MMA Predictions League - Round 10

Hey fellas

Back again, sorry if I am stealing someones thunder but I thought I would get the latest round out there with time slipping away until the Strikeforce event this weekend. The rules are the same - double points for fights in bold (can't be trumped), don't forget your trumps and for this round, anybody picking Werdum and he wins gets triple points instead of double points. Not that anyone here would be picking him, I reckon

Also, to celebrate the relative success of the NZ football team at the World Cup, there will be a one-off prediction on the ICNZ 145lb title fight this weekend. I know they are not well-known fighters but it is a one-off and there is footage on youtube and they are on Sherdog's fighter stats list, if you want further information. I can't believe they are fighting for a title myself, with the records they have but it shows how small the sport still is in NZ. I am hoping to go along to the event myself but will have to check my finances.

Could the person with the latest version of the spreadsheet let me know. Have fun!! And come on the All Whites!!

In terms of big names on this card, it's really weak because Wandi pulled out but there's going to be some amazing fights. Brawls ahead in Sexy-Leben, Lytle-Brown and Soszynski-Bonnar and Kurt vs George should be a grappling clinic.

Anfield is right, lacking in big names underneath the main event, but it would be great to attend, in addition to what he already said..Karlos Vermola fights like Taz the tazmanian devil
