Not bad.  

Only two out of my seven underdogs lost.  And both were damn close!  

I'll keep an eye out for the last dark bout.

I'm just an idiot for following ben's link, reading the "fight analysis", believing the experts and switching **** around. That's 65/100 (forgot what I had) + 65 + 75 points down the drain.

Which ones did I change your mind on?

MNmmanews.com should only be viewed as "experts" on Minnesota fighters.  

I/they made a case for Mortensen and Ouradnik, both dogs that won.

Nah, not you ben. It's that just before saving the remaining picks I noticed link in your first post and decided to get some more "inside" info. Somehow this always happens when I let myself get influenced by what I "read on the Internet".

This is what I stupidly believed. And yeah, I think none of those fighters are actually from Minnesota lol.

1. " Westdorp has the experience, but athleticism will win out with Johnson claiming a unanimous-decision win after a three-round war."

"Johnson is da real deal I hear, she gets a first-round sub, arm triangle."

2. "Brito is a great prospect out of Wisconsin. They're very high on him, and he jumped at the opportunity to showcase his skills for RFA. Brito is a good wrestler with a strong ground game."

"Brito is a monster dude! Brito by first-round sub, arm triangle."

(Funnily enough Mortensen was the one I originally had via sub thanks to his multiple sub wins over opponents with long winning records.)

3. "Collier is fantastic and well-rounded, but Checco is the real deal. He'll win here by first-round TKO and get the call from the UFC shortly after."

"If the enemy rejects the ground, I would take him down by tackle. Why didn’t he [Royler] do so? May I introduce him to a good coach? His tackle was... like a girl’s one... Mr. Royler, how are you feeling?" - Kazushi Sakuraba
