I’m back! Life’s been a whirlwind—moving, traveling, and redesigning this website from the ground up. Welcome to my content hub, where you’ll find all my posts and updates. Feel free to sign the guestbook!
As I write this, I’m gutted by the news that ESPN might acquire UFC Fight Pass. As a fan, I love Fight Pass despite its clunky archiving and outdated features. It’s still leagues better than anything ESPN could churn out with their subpar tech. This feels like a punch to the gut. Sad day, sad news.
A lot has happened since my last post about UFC 314, where I absolutely nailed my picks. Below, I’ve reviewed my Verdict picks since then, organized in a table. At the end, you’ll find my overall accuracy percentage.

- Fair (50–64%): Hit or miss, some calls didn’t land.
- Poor (<50%): Tough night, back to the drawing board.
Overall Accuracy
Total correct picks: 134 out of 201 = 66.67%
I absolutely nailed most of the main events. Usman vs Buckley I felt very comfortable with.
How can someone keep up with all the picks? I don’t know. I have less than an hour to pick the fights for UFC Fight Night: Walker vs. Zhang - Shanghai.
I’m making my picks now. Peace.
