Are Online Slots Worth Playing?

Posted on March 15, 2021 by A. J. Riot

Growth in technology and the arrival of the internet have led to the advancement of online slots. Slot game enthusiasts are now able to play the game of their choice anywhere and anytime. Playing in slot games, both land-based casino and online, bring a lot of fun to players. Here are some of the benefits you get from playing online games.

Very Convenient

You don’t have to move out of your home in online slots to go and place a bet. All you need is a smartphone or any computerized device, plus a stable network; then, you can relax on your couch and enjoy the online game of your choice. There’s also no time limitation since you can place your bet anytime, unlike the land-based casino.
It is also very safe to play your best online slot at home since you don’t have to worry about getting robbed inside your home, unlike in a real-life casino where you can be greeted by thieves who are preying on your money.

What Weight Class is the Most Exciting to Watch?

Posted on March 13, 2021 by A. J. Riot

The UFC has 10 divisions which can all boast great MMA fighters. However, not all divisions offer the same quality and talent for spectators, though this changes each year as new challengers appear against reigning titleholders, powerful rivalries add some excitement and media attention shifts focus to fighters we may have overlooked.

Some of the best fights to watch are live events at the casino hotspots of Singapore, Macau, and Las Vegas. Whether you want to play baccarat online whilst waiting for fights to start, or choose to visit a casino to game in-house, casino locations offer a variety of entertainments. Here we rank the divisions by the excitement they offer spectators.

The most exciting weight classes to watch:

Heavyweight

The most exciting fights to watch are in the heavyweight division where violence and fabulous KO’s are almost guaranteed. Currently, there are several contenders for the title with Cyril Gane coming from being an unknown newcomer to a title contender after his big win against former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos.

UFC Fighters To Watch in 2021

Posted on March 13, 2021 by A. J. Riot

It is remarkable that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) were able to show 41 events worldwide in 2020, cancelling only five events that year. Within the first six weeks of 2021, there have already been four fight cards including a fight between Max Holloway and Calvin Kattar and a rematch between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor which has been seven years in the making.

The most popular UFC fighters in 2021 will be meeting in the Octagon at venues across the globe. For additional excitement away from the Octagon you can join a licensed online casino like Yukon Gold Casino which offers the chance to win a life-changing jackpot. It may not just be these popular UFC fighters that could experience a life-changing 2021.

Ciryl Gane – Heavyweight

Gane joined the UFC in 2019 after just three professional fights and is currently ranked as a top 10 heavyweight contender after wins against Raphael Pessoa, Don’Tale Mayes and Tanner Boser. His fight with former UFC Heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos ended in a KO win and now Gane is due to meet Jairzinho Rozenstruik. With wins against another former heavy champion Andrei Arlovski and Alistair Overeem, who is arguably one of the best UFC fighters ever, Gane is one to watch in 2021.

Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski’s 2021 Plans

Posted on March 10, 2021 by Oleg

Alexander Volkanovski has enjoyed an incredible run since his only defeat to Corey Nelson way back in 2013 in Melbourne. Fast forward eight years and he proudly sits at the top of the tree in the featherweight division. He only fought once in 2020, beating Max Holloway on a split decision at UFC 251. He’ll be looking to get at least two fights under his belt in 2021, but let’s take a look at his potential timeline.

1. Ortega at UFC 260

Brian Ortega goes for the belt on the back of a great performance against the Korean Zombie back in October on his return from injury. He really showed how much he’d improved since the Holloway defeat almost two years prior.

He’s priced as the underdog for his fight with the champion at odds of +163 (2.62) with leading betting sites like bet365 and Unibet. This price is a good indicator of just how good Volkanovski is. The Aussie is priced at -200 (1.50) and -188 (1.53) with top Australian betting sites like Unibet and bet365 respectively. They’re both very competitive prices, but bet365 offers slightly better value on the champ.

Volkanovski is clearly entering this fight full of confidence, and he doesn’t feel he’ll have any trouble getting his hand raised on the night:

“The guy’s always been a good fighter,” Volkanovski said in a recent interview. “I talk about his improvements as if he wasn’t good. He’s always been a great fighter and he’s always had a lot of good skills. But I believe he has evolved. This whole ‘Ortega 2.0,’ I believe it. I’ve seen a different fighter in there – even though he’s always been dangerous. He’s always been good at timing and picking the right shots, but right now all the in-betweens he’s just got down pat at the moment. There’s a lot of things that I’ve seen that was impressive, so I’m expecting a new challenge, a tough challenge and a different challenge.

Was Early-Mid 1990s Rings MMA “Real”?

Posted on March 9, 2021 by Jason

Recently, Tapology has added results from early-mid 1990’s RINGS MMA shows as “professional” MMA bouts. Fighters such as Akira Maeda have seen massive boosts in records & ratings due to this.

However, they’ve conveniently left out bouts prior to 1993 (or so) and have always acknowledged bouts in the late 1990’s and beyond. Have any of our viewers done significant research on these bouts to determine legitimacy? If so, please comment or Email us.

Champion Kyoji Horiguchi returns in Rizin title fight

Posted on March 7, 2021 by A. J. Riot

Coach Mike Brown had a difficult decision to make. It was in early November when the Japanese government announced that only certain select noncitizens could enter the country for business purposes, if they would quarantine for two weeks upon arrival. That meant Brown, a renowned American MMA coach, was actually able to corner Kyoji Horiguchi in the main event of Rizin which took place on 31 of December at Saitama Super Arena.

However, the trip to Japan and the time that he spent in quarantine, did force Brown to make a sacrifice. And if you are home and you want to do something different with your days, then there’s something great you’re able to do and it’s incredibly easy for you. It’s playing at an online casino. You can find the best one through casimaru.com and you’ll have all the information regarding the casinos in Japan. Remember to play safely and, of course, to have fun, which is highly important. With time, you will adventure more and more and you are able to become a pro when it comes to online casinos.

UFC Fighters with 20+ Bouts

Posted on March 5, 2021 by Oleg

Of the thousands of professional MMA fighters who have stepped into the UFC Octagon over the years, very few achieved any kind of longevity. Of course it’s the UFC and not the fighters who wield most of the power in the contracts, and the promotion isn’t hesitant to release those who don’t perform up to the management’s expectations. So it’s very impressive when a fighter sticks around for a decade or more, or reaches significant milestones like 5, 10, 20, or 25 bouts.

In this article we will focus on one of those milestones: 20 fights in the UFC. To date, only 73 fighters have lasted long enough to rack up 20 bouts with the promotion. Of course many have gone above and beyond – you can track their progress here: Fighters with Most Bouts in UFC. Or if you’re bored with MMA, you can play the best online roulette games instead.

Let’s take a closer look at ten names near the top of the list who are still actively competing in UFC:

Donald Cerrone – 36 bouts (23-10, 1 NC)

Not only is ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone the most active fighter in the UFC history, he is also the most winningest. Due to his propensity to fight often and take on all comers, it only took him less than 10 years to achieve these accomplishments. Nowadays, Cerrone is at the tail end of his career, as evidenced by his abysmal performance against Conor McGregor. Yet Cerrone soldiers on, and is slated to take on Diego Sanchez – another veteran on our list. The end may be near for the Cowboy but he could pick up another few fights to top off his record before heading out to the pasture.

Jim Miller – 36 (21-14-0, 1 NC)

Tied with Cerrone for most UFC bouts, Jim Miller has been a UFC mainstay for more than a dozen years. He’s never had a title shot, despite at one point winning seven in a row. However he can always be counted on for an exciting fight. Even as Miller was battling Lyme’s disease, he was still fighting other pro’s in the Octagon. Miller was supposed to face Bobby Green in a recent event; however Green had to drop out of the fight at the last minute due to medical issues, denying Miller the sole spot at the top of this list. Jim still fights on, taking on unheralded Joe Solecki in April. It will be interesting to see whether Miller or Cerrone (or someone else?) will ultimately end up with the record.

The State of the Heavyweight Division: 2021

Posted on March 4, 2021 by Oleg

The first few months of 2021 are heavy on the heavyweight matchups in UFC. We’re coming off back-to-back HW main events, with Cyril Gane defeating Jairzinho Rozenstruik in an uneventful 5-rounder last weekend, and Derrick Lewis brutally knocking out Curtis Blaydes the week before. The Lewis-Blaydes card also had a strong supporting cast of heavyweight veterans and up-and-comers. And a month from now, the reigning and defending champion [#1] Stipe Miocic will defend his title in a rematch with [#2] Francis Ngannou. The winner of that fight will most likely take on Jon ‘Bones’ Jones in the former light-heavyweight champions heavyweight debut. With all these matchups, 2021 is on an early track to be a breakout year for the UFC’s heavyweight division. Let’s take a look at the top 10 heavyweights (most of whom are competing in the UFC), and what this year may hold for them. And if you are a gambling type, you can place a bet on your favorite fighter at sites such as www.comeon.com to make the fights even more exciting.

[#1] (C) Stipe Miocic

Stipe Miocic cemented his legacy as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time when he bested Daniel Cormier in a best of 3 series for the UFC title. He has already defeated his next opponent Francis Ngannou in a rather lopsided decision; however Ngannou racked up four first-round knockouts in his last four fights, which was enough to earn him a rematch with Miocic. If Stipe can once again fend off Francis, a matchup with Jon Jones could be next. Should Stipe win this one as well, his name will definitely be in the GOAT discussion.

What’s Coming for the UFC 259: Sports Betting

Posted on March 1, 2021 by A. J. Riot

Image Source

UFC 259: Błachowicz vs. Adesanya is already next month, and mixed martial arts enthusiasts and bettors are excited to predict who will win the championships. The event will happen at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Although the UFC 259 is still a month away, and there might be changes in the line-up due to COVID-19, the current line-up is stacked. Aside from Adesanya vs. Blachowicz, Amanda Nunes and Petr Yan are also slated to defend their titles.

Jan Błachowicz vs. Israel Adesanya

There has been a lot of Sports Buzz already about the upcoming UFC 259, especially about the main event between Adesanya and Blachowicz for the light heavyweight belt. The reigning UFC middleweight titleholder, Asedanya, is up against the 205-pound champion, Blachowicz.

Israel Adesanya made his UFC debut three years back. Since his debut, he has nine wins, making him undefeated up to this day, four of which were by knockout. He is known to be an incredible kickboxer with great movement and power.

Jan Błachowicz, on the other hand, made his UFC debut in October 2017 and amassed a record of 8 wins and one loss inside the Octagon. He is still fresh from his light heavyweight title win against Dominick Reyes via a second-round knockout. The start of his career was up and down. However, he turned things around and won eight of his last nine fights.
