Anyone know any of the following:


-Most fights in an event where someone predicted every winner?

-Most KOs correctly predicted in an event?

-Most Submission correctly predicted in an event?

-Most Decisions correctly predicted in an event?


I was just wondering as it is pretty hard to ever get something like 5 of 5 right on an event.  I know that the bigger an event, the more chances you have but this has always interested me.  Maybe a ribbon made for these?

Island Fights is the promotion you're looking for.






SLAMM isn't happening again (suprisingly), although maybe under a different name.


The biggest pickable event was MIMMA 2: Ladder Match I believe. A bunch of finishes and rounds are still missing for it though, so in a lot of cases it's just "winner".

Awesome to see this.  So 8 out of 8 is the best?

I'm pretty sure I got 9/9 and maybe 10/10 in the past, but never more Perfects within 12 fights than on those Island Fights. Those were some pretty one-sided matchups.

I was thinking that someone who picks decisions for every fight would probably get the record for most perfects in an event.

So after scrolling through all 200+ pages of my pick history I've gone 12/12 twice:

Way back when...

And this past weekend.



I've also gone 10/10 five times.  Not really a great ratio considering I've picked over 4000 events.

I got a couple of 13/13's  one 11/11 and two 10/10's all on pretty major events too. which is surprising

Yeah, turns out that it's easier than I thought, I got a 10/10 just last weekend and the most recent 12/12 earlier this month.


As for if I got more, I'd need to dig through way more pages than I'd like. For what it's worth though, 31 winners in a single event is probably the most anybody ever got percentage aside.

Are there any ribbons for such awards like 10 perfect in an event? That kind of stuff could be new awards if there is nothing like that.

Yes there is an award for 4,5,6,7,8 perfects....

Best I've done is 10/12 :( I have only done 19 events and mostly UFC so I guess that's not too bad. I think it is great anytime you predict more than 70% right. From my experience here and on other sites for UFC events the best predictors out there get a career average of 65-69%. It's just hard to maintain anything more than that over the long haul because everyone has a bad night. Had a 5/13 night which was my worst on here, I have had nights where I hardly got any right though.

I believe that many people on here pick the favs and that is why their averages are in the 60-65% range.

The 60s is just the percentage people tend to land in if they're good pickers from what I see. Competition winners tend to do 70%.

That is quite a bit. I should have picked from that event.

This is something I actually asked Greg about. I think it would be awesome if there was a way to "sort" through your old picks and filter from best to worst.
