Great #MMA card tonight across the board at #UFC272, including a stellar #undercard. I stand at 49-22 in 2022. Hope I’m wrong on a couple of these, such as #Covington in the #MainEvent. Would also be glad to see @brianboom135 pull the upset and may actually place a bet on that, as I think he’s really dangerous to look past.
Picked underdogs in #RenatoMoicano, #EdsonBarboza and #MarynaMoroz. I think Moicano is a tough matchup and been busier than the former champ. Former #Jupiter resident Barboza presents striking at a level #BryceMitchell hasn’t seen before, and Mitchell is sporting a massive bruise on his arm. Hard to bet against Moroz, from the #Ukraine. Her opponent is tough to root against. I met @mma.mashka in #Vegas when she was on #DWTNCS, and have been to her home country of #Kazakhstan, but seeing #Ukranians fight back makes her opponent hard to bet against.
Six fights with pretty big odds makes me think we’ll see some folks get #KTFO’d. Watching the fights @brothersmilwaukee this evening with the team from @zeroto100fitness. Stop down and say hello!

Huge shout out and thank you to @old78cutlass at @silverlakeautocenters, who did an amazing job on my 38 year old #British carbaby. Four years of garageless winters for the #jaguarxj6 is over, as they helped me get it ready to drive South, where it will retire as a part time beach cruiser. Highly recommend Silver Lake Automotive. Was same price to get significantly more done, and they’ll even come watch you fight! (at Oconomowoc, Wisconsin)

A ton of fights with close odds tonight on #ufcvegas48, making it somewhat of a crap shoot. I stand at 42-18 for the year…today could put a big dent in that. I think Green has a chance, and if I were betting to make money, the payout on being a +600 underdog would be tempting. Beyond #Makhachev’s stellar wrestling, he’s just too ugly to get beat here. That level of ugly has to cull world class toughness. Can’t believe @twrecks155 #McKinney is on the undercard of this show, expect him to pull a slight upset. This card had more toss ups than a daycare with a flu bug. (at Fort Pierce, Florida)

Tough picks again, with a lot of new faces to the @ufc for #FightNight201 at the #Apex in #Vegas. I like the first three debuts in Perrin, Rodriguez and Anhliger. My faith in the newbies runs out at Motta, who is on the wrong end of the biggest experience gap in #UFC history. Someone’s goin’ get #KTFO’d in the #mainevent in spectacular fashion. I have Hill winning, but expect whomever wins to do so impressively. Took upsets in Pickett, Miller, Onama, Rodriguez, Perrin, so my run of .500 or better this year could be in serious jeopardy.

Podcast link is below…looking forward to the @ufc debut of @ceerod97, and wouldn’t look past him if I were Pearce. He’s good everywhere. And is more experienced than his age and record would have you believe. Also looking forward to Feb 27th, when we take 5 of #Milwaukee’s young #MMA talent to compete in #DesPlaines next weekend for a great promotion in @fightcardent.

My picks for #UFC271 in #Houston this evening. I don’t see anyone beating #Izzy for awhile, despite RW making big strides to close the gap. I think Lewis’s size/height and ability to avoid big damage will be enough to win. I think Brunson and Cannonier are about as equal as you can get, edge to Brunson’s wrestling. The undercard is much trickier, and it wouldn’t be right unless I called one crazy one. I don’t think there’s any universe I could cheer against #Roxy, and that includes betting against her. She’s not supposed to be in this, but she has had standout fights that make this a bigger question mark than Vegas has it for her retirement fight. #MMA Is going to miss her. (at Cold Spring Park)

Fight video is included in this week’s #KTFO #podcast. We recap #FightNight200 and preview #UFC271, dive into mental prep and how it can be adapted from #MMA to #RealLife, and tackle the #JoeRogan controversy. As it stays cold in #Milwaukee, daydreaming of warmer times. Flashback to November, hanging out with @odeosbourne and #DarrenTill before he was sent to Instagram’s penalty box.
Link to Video, fight at the beginning.

Went to welcome the new guy to the gym, only to find out he’s a 2020 #SBHS grad from my hometown of #SturgeonBay; population 8,885. Time to let the up north accent take over at the gym, curse out #CowpieHigh between rounds, do some hotlaps around town after, before heading to the #RedRoom to rehydrate. Welcome to @zeroto100fitness, #Milwaukee, and the world of #MMA, @_adisonbenzinger! Time to impose some #Clipper spirit on folks. (at Cold Spring Park)
