Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 5 Perfect, 630 Points   |   10th Place

When reading the results off the UG it appears that we also had the wrong Josh Christensen fighting. The fighter we had on Tapology here (and linked to both Sherdog and UG) was a 36 years old 11-5 LHW vet. But according to the results the Josh who actually fought (and lost) in the main event was this guy, a 28 years old WW 0-1 (now 0-2) beginner (here is his Sherdog profile). So I guess another fight gets voided.

I would say the UG linked to the wrong guy? The guy we had has fought in MCC and is also the correct weight.
I got the pick wrong so I'm not overly fussed :P

I'm not sure myself. The guy on the poster certainly looks more like the Christensen I recognize. So I'm just leaving this result blank for now, let the powers that be decide. I picked it wrong too btw, Imes and his below .500 record was only 4% it turns out.

I'm confident we've got it correct on Tap and that someone wasn't paying attention on UG.

Which guy makes sense for their 205 lbs main event title fight:
- a 205 lbs fighter with an extensive record who has fought for them before
- a 170 lbs fighter who is 0-1 and hasn't been active in 5 years

I guess anything is possible, but this would be really really weird if we had it wrong.
