    after the longest break of the summer, we're back in action and there's 3 events nearly back to back to back so get ready.

    Next up, UFC 88 and it's 5 days away!!

    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/showthread.php?t=116380
    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.


    * Rashad Evans vs. Chuck Liddell
    * Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill
    * FIGHT REMOVED BY UFC.
    * Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar Palhares
    * Martin Kampmann vs. Nate Marquardt
    * Kurt Pellegrino vs. Thiago Tavares
    * Tim Boetsch vs. Mike Patt
    * Matt Brown vs. Dong Hyun Kim
    * Roan Carneiro vs. Ryo Chonan
    * Jason Lambert vs. Jason MacDonald

    We're in the home stretch of season 2 and the Grand Prix will be under way in October, good luck everyone :D

    This is a BRUTAL card for gambling. Very tough fights to call. The televised card is all a toss-up.

    OK so Trench didn't man up and make his own picks..so he copied Speeds? Now...DennisRodman is copying Trench, who copied Speeds?

    Pathetic. Should be disqualified or have your points cut in half for not having a mind of your own.

    Well there isn't a rule against it so I dunno. Kind of funny to see the lame jokes I put in my predictions repeated over and over, though.

    Eh, there is no rule, you're right.

    It's still lame though. It's not like it takes more than 5 minutes to complete your pick'ems.
