Yes, every weekend contest from here on out is going to have a random, pointless theme. This weekend we celebrate bacon and all the joy it can give you. We've got 4 events lined up for your fight-picking pleasure this weekend. Get those picks in!!!

Cage Warriors 44 is Saturday from London, England (streaming online!)

BEP 5: Breast Cancer Beatdown is Saturday from Fletcher, North Carolina

Bellator 52 is Saturday from Lake Charles, Louisiana (Spike.com and MTV2!)

UFC on Versus 6: Cruz vs Johnson is Saturday from Washington, D.C.

Contest Prizes:
First place will be 600 points, second place will be 300 points, and third place will be 150 points. The champion also takes home r1zla's work of art:

Scoring:
Contest scoring uses regular Tapology scoring. You get 50 points for every fight you pick correctly, and extra points if you perfectly call the fight via decision or the method+round combination. To score high and have a chance at winning the contest you'll need to pick as many of the fights as possible. Tapology is filled with fight-picking savages, so you'll need to bring your A-game.

How to enter:
Just pick the fights and you'll be automatically entered. No need to do anything else.

GOOD LUCK!

LOL! Me too, because mine will most likely never see the top 3 again. My picks have been crapola and the competition here seems to be getting increasingly better.

Suuuuuuure ACFMMA. I'm sure you won't be anywhere near the top this week(rolls eyes at the thought of ACFMMA making ****** picks).

Great post @Gregory listing the history of the contests. Lots of familiar names listed in the top 3.

Threads like this with tracking podium winners make you want to get your name up there even more, they add to the addiction of making picks and belt progression. I'm pretty sure greg and jeremy sold crack in highschool.
