Feel free to join in even if you've never played before. If you have any questions let someone know. If you sign up and don't send picks for fights by the time they start each one will be wrong. You can change picks you send leading up the event, but not once it starts. Here's how to pick:

This info comes from Walker's rules/help thread found here: Link.

Select the correct fighter: 10 points, if you get that right other points are available
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. If you want to predict a rare outcome such as a DQ, NC or a draw you may do that as well. For the DQ, include the name of the winning fighter and the round it occurred, for the NC just the round, and for a draw include the type of draw the decision was (unanimous, split or majority).

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.

I put you two as the 2nd fight on the main card. Took it that was a callout acceptance, let me know if wrong. And that left boatoar vs Kickass as the last two so they have to rumble, I'll be the stand in... so thanks for making the matchups easy guys. And if anybody's confused, the picks are for the whole card. That Fight Night double event thing was a one time thing.... so far.

If anybody else wants to play just sign up before the prelims start Saturday night.

That about does it, wraps 'er all up. If anybody knows or thinks I messed up any part of it send me a message please. Sorry about the late results. My computer died during the undercard yesterday and I thought or hoped it was temporary so I went to a bar to watch the fights. Then when I got home and started doing these and settling vbooks... it died for good. I would pay to get it fixed but a new one wouldn't cost much more and mine is ollllld.

Yes thankfully. Made £100 profit, which would have been £200 loss if either had lost. Like i said to you on facebook though, im done betting big on UFC, ruins the enjoyment of watching the fights.

A shame that my 5 fold of Page, Freire, Pettis, MM and Jones didnt come in, that would have netted me another £100 but not greedy and grateful for making profit.

Page 3 has the results, just finished then and put why I was late in the bottom of the post comments. Good game to boatoar, I wouldn't get that lucky in a rematch. Well done to Clyde the only one of us who picked Barboza and he got 26 for him. I looked at the vbookie, and only one person bet too but it was SJ not Clyde.

@AlphaDawg hixxy is asking about you. Sitting out one ppv is no biggie. We just do interim champs if he doesn't defend 3 events in a row. And only the ppv's count against you since you have to defend if you sign up for it, and fight night shows count for you (if you defend on one) and not against in the 3 in a row thing.
