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

PRELIMINARY CARD

Wayne Phillips vs. Fernando Bettega
Justin Lawrence vs. Max Martynuk
Terrell Brown vs. Pat Dummins
Lucas Lopes vs. Cortez Coleman
Lee Brousseau vs. Mike Glenn
Tom Aaron vs. Matt Ricehouse
Booker DeRousse vs. Coltin Cole
Josh Epps vs. J.W. Wright

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.

Hoping somebody comes on the thread the next few days and signs up so pipe will have an opponent. If anybody doesn't know, when we have an odd # on the night of the event, that guy would take the place of someone who failed to send in their picks. Almost always happens to at least one person, if more than one he'd take the place of the highest one up the fight card.

I'm sorry some people signed up and didn't count on the prelims being so tough to pick. Since this is the first one it's totaly understandable. But this thing is going on. If anybody wants out let me know as soon as possible so I can change the matchups before tomorrow's show.

If more people wanted to pick just main card and not the whole card, it would be fine with me. But not doing it in the middle of an event. Over half the people who signed up for the pick 'em have sent their picks, with prelims and all. Will take a vote after this one is over, from everybody who participates, about which fights to pick in Strikeforce. And will be cool with what the majority goes with :thumbsup:

Here is their final card, for those who need it... taken from the weigh in's:

MAIN CARD
* Dan Henderson (204.5) vs. Renato "Babalu" Sobral (202)
* Paul Daley (169) vs. Scott Smith (170)
* Robbie Lawler (186) vs. Matt Lindland (185.5)
* Mike Kyle (219) vs. Antonio Silva (263)
* Benji Radach (205.5) vs. Ovince St. Preux (205.5)

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Fernando Bettega (170.25) vs. Wayne Phillips (171)
* Justin Lawrence (155.5) vs. Max Martytniouk (154.5)
* Terrell Brown (208.25)* vs. Patrick Cummins (205.5)
* Lee Brousseau (204) vs. Mike Glenn (207.25)
* J.W. Wright (130.5) vs. Josh Epps (127.5)
* Booker DeRousse (185) vs. Colton Cole (185.5)
* Matt Ricehouse (156) vs. Tom Aaron (155.5)
* Cortez Coleman (184.75) vs. Lucas Lopez (185)

Check out the pics of the undercard fighters if you need help, a couple looked a little 'ah'... out of shape compared to their competition.

Thanks for sticking with the full card Dudes. I spent a good hour yesterday looking up some of these guys. My picks will be in tomorrow afternoon, just finalising them.

Antonio Silva has a MASSIVE weight advantage over Kyle..
