South Florida has its Blackzilians, and New York has its Blacktalians. The incredible t-shirt you see above is a collaboration between Longo/Serra MMA and East Coast MMA Fight Shop, and features the famous “Ray Longo as a younger, suprisingly handsome man” photo that the acclaimed trainer proudly hangs in his gym, and proudly uses as his twitter avatar. You can buy one of these shirts right here for $26.
Of course, we wouldn’t even mention this if we weren’t giving you a chance to win one for free. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s fight-picking time. And we’re going to keep it real simple this time. On Saturday night, Anderson Silva will meet Stephan Bonnar in the main event of UFC 153 in Rio. You’re going to tell us who will win and how. Your entry should be in this format:
– Anderson Silva def. Stephan Bonnar via TKO (cut), 2:36 of round 2
or
– Anderson Silva def. Stephan Bonnar via unanimous decision (30-24 x 3)
or
– Stephan Bonnar def. Anderson Silva via submission (monkeys flew out of butt), 4:54 of round 3
Please include the judges’ scores if you think a fight will end in a decision, in case we need them for a tie-breaker; keep in mind that Silva vs. Bonnar is only scheduled for three rounds. The most accurate prediction will win a fresh new Blacktalians t-shirt, though we may award more than one in case of a tie. Entries must be in by Saturday at noon ET, and we’ll announce the winner on Monday. One entry per person, please. Any other questions, let us know. Good luck!
