    Nice picks guys, keep up the good work, and keep reminding the person after you to pick. Cheers.

    Quite underrated. Liddell was a bad match-up for him but if you look at what he's done in the last few years, he's got to be one of the top performers in that weight class.

    I knew you'd take Gouveia!
    I'm surprised you passed on Marcus Davis as much as you did [​IMG]

    I'm curious to see if EliteXC is going to match Silva up with Kimbo..

    I don't really have any welterweights.

    Silva vs. Kimbo won't happen. Silva hits like a cannonball, is bigger than Kimbo by a good 30 or more pounds, and has ground skills. Gary Shaw would rather see Kimbo fight a can every three months instead to pad his thin record.

    funny I don't have any MW's it's a shallow pool and I wanted to have an even balance in the other weight classes.

    you're draft was kinda messy to run an org as we part of my original inspiration, but as luck would have it, it'll be really good in the fantasy league as you don't have to set a fight card line up.

    and yeah, most likely Shaw will never let that happen...

    With the exception of one person on my squad, I have made a roster that can make a PPV card down to the last man.

    agreed. Great value there. I kind of forgot about him. I think he could potentially beat 4-5 guys in the top ten of that division.

    nice pick, solid fighter to have this late in the draft.

    I'm gonna go with a top HW Prospect, one who is fighting at UFC 84..

    Shane Carwin!

    He's 8-0 and his longest fight as been 2:11!!!

    ^ Herb Dean looks disappointed in that pic. Almost the same look he gave "Chipper" after his knockout on TUF7.

    I won't be around for the weekend but I gave permission to speeds to pick for me. If he doesn't feel comfortable making the pick please feel free to skip me.
