-This is a thread for MMA predictions only.
-Predictions will be made for each *significant* MMA event. These can range from UFC, Affliction, Strikeforce, WEC, and or any MMA event that has big fights.
-Predictions for an event must include undercard and televised fights.
-Winners will be based off of a point system.
-Predicting the winner of a fight correctly gets you 1 (ONE) point.
-Predicting how the fight ends correctly (with winner) gets you 1 point.
-Predicting when the fight ends correctly (with winner) also gets you 1 point.
-Successfully picking the underdog in a fight gets you 2 points. (Underdog must be at least a 2-1 underdog)
-So a total of 5 points per match can be achieved.
Winners will get spec from everyone. Maybe some prizes in the future.

This week - Strikeforce: Carano vs Cyborg.
I need opinions - should we do prelims or not? (excluding Werdum, for some reason he's a prelim and we can definitely predict for it)

Who knows with the Strikeforce card . . . Babalu may be fighting Cyborg by the end of the week.
