Had Joe Lauzon by decision and I think he should have won it on the judge's scorecard tbh Oh well, happy to get another victory!

That was very unfortunate. I definitely think Joe won that fight.

I have the most wins..jimmi is just lucky but that luck is about to run out

Lucky there's no worthy challengers out there and I'm going to cruise to the title. Wins for show titles for dough.

1000 point penalty if the first fight doesn't start at precisely 4:45 pm.

Wrongway1985

Right I'm doing shocking (without no 1000 penalty ) so gone Gung Ho on Jan to upset Gus

jimmii

Got a perfect on the main to salvage it somewhat! Good man Josh!

Podge2k7

Made my picks a couple of days ago and definitely saved it, checked it just there and it said I didnt make any picks. Balls!

John_D80

There was a few tough calls there last night and a lot of relatively unknown fighters so anyone that got a 7 or 8 picks did very well IMO.

Top man on the night though was Hoki. Well done mate.



Perennial runner-up Swashbuckler isn't bucking the trend and secures himself ANOTHER top 5 finish (2nd this time), keeping him firmly at the top of the overall table. Good going for a guy that hasn't won an event yet.

Swashbuckler

Always the bridesmaid!

You better get used to that. Your time is coming to an end.

Haha. You've been threatening that for a while now but I'm hanging in there.

Just letting you have your time in the limelight a bit longer to be nice. I'm sound like that.

Wrongway1985

Anyone go for the CM Punk chap? :rolleyes:

John_D80

Reminder for tomorrow night. Get yer picks in.

Axwell

All or nothing, just flipped to Overeem with the KO instead of Miocic..

Had Overeem as well, the three in a row and perfect 10/10 was on, ah well.

jimmii

Boom! Bossed it tonight!

John_D80

9 out of ten correct picks with 4 perfects put jimmii over 350 points ahead of his nearest rival last night and makes him this events winner. He also managed to narrow the gap with Swashbuckler at the top of the overall standings to just 135 points.

Well done!!

jimmii

Is that the biggest margin of victory we've had?

Dont think so. One week a few months ago someone got all their picks correct and ended up 7 or 8 hundred points clear from what i remember.

Feckers!

Wrongway1985

Checked my score abysmal and to make matters worse had Gall by R1 sub but nope apparently I inputted CM Punk to win some way Christ on a bike. When it goes bad for me it really does...

Swashbuckler

Getting real interesting at the top now.....average night for me.

Didn't even spot the draw, was wondering how i was so high up the leaderboard!

John_D80

Very well done to last nights winner Hoki. 8 from 12 was a very respectable showing.



There was a lot of tough picks last night. Some of the fights that were almost walkovers with the bookies were actually a lot tougher to call than we would have thought.

Porthallian

Never EVER use your phone for Fight Picks, clicked Save but obviously didn't work and lost out on about 1000 points

Had Dunham, Makhachev, Skelly and Muhammed but only shows 5 picks. Ragened!

lesson learned.

jimmii

Weird I almost always use my phone for it!

Hoki

Same here, haven't had any issues with it yet anyway!

Porthallian

Maybe just mine then. First time I ever used my phone for picks as I was travelling and they didn't save.

John_D80

Reminder for tomorrow night.

jimmii

Anyone tempted by the 400 pointer? I presume there are people who take a punt on all of them!

Slightly due to the fact that Cyborg damn near kills herself trying to make a stupid weight.
But she's just too damn good!!
I know its in Brazil but I have a crazy amount of SUB predictions...

Go for it jimmii

Wrongway1985

I'm thinking some dodgy decisions in favour of Brazilian fighters

Yeh that cut is horrible it will surely catch up with her at some point.

John_D80

Guys for the purpose of transparency, could the undermentioned pickers post their boards usernames here please?

Unless we know that people are actually members of boards.ie then they wont be eligible to named as winners of any event/period/year titles should they score highest, and the title will pass to the next highest scorer.

-50shades (I think you may have identified yourself before but cant find the post, sorry)

Thanks lads.

Hoki

tuaman2004 just magically appeared a place above above me last week! Just when I was about to crack the top 10 :pac:

Yeah romours on the circuit are that jimmii and csallmighty are desperately running multiple accounts to try and catch me.

Axwell

Havent been able to watch the card tonight but checked in on my scores...not having a good night at all!

jimmii

Log in see 2870 and think surely that's enough to go top! Dam you Swashbuckler dam you!

John_D80

It all came down to bonuses and perfects last night. 8 people got 9 out of 13 picks correct but the two that seperated themselves from the rest of the field were Wrongway1985 & jimmii with a score of 2870, making them joint winners for this event.

Well done lads.



I'm guessing neither of ye filled in the tie breaker section when ye were making yere picks!!!
