This is a signup thread for anybody that wants to compete against their fellow MMAF members at picking fights on this big Strikeforce card. This Strikeforce event takes place in two weeks, Saturday Dec. 4th at appr. 7:00 PM EST. The main event is a LHW showdown between Dan Henderson and Renato 'Babalu' Sobral from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.



Anybody who likes Strikeforce can sign up. Details on how to pick are below, same format used for UFC events in CPL.

The scheduled fights include:

MAIN CARD

Dan Henderson vs. Renato "Babalu" Sobral
Paul Daley vs. Scott Smith
Robbie Lawler vs. Matt Lindland
Antonio Silva vs. Mike Kyle
Benji Radach vs Ovince St. Preux

You can send picks whenever confident with the fights. The picks should only be pm'd once unless they add, drop or change a fight on the card. The offcial card can be seen HERE. If people sign up and send picks this thing will continue, and a record will be kept of players' wins, losses and scores. If someone signs up and fails to send their picks, they get an automatic loss in the results and won't be cleared to fight at the next event. The deadline is when the preliminary fights begin live, approximately 6:00 PM EST in the US, or 11:00 PM GMT.

On how to pick fights:

Select the correct fighter: 10 points
Select the correct method of win: 5 points
Method includes Submission, KO/TKO and Decision.
Select the correct round of win: 3 points
If you select the fight to end by decision then you must choose either unanimous, split or majority instead of a round.

In addition you can earn bonus points for EACH fight by putting the fights in order from your most confident pick to your least confident when you PM them. If there are 10 fights on the card then your most confident pick could earn you an extra 10 points if you get it correct.

Question to the Strikeforce pick 'em faithful, you know you guys, which of these belts do you like best for the future champ of this thing to wear in his sig? They're made by the awesome limba I was just talking too:

Thanks for signing up, everybody. Only two matchups were made by people calling out their opposition, you'll find them towards the top of the card. Everybody else is randomly placed, but you can move up by getting the win or good ol' smacktalk.

All we can do is pick the fights they are going to do, right now the event is looking undercard heavy like this:

MAIN CARD

* Dan Henderson vs. Renato "Babalu" Sobral
* Paul Daley vs. Scott Smith
* Robbie Lawler vs. Matt Lindland
* Antonio Silva vs. Mike Kyle

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Fernando Bettega vs. Wayne Phillips
* Justin Lawrence vs. Max Martytniouk
* Terrell Brown vs. Patrick Cummins
* Lee Brousseau vs. Mike Glenn
* Ben Brown vs. J.W. Wright

If they add any fights to the card in the last week you should send a pick for that one too.

Hey everybody who sent their picks already! They added Mike Kyle to the card to go against Bigfoot Silva. Even if you picked Silva before you might want to reorder the confidence. This is a good fighter they brought on board, but short as hell notice. Your call, and you can wait til Friday night/Saturday morning to send them if you want to see if they do any Strikeforcish last minute shite with Carson.
