UFC 111 (March 27 - WIN $5 on Full Tilt!)

[Mortis]

Holding a fun little contest for the UFC and MMA fans on CardsChat.

Make your picks, choose the winner of the fight and the outcome of the fight (i.e. TKO, KO, Submission, Unanimous Decision, Split Decision, or Majority Decision), and I will tally up the scores at the end of the fight. The person with the most points will win $5 from me on full tilt poker.

Here's how the contest will be scored:

1 point for choosing the correct winner; if you choose the correct winner, then you have a chance to win another point for choosing the correct outcome.

Example:
You have Joe Bob def. Rosco via TKO.. if Joe Bob defeats Rosco via TKO, then you get 2 points. If Joe Bob were to defeat Rosco via Submission, then you would get 1 point. If Rosco were to defeat Joe Bob, you would not score any points for that fight.

Pretty easy, right?

There are a total of 11 fights on this card, with a total possibility of 22 points. So, make your picks!

Im not totally clear the differance between TKO and KO?

A TKO is when a ref calls the fight due to (usually) strikes. A flurry of strikes in succession to a fighter's opponent and the fighter's opponent is not defending intelligently, just taking it.

A KO is when a fighter's opponent is clearly knocked out.

Examples:

TKO
YouTube- Bobby Lashley vs. Wes Sims (StrikeForce Miami) HQ

KO
YouTube- Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic vs Gabriel Gonzaga KO

Thanks for the clarification!

So, you hate GSP because you bet against him and lost? Maybe you should just quit betting against him

Ricardo Funch has pulled out of his UFC 111 fight with Matt Riddle, and will be replaced by UFC newcomer and New Jersey native, Greg Soto (7-0 MMA), who is a student of Kurt Pellegrino.

I really want to see Carwin vs. Lesnar! That could be billed as a classic good vs. evil match.. seriously!

Carwin and Lesnar are like polar opposites, but with similar builds and backgrounds.. both are college wrestling champions, but Carwin is such a down to earth genuinely nice guy.. and Lesnar's just a complete dick, lol.

If that fight were to happen, Carwin would be going in as the underdog as well.

Soto by submission

Everybody needs to update their pick for the Riddle/Soto fight since the opponent has been changed, or else your pick won't count for that fight.
