Moosehead · 12-03-2006, 12:03 AM

Ok, lets have some fun. i think we should start a UFC Pool, like a hockey pool you pick which fighter you think will win at each UFC PPV. We will try and keep track and if it works out then we can see who on this MMA board has the best winning percentage. it will be cool to see who can use their knowledge and skill to get the best win percentage. We will start with UFC 66. Just place your picks and we will see who has the skill.

Here are the matches, good luck.

Chuck Liddell (c) vs. Tito Ortiz (UFC LHW Title)
-Forrest Griffin vs. Keith Jardine
-Andrei Arlovski vs. Marcio "Pe De Pano" Cruz
-Chris Leben vs. Jason MacDonald

-Thiago Alves vs. Tony DeSouza
-Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Carmelo Marrero

Very close to what I would pick, the only one I would change is the Tito over Chuck. I am picking MacDonald for the upset, Leben has really shoed us he is just a sloppy brawler with heavy hands and a great chin so MacDonalds BJJ technique should prevail as Leben will be swinging wildly for the fenses so a takedown should not be that difficult for MacDonald.

I would like to see Leben refine his striking skills to become more patient and more accurate with his strikes and not leave his hands down and chin exposed, and never take stabs at Japan's fighters as it seemed to have backfired in his 46 second KO loss.

It is difficult to say how Gonzaga will be, I just remember how sloppy he was in that Sherner fight though it was a long time ago so I don't know if he has been training actively and improving however that sloppy fight vs Sherner was his last fight so I would guess, no, he has not improved and is goign to get owned at UFC 66.
