Dammit, I switched Bobby Voelker with Roger Bowling since I thought the latter would win :(

i'm the same really Jalm, i used to only pick UFC's as that's where i felt most confident, but now i actually enjoy the smaller orgs, i enjoy having to reseach some of the lesser known fighters. most of which i probably would never of heard of until they made it big, if you know what i mean

I fell below 60% after last night.  Went 9-9 between the two cards.  I hope I can pull it back up with tonights cards.

Since UFC 131 my pick % has dropped 4.1 because I started picking full cards for the small shows and absolutely **** the bed on my versus and 132 picks.
