Yes, every weekend contest from here on out is going to have a random, pointless theme. It will be selected by the prior contest's winner if they so choose. However crimedawg92, last weekend's winner, might not even know he/she won the contest.  Therefore using my executive powers, I have decided that with UFC 138 headed to Birmingham, England, that a theme of Second City Derby is most fitting.





We've got 4 events lined up for your fight-picking pleasure this weekend.  Get those picks in!!!

Superior Cage Combat 3 is Friday from Las Vegas, Nevada



UFC 138 is Saturday from Birmingham, England



ProElite 2 is Saturday from Moline, Illinois



Armageddon FC 7 is Saturday from Colwood, British Columbia





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!

This was a pretty rough week for everyone, very few people had over 60% correct.

i did absolutely terrible in this contest :( ... i hate to make excuses but i rushed my picks in on friday and didn't take as much time over them as i usually do

still i had a great time at UFC 138, i didn't get to meet any fighters on the card but i met Ian Freeman and Darren Towler in the Arena between fights.

yeah me and snowman both had our Tap T's on ... they were sat at a table with a few others, next to the beer queue and i recognised them but couldn't think of Towler's name at the time and didn't want to ask for a photo in case it came up lol

i went over and Ian was just chatting with the group he was in, i didn't want to hassle him at first where he was talking but then i thought screw it, how often do you get the chance, i waited for him to finish what he was saying, excused myself for butting in and just asked him if i could get a quick photo and he said "of course", he didn't seem the slightest bit bothered and was really friendly

i went back into the arena with the beers and told snowman and the other friend i was with i'd just got a photo with Freeman but there was another fighter with him that i couldn't remember the name of, and was too embarrassed to ask for a pic etc... anyway on the way out i saw them again and pointed them out, snowman just went over and asked him (Towler) and he was more than happy to do it... i was just about to take the picture and his girlfriend/wife (i'm guessing) offered to take the picture instead so we could all be in it, which was cool and very thoughtful of her.

overall it was a great night... i'm not gonna lie i was extemely pissed when Leben/Munoz was waved off due to the cut and Chris saying he couldn't see but i wasn't gonna let it spoil the evening lol
