Yup! that is why she was on the southpaw, just to let Shevchenko throw that spinning kicks, and it was perfect timing for Alexa Grasso to get the back of Valentina Shevchenko, I bet on stake.com you can surely get double the price because Alexa Grasso is the brand ambassador for stake.com, that is why,

Here are the Multi-Master Challenge for this Event

Alexa Grasso was practicing that exact same move to counter her patented spinning leg kick as Valentina always throws in every single match.
There was some video of her practicing this takedown before the match so she knew just how to beat her.
I placed my bet on her to outright win on a single but on another bookmaker so it was a good win and at fairly decent amount to win $250+ another $250 because of a double winnings for the result.
So these two separate losses on getting one-legged did not matter much to me in the end.

I will surely not forget about this match, and now if Ciryl Gane's going to face a wrestler I think I could not trust Gane anymore, but there aren't any know wrestlers in the heavyweight division, and surely Jon Jones will dominate this for sure, I really feel sorry for Ciryl Gane even though he trained so much his wrestling techniques he is still no match for Jon Jones that has a more superior technique in wrestling and because of the number of wrestlers in the Light Heavyweight division he indeed got plenty of experience from there, for now, Ciryl Gane would need to hone those experience he felt in losing to Jones, just like I have said Gane is a learning fighter, this is a massive experience for him for sure,

I really like Alexa Grasso in what she has accomplished I am surely proud of her, but she needs to train harder for the rematch because Shevchangko will be ready for her, and she definitely needs to invest more in her wrestling technique


Nice, you only got 2 losses, and it seems that you have got the Grasso fight aswell, congrats to you for making this much money but surely because of that losses it is a near parley win,

^^
Yes I was also going for a Gane win as both of my parlays lost because of that main event bout as you can see below:


So let's move on from here and pray that any bets made in the future are not incorrect by one leg to make it a bad bet to make.

I surely have missed a lot of great events it was a super busy 2 weeks for me I couldn't make any posts recently I was really used to posting for MMA threads than with the other sports, anyway about the main fights Just like what my gut feeling would tell me that Jon Jones could win against Ciryl Gane even though Jon Jones doesn't have much experience with the Heavyweight he is used to Light Heavyweight that has more technical fighters than the usual brawl, so it is just easy for him to leap up a division, and Ciryl Gane's usual weakness was even exposed even further and this time Gane isn't accustomed to a guillotine choke and he hasn't noticed what Jone Jones is even doing lifting Gane's chin to set up for a choke, it was really a crazy fight

While Alexa Grasso was more technical in her fight with Valentina Shevchenko and this is just the 2nd win of Grasso with a submission, it was like she is preparing to give herself a new sub-skill and that is her ground game pretty much Alexa Grasso honed herself with the striking she has a pretty much great standing that dominates Shevchenko on the feet, and Shevchenko isn't aware that Grasso can also submit her, because in paper Grasso isn't really utilizing much with submission attempts, so there was really a surprise factor in her part,


It was sad that I haven't made some bet for this event I am surely rooting for Jon Jones for this main event, but because I am busy I haven't made a quick bet for it, and with Alexa Grasso as well I was really rooting for her to win, and it feels really assuring that she will own that match for surely I have to move on forward for the next event and that was the UFC Fight Night

It was really a juicy event indeed, most of the fights ended in a submission I just got 2 wrong picks it was the Farid Basharat VS Da'Mon Blackshear fight, and sadly the Main Event the Jon Jones VS Ciryl Gane fight, and congrats if you also got the Valentina Shevchenko VS Alexa Grasso fight correctly, it was really a gambling fight for Grasso but it she win a juicy profit we would surely get, so it was really a worthy bet,

For that Gane VS Jones fight, because I was really happy about the profit over Alexa Grasso, I was not really upset when I've seen Ciryl Gane defeated, I was just frustrated about Gane not backing up what he said that he is not ready for wrestling, then where is it, it was clear that Jon Jones got into Gane's chin that led him to Guillotine him and it was really tight because Ciryl Gane have tapped immediately, that end up the fight, it was a 2 mins fight and I thought that Gane would show us a lot of things on this one all we see was utter defeat,

A very eventful UFC 285 that did not disappoint. Every fight was good and it was quite predictable in making your parlays win.
If you bet on Alexa Grasso then with that one bet you were well into profit @7.60x odds when I took her a couple of days before the event started.
Didn't mind that Gane lost he just wasn't enough of a challenge for Jones even if he was coming back from a long absent from the octagon, it didn't matter to him and he continued on devastating his opponents one after the other.
He was the only match that I had wrong on my 7 selection parlay @25.54x or it would of been an even happier night for me at the UFC.

An absolute loss for Gane and in the 1st round, I really thought that Ciryl Gane have won, there are posts on social media of Ciryl Gane having the Interim Heavyweight belt on his waist it was a real fake, then seeing the result in Topology I was really confused, well that is because I haven't paid for a PPV so I haven't watched the UFC 285 yet, But seeing that Ciryl Gane lost this means that Gane is not yet ready to be champion if he doesn't enhance his wrestling yet, but despite Gane losing to Jon Jones I was still happy because of what Alexa Grasso has accomplished and a plus for me because of my bet on her,

Here are the result of my full pick for the UFC 285

MAIN EVENT
Jon Jones VS Ciryl Gane ROUND 1 SUBMISSION - LOST

CO-MAIN EVENT
Valentina Shevchenko VS Alexa Grasso ROUND 4 SUBMISSION - WIN

MAIN CARD
Geoff Neal VS Shavkat Rakhmonov ROUND 3 SUBMISSION - WIN
Mateusz Gamrot VS Jalin Turner ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

Jessica Penne VS Tabatha Ricci ROUND 2 SUBMISSION - WIN
Farid Basharat VS Da'Mon Blackshear ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST
Loik Radzhabov VS Esteban Ribovics ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN

Both are technical strikers, usually Jon Jones would stick to the opponents fighting style but since he is moving to Heavy Weight, i doubt he will be playing games and look for a striking battle. The game plan for Jon Jones would be to take down Ciryl Gane who has zero ground game nor wrestling defense and Jon Jones will finish him on the ground and that is my expectations.

Both are technical fighters so both will surely read their opponent's movements and if the other could make a mistake the other fighter could have his advantage, but for sure because this is the Heavyweight division many will expect a Knockout but for both these fighters that would be prone to a mistake diving in for a kill will not likely the game plan for both fighters, it will be like a game of chess a wrong move could be crucial so yes going the distance could be something that could surely happen,


It doesn't look like McGregor at all, but that scene was just for the Movie Road House Jake Gyllenhaal will be in there with Jay Hieron that Jake Gyllenhaal slap to the face, well it is just part of the movie scene while I really don't know the Role of Conor McGregor in that movie and I haven't seen the trailer yet, well this goes to show that the popularity of UFC is really something, and what is next  for Conor McGregor is he going to fight inside the octagon, or he's going to pursue a new career maybe an actor now, but let's just wait if what may happen,

 

I took Gane at 2.55x and have another on an acca for under 4.5 rounds - will post after results start coming in.
So will see how this plays in approximately 5 hours from now when the early prelims kick off UFC 285.
Did anyone else notice Conor Mcgregor at the very end of the ceremonial weigh-ins? Promotions for a new movie of his:

Good luck to all on their bets and lets get some solid bets in on this major MMA event!

I love the fight to go distance here at 1.73 odds cuz i think both fighters will play less aggressive and look to score a decision win.

Good odds on gane @2.5 worth a shot   

^

Even though there is no beef between the two fighters and all undercards are surely cool with their opponents No commotion has happened it was really a clean Ceremonial Weigh-In in my opinion and it was really entertaining as I have seen the fighters I can see clearly what is going to transpire inside the octagon, for sure that would be a good war that we are going to see, seriously seeing Derek Brunson, and Dricus Du Plessis I am surely excited in seeing that and I think that Du Plessis could surely win this fight, while Cody Garbrandt and Trevin Jones fight will be so good to watch for me and just like Derek Brunson and Du Plessis fight it will be juicy for a Preliminary Card

But entering the Main Card we could see that Jamie Pickett VS Bo Nickal, Mateusz Gamrot VS Jalin Turner, and Geoff Neal VS Shavkat Rakhmonov will be the real main fight but what I am saying is I think that two Preliminary fight needs to be in the Main card, but surely as long as they are going to fight it is good for me, but as long as we get the fight it is OK with me surely Alexa Grasso is so much confident while interview by Joe Rogan and Ciryl Gane aswell I am seeing a two underdog that is just cool on doing a fight and they know that they are really ready, that is good enough for me in what ever happen with the fight,

Gane looked good during official weigh-in and confident in the press conference.
Here are the fight stats from his past matches along with a pic of him on the scale:

Hope their face-off is just as entertaining as the one earlier today during the press conference!

I have watched the Press Conference thanks to your link, well, like I have said highlighted in green are my picks which means I am going for Ciryl Gane, ever since his fight with Francis Ngannou I have bet on Ciryl Gane that time, and with this Press Conference I have noticed that Ciryl Gane have learned the English language, and he is speaking it now, instead of using an Interpreter, surely he has used it 1 time when he didn't understand the question but overall he is speaking in English when answering, for me definitely the hype is on Jon Jones return, but for me, Ciryl Gane looks faster and if he didn't anticipate wrestling on Francis Ngannou he is aware of Jon Jones would go on Takedowns, and as he said people are underestimating his wrestling so much well they are all wrong about it, I think this means Ciryl Gane can pull a Israel Adesanya kind of surprise,

Jones not fighting for the last three year and the story behind that step away from the world of the MMA was a fairly tragic one.
So if you are backing him then I would say good luck as Gane is the one who last fought Tuivasa six months ago Sept 3rd 2022 and beat him without an contest needed to decide who won that fight.

Watched this live and really enjoyed how it went and Dana back in the drivers seat putting them for a press conference is always a nice touch:

The weigh-ins are today so don't want to miss those before the main event starts!

I was really waiting for the Weigh-ins but surely it will start on March 04, surely Jon Jones has a different figure than the way he is in that screenshot, well for me this fight will surely go down in history surely I got 3 main bets for the main fights for this event the Co-Main for sure Valentina Shevchenko VS Alexa Grasso, and for me, the Secret Co-Main event was Geoff Neal VS Shavkat Rakhmonov and the Main event Jon Jones VS Ciryl Gane was the 3 fights I am anticipating to put my pick in and prediction on what may happen in the fight,

Well, the KSI leaving Prime was just a youtube video title and if you would watch the video completely it was not really what Logan Paul would say, and you know YouTubers would surely wants to clickbait us by providing the wrong title but the content was not really about that,

But anyways Drake was at his fault for trusting Jake Paul so much I haven't bet on this fight but if I do I would surely bet on Tommy Fury that is surely an experienced boxer, and younger than the previous opponents of Jake Paul fought if Jake Paul is not fighting a retired MMA fighter then he would probably lose that fight, so trusting Jake Paul to win in a boxing match with a legitimate experience boxer then that will not go out on Jake Pauls account,

Cristiano Ronaldo is not happy at all, surely it was a big loss of money for him if he bet for Jake Paul to win over Tommy Fury,
