Completely shit the bed with my Jeka Saragih pick. Feel good about this week, might buy my Blake Bilder bet back and eat the juice.

FEB 11
TYSON PEDRO -245 (MODESTAS BUKAUSKAS VRS TYSON PEDRO)
This bet is a complete fade of Modestas Bukauskas, I know he has had success in cage warriors, but he has been total shit in tne UFC getting smoked and damaged by Jimmy Crute and Khalil Rountree . Pedro came into the UFC and got fed to some monsters, had some success and then went on a skid and now has a two win fight steak after retiring two bloated cans. Pedro is just 1. going to be be too physically imposing 2. is just the more rounded fighter. Pedro fights out of City Kickboxing, but is more of a grapper. Even though Pedros' last tow fights have been against the bottem of the barrel of the UFC Bukauskas competition has been way way worst.

ZUBAIRA TUKHUGOV -505 (ELVES BRENNER VRS ZUBAIRA TUKHUGOV)
Elves Brenner is only in the UCF because he is a late replacment for Joel Alvarez who is a legit scarry fighter, he is stepping up from Predador FC 42 to the UFC; get the fuck out of here. He has losses in Future MMA and WCC Natural Selection and a bad loss to journeyman Denis Silva
. This line should be -1200. Zubaira Tukhugov stand up and grapping is good, he fights hehind a stining jab and has a high fight IQ, he stayed toe to two in a striking match with Hakeem Dawodu and Renato Moicano and won the take down battle in both fights.

JACK JENKINS -317
(DON SHAINIS VRS JACK JENKINS) (UFC 284 - FEATHERWEIGHT 3 ROUNDS @ RAC ARENA - PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA)
These two fighter seem to mirror each other in their weapons, but not their style., Both have aggressive kicking games and want to take the fight to the ground; Don Shainis is wild and risk taking and ultra agressive, Jack Jenkins is looking to chop down his opponents lead legs to open take takedowns. Shainis has amazing at explosive reversals and never panics when he is in a bad position and puts on a unreal pace with great cardio.
Jenkins is the prototype of the modern mma fighter. He uses ever wapon well front kicks, side kicks, calf kicks, boxing wrestling, entries, takedowns, slams to the mat. Jenkins grownd game is so efficient and next level.

BIG BET

PARLAY (2 TEAMS)

JAMIE MULLARKEY -260
(FRANCISCO PRADO VRS JAMIE MULLARKEY) (UFC 284 - LIGHTWEIGHT 3 ROUNDS @ RAC ARENA - PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA)
Tapology has Pardo listed as ranked 1st ranked of 156 active Argentina Pro Lightweights. 5th ranked of 1093 active Brazil Pro Lightweights.
2nd ranked of 617 active Latin America Pro Lightweights. This seem absurd to me for such a untested fighter only based on his age.
His only compition is from an obscure fight promotion in Buenos Aires, Argentina called Samurai Fight House. This shithole is not even on the map of top MMA organizations in Latin America,

This is way too much of a step up in competition for Francisco Prado at 20 years old, going from fighting only in the Argentina MMA organizations to the UFC and against a tested commodity like Jamie Mullarkey. Most of Prado fights look like they took place in the low level events in make shift octagon infront of crowds of 100 people. Prado record is padded with fighters who seem to have padded their records in lesser fight promotions . I understand bringing in a MMA prodigy like Raul Rosas Jr, but Francisco Prado at 20 is way too unproven to fight someone like Mullarkey who is comming off a nice win over Michael Johnson. In his fight befor that Jamie Mullarkey showed ridiculous tenacity and ability when he was physically outmatched by Jalin Turner. The first round of the Turner fight he threw everthing he had at Turner, he looked sharp and technical and well rounded. Mullarkey has also gone this distance with strickers like Fares Ziam and Brad Riddell. Even though most of his wins have come by KO he is a Black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and will have a height and reach and advantage in is fight. Mullarkey has been training with the UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and the team from Freestyle MMA .

I rewatched the video on both Francisco Prado and Elves Brenner just to see if there was anything I missed, they are both total garbage. Prado boxing footwork is not even even amature level, his boxing is not good and his striking is wide and looping, none of his opponents know how to use head movement effectively, his ground game is incredibly low level. Elves Brenner is a absolute shit show, he has no power in his strikes, and can't defent a takedowns at all.

That was a bad decision, not sure how you give Brener Rd2 or Rd3, I did think he won Rd1. I believe one judge had it 3-0 Brener???

That being said, Tukhugov certainly didn’t look anywhere near a 5/1 favorite either. Guy always seems to fight to the level of his competition.
