    The problem is, I don't know enough of the fighters so for every fight I have to study the records and fighting styles of both men and then make a judgement. Because the cards are so stacked i find it becomes a chore picking for 20 fights over a weekend.

    My core knowledge isn't enough right now to have a gut instinct and without that it just takes too long.

    @lufcrazy At least don't bow out completely and pick fights that interest you... The league is already pretty empty as it was, and will probably remain so if participants continue to leave! Was hoping at start 2018 with 10-15 regular players.

    If you don't know the fighters you could just pick the betting favourite.

    It's the time it takes to research that though, the MMA cards are stacked with competitive fights and it's usually a 50/50 matchup

    I'd pick tonight's main event too. Considering both guys are either in or very close to the top 10 of the LW division.

    Dammit... Went against my gut by picking against Tavares, 2nd straight card that's screwed me over.

    Romero vs Whitaker is a hard one to pick. On paper Romero has the skillset to take Whitaker out of his game but Whitaker's huge run and age advantage can't be ignored.
