(can you use a Trump for fight or the night/ko/sub?)And Fuck it im going to stick my neck on the line and go against Tuchs he doesnt look to be able to punch for shit and I think Hague will give him all sorts of trouble, Hague TKO 2nd, Aslo going to chance Serra to win by UD not KO... I dont think Serra has enough in him to finish Trigg and I think it might not be as 1 sided as I oringinally thought... could end up regretting that one if Trigg perfroms like his last outting... guy looked lost!

I think I'll keep the Gracie fight as a scoring fight as everyone has picked him to win anyway so feel free to trump it.

I hadn't considered using the trump for fight/sub/ko of the night but it would be pointless to put there as you could only get a max of 20 points rather than 40. But, and this might happen next round as some people have already used their trump this round, if you trump a fight and also call it as one or two of the special awards, I will double the bonus points meaning you could get a maximum of 80 points for one fight.

What do you guys reckon?

Yeah as long as it starts next round lol

As I also blew mine on manhoef

So did I so there's pretty much no chance of it happening this round

I already used by Trump on Guyborg but I still pick Rolles to beat Beltran.

I like the idea for FOTN etc, sounds good.

I also continue to pick Rolles to win, but my trump is elsewhere.

Like the idea dude.

With regards to the Gracie fight, I've selected Gracie, will keep selection and method.

Not to sure about the new Idea.
I think it's too many bonus pts on offer,when the idea is to get the most correct predictions.

Say you have a 10 fight card,you could end up with one person only getting 2 fights correct(the main event + this new trump rule)and they get 130 pts,yet somebody else could pick 8 correct winners and still lose.

I personally think double pts just for the main event and double pts for your trump are enough bonus pts to give out.

At the moment there are 70 bonus pts to play for,20 main event,20 trump and 10 each for FOTN ect,which puts more on getting as many correct as possible,doing it the new way would mean there are 150 bonus pts on offer,meaning you could get a lot less correct than your opponent but still win.

Yeah I agree Payne.. too many bonus points makes too much random luck, Most points should be for calling the winner/method/round

Close one in the first leg Chelsea, best of luck in the next one but...

Haha cheers mate, it was a great first round but im making my comeback next round.

Good luck Payne


I'm going to be throwing everything including the kitchen sink at you this round. I'm hoping Joey Beltran can help me turn this tie around. I will finalise my picks after i watch the weigh-ins tonight.


I wasnt on chatbox last week but barring any connection problems, i should be on tomorrow.


War Joey

brilliant avatar red

Thanks



Nasty isnt it, the right hand separated him from his consiousness, but legs didnt completely give way, and just sat up perfectly for a powerfull kick in the face. His face in the end is quite horrific to at.

Nasty alright, although if past experience has thought me anything I wouldn't rule him out just yet. I've seen the Undertaker at that sort of malarkey:

Haha Brilliant

Good luck to you too mate

I'm still tempted to make a few changes also,but we will see

We saw you were online during the Strikeforce event,wondered why you never came on the chat box.Hopefully see you on there this week.

I fell asleep with my laptop still working


Will manage my sleeping pattern better next time.

The avatar is great Red as already stated the face is even more shoop worthy than Rashad & Babalu.

Yeah the closeup of Babulu being KO'ed is also nasty, someone should put that in their avatar also.
