Me too!
By the way, Anderson is so, so good. His striking is so, so good. Remember how GSP couldn't stop a one eye'd Koscheck in 5 rounds with jabs? Yeah, Anderson just finished Okami with his jab in 2.
If you took away Anderson's knees and kicks, he would still be the best striker in MMA, imo. His boxing is absolutely great.

The results are still tentative, but if it holds up, YOU would win the tie-breaker for 1st place. The tie-breaker starts at the top of the card and goes fight by fight. Since you had the main event perfect and the other person did not, you would win.
Again, results aren't final yet, but it's looking good for you!

(from the contest info page)
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.

Should've went with my gut on the Nog fight, but I put down some money on Nog so it's all good. That fight made the card for me. :)
And thank you Nedkov hahaha.
Palhares must've been trying to show off his hands or something, he didn't go for a single submission! I was baffled. And once again he showed some poor fight IQ...
