Thread: UFC 111 Prediction Station (MMA-T invite to winner)

EDIT: WINNER IS CHIFENTH!

Hi Everyone:

I thought it would be a fun topic for MMA fans to put their prognosticating skills to the test for the upcoming UFC 111. To sweeten the pot, I am putting up an invite to MMA-T for the winner. Even if you are not interested in the invite, I encourage you to participate since it will be more fun if there is a lot of entries and you will get all-important bragging rights! I will tally the scores post-event and post the winner here. If the card is changed (fighter pulls out or similar) after your picks, you can repick the affected fight(s) in a new post so long as you do it before the deadline. No editing of posts for any reason!

DEADLINE FOR PICKS: 8:00pm (GMT-5) on 3/27.



Here are the contest details:

You can receive up to 5 points per bout for a total of 35 points. Only pick the bouts listed below. Tiebreakers: more winners correct, then more methods correct, then more rounds correct.

3 points if you correctly pick the winner of the fight.
1 point to pick the round of victory *
1 point to pick the method of victory

* If an entrant picked "decision" as method and the fight is stopped in the final round, no point is awarded. If an entrant picked KO or SUBMISSION in the final round and the fight goes to decision, no point is awarded.

Maximum 5 points per fight.

Rounds: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 (5 for championship 3 for normal)
