Well… glad that’s over. I can’t deny, though, that the fights were fire.
And it was a mostly good night for your streakers here at Mania. JKWI and Steve007 both hit on Sunday and still tied atop our leaderboard. Both now have a seven fight win streak (the most anyone has ever gotten here).
JKWI was one of many folks who went for Ruffy. Steve007 went with Nickal.
I also picked Ruffy, so I now have a whopping two fight streak. You know who else picked him? My nemesis… BennyHillDariush. And he did it with panache.
At the end of his fight, Chandler will be laying on the canvas as if some slipped him a Ruffy.
A haiku:
Mauricio it
be, to get to three for me
I’ll be here all week
I have to give a big shout out to The Sassing Machine, who was the only one to pick Justin Gaethje. Here’s their post:
I dare to dream.
I dream of an American victory at this gimicky, gnat-infested, possibly thunderstorm struck event that also likely heralds the downfall of western civilization.
I dream of a spot atop the streak leaderboard. Just me. Because I had the courage to make a pick that no one else will.
I dream of Gaethje.
Mark me down for The Highlight.
God bless America. And no one else.
And now for something completely different… UFC Vegas 119 at the APEX.
