***The Official MMA *Predictions* Thread***

[Knippz]

-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)

[Sooner_Bob]

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