Been betting on MMA since 2003 (!), been living off it exclusively since 2010. There is no single winning formula. I constantly read about how my personal betting habits will lead to ruin and misery, but I've had zero losing years and haven't ever come close to one. Like everything else in...

This happens pretty frequently - Norman Parke even admitted it in the cage after he won against Kotani in the second round, and claimed to have won several thousand at a specific site (Paddy Power). There are tons of other examples I know of, although I probably shouldn't disclose them here lol...

Agreed, I'd personally never tail anyone else. Been doing this for about 16 years* in a complete vacuum except for sources who sometimes join me in betting against their injured teammates (lol) and signing up here a few months ago to occasionally post stuff/gauge sentiment, so there's no reason...

Zane is a good analyst in terms of breaking down technique, but his ability to actually pick winners is dart throw-level because he values that over everything else. He talks about not betting because he hates to lose money, which is understandable, but losing money would probably show him what...

The problem is that her arm keeps breaking, not her hands - recurring serious limb breaks are much worse than broken hands, because the breaks tend to be more severe, individual small bones can't be fused together, and it's much easier to stop using one hand during recovery than it is to...

Calvillo is great one the ground when she bothers to take fights there before the last 30 seconds of each round, but another major cautionary factor (along with everything else) has to be the fact that one of her arms is made out of glass and re-breaks constantly. It may be that she just didn't...

Dodson has that "class clown" personality type which gets in the way of him hurting people the more he thinks about it, which tends to be why he doesn't finish people unless it happens quickly after stunning or dropping them and why he admitted to carrying Makovsky to a decision because he would...

Bandejas has a good record and some decent wins, but him reportedly being down on points going into round 4 against Nick Mamalis (GARFIELD!!) gives me some pause

No, but he did drop MIKE JACKSON with a punch!!!<{dayum}> But seriously, though, Jackson may not be good at MMA, but he's a reasonably seasoned standup fighter and even though hurting him standing doesn't mean nearly as much as it would with Brown, it's still...something

Even though his technique isn't refined, Gall has hurt opponents with strikes standing in half of his UFC fights! If his fight with Punk had stayed on the feet, he probably would have won that one by KO too, lol. It wouldn't shock me if he was able to hurt Sullivan standing up, although it also...

Why the fuck would they be ramming each other's heads through drywall at Pellegrino's gym?? Is there some sort of cash prize or bursary awarded for "stupidest training environment"? The Chute Boxe Scholarship! No wonder eroding strike resistance has been an issue for his team.

Sullivan already had a terrifying level of CTE symptoms by his own direct admission and comments from people who know him more than five years ago, everybody should take that into account when betting on him and watching him fight.

Casey has 2 takedowns out of 4 attempted in 8 UFC fights, I wouldn't bet on her using one of her 0.5 takedown attempts per fight to ride out a decision over Hill. We're probably going to see three rounds of her missing strikes and talking trash while she gets steadily outworked. There's...

lol, Dennis Bryant vs. Moana had the weakest ground and pound finish ever, she should never have been in the cage in the first place

Barberena vs. Ellenberger is snuff-level matchmaking

Justin Gaethje on why he doesn’t use his wrestling: ‘I honestly don’t know’ “I’ve been wrestling my whole life. I should’ve and could’ve took him down a couple of times, especially when I had him rocked just to steal a round or two. For some reason, my mind will not let me do it. “I think I...

lmao. Been on 5dimes for like 7+ years and have never bothered clicking this link or even noticing it. Thanks!

Bear in mind that Marreta was making repeated gigantic weight cuts to fight at 170, and has always had porous striking defense - that isn't a good combination for maintaining his strike resistance, which didn't start out that high and may be starting to erode further.

Mayes vs. Usman recap: Usman walks forward throwing missed haymakers while eating occasional jabs and body kicks. Mayes repeatedly misses spininng techniques, but some were close I guess lol. Usman pushes him into the cage over and over again but doesn't strike while doing so to actually score...
