If someone doesn't have athletic legs or having trained for leg kicks, I'd expect the average person to have something seriously damaged after one kick.

@Lopati

I think I can explain. If you had picked all favorites, you would have gone 12-0.

When's the last time we saw an event w/o a single upset?

At least once last Bellator season.

@StealingFire, It's actually not as rare as you'd think, Bellator have been putting on predictable cards quite a lot lately. I've started treating them like regional shows when picking (which means barely picking out of the first round, favoring finishes and less dog hunting) and hey presto I'm first place in the Bellator comp with two more cards to go (for now at least). In fact a bit of dog hunting cost me dearly in Bellator 116 with a score that used to be one I'd dream for on a Bellator card.

In fact in 5 out of the 8 cards on this Q comp the first page of the leaderboard have all picked between 95%-100%. That used to be unheard of in Bellator comps.

I think it's a subsequent of the UFC eating up a lot more talent, Bellator getting a handful of UFC level guys and then scraping the barrel to match them up.

Plus, the first rounds of the tourney usually have contenders fighting prospects (at best) or "never gonna be"s (at worst), so there's also that.

@cpostings, you're still 9th place out of 440-something, so you got round and method more than most, still something to be chuffed about, it's all about 'dem perfects :)
