I picked against the Brazilians ALOT. I hope it doesn't bite me in the ass.

I love Tapology, but you'd rather have our shirt than a shirt signed by Shogun?  Wow, I don't even know if I can say that.

Besides, you can always buy a Tapology shirt through the 'shop' link in the footer. We're planning on advertising that fact a little more since not everyone knows they're available.

@Jeremy, not really a Shogun fan, but if offered a Jon Bones Jones shirt... ;)

With that said, I'm constantly on Tapology and if I won I'd probably be happier to rep my favorite MMA website than a fighter I'm not really a fan of! :)

Even if you're not a Shogun fan, you could probably make a pretty penny off of it on eBay.  Since you'd be getting it for free if you won this competition, anything you could get would be gravy.

I'm not entirely confident in my picks.  I hardly ever get anywhere near the top 50, let alone 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.  However, I definitely wouldn't mind winning this one.
