Reigning champion @yorma decides to pay homage to the incredible and crazy Pride Fighting Championship rules from back the day MMA. Excellent. Also, props to @OldNick for tying for first last week and being okay with letting yorma have his theme-choosing moment in the sun.

Get your weekend picks locked in, suckas! TON of fights this weekend!

And so much for me being in the top15!  I'm happy to  be over 10,000 points for the 2nd straight week though!

I guess KOTC was the last update? Bleh. Last few events to be added have been a perfect abyss.

I'm back in the top15 again, however, my % is the lowest it's been all year... It's weird how you can place that high and see your & fall like that... it flat out stinks. 

What do you guys value more... Your percentage or how you place in the contest(s)?  Just curious how you all feel.

I think I value placement in the contest more, but I would like to see my % go higher as well, seems I can't reach that 62% mark.

damn these last few events have really spiralled me down the leaderboard.

I've been bouncing between 62.5% and 62.7% for a while.  Until it drops below 62.5%, the contests are what I try to focus on.

Competition is final, points have been distributed!

Congrats to all the leaderboard-toppers, and if winner @joe kerr wants to pick the next contest theme they've got the right to do it!

Note that both Kiru and WWFC 9 were DROPPED from the weekend competition due to not having full or verified results. When we get them you'll still earn your regular points and whatnot.  Just gets excluded from the competition.

Knock, knock!

Haha, thanks, guys! It feels good to "pull OldNick" (I think that's how I heard it was called), specially if one of the people you pull it on is OldNick himself:). A little impression then:
