as much as I want to see how big the other thread will get throughout the year, I think we needed a cleaner OP for newer members to be able to tell what is going on, so for all future discussion please come to this thread and kindly let the other one die. 

The draft is over and we have our 6 new FANTASTIC teams, I'm really excited to see how this season unfolds as I think any team can win after the draft here is the new updated rosters and the team standings as of WEEK 8.

I did so bad last night. I feel jobbed by the McCall and Alves fights, because I felt McCall won and Alves made a dumb mistake. Other than that I still had a crappy night.

Are we picking based on our percentages/teams or are we picking because we are MMA fans? What if someone from Johannesburg wanted to be apart of this? Would you tell him we aren't picking fights with no info because we all sucked on the ECFA card? I mean, EFCA's facebook was updated pretty well and most of the fighters had past fights on youtube. It actually had more info than some of these cards we pick. I'm also sure some people from Vancouver BC wouldn't be too happy because I know there's alot of cards up there that have not too much info, but some people from that area do pretty well on those cards (not sure if they are in the MVP league though).

I personally don't care because some of those more obscure fight cards do take some time and I have to dive into foreign websites to find any info on some fighters/organizations. Either way, just let us know what you guys are planning on doing.

3 top 10 finishes, but I finished in the bottom 6 for BFL 32 amongst all picker who picked all 6 fights. I went 6 for 11 on a UFC card, which is amazing for me considering that the UFC is like my ******* kryptonite.

All in all, an inconsistent weekend with 0 wins.

@OldNick, these are my thoughts exactly.

I so wish the whole weekend was updated or I didn't have any losses coming in.  420 wrong picks is the ultimate place to sit in my opinion.

In response to @wolf, if a fight is available to pick it will be a part of the contest, if you don't want to pick cards with no info on the fighters that is an appeal you need to make to gregory and the people who add events.

i'm very happy. i set just about every record in hard knocks event . keep all the events. bring em on.plus my team kicked azz on the most important event point wise. dawg got second, old nick and type are in top 8 and we got many other places. 14th win my friend and if there was not an upset on the top fight i would have won two events. 15 is coming next week.

Once this last event is entered I'll be at 64.3% which means I will keep my year long streak of upping my % every weekend of this contest. When this year started I was at 60.9%. Then I found out about the UG and started doing a lot more research. There's definitely guys out there who are better at perfects, but I'll hang with anybody when it comes to just picking who will win or lose.

Edit: always knew about the UG, just didn't realize that their records were way more detailed.

I'm barely hanging in the 60+% by my fingernails. A few more bad weekends and I'll be hovering in the 50s.

@theMMAmessiah Hey, I started this competition at 59.5% (around that) so I think I've done a pretty fair turnaround as well.

@geezhound no worries, the Sons of Tapology will destroy all next week.

Sherdog is a good suppliment to the UG, especially for the Canadaian and South Aferican cards.

Sherdog did not list ammy fights on their fighter pages until the recent refresh of their website. Now you can see a lot of ammy fights on Sherdog, but probably not as many as you can find on UG.

Sherdog always had them in their database, they just never previously used them except on event pages.

I use both as well as other detective work. Cant pick 66% like I have been this year without knowing who the fighters are.

I think the way Sherdog breaks down by % fighters method of victory has helped my perfects.
