    If he stays at 135 he could dominate. Volk is too good for him right now but a couple years from now it may be a diff story at 145.

    Volk would be retired by then.

    Ya. Just ml.

    Had a few different parlays going and they all just needed Sterling to win to top them off.

    Ya I'm pissed lol.

    Had Sean caught Sterling coming in to close the gap trying to grapple him, or walked Sterling down while defending takedown and caught him, it wouldn't hurt as bad. I'd admit I got it wrong and just deal with the bitterness.

    But for this fight to be completely winnable for Sterling if he just commits to what he does best, but that he instead spends the entire time trying to have a kickboxing match... literally reaching for shots against the reachier striker....

    bruh, what are you freaking doing.

    Yeah idk why he overreached there lol. These wrestlers just don’t have the natural knack of being strikers and having good distance and timing.

    I couldn’t do parlays **** would feel give me heart attack lol too many variables and outcomes.

    Man I'm really starting to hate the stress of having too much money on the line for a fight. I find it a pretty unpleasant experience lol.

    And ya for the parlays it's multiple fights feeling like that lol. Not fun.

    Be careful. I feel like gambling is too much on the emotions. When you lose you want to win it back right away and make some dumb decisions.

    Agreed. I've learned the hard way to be more strategic in my approach.
    Patience is definitely key.

    MMA is not a great thing to gamble on. Its way too unpredictable.
