MAIN EVENT – Middleweight Championship (7 points)

‘The All-American’ Chris Weidman © (10-0) vs. ‘The Spider’ Anderson Silva (33-5)

Hardest choice, Weidman was impressive so I am giving him the leg up to keep the title. But I am afraid that Silva actually shows up and schools Weidman.

CO-MAIN EVENT – Women’s Bantamweight Championship (7 points)

‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey © (7-0) vs. ‘Cupcake’ Miesha Tate (13-4)

Tate is the same Tate that got owned last year, I simply can't see her win this time around. If the fight goes to the ground it's over.

Heavyweight Division (4 points)

‘The Warmaster’ Josh Barnett (33-6) vs. ‘Hapa’ Travis Browne (15-1-1)

Another toughie, but I feel Barnett is generally better as a fighter and will beat Browne. Hapa last two fights came from a guy who has a glass chin and a guy who is essentially a gatekeeper.

Lightweight Division (2 points)

Jim Miller (22-4) vs. ‘Morango’ Fabricio Camoes (13-7-1)

Miller to win

PRELIMINARY FIGHT – Middleweight Division (2 points)

‘The Crippler’ Chris Leben (22-10) vs. ‘Prime Time’ Uriah Hall (8-4)

Jesus these guys can't win to save their lives... Leben on virtue of record I guess...

PRELIMINARY FIGHT – Featherweight Division (1 point)

Yay, grinder versus grinder... Siver on record I guess...

When does the next round start?

I'm thinking of starting the second season in February, when the cards are more finalized.

Is it just me or are they booking fights really late compared to last time?

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, YOUR WINNER FOR THE INAUGURAL SEASON OF THE UFC PREDICTION LEAGUE...

HEADCHEESE!!!

And that's that for this season, folks. HeadCheese really looked in bad shape at first, only getting 15 fifteen points for this event and I was sure somebody was going to beat him. If only certain things had been different, like if Gazz had chosen Weidman in the rematch as he had done in the first one, or if Disturbed had gotten just a few more bonus questions right, then things might have been different. On the other end, JHS managed to claw her way out of bottom place to second last, though much of that can also be attributed to Drock no-showing the last two events.

I hope to see all you fine folks again for season 2, which should start up sometime around February, so until then, have a great day, and thanks once again for all the predicting

p.s. Also, I would love some feedback from you guys about how to improve this for next season. Any comment at all would be helpful, thanks
