 Well, last week certainly didn't go as planned. I've been doing a lot of thinking recently and I clearly need to adjust my betting approach. I've hit a bit of a tough stretch in general recently, which is going to happen, but the bets were still hit and miss even when my picks were doing well. I still think I could do a better job of betting favorites and minus money props, so maybe there will be more opportunities to attack those spots going forward. Anyways, we're really in the midst of what is likely to be the worst stretch of the UFC calendar. We've had some pretty rough events over the last handful of weeks and we have a few more to go before we get to July. At least when the PPVs are good, you can sort of justify the weaker Fight Nights, but when the PPVs are thin, these bad Fight Night cards are a lot tougher to deal with. July is on the horizon though and that's when things are really going to pick up. This isn't the worst event of all time, but it&

 Now that we're back in the win column, we can focus on building a streak. We're coming off of a decent PPV and we have a very solid offering from this Fight Night. We also get it at a decent time of day. The main event is a little weird, but the card overall is pretty interesting. I'm not going to waste any more time. Just to be clear,  my picks will be in the bolded font , and  the real results will be listed next to it in italics  after the fight is official. Official bets will be at the bottom. Bets are now being officially tracked at  BetMMA  as well. Jessica-Rose Clark defeats Tainara Lisboa               Result: Lisboa by submission (0-1)          This fight may end up being a bit of a messy one, but it's not horrible to kick off the afternoon. Lisboa is making her UFC debut and I'm not really in a position to make any significant conclusions about her game. She's only had 7 mma fights and she's 32 years old. She seems like a decent enough striker, bu

 We're back and after a third really bad week in a row, I need to turn it around fast. Both the picks and the bets are suffering, but we have a PPV card to hopefully turn that around. PPVs haven't always been my strongest showings, but we'll make this an exception. We have the return of Henry Cejudo and he's not really a guy that I've had a chance to talk about very often since I started this. I have a love hate with CCC like most people do. I have an incredible amount of respect for Henry and what he's accomplished in his career. He's really one of the best combat athletes we've ever seen and I feel he doesn't get enough recognition for it. However, Henry's gimmick really grinds my gears. The King of Cringe thing really gets on my nerves and is probably the main reason I don't really call myself a Henry fan. That and seeing him beat Dominick Cruz hurts a lot. Anyways, this isn't the best PPV card you'll ever see, but it is certainly
