Thrilled with his recent spate of winning predictions, our bold trainee requested a few days to dedicate himself to studying the card for UFC 145, set to go down Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia.

“I don’t mean to brag, boss, but I found out things that even Dana White doesn’t know!” he spluttered, pulling out a napkin with an incomprehensible jumble of numbers, notes and charts scrawled on it.

“For example, on the card for UFC 145 there’s an athlete who’s almost a complete unknown yet is a champion in YouTube hits. The problem is that the video’s of him tapping out to a rare armlock, by Aoki. But that still makes it a curious and bizarre tidbit,” the seal explained.

Excitadíssimo com os acertos recentes, nosso bravo Estagiário pediu uns dias para se dedicar ao estudo do card do UFC 145, transmitido ao vivo neste sábado, a partir de 20h, pelo canal Combate (o card principal também será exibido via Sportv).

“Não quero me gambar, não, chefia. Mas descobri coisas que nem Dana White sabe!”, disparou, mostrando um guardanapo amassado cheio de números, anotações e gráficos incompreensíveis.

“Por exemplo, no card do UFC 145 há um atleta quase desconhecido mas que é campeão de acessos do YouTube. O problema é que ele está batucando em pé numa chave de braço rara, para o Aoki. Mas não deixa de ser curioso e bizarro”, explicou o foca.
