‘Fight Life’ Fight-Picking Contest: And the Winners Are…

A big thanks to everyone who entered last week’s fight-picking contest! Being that next to none of you even stuck around to catch this weekend’s sorry-ass offering of fight cards, the entrants were limited to say the least. In any case, the closest prediction went to Eric Moss, who had Kelvin Gastelum defeating Nicholas Musoke by unanimous decision.

Additionally, Evan Zivin and Stan Jasinski also earned themselves copies of Fight Life for predicting Ricardo Lamas to defeat Hacran Dias via unanimous decision and Ray Borg to defeat Shane Howell via submission, respectively. Unfortunately, we cannot pay you in Dude Wipes, Stan, but don’t let that stop you from receiving the proper treatment your stank ass undoubtedly needs.

To our winners, shoot us your mailing addresses and we’ll get your copies of Fight Life in the mail ASAP. By which I mean early next week, because BG has the DVDs and is on vacation. #WeekofDanga

Thanks again, guys!

‘In the Blood’ Fight-Picking Contest: And the Winner Is…

Thanks to everybody who entered last week’s UFC Fight Night 42 fight-picking contest! The competition was tight, but the best prediction came from Scott Sawitz, who had Jon Dodson TKO’ing John Moraga in round 2. (The official stoppage came via doctor’s orders at the end of round 2, but close enough.) Scott, we’ll send out your copy of In the Blood this week.

Honorable mention goes to Evan Zivan, who predicted a Diego Sanchez win by unanimous decision (30-27 x 3), which was pretty close to what happened, due to incompetent and/or corrupt judging. Evan, we’ll send you a five-card pack of UFC Knockout 2014 Trading Cards if you’d like, because Topps sent us a bunch of these things for some reason.

Thanks again, and pick up a DVD copy of In the Blood on Amazon right here.

Hunt vs. Bigfoot Fight-Picking Contest: Win a Sakuraba T-Shirt From Scramble!

We still have a couple of those awesomely official Kazushi Sakuraba t-shirts from Scramble laying around, so how bout we put ’em up for grabs in one more fight-picking contest? This weekend in Brisbane, Australia, hard-hittin’ heavyweights Mark Hunt and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva will meet in the five-round main event of UFC Fight Night 33. Also, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua returns against James Te Huna, Pat Barry slugs it out with Soa Palelei, and Ryan Bader faces Anthony Perosh. (Are you noticing an Oceania vs. The World theme, here?)

The two closest guesses will win the Saku shirts. Your picks should be in this format…

St-Pierre vs. Hendricks Fight-Picking Contest: And the Winner Is…

The crazy thing about last week’s UFC 167/Scramble fight-picking contest was the fact that so many of you were basically right, even though the fight couldn’t have been any different from what we expected. Yes, Georges St-Pierre won by decision…again. He also took the longest sustained beating of his entire career. Who could have predicted that? Certainly not us.

But despite all the “GSP by decision” entries that came in, only one fight-picker predicted that St-Pierre would win by split-decision: Daniel Rogoff, who also got two of the judges’ scores exactly right. Congrats, Daniel, you’ve earned an official Kazushi Sakuraba t-shirt from Scramble! We’ve already sent you a Facebook message about how to claim your prize; please check your “Other” folder today.

Since only one person guessed the outcome correctly, we’re going to go back on our word a little and only award one t-shirt today instead of two. To make up for it, we’ll give you guys one more chance to win a Sakuraba t-shirt by the end of the month. Stay tuned, and thanks again to Scramble for making this happen.
