    Are you ready for some free fights on CBS?!?! are you ready to watch the street certified MMA fighter know as Kimbo 'fight a can'.. I mean "Do his thang?"

    Fights are this coming Saturday Oct. 4


    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

    I am just doing the main card and the swing bout as the undercard is full of 'who is that?'
    So enter your locks from 1-6, with 6 being your most confident pick and 1 being your least confident.

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

    The Fights:

    Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson vs. Ken Shamrock
    Jake Shields (#5 Welterweight in the World)* vs. Paul Daley
    Andre Arlovski (#4 Heavyweight in the World)* vs. Roy Nelson
    Gina Carano vs. Kelly Kobald
    Benji Radach vs. Murilo "Ninja" Rua
    Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos vs. Yoko Takahashi


    Good luck to all. Season 2 is winding down!!

    The two fights I care about are Kimbo vs. Shamrock, and Arlovski vs Nelson. I see Kimbo KOing old craptastic Shamrock in rd1. I see can't see Nelson having the cardio to strike with Arlovski for long KO rd 1 as well, Arlovksi has a height advantage which should help for striking.

    3 Ken Shamrock-Sub Round 1
    6 Jake Shields-KO round 2
    5Andre Arlovski-KO round 1
    2Gina Carano- Decision
    4Murilo "Ninja" Rua-KO round 3
    1Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos-Decision

    I think Shamrock is gonna get cocky and try to strike with Kimbo but hopefully after he eats a few shots(and doesnt get KO'ed) he'll try to take advantage of his ground skills.

    I really want to pick Ken Shamrock to beat Kimbo but I think Kenny's ego will get the better of him and he'll wind up trying to box with him and get KTFO.


    3 Kimbo Slice, KO, R1
    2 Andrei Arlovski, KO, R2
    5 Jake Shields, Sub, R1
    6 Gina Carano, KO, R2
    4 Ninja Rua, Sub, R2
    1 Cyborg Santos, KO, R3

    Somebody needs to explain to me how Gina Carano can lose 1.75lbs on the scales between weighing-in nude the second and third times. Please provide pictures.

    Also, Kenny is pretty trim at 206. Hopefully he's strong enough to get Kimbo to the ground.

    There you go Celtic Fan. ;)

    GO SHAMROCK


    Even though I love Kimbo as a fighter, I think Shamrock needs this win, and Kimbo needs to taste a loss, to be able to advance to the next level and go unbeaten for another 10 or so fights.
