Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 5 Perfect, 615 Points   |   Tied for 151st

Greg and Skelliher are off this week (fixing global warming and bringing peace to the Middle East, respectively).  

I agreed to monitor the festivities of UFC Fight Night 44.  

Featuring a likely title-eliminator fight in the main event, and some great talent on the undercard, enjoy this fine free event from your UFC overlords.

If all 3 judges don't give that to Ellenberger, they should get shot.

IMO, Moontasri should not win this fight. Either a draw or a win for Joe. IMO.

Wow, I've got it a draw but Moontasri deserves to lose for showing NO urgency and mugging for the camera.

Close last round. Should be draw but a Moontarsi win wouldn't surprise me at all. Good fight.

Moontasri showed no urgency whatsoever in the 3rd. He should not win that round.

I agree with you guys, but judges give more value to 30 seconds doing nothing in a guys guard at the end of the round than the other four minutes you were winning,

I think Ellenberger deserves to win, my score is a draw and I am completely sure he will lose.

Ellenburger took that last round in my eyes.  Not sure what Moontasri was thinking coasting that last minute.  

Could get interesting if anyone had round one a 10-8......

I'll take that decision. I think mugging for the camera hurt that fighter.

Shocked the judges got that right. Pleasantly surprised.

Good for him. Lots of heart. Still think that first was a 10-8
