Ok so I saw this on another MMA site and thought it would be fun to try on here.

It's pretty simple really, I will pick one fight on the upcoming UFC card, so for this week on the UFC 153 the match I would chose is Jon Fitch vs. Erick Silva.  You pick who you think wins, you get it right you move on to the next round you get it wrong your out.

Now I don't know how many people are interested in this or how long it will take so for now I would say after 3 events of a single fight pick then I would switch to 2 fights a card. 3 cards later it would go to 3 fights a card etc.

Anyone can join but once the first week starts no one can join until the next one. If you join and forget to make your pick for a fight then you would be out. Once you make your pick that is who you are going with, no editing of posts!

In the case of a draw everyone would move on to the next round.

Who thinks they can survive???

Post in here with your pick and you will be added to the spreadsheet for the first week of Tapology Survivor 1!

No problem! This is easy to keep track of compared to keeping track in the betting game!

This is a great idea Poir. Still surprised by all the Silva picks. I think he is a future champion but too green right now. Can I suggest the Kim Thiago fight next? Franklin Le and Silva Nedkov aren't as close on paper IMO.

I think I will wait until the week of UFC Macao to announce which fight those of us that picked Fitch will be picking =)

Since it's like a month away I don't want to go through the trouble of getting everyone's pick for a fight that might get cancelled or something

Alrighty so I think the fight for this round will be Takanori Gomi vs. Mac Danzig. Seems like a good close fight to pick this round.

Tapology Picks Gomi 48% vs. Danzig 52%
Current Odds Gomi 110 vs. Danzig -140

So here is the people I need a pick from. And you can wait until the day of the fight if you want to or you can make your pick early, it's up to you.
