UFC 84: Ill Will - Prediction Competition - Results

BIG card on this Saturday night with BJ Penn & Sean Sherk heading up the fights with a Lightweight Championship bout. We’ve also got The Axe Murderer versus Techno Viking’s cousin and Tito Ortiz fighting Lyoto Machida to look forward to.

Just to make things a little more interesting, we’re hosting a little compo to see who can pick the winners this weekend.

Rules are simple: leave a comment detailing who you think will win each of the fights on the main card, the winning method (TKO, submission, decision etc) and which round the fight will finish in. You get 5 points for picking the winner plus bonus points for the method (3) and for the round (1). Bonus points are only picked up if the winner is correct.

The person who scores the most points overall wins a lovely t-shirt, and the pride of knowing that they’re smarter than everyone else.

Main card fights:

BJ Penn Vs. Sean Sherk
Wanderlei Silva Vs. Keith Jardine
Wilson Gouveia Vs. Goran Reljic
Tito Ortiz Vs. Lyoto Machida
Thiago Silva Vs. Antonio Mendes

    Leo getting ballsy with the RNC prediction!

    Nice one, I’ll add in an extra bonus point if anyone predicts the winning submission technique correctly.

    Nah. He’s probably right. BJJ Penn would normally go for it. But, I’m not sure he’ll want to wrestle with Sherk. Thing is; he’s so wound up of the steroids thing that he’ll either a) out submission wrestle him “to prove a point” or, b) try to strike him into oblivion to “prove a point”. Be interesting to see which he tries. Of course; I’m sure Sherk is MORE than ready regardless of the option that BJJ Penn will choose.

    Oh my god we’ve got the first Keith Jardine win prediction!! Are you related to him or something Ronan? ha. Thats brave.

    And gotta tell Thomas its impossible for a decision in the 3rd round of the Sherk-Penn fight. But we know what he means, ha.

    It’s hard to bet against someone with a nickname like “The Dean of Mean” …. although I suppose “The Axe Murderer” is pretty impressive too.
