Like I said in my previous post where I picked my fights. I would like to change the system in 2012 to the Sherdog MMA Pick'Em poule.

Not only is it really easy to count everything, since it al goes automatically, you also have a lot more different ways to score a fight.

*You can choose the winner of the fight.
*You can choose how the fight will end.
*You can choose in which round the fight will end.
*You can boost certain fights to get more points from those specific fights if you are really certain about your choice. (Or lose points if you have your boosted fight wrong!)
*Tie brakers will be easily solved by random questions like:
*What will be the total time of all fights at UFC 141?
*How many total takedowns will be landed in the main event?

I see a lot of great point in this system.

*You can't copy a list of the top guys.
*You don't have to count the points. That will be done for you.
*You can play in a TL only poul and even compare you scores with people outside of it.
*It is easy.

There are some lesser points.

*Tie brakers can have some strange question that is just guessing.
*You have to register on Sherdog or log in via Facebook.
*Boost system can be a little iffy.
*We don't have any input in the fights we are going to do.

I don't have anything to do with Sherdog. I just think it is a pretty cool system and would like to have the input of others. If people want to try it out, you can do that at fantasy.sherdog.com

Have to admit I was half-guessing the Dream fights, really pleased about my picks for UFC 141 though.

On a side note, I don't know if betting on the preliminaries is a very fair thing to have because not a whole lot of people know about a lot of these fighters, and even when someone DOES know about some of these fighters it's still really hard to tell who's better than the other due to the fact that they've fought in different leagues, haven't fought any recognizable names yet, etc. When people don't know the important info in terms of a bet, then people are then betting with luck, instead of analyzing and making an educated guess as to who's going to win.

Like the first two matches on UFC 142 (Fabio Maldonado vs. Caio Magalhaes and Felipe Arantes vs. Antonio Carvalho). I'm going to make a guess that Fabio Maldonado is going to win based on his experience and the fact that he's beat some decent guys before, but I have no clue how good his opponent is since I've never heard of him.

I thought about this and decided to do it because more fights = more variance in the scores, which makes this more interesting. I may start doing main-card only when the scores become more distributed.

Also if it helps I'm just as clueless about the prelims as you are.

Based on the reactions, I feel confident that Johnson knew he wouldn't make weight, asked White what would happen, white told him about the 205 by fight time deal, and he stopped trying to cut weight. He doesn't look dehydrated, doesn't look slow or tired, and how else does someone miss weight by THAT much? - GroundhogExpert from r/MMA

I think this could be possible, I will have to see tomorrow what my pick will be...
