UFC GSP Vs. Shields

RaschNuts

Not sure how many UFC fans there are but wondering if anyone willing to some type of contest/bet on this saturday's fight? up for ideas and doesnt have to be just 2 of us maybe a few. just throwing it out there.

OK Taking Jozr idea here are the rules

Picks would be for the main card only. Each participant would enter in their picks for each main card fight; picks would consist of three criteria: Winner, Round it finishes in (dec= Rd 3 or 5 for title fights), and the method of the finish (KO/TKO, Submission, Decision). The picks would be scored on these three criteria for a total of 5 points available per fight, 3 for the correct winner, and one each for the other two criteria.

Ex: Shields Rd 2, Armbar submission is the pick. Say Shields wins in round 3 via guillotine choke, well I got 4 points for the winner and the submission pick, but nothing for the round.

Wager 5 sticks

Fight Card:
Bocek Vs Henderson
Couture Vs Machida
Matyushenko Vs Brilz
Aldo Vs Hominick
GSP Vs Shields

Picks Must be in by 8:59est Saturday April 30th

Hmm. I've got a thought, tell me what you think.

Ex: Shields Rd 2, Armbar submission is the pick. Say Shields wins in round 3 via guillotine choke, well I got 4 points for the winner and the submission pick, but nothing for the round.

Anyway, that's one idea. I think the scoring of picks lends enough variance that there won't be several people with the same picks...hopefully. I don't know what a good wager would be, but maybe a five pack of premium, hand-mades from each participant to the winner.

I am into UFC and am in for whatever .... My sticks are on GSP .... I like Sheilds but he is not in Gsp's class ..... In typical GSP fasion 5 rounds unanimous decision for the winner and still champion GSP

Ok so doe's any else feel that 2 of the 3 judges in the GSP fight were watching a different fight than me ...... I mean come om GSP 48-47 at least 1 of the judges had it right 50-45 ..... Ok i'll maybe give Shields 1 round but by no means would I gove him a 10-8 round ............. YIKES ...... So the final score card is

Henderson rd3 dec
Machida rd2 TKO
Matsiawhatshisface rd1 TKO
Aldo 5rd dec
GSP rd5 dec

So I tallied it all up and come up with

Jozer 17
King 19
Lil 14
Rasch 8

I guess that makes me the wiener ....... Any one wanna double check I have had a few soda pops tonight.

j0z3r

I think I came up with a similar tally...damn, so close. Just goes to show GSP can't be counted on to fight like he wants to finish. Congrats King, shoot me your info and I'll try to get a pack out tomorrow.

lilwing88

Congrats, Jim!. I still have your info. Some smokes comin your way!

j0z3r

So what did you guys think of Machida? As much as I hate to see Randy lose, that kick was pretty damn cool...cooler, imo, than the one Anderson let loose on Vitor.

kingjk729

That was a good fight and I love Machida, but he is a lot like Silva you just never know which fighter is gonna show up. The Randy KO was good but the spinning back fist on th undercard was better.

Enjoy them. Glad to hear they made it safe and sound, I always get a bit nervous when I don't hear about the pack landing.

Please tell me you got the pack I sent too...... If I lose one more package through USPS, I'm gonna lose it.

kingjk729

No worries, bro. Glad you got it. I've just been having some bad luck with packages going missing from USPS. They're currently "investigating" two of my lost packages. I can only imagine what that entails..... "Ya'all seen a box around here?"..... "Mmmmmm, nope."...... "Aw shiiiit. Fu*k it then".

Phone call to me: "Sorry sir. We regret to inform you that after an extensive and thorough investigation, we couldn't find your package."
