When they all come in, I’ll reveal my picking secrets
I’ll take: Holloway, Gadelha, Belfort, Bamgbose, Silva, Moraes, Carlos Junior, Eduardo, Kelleher, Moyle, Wellhead, Alcantra Figueiredo
I won’t be able to watch tonight because I’ll be at the Angels versus Twins game, but I’ll make some picks anyway.
Holloway
Gadelha
Belfort
Bamgbose - Looks like very little chance this’ll go to the judges
Silva - most likely by submission
Moraes
Carlos Junior
Lopez - a win should get him in the official rankings
Alcantara
Pereira
Chagas
Figueiredo
Looks like we picked against each other for the majority of the fights. If your picks clobber mine I’ll be demanding a recount. LOL
My picks
Holloway
Kowalkiewicz
Belfort
Borrachinha
Silva
Moraes
Spicely
Eduardo
Alcântara
Borrachinha is a killer.
Borrachinha is a monster. Can’t believe that guy is onlyy 180. Feel kinda bad for Bamgbose.
I got Belfort in the next fight.
The fights in Brazil. But still, Belfort should of done more... Still may get the decision, but didn’t deserve it.
Belfort wins a unanimous decision, his first decision in the UFC, last decision was 10 years ago.
Sounds like he’s not retiring.
Holloway knocks down Aldo in Round 3, grounds and pounds, McCarthy stops it!
Results
Dad 8-4
Bob 7-5
Stonewall 6-6
Chris 3-0
Impy 3-6
Vic 1-0
nah i just pick ever other one- sound picking policy lol- i don’t know hardly any of the fighters in that list- I gotta start watching more fights- but the trend I’m seeing lately is fighters going to the ground a lot- not crazy about ground fighters unless they are supremely skilled like gracie or some of the other insanely talented ground fighters- it just seems ot me the tough guy factor isn’t quite as prevalent as it used to be- but maybe it is- and I’m just not seeing those fights much
UFC Fight Night Hunt V. Lewis on now, Live from New Zealand, I was confused about the time! It’s afternoon there now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_Fight_Night:_Lewis_vs._Hunt
Ross Pearson just got KOed by Dan Hooker
2 fights left,
Derek Brunson v. Dan Kelly and Derrick Lewis vs. Mark Hunt
I’ll take Kelly and Lewis.
Main event should be good.
I’ll also go with Lewis and Kelly, shoot I didn’t know about this card :O
That’s a big nope on Kelly.
Total Judo fail!
Why did I take Kelly? I call a mulligan!
Well I looked at each fighter’s record. I thought Kelly’s Judo skills would trump Brunson’s power.
WHOOPS! Son of a!
