Method:

*(T)KO: (Round) (Head kick, Ground strikes, etc etc)

Submission: (Round) (Arm bar, Heel hook, etc etc)

Decision: (Unanimous, Split, Majority) (Judge's Scorecards)

[5 points for method, and 5 bonus for each detail in brackets. 15 total]

------------

In the event of a draw, disqualification, or last minute fighter replacement, the fight will not be calculated.

------------

*KO & TKO will be considered one option, as there is sometimes trouble distinguishing between the two. So if you choose TKO, and the result is KO, or vice versa, you will still be awarded points.

If you simply list "Strikes" as your KO or (T)KO method, the stoppage must come due to more than one type of strike. However, choosing "Ground Strikes" will be rewarded regardless of the variety of strikes landed on the ground.

[The Show Off]

Also, fuck you Showoff :mad:

I haven't made my picks final, but you'll have a chance of closing the gap. We'll disagree on at least one pick, maybe two.

[RP]

If Nogueira is 33 then i'm 15


BTW. When he wins, it will be the win that puts me at the top since everyone is picking RANNNNNNDYYYYYY

[Impact!]

I picked Nog

[RP]

you're done IMPACT. YOU HAVE NO CHANCE THATS WHAY YOU GOT!

[RP]

lol you picked Vera. He's just gunna stand against the cage and play defense. Bad pick.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

That's actually the very reason I picked Vera :o

I think Krystoff will try to stand with him, and he'll land a few good bombs but overall Vera will look cleaner and pick up the judges decision.

[RP]

I know nothing about Krystoff tbh. I just know that its about time Vera gets knocked the fuck out with that boring ass fighting he does.

[Impact!]

IT'S ON RP!

Also I dunno Krystoff is good, but I think as long as Vera has his head in the game he should get the win...though if Krystoff is smart and takes it straight to the ground he should have a solid chance...dunno

[Impact!]

So basically we agree on Big Nog and Leben, and it's WAR with everything else :p

If you're right with all your picks you will easily leap frog me for the lead, you and I only agree that Leben will win. Everyone else we disagree...

Of course if I'm right with all my picks I'll take a commanding lead.

Eventually I have to come down to earth and get back to making crappy picks, perhaps 102 is when I come back to earth.

[RP]

I'm probably ordering this one cause i need something to take my mind off of things right now.

[redoneja]

I'm not in this, but if anyone picked Soszynski, they should put kimura as the method. It's his favorite hold and he's won 3 out of his last 4 fights with it.
