UFC 69 Picks Contest

[Alexander]

Between Couture over Sylvia(in dominating fashion), Diaz over Gomi, Serra over GSP, and a few others I can't think of, I'm befuddled. Never has MMA been so unpredictable. I know I've been saying that a lot lately, but I just can't get over how unpredictable every fight is. At least now everyone that thinks GSP is p4p better than Fedor can zip it. Although at this rate Stinkland may KO fedor in under a minute, or at least Savage would like to think so.

 

[James]

GSP lost?? Jesus….

 

[sikdogg]

... Although at this rate Stinkland may KO fedor in under a minute, or at least Savage would like to think so.

If that ever happens then i think the universe will implode on itself...

 

[Alexander]

I know for sure my head would implode......a la chappelle white power skit.

 

[ersatz]

A bit shocked GSP got pounded out like that but at least I won some money out of it. As Alexander said there's been so many upsets in MMA recently that you have to bet on big underdogs. I may have to throw some cash on Lindland but the odds aren't really favorable for a great payout.

I agree with you in that MMA has become more unpredictable than ever before. Just in the last 2 Pride events, Sokoudjou has been a huge underdog and won both fights.

 

[Mulletsoldier]

Dammit, second to MirSleeze

At least it wasn't RD.

Of course, you got second. You copied my picks so we tied. :duel: I'll take a 1st and 2nd for the weekend :head: after my last at Pride 33. It's worth noting Alex's pathetic performance for the weekend as well. Maybe he should post at Sherdog for a while then come back and try to requalify for this board.

 

[Mulletsoldier]

I didn't copy your stinky ass!
All my methods were original pal!!

It would have been had I played, 17 points here.

Dammit. :think:

 

[somewhatgifted]

woot tied for second , diego neutralised, gsp bulldozed and i picked both to win. can anyone post the rounds and win method? thanks for running this contest size... reps for the winner.... top 3? hehe

 

[somewhatgifted]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to MisterEZE again. Ill spread it by giving to top 3 or first and the guys tying for second.

[ugab37]

Hell yeah!!! I didnt finish last!! I will now be picking Rosie O'donnell over Fedor in the upcoming 'swollen muffbumper vs immortal beast' bout. Im still in shock. I just stood there for like 5 minutes after Serra ko'd GSP. I just didnt think he had a chance. Whats goin on in MMA?

 

[Beowulf]

Damn, this is the best I've done yet. I have to admit, I copy and paste the card and decide on the spot. Zero research; I'm too lazy.

As for the Rogue comparison, I may just sound like him at times because I'm a lit geek (hence the screen name), but I restrain my sesquipedalian flourishes. Sometimes they just escape.

I have to give it up to Rogue, though: you'd never confuse his posts with anyone else's.

I'll rep you guys soon. Gotta hit the gym.

 

[brass monkey]

Last, Ill go and cry in the corner.
Need to spread some rep before I can get Mullet

 

[Rogue Drone]

sesquipedalian?:blink: Have to look that one up.

Everyone around here has gotten jauntier in their renderings, styling more with the confidence in their insight.

I've just been at it longer, the old creaky creepy dude.

I think we can all agree on that last part.

 

[Beowulf]

I hope the intended comparison wasn't for geriatric, homoerotic flirtation...

 

[Rogue Drone]

Kiss me, Stud, long and loving and deep before you deep plow the mothballs off my long dusty, but still pert, backside.

 

[Mulletsoldier]

......Wow.

 

[Beowulf]

Kiss me, Stud, long and loving and deep before you deep plow the mothballs off my long dusty, but still pert, backside.

Uh, I think it is time to resume my hiatus.

"Newly crowned UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra (8-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) will face former champ Matt Hughes (41-5 MMA, 15-3 UFC) in his first title defense, according to UFC president Dana White in Saturday’s post-event press conference."

Hopefully they afford the "one-can-and-back-to-the-title" strategy to GSP as well. I imagine they will, he is in the Top Five for UFC salaries.
