    All of the above. Feel free to choose as many or as few winners as you like. Some people prefer to research the fighters on Youtube a bit before making predictions on the undercard - so perhaps some more boarders will post more picks over the next day or two. All choices are accepted - right up until the pay per view starts.

    what do you mean as few as you want? how does the point system work?

    Is it still 4 points to pick winner
    3 points for round(and winner)
    3 points for picking UD,tko or sub for a possible 10 points?

    so picking more fights would obviously get you more points or what did you have in mind Sugar.

    Yes - you are correct. I PM'd Jimmie about this because I couldn't remember how he broke the score down.

    I was saying that you were free to make as few or as many picks as you like - because I didn't want to mislead anyone into thinking that you had to guess at all of them in order to participate. It goes without saying that the more fights one predicts correctly - the more points one accrues.

    Since I'm picking up the ball with this this month - I would like to add bonus points for guessing the correct submission.

    +3 points for guessing the exact submission.

    So a guess of GSP over Alves via armbar in 3 would still garner points if GSP won by rear naked choke in 3 - it just wouldn't garner the bonus points for naming the exact submission.
