I literally haven't a clue about anyone in this, except the main event.

Actually, spoke too soon, I know of Yushin Okami too. For some reason I keep thinking his nickname is a direct reference to Jushin Liger.
You'll want Benavidez. Can't see him losing at all.
Sssssshhhh Phil ffs. I've got points to make up.
I spent half an hour going through my picks. I have loads of points to make up after last week.
This! Someone knock out Numbers for giving everyone tips, he's too strong for me.
I just wanna be friends 
I'm going for the exact same bet.
This sounds sarcastic. In any case I've got the other guy.
Looking down my card I've got eight Brazilians to win.
Benavidez is a great fighter and was easily the favourite for the flyweight tournament that took place last year.
But having 8 Brazilians winning is usually the sensible thing in this sport
Terrible predictions from saturday night by me. The only finish i predicted was the only decision on the main card.
Oh dear, two of Phil's bets on one card?? Ok I'm going for an escaped tiger from a nearby zoo making his way in and eating 3 mma fighters. Either that or a planecrash in the center of the octagon.
He was one I picked, for reasons I still don't know...
5er on Okami to beat the tiger in a 3 stages of hell match afterwards.
I won money, I have broken the curse. My bets are now free to run wild and win money all over the place.
Last heads up that the prelims start at 10pm on BT Sports 2 (earlier than I actually realised) and the main show starts at 12pm. Beyond The Octagon is on at 9pm in the lead up.
Talking of that, anybody been watching much of it? Nice to see them actually putting time into UFC discussion stuff. I've caught two episodes now, not too bad, though I'm still not completely sold on Davies and Pearce as the two hosts, though I also don't find them bad. Just kind of middle ground right now for me. Think Pearce will grow on me though and she'll improve as time goes on.

I have BT Sport. Well, I have access to the internet stream on their website. But the quality of the stream is so shit that it is actually easier and more enjoyable to watch an illegal one. fecking stupid.
Prelims here, 9.30pm
What a terrible way to get caught in a choke. Prelims have been dog turd so far.
Pretty muck indeed, looks like amateur hour.
1-1 in my picks. Stupid idea picking Hernandez, especially as I only picked the cnut because his name is Hernandez.

Comparing that Souza guy's striking to Anderson Silva is a bit ridiculous. I thought it looked pretty bad.
I mean, I suppose they both actually strike, they're similar in that.
Balls, I had Arantes. 1-1.
Oh, yeah, had Arantes too, bollocks.
I have the Russian guy in this one, Baguettemadov or whatever the feck he's called.
Same here, somehow not knowing any of the fighters, I have consistently managed to pick the smaller one every time.
Yesssssssss, get in there Burittovodka.
2-2 now, nice finish by Russian Ballotelli.
Aye, was a good punch. I think he might have been losing on the scorecards and all before he landed that.
I can never tell on the scorecards anymore....
10-9 Natal
Fuuuuuck!
So Tor is the Terminator. Interesting.
*Torminator.
Balls, how did I miss that?! Especially after my excellent Burritovodka.
I forgot to give you a gold star for that one too, excellent showing.
3-1 for me in picks now.
2-3 for me.
All Trinaldo had to do was not rush in whenever he landed that last body kick that floored Hallman.
Although, to be fair, incredibly hard to control yourself whenever you're in that kill mode.

fecking idiot. I had Trinaldo. 3-2
Didn't have anyone here.
Just rushed in for the quick finish, had he not done that, probably we'd be complaining he didn't have it.
