@joca people here are pretty serious about fight predictions! 

some people go and do serious research on all the fighters, others just look at quick stats to try and get a feel for the fight, and others just make a quick guess for the heck of it.  having picks makes the fights more fun.

@Soccer.. I picked 2nd round, but it could very well be 1st.  And @Gregory is right!  Having picks makes all the shows/cards fun!  Just like Fantasy Football, when you have players from other teams on your team besides your favorite NFL team, you pay attention to all the games!
