How Governments Regulate Sportsbooks to Be More User-Friendly

Posted on December 20, 2021 by A. J. Riot

Sports betting is far from the occasional hobby it once was and now stands as one of the most impactful economic spheres globally. The niche boasts a market value of around $131.1 billion and is estimated to hit $180 billion by 2026. Regions like the UK, Australia, Canada, and Macau have established industries that generate billions in revenue, and many more countries are following suit, considering the venture’s potential.

One such jurisdiction is the United States, where the federal government recently passed a law allowing each state the freedom to run its own legalized sports industry. States like New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia, and Mississippi have already embraced the niche, and most others will likely follow suit.

While the issue of government regulation has only started taking off recently, sports betting has always been popular with the masses. Citizens in countries with restrictions often resort to illegal offshore sources, which presents many issues for individuals and society at large. Governments are stepping in to make the environment more friendly, and here is how they are doing it.

UFC 269 Preview – Charles Oliveira Takes On Dustin Poirier

Posted on December 11, 2021 by A. J. Riot

Although the end of 2021 is quickly approaching on the horizon, there is still plenty of time for season’s beatings and with the latest instalment of the UFC’s fight circus coming to Nevada this weekend, more octagon warfare will be on the agenda.

Warfare that will see Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier square off in a bid to become the Lightweight champion and with the former currently holding the gold, he will not be in a mood to give it away.

Especially as Oliveira will be undertaking his first defence as king of the Lightweight division and after getting the better of Michael Chandler at UFC 262, he would take possession of the then vacant belt.

Now though, his possession of the belt also means he has a target on his back and with Poirier formerly being anointed as an interim champion within the Lightweight division, he will now look to go one step further.

A step that he has attempted to take before and after being paired against the legendary Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242, the outcome was one that saw the fearsome Dagestani earn a submission victory.

Who Has A Claim To The Greatest Of All Time Status Within The UFC?

Posted on November 22, 2021 by A. J. Riot

The UFC was founded back in 1993 and has been the driving force behind the popularity of the mixed martial arts world, as the demand for Saturday Night Fights is through the roof, and something that was possibly not imagined back when the UFC was launched. Due to this, we have seen some of the fiercest competitors come through the ranks and claim themselves as some of the best to ever do it, in the newly formed sport, but who can put themselves in the category of being the greatest of all time within the UFC; below we investigate the candidates.

The leading candidate, and possibly the most mentioned fighter when it comes mentioning GOAT status must be Jon “Bones” Jones due to his unbeaten record in the octagon. Not only this, but he also dominated the light-heavyweight division for nearly a decade and has beaten some formidable opponents including Daniel Cormier. The only issue with Jones’ claim to the GOAT status is that he struggled throughout his career with controversy including performance enhancing drugs and clashing with the law in which he found himself arrested on several occasions. If it wasn’t for these issues, Jones is quite clearly the greatest ever.

MMA Lightweight TriviaThere will be plenty for UFC fans to get excited about over the coming weeks.

UFC enthusiasts will be eagerly anticipating UFC 269 next month where Charles Oliveira will put his lightweight title on the line former interim champion Dustin Poirier.

Speculation has mounted in recent weeks that Poirier may hang up his gloves and retire from the Octagon. However, that appears to be the furthest thought from his mind, and when quizzed whether he would consider walking away, Poirier was unequivocal with his answer.

He said: “Nah man – I’m a fighter. I’m fortunate enough now, with this year that I’ve had that I could walk away.

“It’s a great position to be in, but these guys need ass-whoopings, and I’m the guy to give it to them. And we can’t walk away like that.”

Poirier (28-6) will fancy his chances against Oliveira (31-8), and it will mark his second attempt at an undisputed UFC Championship after he lost via submission against Khabib Nurmagomedov over two years ago.
