UFC Pickem: Boards league 2018

jimmii

And just like that we're all on zero again!

First event is this weekend looks like a slow start to the year ahead of 220 the weekend after where we get to see if Ngannou is as good as they say he is!

My new years resolution is to bank a couple more of these :pac:

League http://bit.ly/2qR2qru

I'm opening the year with decisions in the first 11 fights! Dana wouldn't like that :pac:

amorgan

Looking forward to another fun league! I need one of those trophies, very impressive.

Surely you don't have stephens/superboy as a decision?? Shame it's a Sunday night card, can't be doing 6am with work on. I love tomorrow's card, I have almost no interest in 220 outside the title fights really

tusk

Just joined. Never played before, but looking forward to it.

No just the first 11 fights went early finishes in the last two of the night just to make him happy again! Although assume just last now after what happened to Hall.

Its a fun game and definitely makes the early fights on cards a lot more interesting. It also helps you have a better depth of knowledge of fighters too.

Looks like Swashbuckler has given us a head start this year!

jimmii

Axwell totally bossed this week!

jimmii

Just seen Axwell topped the table after the first event last year too! It's all down hill from here on now :pac:

Yeah yeah, you know right well the only reason I abandoned last season was the facebook fiasco.
I mentally did picks for the rest of the year and beat you by 50 points in the end

Swashbuckler

I done fu*ked up and missed the thread and event

jimmii

Just watched the Usman fight. If that's him at 30% health that's pretty bloody scary! Certainly didnt look like someone at 30% seemed to be in some condition.

jimmii

I've gone for 5 finishes from the last 7 fights this weekend looks like it could be an action packed finish to the night!!

jimmii

Late reminder for tonight's fight night!! First fight is live now.

Axwell

Feck it, didnt know there was an event on tonight and missed the first 2 fights..:mad:

Cant tell if its that the trophy is small or you are just so far away back there in the league table

Its as big as your chances of beating me at the end of the year.

Axwell

Must be pretty big so, ill put it down to you being far away. Hopefully there wont be a facebook login issue to save you this year. I already missed 2 fights as well giving you a chance and you didnt take it..

*thrash talking now while i can*

Bonus reminder that it's in Brazil, so don't pick a decision against them.

Dam wish I had thought of that!

Axwell

Awful return at the last event, they really are flooding the calendar with crap events that I have no interest in watching. Have to keep an eye out for them to make picks and then I end up not even watching the event. Used to be I would watch every event no matter what, now I just cant keep up.

They really are its like they are just trying to fill as much airtime as possible. For every "star" who emerges from doing a few of these events you have a couple of hundred journeymen pros who are never going to go beyond 20/20 fighters. It was set up to be the Premier League but now a lot of it is league 2.

Reminder for Rockhold vs Romero

Reminder for Cerrone vs Medeiros

Yeah it's pretty straightforward you just pick winner method and round and then watch as the other guy wins a dodgy decision despite getting smacked around the place for 15 minutes :pac:

John_D80

Holy Jesus. Last night was probably my worst ever performance for a single event.

Took a fair old hammering.

jimmii

Reminder for Emnet vs Stephens. I'm sure we're all staying up this one :pac:

That's not so bad then I just assumed it was a 6pm est jobby.

jimmii

Impressive night from Davy! 2265 from that card was pretty dam good!

jimmii

Heres how the top 5 looks after 7 events:



Up next a main event where cyborgs opponent doesn't even have an image on pick em. I wonder how that one will go down....

I take the blame for that. I feel like I set an impossibly high standard for mere mortals to replicate when I was administering the league.

Still though, he could at least make a bloody effort.
