I respect your work mate because, you are pointing people at the right direction. If there's one thing I have learnt recently, it's to remain calm, especially when it comes to investments in crypto currency.Learn not to sell in panic when everything goes down and not to buy in euphoria when everything goes up. I advise you all to forget predictions and start making good profit now because feature valuation are all speculations and guesses. The market is unstable and you can't tell if it's going bullish or bearish. While myself and others are trad!n without a fear of making lose. Others are being patient for the price of skyrocket. It all depends on the pattern you follow. I was able to make 6BTC from 2.1BTC in just September from implementing with trade tips and info from Brian Carruther on Facebook Investment is one of the quickest part to financial freedom,

One of my favorite fighters. Finishes almost all of his fights with K.O.

[@koastaats3536]

Impressive how far he’s come improving his skills, particularly his wrestling defense.

[@megamanxhunter]

Not just his wrestling, his striking improved massively too. That's impressive coming from a guy who didn't do combat sports before his late 20s.

[@jamesmantil429]

Yep, from being taken down by Henrique, to stuffing one of the best wrestlers at heavyweight in Stipe, and not only stuffing it, but reversing it to land hard shots on the former champ. Really impressed with the improvement Francis has shown. So excited to see him face the most skilled striker in the heavyweight division in Gane (IMO) and see how that goes.

20's is ancient to you? Some sports fans are more brainwashed about age and athletics than I thought. It's better that he started then. He's gets to start his career at an age when he's stronger and doesn't have the amount of wear and tear other fighters have by then so he gets to be even better when he's at a fighters best fighting years (30's)

@@deleting.chanel What are you talking about your body naturally wears down soon after you hit 30. All starting late does is slow down your career and give you less time to compete.
