    Haha jokes on me I guess..just did my picks. Wasn't planning on staying up anyway.

    Won't be watching it myself but there's a couple of interesting fights, not worth being wrecked in work on Monday though!

    To be honest it wasn't even worth being wrecked on a Sunday in my eyes. Some potentially good fights but can't handle the regular 5 or 6am finishes anymore. Unless it's a big event.

    Same. This is either going to go very well or very, very badly for me.

    10 correct picks is me anyway could have been even better had Reneau got the decision also Riggs/Camozzi don't rate either knew one would be a big letdown gambled with Riggs

    A tie for first place after last nights event.

    Well done Wrongway1985 & Mr. Manager. Honours even between ye. Good pickin!

    the_best_trophy.jpg

    Second time on top for Wrongway1985. When he's on form he's on form!!! On the other side of the coin, when he misses, he crashes out in spectacular style. Only messing mate, WELL DONE!!

    Next weeks event (Bisping vs Silva) will be the last for this period and we will have our first bi-monthly winner. Depending on results, its realistically within reach of anyone in the top 5 or 6, and anyone else in the top ten has a decent outside shot at it if a few of the top boys have a howler!!!

    As always, check yere picks as close as possible to the actual event. I noticed a few regulars didn't get their picks in this week. Nothing worse than missing out because you forgot to click ''SAVE''.

    Same here. I getting a decent enough amount of winners on average per event. But the have only 6 perfects so far.

    Picking the round and/or the MOV is where the big points are.

    If it's any consolation, I may as well not have.

    Although I expect to really hit form the last week of December:pac:

    Pffft. Until you earn the trophy for No. 1 pick in the world you can't moan about previous form :p



















    In case it was unclear I won that trophy last year :D

    I'd recommend everyone picks 3 or 4 events at a time. It only takes a few minutes. That way, if you've forgotten to do your picks the night before at least you'll have provisional picks done - I understand fights change in the weeks coming upto fights but getting some points is still better than getting zero points.

    Missing on Teymur probably cost you a few points but doubt many points from the other two early fights. Guessing Khab decision was a pretty popular pick.
