"It's tiiiime for the UFC!" <-- said in your best Bruce Buffer voice So we're 5 days away from The Ultimate Fighter 7 final and it's time for everyone to get their picks in. Of course with one of the TUF finalists to be determined, you’ll have to wait 2 whole freaking days, to see the fight and what the heck happened to that limo!!! I also believe there will be an 11th fight added to the card based on who the runner’s up are so that should be added as well. And of course this is the final Pick’em card for Season 1 of the S2 MMA Pick’em League! Speeds has a 3 point lead over myself for top spot, but there are many other close and interesting battles to be fought. So it’s a minute to go in the 5th round, time to finish strong guy! As usual make sure to pick the winner, the method of victory (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 most likely 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!!!

Oops, guess I posted in the wrong thread last nigh. At least you didn't have to remind me to pick this time CF The order I have the fights in is different than everyone else, I can edit my post to put them in the same order as everyone else if it's easier to score that way.

Here's the TUF 7 finale results: big congrats to Valo35, who exploded on the scene with a big night, blowing everyone else out of the water, getting only 1 pick wrong!! now to see if he can contiue with the beginner's luck Lavalamp decided to join the pool and he's didn't sink at all, tying with Speeds for 2nd overall, he had a fine night himself. (more beginners luck I say ) Of course the Tim Creuder vs Carl Yarbrough fight was cancelled (see the forums for news on that) so I didn't count it in the win loss total. 1. Valo35 35pts 9-1 2. Speeds 17pts 7-3 2. Lavalamp 17 pts 7-3 4. Celtic Fan 16pts 6-4 4. Celtic Kng 16pts 6-4 6. Zae 12 pts 4-6 7. Big Frame 11 6-4 8. Chocolove 10 5-5 I'd really like to have 12+ members for the start of Season 2. So if you know anyone who's into MMA or just getting started, encourage'em to give the pick'em league a try! Check the official standings to see where you finished the first season of the MMA Pick'em league!
they're up and available now thanks to all who took a shot at predicting the fights this year. next season should be very interesting!
That damn Dante Rivera couldn't just lay on Riddle for three rounds like he did everyone else in TUF. What a jerk. That aside, I'm excited for this upcoming season, even if I come in last place on the pick 'em, it should be fun still.
