    Welcome to the 6th edition of the Ultimate Prediction League. You guys should already be familiar with the rules, but I'll just go over a few of the main ones.

    You pick the winners, method of victory and round of the 5 PPV main card fights. You must send me your picks via PM. You have until 1 hour before the PPV begins (9:00 EST) to send me your picks. Picks not sent via PM or sent after the deadline will not be counted. Scoring is as follows....

    Picking the winner: 5 points (10 points if you correctly pick a draw)
    Picking the round (must pick the winner): 2 bonus points
    Picking the method of victory (must pick the winner): 2 bonus points
    Main Event fights will be scored double.

    My picks are in, really struggled with the Nog vs Herman fight. I feel like Nog is darn close to being completely shot even though I thought he looked pretty good against Mir in the rematch until he got in trouble on the ground, I also think he hasn't had enough time to fully recover from his injury and yet Herman isn't really in the same league as a healthy Nog so I'm struggling with this pick. Its certainly a 50/50 for me.

    Herman sucks.

    I had a harder time picking the Silva vs Fitch fight.

    That's another tough one, but I still struggled with Nog vs Herman more, too many variables in that fight. Forgetting that the fight is in Brazil though, I think Nog stands a better chance than usual. He'll be motivated.

    They are showing 6 fights on the PPV. I want to keep the contest as uniform as possible from card to card, so I am only putting 5 fights in each contest. I chose to omit the Davis fight.

    hoping to see a breakout performance by erick silva. i'd be impressed if he blasts out fitch or even if he just wins convincingly via decision.

    Same here, Silva has a LOT to gain in this fight, Fitch has a LOT to lose. Fitch is not in a good position in this fight.

    Fitch will most likely smother him to a UD. Unless he gets blasted like he did against Hendricks but I woulnd't count on that happening.

    I was sure i was about to see the first death in the UFC. That fight should have been stopped.

    Difficult to watch. This fight should be over.

    How he got the strength to rock Glover was outrageous.

    Yamasaki needs to be suspended IMO. Pray for Maldonado tonight.
