You can send picks whenever confident with the fights. We are currently only counting picks on those main card fights. The picks should only be pm'd once unless they add, drop or change a fight on the main card. The offcial card can be seen HERE. 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.

Thats Cause u havent fought me yet! You see that shinny Belt? My left shoulder is feeling a little cold i think ill use yours to warm it up!

I would still be working on the calculator if we were still picking prelims, but whenever you guys want to take another vote on that let me know. It sucks to pick 100 percent right and lose like a couple people did tonight, but of course if you do the whole Strikeforce card that includes guys you don't know of sometimes.
Yeah guessing how its going to end is SUPER vital in this, i expect my opponent to not miss a single one. This is in depth 4 fights lol

Personally I think we should mix it up. In the case of this card we didn't have much of an option because we literally knew no one on the undercard. If there are fighters on the undercard that are more known then we should put them on the vote, but with Strikeforce that rarely happens!

meh i dont like the idea of getting all the fights right and still losing, ill just stick to the real deal the UFC CPL, congrats rauno in your accuracy

not the same thing, in the ufc here is 11 fights and many well known fighters on the prelims and main card, statistically i did well picking all the winners.

Good fight Couchwarrior, looking at our picks my 3rd round submission for Souza seemed to be the deciding factor. Tough for you considering you also picked all 4 winners..

420atalon, don't get too comfortable with that belt, as you won't be holding it for long. We will soon have a British Strikeforce champion in more ways than one :D

I am also undefeated in my last 5 fights (Strikeforce/UFC) so this has the makings of the greatest title fight in MMA history!

Up for the challenge at the next event??

Keep dreaming... Next event I will gladly beat you down.

That said the next event actually looks like a tough one :confused05:

I am coming for your belt don't you worry. Soon as you give me my chance I will gladly take it from you.

ahh dam the one risk I took cost me, I suspected a submission win for Jacare as well, only reason I picked Lawler was because I figured everyone would pick the same 4 people near enough and I was right, so I thought I would bet on one upset and I figured Robbie with his KO power had the best chance of pulling one off with a KO, so I went with it.

Well played Machida, I let you have this one seriously because of the risk I took which went against my instinct of what I actually thought would happen in that fight but what can I say you where able to take advantage and make me pay.

Yeah i regretted not saying Sub the second i sent my picks lol, i was like damn did i really say it would go 5 rounds.... Ouchy... Good fight!



How about this for a deal. If you can hold onto your belt until Mar 3/5 we will have a double header, Strikeforce 32 and UFC Live Sanchez vs Kampmann with both belts on the line, combined score takes both home.

Unless Dude wants to give me a Lesnaresque shot at your belt before then ;)
Lol there u go combining the two belts as if there equal... That deal isn't a fair trade, but im confident id win so i would do it if i dont take it from u before then or if u can hold onto your shit for another fight night, which i question u can do.

And it would be pretty unfair to others to boost u to a title shot just cause i selfishly want both belts, that would definitely be Dudes decision
