Just out of curiosity, who has the best % in calling fights? One guy I'm following has 64%. It looks like the average is around 59%. Also who has the worst %? Just wondering, I think it's interesting to read people's comments and then looking at their percentages.

I'm not doing too hot either. 53.7% at the moment. I started out picking the fighters I like, and then pretty much just guessing at the fighters I didn't know much about. For some reason I felt like I needed to pick every fight in a particular event just to see how many I could get right. I've since smartened up and now only pick fighters I know something about. I've also started to do a little research when I'm bored and have the time. I'll look at a fighter's record and compare it to the others, and also take into consideration the quality of opponents they have faced in their history.

@Cash I do the same thing in the big fights and it seems to be about 50/50

I pick all UFC fights, most SF fights (I skip some prelims) and all bellator maincard fights. Most of the time I avoid the prelims, unless someone notable is fighting.

I am at 63.9% and feel that my % should be higher except I started calling fights in these organizations that I have never heard of before. For me the problem (in calling fights) with such organizations such as Belator etc. is that there are so many fighters you have never heard of and have no clue how to bet with them. It makes it interesting on a betting standpoint since it is easier to pick underdogs etc. With UFC, Strikeforce we likely know most of the fighters and have a better handle calling these fights. I think from now on I will just stick to the fighters I know.

I do better on smaller shows than in UFC or Strikeforce, less bias is likely the reason

I do as many as I can. Though so of the prelims are hard like the upcoming Bellator card. One of the fights is two guys making their pro debuts, so neither has a record or anything to base a pick off.

@dannotheman, alot of them aren't making their debuts. always be sure to check their fight records on sherdog first.

Definite good recommendation by Kallousklown. I've seen fighters here listed as 1-1 and it turns out they are 6-1 or 7-1 or 2-0 and they wind up to be 8-0.

yes, DJ Linderman who is fighting on this weekend's bellator tournament actually came on to this site to correct his record.

There's a laundry list of things we're trying to get to, but one of them will be to have these records updated more quickly.

i know it isn't a big deal but something I would like to see on a fighter's page would be their primary fighting style, if possible.

We've actually got option that in our database, Klown, but we only have it filled out for like 20 fighters :)
This is why we plan to let you guys have the ability to update the info also (and get points, awards, etc). The power of the people!
