Now I'm confused- are we making a new thread for each week? Shouldn't we just maintain one thread for the year, adding points with each fight? Just a thought. Matt Hughes Sub. 3 Thiago Alves Fabricio Werdum W3 Brandon Vera Nate Marquardt W3 Thales Leites Michael Bisping W3 Jason Day Mike Swick TKO2 Marcus Davis Maurice Smith TKO2 Yoshida Fujita W3 Travis Wuff Kazuo Misaki TKO1 Logan Clark Nick Thompson TKO1 Michael Costa Hope this week is better for El Matador, though alot of these fights are toss-ups IMO.
Could have a sticky with week by week points and the overall table? Matt Hughes vs Thiago Alves - Huges UD Fabricio Wedrum vs Brandon Vera - Werdum UD Nate Marquardt vs Thales Leites - Nate TKO1 Michael Bisping vs Jason Day - Bisping TKO2 Marcus Davis vs Mike Swick - Davis UD Maurice Smith vs Yoshida - Yoshida UD Fujita vs Travis Wiuff - Fujita TKO1 Kazuo Misaki vs Logan Clark - Misaki UD Nick Thompson vs Michael Costa - Thompson TKO2
We take the picks over a month's period time, add it up and somebody becomes the "ESB MMA Pickmaster of July (or, whenever)". At the end of the year, we add it up and we have the "ESB MMA Pickmaster of 2008" (or whatever title we come up with). That way, people will be more interested in continually playing for each month.
Exactly and so you all know the reason I have it in different threads every week cause its too dam annoying when everythings jammed in one big ass thread.
Matt Hughes vs Thiago Alves Hughes via UD 3. Fabricio Wedrum vs Brandon Vera Werdum via TKO 3. Nate Marquardt vs Thales Leites Marquardt via UD. Michael Bisping vs Jason Day Bisping via UD. Marcus Davis vs Mike Swick Swick via TKO 2. Maurice Smith vs Yoshida Smith via SD. Fujita vs Travis Wiuff Fujita UD TKO 2. Kazuo Misaki vs Logan Clark Misaki UD 3. Nick Thompson vs Michael Costa Thompson UD. EIDT: I switched Thompson and Costa at the last minute to Thompson UD.
Me tooooo!!!, I'm getting sick of refs and their **** calls!!!!, I can't believe Herby called Nate on that back of the head punch....that cost him the fight.
That was pretty lame, I like Nate Marquadt, he was robbed by errors in the referee's judgement.:yep This week wasn't good for El Matador, prediction wise. It's been a rough year. :bart
Yep, the only thing i got right was Michael Bisping. Everything else i have a fail. Goddamn ref needs to be less trigger happy when stopping fights and taking points.
I'm actually able to find some condolence in the fact that I just out and out sucked at the picks - as opposed to getting them right and turning them wrong at the last second.
I get 10 points for Swick getting the UD! But overall, I sucked. You have to love this sport...where nothing happens as planned.
I was one of only 2 people who picked Alves, that's th only pat on the back I can give myself, but I thought Hughes would make it to UD....Alves finished Hughes faster then GSP could props for that. Did anybody notice the size difference between Alves and Hughes, that was the first time I seen anybody dwarf Hughes like that....no wonder he couldn't make weight.
