Hmmm.  Now that I'm looking at my picks...I have no subs.  That's making me nervous.

Last two UFC events were easy cards to predict with a lot of oddsmakers' favorites winning their fights. This card has so many tough picks and is likely to ruin my deceptively good pick percentage. Predictions still in progress. Last two events I watched old videos before picking but I haven't really got time to do that now.

Only last minute change was Macdonald for Diaz. That one really could go either way. I'd be okay with 7/12 and happy with 8/12. If I were betting I'd probably only go with three fights. GSP/Aldo/Ellenberger parlay is slightly better than evens. While, I'm picking Machida, Randy's odds are very good, so I could add him and make it a Doubles bet.

I thought he was going to slip out, but... Nice win for Garza.

That flying triangle was awesome, but damn. I like Jabouin a lot, and I was starting to get excited, he was really taking control of that fight, I was thinking he was going to get a ko in the first, the way it was going.

What a sub. Looked like he was in trouble up to that point.
