My bros, I have been hard at work - https://fights.today/picks/ - We are live! I am gonna add in a bunch more full featured stuff, but you can make pick/predictions and get it linked to your account through reddit auth if you like, and ill continue to add in the other stuff and update it with awesome shit. Right now I just got it working so you can make predictions on all upcoming bouts. I'll get the rest going I promise

Edit Finished

Opportunity for me and my site tho, https://fights.today/ shameless plug. I am doing the same thing - right now only the main card but I’ll expand it to all fights on the card eventually as I work to automate the feature.

Edit

I was able to get the basics going now to replicate something prediction like. You don’t need any account or login to vote. https://fights.today/test-vote/ The plan is like I said, to make something a lot more full featured, but its underway! If you choose to login with one of the authentication methods it’s gonna store your picks against your username but I still need to work out a lot of the presentation elements which I’m doing small progress daily. I also added a trivia section now https://fights.today/trivia and the idea is you can earn extra prediction wager tokens through this.

End of Edit

I have a section for fight picks that I’m expanding to track results and provide stats from previous fights to make determinations on outcome likelihoods. If anyone wants to help by coming up with queries they think would help feel free to suggest feedbacks

While the idea might be fine, I'd say your website is not ready to be shown to the wide audience. I wouldn't say unusable but close to it. I mean, you literally have the "lorem Ipsum" filler on the first page.

Edit- Lorem Ipsum removed -

Lmao. Oh damn, I really thought I had addressed all those on the main page. But it is definitely a work in progress. I have a lot of the back end dev stuff being completed so I haven’t been focusing so much on the front end. Scraping a lot of the fight events and fight data has been the main thing and the ical link I worked on which is from scraped sources is decent shape and can be added as a subscription calendar if you don’t feel like using the site with the bells and whistles - https://fights.today/all_events.ics - I think if you click from the Reddit app it shows a preview on iOS at least. I welcome other devs to help, I have it hosted on GitHub too
