Do you want to make more money? Sure, we all do.
But you don’t have to call the number in that video link - I’ve got you covered right here, with my UFC Vegas 88 predictions. I’m hitting at a (blech) 58% clip this year (and 60% over my career - 2000+ fights!) picking winners for every UFC fight, so obviously, I’m a genius and/or a soothsayer. If you’re a degen and want to put some money down on the fights this weekend, here are my picks for every fight. Plus, I’ve embedded the MMA Gambling Podcast that I host at the bottom of the article.

Our main event is a couple of ranked heavyweights on losing skids. That’s UFC Apex fight cards for you.
