I was at the event and it was a lot of fun but I had interest in seeing Florian, Emerson and Brock lose
Am I alone in the 87 wall of shame picks?

My picks are as they usually are, hit and miss.
I picked 8 winners. 5 of them, I picked the right round/endings. The other three, I believe I blew the round/endings.

I was actually surprised so many people were picking Luke. Never much a fan of his.

by his performance yesterday, i was very impressed, a lesser fighter would have easily tapped on 3 or 4 seperate occassions
gotta give it up to luke in defeat

The Manny fight is the only one that I was really pissed about, and that's only because he blew my parley (real money)

the biggest bone headed move for me was going against Maia I though McD would try to stand with him

Same here. I figured a parlay of Manny and GSP was fairly conservative. I learned a lesson though and won't bet on a fight like that again. Luckily I bet on Florian too to cover most of my loss.
I did ok on picks considering I only got 6 of 10. Manny was a stunner and I didn't see anything out of Jones that would lead me to believe he could be Gusmao, but thats what happened. I felt Herring was fairly close but went with the tested fighter over the rookie. As for Cummo vs. McCrory, I picked against McCrory mostly on the idea his training camp was having problems, he was going to school full time, teaching part time and not having time to train. I should have changed my pick when I saw the weigh-in photo and he looked great, but I was foolish and didn't do it. Live and learn.

I wanted to pick my boy, but had to take McCrory in a close fight. I had it split decision. As for picks, had an ugly 5-5 mark. Underdogs killed me and I blew my wagers right away. Not to mention I had Herring by tapout in round 1.
