Armbar Predictions Cup - Update

Updated scores below. to SBGaz who got all the winners right and leads the league. Me and Shanemc have the tightest battle, being even on points after the first 6 fights, but I have used my trump (fucking Lawler!!!). Paddyjock and sunthunder have yet to enter so Paolo_73 and efils_god are effectively getting a bye, unless Paddyjock and sunthunder enter their UFC picks this week and make stunning comebacks.

I will post the official results and the full league table not long after UFC 109. Have a great week!!

I think i should be on 70 pts, Payne said so

Gaz must have called nearly every fight perfectly!

That's a fair effort. I'm only 10 points behind Bulldog. Not too bad at all. I'd be winning only for Lawlor the fluky bastard!

I have SBGaz score at 110 pts when I worked it out.
Ginginho,I'm either doing something wrong while working some of these scores out or you had better re-check them.

110 pts

I think I have it right.

You gave Red 5 points extra for the Walker fight, he got 10 points for the winner and nothing for the method or round.

Lashley won by stoppage, not sub, which is what SBGaz had it down as.

Sorry my mistake.

I miss read SBGaz's lashley prediction.

I was giving Red the correct rd because it went to the 3rd rd and he put down a UD,I thought that maybe decisions predictions mean't that they get the last rd as their rd prediction,rd 3 for normal fights,rd 5 for Title fights.

Carry on,ignore me,15 pts ahead of Red sounds much better

Yeh Payne you got me in big trouble already, im even contemplating picking Coleman


I think i'd rather lose than see "The Natural" lose this fight, whereby no doubt people who'd start saying how overated he is.... etc.

to be fair mate thats an outstanding effort from ya, i woulda thort i woulda been outa sight by now ...

There was a lot of high scores this week actually.

to be fair though the Strikeforce event beforehand was quite easy to pick the winners as the favourites were favourites by quite a margin.

The hardest and most even fight to pick the winner was the Riggs-Heiron fight.
even the Lawler fight was going the way that mostly everyone predicted untill the flash KO.

the next UFC event I think is alot harder to predict the winners.

payne didnt you call no kos on the card and every fight on the main card ended via KO?

i think the aura is gone

25...

Jeeeeez

As the League goes on, I have set it up so that I can establish "promotion champions" ie. the best at picking UFC, Strikeforce, Dream etc. I didn't do it last time but I remember that payne was very good at picking UFCs but chesty was the master of the asian events. Might add a little bit extra.....

He picked every single method of victory correct for Strikeforce


I was clearly way over my head challenging him

no I had all stoppages on the Strikeforce card except the Riggs-Heiron fight,no stoppages on the UFC card is what I've predicted.

"but I remember that payne was very good at picking UFCs"


Oh great, that fills me with more confidence turning this tie around

I'm not so confident on my UFC picks for this one,I've thought about changing a few but you know as soon as I do,I'd be kicking myself when the event ends.

I'm just glad for the 15 pt lead and a trump still to play to be honest.

the aura is back.

"I'm not so confident on my UFC picks for this one,I've thought about changing a few "


There are alot of 50-50 matches at 109, except for the main event. I feel Sonnen should not be overlooked against Nate. Miller could cause an upset, he is BB BJJ so it wont be easy for Maia to sub him. Trigg-Serra can go either way, Paulo-Swick likewise, MacDanzig should not be favourite against anyone in UFC but his opponent is also fairly shit, we havent seen alot from Tuscherer, its Davis UFC debut........


I cant wait for Saturday

Im loosing fairht in Tuscherer after seeing him hit pads, he really cant throw a punch, Very 1 dimentional... I was going to chance my pick but I dont have enough faith in Hague to pick an underdog like him! Im toying with the Idea, Tuscherer can punch for shit looking at his training, and wont have a size advantage in this one...

Hague has quit his job, to concentrate on his MMA career now

Tuscherer might not have good hands but its not like he is fighting a world-class opponent. Hauge is shit on the feet as well, he was getting mauled by Barry and KOed in 7 seconds by Duffee. I think Tush will just outwrestle him to a UD.
