Fight talk, DFS value, and BJJ. Everyone can read — members can post.
UFC 332. Tomorrow. Salt Lake City, altitude, 14 fights. Main event: Silva vs Wang for the vacant flyweight title. The salary board (FanDuel): • McGhee $16 vs Romero $9 — Romero's a debutant on 3 days' notice. $9 is the cheapest punt on the slate, but this is a nightmare matchup for him. • Silva $20 vs Wang $15 for the title. • Full board and the lineup builder are in the Optimizer. Weigh-ins are done. Final picks lock tonight. Who you got?

⬜ White Belt CornerNever built a UFC lineup before? You're in the right place. The 30-second version: you pick 6 fighters under a salary cap. Finishes score big. That's the whole game. Ask anything below — matchups, salaries, what a "punt play" is. No dumb questions in this corner.
🥋 BJJ After 40There's a point where recovery becomes the whole game. You stop collecting techniques and start collecting habits that keep you on the mat. The formula that keeps working: show up, tap early, lift a little, sleep a lot. This corner is for those of us doing this past 40. What's working for you — and what has your body told you to stop doing?
