(HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU ABOUT THE TIME I ACCIDENTALLY DRANK TOM ERIKSON’S SWEAT? I HAVE? WELL F*CK YOU THEN!!)
In December, our dear friend Gary Goodridge released an autobiography called Gatekeeper. Co-written by CagePotato contributor Mark Dorsey, the book is an honest and eye-opening account of Goodridge’s hard-knock upbringing, his early career triumphs in arm-wrestling and MMA, his career decline, and everything in between. It’s a must-read for any hardcore fight fan, and we’ve got two copies to give away, signed by Big Daddy himself.
To earn one, you’ll have to dominate our latest test of fight-picking skill. This weekend gives us two notable MMA events: UFC on FX 2: Alves vs. Kampmann on Friday and Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey on Saturday. Submit your predictions for both main events in the comments section below, including the winner’s name, the method of victory, and the time/round of stoppage, if any. Your entry should be in this format:
– Martin Kampmann def. Thiago Alves via split-decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)
– Miesha Tate def. Ronda Rousey via TKO, 3:08 of round 2
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 Alves vs. Kampmann is a three-rounder, and Tate vs. Rousey is scheduled for five.) The two most accurate predictions win a copy of the book. Entries must be in by tomorrow at 9 p.m. ET, and we’ll announce the winner on Monday; one entry per person, please. Any other questions, let us know. Good luck!
