PrintSeason 5 of the Mania Money Pool is fast approaching. UFC Fight Night 25 is on the 17th of September. That's only 11 days away!
We had a very successful season 4. Agar 'the lurker' was the big winner. NNR took home a nice purse (not the kind Snitchy McDouche wears), and TheGreg also came out on top.
I wanted to know if staff at Mania read these threads or cared about our pool, so I'm going to make them an offer if they see this. One of you guys can play on my dime. I want to pay for one of you to join us. You can discuss this amongst yourselves and decide who will represent the experts, or the first one of you fuckers that sees this can email me and snatch the free spot. You'll be entitled to any event wins you earn, and you'll be eligible for season finale prizes just like everybody else. I just want a staff member in the pool (you don't count Brian because you sucked ass last year. I'm still waiting to write my sentence in one of your articles as well, sucker).
Feel free to join, BEtards. It's not quite as exciting as a 10 man free pool between sites, but you can win money instead of cyber bragging rights. If you got the sac for it that is.

Good job Commissioner.
You managed to include Geno and Tom in the pool. Good thinking.
Not only is GSP gonna finish Diaz, he's gonna do it much faster than the 7 minutes it took Silva to finish Okami. You can quote me now or quote me later, doesn't matter.
oh shit, tha man himself is playing

Nostradumbass would be perfect for u guys
"Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride."
yes, he should be the only one who gets in for free.
i wanna see how his predictions stacks up against us commonfolk.
Fighting solves everything.
not too good....
I used a couple on the undercard for the last event – one or two went against my gut completely and it sucked lol….
I'm my sig's pimp
Pro sig bet record: 1-3-0
JH doesn't pick the undercard
only the main card. Not sure who you copied, but it wasn’t Jesse.
Why do I keep picking Forrest against far superior Brazilian fighters? Because I’m a dumb old man who pretends to be Irish that’s why.
no i just realised..... lol
that was someone elses picks i was looking at for the undercard in last two events. lol way to sound like an absolute idiot! But i gotta say – i was trying anything in the last two events determining if my picking was better than influenced picking – it turns out it makes much of a muchness for my picks in the end! i just have fun anyway ;)
I'm my sig's pimp
Pro sig bet record: 1-3-0
Lol at the poll
And did you get my $20 mate? Sent it to you last night though I fucked up and sent it as USDollars (damn Canadian currency confusing me), let me know if I owe you anything else.
Hopefully a staff member signs up, would be great to get Tom or Jesse involved seeing as the General’s already busy with FFB and Hemmi failed so badly that he was out of the running before the first event even started.
Would be good to get some BE people to join in (donkeypunch doesn’t count as he’s on here often and manned up to join the Better League) though I doubt that they will, even Rollo pussed out. Who knew the intelligentsia had so little spare cash to gamble with, no wonder they love the fake money pool so much just like our resident lotto winner.

Better League needed volunteers and you wouldn’t step up. Jay doesn’t watch either and he came third last year, though looking at his roster and competition this year I doubt he’ll do as well.

i would never flake out of something i commit to.. unlike OJR or that pussy rollo.

You could and should have played in every fantasy league
We needed numbers and you were one of the many to let us down. For shame Mr OG.
And my numbers last season were tragic but it’s a fresh start this season and it’s not like you’ve ever won any (real) money in these leagues either.

wrong again~ i won $20 challenging the former champ VM to a side bet..

In my defense
The early closing time of the picks really fucked me over. I’m actually pretty damn good at predictions, but I’m a habitual procrastinator.
I will join this league again and (as long as I can get all my picks in on time), I will do much better. I know I screwed up at least one week where I would have gotten first place because I didn’t get my picks in on time.
Btw, I’ve got previews for all the Strikeforce fights coming out this week, would you be interested in providing the final sentence of say, the Barnett vs. Kharitonov article Jay?

do as most do - make your picks five events in advance or something - just initial picks...
I was doing that and for one event i ALMOST forgot about i went to put them in and most of what i was feeling that week was already there – just a few slight changes….

I guess I’ve been under a rock. WTF is up with Nick Diaz? Is he on crack or something?

Then I guess Diaz isn't a fighter anymore.
Couldn’t even show up for his own press conference. He was headlining a UFC PPV.
It sucks, I was looking forward to that matchup. He will probably be banished to undercard fights or get put in with Rick Story or Brenneman next, I guess.
At least Condit was game enought to accept the fight.
"That wasn't just winning. I mean, that was just demolishment."
I was really looking forward to Diaz/GSP
But at least one of them doesn’t have to lose now.
