McArthur's 2010 MMAMania Fight Pick'em Pool - UFC on Versus 1 - Round 6  2.0


THIS IS THE SECOND THREAD FOR THESE PICKS....IF YOU'VE ALREADY MADE YOUR PICKS YOU NO LONGER NEED TO DO SO.  HERE IS A LINK TO THE FIRST THREAD IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN IF YOU'VE PICKED OR NOT.

http://www.mmamania.com/2010/3/8/1320032/mcarthurs-2010-mmamania-fight

Alright.  Sunday March 21st we're back in business.  4 fights to pick.  The Saturday folowing this event, March 27th,  will be UFC 111 in which we'll be picking 5 more main card fights.  I will be posting a separte thread for UFC 111 on Sunday March 21st, the same day as UFC on Versus.   However, the fights we will be picking for UFC 111 AND UNF 21 are listed below.  If you choose to make your picks for these additional cards in advance, you may do so in this thread.  There will be other threads dedicated to UFC 111 and UFN 21 later on but if you'd rather use this thread, feel free.   Confused yet?  Don't be, its easy if you read this....but if you only read bold or capital letters then YOU ONLY NEED TO PICK UFC on VERSUS 1 HERE..haha. 

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, ASK THEM HERE.

 

ALSO, IF A FIGHTER IS INJURED OR A FIGHT CHANGED FOR ANY REASON, THE FIGHT WILL BE STRICKEN FROM THE POOL.  I realize that there is still 3 weeks till Fight Night 21 but due to there being 3 events in 10 days I need to do it this way as it'll be too tough to do it when the event gets closer. Sorry for any inconvienience.

kevjacks picks

Vera (love the odds too)
Gonzaga
Buentello
howard

only way I get in this is by picking underdogs!

kevin, i was liking the odds on vera as well, but then i remembered that bones is a straight killer!~ this kid has fire and i felt it as a waste bet.. vera has looked like a shitcan ever since he dropped to light heavy.. what makes you think he will be able to turn it up against a young studd like jones?

from one gambling man to another!~ dont even waste the bet.. veras the dog for a reason, imo..

i am the mighty tighty whitey and im smuggling plums!~

We're both going to be 4/4 then NNR, well hopefully anyway haha

I’m very confident in the first 3 picks at least, though I have a feeling that the Howard pick might bite me in the arse. I only picked him as I know nothing about his opponent.

only way for roberts to win is to sub howard..

and i picked roberts..hoping like hell he is an upset ..he has 12 years wrestling and jits..so i dunno..howard is serious..but maybe he will underestimate the new guy to ufc..i am hoping so..plus so many people picked howard..it will either put me one ahead…or you guys will sneak up by one…

I've been regretting the Howard pick ever since

I have a feeling that snubbing Roberts is going to cost me this weekend. Whilst JDS, Bones and Kongo are all locks this one has been bothering me, just like my Big Nog pick from 110 and we all know how that one turned out.

What about??

Alright Mac, I like others want to get involved but realise its fair enough that you have a cut off point. What about having a ‘season’ ie set an event where this competition ends so you can crown a champ?

Then kick it off again a couple of weeks later.

Once again, i dont think you get enough props for doing this, it must take ages, good work.

People keep saying “unorthodox”. Here’s what I say:
If that was the right way to do it, they’d call it orthodox.

After a minor genealogical search, I have determined that Cain Velasquez's great-grandfather was a truck.
And Mirko Cro Cop is a direct descendant of a wrecking ball. But I think you already knew that.

I know..I've never even heard of some of these guys or seen them post...leads me to believe that my choice to close the doors was a smart one

due to popular demand....Chuntsman949, Vulcano, and rmclimack NEED to play this event or risk elimination

All three have missed at least the last 2 events and will be replaced by 3 other Maniacs if this event is missed too

Haha Worby trying to weasel out of his worst pick

Bones, JDS and Kongo are all locks in my opinion but I wish that I did some research on Johnson before blindly picking Howard. That is the only pick that I’m nervous about and I have a gut feeling that it’s going to cost me a perfect 4.

"We just had our best season (of TUF) last season and it was season 10"
"Nogueira is probabaly the best HW of all time"

Dana White, proving that he's clueless about Australian sports, has never heard of Fedor and is still trying to hype up TUF 10.

Zino Picks Versus (bold is W)

Main event:

205 lbs.: Jon Jones vs. Brandon Vera

This was much harder to pick than i originaly thought it would be. Im a Vera fan but Jones is one of my new favs the last year and a half. These boys look ready to go.
Main card (Televised):

265 lbs.: Junior Dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
265 lbs.: Cheick Kongo vs. Paul Buentello
170 lbs.: John Howard vs. Daniel Roberts

IM not sure if i picked Guida in Jays undercard thread. I’ll put this here for the easy time stamp.

I want Ricardo Arona to sign with the UFC and his first fight should be James Toney. This is a win win scenario for MMA
