NO DISCUSSION/LINKS TO ILLEGAL STREAMS PLEASE!!

Scratch that, 4-way tie.  With this many predictions the leaderboard is lagging a little bit behind as it keeps updating everyone's totals.

I'm really looking forward to this Roberts vs Patrick fight.  Hoping for some slick grappling exchanges, and not a dull kickboxing match.

Wow, bonuses are $129,000!  No wonder everybody's coming out gangbusters.

@Gloom it's in my top 3 for sure...Anderson's front kick, Friere's flying knee and now Makdessi's back fist

On a random note, I believe Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer who has noted on several occasions that the Pride audience numbers of 90,000 were greatly exaggerated and likely topped out around 70,000.

where is everyone seeing them at?

aha and the end of the labrynth is in site

what's everyones score? 1 a piece?

i predicted that patrick would tko him in the 2nd so im not very happy about him not capitalizing on that big knee he landed

Fight was basically a draw. Not much happened. Both guys landed some strikes, both guys got some takedowns, etc.

If I had to lean one way I'd say Claude Patrick with the clear round 2.

my picks

Got my first perfect of the night

Wow, the way my picks are going you would think I've never seen an MMA fight before.

mine

Fairly clear cut 29-28 I thought. I'm 3-2 now with that decision being my only perfect.

Damn I knew that I was gonna regret switching from Menjivar to Valencia

Sitting 4 of 5 right now!

has anyone ever predicted 12 for 12?
