MMA Predictions League - Round 16

Another week and another round. Dream 16 and UFC 119 both covered. The UFC debut of Mark Hunt is the big fight for me personally this week and I have resisted the urge to make him losing by submission a void result or adding any bonuses to it. I seriously hope he doesn't get wrestlefucked to defeat This will also be the next round of the Cups. Good luck with your sig/av bets too... Can't wait to see the outcomes

If there are any changes to the cards, let me know.

Covering my bases with the Mir/CroCop fight, have a feeling that my heart may be ruling my head.

Read this somewhere, not sure if anyone can confirm it thought so we can change the fight will take place rather than minowa-thompson....?

According to NightmareOfBattle.com Ikuhisa Minowa has confirmed on his website that he will fight Olympic Gold Medal-winning Judoka and Sengoku HW Satoshi Ishii and not James Thompson at Dream 16 on Friday night/Saturday morning.

Looks like you're right.

Minowaman vs Ishii is confirmed now instead of thomspson. Its good because we get to see a better, more competitive fight on paper but it makes my prediction a whole lot harder.

I was aware of that, thought I'd chance it though. I was going to put it on Hansen but changed it at the last minute. Either way I'd have picked the correct winner but wrong method.
