfim really should have Pichel covered here. He’s the way more dangerous fighter, and will be the one having moments of success where he threatens to finish. Outside of some sort of massive cardio dump, I think he can either find a finish or competently win 2/3 rounds with relative ease.
He’s -400 on the betting line so the odds clearly reflect that. I definitely wouldn’t be interested in playing him at that number, seeing as he’s returning from a massive setback and may not be the same as he once was. I could see him winning via all three potential methods of victory, so I’m not really sure a bet is possible here.
How I line this fight: Ismael Bonfim -400 (80%), Vinc Pichel +400 (20%)
Bet or pass: Pass

San Antonio will always be the largest small town in America.
For a city our size and the fast rate that we are growing, we will always be who we are; which is a slower paced blue collar, family and military town. Outsiders criticize us and call our city boring because we don’t have the nightlife or the commercial sports market of other cities. Things in SA don’t stay open all night (especially after Covid) and it doesn’t seem residents really have a demand for a 24 hour nightlife and restaurant scene. We are not a hip and “cool” town like Austin, Dallas, Miami, LA etc. Even as we grow and get bigger, San Antonio will always be a small city at heart. People don’t move here because we’re hip and eclectic, they mostly come here to raise a family. Think about it, we have a lot of people here now and traffic gets bad but after 10pm this city is like a ghost town. We also have an older population than Austin. So when folks say SA is a boring and quiet old world tourist city, we need to just accept and EMBRACE it! Last thing we need to do is become another Austin or Dallas.

- European Championship Match:
- Booker T (c) vs. DDP
After the disbandment of the Alliance at Survivor Series, two of WCW's top talents in Booker and DDP forged their own paths now as WWF employees.

On an episode of Raw, Booker defeated Christian to become the new European Champion due to some miscommunication between him and his brother Edge. While trying to get the tag team to reconcile with positivity, DDP vows to teach Booker some manners as he challenges him for the European Title at Wrestlemania.
Winner & STILL European Champion: Booker T
- The Dudley Boyz & The APA vs. The Conspiracy (Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, William Regal, & Test/Mike Awesome\*)
Since nearly costing the WWF the Survivor Series match in November, Chris Jericho forged an alliance with lifelong friend and ex-Alliance member Lance Storm as well as another pair of WWF defectors including William Regal and Test. Collectively known as The Conspiracy, they banded together feeling as though the Powers That Be kept them under contract to prevent them from competing elsewhere. When Spike Dudley expressed displeasure from their actions, he would be viciously assaulted by the newly formed faction. Despite their past differences, Bubba Ray & D-Von showcased their support for their fallen brother and look to set things right by avenging Spike. Due to the odds being stacked against them, they would be no match for the Coalition. The Dudley Boyz bring in reinforcements when the APA volunteered to lay an all out beating on Jericho and his crew. An 8 Man Tag Team Match would be announced to take place in Toronto for Wrestlemania.
Winners: The Conspiracy - Post match an all out brawl ensues until the Dudleyz & Acolytes fought back with a helping hand from Spike.
*If Awesome was not injured, I'd slot him in the new stable. Otherwise, I'll settle for Test as their muscle.
- Edge vs. Christian
Two brothers, former Tag Team Champions go one on one in their home country of Canada. Both interfered in hopes to assist each other. However, cracks began to show between Edge & Christian since blaming one another for losing the Intercontinental & European Championship belts respectively. It became even more evident when both of them eliminated each other from the Royal Rumble match. During a group therapy session, the brothers seemed to have made amends until Christian ambushed Edge from behind.
Winner: Edge
- The Outsiders vs. The Brothers of Destruction
Scott Hall & Kevin Nash alongside Hulk Hogan returned to the WWF with a resurrected nWo to inject it with a lethal dose of poison. This wouldn't sit well with the Undertaker & Kane who have been known for their loyalty to the company, willing to stop their boss VInce McMahon from destroying his creation. A tag team match is set at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Winners: The Brothers of Destruction aka Undertaker & Kane
- Women's Championship Triple Threat Match:
- Jazz (c) vs. Lita vs. Trish Stratus
Jazz made her WWF debut at Survivor Series, winning the vacated Women's Championship in a Six Way Elimination Match. As the runner up in the match, Trish pledged an oath to train harder so when she had another opportunity at the gold, she would come back swinging. Meanwhile, as a former Women's Champion, Lita expresses interest in the belt as well and feels she has lost some of her edge since losing the title. She and Trish fought one on one on Raw until Jazz ran in to stop the match. Due to a lack of a decisive finish, Vince McMahon & Ric Flair agreed to have Jazz defend her Women's Championship belt against Lita & Trish in Toronto.
Winner & NEW Women's Champion: Trish Stratus (huge title victory in her hometown, the 1st of her 7 title reigns)
- WWF Undisputed Championship Match:
- Kurt Angle (w/ Stephanie) (c) vs. Triple H
Kurt Angle spent the summer and autumn of 2001 leading the charge against the invading WCW & ECW alumni to destroy the World Wrestling Federation. Angle had been the WWF Champion since defeating Steve Austin in his hometown of Pittsburgh at Unforgiven. After the dissolution of the Alliance, the Olympic Gold Medalist continued his reign into the next phase in the company, eventually unifying the WWF & WCW World Titles by winning the 2002 Royal Rumble. These accomplishments began to feed Angle's ego as he takes full credit for being the reason why the WWF survived the war. Meanwhile, on the first Raw of 2002, Triple H made his return at Madison Square Garden from a quad injury, submitting his entry into the 30 Man Royal Rumble Match. Despite his efforts, he came up short as the runner up in which Angle barely won as he held onto the ropes for Hunter to land at ringside. Triple H lets it be known about his past beef with the Olympian, including the time Kurt and Stephanie had an affair. Since the Cerebral Assassin's return to the ring, marital problems arose once again when HHH questioned Stephanie's involvement in the Invasion. She and Hunter intended to make things right by renewing their wedding vows. However, Hunter discovers footage of Stephanie and Kurt making out in a hotel room much to his disdain. At Wrestlemania, Triple H looks to put the Olympic Hero in his place and take his rightful place as the Undisputed WWF Champion.
Winner & NEW Undisputed WWF Champion: Triple H
- WWF Tag Team Championship Match:
- Billy & Chuck (c) vs. The Hardy Boyz
Billy Gunn & Chuck Palumbo won the Tag Team Titles from Tazz & Spike Dudley at No Way Out. The makeshift duo vow to take the division by storm, going up against the pillars that put tag team wrestling on the map. Matt & Jeff won a Tag Team Turmoil Match on Raw to earn them a title opportunity set to take place in Toronto.
Winner & STILL Tag Team Champions: Billy & Chuck
- Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Ric Flair
Stone Cold disappeared from television following the Alliance's demise at Survivor Series 2001. The next night on Raw saw the return of the Nature Boy in his home state of North Carolina. Appointed by Linda McMahon as the co-owner alongside her husband Vince, they played a part in running WWF programming throughout the winter and into early spring. Flair entered the Royal Rumble at #1, recreating his 1992 performance in which he last throughout the match until a surprise appearance from Steve Austin cost him the elimination. Austin says he had to reflect on the mayhem he's caused the past year, and that the Alliance's influence as to why he was the toughest S.O.B to walk on this sport. As a man without a country, Austin says he's exiled in Hell, describing his experience to be as cold and empty. Throughout the weeks, he is seen interfering in matches, laying out superstars with a Stunner. Security would be present to escort Austin from the premises. The announcers describe him as a Texas Vigilante that does whatever he wants, even if it means trespassing WWF events as a ex-employee. Despite enduring a heinous attack, Flair tries his best to remain professional in an effort to help Stone Cold regain his love for wrestling. For that to happen, the Nature Boy lays out a challenge against Steve Austin at Wrestlemania. If he wins, Flair would reinstate him into the company. If Austin loses, he will be banned from the WWF for good. Stone Cold agrees to the term and looks to open a can of whoop ass in the Sky Dome.
Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin (A hard fought contest that Austin and Flair giving it all they got. As he prepares to leave the ring, Austin turns around contemplating on laying out Flair for good. Rather than doing so, he picks him back up to offer the Nature Boy a handshake of mutual respect, turning the Texas Rattlesnake babyface once again.)
- Icon versus Icon:
- The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan
Icon versus Icon - With Vince McMahon's mission to inject his own creation with a lethal dose of poison, the nWo would make their triumphant debut in the WWF, coinciding with the return of Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, & Kevin Nash.

The Brahma Bull issues a challenge to go one on one with the Immortal in a battle between icon and icon.
