@mike lmao, look again, I haven't made a pick in almost a year before this UFC quarterly competition, which I'm winning by the way.

@ben doesn't look like we were picked. Haven't heard from Spike and I think we would have by now, Joni (casting director) told me in our final interview that Mirko didn't have much charisma in his interview, whether that had anything to do with it IDK.

And let's be clear about something, I never challenged anyone, I hadn't even been on this site in like I said, about a year, except rarely, when all of a sudden I received an e-mail asking if I would be interested in being on TV. I thought the whole thing was hilarious, but I'm not going to turn down a chance to be on television and whoop some idiot for $5,000. Which is what the winner of each show gets I was told.

I have Rivas up 10-9 but no one has made any huge statements.

@cthulu haha that was funny.

I know both these guys are terrible, I just don't have FS2 and have Rivas picked, just trying to see how that was going. Thanks.

I have Rivas up 20-18, but it's uh, not very polished shall we say.

They should have just let Lineker fight both of these guys.

At the same time

It would have been kinda fair.

20-18 Rivas in a so far uneventful fight.

@tacos by the way, how are you winning this event but yet still almost 700th in the UFC competition, putting you I gotta guess pretty damn close to dead last out of everyone who has picked every fight so far.

Oh yeah, that's right, you're a goddamned idiot.

the crowd is turning this into a political war... the main parties in Brazil are blue (right wing) and red (left wing)... they are cheering for the guy in blue, chanting things against the workers party (red).

that's how bad this fight is.
