Hi MMA Fans:

Time to put your prognosticating skills to the test for the upcoming UFC 112. 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 fight card changes, those changed bout(s) will not count in the contest. No editing of posts for any reason!
