    I've made SF picks on the basis of the below.

    No point not including Strikeforce, only takes one person to ruin it.
    Going to make my picks now.

    I wouldn't have minded sticking to just UFC, given that it's probably what most people are knowledgeable (to some extent :pac:), but as was mentioned it only takes one person to not read the thread to screw up the league for the other 25..

    We could use this event as a 1 off? maybe have a group concensus after,I would have prefered to stay to ufc only too

    I don't mind what we do either way, but since it's the MMA fantasy league and not the UFC fantasy league, I just assumed we were playing every event. I follow all mma anyway so it's not just the UFC I focus on.
    Even if we do agree to stick to UFC only though, as was said it only takes one person to confuse the results.
    By the way, how long does this run for?

    There's no end as far as I know, we can just decide if we want to end it before the Hendo vs. Jones event in Sept (for example!) and then just create a new league with a new password to reset the points.

    Don't mind either way, we'll go with the majority.

    Ok cool.
    Well maybe if we use this event as the test and if too many people didn't make picks on it, then we reset it and start again with only UFC events?

    Went up 5 places :D
    Had both Main events Cormier and Melendez as decisions and boosted them
    :cool:
    Sickened at Thomson getting robbed though, even though I had Melendez on this I still scored it Thomson.

    I didn't do too bad this time. 5/9 correct. 1 perfect. Got 3/4 boosts right aswell.
    Moved up a place or two.

    Did fairly rubbish in this as expected. Scoring 390 points. -50 twice from 2 incorrect boosts.

    Looking at the picks there for 146 and it's a class card even with all the changes. From top to bottom there's great guys in great match-ups and they're all exciting.

    Was away from PC last week. Annoyed I missed the SF card.

    Just did this weeks pics, looks like a great card. Lots of KOs and few decisions.
    Knock out of the night should be bumped to 100k for this :D

    Just did my picks for this now.
    There was a few fights where I found it hard to pick a winner. I have a feeling that'll come back to bite me!
    I went against the grain and picked Dolloway over Mayhem. I just thimk Mayhems performance was so poor against Bisping and if he comes out like that again I think he's in trouble. I like Mayhem and I'd be happy if he wins but I just think Dolloway will beat him.
    I bet I'll regret that one! :D

    Must have changed around 4 picks since last week. Didn't know Del Rosario was in a bad car accident where he herniated some vertebrae. That'll scare me off ever since Carwin's downward spiral.
    Changed to Struve by Sub aswell because we all know it's going to happen, guy nearly got subbed by Pat Barry ffs.

    Really good week last week... Think when Cormier makes the switch to the UFC he will be a serious force to be reckoned with.

    This week its like KO central for my picks, guaranteed there won't be a single knock out all night though!

    Hardy to win as he is fighting for his career. Looking forward to seeing Brandao in the cage again!
