———————————————————————————

UFC 130 Predictions Results: I was 144-107-3 coming in and did alright. I wanted to pick Boetsch but feared his weight cut would mess him up but it didn’t. Also I was thinking about picking Story, I knew he would make it a fight. I went 7-3 which is alright to me, at this point I want 8-2 or higher though. I am now 151-110-3, still looks like a pathetic record.

UFC 129 Predictions Results: I was 136-103-3 coming in and did decent. The pick of Couture was out of sheer respect. I knew Machida had an edge but thought Couture would put all of his remaining tank into this. Watch out for Rory MacDonald, future contender. Dana might have to give out a shit load of bonuses, the event lived up to the hype for damn sure. I went 8-4 to improve my record to 144-107-3, still sucks.
