Statsbeast Weekend Rundown
“That puts my season record for MMA Fight Picks at 7-5”
All the simulator and me had the 49ers covering the 9.5 point spread, the Cardinals came to play and only lost by 4. Good strategy by the Cards to force the passing game, however it was not enough for the victory
The Simulators had this game really close, with the majority of them having the Jets winning. I took the Dolphins at home plus the points, the Dolphins won easily 26-18. I expected the Dolphins to put some points on the board and they did
On to my MMA picks for the weekend
First off from the bottom of the main card and working my way up
I picked Gillispie, I stated that Kevin was on a slide and needed this one badly, but I thought Gillispie would pull out the victory, Kevin ended up finishing him with a spectacular head kick in the first round
I had Blagoy beating Derrick, I stated if it went the distance Blagoy would win, well, Derrick actually took the W, congrats to The Beast
I had Stephen Thompson imposing his striking on Vincente, he ended up taking the unanimous decision.
I had Gastelum Winning against Darren, Darren made a fantastic showing and came out with the victory
Finally, I thought that Jorge Masvidal was in a different class than Nate and would easily win. That indeed happened with the ref stopping the fight due to cuts. Nate was over matched to say the least.
That puts my season record for MMA Fight Picks at 7-5
On to the Alvarez vs Kovalev fight, my friend picked Alvarez with the late KO, young Ryan Garcia's Speed would be too much for his opponent and Senesia and Blair would also pull out the victory. A Complete Sweep for my Boxing analyst and editor Simon Rulvacaba.
