Winner:

[10 points]

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.

This one's going to be a crap shoot.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Since so many people are waiting to sign up for this, 105 will be the last event of this round.

8 seems like a nice number, anyway.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Of course you would end it on a show where I have no idea which way to go on most fights :p

[RP]

What a shit card this is.

[RP]

I hope Mike Swick ends Dan Hardy's career so i never have to this picture again...

Yeah I totally shit the bed on this one. Good show HBM and Jabba.

The sad thing is the only fight I got right was Couture/Vera and I thought Vera won.
