"I sell the fight in just one way: when that cage closes, I'm a lion hunting." This is how it always should be. Fake drama and forced beefs should be only for soap operas. This is too noble of a sport to be tainted with childish trash talking. Love guys like this 🙏

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

Lose five bucks, don't drink, if you pick loses (I picked young 27 year-old Arman but I would be jumping with joy, if Charles runs over him.... because I want Charles to have a second and more discipline shot at Islam, as Charles is the only person with more skills and more experience than any Top 5 guys. Charles problem is, he goes OUT OF HIS WAY to make mistakes, by being aggressive non-stopped. Arman isn't as experienced, or even as skilled; but he has enough skills and experience to e a Top 5 and being younger, with better reaction times, any stupid normal and endless Charles mistakes MAY BE taken advantage of by the Armenian. No way Dustin or Justin is going down to the mat with Charles, even if he's hurt; but Arman will go down and do a Paul Felder on Charles, if the latter is clipped by doing a kick jump or any of those "fan favorite" moves of his... Anyway, on your alcohol bet: ---- as non-drinkers, our bodies are not used to that kind level of alcohol circulating in it; you might have a severe reaction to it and die on the spot. Looking idiotic like Homer Simpson, as the other poster noted, would be the least thing you should worry about. An immune system over-reacting to a large amount of chemical it has never learned to cope with, again, COULD cause you long term health issues.

The odds are right in this fight Arman has the hype, on a win streak and big up and coming star, Charles lost to Islam who Arman arguably beat in his debut in the UFC & Charles isn’t a big underdog it’s only +185 I’ll be taking Charles on the ML and by sub

@quentinbowling2535 did you not read what I put down?

@chicx423 Arman has fantastic control and G&P, no question. And I don't think he just doesn't have the cardio to go 5 rounds, it's just extremely difficult to last all 3 or 5 rounds without getting finished. I mean, he subbed Dustin in the third round, smoked Tony for a U Dec. Idk, I actually don't mind Arman but I undoubtedly want Charles to win. If he does, it's almost certainly by finish and I don't think he'll submit Arman, except by some wild back take. I think Charles by TKO, knock Arman down with some crazy ass left hook or high kick and finish a hurt Arman on the ground
