UFC 86 - Prediction Competition

The first UFC in ages not to have a silly name attached to it should be a good one - Rampage Jackson defends his light-heavyweight title against Forrest “Hit Me Again” Griffin in the main event.

Not many more big names on the card, but Tyson Griffin always gives good sport and, on a personal note, I’d love to see Chris Lytle put the hurt on Josh Koscheck. The show starts at 3am on Saturday night on Setanta Sports 1.

It’s late notice, but I still want your predictions for the fights. Rules are the same as always - 5 points for picking the winner of each fight, plus bonus points for predicting the finishing method (3) and round (1).

Josh leads the way so far with 47 points, with Wes and Ronan following with 36 and 30 points respectively. Not a clue what the prize for the overall leader at the end of the year will be, but you can bet it’ll be amazing.

Main Card

Quinton Jackson Vs. Forrest Griffin
Patrick Cote Vs. Ricardo Almeida
Joe Stevenson Vs. Gleison Tibau
Josh Koscheck Vs. Chris Lytle
Tyson Griffin Vs. Marcus Aurelio

    Nobody going for a Rampage stoppage? I’ll be VERY surprised if Griffin wins the belt tonight.

    Rampage stoppage? That’s just being silly.

    So… …are we saying that I can win one of my own t-shirts?

  9. Comment by Derek IRELAND on July 5, 2008 7:51 pm

    Yeah. Like in father Ted when they fix the raffle so that Dougal wins the car.

    I just wanted to know who you think will win the main event?

    Can’t sleep now.

    I was praying for Forrest to finish it with a triangle in the 4th which would of got me more points in the predictions.

    And Colin I want extra points for predicting Mandy Moore would be there.

    Thats the best Championship fight since GSP kicked Hughes in the head.

    And fair play to Rampage at the end he was classy in defeat.
