    The punches, knees, takedowns and submissions keep on coming this summer as UFC 87 is in 5 days!!

    Get you thinking caps on for one of the best cards of the year and one of the harder cards to pick too IMO.

    As always here's a link to the rules etc, http://sportstwo.com/forums/MMA-Pickem-lea...as-t116833.html
    Please follow the format that the example has for making your picks.
    Lock - Fighter - Method - round
    11 - B.J. Penn - Sub - Rd2
    10 - Lyoto Machida - Dec
    8 - Wanderlei Silva - KO - Rd3

    There are 10 fights on this card so locks should be ordered from 1-10.


    New comers are always welcome to join the league and make some predictions.


    Don't forget GSP vs Fitch is a 5 round title match [​IMG]

    Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch (for welterweight title)

    ZAE is the only one to pick Herring.

    I would like to see Kongo and Ben Saunders' fights from the undercard.

    Heartbreaker, I know. I just didn't think Roger had anything for Ken-Flo, and I guess that was the case in the end.

    Looks like Dana isn't giving Kenny the "number one contender" status, though.

    I feel bad for Roger!
