Tie-Breakers

In the event that two or more eligible contestants reach a tie for the Grand Prize, the Grand Prize winner will be determined according to the following tie-breaking system: the contestant with the highest single-fight point total for the UFC 134 Main Event will be declared the winner. In the event of a remaining tie, the contestant with the highest single-fight point total for the UFC 134 Co-Main Event will be declared the winner. In the event of a remaining tie, point totals will continue being matched head-to-head on a single-fight basis for each remaining fight card bout, in reverse order of their occurrence on fight night, until a contest winner is determined. In the event of a remaining tie, the Grand Prize will be split equally among each remaining winner.

@wolf, Barboza = Charles Oliveira, overhyped, untested, "next big thing" who ultimately is not destined to win.

I agree Barboza hasn't been truly tested yet, but I'm pretty damn impressed so far.

Not many going with Nog against Scaub...I don't see what he does better then Nog. I know he's old and worn out but I still think he doesnt everything better

Schaub is definitely a better striker! And I think he's faster for sure.

@Piercerdan im definatly thinking Schaub by KO, I think it will go down just like the Mir/Nog fight

The fight I'm most nervous about is the Nogueira/Schaub fight. I went Nog by Sub in the 3rd, he always starts slow but comes back, the question is does he have any comebacks left?

I think that coming out slow will be what ultimately causes Nog to lose.

@xbass. how can you compare barboza to oiveira? barboza and tibau "are" by far the two biggest LW's oliveira was always too skinny and now is going down to 145. barboza is just going to pin pearson against the cage and unload.
