    5 days and counting to a very soild UFC card and best of all... IT"S FREE :ghoti:

    Fights are this coming Saturday Oct. 18


    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

    The full card is being posted as it's the UFC, in the event of a last min change, I will post the change in here and if anyone is unable to make the change, the fight will be dropped.
    11 Fights in total, so enter your locks from 1-11, with 11 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:

    -Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben
    -Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou vs. Luiz Cane
    -Keith Jardine vs. Brandon Vera
    -Marcus Davis vs. Paul Kelly
    -Paul Taylor vs. Chris Lytle
    -Akihiro Gono vs. Dan Hardy
    -David Baron vs. Jim Miller
    -Shane Carwin vs. Neil Wain
    -Jess Liaudin vs. David Bielkheden
    -Sammy Schiavo vs. Per Eklund
    -Sam Stout vs. Terry Etim

    This is the 2nd last fight of the Season and top spot and loads of opportunity to make a move in the rankings before the GP begins November 5th.
    Good luck all. :drumroll:

    One of those cards lacking starpower but full of potential.

    The top three fights should all be brawls, and Taylor/Lytle could be a sweet technical kickboxing match.

    I'm skeptical of Marcus Davis' popularity overseas, though, so I wonder why they'd put a ground and pound fighter in Kelly against him.

    I watch the sport casually . . . mostly UFC Unleashed (have it TIVO) . . . burn out on all the repeats. I'm going to predict on names I know and who I like. Hope this doesn't screw up any overall stats.

    -Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben-TKO 3rd round
    -Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou vs. Luiz Cane-KO "of the very first round"
    -Keith Jardine vs. Brandon Vera - TKO 2nd round
    -Marcus Davis vs. Paul Kelly-decision
    -Paul Taylor vs. Chris Lytle-TKO 1st round
    -Akihiro Gono vs. Dan Hardy- sub 1st round
    -David Baron vs. Jim Miller-TKO 3rd round
    -Shane Carwin vs. Neil Wain-KO 1st round
    -Jess Liaudin vs. David Bielkheden- KO 3rd round
    -Sammy Schiavo vs. Per Eklund-KO 3rd round
    -Sam Stout vs. Terry Etim-KO 2nd round

    ^ The league thread is for standings and general news, and each PPV has a dedicated thread for picks, such as this one, where I moved your post to.
