Las Vegas - Staying inside the Octagon for this Saturday's UFC card in Jacksonville, and looking at Francis (The Predator) Ngannou vs. Jairzinho (Bigi Boy) Rozenstruik. Ngannou is the favorite in this match at -$240 (bet $240 to win back $100), with Rozenstruik the underdog at +$200 (bet $100 to win back $200).
So, Mrs. Ecks & Bacon has actually been reading my articles everyday because she loves the Tale of the Tape. Now, she's asking if she can lend a little flavor to the T of the T. No offense to my GORGEOUS wife, but I'm advising her to concentrate on her new online business, 'Lost & Found...AGAIN.' She's selling vintage jewelry and clothing, plates and teapots from the 1800s, and crazy shoes from Gucci, Louboutin, Dior, Vuitton and Miu Mui. Had to ask Alexa about Mui Mui because I thought that was something a cow said. Alexa tells me that Mui Mui is a brand owned by Prada. Miuccia Prada conceived the name Miu Miu from the family’s nickname for her. While Prada offered minimalistic, elegant, and sophisticated designs to their customers, Miu Miu fell on the other side of the spectrum. Miu Miu’s take on fashion was rather rebellious, loud, and eclectic, something that people immediately fell in love with. The brand conceived the concepts of couture, luxury, and feminism, which were anything but mainstream back then. Its strategy, collections and photographs were bold, staying true to its motto. The shoes from this brand continue to fascinate women to this day. Bet you didn't know that I was a FASHIONISTA!!!
Back to the Octagon and we're talking about Ngannou who is 33 years old from Cameroon, tips the scale at 255 and change, is 6'4" and has a 83" reach. His MMA record is 14-3, with 10 wins coming by KO, 4 by submission. If you wanna talk about a HARD KNOCK LIFE, check this. Francis, don't call him Franny, started working in a sand quarry at 12 years old, and at the age of 26, moved to Paris, where he lived homeless on the streets. At 12 years old, I had a paper route in the Bronx. At 26, I was still home with parents, but sleeping on the pullout couch in the living room.
Rozenstruik is 35 years old from Suriname, a small country on the northeastern coast of South America. It's sandwiched between Guyana and French Guiana, with Brazil to the South, and was a Dutch colony until 1975.
Bigi tips the scale at 250 and small change, is 6'2" and has a 78" reach. His MMA record is 10-0, with 9 wins coming by KO and 1 by decision. And just a little piece of info to tuck away, seven of Bigi's 10 fights ended in the 1st round.
Still doing my due diligence and will probably make all the selections in our Saturday column. But just to tease, this bout is gonna be one of my BEST BETS BAABBBEEE!!!
