Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 530 Points   |   Tied for 190th

My plans for big events are always pretty straightforward: hanging out in the Tapology bat-cave and making sure the site is running smoothly.

Time to live vicariously through you.  What do we have in store for Saturday night?  Private jet to Vegas and then front-row seats with the Fertittas?

"I live, I die, I live again."

I will be working on finishing the dry wall in my living room while mostly yelling at the TV and trying to teach my daughter what an armbar is.

To watch it live and not the following morning on the Tivo. That's the plan at least!

Falling asleep anytime during the day or evening just makes me feel awful afterwards. Napping doesn't agree with me at all. Best thing for me to do is to just sleep in long Friday into Saturday and make the day as short as possible.

I'd be really annoyed with myself if I missed watching this one live though.

I'm the same way.  I tell myself I'll get 30 minutes of quick sleep.  And then I don't get up until 6 hours later.

As per usual, set alarm to 2am, watch prelims on my laptop with earphones (while praying 2 year old son doesn't wake up), switch to muted TV for main card and if history repeats itself, watch the main event with my now awake 2 year old with the added bonus that I can now turn up the volume (and permanently scar him psychologically if it's a bloody one -- we watched Hunt/Bigfoot together ;) ), go to %@#$@ work!

No one I know here follows MMA so I can't even pull an all-nighter with a mate and some beers every now and then.

If the first part of that plan goes wrong you're in deep trouble mate!

Our plan is to goto the casino and watch it for free and then count the benjamins I make from the underdogs and Anderson.

I'm going to the same bar I always go to, luckily the price to watch the PPV didn't go up.  Our normal table was already taken though and we usually buy it the day before, so a lot of casual fans are going to be watching which is good to see.

I'm going to the same place I usually go to, luckily they don't charge for PPVs. I'm sure a lot of casual fans will be out for it, probably going to have to be there fairly early.

Smoke the last of the weed my wife got me for xmas, drink some bitburger, then wake up my 18 year old for the main event because he's a big Anderson fan.
