I got just 4 out of 12 picks right in the end (in the prediction contest from SB), though I think at least 2 of the games were cancelled? Not sure why or if true, only got my Google guide to help me out.

And yeah nice pick on Zhang, that was my initial idea too, backing all the East Asians, but changed my mind, to my detriment.

Seems like my Texeira pick was on his way to winning with half a minute left, falling to a Czech submission. Well done whoever picked Jiri.

^rdbase Hehe no no I meant when I said that about where the location of the matches were. I work in Singapore currently (but unfortunately,,, not the glitzy parts and more like closer to the other big neighbor) and still do not know the areas so well myself BUT somehow did not even realize the matches for this weekend were here Smiley

I always check Sportsbet threads for sure,,,

Anyway Valentina won but round 5 so went that far and great job about your Zhang pick!

Thanks, I had a nice 2 days off from work because I did last 2 weeks a long time and managed to fill my nights with football, too bad they do not like giving me rest on weekend or I could try watch new things like UFC.

I already make one bet on Croatia tonight, now I also made a Santos bet @4.86. I like the odds too,,, but that Sevchenko Valentina looks like a sure thing so is my prediction pick.
Since your in Asia this UFC will be set in your timezone since it is being hosted in Singapore.
They mentioned an early start time at the end of the weigh-ins so you just might be able to watch it while it is happening instead of the re-runs this UFC event.

How did this even manage to pass under my radar I didn't know.

I always assumed all UFC fights were happening in USA, I know sometimes even in Asia but not in my area/region.

Seems like our sports coverage here at least in the local circles aren't really still aware of UFC things going on, my bad. I just checked and everything is happening around lunch time my time! When I am working!!

I at first was backing for Joanna to win but have since changed my view on this match.
Zhang has been training very hard and even went to a gym in the middle of the jungle to isolate herself in her training since that loss to Rose Namajunas.

Have my bets put in so am all set to sit and enjoy some big fights tonight.
There is two title fights in this main card so you don't want to miss any of the action! Grin

It's not easy at all to track the start of all this different UFC events around the world, and even in US there are different time zones.
I followed one website that was tracking that and updating with countdown timer, but they shut it down few months ago.
Back to UFC 275, I just finished watching face-offs and it was very intense between Teixeira and Prochazka.
I have a felling one of this two guys will finish on cage floor early Wink

I find it easier just to go to the betting site where you placed your bets and just see what time the first match's start time is.
This makes it a heck of alot easier to follow cause your placing your bets on the fight anyways. Smiley

As you can see the first fight begins in about 12 hours from now give or take 15-20 minutes before the markets close on you being able to bet prematch.

^Thanks for the reminder, notblox1! Can't believe I actually put my picks in 4 days ago ha, normally am scrambling to remember things like that.

The fight Shevchenko - Santos will be interesting to watch, Shevchenko dominates in her division, and the odds of 1.12 for her victory suggests that Santos does not have much chance. Santos is younger and more energetic, but Shevchenko is a very accurate fighter, she can simply keep Santos away from her and work at a distance. Look who Santos defeated by knockout, there are fighters who had a few victories in total... For me, Shevchenko's victory is obvious here, and I admit that this will be an early end to the fight.
Not worth the odds, even though I expect a dominant performance from Shevchenko. I might include a decision win, which has decent odds at 2.20. I could see a finish in this fight, but I think Santos is too tough, and Shev is way too good to get finished here. Not awesome odds either way, I mean if you went for a Santos decision or finish you'd be looking at 10.00 odds, I just can't see it happening personally.

Yeah, have to agree here. Too little to suggest an upset, no value on betting on Shevchenko, but even worse value betting on Santos. I'd add Shev to a long acca, that's the only thing I'd do with this match.

I mean, 1.12 on the favourite should translate to at least 9/1 on Santos, but you get a paltry half rate on that? Extremely poor value.

UFC Countdown was released a few days ago but just watched it on cable and it was a good one to know the fighters on the main card if you haven't seen them fight before.
Here is the link to the video from the official UFC channel:

Santos I think has the greatest chance to win as the heavy underdog on the card for the UFC #275 main events in Singapore.

I actually think Jake Matthews is the one to look out for. Think he might get a decision win, if he can avoid the heavy hands of Fialho. 3.10 odds, so not massive odds, but a underdog no less. Potentially even the main event, Glover getting a decision win? Could be on the cards I think, and that's at 8.00.

The fight Shevchenko - Santos will be interesting to watch, Shevchenko dominates in her division, and the odds of 1.12 for her victory suggests that Santos does not have much chance. Santos is younger and more energetic, but Shevchenko is a very accurate fighter, she can simply keep Santos away from her and work at a distance.

Great video from the opponent who has a very high chance to take the title away from Teixeira this weekend's main event.

Weign-ins start super early being in Singapore, so roughly in 2 hours we will have them going live:

Well they can't retain the title forever and just retire with it. They do go away being champion of that division but the title is fought over amongst the current in the table until one comes out on top to reclaim this belt.
It is strange how it is arranged but the president of the UFC Dana White makes up these rules on how it comes to pass.
So there isn't really anythinig anybody else can say to oppose how it all comes to be.

Getting ready for the UFC 275 this weekend?
If so, put in your picks for the UFC Challenge up here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-ufc-275-multi-master-challenge-saturday-5401701

My picks are Jedrzejczyk, Santos and Prochazka for the main cards.

@rdbase

Wait so you could just never fight and retain the title if you never accept a challenge? There must be a rule against that otherwise it is just well,,, weird and unfair.

I guess it is still a long complicated journey for me to understand this, I am more used to a body that determines these things and puts down fixed seasons otherwise it is just impossible for longterm planning  Wink

Thanks Smiley

I think that is the case leea-1334.

But you can also retire with the title and stay champion just like Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Talking about Khabib and you asking about McGregor before with him posting on his instagram:
https://www.givemesport.com/88017206-khabib-vs-conor-mcgregor-nurmagomedovs-face-after-training-after-ufc-229-compared

He will never come out of retirement to do another fight again that is for certain.
But he does coach a fighter by the name of Islam Makhachev and is waiting for him to get a title shot:
https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/33940141/khabib-nurmagomedov-waiting-hear-back-dana-white-islam-makhachev-title-shot

Very interesting development there while he is running his own MMA league named Eagle FC.

Thanks for the explanation rdbase,,, somehow saw the response late. Yes, I guess I am learning now there is no UFC seasono since it is just about fights and opportunities. But it still does not seem like a predictable way to see who a title holder can be and who can challenge. It seems this way a person can hold a title for longer than expected time. Does their rating 'expire' if they did not fight for a while?

Can't quite remember how the favourites went, but I do recall Volkov and Evloev being among the heavier favourites (which I also picked) so I know I got those 2 guys pat down.

Quite a number of submissions from what I see, seems slightly out of the norm, usually it's straight out KOs and decisions yeah?

Everyone happy with how it went?
I began watching halfway through the prelims and then started watching the first few fights on the main card.
As soon as my first fight on my acca lost I tuned out until the main event bout between Volkov and Roz.
It was a quick one and it got stopped early.

The only big upset was Lucas Almeida beating Michael Trizano. This was the one I had and once that was done I kind of just went back and forth watching other bets that were on at the same time.
And for the ladies Karolina Kowalkiewicz beating Felice Herrig was kind of an upset since she had been away from fighting for quite a while and had lost her past matches four straight from what I remember the announcer saying about Karolina.
Menifield & Osborne were the good ones to watch a replay of cause they just destroyed their opponents.

Overall a pretty good night of fights.
