"It's tiiiime for the UFC!" <-- said in your best Bruce Buffer voice So we're 5 days away from UFC 85 and it's time for everyone to get their picks in. as usual make sure to pick the winner, the method of vicotry (Sub, KO, Decision) and the round the fight will end in (except of course for a decision) No championship bouts this time around, so they're all 3 rounders.. hopefully we'll get a couple of undercard fights If your new to the S2 pick'em league and haven't made picks before, here's the rules and format for making your picks http://sportstwo.com/forums/UFC-Pick-em-league-t110826.html Newbies are always welcome to take a shot and join the league. A slight change to the bonus points. With there being 11 fights, I'm giving out 6 bonus points for getting all of the main card bout winners correct and 5 points for getting all 6 of the preliminary bouts correct and if you pick the winner for all 11 bouts, you get 14 bonus points!!! (actually I should probably make that the regular rules as the UFC is having more fights each card ) UFC 85 Bedlam Date: Jun 07, 2008 MAIN CARD Thiago Alves vs. Matt Hughes Michael Bisping vs. Jason Day Marcus Davis vs. Mike Swick Thales Leites vs. Nate Marquardt Brandon Vera vs. Fabricio Werdum PRELIMINARY CARD Martin Kampmann vs. Jorge Rivera Thiago Tavares vs. Matt Wiman Luiz Cane vs. Jason Lambert Kevin Burns vs. Roan Carneiro Jess Liaudin vs. Paul Taylor Eddie Sanchez vs. Antoni Hardonk good luck and get'em in before Saturday afternoon as the fights will be early due to them being in the UK

LOL. I was all set to take Alves, but then I saw some show where he was bopping around South Beach pulling tippity-top-shelf girls by the dozen and I thought "There's no waaaaay this guy is going to have any energy left to fight.". He must be a cyborg .
