    FYI, the Avenas/Knabjin fight has been cancelled, not sure why though.
    I'll adjust the lock orders later.

    Is it my imagination or is Big Frame's lock order not really done?

    LOL I think he didn't really know who to lock in so he did it that way.

    Mamba's is nearly the same.

    It makes sense you'd be more confident calling fights for fighters you're familiar with, just funny to see it listed like that.

    Also, sorry for putting your name in red, I didn't realize we were colouring the names according to rank.

    WOW... That's all I can say.. if you thought the fights on the WEC were good.. man o man we had a head to head here that I would call epic.

    First off congrats to Black Mamba as he's off to the Finals next Wednesday. He defeated Big Frame 74-55 as BF took a few chances on the main card and it stung him.

    Now for the other semi-final.. which was insanely close.. Hell, let me break it down for you.

    10-Miguel Torres-Sub-2
    8-Brian Bowles-Sub-2
    6-Wagnney Fabiano-Sub-3
    9-Joseph Benavidez-Sub-1
    1-Hiroyuki Takaya-KO-1
    7-Johnny Hendricks-KO-1
    5-Mark Munoz-KO-1
    3-Shane Roller-Dec-3
    4-Bart Palaszewski-Dec-3
    2-Cole Province-Sub-2

    10. Miguel Torres-RD 2-TKO
    9. Brian Bowles- RD 2- Submission
    1.Wagnney Fabiano-rd 1-TKO
    2. Joseph Benavidez-RD 2-TKO
    5. Cub Swanson-decision
    6. Johnny Hendricks-rd 2-TKO
    8. Mark Munoz-rd 1-TKO
    7. Mike Budnik-rd 2-submission
    4. Alex Karalexis-decision
    3. Diego Nunes-RD 2-TKO

    -So after the Diego Nunes Dec win it's 6-0 Valo
    -After the Bart Palaszewski KO it's 7-6 for Celtic Fan
    -Shane Roller Subs Mike Budnik and the lead for me goes to 13-6
    -in the easiest call of the night Mark (going to the UFC) Munoz, wins by KO and it's 27- 23 Celtic Fan
    - Johny Hendricks finishes Haskins in the 2nd round like Valo predicted it's 40-38 Celtic Fan
    - Cub Swanson wins a close decision, my gut feeling fails and Valo35 takes the lead 52-40
    - 4 fights to go...
    - Joseph Benavidez wins a convincing decision looking really good, my high lock gets me closer 57-52 Valo
    - Wagney Fabiano Subs tough Japanese fighter Akitoshi Tamura in the 3rd and I nail the pick. Valo has a low lock for this pick and hit hurts him 67-61 Celtic fan
    - Valo and I had the same pick for the Bowles/Ribeiro fight and had 9&8 locks 81-76 Celtic Fan
    So it's down to the last fight, I have a persumably safe 5 point lead... BUT, Valo nails the Miguel Torres fight to a T and earns a perfect 19 points.. he now has 95 points!!! Luckily I didn't get the method, but I did get the round correct, earning me 3 points for the win, 3 points for the round and 10 points for the lock giving me a grand total of 97 points!!

    It just does not get much closer than that!!

    Celtic Fan defeats Valo35 97-95 in one for the books!

    Great fight Valo.. you da man!

    The Finals are Black Mamba vs Celtic Fan (aka Lakers vs Celtics :D)

    That really is close, I wasn't sure about alot of the fights on there I just picked something.

    It's weird, the WEC cards are for sure the ones that I have done the best on this year. If I did as good on the UFC cards as the WEC cards I could have had alot more points in the regular season. Wouldn't have helped me any come grand prix time, but would have made my regular season stats look nicer...
