“I have a bet with a friend that Henderson will win, but even if I lose the bet I’ll be happy because that’s the outcome I actually want.”

i always find myself in that predicament..

like.. on the last fantasy.. i changed my mind at the last second.. and picked Sylvia over Noguiera.. and like.. obviously i got the pick all wrong.. but i’m sooo much happier w/ Nog as the champ..

like.. it’s better to lose money and get the outcome you wanted.. ’cause that like.. takes away from the fact that you lost money..

but if you bet going w/ your gut feeling.. then you loose money AND your guy lost..

hahaha..

ummm… i don’t really know how many people can be in a league and what not.. but.. there is only nine people in it i believe.. i don’t know the regulations, but i find it kinda weird for that to be the cap..

Jackyl I think the 5 oz. League is filled already. I’ll try and send you an invite though if it allows me too.

hey jackyl, you know.. 5 oz. of pain has a league in UFC Fantasy?

and wolfe, i still say if Hendo doesn’t lose in the first three rounds.. Hendo will win.. but i STILL just don’t see him finishing Silva.. if it enters the championship rounds.. Hendo gets the decision..

anyway.. here’s my UFC fantasy picks.. i still think i’m gonna end up in the double digits.. because this event is just wayyyyy too unpredictable.. but.. here we go:

Silva TKO 3rd Round 2nd Minute [2:00-2:59] (Silva will finally catch Hendo in the 3rd)

Kongo Unanimous Decision (Kong will avoid the takedowns, but not get the KO)

Leben TKO 1st Round 2nd Minute [2:00-2:59] (if Alessio takes him down, Leben will get the sub)

Tanner Sub[Armlock] 2nd Round 2nd Minute [2:00-2:59] (in a quick burst of action, Tanner will get a hold of Okami’s arm.. and get the armbar..)

Fitch Sub[Choke] 1st Round 3rd Minute [3:00-3:59] (Fitch will avoid taking damage from the strikes, get it to the ground, and impose his will)

Arlovski TKO 1st Round 3rd Minute [3:00-3:59] (idk, hopefully we’ll see the AA of old)

Cummo Sub[Armlock] 2nd Round 3rd Minute [3:00-3:59] (Although Luke has great striking and power, he won’t catch Luigi, but when win through wrestling in the 1st round, and get the armbar mid 3rd round)

Hazelett Sub[Choke] 2nd Round 2nd Minute [2:00-2:59] (this one has been jerking me back and forth, i can’t figure out if Hazelett will get the sub or if Koscheck’s wrestling will get him the win. I had to go with my gut feeling, and for some reason, i see Hazelett being the “crowd-shocker” on Saturday night, and getting a triangle)

Sanchez Sub[Choke] 1st Round 3rd Minute [3:00-3:59] (We will finally get to see the old Diego again, the BJJ practioner. We will see the Nightmare that out grappled Karo and Diaz. Sanchez will have his way with this guy)

Gurgel Unanimous Decision (i originally had Gurgel winning by TKO in the first.. but.. i feel he will wrestle Halverson.. and eke out the Decision..)

__________________

well.. those are my predictions.. it was very hard to come up w/ my final decisions..
i think i might get torn apart by this event.. i hope for the best.. but like i said guys, look to see my fantasy score in the double digits on Saturday night !!

My head says Henderson is going to grind out a decision but I really want to see a flashy TKO/KO from Silva, he’s one of the most exciting fighters to watch.

I have a bet with a friend that Henderson will win, but even if I lose the bet I’ll be happy because that’s the outcome I actually want.

I agree Mike. I think that if Silva doesn’t take it within 3 rounds it goes to Hendo.

So who has the advantage if the fight gets to the “championship rounds?” If Henderson hangs in until the fourth and fifth, I’d give him the edge. Silva hasn’t had to fight into the third round in the UFC. I’m sure Silva’s in great shape, but Henderson can be a punishing grinder, and will intentionally try to wear Silva down.

Orlando I was just like you dood…I grew up doing wrestling, but I just changed my UFC pick to Silva about 5 minutes ago. I just have this feeling he’s going to be victorious.

I told all my fight friends that I have Henderson picked….I just don’t think he’s going to win though.
