    I was actually winning the League and then it got restarted.

    Why? Because 'the powers that be' couldn't handle my hot, MMA predicting action.

    :yep

    I'm looking forward to tonight's fights.

    I think Griffin is too strong for Gomi, but Gomi could make this one a lot fun if Griffin can't bully him.

    I believe Howard has more potential than Ellenberger. Howard is faster, better dexterity, and better flexibility in my opinion. I just don't like the way Howard rushes in without tucking his chin. Ellenberger keeps his chin tucked, and looks to test his opponent's chin. With Howard's speed advantage, it may not matter how flawed his stance is in this fight. I'm expecting these guys to go at it, and for the fight to end with a dramatic knock out.

    It will be interesting to see if Munoz is ready to rise to the level of someone as experienced as Okami. If Munoz is unable to put Okami on his back, Okami may bust him up with counter punches.

    Matyushenko is a decent fighter, and this fight isn't a mismatch on paper. I just think that Jones' speed will make this fight a mismatch. This is the only fight I don't see being competitive on the telecast.

    Well, at least I got one 100%. We all know that Okami deserved the UD, but for some reason it was a split.

    No Okami lost that second round, he didnt do **** and was almost finished if Munoz was any smarter. The question is what was Munoz thinking? His cage IQ is basically zero. He had Okami on ***** street and instead of capitalizing, he rushed in and missed that stupid uppercut.

    Losing the second round still leaves him winning the first and third. Should have been 29-28 all around.

    Somebody should bump up the last prediction before the thread was broken and add those totals to these.
