[Rich]

In for both, contemplating getting up at 3 AM for DREAM.

I am hoping it'll be a good card Bibiano vs Hansen should be fun, and seeing Josh "I have never taken steroids" Barnett is always a good crack.

[Rich]

Here are your cards for the weekend guys... I would like them by 00:00 PST as Friday turns to Saturday please, I am busy until Sunday from Friday morning with my grandma's funeral and then on Saturday through to Sunday i am going away and getting drunk with friends so H2H's will be up Sunday, and will no doubt be up AFTER Dream, so don't get worried, I'll have them up and then do results on Monday. I will send my DREAM picks to one of you guys so you know I am not cheating So a volunteer for that please, I will send it out via PM on Thursday (Y).. Oh and signups are still OPEN

Anyway...

DREAM 13

Champ Bibiano Fernandes vs. Joachim Hansen (for DREAM featherweight title)

Josh Barnett vs. Siala "Mighty Mo" Siligia*

Cole Escovedo vs. Yoshiro Maeda

Kuniyoshi Hironaka vs. Katsunori Kikuno

Andre "Dida" Amade vs. K.J. Noons

Ryo Chonan vs. Andrews Nakahara

Jimmy Ambriz vs. Ikuhisa Minowa

* - Not officially announced

Notes: I will keep an eye on the card and let everybody know about any card changes.

Remember that DREAM cards are Japanese so have the "TOP 3" multiplier, and having different rules, there are only 2 rounds, one 10 mins, the second 5 mins, so that is only worth 2 points for guessing a correct round.

Fighter of the night will be crowned the first DREAM champion.

UFC on Versus 1

* Jon Jones vs. Brandon Vera

* Junior Dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga

* Paul Buentello vs. Cheick Kongo

* James Irvin vs. Alessio Sakara

* Shannon Gugerty vs. Clay Guida

* Eliot Marshall vs. Vladimir Matyushenko

* Darren Elkins vs. Duane "Bang" Ludwig

* John Howard vs. Daniel Roberts

* Chase Gormley vs. Brendan Schaub

* Julio Paulino vs. Mike Pierce

* Jason Brilz vs. Eric Schafer

Good luck guys (Y)

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Looks like more close battles.

[EddieG]

Woo woo woo, tonight will be the first time I get to watch MMA Live on an actual tv. Can't wait to see me get not a single prediction right.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Actually EWB as a whole is alarmingly similar. We all picked Jones and Dos Santos, 6/8 picked Kongo and Irvin, all picked Guida (7/8 via decision), all picked Pierce...

[Rich]

I really didn't put much though in to my picks this week, i haven't had the time available to commit and since i normally lose i went with my gut feelings.

At the end of the day, going back and looking at the previous events the differences come down to rounds and methods more than anything. Sengoku and WEC were really close last time, and I think people are learning quickly how to make their picks, plus those guys we all seem to pick are overwhelming favourites, and the reason i didn't chose Vera is because I personally don't really rate the guy that highly.

On when i will get the results done... UFC should be done tomorrow, Dream by the end of tuesday, with sign ups for UFC 111 there after. I have made the decision to fore go the Challenger Series for the time being if there are no objections. the fighters are less well known by people, and to be honest i didn't even watch the last card, it sounded dull thankfully. It reduces my work load, and right now I am not sure if I may have to hand the reigns to someone else for a few weeks in the summer as I may be away.but I will let everybody know the situation as soon as I have my plans confirmed. Hope you all enjoy doing this, and if you think somebody else would enjoy it, let them know and get them involved .

[EddieG]

My prelim picks were pretty damn good.

EDIT: And 1/1 out on the main card.

Edited March 22, 2010 by Eddie 'AW' G

[reyrey619]

Lol at me and MPH having the same winners, the same top 3, and only 3 different outcomes for DREAM. This card was (presumably) way too predictable.

[Rich]

UFC on Versus 1 was a brilliant card, a little bit marred by eye shots and the like but there is no doubt that Jonny “Bones” Jones showed himself to be the real deal with his win over Brandon Vera. In the EWB FC we saw an exciting evening, we saw the crowning of a new UFC champion and the breaking of the longest losing streak in the EWB FC (mine )...

With that in mind:

On a more positive note sign ups for UFC 111 and Ultimate Fight Night 21 are open guys (Y)

I won, I won.

Count me in for both.
