Rooting or picking?
I was rooting for Wand, Nog, Forrest and Kongo...
But picked:
- Rampage (the rules wouldn't benefit Wand)
- Nog (gave him 55% chances to win)
- Rashad (by vicious hook)
- Kongo by superior striking and improved takedown defense
Rooting: I went 1-3
Picking: I went 3-1
I wouldn't mind to pick the wrong guys if my favorites win

I seen all the results coming but still held hope out for Wand and Nog.
Glad Forrest got blasted.

That was my picks as well. I don't think I've ever been so wrong in a card in my entire life. It was like last years Super Bowl all over again.

Whoever saw it coming...
Now instead of possible upsets, i'm looking forward to probable upsets, so -
Coleman > Shogun - rear naked arm breakage
Mir > Lesnar - leglock#2
Evans > Rampage/Machida/Thiago - Brutal KO
All of my faith is now in Michael Bisping, 3 and 0, the count is bringing it back...

I was 3/4 out of those fights...
I wanted Mir to win because he was the underdog but I didn't bet on him. Lost $50
On Rampage/Rashad/Kongo I won about $400...
I knew Rampage would murder Wand... And he did.
I won

Not very disapponting because....
All my picks came true...Rampage won,(this didnt surprise me) Evans won(neither did this) Mir won (and yes I did pick Mir to win the fight because all of you were sleeping on him too much), and my man, Kongo won...this one was too easy...Cheick Kongo is a contendor in that division he ain't on doormat!
So I have to say it was a great night and I talked all the shit in the world to my friends!

I went 1-3. I usually never take guys making UFC debuts, but sometimes will,so I don't take Al-turk. Took the other 3

I had Rampage by KO, Mir by TKO, and Kongo, but of course I didn't put any money down. :-/

And any doubts to his britishness should be gone when he opens his mouth, guy has terrible teeth and a cockney accent

Wow, a champion of a minor league and one dimensional to boot. He is a can.

If your going to pick lyoto or Thiago Silva, don't make it by Brutal KO. Save those for the fighters who usually get Brutal KO's.
Also only pick Bisping if he isn't fighting a top ten guy.

re-read the initial post and realise why your post failed so hard
