    5 days and counting until Affliction and 6 days until WEC 38. So instead of making it two events, we're gonna jam them together and have a Monster card. If you're lagging in the standings or want to get started, this could be the card that makes a huge difference in the season. I did drop some of the undercard fights so you're not looking for a bunch of no-names.

    Fights are on Saturday Jan 24th for Affliction and Sunday Jan 25th for WEC.
    Picks for both events are due by Saturday 6 PM EST.


    As always here's a link to the rules etc, http://sportstwo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130404

    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

    It makes my life easier

    Check back a day or two before the fights in case there is 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.

    14 Fights in total, so enter your locks from 1-14, with 14 being your most confident pick and 1 being your least confident.

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

    Here are the fights:
    Affliction 2
    Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski (5 rounds)
    Josh Barnett vs. Gilbert Yvel
    Renato Sobral vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
    Matt Lindland vs. Vitor Belfort
    removed due to last minute change
    Paul Buentello vs. Kirill Sidelnikov
    Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
    Jay Hieron vs. Jason High


    WEC 38
    Jamie Varner vs. Donald Cerrone (5 rounds)
    Urijah Faber vs. Jens Pulver
    Danillo Villefort vs. Mike Campbell
    Jose Aldo vs. Rolando Perez
    Benson Henderson vs. Anthony Njokuani
    Hiromitsu Miura vs. Edgar Garcia

    Post your picks in this thread. They are due by 6PM EST on Saturday please.

    WEC on a Sunday... little different. I'm used to mid-week.

    Did anyone catch the live stream of Banned last night? President Tom had a live chat which was mildly interesting. Says he plans on doing four Affliction PPV's in 2009 along with ten co-promoted shows with M-1, though my guess is those will be international.

    Chris Horodecki is out, so anyone who picked in his fight should re-pick.

    The new fight is Bobby Green vs. Dan Lauzon.

    I've removed the Horodecki fight. That way ppl who have their picks in don't have to make the change since it is so last minute.

    Anyone just submitting your picks, adjust your lock picks 1-13 instead of 14.
