Yep, contest winner will go home happy!

The leaderboard will update as the fights take place.  Note that if multiple users are tied on points, the leaderboard will NOT properly order them according to Tapology's tie-breaker rules.

The tie-breaker rules, stated on the contest page, state that if there is a tie for first place in points, the tie-breaker will be whoever had the most points on the main event. If still a tie, it will then move to the co-main event, and so on all the way down the card until identifying the winner.

Good luck, Everlast fans!

@Gregory.. I'm super excited.. for whoever wins.  I think it is an awesome idea.

I know, I kind of hope I'm wrong.  To be honest, this is the first time I've gotten a PPV, and I'd love to see a ton of finishes, but these fights are all so close I just see a lot of them going all the way.

I'll be the first to admit, I get the most excited for the biggest shows. I haven't been this pumped for a UFC since UFC 100. Tonight is going to be awesome, and a landmark for the sport.

I don't feel as confident about these picks as I did with UFC 128, but then again I didn't get many methods right for 128.

@ghost, I hear you.  I went 9-3 for 128 and I'll be happy with 7 wins on this one.

@thiago you're one of the gutsy 15% taking Shields.  It would be an epic upset.  I went the other way, GSP by decision, but will most likely be cheering for Shields to take it.

If Shields doesn't win I wouldn't mind seeing him move to MW, Silva is a better stylistic matchup for him
