i will be sharing his UFC Picks as well as mine throughout the week, so keep an eye out

Derrick Lewis vs. Serghei Spivac -- Saturday, February 4, 2023 – 10:00 PM EST at UFC Apex ​

"The available UFC odds at BMR's top online sportsbooks favor Spivak, and since the previously scheduled bout between these two, we’ve witnessed a massive price increase on Spivac – from -170 to -230. ​

I’m not too fond of the odds increase, but if we’re going to fade the Black Beast, doing it with a young and prosperous fighter in front of him is probably the best time to do so.

With that said, we’ll go back to the well with Spivac – despite the disgusting price discrepancy from 2022.

Youth, speed, and grappling will favor the Ukrainian, and although Lewis is one of the scariest heavyweights to fade, we haven’t seen a KO blow from him since December 2021. "

I read that Lewis vs. Spivac are supposed to meet in Nov last year but Lewis was forced to withdraw due to a non-COVID, non-weight-cutting illness.

I've already made my plays for this weeks card.
Tybura by points +110
Spivac by TKO/KO +115
Doo Ho Choi -190

2 fight parlay -135: Da Un Jung -245
Rinya Nakamura -425

Lot of heavy favorites on this card but they're big favorites for a reason. I like Spivac in the main event to win by ground and pound because I feel like he can exploit Lewis's weaknesses and get this fight to the ground where he'll just win by strikes.

The fight I'm most excited to see on this card is the Doo Ho Choi fight because I'm interested to see if the 3 year layoff hurts him. I don't think it does but you never know he might be rusty. Whatever the case I don't see that one going the distance and I see Doo Ho Choi overwhelming Kyle Nelson with sheer volume like he does most of his opponents.

That was a Bellator match and Hokit won by UD. 4 prelims were rescheduled for after main card including that one.

Bellator has been in the business for awhile but made stupid mistakes like and ran that show like a joke. First time mma was back on CBS in a long time but wasn’t impressive. Though it was during prelims on YouTube the Lara/Avasaragova match was delayed because they were missing one of the judges.
