Notes-

Cymru96, Shelty92, Gazz, MPH and Damshow all got 2perfect predictions.

Only Gazz, Shelty and Beefus scored points off of the Natal vs Kuiper fight.

Gazz and cymru96 were the only people to score points on the main event as everyone else had Diaz finishing Condit.

Only Damshow failed to score on the Poirer vs Holloway fight.

ALSO- When stating that the match will go to decision, you must state whether it will be via unanimous or split decision.

Next fight card will be up soon.

ALSO- When stating that the match will go to decision, you must state whether it will be via unanimous or split decision.

Why? It seems pretty arbitrary to say "state whether its split or unanimous" When you could say "Well its a majority decision or majority draw" just as easily

Basically, if you think it's going to the end, state how it will finish. MPH and Super Daws only said that it would go to decision as opposed to split/unanimous/draw etc.

[Rich]

Well in that case why do you not say "I have it for X by split decision with the judges scoring it 29-28, 30-27 and 28-29)?

[Guest mr. potato head]

"I think this fight will end by unanimous decision 30-27 29-28 29-28 but later be overturned to a no contest when X fails a drug test."

[Gazz]

Why am I so good at prediction contests but rubbish at actual betting?

[Beefus of Bethesda]

>_> Never have I been in a MMA Prediction League where you had to call the type of decision, a decision is a decision.

And Gazz I say the same thing every time I pick a underdog [Werdum over Fedor anybody?] and they win.

[Cymbols]

Fair enough, just decision will suffice from not on then.
