    Think im in 18 different draft kings pools. Bunch of quarter pools as well as $1, $2, $3 and $5 ones. Really wanted to pull the trigger on one of the $25+ ones but im too much of a p----.

    Went heavy on 2 different line ups. Chiesa, Justin Jones, Masvidal, Lamas and Pena. Dont think Lamas will win but think he can get some points as i think it goes all 5 rounds. Think Chiesa and Pena have a good chance of finishing early. On the fence about Masvidal but Iaquinta has a habit of getting choked and Masvidal showed in the Chiesa fight that hes more then capable of choking out legit guys.

    The other line up i went with is Chiesa, Lamas, Masvidal, Abdurakhimov and Poirier. Hoping the Russian dude KO's the other guy early. Not sure what to expect from Poirier but i think he wins a somewhat exciting decision.

    Im really torn on Iaquinta/Masvidal, especially after seeing Masvidal struggle to make weight. Made a couple changes on some of my DK picks to change from Masvidal to Iaquinta.

    Maynard is done. What the f--- happened to him?

    Frankie wreck his career along with BJ's.

    Well at least he didn't get knocked out this time. He should just retire but I can see him continuing to fight, even if it's not with the UFC

    Maynard was another guy i took in a couple of my DK line ups.

    I went heavy on Chiesa, Pena and Lamas. Think Chiesa and Pena are locks for big fantasy point but id love a Lamas upset.

    Thankfully I used that fight as my opportunity to take a shower since I woke up right when the prelims were starting. Main card should be pretty good, excited to see Pena back

    Nice finish by Poirier.

    Don't really see the hype behind Pena.

    I hope she makes me eat my words, but I don't think she's all that great.

    ^Sloppy striking but great GNP. We'll see how shes improved, but shes wrecked everyone shes fought so far.

    That Poirier 1st round finish was clutch for me.

    That fight had "Guida smothering" written all over it. Peralta has zero ground game. Probably a fight to get Guida back into winning ways.

    A fight with the Lentz/Oliveira winner would make a lot of sense.

    edit: lol at that post fight speech. I want some of what Guida's smoking.
