    Also had him from decision myself, don't want to chance betting on my picks because I'd rather have bragging rights on boards than money.

    No worries. Soak it up while I'm unemployed and don't mind messing about on excel in my spare time.

    Just reminding people who have already picked that the main event has changed and Magny is in against Silva so youll need to make your pick again.

    Don't forget to get your picks in for Holloway v Oliveira lads! It's a Sunday night card so in order to predict the full card, predictions can be made up until 11pm on Sunday night I believe.

    I'm pretty sure you can alter your picks right upto the time of the fight. I've often had a change of heart while watching the event. So in that case if you've forgotten to do your picks and you've missed the first few fights at least you can pick for the remaining fights .

    Ah, that's correct. Apologies. You can alter them for a specific fight right up until said fight starts.

    Changed my Létourneau pick due to the state she was in at the weigh-ins. I should have left it alone as it would have been a perfect!

    7/12 picks, 4 bonuses and 2 perfects (Cirkunov and Magny). Happy with that despite the above.

    I wonder if Cereal is around to do an updated table? :D

    It's reset at the end of the year so for the first card of 2016 everyone goes back to zero.

    Since we started on August 1st 2015 I was hoping we could go until the nearest event to that exactly one year later in 2016 before resetting/starting afresh.

    Hoki above says it resets automatically for the first fight card of 2016 though. Probably no harm either as it may keep interest up. So I guess the last event is dos Anjos v Cerrone 2 on December 19th, with coincidentally our first event of the next run being Ronda again. :)

    Cool, thanks, end of the year is the best way to do it. I'd bet there will be even more people joining the next one. Great craic.

    Cheers for that Paully. I've been away the past few days so didn't get a chance to do it.

    Probably won't get a chance to update the list for the next event either so I'll leave that to you, again :)

    I think it's a great addition to my ufc events, after the Holloway fight I was refreshing my browser like a mental case for the final score updates, when I seen ASOT had nipped me at the post and won I was genuinely disappointed.

    Sad I know...

    Good recovery after my last failed outing. Took a gamble on chambers for the big points. Would have been almost perfect had I not been greedy.
