    I'll keep an eye on my scores if I'm near the top I'll risk bisping I'd say.

    Bisping

    Gives me the greatest of pleasure to present this events winners trophy to ME!!!!

    the_best_trophy.jpg

    Bisping came through for me big time with a whopping 750 points. I've been a huge fan of his since day one so I'm absolutely made up for him and I could never have picked against him.

    It really was a weird event from a pickem point of view. After 5 fights I think the joint leaders only had 2 picks correct when usually there would be at least one with 4 or 5 out of 5.

    Next event is McDonald vs Wonderboy on the 18th. Its the last event of the bi-monthly period. Lenny17123 wll be hard to catch but he's within reach of anyone in the top 5 if he has a bad one next time out.

    Likewise, flipped the switch after the Hendo fight and said what the hell. I rarely even think about the option being there to go in and change your picks before a fight but I read your post and thought yeah thats not a bad idea..so thanks :D

    Slowly but surely creeping back up the ladder, Gutted Guida couldn't hold out that bit longer & that Casey didnt get the nod would have more than likely snook this event.

    Coulda woulda shoulda :D I am just glad this time I am remembering to do picks, last year I missed a few that really pissed me off as I was doing pretty well like yourself for the top spot and threw it away any chance after missing 2 or 3 picks or only getting in half way through.

    Sign up for UFC rewards and when you make picks among other things you can redeem them for fight pass sub codes, they have actually stopped doing it for one month subs and have started now with 6 months and 1 year so it takes a bit longer to get but obviously then it would be worth it.

    A very strong showing was needed last night to dislodge the period leader, Lenny17123 going into the event and Axwell delivered in fine style. As usual, bonuses and perfects were the deciding factor for the event title.

    Good stuff Axwell.

    That solid win, was enough to catapult him to the top of the bi-monthly leaderboard for the much-coveted period title.

    Well done again Axwell.

    Close run thing last night, with only 50 points seperating the top 4. But with a very impressive 10 correct picks, this events winner is lougal.

    Well done mate.

    Quick turnaround for us now with the TUF 23 finale tonight and UFC 200 tomorrow.

    If you guys could stop banging out 2400+ scores that'd be great. Its really not fair.

    Has everyone ended up with a load of decisions tonight? Am hoping its one of those nights! The tight match up bonus for Choi is a bit ridiculous you wonder who decides which fights get those some times.
