Yes, every weekend contest from here on out is going to have a random, pointless theme. This weekend we celebrate bacon and all the joy it can give you.  We've got 4 events lined up for your fight-picking pleasure this weekend.  Get those picks in!!!



Cage Warriors 44 is Saturday from London, England (streaming online!)




BEP 5: Breast Cancer Beatdown is Saturday from Fletcher, North Carolina




Bellator 52 is Saturday from Lake Charles, Louisiana (Spike.com and MTV2!)




UFC on Versus 6: Cruz vs Johnson is Saturday from Washington, D.C.





Contest Prizes:
First place will be 600 points, second place will be 300 points, and third place will be 150 points.  The champion also takes home r1zla's work of art:




Scoring:
Contest scoring uses regular Tapology scoring. You get 50 points for every fight you pick correctly, and extra points if you perfectly call the fight via decision or the method+round combination.  To score high and have a chance at winning the contest you'll need to pick as many of the fights as possible. Tapology is filled with fight-picking savages, so you'll need to bring your A-game.

How to enter:
Just pick the fights and you'll be automatically entered. No need to do anything else.

GOOD LUCK!

You are correct @Gregory, thanks again to @wake for doing the heavy lifting!  My exposing my dad to MMA for the first time was a success!  Enough to the point that when I switched to MTV2 to see if Bellator was still going and Bully Beatdown was on, he was laughing at the bully getting beat on.

Last weekend I did really good. This weekend I tanked. I was above 50%, but not by much. I haven't had a weekend showing this bad since Hendo/Fedor weekend.

No, it's not official yet.

Sometimes the results change for the smaller events, so you'll have to wait for the official results to see who really wins this.

And the number of correct picks is a tie-breaker.
