MMA Prediction Contest - Season 7

[Turd Ferguson]

Welcome to the UFC Prediction Contest Season Seven thread!

Champion History:
Season 1 - Yazloz
Season 2 - Fizzy
Season 3 - Fizzy
Season 4 - Crock
Season 5 - Turd Ferguson
Season 6 - Turd Ferguson


We will predict the main card for each card in this thread, and usually one or two prelims, sometimes more depending on whether or not there are good fights. We'll keep it all in here, and be able to discuss the contest as it goes on. The winner of the "Season" will be the champion (the winner will have the most cumulative points.)

Also, don't be afraid to jump in each season in progress. Case in point: The Best scored zero on the first card we predicted, and he wound up being in second place going into the last card when it was all said and done. All it takes is nailing a couple of cards (or in his case, even one) to be "In the Mix".

Season Seven will have us predicting the following cards:

And going forward, we will only be predicting Bellator cards that have "name" fighters on them.

2/15 - UFC on Fuel - Barao vs. McDonald
2/21 - Bellator 90
2/23 - UFC 157 - Rousey vs. Carmouche
3/2 - UFC on Fuel - Silva vs. Stann
3/18 - UFC 158 - St. Pierre vs. Diaz

Scoring will be as follows:

2 Points for predicting a correct winner
1 Point for predicting correct method of victory (T/KO, Submission, or Decision)
1 Point for predicting correct round (or decision).
Tiebreaker for guessing Fight of the Night/Submission of the Night/KO of the Night correctly (In which one additional point will be issued)
If you do not guess the winner correctly, you obviously do not get awarded any bonus points.

Example of a Correct Prediction:
Junior Dos Santos vs. Frank Mir: KO Round 2

Tallies are per event. Whoever has the most points at the end of the season is the champion. You can only edit your picks for only up to 10 minutes after they are made, and picks made after the deadline of WHENEVER THE PRELIMS START WILL NOT COUNT.

Please bold the name of your winner in order to make scoring these easier.

If you have any questions, please let me know... hopefully this is self-explanatory.

Disregard the fact that this is Danny Castillo's nickname, but last call guys.

Also, I, and I'm sure a lot of you, have zero interrest in Bellator's product, so we're going to be predicting Bellator 90. Unless there is a major fight, we're not going to bother
